"You take that back right this ins... " I begin to scream at Desmond when I am cut off by someone.
"Hey" A feminine voice cuts. Desmond and I look up to find a girl and a boy. The pretty girl is dressed as Hermione from Harry potter and the boy is dressed as Harry Potter himself. They both look to be in the same age group as I.
I look over at Desmond only to find a dead, cold scowl on his face.
"Hi" I reply when I realize Desmond won't say a thing.
"I'm Dana Livingstone" the girl informs
"And I'm Timothy Goodwin" the boy adds
"Oh... I'm Sonia. " I reply and Desmond stares at me.
"Oh, we know who you are. You're Sonia and he's Desmond. " the girl replies pointing her fingers at Desmond.
"Nice to meet you. " I reply as I know not how to react to these strangers.

He falls harshly on his bum."What was that for!? " he questions."Why are you so mean!? The one minute you're sweet as honey and the next you're as sour as lime!" I scream at him"You do have a talent you need to recognize! You're good at hurting people. Why didn't you stop when you heard me call!? " I add and he just stares at me."You only stopped when you got me hurt. That was what you wanted right!? " I add. Tears rolling down my face and my knee bleeding as he rises to his feet.He makes to touch me and I warn him against it."Don't touch me! "He pauses for a second but still proceeds and lifts me into the air bridal style."Put me down! " I struggle taking care not to further irritate my sore knee. Desmond ignores my little tantrum and carries me till we get into his cabin. He places me on the ta
We make it out of my cabin after I put off all the candles and Deborah and I begin our trip to the West swap which is on the other side of the mansion and a little bit in the woods. After saving Deborah from a lot of falls, I lose my patience and carry her bridal style in my arms. Her tiny fingers wrap behind my neck and she doesn't struggle nor complain. I look down at her and I find her gaze keen on me. "What is it? " I question. "Nothing" she replies as she looks away. A few seconds later I feel her head rest on my chest. We are almost at the west swamp and my arms are almost tired but I won't put her down. I don't want to lose the warmth her body provides and seeing her so in need of my help makes me feel like a better person than I am. Especially when her needs are ones I could provide. "I think I could walk now. " her tender voice inte
"Really, who is it? " Deborah questions."Oh don't worry gingerbread. It's not you" I say to Deborah and her face turns bright red.Her facial expression a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment. A true sight to see!She folds her hands in anger and stares out the window while Dana and Timothy try their very best to stifle their laughter.I still have my gaze on Deborah when Dana cut me."So who is this person? " she asks."Ekene" I reply and they both raise their brows."Is he Chinese?" Timothy asks and I exhale to avoid laughing."No. Ekene is a Nigerian. He is very smart, quiet, and observant.He proves Nigerians to be very intelligent people. " I reply."Cool, sure we can trust him? "Dana questions."I'd find out.
"Just breathe" he whispers into my ear as he drags me away from the battered body.I crash to the ground in his arms and I hold onto his shirt as I bury my face in it."I'm a monster. " I cry."They've made me a killer. I'm a killing machine. ", I cry out in pain and regret. Ever since I've got here, all I've done is change from WHO I was to WHAT I have become."You're not a killer Deborah! "Desmond scolds but I can't stop my tears. I've become a monster. I've taken another life and in yet another gruesome manner."I am... " I cry as I scream in agony.Desmonds POV;...The Fratello had left Deborah to silence me and had begun clawing my chest. Suddenly I hear someone scream and in the same second, the Fratello falls off me.I find a huge log I never knew Deborah had the strength to lift in her hand
"How dare you!?" she screams at me as soon I am before her and with that question comes a slap to my face. "Who amongst you killed a Fratello!? " she screams and all four of us fall silent. "So you were there and couldn't stop it from happening!? " she screams again throwing another slap at me. "Tell me who did it! " she screams grabbing my throat. "I did! " I hear Deborah's voice break the silence and a few gasps and murmurs are heard from the crowd. Madre turns to the crowd in anger and everyone falls silent. "You did. "Madre says turning her attention to Deborah. "Why? " she questions coldly as she stands before Deborah and Deborah falls silent. "I said why!? "Madres screams as she plants her talon nails on Deborah's throat.
I take a walk in the isolated passageway with my hands in my trouser pockets and still in Desmond's shirt. I stop at a window and stare at the moon. I recall when Jason made me believe my name was carved on the moon while I was younger.He said the moon was our little communication portal and no matter where I was if I stared at the moon and Remember him, then it means he's doing the same. So if I ever got lost, I should look up at the moon and know we'd always find our way back to each other.A bitter chuckle escapes my lips as I recall my sweet home. I bite my upper lip as I ponder on what my life has slowly played into. Desmond invades my thoughts and my sadness heightens.After what Harry did to me, how on earth could I afford to fall for someone else!? Desmond is too calm, observant, wonderful, and just too perfect to fall for someone like me.How on earth c
"Sonia! "She screams."Fine! Fine, I'd tell him! "I scream in surrender. ~yeah right, like she'd know if I don't."Sweetheart. I'm not a learner in this field. I'd know if you don't tell him and baby, I won't tell you know when I'm gonna tell him myself. "She says and my jaw drops."I give you till the end of today. "She says before walking off and leaving me on the bench. I look up and find Desmond sitting afar with his head rolled back and eyes closed.~oh, Desmond, you'd reject me if I tell you and I'd die of embarrassment if Gabby tells. That girl is crazy enough to tell you how stupid I act because of you!He suddenly brings his head down and opens his eyes. He catches me staring at him and I remain frozen for a few seconds before I quickly look away. I stand up and walk off with embarrassment chewing my cheeks.It's night and I a
"I'm in love with you Desmond" she mutters and my heart bursts. Excitement, joy, and a ton of other emotions flush through me. "C. Come again? "I question as I'm not sure I heard right. "I'm... I'm... I'm in love with you Desmond. "She repeats and I pull her into a hug. These are words I've been dying to hear but all the same, never knew I'd been. Then it hits me. ×what are you doing Desmond!? If you give into this, you could be the reason Deborah would have to lose her life! I quickly pull away from her. "I'm... I'm sorry but. I don't think we should do this. We. We can't be more than mates. " I reply as I stare into her face and instantly the light of hope in her eyes vanish. Her jaw drops and she stares at me like I just stabbed her in the stomach. "Deborah... "I make to speak as I try to grab h

It's been a year since Desmond left. I'm staring out the plane's window listening to Trust In You by Lauren Daigle. After all, life has put me through, what else can I do than trust in God.It's been a year but my heart has never grown to love Desmond less. In fact, his departure had only made me realize how less meaning my life has without him.I'm on my way to London. I finally got admission into Imperial College. I wanted to attend a small school back home but trust my father to want big.I don't think staying around more English people would do me good as each one would remind me of how my Desmond is the very best.My dad just had to go choose the 5th best university in the United Kingdoms. He says he wants me out of Canada to help me forget the mansion but that place has been sculpted so deeply into me that not even a memory loss would wipe it off.&nbs
"But he asked me to give you this. "The doctor adds holding out a folded paper to me.I collect the paper with tears in my eyes and he gives me a comforting smile before walking away.I stare at my wristwatch and it reads 11:00 am.I missed him. My last chance of seeing him and I missed it.My phone containing all his details totally crashed and not backed up! Why Sonia, why?He... Desmond is gone. Gone to his home town and I'm here in Ontario Canada Left with only hopes to see him again someday!.I open the paper and it reads;*Hey, sorry about my wobbly writing. It's been a while I held a pen.If you're reading this, then I'm on my way to the airport and you're definitely shedding those precious tears of yours.I wish I could say this to you in person but time a
"W... What? "Sonia questions."Sonia I have no choice. My mom is getting married again and wants us to move back to my hometown.She says she no longer wants to stay here cause of what happened. "Desmond explains."But... We just began a... "Sonia begins."I'm moving in a month. "Desmond states."We'd keep in touch via the phone." He tries to persuade and Sonia's face falls as she knows they both have no choice.They spend the rest of the month together to grow a stronger bond. Love is all they fell for each other and;Finally, the day came.One Month After;Sonias POV;I rush out of my house as usual. It's become a habit to rush out of my house whenever I'm on my way to the hospital to visit Desmond.
Wow!I'm so sure a lot of you hate me by now cause of what happened to our Gabby, Ekene, and Tori.And I'm sure when Desmond died you hated me even more but I hope we're all good now😅.I could never kill my Desmond. Hell no😅🙈We're nearing the end of this beautiful book💃💃💋____/|\_____/|\_____/|\_____/|\____With bandage wrapped around her head, plasters on some parts of her face, and her right feet wrapped in a bandage as she'd hurt her ankle but didn't notice. Sonia is still seen smiling.It's been a week after they'd escaped the woods and Desmond is still in bed. The Smith and Daniel families have become close. Even Tori's grandmom had grown a bond with the families during the week.Sonia and Desmond are alone in the hospital room. The sun ray beautifying the room.
Authors Narrative;Jason thinks Sonia had spent too long in the I.C.U and decides it's time to see what's going on and who this 'him' is.He opens the door just in time to see Sonia raising a pair of scissors in the air ready to stab herself."Sonia! "He screams before running into the room and wraps his arms around his little sister to hinder her movements.His scream and reaction draws everyone into the room.Dana, Timothy, Tori's grandmom, the rest of Sonia's family, and Mrs. Daniel who's just found out it's her long-lost son who's laying 'dead' in the I.C.U."Sonia what's wrong with you!?" Jason screams as he struggles to keep Sonia in place."Desmond! "Mrs. Daniel cries as she spots her son on the bed."Leave me! He can't die! If he doesn't come to me, I'd go to him
I freeze as I stare at the doctor. Is there another language where that means 'he's fine?"W.. What? What do you mean couldn't save him!? "I scream."I'm sorry dear. Too many internal injuries. He lost a lot of blood and some serious damage was caused to some of his organs due to the punctures. " the doctor states.I watch nurses begin to exit the room and I stand facing the door. I suddenly begin to hear the voices that makeup silence as I walk into the room.I suddenly understand how light could transfigure into darkness in just a blink of an eye.I suddenly understand how one second is enough to destroy years of hard work.I suddenly understand that death has always been lurking in the shadows. Awaiting the perfect time to steal life.I suddenly understand the fact that life is not defined by t
I turn around in shock only to find a young man running towards me. I stare at the man a little closer and my jaw drops. Jason!"Sonia! "He screams picking me up in his arms."J.. Jason? "I question in disbelief."It... It really is you. " I state. Tracing about his face with my fingers. He's grown a beard."You've grown a beard. "I note."And a mustache seems to be coming along. "He adds with a bitter chuckle before pulling into another hug.We remain wrapped in this hug when I hear my name again."Sonia! "I look up and find Oscar. My second eldest brother walking slowly towards us like he's seen a ghost.Jason steps aside."Sonia! "He screams hugging me and I struggle to breathe."Y.. you you'r
I stand in panic and run a few steps towards the city noise. Maybe I can get some help, but on second thought, there's no way I'm doing that. What... What if something happens to Desmond.What if... What if Mader comes back? I run back to Desmond."Desmond? Come on open your eyes. "I beg with tears as I tap his face gently.He doesn't respond and I notice he isn't breathing."D... Desmond? "I call in fear.I feel about his neck with my fingers. Not knowing exactly how to but hoping to somehow find a pulse."Desmond! "I scream when he doesn't reply."Please Desmond open your eyes! "I scream in fear. He can't leave me. Not now, not ever, I can't be this close to a better life hopefully with him and then he'd leave me. He's been my strength for the past three years. It can't all go to waste!
