"Yes, way. Welcome to my favorite place in the mansion. " Tori says placing her hands on my shoulders. I watch her walk past me into the l room and the others walk in too.
Wow. This room is full of all sorts of musical instruments. From guitars to pianos, to drums (local & modern), to clarinets and flutes, and so much more. They are so much I can't keep count and I even see some instruments I've never seen before.
Everyone moves to an instrument. Tori goes for a guitar, Rachel moves to a huge harp that's not too far from Tori, and Gabby moves to a piano. Then it hits me. ~ I f*cking don't know how to play a single instrument!!
Tori flags me over with her hand and I take a sit between all three of them.
"What instrument do you play? " Rachel asks."None.. I've always had a thing for guitars but I never got the chance to learn to play it," I reply honestly and a bit embarrassed.
"Ooh. " Tori
I turn and see Desmond standing beside me."What's wrong? " he questions."N. Nothing. " I reply."Why did you ask? " I question."Deborah there are tears in your eyes," he notes and I quickly wipe them off."O.. Oh... It. Its nothing. Something got in my eye. " I lie. ~don't blame me. I can't involve Desmond In this. It involves Gabby and I don't think she'd like me dragging Desmond into it.I look up at him and find him staring at me. I look away but I can still strongly feel his gaze on me. "Come," he says as he takes hold of my wrist."Where to? " I question."You'll see," he says and I begin to feel uncomfortable. I don't like being left in the dark. Literally or metaphorically.I keep walking behind him. My wrist wrapped in his warm fist."Did the leaves work? " he suddenly asks as we descend a fleet of stairs. ~Now that I think of it, they did work!."Y. Yes... They. They did. " I r
"W... What's wrong?" I question in worry."Nothing," he replies with a low voice and a pure smile."Seems you're already getting used to the water," he comments."Maybe" I reply and I decide to dare myself by bending fully under the water. I raise my head back up and I choke on water."Deborah!? " he questions as he swims towards me. He begins to rub his palm harshly against my back and soon my windpipes are clear."Thank you." I appreciate."Looks like you still have a lot to learn," he notes."Lucky for you, I'm a fast learner. " I reply with a smirk. I hear an odd sound and I look up only to find a huge creature flying towards to lake. I scream in fear and wrap my arms around Desmond."Relax. It's just a bird," he informs once the creature passes. I look up and my gaze gets tied to his. I try to move my hands off him but for some reason, I don't want to break this eye contact. I only succeed in placing my hands on his
We finally reach the mansion and my dripping clothes and hair begin to draw attention. Desmond walks with me till I get to the hall where everyone is meant to be."See you later," he says as he walks away. I stare at his back as he walks away from the hall. There's something different about Desmond. Although he seems so distant and all, I feel there's actually a badly broken soul beneath his tough appearance. I guess I judged him a bit too soon. He does have a human in him.I walk into the hall and find Tori, Gabby, and Rachel sitting together on a bench."Hey, guys. " I greet them as I approach them."Sonia! What happened to you? " Gabby asks in worry rising to her feet once she sees my drenched clothes."Apparently she and Desmond took a little trip to who knows where! " Rachel replies to Gabby's question whilst shooting angered stares at me. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she's jealous. ~does she like Desmond!?"Really?? " Gabby ask
I open my eyes with force and fear. I realize it's just another nightmare. What sort of a nightmare was that!?. Is Desmond going to die because of me?? Is he okay now? ~looks like I'm going to find a way to avoid sleep as it always brings me, terror.I am still thinking when I role in my bed. I see Gabby's bed empty and a figure just stepping out of the hall. I look over at Tori and Rachel who are still snug in their beds. Should I wake them up? No... I don't have that much time. I might lose Gabby.I hop out of bed and into my slippers. I then head for the door. Once out, I see Gabby take a turn at a corner and I follow her as quietly as possible. Making sure to give a safe space between us.This walk keeps getting long and scary as we occasionally pass through poorly lit paths. ~I've never been to this part of the mansion. Where is she going!?She keeps heading downstairs, corners, turns and a bunc
Before us is Gabby pinned to a wall by a Fratello. Standing on her toes and crying In clear pain and despair with her up dress up thighs and her panties down. The Fratello on the other hand, has its hand between her legs, making violent up and down movements, with its tongue on her neck.Anger boils in me as I remember the Fratello that tried to take advantage of me. ~so this is what Gabby is going through! She is an assault victim and that too a victim of this hideous creature!I make to March towards them when Desmond takes a hold of my wrist. I make to talk but he quickly pulls his hands up to his lips. The Fratello raises its head as it's heard the noise I made and Desmond pulls me back into the corner before it finds us."What are you doing!? " I ask Desmond in annoyance once I'm sure we are far enough from the Fratello and Gabby."I could ask you the same," he replies."I want to go stop that thing! " I reply."Yeah, cause your wonder
I get to my bed and lay in it. My mind drifts off to the first time that Fratello touched me. How scared I felt and horrible the experience was. Then my mind goes to my second encounter with it. The one Desmond saved me from.I cried so much after that and the Fratello was only attempting to touch me. Then imagine what Gabby is currently going through. It's threatened her as that Fratello did the same to me.I keep rolling in bed trying to figure out a way to save Gabby. I feel my eyes become teary as I flashback to the pain embroidered on Gabbys face when that Fratello was touching her.I sit up and draw my knees up to my chest with my hands on them as tears begin to escape my eyes. ~why am I crying so much!? I've always been a soft person but to cry this much for someone else, is something I'd call out of line for me if I still had a normal life."Girl, are you okay? " I hear Toris voice ask. Her voice still husky from sleep."No," I confes
"There was once a teenage girl. Pretty much about our age. She was cute, funny, caring, loving, kind-hearted... And a gem in short. She used to be timid but her life all of a sudden took a nasty turn. A turn that needed to awaken the voice in her. Else the consequences would be deadly. She was being molested by her elder stepbrother. " I begin to narrate. Creating the story there on the spot. "Mmmm. Now that's interesting!" Rachel inputs and I roll my eyes. I look up at Rachel and she understands what I'm trying to do hence she smirks at me and I smile back. "She hated the fact that she was being used. He saw her as his toy and he kept harassing her and she felt helpless. He was a cultist and she knew that. She also knew she wasn't the first girl he was harassing. She knew her mother could save her but she wasn't brave enough to tell cause her brother had threate
Desmonds POV;...I look up only to find the one person that's been replaying in my f*cking mind all morning running towards me. Deborah. I stand up as she approaches me panting..."I have great news! " she says"Which is? " I ask in confusion."I finally got Gabby to open up! " she says excitedly."Really!? " I question in surprise × seriously though, how did she do it? I want to commend her when I recall my new resolution and she fu*king disobeyed me!"Yeah," she replies with a beautiful smile."Why are you so stubborn Deborah!? I clearly warned you not to do anything! "I shout."I wasn't planning on doing anything till that last-minute idea came to mind and it worked! " she replies."I don't give a hoot if it is a last or first-minute idea! You freaking disobeyed me and that's all I think I need to see to know that you're just a selfish, and impatient person! " I yell in her face."What!? You know, when I

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!
