“Pregnant?” Damien and Camille both chorused in unison, smiles perking up at the corner of their lips. It was the least expected news, but it was the best one Damien heard in a while. He had always imagined I would be like an expecting father since his first marriage. But had practically forgotten about that when his first wife died. Or maybe the trauma of his first loss caused them to bury his dream alongside his once favourite memories. Now he felt warmth in his heart, like that of someone who had been brought back to life. He was grateful nothing more terrible happened to Aria. What would have happened if he did not pass by that road? It was too terrible to think of.“Yes,” the doctor affirmed.“Thankfully she's out of harm's way, but would need to show up at the hospital for a proper check-up,” the doctor added, packing up his things back in the box. “Why's she not waking up then?” Damien asked, still a little worried about her condition.“She will be in a few hours, you need n
“What do you mean by you've not found her yet? It's been 24 hours since I filed a report yet you have not found anything? What exactly have you guys been doing since then?” “That is exactly what I've been trying to explain to you. It's just been 24 hours since the report was made, meaning that we've also started searching. Kindly be patient and let us do our job, I'm positive that your wife will be found very soon…”“Of course she will, whether or not you are positive. I don't want to have to return here only to hear no news of her,” Gerald pointed out strictly to the police officer.He desperately tried to hide the fear he was feeling about the fact that Ellie was missing. She could have at least called or tried to pass him a message about what she was up to, but there was nothing. When Gerald returned home and found out about Ellie, he felt his head running around in circles. They had both clearly been warned against her travelling, or even stepping out of the house…more so she did
Ellie stared at the ceiling for a few seconds as soon as she blinked awake. The last thing she remembered was getting carried by someone. She sat up slowly on the bed and scratched the back of her neck, further sighing. “Who's house is this?” She asked no one in particular and glanced around the room with her eyes traveling to and fro. Ellie I also remembered hearing voices in her sleep, voices which belonged to the owners of the house she supposed. She let out a loud yawn from our throats and stretched before standing up from the bed with another stretch. As if that made her remember she was pregnant, Ellie quickly placed her hands over her stomach, when she could still feel the bump, let out a sigh of relief. Ellie found it post it note by the side of the bed, which read,“Hi lovely, I'm stepping out for a couple of minutes or so, will probably be back before you are awake, but if you are already reading this, it means I stayed later than I expected, lol. Will be there soon, don'
That morning carried the kind of weight of laziness that weighed down upon a man’s soul. The kind of whether that made a man just want to sleep for a very long time. Terry olled up on every side of the bed in a weird kind of fatigue he couldn’t quite understand. “I need to get up,” he mumbled into the silky pillow he had his face buried into and before he knew it, he’d slept for another 20 minutes. He shot his eyes open upon realizing how unproductive his day was looking. “I need to get up,” he convinced himself again and this time, he felt his bones harnessing the power of his words. The laziness was beginning to dry up and it made him feel a childlike kind of powerful. He was still planning his day while he laid sprawled on the bed looking lifeless when he caught sight of one of his gym gloves. The thought of the numerous routines he had to do attempted to make him weak again but he groaned himself up and made a weird arch with his stretch. He shoveled himself into the bathroom, b
Aria sat down on the bare floor of the dungeon she had found herself in without any explanation from anyone. One moment she had been with Camille, the next minute, a maid had come for her, then another minute later, she was being rounded up by some of the werewolves men that seemed to be stronger than she was by a whole lot. Before she could comprehend what was going on, she had been bundled with some ropes and dumped into the dungeon, and left there to herself. Not a single soul had stayed behind to guard her, so she couldn't ask what her offense was.She tugged at the end of the rope tying her upper body together to see if she could dislodge the rope but she didn't have any luck with it. It had been tied to firmly secured in place for her to untie. When she saw that she had failed to set herself free, she crawled to the bar of the dungeon and tried to see if she could get anyone. She pressed her cheek to the little iron bar barricading her from leaving and she let out a little whimpe
A skinny man who looked to be in his early thirties sat over a table and hit his skinny legs on the floor board by the foot of the table. He was wearing a white baggy shirt that had “Yawed Oat” on it. The floor board flew up and he caught it ever so swiftly before it could make contact with the floor and make a cacophony. He didn't want anyone to know what he was doing. He took out three more floor boards in the same manner and what was once an array of floorboards was now a dark gaping hole that threatened to swallow anyone that attempted to trespass it. He looked through the three windows of the room and when he saw that no one was around the vicinity, he folded the sleeves of his shirt. He jumped into the space where the floor boards were once taking up. Landing swiftly on a cemented floor and instead of the eerie silence that was heard above, the anguished cries of a child reached his ears. He groaned with a huge frown on his bony face, why was she still crying? Didn't she fall
Aria sat in her room, she wanted to stand but her feet felt wobbly.Her heart was still beating from when she saw Ellie, it had been too long since she saw her, Ellie still had that cynical look in her eyes, even when she was supposed to be scared, Ellie was always the stronger one of them and the smarter one too, she was the failure among them, the rotten egg.She remembered how easy it was for Ellie to believe that she was evil, how quick her family changed.“They were never really there” Aria said aloud, their contempt for her had always been there.Her father had always blamed her for her mother’s death, silently with his dismissal and lack of interest in her, Ellie had never truly been there for her, Ellie only saw her as competition, someone to make herself feel better. Her marriage to Gerald had been the icing on the cake. It felt like they finally had an excuse, they finally found something wrong with her a reason to cast her out.Sometimes she wondered how her life would be i
Damien was exhausted from it all. The phone calls, signing endless documents, and responding to emails. He was so exhausted and the only thing he knew he wanted to do was to have a nice and long sleep. Ther wasn't sny more thing he wanted more badly that that at that point."You look stressed sir," his assistant noted before dropping the document on his table. He didn't need to be told that he looked stressed, he knew it well. "I am stressed, Susan. Please hold off any documents and call until tomorrow," he rose from his seat and pleaded for her to inform the driver of his potential departure. She nodded and bided him goodbye for the day before leaving the office. Damien gave weak smiles on his way to the car to the hotel staff who for some reason in the world threw him fake smiles on his way to the vehicle. He knew what they were all saying about him and his family. Behind all the smiles, he knew the stories they've managed to weave in his case."Do you have anywhere particular in
