Chapter 11

I did not know that I would fall asleep until I woke up to heavy rain outside. My eyes were still blinking and the headset was gone until I saw my phone is now on the floor. I think maybe I kicked it from the bed while I’m sleeping. I slowly got up, left my bed to pick up my phone on the floor I saw on the phone screen and realized it almost nine pm at night.

“Shit,” murmured under my breath.

I closed the two windows from my room to stop the water coming in from the outside. I got out of my room and went down to the first floor of the mansion. I saw Darius sleeping and lying to the long coach in the living room while he has an open book on his chest and his glasses were no longer in his face. I frowned that he didn't even wake me up for dinner, the whole mansion was quiet maybe because the couple left and went to the carnival. They still didn’t come back until now because the rain had overtaken them.

I went into the kitchen and had some food left for me. There's roaster chicken, bread and corn soup. I started to eat and since I was probably hungry from sleeping I immediately finished my food. When I finished eating, I immediately washed my used plate and cleaned some dirt to the kitchen. As I came out of the kitchen right there with a knock from the door, I stopped at the kitchen door and remained staring at the main door of the mansion. I wondered who it was, was that Mrs Marcos? They don't need to knock because they have duplicate keys in the mansion. I stopped thinking when I heard again the knock from the door.

I looked at Darius who was still sleeping in the couch and dropped his book on the floor. I approached the door and slowly opened it to see who was knocking. I wondered and was slightly surprised at a man outside soaking wet. Still raining loudly outside, he smiled shyly at me and he look like a wet chick.

“Who are you?” That’s the first think I asked to him.

His paired black eyes fixed looking at me.

“Can you help me? I’m lost.” His voice was shaking but he looks fine except that his wet.

“No, I don’t know you---” I stop when I realized something and I regretted that I opened the door for him. I slowly look at the gate from the distance that still close and back looking at him again. He was still smiling at me but I could feel my fear of how he came in with our door closed. The fast of my heartbeat inside my chest but I didn't show him how I was nervous about what was happening. “No, I can’t help you, sorry.” I immediately closed the door but was surprised when he blocked his arm.

I pushed hard but he also pushed me to open the door and his good build up body size was easy for him to do this.

“Darius help me! Darius!” I’m screaming to the top my lungs just to wake him but it looks like his in deep sleep.

I slipped and fell to the floor when he finally pushed and completely opened the door. My eyes widened at him, I crawled backwards and immediately stood up the stairs. How surprised I was when he suddenly pulled my injured leg so I could lose balance and fall to the floor again. He pulled me closer to him, I could see how his sharp fangs would appear and his eyes would turn red as a monster.

‘Oh, my god!’ My mind was screaming right now.

I did everything I could to fight him, I punched him in the chest but it seemed like nothing to him until he grabbed both my hands and put them on top of my head. I was just shocked when a vase hit the man's head, it broke, some broken vase had fallen on my face and chest so I need to close my eyes just to avoid the small broken pieces that might cause the blindness from the eyes.

The man in black stopped and glared at Darius who was shocked at what had happened.

“Run Emily!” He screamed as he positions himself to prepare the attack from the man.

I’m about to run upstairs when I stop to see how the man punch Darius straight to the face. His glass shattered on his own face because of the man's fist and he collapsed immediately to the floor.

I feel shiver down my spine, my heart is beating so fast inside my chest and I could feel the cold sweat all over my body. I ran before the man could get me and I stop when I heard a loud bang. My eyes widened and my body is still shaking how Mrs Marcos fiercely while holding a shot gun. The black man was lying down, he had shot from forehead and now dead. I fell to the floor sitting. I was still staring at the newly arrived couple still wet with heavy rains from the outside.

It was late at night, and it was still dark and heavy rains continued. We had to take Darius to the hospital that night because he was still unconscious, his nose was still bleeding and he had a bruise on his left eye.

When we arrived at the hospital they immediately call a nurse and doctor to examine him while we’re waiting for Darius to get the initial treatment. I felt numb, I hugged myself and my whole body was still shaking from what had happened earlier. Ever since I came back to the province, events that I could not explain and I could not believe. I saw Mrs. Marcos looking at me while sitting to the other side of the hall.

“You should treat your wound in your face,” she said.

“We need to talk.”

“We will talk, tomorrow.” I didn’t see any emotion from her face and also to her husband.

I've done nothing but I retreat myself to the nurse to treat me and now I just feel the pain I have on my face because of a broken vase.
