Chapter 27
~ Lucy’s POV ~
After a while, Lydia left my room and shut the door after her. I lay on the little bed in the corner of the room which was really uncomfortable.
“This nightmare should come to an end already so I could be free from this and be with my family. Finally, my wish to have a family again after grandpa’s death came true, and now this…” I thought to myself as I slept off
Zzzzz
“Get up sweetheart” I heard a voice say as I shut my eyes open and found Greeta standing in front of me with two men beside her.
A smile escaped my lips as I looked at her standing right there in front of me and smiling back at me
“Is it time for my death already?” I asked her smiling at her as I sat up on the bed
She held my jaw with her right hand which was really painful.
“You talk too much you know, I kinda like you,” She said to me
“Runs in the family” I replied
“Not yet, sweetheart, I’m not gonna kill you now. You still have work to do” She said as let go of my jaw smiling devilishly at me
“Bring her,” She said to the two men who came in with her
They both grabbed me on each arm as they carried me out of the room. I struggled to break free from their grip even though I knew it was a mission impossible. They were way bigger than me, there was no possible way I could fight them. I didn’t know where they were taking me to. I was really scared, what gave me hope was the fact that Greeta said she won’t kill me now. What bothered me was what work she said I had to do for her. I kept struggling till we got to a room that was closed.
She stood there for a while before she opened the door and entered…
“Bring her in,” She said to them
“No, let me go” I screamed as they dragged me into the room
Entering the room, it was a dark room decorated with candles. In the middle of the room was a very big circle decorated with candles too. Just then it hit me,
“This was what she was preparing. But what it is for, I can’t tell, one thing I know, is that it cannot be a good one” I thought to myself
“What is all this for?” I asked Greeta but then she looked at me and smiled devilishly.
“You talk too much, just watch, you will understand,” she said to me
“Let her go now,” She said to the men as they both let go of me
“Why did you bring me here?” I asked
“You ask too many questions which are not good for your safety, y,” She said as she began to chant a spell. It looked like black magic.
I looked around and found everything in the house very creepy. I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do. I just wish Rhea could reach out to me right now.
Suddenly, I blacked out. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dark room. I tried calling out for help but it seems as if I was there alone. I couldn’t help but cry.
~ Karen’s POV ~
Waking up in the morning, I felt Derrick’s arms wrap around my waist and I could feel his heavy breath on my neck. I tried to stand up but couldn’t break free from his grip.
“Hey, good morning” I greeted
“Hmm, it is not yet morning” He murmured
“It is,” I replied
“Let me go check on the kids,” I said to him
“Stay a little while, please,” he said
“I will be back, let me check on Rhea and Jaden to see if they are both okay,” I said to him
“They should be. They are okay, ” he replied as he held on to me
“Just a minute,” I said as I used a spell to break free from his gripContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“That’s cheating, come back to bed,” He said
“I will be back,” I said as I blew him a kiss in the air and left the room
Getting to Jaden’s room, I couldn’t find him. I thought to myself that he might be in Rhea’s room. So I went straight to Rhea’s room. Reaching Rhea’s room, I entered her room and found her still on her bed with no sign of Jaden. I wanted to let her be but the look on her face shows that she is in distress.
“Rhea! Rhea!!” I called out but got no response from her
I went closer to check on her if she was really distressed. I got closer to her and found out that she was really sweating and struggling on her bed. I tried to wake her up but couldn’t. I called out her name several times but got no response.
I immediately went back to the room calling out Derrick’s name, who came running toward me
“What’s going on, why are shouting like this?” He asked trying to calm me down
“It’s… It’s Rhea” I stammered
“What happened to Rhea?” He asked
“She’s not waking up,” I said as we both rushed down to Rhea’s room.
Derrick tried to wake her up but he didn’t succeed. Then came Willow as he barged into the room.
“We have a situation,” He said
“What situation could be worse than my daughter lying down here unable to stand up,” Derrick asked
“It’s Jaden” Willow said
“What happened to Jaden?” I asked
“I don’t know but he is not waking up,” Willow said
“No, this can’t be happening right now,” I said as we all left Rhea and ran to Jaden’s room
“He is not there,” Willow said
“Then where is he?” Derrick asked
“In my room” Willow replied as they all went straight to Willow’s room and found Jaden Lying on the bed.
They tried everything possible to wake him up but to no avail.
“Oh no, this can’t be happening right now,” I said
“What the hell is going on?” Derrick asked
