He checked the number on every ward he passed; he stopped when the one he came across had the number 5 boldly written on it. He peeped through the glass frame on the door; his dad was lying there with the oxygen mask on his nose.He couldn’t explain how he felt but he knew that something heavy dropped from his heart. His eyes watered and he proceeded to walk into the ward, closing the door gently as he entered, so he wouldn’t wake his dad.He went around the bed and finally stood by the bed post close to the heart monitor and he sat on the bed“Dad” Dylan mouthed as he traced his dad’s fingers with his, he started to sob silently. He didn’t know why he was crying so much, but it had something to do with the fear that he almost lost his dad and might still lose him if he doesn’t open his eyes.“You’re a strong one, aren’t you?” he chucked softly, the only thing he could hear were the beeping sounds of the heart monitor and his dad breathing, He rubbed his eyes with his palms and
Wouldn’t you do worse if it was your family? Won’t you burn the world for them if anyone tried to hurt them or worse, eventually does” she added Nimueh continued putting words in her head, getting her riled up and pushing every last of emotional weakness she could sense in her. “I would do anything for my family…. I only want this good life because of them anyways. My mom, my dad and my siblings…. Deserve much better and I would get that for them” Sophie seemed determined, Nimueh’s influence and words worked perfectly.She had her right where she wanted her and that was a phase one win for her.“What do you want me to do?” Sophie added“It’s simple darling…. I need you to lend me your powers so I can finish off the man who took everything from me and then will my retribution be fully sorted” “And how the hell am I supposed to do that? I didn’t even want the powers to begin with let alone even know how to use it” “That is a very simple thing to do…..i just need to be assured
I don’t know….to be honest I have no excuse for my actions and I cannot even blame the devil for it even if I could. I am just sorry Dylan please” Shannon begged, tears prickled down her face“It kills me to know that you look at me with spite and you would never call me mom again” she added with so much pain in her voice.“if you had a good explanation for your actions then maybe I would have considered your apology and forgive you for the emptiness you put in my heart…but one thing you’ve refused to accept now is that I have lived without you and I have gotten used to it” Dylan replied, He looked back at her and she was already fast asleep, he placed her head on his shoulder for support. “I wish I could call you what you want again, but this is the last time I would ever call you that again.”“Mom”*************************Bernard leaned by a desk in his office as he sipped coffee from his favorite mug, “Dad of the year” was boldly printed on it. It was presented to him as
Lucas had been having a few episodes for the past few days, he had been reliving the torment he faced when he was still in the captivity of Bernard.Sometimes the episodes he was having seemed pretty real, he would sleepwalk or wake up with bruises or even pain in a specific area. He didn’t want to tell Roman about it at first but Roman knew whenever something was wrong with his best friend.Roman told him that it was all in his head and needed to stop thinking about it, but was it that easy to forget? Lucas never had a taste of the sweet living life had to offer.He was always in pain. Rejected and left alone by his own mother, treated wrongly by his father and was eventually captured by a man who’s heart seemed to have turned against humanity.Aside from his powers and roman, he had nothing to live for. The only thing he thought worthy of living for was his revenge.He left the house and decided to take a stroll down into town, it could be overwhelming hiding and living in isol
“why are you even defending him, I mean come on this son of a bitch tried to kill you” Roman sprung up from the couch angrily“I’m defending him because he saved me Roman, Henry wasn’t the one who tried to gut me it was some creature that could possibly shape shift” Harley sprung up to, Roman turned back to look at her“A shape shifter, in black hills?” Roman arched a brow “Yes Roman! There is a new threat in black hills and this one is stronger and better and way trickier” Harley explained and Roman turned completely to face her“what did it look like?” Roman asked in a serious tone when he figured that Harley wasn’t joking around “It had a wide mouth with multiple teethes, its eyeballs were completely white and it felt like it was staring right into my soul…. It looked almost skeleton ” She explained in further details and Roman couldn’t even process what he was hearing“Henry saved me when it tried to gut me; he was the one attacking it. I just froze like a freaking dumbas
Dylan left the hospital so he could go home and freshen up, maybe even better and cleaner clothes. He didn’t want to leave the hospital till he was sure that his dad got everything urgent that he needed and he was responding properly to treatment.In which thank God that he was, so he could go home and even have a proper meal since two days. He came back to the hospital with clean clothes for his dad, he would have brought food but the hospital already got that covered. Except for coffee, though they have that covered too but regardless he knows his dad prefer a particular coffee shop’s drink to anyone elseMaybe the one he makes at home too could be an exemption, but anyways the doctor said caffeine wasn’t even advisable for intake.Dylan stood in front of the door of his dad’s ward and peeped in to see if he was awake, even though it was visiting hours he still didn’t want to wake him if he was asleep.But Sheriff Hardin wasn’t asleep, He was sitting upright on the bed and sipping
Harley already knew the perfect way to cajole Grey into helping her find Bernard, or well lead her to him. But she keeps forgetting that he is her father and he wouldn’t just let her run off like that to face someone as dangerous as Bernard. Like she had told Roman a few days back, Grey had been hiding himself in his mini office doing only God knows what. What Harley knew for sure was that guilt was terribly eating him alive. He had lost practically everything, his wife doesn’t trust him anymore so does Harley and he’s been threatened by the man who caused the whole chaos in the first place. Someone who could do a lot of damage than Harley’s little mind could ever imagine. She brewed two cups of coffee and placed them gently as she walked up the stairs to see her dad. She paused by the door and inhaled deeply, before giving herself a little reassurance nod then placing a knock on the door. “I don’t want to see anyone please go away” Grey responded with a hoarse voice from inside “
Sheriff Hardin was discharged from the hospital, Dylan was checking on Henry whenever he came to check his dad but Henry was always fast asleep due to the drugs he was given Nurses so they couldn’t have a conversation.But Dylan had planned to go to his ward after he helped his dad checkout of the hospital, “I want to quickly check on Henry dad…I’ll be back.” He was about to leave when his dad held his hand“He’s here? Was he hurt too” Sheriff Hardin whispered to Dylan, he figured he couldn’t be talking loudly now since the person they were talking about wasn’t exactly fully human.“yeah he was, he was admitted the same day you were” Dylan replied, Sheriff Hardin raised his head up by the counter to look at the nurse who seemed too busy enough to even eavesdrop on their conversation but Sheriff Hardin wasn’t ready to take any chances“Come…” He pulled Dylan gently by the arm away from the counter and towards the waiting bench“what’s the problem dad?” Dylan arched a brow“why don’t we
