The footsteps got closer and the ladies stopped talking and tried to listen, trying to stay invisible in the darkness if possible. The smell came first before the presence of their kidnappers, they smell like the cell and much more worse, Rogues! One of them brought out a set of keys and opened the cell door.“Just one of them, boss will be interrogating them after the other” One of the kidnappers said“Of course, I know, do you think I’m dumb?” The other ask with a snarl“Stop snarling at me fool, you stink” The first one said“Shut up will you, and get one of them” The stinky one saidThe first opened the door, and used his hand to search for the ladies “Put on the light now will you”Stinky put on a torch, it must be from his phone and the ladies she
Joan cleaned her mouth once again, she knew what was coming if she does not answer him, her head was still ringing from the previous hit.“Am not, none of us are elite wolf, the elite wolf are few and they are not dumb as like we are to walk unprotected” She said and prayed her voice sounded strong and convincing.He studied her for some time, Rod came walking in, the boss signaled to him and he went to pull Joan up by her hair “Take her to the room and make her talk” The boss said“Yes boss” Rod said“I just told you the truth, nothing more is to be told, you need to believe me” She yelled “Damn you all” Rod started dragging her away “Please, don’t harm me, please” She cried after Rod as he pulled her away by her hair.“God, what do you think they are doi
Ellie couldn’t be more grateful to her trusted mother and friends, she watch them going about the kitchen working, trying to get things ready for those traveling and going for the search, Dora raised her head and saw Ellie at the door, that hot her mother and Andy's attention as they all turned to her. She saw the disapproving look on her mother as Mrs Black went round the kitchen counter to meet Ellie at the door. “What are you doing up?” Mrs Black asked with a frown at Ellie “I….” She trailed off “You need your sleep, cause you won’t be getting much during the search” Mrs Black said “I am not going” Ellie informed thank and Dora dropped a spoon back on the counter, she walked to stand beside Mrs Black “What do you mean you are not going? A are you going to leave the ladies in the hands of their kidnappers? And Loris?” Dora asked in confusion and denial. “Calm down Dora and let her talk” Andy told Dora from where she was standing “Go ahead then” Dora motioned to Ellie to speak
Hattie spoke some more with Lilly over the phone, and Ellie just held herself back from collecting the phone and asking Hattie questions, she knew that the other lady will not appreciate that. And from the way Hattie was speaking, they were all fine and might not have gotten a clue to lead them to the ladies.“Can I talk to my Daddy?” Lilly asked Hattie“He is busy now Lilly”“Pretty please?” Lilly pouted holding the phone tightly“Lilly..”“Please”“Fine, but only if he is totally free okay?” Hattie saidThere was silence on the phone for some time, Ellie held her breath and finally released it when she heard his voice.“Lilly dear old lady” His voice was light“I’m not old,
Finally, Hattie was able to break through the barrier, she turned to Emmett and nodded that she had been able to break through, she motioned for them all to gather around which they did in no time.“It will be dangerous from here on, I sense traps and magical hindrance from this path, you all need to be careful and watch where you step on, it is very important” Hattie said looking at them all “The most important magic potion I’m smelling in the air is hatred and conflict, the wrong step or decision can turn us against each other and we will do their work for them”“What? How?” Paula askedHattie took her precious time to answer “We can end up killing ourselves before we get to their main hideout”Everyone looked at themselves and said nothing, Ezra nodded “What else do we need to know?” He aske
Ellie followed her father and they walked out of the building to the garden, the silence was peaceful and Ellie found comfort in her father's presence. They got to the place where there was chairs and tables under the shed, they both stood behind a chair.“Have your seat child” Mr Black said pointing to her seat“Aren’t you sleepy dad?” Ellie asked feeling wide awake herselfHer father said nothing just studied her for some times, he had his seat knowing she would do the same, Ellie had no choice but to have her seat, she picked at her nails, under the bright light. It looked as if it was still day time. No one said a word for some time, they both sat down.Ellie looked up at her father who was already looking at her, she smiled at him and he didn’t smile back nor frown, his face was neutral and set in his permanent expression.&n
It took some time for it to register in Joan’s head so she only had a few seconds to jump to her feet.“He is not taking me anywhere!” Shouted Joan, jumping on her feet but Yales was quick to hold her down, she trashed in his hands, her gown not making it easy for her to break free from him. He used the white veil to choke her throat.“Let her go!” Loris cried standing up but she felt dizzy so she had to sit back on her chair, her eyes suddenly felt heavy as she tries to keep it open.Joan was finding it hard to breath from the tight clothes round her neck, she was losing herself when the tight clothes was finally pulled off her neck and she sucked in air, lot of it that she started coughing, she held her neck which still hurt. She did not even look up at her attacker, she had to keep her breathing balanced first before she can display her madness for them, if the
Joan fell back on her seat, powerless and drained, she glared at the boss wishing there was something she could do to harm him, at first she thought he was a good but messed up individual but apparently he is not, he is just cruel, and bad and she pitied him. He could have been a good friend or a leader if he was not that messed up.“I hate you, you are not worth loving” Joan told the boss“I said that is enough Joan” Loris told her friend who was breathing heavily, she was past annoyed at this stage and the boss was past angry“You have no right to judge me, you had everything given to you when you demanded for it, you never had to struggle to get what you wanted, but people like us are hopeless, cast away because of the sins of our parents, do we really had to been at the receiving end of this?” The boss asked“No,
