Awake

Jane woke up feeling a bit more relieved. She no longer feel pains all over body, except her private area that still stings.

She smelled food, and her stomach immediately reacted. 

"You must be hungry, I prepared some food. Here have some," Mrs Whitney said as she  helped her dish the food in a plate.

Jane sat up, and took the food from her. She quickly ravished the food, she was really hungry. 

She had not eaten for two days or so, Mrs Whitney watched as the girl in front of her ate all the food in her plate.

"Do you want some more? There's more,"  Mrs Whitney said, Jane nodded shyly. Taking that as a yes, Mrs Whitney put more food in her plate. 

She ate again, after eating the food Mrs Whitney packed the plate back into the bag.

"How do you feel now dear? Do you need me to call the doctor?" Mrs Whitney asked.

"No," Jane said, then she remembered again what had happen to her. She began sobbing again.

"Please don't cry anymore, it's okay, it's okay dear."  Mrs Whitney consoled her.

"Where's Cassie?" Jane finally spoke amidst tears. 

"Who?" Mrs Whitney asked. 

"Cassie my best friend, you didn't see her? She didn't come back?" Jane asked. 

"No, I didn't come across any Cassie. I was the one who brought you here, with the help of some good folks." Mrs Whitney explained. 

"Oh no!! She must be worried sick about me. I need to go back there and find her, I need to find Cassie." Jane said trying to get up. 

"You will but, not like this. You still need to recuperate." Mrs Whitney said.

"Mrs Whitney you don't get it, I don't even have a place to stay. Cassie and I ran away from the orphanage, we planned on finding a job and getting a place." Jane began saying as she explained. 

"How are we going to survive without each other? I really need to find my friend, please help me." Jane said crying.

"I promise you, we will find Cassie okay? But first you need to be strong, you can move in with me. I stay alone, then we can find Cassie. And bring her to stay with us, alright? Mrs Whitney said.

"Really? We can stay with you?" Jane asked.

"Of course you can, now rest. I will go call the doctor, so he can check up on you" Mrs Whitney said. 

"Thank you very much for helping me, and not leaving me to die out there." Jane said holding Mrs Whitney's hand.

"You are welcome my dear." she said almost bursting into tears.

It's been two days since Chris returned to the Smith's mansion, and he has refused to come out of his room. Everyone had already heard what happened between him and Angel, and it has been the talk of the town. 

His mother had begged him to come out, and even talk to her. But Chris didn't budge, everyone was around including his beloved grandmother.

She has heard about what happened to her eldest grandchild, and she has become really worried for him. She had to fly all the way to the capital city, just to see how he was doing.

"Honey we need to find a way to bring him out of his room, I'm really worried about him." Maria said almost crying. 

"Don't worry about him, he's just sad. He will come around." Williams said. 

"I knew that girl was bad business, I warned you not tie her to my son." Williams said. 

"And I warned him not to be friends with that boy, that family are our enemies. " Williams added. 

"Will both of you quit arguing, and bring my boy out of there? " Grandma Smith spoke. 

"Mum we are trying but, he's not responding to anyone of us. We can't force him." William said.

"Actually I have a spare key to Chris's room." Grace spoke from behind with her head down. Chris will toast her once he finds out she's been sneaking into his room, to play video games. 

She had begged her parents to buy her one but, they insist she's a girl and she must only do things girls do.

"So why didn't you say so all this while?" Maria dragged her, and she snapped back to reality.

 "Where's is it?" Maria asked her.

"Here," grace place the key in her mother's hand.

Everyone followed Maria, as she was almost running towards her son's room including Kyle. Though he's younger and doesn't really know what's going on, he's still worried for his brother's safety.

He's his role model after all, Maria twisted the door knob and found the most horrible thing she has ever seen. Blood and a knife stuck in Chris's chest, Maria screamed "aaaahhhhhh."

She fell to the floor, and everyone rushed to her. William froze upon seeing his son laying lifeless, he finally found the courage to speak.

"Grace take your brother, and grandma to your room. Lock the door and don't come out, till I say so." Williams said.

"Yes dad, come on grandma and Kyle. Let's go to my room," 

Grandma didn't bother to protest, she had seen the blood. But she knows she doesn't want to see the source, even though she was worried and curious. She still can't take the blow "I just pray he's safe," she muttered silently. 

Kyle on the other didn't know what was going on, he just followed his father's instruction. And as for grace she saw it too, and she couldn't keep the tears from rolling down her cheeks. 

Even though she tried to hide it, she really loves her brother and would die if anything had happened to him.
