The sun was gradually rising from the east, kissing stones at the beach with water rushing forth to minimize the heat from the sun.
Birds were awake, singing melodiously from the tree tops making it impossible for anyone to remain asleep.
Their was a tree very close to Brenda's window, well she actually enjoying hearing the birds sing at the early hours of the morning, that alone gave her hope of a better future and help subside her raging heart and of course her daily coldness towards school.
Melanie found herself rolling from one side of the bed to the other, the bed was quite small and she felt so uncomfortable on it.
She froze for a moment with her body straight and upward, slowly she opened her eyes blinking them with so much difficulty, they were all swollen due to her unstoppable crying all through the night.
Stretching and yawning have become a normal routine for her everyone morning, she sat up on the small bed, stretching her slim body wh
Brenda turned to the door, she knew it must be her father, though she didn't like him at all but for the first time in a long time she was glad that he showed up at her door cause she was getting horribly sad which each second her mother gazed at her like she was a complete stranger.She quickly moved over to the door and unlocked it, Charles stepped in looking down at her with a handsome smile "you look all dressed up already."Brenda nodded slightly, she took a glance at her mother hoping her father could do something about her confused state, Charles followed her gaze and sighed at the sight of Melanie, she truly looked so lost.He walked straight to her and took a deep breath."Who are you?" Melanie asked looking a little scared."Oh please Melanie, don't just start this morning, I am your husband, she is your daughter" he said pointing at Brenda who stood close to the door staring at her parents "you actually don't remember whatsoever that hap
Joshua stood there longer, his thoughts getting drained with how miserable his life have become after the disappearance of his wife Diana and the worse of all is finally finding her only living under the roof of a human whom she birthed two children for.He gritted his teeth in anger and looked away running his hands through his forehead, he could still recall how he had killed her son, it hurted him that he had to inflict such pain to an innocent child who knows nothing but he just couldn't control his anger, he shook his head in aggression peering at nothing in particular as he slowly turned his back away from the mansion and sat on a tree branch that had fallen few days back.Joshua took a deep breath, all he could ever think about was Diana, she has been the one on his mind ever since he set his eyes on her, his mother had advised him to forget about her and get married to Carmella but Terry was in love with this very woman and he wasn't, he bit on his lower lips a
Carmella was sitting gently in front of her mirror combing her hair, all night she have been drained in thoughts on how to get rid of Diana permanently and have Joshua all to herself, she knew very well that so far as Diana was still breathing, Joshua would never think of marrying her or anyone else in the clan, she blinked her eyes severally "damn Diana, she should have just died the first time" she muttered sadly standing on her feet.Her door slowly creaked open, she turned around and gasped at the sight of her mother "I thought you left already?" She looked suprised."I almost did but Joshua is here to see you" she informed.Carmella's eyes grew wide "really? Did he tell you why he wanted to see me?" She asked feeling very nervous.Zara shook her head "you possibly do not expect me to ask him that, do you?"Carmella was lost in her own thoughts for a while, she finally swallowed hard blinking her eyes severally "it's fine mother, whatever
She could feel the wind brushing across her face while she ran, her whole body engaged in the thoughts of wanting to get away from everyone around her, the feeling of being deserted and unwanted consuming her badly.Her tears gradually sprinkling off her face as the wind encouraged her speed, she wasn't willing to stop, she just wanted to keep going until she couldn't see the shadows of her fear lurking behind her, the fear of Diana returning, the fear of watching Joshua love, kiss and build a family with her."He is all I have ever wanted, he is all I want" she cried out with her heart feeling like it have being pierced by a thousand spears, she fell on the rocky ground, covered with enough sand too to shield her skin burying her self amongst them all is wept like a child.She was at a Lea, alone just like she wanted, away from everyone including Terry who had tried to console her though he didn't understand what he was consoling her for, all he knew that
The woman smiled at her, her eyes looked blue and bright "should I? You are the one trespassing, you should be the one staring away from me young lady" she said walking closer.Carmella knew she was in trouble, now she understood why wolves were forbidden from coming to that part of the woods, she wondered how many more strange beings resided there, she took a quick glance around, the woman followed the look in her eyes and scoffed."It's just me, stop acting like a weirdo" the woman said walking past her.Carmella moved further away getting ready to defend herself if the woman dares to attack her but before she could say another word, the woman grabbed her by the neck and pushed her straight to a tree pinning her tight on it while she sniffed around her with a cruel smirk at the end of her lips "I sense hate, revenge and love... I love that..." she smiled at Carmella letting go off her.Carmella coughed loudly as she almost choked life out of her "
Terry was getting very nervous as he followed Carmella's sent, searching for her in the woods, it was getting dark and he got more uncomfortable as time swept by.He had been walking for hours, calling out to Carmella who seemed to have varnished into thin air which he found really strange, his legs were aching from a long walk, he finally stopped when he got to the boundary to the forbidden part of the woods, he took a glance behind and swallowed hard, he could swear that Carmella must have gone that way cause her sent was strongly leading him that way, he shook that thought off his head "that's totally impossible, she would never go against the rules of the clan" he thought aloud feeling even more confused.But he was very much concerned about her, she left in a bad state and he was afraid that she might end up hurting herself but he still couldn't help but wonder what happened inside the house that must have broken Carmella that way "he must have done something to h
Joshua arrived home with Terry, they both looked completely exhausted, Terry's legs were aching even more, he wondered if they were both wounded.He sluggishly moved over to a wooden stool and sat quietly without saying a word to Joshua who had the ends of his eyes steady on him, he was still skeptical about Terry's response that he was okay, he would still sense a weakness in his behavior towards him and wondered what was going on but asking him such question at that point felt very wrong since they were both tired and hungry.Joshua staggered a bit and finally sat on a rocking chair stretching both of his legs, he took a deep breath and shut his eyes, the clouds were even getting darker and a fire needed to be lighted, he opened his eyes and rubbed his hands across his face while calling out to the servants at home, two of them arrived at home greeting with so much warmth in between their voice "you called my lord" they bowed with so much humility.
At this point Terry wished he could stand up and scream at him, he wondered if he was the one to ask such question after what he saw today, he felt even more terrible now and wished he could attack Joshua with both his words and his fist and make him feel the pain he was feeling deep within at that point, Joshua noticed the grave frown on his face with his eyes suddenly looking bloodshot "you're angry..." he cried out looking even more shocked.Terry looked away biting on his lower lip "I have fine my lord" he answered in a cold tone swallowing a thousand anger down his throat, he could feel his heart burning and the fear of it consuming him was eating even more deeper into his soul.Joshua nodded, he looked away and felt bad for pressing harder when he knew that a hungry man is an angry man, he watched as the servants lit fire on the woods, the fire burnt slowly, he cleared his throat "where is my mother? Tell her that I am home and we are hungry" he informed.
