Steve's POV
I woke up the next morning to get ready for school. I proceeded to take my bath. As the water drizzled down, different thoughts drowned my mind. The nightmares had reduced since the movie night. That was the last time I had that dream and I am grateful.
Then, Melanie, a lot happened to her yesterday and it was to be topped by her inability to speak. I don't know how she will cope till she's finally able to speak. I stepped out of the bathroom, dressed up fully for school and left my room.
"Good morning" I greeted as I sat down at the dining table. It seems I got dressed a little bit late 'cause every other member of the family was present, even Daisy, the youngest.
"Good morning son." Mom answered. I glanced at Melanie and she mouthed a "good morning" but to me it seems as if she said it clearly.
"Can you speak now?" I asked but she shook her head negatively. Probably it's my illusion.
Melanie's POVIt's been a week now since that incident but thankfully with serious sessions, I've been able to get my voice back. The doctor told me it came back quickly because the case isn't that serious. I missed school as well but thanks to my two best friends, I could cover up for the lost time. Janet helped with the notes while Steve helped with the tutoring. Within two days, I got back on track.Thinking about family, Steve's family has been accommodating. We still haven't left their house. Though I'm starting to feel we're overstaying but who was I kidding? We've just used a week and some days and there are times we stayed there for months so I don't think they would have issues with us staying for more than a week.Mom...well I haven't noticed anything unusual about mom. Even the morning after I had that dream, I looked at her carefully and found nothing unusual. I didn't even remember to ask her anything.
Janet's POVI'm pissed off right now. I mean how could Melanie just allow that girl to slap her numerous times? Even when Steve came in her defense, she stopped him from reacting and I know even when Melanie didn't stop him, he wouldn't be able to slap or do anything to Nancy. He does not like using his hands on girls. I think I've had enough of Nancy and her tantrums. I need to inform Dad about this."She's awake" Steve announced as I rushed to the room she was placed in."What made her faint?" I faced the nurse in charge of the school's sick bay."She has fever but I've given her some medications to subdue it. And why is her face so red?" The nurse asked in concern."She was slapped." I sighed."What the hell? You guys should report the person who did that. Just take a look at her face." She pointed to Melanie's face.It was pale making the red marks of Nancy's fingers evident. I lo
Melanie's POV"Good morning" I said as I sat down at the dining table. "How are you doing now? I hope the fever is down." Mom asked as she touched my forehead. I forced a smile. "I'm fine, Mom.""Okay, hurry up with your meal. I have an appointment at the hospital." Steve's dad said."Alright, dad." Steve answered. Everyone went silent and sounds of the cutleries could only be heard. I glanced at my wristwatch. It's just five minutes to seven. We won't be late. I picked up the glass cup and drank water from it."Okay, Melanie dear, you ...wait, what's that?" Steve's mom looked at me in shock."What's what?" I asked. "Your face? Why is it so red?" She asked. I glanced at Steve. This means Steve didn't mention anything to them about what led to me fainting. "It's nothing" I smiled."But...". "Mom, it's nothing." Steve interrupted."Okay, guys. It's time to leave.
Melanie's POVWhat the hell just happened now? How could all her wish and order-like words come to pass just like that? I stared at her."Janet, what's all this?" Steve asked. "You did it to them, right?" I also asked. "I don't know" she shrugged."I'm as shocked as you are" I drew closer to her. "Girl, do you have super powers now?" I asked stupidly but I can't help it. Something as such just happened in my presence."I don't know. Seriously!" She almost yelled. Wow! This freaks me out a little. I stood up."Okay, come out. Let's check it out." I dragged her up. I exited the cafeteria with her and Steve trailed behind.I dragged her to the library. I pointed at a book."Command that." I said. "Melanie, I can't. I don't think I have any special powers. My wish just came true." She tried to persuade me but I wasn't having any of those."Command i
Suzy's POVI arranged few of my clothes and placed them in a small traveling bag. I glanced at my wristwatch and realized I was not late so I don't need to be in a haste."Okay, I think am ready." I said to myself. I picked up the bag and stepped out of my room. I locked my room's door and walked down the stairs while I dragged the bag behind me. On getting to the living room, my secretary and the manager stood up. The secretary collected the bag from me while my manager handed over my business phone. I usually don't keep it with me. He receives the calls for me but right now I wanted them to be with me."Let's go" I said. We walked out and the bodyguards the agency got for me rushed over. One of them opened the car's door and bowed as I proceeded to enter. My secretary entered through the other door and my manager, George entered another car. We were on our way to the agency first and then I'd be traveling to my hometown."Kate,
Author's POVSomewhere in a dazzling kingdom full of magic and supernatural beings with supernatural powers, guards were moving up and down in the palace, trying to ensure the safety of their King and queen. The throne room was lightened up with different form of light. The king and the queen, each with a scepter, sat down on the thrones provided for them. A young lady with an extremely long hair just like the Queen's stood before them in the throne room."Marianna" the Queen's voice resounded in the throne room. The young lady knelt down and bowed."Yes, your highness" she answered."Report" the queen commanded."Yes, your highness" she replied and she stood up, still with her head bowed."A close friend of my lady got a bit of the commanding power." She started."How did that happen?" The king asked."Your highness, it's due to the magical band on my lady's wrist. She was with my l
Melanie's POV"What the hell just happened now?" I panicked while I stared at Daisy or should I say Mila who was pacing up and down. She stopped, walked up to me, held my hands when she saw me moving backwards and she stared at me."Sis, don't freak out. I'll try to explain things to you but right now, I need to go back. I'll be back before dinnertime." She told me and she just disappeared. I staggered backwards and rested my back on the building wall.Minutes later, when I recovered from the shock, I pressed the bell. The gate keeper opened the gate for me. I entered and went straight to the house. When I entered, I noticed no one was home. I went to my room, took my bath and changed into a comfy dress. I sat down on my bed and thought about what just happened."Is that a dream or a reality?" I asked myself. I closed my eyes and something flashed through. I opened my eyes immediately and I ran to the sitting room. I saw the TV still wo
Melanie's POVI ran into the house immediately Suzy's chauffeur dropped me off. I did not tell Suzy what I saw when I was about to leave her place but she knew something was wrong."Daisy" I called but got no response. "Daisy! Mom!" I called again as I entered the main living room and I saw all the family members seated, watching TV. I sighed in relief."Mom" I called and she looked at me. "My baby" she stretched her hand and I walked up to her, held her hand and kissed it. I saw Daisy with Jessie. I gave her a look and she understood it. I stood up and she followed me.When we got to the room, I closed the door."I saw Sage" I told her. "Where? When?" She asked."When I was about to come back home. Like a flash or should I say a vision." I tried to explain but I couldn't get the right word. "Okay, calm down" she said when she noticed I was worried. "I think it's time we visit
