Awake
While Eamon slept in his room, he slept beside her that night. Holding her tightly to himself as if she was gonna disappear from his sight.
Is it that obvious of her predicament. That she isn't human, her scars and skin and her hair. He didn't know what to say it Eamon when he asked that question, he didn't want to lie to him.
He said he would tell him everything after she's awake, because now he isn't himself.
The night went by slowly, he had slept halfway through the night. Singing the song he wrote for her. With her hands clasped in his. And her head on his shoulders. He had to do something, what is she could hear him. What if she was listening.
<A haggard looking woman came out down from the bus, she was tall and slim. Her nails were long and unkempt, her skin had gone tanned. Her hair, had probably hadn't seen anything like water for a long time. She had grew wrinkles in her face. She looked so dead though she was still living, upon reaching her destination. Over her head was a veil. Covering her face. She didn't want anyone to recognize her, that's if they could actually recognize her. She was a different person now. She couldn't recognize her own side in the mirror.Glancing around the familiar neighborhood, memories she had been trying to forget was flashing through her.How long has she been away?Standing in front of the prominent bungalow of Lucas. She turned away, feeling the pains of what happened that night. Right there in her chest. She grip her heart.Her eye had gone teary-eyed it felt like yesterday she they were trapped in the
Linda stood by the door of Albert’s ward, patiently waiting for Dixon to come. She squeezed her hands together, Bruce wasn’t here either, she couldn’t wait for them to come, a birthday was tomorrow, but they have to do the dinner now instead of tomorrow, because he might not survive the night. It's all her fault.She couldn't watch her husband, Albert is gonna die because of her. She won't sit and do nothing.Peru must pay for ruining her family, he dare not show up in her face ever again.She wrapped her hands over her body, the night was cold. She remember the one time they had went out as a family on a night as this.That was years ago.
Albert watched his family as they laughed and joked with themselves, they’d never been this free with him, was he that bad of a father to them. He had thought he was doing his best for them and their future. But he ruin his family, he trusted Peru too much that he end up ruining himself and the people who truly cares about him, they were his family. No one else did, his wife and his sons.He’s been awful, and now he’s clear off Peru control, but he had limited time to do whatever he wants to, he couldn’t change the past but could correct the present.He wanted to love his family, but he was gonna die there was no more time for him.This he would have done a long time ago. He won’t have sent his own son to prison just for his personal gain.
“Maeve!” Dixon yelled. It was past three hours she left and he hadn't seen her or know where she had gone. Albert wanted to see her. That's why he was looking for her. Where could she have gone?“Maeve.”He called again.“Where the hell are you?” He called her name again but there wasn't any reply. Where could she be? Did she run away, she couldn't, she promised she was gonna stay with him.“Maeve!”“Keep your voice down,” Mark said, leaning on the door with his eyes partially closed.“You must be the boyfriend.”“Who are you?”
“Hey babe..” He Pushed the hair off her face and kissed her cheeks. She turned, sleepily to face him. His fingers lingers on her face, drawing lines on it.“When did you get back?”“Few minutes ago.”“Are you okay?” She sat up, rubbing her weary eyes. He sat on the bed. Taking her hands in his.“I wasn’t a while ago, but when I got to see you, I couldn’t be more than happy. Don’t ever leave me. I don’t think I would survive not having you beside me each day.”“I’m here. With you.”“Let’s go somewhere tonight, somewhere far from
“Momma?”“Yes baby. It’s me.” Mare pulled her into a hug again, patting her hair. Maeve had her head on her shoulders. Concealing everything, she wasn’t gonna let the tears flow, because it wasn’t just tears that would come out of it. It was more than that. Something she can’t let her see. Something she mustn’t know about her daughter, more reason she can’t stay with her for too long. It was her mother, right here and yet she can’t stay. It was just a few days left before she dies and the demon takes over her completely. Her soul would be trapped forever. That’s if it doesn’t die. And there was no going back. Dixon mustn’t know of the sacrifice, it would only get him hurt and worried sick about her and she couldn’t bare to see him this hurt. Because of her.He had been a
Maeve came out of the ward, after putting Mare to bed. She had slept off after their discussions. She saw him, lost in thought. His head leaning on the wall. What was he thinking about.“Are you okay? Dixon! Dixon.” She shook him a little and then he blinked and jolted off the thought that he was.“Hey.”“What are you thinking about, I’ve never seen you this lost in thought.”“I was thinking about someone, I shouldn’t waste my thinking about it. How is mom?”“She’s sleeping.”“Come, Let’s go.” He took her hands. And they began walking away from the ward.&nbs
Maeve watched Dixon sleeps. Staring at his face caressing it with her fingers. He stirred and looked at her with a smile, though still sleepy.“Ain’t you asleep yet. Come lay beside me.”“Ain’t sleepy yet. I’ll join you soon though. I had to go somewhere first.”“Where to? It’s late already.”“I’ll be fine. And it would be a quick meeting.”“Humm. Don’t stay out too late, it would be too cold without you In here.” He closed his eyes again and slept off. She chuckled and brought her head down and kissed his lips.A day was gone.
