It Chapter 2 Old Lady Novels & Stories

“A wolfless human born of a wolf... she shall die to stop the reincarnation of The Myths.” “Novel!” I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her toward me. “Stop. What are you reading? You need to calm down and wait for the lady.” But she wasn't listening. Her eyes were fixed on the symbols. “The Myths... Alexei, you…..” I looked around wondering where the old lady was. She gasped and recoiled from me as if I had burned her. She scrambled back toward the wall, but before she could speak another word, the Old Lady appeared from the shadows.

“I am Lady Margaret, Largota’s stewardess. This is Sophie and that is Letty. We are at your service and have brought your dinner.” I smile at her and hope my naivety is not so obvious. I don’t even know what it means to be a stewardess. “Good evening, Lady Margaret and ladies. Thank you, but I am not hungry.” The old lady lets out a sigh before signalling the two women out. “You have to eat, My Dear or there shall be trouble for me and the girls.” I look at her and only see honesty in those warm eyes. What monster gives trouble to an old lady for such a stupid thing? I have my answer as I ask the question. My cold-blooded, murderous husband would. I wonder how she ended up here.

"No. Not at all. You sound like you're in trouble. What's wrong?" A long sigh could be heard from the other end. [I just experienced something terrible. No wonder my uncle suddenly had a trauma this morning after leaving with Ansel. I intended to meet Rita, the former administrator at our company, to ask for an explanation, but it turns out she also had a trauma like my uncle. Even worse. She... she started trembling again after what we saw earlier in the forest.] "Wait! Speak slowly, Sander. Calm down first, then tell me the chronology," Jack requested calmly.

he snickers. “Now she wants to get married in the barn...” I continue. “And I know how much she loves it so, obviously, I feel bad if I don’t let her have it there.” I shake my head in disgust. “I’m getting fucked up against the wall here...” I mutter. “Damned if I do and damned if I don’t.” “What was the old lady’s name? The one who left her this house?” Joshua asks. “Gloria,” I answer.

“Suzy! You dare sue me? I’m your mother, you ungrateful brat! “I raised you all those years, and now you want to sue your own mother over money?” I turned sideways and dodged her swipe, speaking coldly. “You remember you’re my mother now? When you handed me that two dollars, did you remember I was your daughter? When you spent two million on a house for Victor, did you remember me then? “You raised me when I was young, and I’ll take care of you when you’re old. That’s fair. But that doesn’t mean I have to support a useless brother, and it certainly doesn’t mean I’ll let you drain me dry.”

I don’t know why but I think I need to speak to her. Isla finished reciting the oaths and vows and then the Old straw-skinned lady stepped forward towards her with a small and weird-looking plate in her hand. Why do her possessions always have to look so weird? Isla noticed the lady and seemed surprised by her presence. Maybe, like me, she wasn’t expecting her to be here too? Nevertheless, Isla didn’t react and just stood straight as the creepy Old lady poured a slick liquid on her hands and a bit on her head.

A living room with clean shelves, books, a rugs, a wooden center table, with flowers on it, and tidy marble floors, with the walls bathed in a light cream color. There was a big fire, the flames of which were licking the bottom of a large, black pot, and I could smell beef broth boiling. Potatoes were also peeling themselves, and the green light on the ceiling was flickering on, and off. “Do we… Do we just walk in?” Ralph asked, turning to me, and I almost laughed. “You're asking me now?” I returned, in a whisper, and then, an old lady appeared at the door. Our eyes widened because she wasn't the kind of old lady we expected. Yes, she was old, but we expected someone much older.

My two pups are still underage and I won’t allow Masuzyo to hurt them to get to me. “Is there something I can find for you?” she asks. “No, thank you, just point me in the right direction.” She does and I go to the records room, going back two years. I think back, trying to remember the exact day. It was late fall. There was a light dusting of snow on the ground. October. I find the right year, then the right month. Before I find the file, I get a mind link from Atticus. ‘Luca, it’s her. The others are telling Alpha Masuzyo now,’ he tells me in the mind link.

“You scared me.” Yarrow’s grey speckled brow rose in sardonic curiosity, “Did I now?” Sensing the trap too late, Parisa began to backtrack, “I mean– I didn’t– I wasn’t–” “Din’t, wasn’t, couldn’t, shouldn’t…tsk tsk,” the old lady began to amble towards the window. Her movements had lost their virility with arthritis, disease and the inevitable rush of age. Parisa watched as she reached for the curtains and drew them back letting in light, she squinted at the grounds below in disapproval, “now let’s see which fool you been wasting sleep over.”

Old Lady Lawson handed her a key and said, “This is the key to my wardrobe. Open it up. There’s a passbook inside. Take it to the bank and withdraw the money that you helped pay for me before.” “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take more than I should? When you’re feeling better, you can go and withdraw the money yourself and give it back to me,” Sonnet replied with a smile. Old Lady Lawson smiled and said, “I trust you, girl. You saved my life even though we didn’t know each other. You’re not that kind of person. Go ahead and withdraw the money yourself. I have money, and I can’t let you pay for me after you saved my life!”
