My Indoor Holiday by Nobody: 4:27pm On Jun 07, 2019 |
My Indoor Holiday ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ . Written by Rejoice . Chapter 1 ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ Arghhh! Finally we’ve reached our destination. It took almost an hour! Riding in this damn coldy car. Don’t she even notice I don’t like much cold? Arghhh! how could dad tell me to be here? such a small house! Wait, my aunt ain’t even that rich the way I thought. Living here for a week is sure gonna be hell for me. “Ah finally Isa, we are home.” Aunt Kiki said, smiling and undoing her seatbelt. I said nothing and undid my seatbelt as well. “Get down dear,let’s get your bag.” she said and I rolled my eyes. I did’t come here with my whole bedroom. “I could get them myself.” I said and coming down from the car, I walked to the boot, opened it and grabbed my two boxes. I dragged them along. She came to take one, “It’s fine Aunt Kiki.” I said and she only gave me a smile and we walked towards the front porch. Seriously, I don’t like that im here. Im gonna miss Katy and Ariana and a whole seven days without them is gonna be like a seven years without them. Im really going to miss them so much. What about Davis? Ugh… I don’t even like him. Im only gonna miss Katy and Ariana. Aunt Kiki opened the door and waited for me to go in first. I did, dragging my two boxes along. When the door was shut close, she laughed heartily to me. “Isa I know you gonna be quite disappointed with my home, it’s a little messy and not so large like yours.. It’s only for a week and you’ll be back to your large home.” she said as I stared at the messy sitting-room in scattered sheets of papers and crayons. “You know Isa dear, im a nursery school teacher and I do home lessons for some of my kids. They are great. You’ll love them all when you see them tomorrow.” she said. I rolled my eyes, “I need a shower, food and a soft bed to sleep on. Im exhausted.” I said and she smiled. “Well Isa, I’ve not cooked anything, so im gonna show you your room, so you shower and then come help me out in the kitchen dear.” I raised my brows. Now this is what i’ve never done in my life. “I’ve never neared a kitchen Aunt. I am in no way going to the kitchen, especially not yours. Don’t you have a maid. I could have called Jo to come with me.” I said. “And who is Jo?” she asked. “My maid.” I said. “Ohh I do everything in here myself cos Im fit to, so I don’t need a maid and don’t think I’ve got a bad ugly looking kitchen, it’s quite lovely Isa dear.” she said. I rolled my eyes, “Whatever Aunt. Ain’t you showing me the bedroom anymore? come on, im exhausted.” She smiled. “Ofcourse I will, follow me.” she said and I did. We took the staircase, and soon we stepped into a narrow corridor with connected doors. She passed the first door, second door and then stopped at the third. “Oh yeah here.” she said and slide the key into the door lock. The door opened and she walked in. I did. It’s quite lovely, with pink rug, bedspreads and curtains. Pink is my favourite. How did she know? “When your dad called me that you’do be coming for a stay, I was so suprised and happy. I knew you love pink so deeply, so I had to get a pink fur rug,curtains, bedspreads and pillowcases. Hope you like it?” I nodded, “It’s quite cool but mine’s got more pinks.” I said. “Yeah I know. You keep your luggages over there, the closet can take in all your clothes.” she said. I’ll keep my boxes beside the blue closet, then arrange my clothes in the closet. Wait. “Aunt Kiki, is the closet clean? I hope there’s no cobwebs. I hate cobwebs.” I said. She smiled, “It’s cleaned Isa but if you find any cobweb, then you take it off.” she said and I twisted my face in horror. “No way! You don’t expect me to touch cobweb with my hands!” I screamed. “No Isa, there’s a broom in the bathroom, you use that.” she said. I rolled my eyes, “I don’t touch brooms, they might pierce into my hands and.. ” she cut me short. “No Isa, you hold brooms at their handle, and nothing like such will occur. Now I’do leave for you to freshen up, then join me at the kitchen. It’s by the left after the dinning-room.” she said, then smiled and left, closing the door. I inhaled. Crazy. This room doesn’t even smell nice. Gosh!! And the bed isn’t as large and soft the way I like my bed to be. Im calling dad right now, I can’t stay here for a day! I wanted to spend my holidays at Sunmay Beach with Katy and Ariana but dad was not changing his mind for me to spend them in this cracked up house with an lazy Aunt and no maid! She can’t even make a meal by herself! Her sitting-room was so messy. Why! And ugh! she’s only a nursery school teacher! too poor! I opened my smaller pink box and it all contained my underwears, sleeping wears, including my makeup-kit too, my pink iphone tablet and pink headset. I took out my tablet and headphone, got out a pink undies to wear and brought out my make out kit too. I brought out my phone from my little sticker chain-bag and dialled dad’s line. It rang twice before he picked up. “Dad!” I half cried. “Isa darling, how are you? Your Aunt had called already to tell me you are home safely. Hope you like your aunt and her home? she’s really lovely. You gonna enjoy your stay there, trust me.” “No dad. There’s nothing enjoyable here, I don’t wanna stay here dad. I wanna come home.” “No Isa, you have to stay with your Aunt for awhile.” “I don’t want!” I shouted. “You have to dear. I’ll call you by seven Isa, bye for now and don’t forget to be nice to your Aunt and help her out. Do whatever she tells you to do. I love you.” he said and before I could talk, he dropped the call. I stamped my feet on the ground in fierce anger. I sat there, staring at my iphone. I felt like smatching it at the damn blue wall. But after few minutes, I think my anger calmed a bit. I stood up and walked to the closet, opened it to find the closet looking so not good and there are cobwebs!! I screamed with anger. “Ahhh!”“Ahhhhhhhhh!!” “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” “Isa! Are you okay there?” I heard Aunt. Kiki’s voice from the staircase I think. Soon my bedroom door opened and she rushed in, looking scared. “Are you alright Isa? I heard you screaming.” “Im not! there’s cobwebs!” I yelled. She placed her hands on her chest and sighed. “Oh my! Isa. You got me so scared. It’s only cobwebs dear. The broom is over there at the bathroom. Get it and clean them off.” she said with a smile, turned,walked out and closed the door. I fumed and stamped my feet on the ground. Now what the hell is this? All my life i’ve never touched a broom! Arghhhhhhhhh! I feel like disappearing outta here! back to my home. My sweet bedroom! my maid Jo, my dad, my friends and spend my holidays at Sunmay beach with Katy and Ariana! Not here! in a cobweb filled room! Realizing there’s nothing I can do about this, I walked into the bathroom. It wasn’t that small but there’s no bathtub, no jacuzzi just a shower cubicle and toilet. I hissed and went for the broom beside the vanity unit, grabbed it and after another brief unsatisfied look at the bathroom once more, I walked out to the bedroom, over to the closet and with my face twisted in disgust, I cleaned off the stupid cobweb and threw the broom only for it to land on the fur rug and dirty the spot it dropped. I hissed leaving it there, and began to arrange my clothes in the closet, but first spreading some perfume inside. After so much time, I was finally done. Aunt Kiki have not come since then. She’s nothing but mean and lazy! I undressed, picked up my pink towel, wrapped it around my body, collected my soap dish and toiletry bag and headed into the bathroom. I hate bathing in the shower! I love Jacuzzi in the morning and bathtub in the night! But here, i’ve got no choice. I brushed, then went into the shower cubicle to bathe. * * I dressed into a pink bomshort and a light purple tank top, packed my brown hair into a ponytail and applied mascara on my long eyelashes, a little foundation on my smooth face and a little pink lipgloss on my small lips. I touched the necklace on my neck. A tiny blue stone fixed into the locket with slim but strong black rope which held round to my neck. My dad never told me how he got this necklace but it’s been on my neck ever since I was born with a strict warning of me, never to take it out of my neck. Though I never like it, but i’ve obeyed dad’s warning. Looking at myself in the mirror, I look so beautiful…and im so proud of my beauty and my skin. You know how good it feels to be marked in school as the most beautiful student? For you to be signed as the school billboard model and the current EyeGirl. For you to have Katy, Mari Mayn-the american singer’s daughter, and Arianna, the ex- governor’s granddaughter as friends. That’s a whole lot of pride. But my dad think they are nothing but bad peers. I’ve been trying to make him see that they aren’t but he’s not understanding. Sometimes, I want to say that I hate my dad but I know that’s a lie. I can never hate my dad, I love him. He’s the best dad in the whole world. * I sat back on the bed, picked up my tablet and connected on a video call to Katy… sure thing is that, I love Katy Mayn more. She picked up and her grinning face came on. “Woah! Isaaaaa!” she yelled. My eyes first fell on the background. Woah… she’s at the beach. I could see passing people in bikini and shorts. Katy, she wore a blue bikini with sunglasses and a sun hat. “Isaaa, come on. Look at your face.” she said, laughing as air blew through her long black hair. “Sunmay beach?” I asked. “No.. iebeach, but Ariana and I would be going to Sunmay beach next tomorrowwww. ” she said, laughing. I sighed. “Im gonna miss that so much.” “We are gonna miss you too. I got a new charming guy, Raven. He’s so handsome and hot… We’ll be going to Sunmay together and his super handsome friend too, he wanted to meet you so badly.” “Awwwwn what does his name sound like?” I asked. “Alex. He’s so handsome.” she said. I sighed in anger, “Im gonna miss so much.” I said. “Yeah alot.” she said and made a sad face. “What about Ariana?” “She went to get drinks with Davis. You know she’s so crazy about him. Hahaha.” “I don’t like him.” I said. “Me too but he’s cute tho.” she said. “Isa Raven is so romantic, you know what? we hangout yesterday night, drank till we got tipsy and getting to his house, we did some naughty plays.” she said and giggled. “Woah. How rich is he?” “Super rich and he’s studying in Germanyyyy.” “What about his friend, uhmm Alex?” “Same!” “How did you meet them Katy?” “Seriously girl, my mom is a top American singer, have you forgotten?” she laughed. I smiled, “Have fun girl. I hate here. It’s so boring and frustrating. My dad just hate me to bring me in this goddamn place.” “Im so sorry Isa, you know there’s nothing we could have done to make him change his mind. You don’t worry, we gonna get you lots of goodies.” she said. Then she raised her brows, “Ariana is coming with Davis. Let me run to them. First, check out the beach water.” she said and turned to the beach water. It look beautiful with people in, swimming and playing.. So much fun. “Fun right?” she asked. “Yeah.” I said. “Ariana, come talk with Isa.” Katy called on Arianna. “Oh my God Isaaa!!” I heard Arianna shout. * * Coming down the stairs to the sitting-room, Aunt Kiki wasn’t in. Is she still in the kitchen? Preparing what exactly? A feast? I followed the direction to the kitchen she gave me, and there was she in the nice looking but small kitchen, sitting on a back-chair and reading a newspaper with her glasses. She raised her face and smiled. “Great. Finally you are here. Over there is the pot of food, serve yourself with a dish.” she said. I frowned, “And what food is that and why should I touch a pot! i’ve never done that!?” “Rice dear. You’ll like it.” she said. “No way! I hate rice!” I said. “Fine Isa dear, inside the fridge are the milk carton, make yourself a tea, then we gonna cook your type of dish later okay?” she said with a smile. I hissed and headed to the fridge. Im hungry and I can’t bear it. I opened the fridge to find something more better, cornflakes and milk. The doorbell rang and she stood up. “Ohh it must be Catherine” she said and walked out. I signed and took out the cornflake box and milk. Picked out a plate, spoon and water. I have slight idea how to make this thing. I poured in the cornflakes, milk and water but the water became much. I hissed and threw the shit into the sink, walked to the fridge, grabbed a biscuit pack and a juice, closed back the fridge, sat on the back- seat and began eating. . . |

My Indoor Holiday ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ . Written by Rejoice . Chapter 2 ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ When I walked out to the the sitting-room, Aunt Kiki was talking with a dark-skinned lady. They both turned their eyes to me and I rolled my eyes and headed for the staircase but Aunt Kiki called me back. “Isabel come back and say Hi to my friend.” I sighed and reluctantly came to them. “So Catherine, this is my niece, Isabel and Isabel this is my friend, Catherine.” I sighed. What’s my business! “Isabel, you are such a beautiful girl.” Catherine said and hugged me. I rolled my eyes. She pulled away and with a broad smile she said, “My house is the third after yours. My husband and I are gardeners. I have a daughter, Rose, she could come stay with you sometimes.” she said. I scoffed within. “Alright Isa, go to your room.” aunt Kiki said. I turned and climbed the stairs to the room. * Realising there’s no TV in the room, I layed on the bed, wore my headset and took out my tablet to play games. But soon, I slept off. * When I woke up, it was dark already. I took off the headset, dropped it on the bed and stood up from the bed. I found the switch and the lights came on. I rubbed my eyes then walked over to the window and drew the curtains. The house after ours is almost like Aunt Kiki’s. With stuttered windows and chimney. The window directly opposite mine was open and the creamy curtains danced at the touch of the passing wind but I couldn’t see the inside. It was dark. I could also see the mainstreet and the street lights and also few cars driving pass and passing people, mostly people in rubber boots and overcoat. I sighed and closed back the curtain. Just then, the door opened and Aunt Kiki walked in. “Isa, I came to check on you after Catherine left and saw you sleeping. I know you must be very hungry after dropping the cornflakes and taking only a biscuit and juice.” she said. My stomache grumbled instantly. “Yeah I am!” I said. “Well while you were asleep, I prepared a very sweet sandwitch and mayonnaise. You’ll like it.” she said with a smile. I sighed. Very much better. * * “So Isa, your dad thought you could be safe here, that was why he brought you over. You know right?” she asked after we were done eating and I rolled my eyes. “Safe in what way? He forced me to be here cos he wants me to be away from my best friends. He think they are bad peers. I should be spending my holiday in Sunmay beach, not here in this boring cobweb old modern house.” I said. She smiled. “It’s okay Isa, just stay a week and it will be over. You should go take a shower now and sleep.” she said. I rolled my eyes. “I just woke up from sleep. I’ll watch movies.” I said. “Ohh great. I have lots of Kdramas, you will love them. Ever heard of BBF? The Heir, A playful kiss? Dream High? My personal Taste?” I rolled my eyes. “I hate Kdramas. I’ll watch Nicklodeon rather.” I said. She sighed, then shrugged, “But I love Korean movies more, my daughter loved it too before she.. she died.” she said and I sighed. I heard the news. My dad told me Regina, Kiki’s daughter fell into the ocean and no one was there to save her, she got lost or rather, she died and her body was never found. “Is that ocean around?” I asked. She looked straight at me and let out a sad smile, “Your dad told you?” “Yeah.” “No it’s not. It’s a fifty minutes drive from here.” she said. “But what did she went there to do?” “She went for a search with her two school friends, Mara and Elizabeth, then all I heard was she was swimming and all of a sudden she was lost in the ocean, her friends didn’t see her anymore.. She was searched for in the ocean but she wasn’t found. But there was something I never liked about her friendship with Elizabeth. I always had the feeling that Elizabeth is not really human. Her behaviour and her talks about waters and oceans.” she said. I think I began getting scared. I inhaled. “Where is the Elizabeth now?” I asked. “She lives with her sister some blocks away.” “They live in this street?” “Yes but not so close” she said. I breathed out. “Okay, Im going up to my room.” I said. I don’t wanna continue this scary conversation. “Aren’t you watching some movies anymore?” she asked. “No. I think I need to talk with my dad, then sleep off.” I said. She smiled. “Alright Isa, goodnight. Have a sweet dreams, may God Angels be by your sides and watch over you tonight, Amen.” she prayed. “Thanks.” I said and left for my room. “Isa.” she called and I sighed and stopped. “Yeah!” “Aren’t you gonna say ‘goodnight’ to me too?” I chuckled and turned to face her. “Goodnight Aunt Kiki.” I said. She smiled, “Thanks my beautiful niece.” I turned and finally climbed up the staircase to my room. * Seriously that was scary. She was having the feelings that Elizabeth wouldn’t be really a human. Maybe a mermaid, sorceress or spirit? And they live in the street. God! I don’t wanna think about this. I better just watch any movie on my phone or listen to music. No I’ll watch a movie. I searched through my tablet and settled for a phillipine movie, ‘Bride For Rent’ It’s gonna make me laugh and help in making me forget about Regina’s death, Oceans and Elizabeth. I played the movie and it began. Two hours later, it was over and I was happy I had nothing bothering me again. I took my shower, pulled into my pink pajamas. Just then dad call came and I picked up. “How are you daughter?” his voice came in. “I don’t know dad. Im missing so many things already. I wish you could let me come back tomorrow.” I said. “No darling. You gonna be back but that is after a week with your aunt.” he said. “She’s got no maid dad and my bedroom is so small.” I said sadly. “You have to live in them, just the way there are. You don’t expect everyone to be wealthy. Learn darling, Im gonna transfer your aunt money tomorrow for your upkeep. Don’t forget to know that I love you.”he said. I sighed. “Goodnight dad.” I said and dropped the call before he could, Just he could know that im angry. But my Anger is not gonna make him change his mind. Maybe I should tell him about Elizabeth. That might scare him. I called him back…after a long ring, he picked up. “What is it Isa?” he asked immediately he picked up the call. I breathed out, “Dad im scared.. Im really scared here. aunt Kiki said a girl she think is behind her daughter’s death is living in the area. Dad Im scared to be here.. I want to come back.” I said and began crying. “It’s okay Isa dear, I’ll know what to do about this. I think you gonna come back tomorrow. I don’t want anything happening to you.” she said and I almost jumped pass the ceiling! My jump was so high. My head almost touched the ceiling! “Yeah dad! yes! yes! yes!” I said. “I’ll talk with your aunt. Be careful ok. switch off the lights and cover yourself well. Goodnight.” “Goodnight dad.” I said excitedly. The call dropped and I fell on my bed, spreading wide my hands. “Yes!! im so going back home tomorrow!” I said, grabbed my headset, wore it, and played ‘Katy Perry-Teenage Dreams’ I stood up on the bed, began dancing and singing loudly along. Jumping crazily on the bed… Yeah yeah yeah. * * * Waking up by a song and guitar playing..I thought I still had my headset but I remember vividly that I took it off when sleep came rocking on my eyes. But I still touched my head and my ear and there was no headset. The bedside lamp was the only light on. I rubbed my eyes and sat up on the bed. Now I could get it actually. The song was coming from outside. Really? who plays guitar at… I tapped on my phone and the time said ‘2:15am’ Who plays guitar and sings that loud at this time? I got out of the bed, walked to the window and drew the curtains and there at the next house, sitting on the shuttered window and facing the high street was a guy in black shirt and black trouser, playing a guitar and singing. Woah even though it was night time, I could see how his black hair curled to the side of his face. I could see his handsomess from here. His voice is super sweet. He sang with energy and with smiles. I watched him.. When he was done with the song, he started another one. This one more sweet and captivating. I smiled and nodded my head along to the sweet rhymes of the song. After the third Verse, I could now sing along in the refrain. *****Don’t you ever say, Maybe I might stay, cos im never going away from you. Something I believe That im gonna live Cos Im an Angel watching over you. All day! All night! Im your sun, im your moon and your stars. Just believe I’ll never leave You are always in my heart Foreverrr***** I laughed.. realizing I sang along with him. His song is so captivating and the very way he played his guitar. Do he live in that house? Can’t he look over here to see that someone has been watching him? He look really handsome and im crushing on him already. Soon he began another song. ***When I was a little boy I thought I could reach to the stars and ride in one But hell no no no, I could only jump a little upper and then im falling down*** I laughed. Why would he think that, that’s crazy. I watched him tell his childhood story all in that song and it was very amazing. His mom was a knitter and his dad a gardener. Whenever he follows his mom to her knitting shop, he’do try to knit ‘H’ but end up spoiling his mom’s wools. And when he’s with his father in the garden, he love to mold the size of his dad shoe with sand and then slid his two fit in just one. He use to lie sick so he could miss school to stay home and compose a new song. He hated maths but loved his maths teacher but he loved music and hated his music teacher. When he was fourteen, he loved Loveth cos her name was love thinking she’do be love but she ended up being hatred and heartbreak, so he named her Lotofhate instead of Loveth. He never took a bus to school till he was fifteen and so lots of others. Woah.. My childhood wasn’t that way. I was always being carried to the bathtub. Taken to the amuzement park. Going to schools in private cars and not allowed to touch anything in my dad’a mansion. * I felt sleepy again and after a brief look, I drew close the curtain and layed back on my bed. I could still hear him singing. Im sure I ain’t the only one hearing him now. Maybe aunt Kiki is and the whole neighbourhood. But he’s really handsome and his songs are so so sweet. I laughed as he sang the last line of his childhood story. ***Never thought I was a child at seven untill I wore dad’s coat and couldn’t find myself.**** SOURCE: https://www.emperorblog.com.ng/?s=my+indoor+holiday |

My Indoor Holiday ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ . Written by Rejoice . Chapter 3 ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ Waking up with a slight headache, I rubbed the side where it’s hitting and the only reason I could say brought the headache is that I stayed a little awake in the midnight. Recalling the guitar guy, I smiled, got up and dashed to the window, drew the curtains but he wasn’t there anymore but the window is open but I couldn’t see the inside. It’s dark. Why? I drew close the curtain and walked to the beside lamp, turned the light off and then headed into the bathroom. I had a pee in the WC before going over to the vanity unit, washed my face in the sink and brushed my teeth. checking myself in the small cirle mirror, I saw that my eyes were baggy and dull. I shouldn’t be up by this time if I did wake up at midnight. This is just ‘five minutes after seven’ and I don’t even feel dizzy for more sleep and my waking up was quite astonishing. I just opened my eyes like I wasn’t even sleeping which is so unusual especially when I was awake in the midnight. What happened? it seemed as if someone woke me up but that can’t be possible. * I got out of the bathroom, slide my feet into my pink fur slippers, grabbed my phone and walked out of the room. * Downstairs, aunt Kiki was already dressed up for school. She smiled at seeing me walk down the stairs. “Isa dear, I was about coming to your room to let you know that im off to school. You should eat the pancake in the microwave. It’s really delicious.” she said. “Wait, im I really going to stay alone in this house?” I asked. “Ofcourse it’s okay. Im gonna tell Rose to come over and stay with you so you wouldn’t feel lonely. There’s nothing to be scared of OK?” she hurriedly said,“..and Im gonna be back before it’s ‘3pm’ Take care of yourself darling.” she said, then came over and gave me a peck. I watched her leave and close the door, followed by the zooming off of her car. I sighed. Wait! dad didn’t call her? dad didn’t call her after telling me he will! I dialled dad’s line immediately and he picked up after so many rings. “Hello dad!” I yelled into the phone. “Isa, are you alright?” “Im not! why didn’t you call aunt Kiki after telling me you gonna call her!!” I yelled. “Isa, we gonna talk about this later. Right now, im in a meeting.” He said and ended the call. I stamped my feet!! Damn you dad! I just wanna say that I hate you but I can’t! Anyways, im so hungry. I headed to the kitchen to get the pancake she talked about. Finding the microwave, I opened it and there on a ceramic dish was a sweet smelling pancake. I grabbed it, placed it on a tray, picked a juice and water from the fridge and carried them in the tray to the dinning where I placed them carefully on the table, sat down and ate it all till the plate was empty. After resting for awhile, then it came knocking on my head. Who’s gonna wash this things and even the ones aunt Kiki left in the sink? It can’t be me tho. I’ll just take them to the kitchen. She wash them when she gets back. * I carried the tray back to the kitchen, dropped them in the sink, then walked out to the sitting- room, sat down on the longest couch, grabbed the remote from the table and switched on the TV to watch movies. Well after searching through the channels, I settled for Zeeworld. I think that’s much better. But after an hour, I got tired and left to my room to have my bathe. * After bathing, I settled for a white singlet with a white lacy jacket over it and a yellow skirt. I applied mascara on my eyelashes and decided to take few selfies and I did. They look sweet but the background is not so cool! Ugh! I can’t wait to get outta this house! My guitar crush. Why’s he giving me the feelings of staying back. Of not wanting to go anymore. I walked to the window, drew the curtains to check if he’s there but he still wasn’t. I wish to watch him sing again.. I wanna see how handsome he is in the day light. But after few minutes and he didn’t show up on the window, I drew close the window. Maybe he only sings at nights. I sat on the bed, grabbed my phone and decided to go through my WhatsApp chats and instagram. I went through Katy’s instagram uploads and she did take a lot of pictures with Ariana, Davis and two other guys which I guess would be Raven and Alex.. ohh she kissed this one on this picture.. Well Raven is more handsome. I reacted on the pictures and dropped my comments. Then checked Ariana’s too. p Chatting made me feel less bored. But then my heart leaped with excitement when I heard the sound of the guitar. I dropped my phone and rushed to the window, drew the curtains and there was him, sitting on the window, with his guitar but he still wore the same clothes. I smiled as I watched him began a song. The song immediately got me. Woah!! that sweet song! he sang it last night. Gosh gosh I wanna record it. Oh my God! My phone!! I rushed back to my bed and grabbed my phone. I wanna make a video record of him and listen to his songs when I eventually leave here! But before I got back to the window, the song stopped and when I opened the curtain, he was no more there. What happened? I sighed, walked back to my bed and fell on it, wishing for sleep to come and in no time, it did. I slept off, only for me to wake up three hours later feeling another round of hunger. I sighed and got out of the bed, took my phone and headed out to the kitchen to get something to eat. * I opened the fridge and was suprised to see three toasted breads and mayonnaise. But I didn’t see them when I opened the fridge in the morning. Maybe my eyes didn’t go there. I waved that off and grabbed the plate of toasted bread and mayonnaise, then settled on the kitchen counter to eat, not bothering to take them to the dinning table. * Soon I was done eating.I carried the plates to the kitchen and heaped them together with the other unwashed plates. Just as I came out from the kitchen, the doorbell rang, I glanced at the wall clock and it said ‘2:30pm’ Must be aunt Kiki. And wait! I thought she said the girl, Rose is gonna come. Whatever! I walked to the door and opened it. aunt Kiki. “Isa dear, Rose told me she came knocking but you didn’t answer.” she said immediately. I raised my brows, “I heard none of the knocks.” “Really?” she said as she walked in and closed back the door. I rolled my eyes, “Yeah. I had a long nap.” “Oh she said she did ring the doorbell for a really long time.” she said. I arched my brow. If she did rang the doorbell for a long time then that should have woken me up from sleep. I ain’t such a deep sleeper. “ I really don’t know what happened. I guess I was too deep in my sleep.” I said, quite bewildered. First, I woke up quite early in the morning when im not supposed to. Then the headache stopped just after I splashed water on my face and brushed. Then I slept so deeply that I wasn’t awoken by the doorbell rings. Im confused. “It’s okay. I hope you ate the toasted bread and mayonnaise in the fridge?” “Yes I did.” I said. “And you washed the plates after right?” she asked with her eyes on mine. I rolled my eyes, “Ofcourse not. I can’t do that.” I said. She smiled, “You’ll have to do that Isa. Now go to the kitchen and wash the dishes.” she said. “Im not!” I snapped and headed upstairs. “Isa!” she called. “Isabel come back here!” Ignored her and went into my room and locked the door. I layed down on my bed and decided to read a wattpad novel but just as I was about logging in, the strings sound of his guitar came on and his voice sang out. I smiled. He’s back. I walked to the window to see him. Waoh he’s so cute.. but why is he still in the same clothe? is he that poor to wear just one clothe for a whole day? Soon he was done with the short song, and started ‘Bittersweet Me’ I felt so excited. That was the song I so badly wanted to record. I clicked on my phone screen only to find it switched off. I didn’t switch it off! how the hell did it switch off? I tried switching it on but it wasn’t responding. While I kept trying, he stopped singing and I looked up to see he isn’t there anymore. I breathed out. Now what the hell is wrong with this damn phone! I walked out from the window and just as I sat on the bed, my phone switched on. Waohh.. Seriously, this is crazy! * * * Night came and aunt Kiki’s kids left. I was in my room. I didn’t go to see them but I know when their parents came to take them. And an hour later after, I felt hungry and walked out to eat. I met aunt Kiki sitting at the couch in the sitting- room, going through some books I guess would be her kids work books. She looked up at me, “Isa you didn’t come to see my kids.” she said. “I was busy.” I said. “It’s okay. Your dinner is there on the dinning. Don’t forget to wash the dishes after.” he said and I breathed out. * After eating, I carried the plates to the kitchen and dropped them with the other unwashed ones. There were quite much. This is gonna be the first time for me to wash plates. My face twisted in both horror and anger as I picked up the first plate and took the foam to wash. The plates felt heavy and slippery in my hand… I picked up the next plate but it was so heavy and slippery that it fell outta my hand and landed on the tiled floor but seriously! it didn’t break. Astonishingly it didn’t. How the hell did this happen? Woahh. I bent and picked up the plate, inhaled and went on with the washing. . |

My Indoor Holiday ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ . Written by Rejoice . Chapter 4 ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ The sound of his guitar and his singing woke me up again.. I checked the time and it’s 3am. I thought of not going to the window but just lay down and listen to his songs.. but I couldn’t help it. I was craving to see his face even though he was far. I wish I could meet him soon before I leave here. I got up from the bed and went over to the window, drew the curtains and saw him. Seriously why is he still in the same clothes? I sighed and watched him singing. I can’t believe im having thougts of meeting him and telling him how good he sings. I kept watching him sing till I got tired of standing and drew close the curtains, walked back to my bed and layed back. While still listening to his songs, I fell back asleep. * * Morning came and I woke up by the knocking on my door. I sighed. “Isa wake up.” aunt Kiki’s voice came behind the door. “Why!” I snapped. “It’s morning and im off to work.” she said. I rolled my eyes, “Bye.” “You should make yourself a coffee for breakfast.” she said. I frowned, “I can’t make coffee.” “Bye Isa dear and don’t forget to tidy up the house ok.” she said and then she walked away. I sighed. Who is gonna tidy up whatever!! Seriously, this is really annoying and unbearable! I hissed and grabbed my phone and typed on the google search. ‘How to make a coffee drink.’ 1. Heat up a cup of water.. 2. Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of instant coffee into a mug.. 3. Dissolve the coffee with a table spoon of cold water.. 4. Pour the hot water into the mug. And so on.. I sighed and decided to eat bread and jam. I walked out, downstairs and to the kitchen. I walked to the fridge, opened it and grabbed a bread and jam. I dropped it on a counter and went for a bread knife and saucer. * * After I was done eating, I was exhausted to wash the plates.. and wait! did aunt Kiki tell me to tidy up the house? Never going to be possible. I can accept to wash the plates.. but never gonna try this shit of cleaning this damn house. Never! I walked out and then upstairs to my room. I even feel sleepy. Maybe I coud shower and sleep awhile then wake up and call Katy. Ahhh dad said he was gonna call me!! but he still haven’t! Im just gonna deal with him when I go back! Opening the door, I was beyond shocked to see him… The guitar guy at the next house window. He was standing close to my window with his guitar in his hand. His look was stoic and we were just staring at each other. I was shocked and confused. “How did. did you.. get here? Wait aunt Kiki closed the door and im sure I locked the door when she did.” I said, my mind racing to when aunt Kiki left for school. I was still in bed when she did, then when I came down I sure forget to go lock the door. “You didn’t.” he said. I shook my head, “Even if I didn’t. Why the hell did you come in without ringing the doorbell?” I asked. He shrugged, “Because the door opened before I thought of doing that.” he said. My jaw dropped at his stupid lie.. “Such a lie. And you couldn’t even stay at the sitting-room, you walked all the way into my bedroom. What do you want.” I said. He smiled. Goshh he’s cute. “I can’t believe you’re seeing me.” he said. I narrowed my eyes, “What do you mean?” He came nearer to me, staring into my eyes and mine to his. I wasn’t seeing the image of me in his eyeballs. Why? “You’ve been listening to my songs from your window. I’ve been seeing you.” he said. “So? that doesn’t answer my question” I said. “Im also aware that you’ve been admiring me.” he said. I arched my brow, “How did you know?” “Because.. because.” he paused. “Because of what?” I asked. He pushed his hair back and that made him appear really handsome. “seriously I was astonished when I felt eyes on me. And scanning around for those eyes, I saw it was yours. A girl’s eyes living inside this house. Are you new here? and why do you see me?” All he said made no common sense to me. I got nothing. “Ain’t you a human? why are you asking me sich a question.” I asked and my question got me frightened. Is he a human? “I don’t know.” he said and I frozed. “What the hell do you mean?” I asked, and began moving backwards. But he started coming slowly forward too. My beating stopped as great fear caught me. “Do you remember waking up so early? do you remember having a deep sleep that the doorbell couldn’t wake you up? do you remember wanting to record me singing but your phone switched off and couldn’t switch on. Do you remember the ceramic dish falling last night but didn’t break? do you?” he asked and my back landed on the door. I couldn’t move back anymore and he also stopped abit away from me. I began scampering with my hand for the doorknob but couldn’t find it even though it was supposed to be right here. “Who.. who the hell are you?” I asked as tears hurriedly gathered in my eyes. I was dying with fright. He sighed, “Im Henry Leone.” he said. “What are you!” I yelled. “I was a human just like you six years ago but they say that im dead five years now.” he said and my heatbeat ceased. I shut my eyes tight and screamed. “Ahhhhh” “Ahhhhh ghost. oh ghost. you are a ghost. aunt Kiki!!! ghost Jesus Christ. Ghost!! oh my God, please don’t hurt me, I beg you.” I cried with tears pouring down and my heart beating loudly and fast, my hands, my legs and my lips shaking. “No no no, you don’t need to be scared of me Isabel.” he said and I shook my head swiftly. He even know my name. He’s a ghost. A ghost is standing here. “Ahhhhhhhhhh” “Ahhh im dead!!” I screamed. “Please open your eyes, im not harmful. I wouldn’t have disturbed you if you weren’t seeing and hearing me like everyone is. Im suprised that you are and I believe there’s a reason why you do Isabel.” he said with a voice so calm. I finally found the doorknob and grabbed it tightly. Im going to open this door right now and dash off. “Just open your eyes and look at me.” he said but I shook my head. “Pls.” he said. “No!! I don’t wanna look at you! Go away right now! please..” I cried. “But I can’t. You caused this for me, first you are seeing me, secondly you love me.” “I don’t love you. Never!” I yelled. “Okay, fine but you have a crush on me.” he said and giggled. I sighed. My eyes still shut. “You love my songs.” he said. I moved a little forward, so I could open the door, I did but the door refused to open. There’s no reason to be confused about this. It’s him. I breathed out and opened my right eye. He was standing inches away from me with his brown eyes looking into mine. I looked away. “Please don’t look into my eyes. Yours are scary.” I said. “Open the other one too, im not a monster or a vampire. Im only a ghost.” he said and I swallowed. “Open the door, get away from my room and never come back I beg you” I said with my lips shaking. I was sweating furiously. “And I told you Isabel, that I can’t leave you again till you calm down and hear my story, and we could know the reason why you can see me.” he said. “I don’t wanna listen to you. You are dead, why don’t you go to ghosts like you and talk with them. Im not a ghost. Im human, I don’t see ghosts, im not a sorceress. Oh God, im dreaming!! this is not happening.” I wept, still clutching on the doorknob. “But you are seeing me when you are human. It shows that you alone can help me. I’ve been wishing for something like this for five years now, thank you so much for coming here.” he said. “I have no idea why im seeing you. I have nothing to do with spirits, just go away from me please. Ahh!!” “I wish I can but it’s not possible Isabe–.” he was cut short by the doorbell ring. He glanced into my eyes, then down at the door, then in another second, he wasn’t there again. He disappeared!! I screamed in horror and dashed out of the room. Ran downstairs and over to the door still screaming with shaking fright. I opened the door and it was a girl with brown fringe hair braided in pigtails. Must be the Rose. She widened her eyes at me, “Are you alright? I heard you screaming.” she said. I couldn’t hide it. I “There’s a…a” then what happened next, I heard no slightest idea. I saw myself rolling in a dark tunnel with dim colourful little lights rolling with me too.. I wasn’t screaming, I just kept rolling. Then the next, was seeing myself back again, standing at the door but there was no Rose again. What happened ?? What the hell happened to me! “Im sorry about that.” I heard his voice behind me. I gasped with fright and turned to see him looking at me with dull ‘sorry’ eyes. His guitar still with him. I began moving backward but then I slipped and was falling but got hung in the air and something pushed me up to my feet. I have no idea what force was that but I know it was his handwork. I placed my hands on my fast beating chest. “What did you do? Where is Rose?” I asked. “You wanted to tell her about me but I can’t let you.” he said. “Why!” I asked. “Cos it have to be just between us. Even if another person got to know about it, then it have to be someone that would understand. That girl wouldn’t believe you nor understand anything.” he said. “Where is she?” I asked. “I went into you.” he said. My jaw dropped. “You did what!!” I screamed. He licked his bottom lips and scratched his hair like he doesn’t get what im asking, “Well, I did just so you can say something else to her than telling her you saw a ghost.” he said. “And then?” I was eager. I just hope she’s safe! “I made you tell her that you weren’t screaming and that you don’t need any disturance. That you wanna be alone, so she left.” he said. I gasped but relieved that she left safely. “Hope you didn’t hurt her!” I asked. He licked his lips, “I don’t hurt people. Im not a wolf nor a vampire.” he said. I breathed, “I don’t really know what you want from me.” I said. “Your listening ears and your help.” he said. “How im I to help a ghost? seriously I wonder why im seeing you! it horrifies me.” I said. He smiled.. Gosh his smile is amazing. Stupid me.. Im crushing on a ghost! A ghost! “You see, you have a crush on me.” he said with a giggle. “How the hell did you know?” I asked. “You said it within you. In your heart.” he said. I breathed out, “See Harry or what’s your name.” “Henry” he said. “Henry, I think Im not scared of you anymore but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go away from me. Stop frightening the hell outta me.” I said. “But you said you ain’t scared of me anymore. I was already jumping up.” he said, laughing. “Your aunt will soon be home.” he said. I quickly glanced at the wall clock, ’12:03pm’ Time went so fast. “How did you know?” I asked him with a narrowed eyes. He shrugged with a smile. That killer smile of his. “Answer me.” I said. “Im a gho–” he stopped and peered looked innocently into my eyes. I guess he could feel my fear start up again at that word ‘ghost’ “Im sorry.” he apologised and made to come closer. “Don’t even!” I snapped. He stopped. “Can I help you with the tidying of the house?” he asked. I raised my brows at him, “You know everything happening in here. Are you a pock nosing ghost?” He smiled. “I started watching you immediately I realized that you can see and hear me.” he said. I swallowed. “You’ve been watching me while I sleep and take my shower?” I asked. He smiled and then licked his bottom lips. I breathed out. “You are nothing but a mischievous spirit.” I said. “I can never watch you while you take your bathe. Anyways what haven’t I seen?” he chuckled. “You can’t see mine!” I snapped. “Yeah I know. Wow I just want us to be like this. Im happy you ain’t scared of me anymore. Now lemme start by helping you out in tidying up the house.” he said and turned to head to.. to the kitchen. “Wait! where are going?” I asked. He stopped. “Let’s start with the kitchen” he said. “Wait, how will it feel talking to you when my aunt is around?” I asked. He scratched his hair, “It will look weird and funny to her. She’d think you’ve gone crazy, talking to nobody.” he said and I gasped. huh! He shrugged, then started walking towards the kitchen. My eyes fell on his legs and I saw that his feet wasn’t touching the ground. I swallowed. Seriously, i’ve been seriously talking with a ghost. But im not really scared anymore. Why? Gosh! why im I even seeing a ghost! Im I a ghost too? No stupid me, im not! This is the weirdest dream I’ve ever had! read more episode here: https://www.emperorblog.com.ng/?s=my+indoor+holiday |
Re: My Indoor Holiday by Nobody: 11:23am On Jun 12, 2019 |
My Indoor Holiday ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ . Written by Rejoice . Chapter 5 ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ It took me fifteen minutes to make up my mind and get the courage and boldness to head to the kitchen. With slow and careful steps, I walked to the kitchen, peeping in, He was facing the counter. My eyes fell on his feet. It’s so true, he’s feet are a bit up from the floor. “Finally you are here.” he said without turning. I breathed out, “How did you know im here?” He then turned and smiled. “I feel you.” he said. “Is that the way you feel other people too?” I asked. “Yeah, but yours is so strong. Like we have a strong connection.” he said. I swallowed, “How did you die?” “I have no idea but I remember before I became a spirit, I kissed Juliet for the first time.” he said. “Who’s Juliet?” I asked. “My girlfriend.” he said. “That was five years ago right? so how old were you then?” I asked. “Eighteen.” he said. “That means you are twenty-three now?” “Maybe but Im still eighteen now, you can see.” he said. “Yeah.” I muttered. “Your your feet don’t touch the floor.” I said. He shrugged, “Do you really have to ask about everything? im a gho–” he paused. I breathed out then looking around the kitchen, I found out that the kitchen has been all tidied up. Woah. “That was fast.” I said. He smiled, “Yeah.” “How did you do it? they were heap of plates and the counter and the floor was too dirty.” I said. He smiled. I guess he got a thing for smiles. “Yes I do.” he said with a wider smile. “Huh?” I raised my brow. “I love smiling alot.” he said. “Stop reading my mind Henry.” I said. He twisted his lips in a funny way, “I can’t.” “Just try!” I said. “Don’t just think of bad things.” he said and giggled. I instantly wanted to tell him ‘Bleep you’ but realizing he’s a ghost, I didn’t. “Say it if you want to. I ain’t gonna hurt you. I’ve never hurt anyone not even when I was alive.” he said. I sighed. He’ll always keep reading my mind. He smiled. “Watch this.” he said. Then his eyes went to the mopping stick and shockingly, it began walking towards. “What the Bleep!” I screamed and ran backwards. “Nothing to be scared of.” he said as the mopping stick began mopping the kitchen floor by itself. I watched it with wide eyes and lips agape. He glanced at me with a smile, then looked at the mopping stick and it stopped mopping, paused then fell down. I placed my hand on my beating chest. “Now I know the reason behind the plate that fell but didn’t break.” I said and he laughed. “Won’t you thank me?” he said. I stared at him.. “Fine, don’t bother.” he said and went for his guitar laying on the small kitchen seat. “Well thanks. If you hadn’t done that, I would have had to pick up the broken pieces, so much work.” I said. He smiled. “The thanks I need from you Isa, is your help.” he said. “What help?” I asked. He raised his brow, “You are serious?” “How?” “That you gonna help me.” he said. “I don’t know.” I said. “Fine, let’s tidy up the sitting-room before your aunt is back.” he said and walked out. Phewww! im hungry. I picked up the bucket with the mopping stick and walked out too. I just have to accept that im gonna become a friend with a ghost and there’s nothing im gonna do about it. Maybe im a ghost too. * I got to the sitting-room and he was standing close to the TV, staring at the picture frames on the wall. “Regina.” he muttered and I raised my brows. “You know her?” I asked. “Ofcourse. She was my classmate and a friend to..” he paused and turned to me. “A friend to who?” I asked. “Elizabeth, younger sister to my girlfriend.” he said. I raised my brows with widened eyes, “Really?” “She’s not dead.” he said. “Why do you say so?” I asked and stepped closer, not minding if he’s really a ghost. “If she is, I’do see her spirit. I think she’s captured.” he said. “Captured? for three years now, by who?” “I have no idea.” he said. “But you are a ghost, you should know everything.” I said. “Not everything that I’ll know Isa.” he said. I inhaled, “But what happened after you kissed Elizabeth sister?” He shook his head, “I don’t kow. I think I collapsed or something.” he said. “And what does your mind tell you?” I asked. “I feel that I am not really dead. I feel that my soul and body is being tied somewhere while my spirit is left to wander about and that spirit is I here.” he said. “Don’t you think Juliet is behind this?” I said. He looked into my eyes and I quickly looked away. “Yes I think. And I also think Elizabeth is behind Regina’s lost.” he said. I glanced at Regina’s pictures. She look so beautiful, with such a pretty smile. “So what do we do?” I asked. “I’ve tried so many times to get into the house of the Holloways but I couldn’t. Im bind from passing into the house. I can’t get through. When ever I try to get close, there’s like a wall that holds me back. I can’t pass through.” he said. “Why? and who are the Holloways?” I asked. “Juliet Holloway and Elizabeth Holloway.” he said. “Really?” I breathed. They sure got a thing to do with his death and Regina’s. “Yes Isa and that is why I’ve been wishing to meet someone who sees me. And now you came, you are my hope Isabel. You have to help me please.” he said. “In what way?” I asked. “In getting into the Holloways house and finding my body.” he said. I gasped and shook my head, “I can’t do such Henry. It’s too dangerous for me.” I said. “Isa please you’ve got to do it. You are my only hope.” he begged. “They could kill me or capture me too.” I said. “They won’t get you. We gonna plan it perfectly so well and nothing is gonna happen to you.” he said. I inhaled as so many thoughts raced through my mind. What im I really thinking of doing? Help a ghost? How possible im I to do that? Gosh I can’t do this. “I can’t help you Henry, im sorry.” I said. He grabbed my hand and a shiver of cold and fright ran through me. “Must you hold me!! oh God!” I shouted. His hand felt so cold. He quickly left it.“Im sorry.” he said. I shifted away. “Gosh! that scared me. Your hand is so cold.” I said. “Yeah im sorry.” he said. “Henry I can’t help you.” I said. “You have to..” “Im hungry” I said and walked away towards the kitchen. “I feel your aunt on her way home.” he said. “Then you should leave before she do.” I said and finally walked into the kitchen. Grabbing a plate of mayonnaise from the fridge, I brought out sandwich, and walked to the counter, took out a tray and placed the sandwich on it, then poured the mayonnaise on top. Great I can do this. “Not that way.” I heard his voice behind. I turned to see him shook his head. “Then what way?” I asked. “You got it tho.” he giggled. “Stop playing with me!” I snapped. “I guess you are from a wealthy home.” he said. I cut from the sandwich to eat. “My dad is Logan Dalton, ever heard of the name?” I asked. “Yeah. Regina do talk about him then, she said he’s not really a good uncle to her and her mom.” he said and I raised my brows. “Really?” “Yeah, if aunt Kiki got such a wealthy brother, then she shouldn’t be living in this cracked upstair nor in this part of new york.” he said. “But dad.. dad said he was always nice to aunt Kiki.” I said. “Maybe.” he shrugged. “You wanna eat?” I asked. He chuckled, “Really? I’ve not tasted meals nor water for five years now.” he said. “Oh.. I almost forgot who you are.” I said then I gasped when I recalled something. “Guess what?” I yelled. “I know already, you’ve not had your bathe.” he said. “Yeah and aunt Kiki would soon be home.” I said and hurriedly finished up the remaining sandwich. “Go bathe, I’ll wash the dish.” he said. “Thanks.” I said and ran off upstairs to my bedroom. Opening my door, I was shocked to see him sitting on my bed, grinning. “Henry! stop scaring me.” I said. “I first youuuu.” he said with a wider grin. I sighed, “So fast. You should, im not a ghost.” I said and he giggled. I walked to my closet and pulled the door open to reveal my tons of eye catching clothes. I pulled out a pink flair, short dress with a turtleneck. Then when I went for my undies, but recalled Henry is there with me. I turned to him. “Okay Henry, you should leave. I wanna bathe.” I said. He smiled and pushed his hair back and licked his lip. “Alright.” he said and stood up from the bed. “Don’t be scared when I disappear.” he said. “I’ve seen you do.” I said. “But you were frightened.” he said. “Just go now, I’ve gotta bathe before aunt Kiki gets back.” I said. He smiled, “Fine, but Isa, damn you are so beautiful.” he said. I raised my brows at him, not knowing what to say. He pushed his hair back and blinked his eyes. “Can we be friends?” he said. I chuckled, “NO.” I said. “Why? cos im a ghost?” he asked. “Oh just leave Henry!” I half yelled. He giggled, “Alright. See you soon.” he said and before I could tell him not to come back again, he vanished. I screamed. So scary!!!! He reappeared instantly. “What?” he said. “Ahhhh!” I screamed again. He giggled, “Thought you ain’t scared of me anymore!” he said. “Go!” I yelled.. He smiled, then turned and headed to the door, he got to the door and paused, “Let me use this then.” he said and then passed through the door. I held my chest. Well this one is quite better. I sighed and turned back to my closet, picked up a pink pantie and dropped it together with the dress on the bed, then headed to the bathroom. While I had my bathe, I couldn’t keep my mind off from the help Henry want from me… Seriously Im so scared! I can’t go to the Holloways or whatever! but my bewilderment was on why I have to be seeing a ghost! do I have any connection with ghosts! Ohh.. but I remember..when I was a kid, I sometimes wish to see a mermaid. Yes a mermaid but not a ghost! But can I really help Henry? I don’t know.. but he’s so cute! and his smile. Arggh! Im going insane! This was all my dad’s fault! I want to yell at him that he brought me to a ghosts filled place!! but im sure Henry won’t let me. I sighed. * Few minutes later, I was out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body and a smaller one tied around my head. I walked to the small dressing table and proceeded to cream my body. After which I pulled into the pantie and the dress. Then walked back to the dressing table to comb my hair. “Let me help you.” Henry’s voice came behind me. I immediately turned to see him standing just close behind me. He twisted his mouth in that funny way and that made me chuckle but then I frowned immediately. “Im not done dressing yet! Why can’t you announce yourself before dashing into a female’s bedroom!” I said. He shrugged, “I knew you were done so I came in.” he said. “You what? how? were you watching me bathe?!” I half yelled. “No. I felt it.” he said. I breathed out and turned back to the mirror. Wait! he isn’t appearing in the mirror. I glanced back and he was there, staring at me. “Huh?” he said. I turned back to the mirror, he still wasn’t appearing. “Don’t be suprised. Ghosts don’t appear in the mirror.” he said. I swallowed, “Okay.” “Your aunt is back.” he said, and just immediately, I heard the sound of her car. I stood up and made to the door. “You should leave.” read full story here: https://www.emperorblog.com.ng/?s=my+indoor+holiday ann2012 lightqueen izaray |

My Indoor Holiday ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ . Written by Rejoice . Chapter 6 ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ I opened the door and aunt Kiki jaw dropped immediately. She walked in, closing the door. “Isa what did I hear?” she said. “what aunt?” I asked, looking at her. “That you sent Rose away when she came to stay awhile with you.” she said. I sighed. I’ve no idea how to explain. “Aunt Kiki, you see I was angry then, I needed to be alone.” I said. “She said you were screaming.” I sighed. That girl must be weird mouth. I’d wish to see her right now and smatch those lips of hers. What do I explain? “I was–” I got cut short by Henry, appearing beside me. I breathed out. This guy’s so stubborn. “Im not. Just tell her you hit your hand at the stair rail, it was so painful.” he said. I inhaled. “Isa!” aunt Kiki called. “Yes, I hit my hand on the stair rail, it was so painful.” I lied. She gasped as her eyes fell on my hands. She came to take my hand and I let her. “Where exactly Isa? it must have really hurt. Did it bleed?” she asked, scanming my hands. “No it didn’t bleed. Im fine now.” I said. She smiled and touched my forehead. “Are you feeling weak? do you wanna take drugs?” she asked. I glanced at Henry and he was smiling. “The sitting-room is looking so sparkling.” she said. I looked around. Okay I recall not cleaning the sitting-room cos I went straight to the kitchen to eat. I glanced at Henry. He giggled. “When did you do this?” I asked him before realizing it. He gasped and I tightened my lips in a shiver, then turned to aunt Kiki. “When did I do what?” she asked with raised eyebrows. My eyes fell on the new curtains “When did you change the window curtains.” I said. “Oh that was yesterday.” she said. “Alright.” I said and breathed out. She walked pass and headed upstairs. “I don’t have home lessons with the kids today, im heading to church.” she said. “Today isn’t sunday.” I said. She laughed, “Oh Isabel, we don’t go to church only on sundays, we have a midweek worship with God. Go dress up. You’re going with me.” she said. I rolled my eyes. “I don’t want to.” I said. Henry giggled and I shot him a glare. “Ofcourse you will. Go now.” “I didn’t come with church clothes.” I said. “Oh come with me then, I’ll give you one.” she said and finally walked up. I sighed. “Great. It’s been ages I went to church.” he said. “Ofcourse, Spirits don’t go to church.” I said then caught my breath. Im so stupid. aunt Kiki might hear me. He giggled. “You musn’t talk when I do.” “Why won’t I!” I said and gasped again, clutching my hands to my mouth. He shrugged, “Keep talking then.” he said. “Isa! come on… hurry up, im almost done.” aunt Kiki shouted from the upstair. I rolled my eyes. “I don’t like going to church. I rather be at the beach with my friends.” I said. “Oh I was so better than you. When I was human. I never miss church.” he said. “Even on a wednesday?” I said. “Yeah, it’s called Midweek service. My dad was a Deacon in St. Andrew’s Anglican church.” he said. “So where is he now? Your parent?” I asked. He sighed, “I don’t know. I’ve not seen them for five years now, ever since I became a ghost.” he said. “Really?” I asked. “Yeah.” he said. I breathed out and headed to the staircase. He followed behind me. “You should go, im going to dress up.” I said. “I know.” he said. “Then why following me!” I snapped. “Shh your aunt is coming.” he said and I inhaled. When I turned she came out in flair flowery gown that reached below her knees, a red hat and red shoes. She slapped her forehead at seeing me. “You ain’t dressed yet Isabel. Come on, I’ll give you a sweet looking dress.” she said and took my hand, pulling me along. * When we entered her room, I saw a pink nice gown laying on her bed with creamy hat and flat shoes. I turned back to check if Henry followed us but he didn’t. “You like it?” she asked. “Yeah, it’s pretty but how did you get it.” I asked. She smiled. “It was a dress I bought for Regina on the day she got lost in the ocean. She loved pink just like you do too, but after buying it and getting home, I was welcomed with the horrifying news of my daughter’s lost.” she said and a tear almost dropped from my eyes but I blinked it back in. “But.. but I don’t wanna wear it, it’s meant for her.” I said. She smiled, “It’s okay, you just have it.” she said. I picked the dress with a smile, then walked to the closet and hung it back in. Then did same to the hat and shoes. “Isa… why that?” she asked. “It’s not mine aunt. It’s okay, im gonna search through my closet for a dress.” I said. She smiled and stared amazingly at me as I walked out. Gosh tears almost dropped from my eyes. Such a painful news! I really want to do this now, if not for anything but for my cousin. Maybe she isn’t really dead. Maybe the Holloways captured her like Henry said. I really wanna do this but im scared. I pushed open my bedroom door to see Henry standing beside my bed and a royal blue dress with strap sleeves. “Cool right? wear it.” he said. “How did you find this dress? did you search my closet?” I asked and picked up the dress. It’s cool for it. “Yeah.. Didn’t want you stressing yourself.” he said. “Well thanks,” then I paused and narrowed my eyes at him. “Did you stare at my undies!?” I asked him. He twisted his lips. “Maybe a little.” he said. I raised my brows,.“What!?” “I never wanted to but my stupid eyes went there. Okay I apologise.” he said. I rolled my eyes and headed to the bathroom. “I don’t wanna find you still here when im out.” I said and slammed the bathroom door shut. Crazy! * * I came out of the bathroom in my towels, and Thank goodness, he wasn’t in. I dressed up and combed my hair to fall over my shoulders. Then I applied a little mascara and pink lipgloss. Then slide my feet into my cute yellow sandals. I picked up my yellow purse and my phone and just as I was about going for the door, he appeared in. “Woah!” he breathed out, staring at me. “What?” I asked. “You are amazingly beautiful.” he said. “Thanks.” I said and grabbed the doorknob. “Can I come with you?” he asked. “No.” I snapped. He smiled, “Alright, bye. Pray for me.” he said. “You don’t expect me to pray for a ghost.” I said. “Oh that was harsh Isa.” he said. “Im going, gonna pray for you tho.” I said and chuckled. He smiled. He’s so handsome. “Isa, who are you talking with?” I heard aunt Kiki’s voice on the door. I gasped and opened the door to see her now clutching a red handbag. “No one aunt. I was on a phone call.” I said,“with my girlfriend.” I added. She smiled, “One of them that your dad don’t want you with?” she asked. “Kinda.” I said and she smiled. “Let’s go.” she said and turned. I glanced back to see Henry smile. “Bye.” he said, smiling. “Yeah.” I mumbled and walked out, shutting the door. * * (at church) ﹏﹏﹏﹏ Praise my soul, the King of heaven.. ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ The hymn played as aunt Kiki aunt and I entered the large church with long red carpet from the entrance door up to the alter. aunt Kiki sat at an empty pew and I did beside her. When the hymn was over and the second hymn was called, I looked behind to see Henry, sitting on the pew behind ours, smiling at me. Somehow, I knew he was gonna come. But wait? I thought ghosts should be scared of being in the church? I turned back to watch the choristers, singing. Im not gonna act like he’s here.. * * * “Wow great! today’s midweek service was awesome. Right Isa?” aunt Kiki asked as we entered the sitting-room. “Maybe.” I said with a roll of my eyes and walked up into my room. Im exhausted. I wonder how Henry disappeared. I changed into a bomshort and singlet, then layed on my bed to go through my phone. Just then my window curtains blew and I turned to see Henry standing at the window. He smiled. “How was church?” he asked. I rolled my eyes, “Like you weren’t there. huh!” He smiled..“Sure.” “I thought ghosts doesn’t go to church.” I said. He shrugged, “I don’t think. I did today and nothing happened.” he said. “So tell me Isa, have you made up your mind?” “About what?” I asked. “About helping me and your cousin as well.” he said. I inhaled. “Henry, It’s so hard for me to accept. I know I wish to help you find yourself, your body and im sure it’ll be in the Holloways but me going there, I don’t wish to meet such people.” I said. He came forward and tried to hold me again but I backed away. “Don’t. Your hand is so cold.” I said. He sighed, “If you don’t help me Isa, then im lost forever. I would never find out what really happened to me and also my parents.” he said. I sighed. “Also your cousin, Regina. Im sure she’s not dead. You have to help us all.” he said. I stared at him, his sadness was really melting my heart. “But im not so strong to do this.” I said. “You are Isa, just believe that you are. You can do it.” he said. I sighd, “Even if I want to, then I have to let my aunt know about it..I have to open up to her.” I said. “It’s okay.” he said and smiled sweetly at me, staring deeply at me. “What?” I asked. “Just staring at you, that’s all.” he said. “Then don’t. That’s pretty scary.” I said. He widened his smile, “You are so beautiful Isa.” he said and tried to touch my hair. “Don’t!” I hurled. He giggled. “Isa” I heard aunt Kiki’s call me at the door. I sighed. “Another coming lie.” Henry said. “You’ve been making m–” but he cut me short. “You stop talking.” I sighed. Im sure going to tell her anyways. He smiled. “She might not believe you.” he said. Im not gonna tell her now. “When then?” he asked. When I’ve made up my mind to. I walked to the door and opened it. She smiled, “Heard you talking, you were on a phone call right?” she asked. “Yeah” I lied. “Well wanna tell you that dinner is ready.” she said. “Alright.” I said, then glanced at Henry before walking out and closing the door. |

My Indoor Holiday ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ . Written by Rejoice . Chapter 7 ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ (Hours later) I had just finished having my night shower and pulling into my pajamas when Henry appeared in. After I went downstairs with aunt Kiki to have dinner, he hadn’t showed up but here he is again, to trouble me. “I ain’t troubling you, im only begging you to help me out here.” he said. “I told you not to be reading my mind.” I barked at him. “You shouldn’t let your voice be loud or your aunt might hear you and you’ll end up telling her another lie.” he said. “You cause them all.” I said. He shrugged, “I know.” He dropped his red guitar beside me. I felt like touching but a crazy thought came in. He chuckled, “It won’t disappear. It’s my bestfriend. When I fell inlove with the guitar and wanted to have it so much, I begged the seller not sell it out that im gonna do everything I can to bring him the money the next day. When he finally accepted, I ran home and had to borrow from my mother, then after I bought it, I gave her back the money from playing the guitar in the high streets all day though I didn’t complete the money.” he said. “Really?” I said. “Yeah.” “Can you play me the song, ‘Once upon a river flow’” I said. He chuckled, “Maybe I should play, ‘London Bridge’” I laughed. “Okay, play me my favourite song, the one I wanted to record but you didn’t let me.” I said. He smiled, “You know why I didn’t let you, cos if you do, I won’t appear in the video and even if you record only my voice, you won’t hear it after.” he said. I inhaled. Oh really. “Yeah, so im gonna play it only if you promise me this.” he said. I knew already. “Im not gonna promise you that, I need to think about it, give me awhile.” I said. He giggled, “Not that, I mean promise me you not gonna try to record it.” I chuckled. “Ah alright.” “Can I sit beside you?” he asked. I shifted a bit away. “Yeah.” I said. “but you shifted away.” “Not really.” “Yeah you did.” he said and sat down, his feet still wasn’t touching the floor. He took his guitar and played few strings. Then he began. ﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Bittersweet me… Inperfect songs… But hey, Im not minding at all. I learn from every mistakes I do.. You don’t like me, there’s someone else that do. Im not perfect, baby you are not too. But im so happy to be me all tho. They say im little but I don’t mind at all. They say im not better than they all, oh yeah. Im just trying to be me. Never wanna be anybody but me…. …… ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ “Why do you love the song, it ain’t so sweet?” he asked after he was done. I shrugged, “I guess cos it talks about yourself, about who you really are.” I said. “Yeah.” he said. “How do you get the inspirations?” I asked him. “Sometimes when im asleep, sometimes when im playing the guitar, at times when im eating, running or learning in class.” he said. Really. “Yeah.” “I think I gotta sleep.” I said. “Alright.” he said. “You should leave.” I said. He shrugged and got up from the bed. I stared at him, waiting for him to go but he wasn’t acting like he’s about to leave. “Henry what are you still waiting for?” “Are you scared to sleep while im here?” “Don’t you sleep!” I asked. “No.” he said. I sighed and pulled the duvet over my body. “Can I tell you something Isa?” he said. “What’s it?” I asked. “That.. I I..Like you alot.” he said. “You can’t like me, you are a ghost.” I said. “It doesn’t matter. I like you Isa.” he reapeated. Okay. I’ve gotta sleep. “Goodnight Isa.” he said. “Oh better.” I said. He disappeared, only for me to hear him minutes later, singing outside. ﹏﹏ Everbody’s looking for that something.. Something that makes it all..complete. You find it in the strange places,. Places you never knew it could be.. Some found it in the face of their children Some found it in.. their lover’s eyes. You can’t deny the joy it brings… When you found that special thing… You’re flying without wings…. ﹌﹌﹌﹌ I smiled.. Lovely. I fell asleep. * * * I woke up by the repeat calling of my name by a very weak voice. I was astonished to see it was Henry. His hair scattered to his face in a crazy way and I wondered why. His eyes were dull and he rested his back on my closet with his guitar in his hand. “What happened?” I asked, sitting up. “I don’t know. I felt something like electric shock last night. Like my body was being touched by something very harmful. I feel weak. I have to get to my body.” he said. I swallowed, “Gosh, what do we do?” I asked, frightened. “You’ve got to help me Isa. Find my body, release my soul.” he said. “How im I gonna do this?” I asked. “The Holloways.” he said. “The Holloways!!” I sighed. “The Holloways.” he repeated, then slumped down. I rushed to him but before I could, he disappeared. Like a smoke. That is not the way he use to disappear! and his guitar didn’t go with him. Oh my God, Henry! “Henry!!!!” I screamed out loud and fell on my knees. “Henry!!!!. Henry!!” I cried. “Isabel! Isabel Are you alright?” I heard aunt Kiki’s voice. Then followed by the opening of the door. She rushed in, to me. “Isabel what’s the matter?” she got down and hugged me tightly. “Henry..” I cried. “Henry? who’s Henry?” she said. “Henry. I have to find Henry.” I cried. “Oh my God Isabel, you are scaring the hell outta me dear child. Who is Henry?” * * * (Minutes later) “He’s a ghost.” “A ghost!?” “Yes. He’s been with me since yesterday but I met him the the very day I came here while he was singing in the night. He was the one who made me send Rose away. He’s the one I was always talking to while I tell you I was on a phone call.” I said then I took her hands with tears in my eyes. “The night I first heard him singing, I loved his songs, his songs, he’s so cute. He was sitting just right at the next house window. I had no idea he was a ghost… but when he came to me I found out, I was damn scared at first but now im not. He needs my help aunt, I need to get to the Holloways.” She blinked her eyes with shock, “Isa, don’t talk about the Holloways, they are the family of Elizabeth. They are evil, they will hurt you.” “I have to go aunt. I need to save Henry and save my niece, Regina too.” She gasped, “Regina? What do you mean?” “Henry said that she isn’t dead. That the Holloways are holding her captive. Aunt I have to do this. Im the only one who sees Henry and there’s a reason and this is the reason.” I said. She cupped my cheek in her palm. I can see the fear in her eyes just like she can see mine too. “Isabel, this was never what I and your dad planned for your indoor holiday.” she said. “I know but im glad im here, im gonna fight for my niece and for Henry. I don’t care how I do it but im gonna get into there and release them.” I said. She smiled as tears dropped from her eyes. “Then Im gonna go with you.” she said. I gasped, “Aunt.” “Yeah.” she said and hugged me. * * * Henry’s POV ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ Im weak… im being tied down in place. In this glass coldy cage. The smoke.. the fire, the sand. I need someone to take them away. I feel so weak.. I can’t use my ghost power. Im being paused like a statue. I can’t move, I can’t talk. Im being pinned down. Ohh Isabel.. I need you here. You’ve gotta save me.. Before I fade away. The long door opened and she walked in. Juliet Holloways. In a black long robe with a red thin belt tied around the stomache. Her blue eyes peering into mine as she let out a loud mockery laugh. “Ohh dearest.. Such a long time.” she said and touched her black hair which fell to her shoulders. “You never thought I could get you isn’t it?” she smiled. “Oh great I did. I caught you. I did, now I have you and your body with me. Isn’t that pleasant? ohh yeah it is. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.” she laughed out horiffically, turned and walked out, slamming shut the long door. I breathed out.. read more here: https://www.emperorblog.com.ng/?s=my+indoor+holiday |
Re: My Indoor Holiday by Nobody: 12:00pm On Jun 19, 2019 |
My Indoor Holiday ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ . Written by Rejoice . Chapter 8 (Semi-finale) ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ Isa’s POV ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ The first three Police led the front with their guns while aunt Kiki and I followed in the middle then the two other police were behind us. “I think the house got no cameras.” the second police at the front whispered. I sighed. I really didn’t want the police getting involved in this. I had wanted to do this the way I have planned but aunt Kiki insisted on involving the police. The three police ran to the wall of the house while the two others ran to the other side. I glanced at aunt Kiki and she nodded and gave me an assured and hopeful smile, then joined the other two. I inhaled and walked to the door of the Holloways, then rang the doorbell. I waited with beating heart. In few seconds, the door was opened by a girl I guess would be my age mate. Elizabeth I guess. I breathed in, appearing bold. She has long black hair that fell to her shoulder and wore a blue trouser and purple top. “Goodmorning.” I said. “Who are you?” she threw the question. I smiled, “Im a new neighbour, my name is Isabel, im just trying to make friends, can I come in if you don’t mind?” She stared at me, I guess she was trying to look into my eyes but I smiled and looked down. “Right, come in.” she said and let the door open for me. I pushed in, and just immediately the police men pushed in too with aunt Kiki. “Your hands up!!” a police man commanded. She gasped and with evil monsterious eyes at me, “Juliet!!!!” she screamed. Just immediately, Juliet landed like a wind, dressed in a black robe. The police backed away in fright but I didn’t. Im determined to get Henry and also get my cousin. “How dare you come in here.” Juliet hurled with her evil blue eyes on me and then to the rest. “I need my friends.” I said. “Ha ha ha ha.” she laughed out and drew nearer to me and I was so bold enough not to move back. “I want my daughter. Let me have my daughter back you witch!” aunt Kiki yelled beside me. “Silence!” Juliet hurled. “I don’t have your daughter and I do not have your friends.” she said. “You do! You have Regina and you have Henry!” I yelled. She moved back with an evil smile, “Oh silence.” she said. “I want my daughter Juliet!” aunt Kiki said. She smiled and looked at the police men, said a few enchant and just then a glass cage appeared and formed around them and once they cage formed, they all iced. I got frightened and aunt Kiki held my hand. Juliet laughed…. her sister followed. “What do you think you can do to me?” she said. I breathed out, “I do not wish to do anything to you, All I want is to have my friends back.” I said. “You are not gonna have them but join them as well.” she said. aunt Kiki tightened her grip on mine. I know she’s scared but it’s okay . My eyes quickly scanned the large sitting-room and I found a tiny door, then another large door and the curved staircase. “Tell me Elizabeth, what do we do to this two?” she asked her sister. “Cage them like the police forever…Make them melt like an ice do.” Elizabeth said. Juliet laughed, “No. I would take them to their beloved friends.” she said. “Okay sister, whatever you say.” Elizabeth said. Juliet smiled at me. “Do you wish to see your friends?” she said. “I don’t only wish for it, I’ll have them back!” I said. She smiled, then turned to aunt Kiki. I thought she was about saying something but she stretched out your hands, moved her fingers and my aunt screamed and fell on her knees. I dashed to the small door and pushed in with force.. I felt a force following me. I ran so hard through the dark corridor.. It was pitch dark, I can’t see anything, but I kept running, trying to find another corner.. but there was none, just then I hit my head on a hard surface, a wall. I screamed in pain and slumped down. “Oh well well well.. great. I caught ya.” I heard Juliet’s faint voice, then her laugh before I finally passed out. * * * * I opened my eyes to see myself held to the wall with my hands side by side in handcuffs like im being crucified. I winced in pain.. Looking up, I saw the long glass cage in my front. I gasped when I saw Henry in there. His face was down… His body tied. There was a small pot of little burning fire but much smoke just before the cage… but very close to the cage. “Henry.” I called but my voice wasn’t so loud. I couldn’t even hear it. “Henry!” I called louder.. now I think I heard it but he didn’t. “Henry!!” I shouted with all my strength and gasped for breath… waiting for him to look up but he didn’t. I blinked as tears rolled down my eyes. How im I gonna get away from this handcuff. I need to save you Henry. I need to save you. Please look up and tell me what to do. Henryyy But he wasn’t responding. He seem so weak.. too weak. What do I do? I looked around and there is nothing I could get hold off. They are all so far from me. No window, just a long door very far away. I sighed. Is there hope? I could only watch him… with tears. The door flung open and Juliet walked in, in her black long robe. The door automatically closed back. “Ohh pleasant pleasant. You are awake.This is so great. So you can actually see him, Isabel. Tellme, are you a sorceress?” she said coming closer to me. I ignored her, my mind only focused on how to get out of this handcuff. “Ohhh tell me Isabel.” she said. I didn’t answer. “Ohh you don’t wanna answer me, great great.” she said then laughed. She turned to Henry. “He is having a good time right?” I ignored. She moved back and fumed, “Answer me!!” she hurled and a great painful force raced through me and I screamed. “Ahhhh!” “Answer me, who are you!” she hurled. The painful force still held me and I was screaming. wild winds blew through her black hair and she stretched out her hand and a ball of fire formed on her palms. “Fee ere gue ne eta” she said and then threw the ball of fire close to my feet, it spread in semi-circle around my feet. The heat wasn’t so strong at first but then at each passing minute, the flame rised more and the heat and burn escalated. I groaned in pains. “Who are you Isabel or you are gonna get burnt in this rising flame!” she said. I winced, feeling so thirsty. My throat completely dry and sour. “Answer me!” she hurled. “Isabel Dalton..” I said. She moved backwards, “Who is your mother!” she yelled. “I don’t know. I grew up without her.” I said. “Lies!” she thundered and raised her hands to the air and the flames rised more…. I cried out.. The heat of the fire was burning me. “Who is your mother!!” she roared. “I. Have. No. Idea.” I said. “Lies!! you fool!” she hurled and raised up her hands more higher and the flames of the fire increased more. I screamed in burning pains as hot tears poured down my eyes.. my heart pounding but my breath ceasing. She held it up for a very long time then tightening her fist, the flames began going down.. And when she brought down her hands, the fire went off. I breathed out. She glanced at Henry who’s head still was down. Then she turned back to me just immediately. “You are the daughter… of Ellie.” she said. I need water. “Ellie..Ellie, you are the daughter of Ellie!!.” she yelled. “I don’t know my mother. I don’t even know her name.” I said. “She betrayed us! She betrayed my mother! She took what rightfully belonged to my mother! the crystal!” she yelled. Her blue eyes turning black.. It’s too scary, I shut my eyes. “She gave it to you… let me have it!” she said. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” I said, confused. “Finally it’s you! I found you. I foud the crystal.” she said and began coming nearer with a wicked smile. aunt Kiki’s POV ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ Im pinned down on the floor. I can’t move. I wonder if Isa is alright. God I hope so. Lord, I need you to come to our rescue. I need you end this all right now. Save us. Help me get my daughter, my niece and Henry. “Just shut up!” Elizabeth’s voice barked as she came down from the staircase. “How could you and your sister take my daughter! How could you.” I cried. “She deserves it! She won the painting competition when it was supposed to be me! I begged her to let me win. She was perfect and I wanted to make my mom and my sister proud of me too, but she refused. She won the painting game. She betrayed me!” she barked. “It was a competition. How could she withdraw for you to win. If you had put in more effort, you would have won Elizabeth.” I wept. “I don’t care!! im never gonna let her go! and you are going to join her and the rest of them as well!” she hurled before walking away. I sighed. Just then, a loud scream echoed and I gasped. “Isabel!!!!” I screamed. A force pulled me down. I gasped, realizing i’ve been released. I got up and heard cracking sounds behind. I turned to see the glass cage breaking, the ice which pinned the police men all melted and the police men rushed out, gasping and looking about in confusion. “What happened?” one asked. “Let’s find my niece!” I said and ran towards the staircase,.. The scream came from the upstairs. The police ran behind me. 2 Likes |
