FredaMy wounds only began to heal little by little. I could walk around freely and stretch as I liked. I went about my business, I helped out in the kitchen and the cleaning of the house. Kale always made sure to come to visit me as soon as possible, it was something that he made a habit of. I enjoyed his company but I was scared that Alfred might make a fuss out of it.Recently, I moved out of the staff quarters because Alfred ordered that I stay in one of the rooms downstairs. The most important thing was that I loved my own room and anything aside from that, I wasn't interested in that. I saw this room as a fortress that keeps me hidden, especially when I do know how to handle all that is happening to me in this place. The nightmares that started happening to me ever since the night in the dungeons became worse. It was becoming more vivid by the day and it scared me. I have never had such scary dreams, it was like I was in a horror movie with no way of escaping. The pain increas
Freda"I don't understand ma'am." I stuttered. I had little or no words in my mouth. She talked as if humans were not to be residing here. It was the guts she said that with, she wasn't mincing her words. As much as I tried to understand her, there wasn't anything I could say to that because I was lost."What do you mean, you don't understand? Do you know who I am?" I shook my head. "Because the staff is quite acquainted with me." I was about to say something Alfred barged out of his office and dragged her into his office. I could finally breathe when she left, I just strolled in my own path to the room.My mind kept wondering what she said. I tried to make sense of it but it turned out that I was overthinking. There was more to these people than they are letting on. First, it was with Alfred, whom they call Alpha. Then we have the mysterious chick who thinks humans should not be staying in the mansion. I was about to open my door when I heard a familiar voice."Freda. How are y
FredaI couldn't get past the anger that was on his face. Diane hurried to his side, her hands were all over him. He was being pampered but he wasn't ready for that when his glare was fixated on me. I fiddled with my hands looking for an escape that may include a basement or a secret hideout that might keep me safe for the rest of my life. The pain in my chest became worse as I struggled to breathe, I could feel madam Katie at my side, trying to stop me from making eye contact with Alfred. I couldn't help it. It felt like I was drawn to him just by locking myself in his gaze. I wasn't giving to her nonsense, she dragged me on my knees to kneel before Alfred. My knees were scarred by my own injury as I screamed. I could feel the warm fluid trickling down my knees.Alfred looked at Diane with anger. "Go in there and move your things out of my house. Do not ever come back here." She was shocked. She opened her mouth but no words came out."You all are filthy and mean, utterly useless!" I
FredaI couldn't breathe.If I really wanted to die, I didn't want Alfred's face to be the last thing I saw. I was stationed in the darkness as he left without coming to check. I couldn't move an inch from where I sat because I felt like the darkness was swallowing me whole."Please, I'm sorry," I said in a low voice as I folded my knee to my chest. I thought of every happy memory that I could find but even when I was still at home, I was oblivious to this suffering that I was reliving, I still had little happy memories to hold on to myself. It was something I could get used to until the moment when I was tossed into the dark like a piece of trash, nothing more.It wasn't long before the door was opened and Alfred was standing there. Sophia was behind him as he gave way for her to carry me. It felt like he could hear me, was he close by? Just listening for when I was going to apologize. Everything was becoming as creepy as hell, I wanted to believe I was delusional but everything was
AlfredThere was a part of me I hated, ever since I heard about her. That part of me landed her in that dark room because of what she had done and said to me. I could have go when my wolf howled in my head. I should have let it go but I was already looking for a reason to hate her and to punish her. A new reason.I loved it and the same time hated it. I replayed the scene where I was staring at her from behind the glass as she lay there intubated, so she could breathe. My heart broke that time I saw her but I had no feelings for her whatsoever, so I didn't know why it hurt this much.Ever since then, I haven't gone to see her and I do not intend to. Although I have been by her side every night, there was still no news of when she would be awake. The doctors were still trying to run some tests but she had not woken up since she collapsed. The scans were not showing anything and it was frustrating being kept in the dark. I drowned myself with a bottle of scotch to accompany me because
FredaEverywhere felt strange, every time I looked around. The smell of antiseptic felt so bland that I felt like emptying my stomach. Apart from that, I kept having the same recurring dream, spinning in my head like vinyl. Sophia and Kale were the first people I saw and it made me happy that I wasn't alone. It felt good for the first time. I remembered everything that happened, the darkness that seemed to settle inside my head after staying in an empty room for the longest time.I felt nothing but pain because I didn't think it was going to be this bad. I just felt pain for a second and barely a day because I was used to what I had gotten from Alfred. This wasn't something I expected. There were times I heard voices but I was trapped and didn't know how to react. Sophia informed me about my response, which came in twitching or squeezing her hands. She said she knew I was going to get better. There was a part of me that wished that I was dead, I could have just passed from there but
Freda."How do you know my name?" That was my first response to his gesture. He tucked his hands back into his coat as he thinned his lips. It seemed that he expected my reaction. He was an average man, his brown hair was mixed with grey, quite elderly. From the way he spoke, it felt like he knew me and that made me scared.I wandered off into the infirmary alone and if anything happened to me out here, no one would be able to find me. I started thinking about finding my way back to where I came from, where I would be safe. Then, other people moved into the lobby, so I wasn't completely alone. Although, it was hard to trust someone around here because you could be rated out quickly without any struggle."I'm an Elderly man and words tend to go around. ""If word flew around then it is obvious that no one wants my safety. Everyone seems to want to kill me before my time. Don't you agree?" I said to him, He wondered inquisitively."I don't agree with you though. The best place you could
FredaIt's been days and my recovery has been slower than usual. The pain in my chest was slowly subsiding and there was only much I could handle. I was taking the pace as easy as I could. Although it was difficult to eat as much as I would have loved to, it wasn't easy because I was still down with a sore throat. For some reason, I wanted to see Alfred even when I knew he was going to be an ass to me, I just wanted to know he was going to be around me.The idea of being alone scared me more than anything and I just wanted to be assured. The night in the darkroom still scared the hell out of me and each time I wanted to get past it, something always took me to the dream. I was in my room eating when a knock distracted me from my thoughts."Hello." Kale peeped through the door, grinning. I grimaced not knowing what he was this excited about. I loved that I had company but I didn't know what to make of his friendship with me. It saddens me that I had nothing other than good gestures to
