Chapter 12

Now she regrets coming here to civilization, there was no place for her to lay her head. She went to sleep on the bench in the garden, only five minutes into closing her eyes, she felt something crawling on her legs, she screamed and shook it off. She couldn't take this anymore, she had to look for a way to get to her room without entering the house. She observed the walls of the house assessing if she could climb it. She usually climbed trees so this wasn't an issue for her. She decided to use the pipes as her support as she started her mission impossible. Anyone who saw her now would think she was a monkey as she swung from one pipe to another. She imagined herself in these action movies as an assassin on a mission and she giggled to herself. She was almost reaching her window balcony when all of a sudden there was a loud noise from one of the pipes. Shit! It had broken.
Scott went into his room after locking Isa outside. Let that teach her a lesson to know her boundaries around here. Of course, he wouldn't let her sleep out, it was just for some hours he wasn't that heartless. Where was Khloe anyway? She was the one supposed to be looking after the house to avoid circumstances like this but she was nowhere to be found and she didn't even tell him where she was going. He took out his cell and dialled her number, it rang but she wasn't picking up. This was already past 1 am where was she? He decided to try later as he went into the bathroom to have his bath. He was in the shower when he heard a noise from outside! Who was there? He quickly washed the soap off his face and tied a towel around his waist as he opened the bathroom window and looked outside. He saw no one, but he couldn't ignore the noise he heard so, opened the bedroom door leading to the balcony and his greatest surprise, he saw a figure hanging on one of the pipes. What the fuck? He squinted his eyes and saw the person clearly, Isa.
" Hello sir!" she grinned while holding the pipe as if her life depended on it.
" What the hell do you think you're doing Isabel?" he roared.
" Climbing" she answered.
" Get down from there immediately!" he ordered her. What the hell was she up to? Did she want to die? Kain asked himself.
" Um I can't move," she said.
" What do you mean you can't move?" he asked.
" Promise me first that you won't get mad?" she said.
" Mad about what? Get down from there Isabel! " he yelled at her this child was stubborn.
" Promise me first," she said.
He sighed " Okay I promise," he said.
" Your pipe is broken," she said and fell with a scream.

Knocks on the door and a voice calling out her name to come and open were what woke up Emily from her dreamland as she was finally able to get some sleep from yesterday's nightmare.
Her head bumped up as though she was been knocked down by a car or beaten by an angry mob.
The only thing she could remember was Georgia calling for Gina the maid to make a glass of warm milk for her to drink so as to be able to sleep.
After the milk was brought up to her room, her friend helped her to drink it all up and she decided to take her to leave so that she could rest from crying all day long.
Georgia left her room hugging her tightly and promised that she will be back the next day to check up on her.
She closed the door behind her and her friend left while she went back and laid down on her bed waiting for sleep.
As she was remembering all that, another knock followed again and this time she decided to get down from her bed and walk to her door to open up.
There she was all afraid as she had been knocking for some minutes but Emily wasn't opening.
Gina, all sweaty in a panic state pushed out a large smile of happiness as she finally realized that her mistress was just sleeping and there was no cause for alarm.
She asked Emily if there was anything she wanted for breakfast, but her response was negative as she just wanted to slide in her bed in order not to be reminded of the unfortunate scene she was living in her life.
Emily told Gina that she needed some more rest and also asked about the whereabouts of his uncle but Gina replied that her uncle had been very busy for some days now.
With a shallow smile that was as fake as that of an unsatisfied kid, she good Gina to excuse her and that if she needed anything else, she will call in her right away without any hesitation.
Gina nodded and left to her post in the kitchen and Emily went back to sleep in her bed.
She stayed in bed avoiding thinking about the unfruitful incident but rather decided to focus on a new plan of attack to get back what she wanted.
Turning on her bed as she couldn't find sleep anymore and with her heart beating in her chest, she could only think of one thing and which was to reflect on her goals and achievement in life.
And if doing that task was going to guarantee her total reinstating into her late father's company, she was going to do it again and again.
Turning from side to side with a weary soul, she went into her room and sat down on her bed, stretching her body as though she had been beaten by an evil spirit in her dream.
The seconds ticked as Emily sat up on her bed holding her head in her hands thinking of another strategy and the only one that could come to her head at that moment was to go to Blaze's house to meet and confront time.
He had played dirty and that was killing Emily in the deepest part of her heart.
Emily passed by the mirror and noticed how swollen her face had turned into, her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at the mirror looking at herself in the mirror as her eyes had changed their color and size.
They were now very big and her face was rough from crying too much. Her head asked so much though she was claiming to be strong.
When she had finished checking up all the parts of her face and body that had changed either inside, texture, or color, she walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth and shower.
As she got into the bathroom, her phone began to ring and she was forced to come out again to find out who it was that was calling.
Georgia her friend was the person who was calling her so she picked up the phone and answered,
"Hello?", her voice was not that good, but it was clearer than the previous day when she could not talk and whenever she did, her friend could barely hear what she was saying.
Georgia responded on the other side of the phone asking her friend how her night had been and if she wanted her to bring her anything when coming to see her that day.
Emily with a smile as though she was a child, she told her friend to bring whatever she found interesting.
Her friend said she will be at her house in some minutes and Emily approved it.
She walked back into the bathroom to have her bath before actually going down to wait for her friend.
