The next morning Alice and Thomas woke up as they lay on the bed, their bare bodies touching each other while Thomas hugged Alice from behind, he kisses her hair and a smile creeped on Alice's lips."Good morning Beautiful." Thomas greeted, with a smile on his face. Alice turned to look at her husband."Good morning handsome." Alice replied, placing a kiss on Thomas' lips."Hmm that feels nice."Thomas said, he smiled brightly."Haha, I know right? So tell me how are you feeling this morning?" Alice asked, placing her hands on his cheek staring into his eyes with a deep smile on her face."Hmmm I feel great. I miss this." "You miss what?" Alice asked, smiling."This. I mean, I miss us like this. Yes I know we sleep together every night on the same bed, but we have never been like this for the past five years. Like waking up cuddling with our bare bodies touch each other, it is been long Alice and I miss you. I miss us and am glad my Alice is back. I mean the happy Alice I got married t
Thomas still felt weird about all what Rebecca had said earlier but couldn't say a word in order not to hurt his wife feelings but he wasn't buying Rebecca's story at all."Rebecca, I am sorry for what is happening. I wish there's a way you would let me and my wife help you. But if ever you change your mind we are always here to help. Am sorry I must leave you two. I have to get to work. And please Rebecca take care of yourself." He said turning his back and was about to head to the room, when Alice called."But.. but.. Thomas, I haven't prepared your breakfast yet." Alice sounded worried that her husband was going to work in an empty stomach."It's fine. I will manage, but just try to cheer her up. She needs you. I will go get dress for work." He gives her a loving smile."Thank you Mr Thomas. I really appreciate what you and your wife are doing for me." Rebecca said, sounding grateful."It's fine." Thomas said, and went to the room to g
Seven Months Later.The sky was bright and beautiful as always. You could hear voices around and sounds of the singing birds and joyful laughter. You could also see some men and women sitting around the table laughing, eating and drinking."Ohhh, no, I am sorry so I spilled the drink on the table. Let me clean that up.""No, no do not worry I will do that myself.""No, I insist you know you're pregnant so don't stress yourself too much.""Okay thanks. There are some towers in the cabinet you can take one from there.""Okay, thank you.""It is really nice of you people having us in your house today and the food was delicious.""Thank you so much. It is also nice having you both here Mr Morgan and Mrs Helen.""Ohh Alice what is the secret of the meal you prepared? So I can also make it at home for my husband and children.""Haha that is where you made a mistake.""Why Mr Thomas?""Because my wife here has refused to tell me the secret of the meal and I have tried in so many ways to get i
Alice walked to Rebecca with the plate of food, Rebecca smiled seeing what Alice had prepared."You still remember how to make it." Rebecca tasted the food. "Hmm.""Is it good?" Alice asked, and she widened her eyes."Hmmm much better Alice." Rebecca replied, also giving her a thumbs up."Ohh thank Goodness." Alice exhaled touching her chest."So tell me what I have been doing since I left.""Well nothing much. The kingdom has been busy lately. I have been having alot of customers to deal with.""Hmm that is nice.""Rebecca." Alice called in a low tone. "Why didn't you send me later as we agreed before you left. Do you know how worried I have been?""Am sorry Alice. I had to be very careful over there.""I understand. So how have you been? I mean, are those men still after you?""No they are not. I have been very careful not to let them know where I live now.""Okay that is great. How long do you plan on staying here?""Just for today, I plan on leaving at sunset.""Wow that is fast I
"I do not need your likeness and I definitely do not need you or your stupid friendship. I also regret ever meeting you." She said harshly."Hmm. You better " Rebecca said with anger.Feeling void of emotions, she screamed. "Get out of my house!!" She exclaimed while pointing to the door.Rebecca smirked as she walked passed her. She leaned closer to her and Alice bend back slightly in bewildered state."See you in hell." She whispered before walking out.Alice was fazed for a while she snapped her head to the door and rushed to it as she looked outside to scream at Rebecca, but shockingly Rebecca was nowhere to be seen.This frightened her and she screamed in frustration."Ahhh....!" She screamed, pain piercing her stomach.She fell to the ground in pain."How could you Rebecca? How could you be like all of them? I thought you were different?" She spoke as stream of tears flow down her eyes. "You are just like all of them."Alice kept crying for a while until she finally fell asleep o
"Hmmm Thomas it hurts..ahhh... Thomas rub on my back, please the pain is much.""Okay, fine seat here. Wait, let me get someone to help us.""Thomas please be fast. I can't take it anymore, it hurts alot." "Am sorry my love." Thomas turned his gaze to someone walking towards Their way. "Sir sorry my wife is in pain and the physician can't assist us, please can you help me get her home so I can look for someone else to help her with the pain.""Sure, no problem, actually I have a carriage outside so you both can ride with me, it will be a lot faster that way.""Oh, Thank you so much sir." Thomas breathed in relief."You're welcome."Thomas took his wife home with the help of the gentleman but Alice was still battling with the pain she was feeling.They got home and Thomas sat her down.Alice's gaze went down her feet as her eyes widened in shock and she screamed in pain. "Thomas. Thomas waited. Thomas what is this? What is happening to me?" She added in fear."What is that? Oh my God.
"Alice!! Alice!!. Alice what is wrong? Alice, please talk to me. Alice, you are not saying anything. Alice please talk to me, my love I have seen someone he said he is coming. Honey please stay with me, you can not leave me, you can not do this to me, not now Alice." Thomas screamed with every little strength and air in his lungs that the neighbors could hear his bitter outcry and rushed to the house to see what was happening, but only for them to find Alice in Thomas arms lying with her eyes open looking at the celine of the house.Thomas could not hold the pain anymore, he could not believe that the only thing his wife was looking for, for the past seven years would be the reason for her death. How did it come to this, how did he let her become the shadow of herself. Thomas cursed himself for leaving her alone so she could catch up with Rebecca. He wished he had stayed with her, then the pain she was feeling wouldn't have gotten to this."Thomas what happened here? What is wrong w
"Mary, can I talk to you privately?" Thomas asked with a sad tone."Okay." "I want to perform a ritual to bring back Alice and the baby and I need your help in doing that. I know you do not understand what I am talking about, but I want you to trust me and work with me."Mary's eyes widened in shock to her disbelief that such things do exist."You mean there is a ritual to perform so sister Alice can come back to life?""Yes Mary and I need your help in order for that to work Mary please do this for your sister.""Brother in-law you do not need to beg for my help. I love my sister Alice as much as you love her so of course I will gladly help you in these.""Thank you so much Mary.""Anytime brother In-law. So what should I do?""Ohh that. I will need you to get the people away from the house, and we need black Ash, salt, red candles with ice water in the bathtub.""O.kay. do we really have to
