With those words ringing in my ears, I opened my mouth and screamed, “NOOO!!”The room erupted in gasps of surprise and horror. Suddenly Sean is transported back to the room he was once in, to come face with Goldberg. “What did you see?” He asked while lifting Sean upwards, “Anything?" “I found this disc,” Sean says while shivering from the coldness on his body. “This might have information, on our freedom,” Goldberg says while surveying the disc carefully “but it also might contain something about the things we need to know about.”He holds the disc up and looks into it, then turns to the side of the room where there's another projector set.As he does this, Sean sees a picture of a woman and a man in their late 30s sitting across from each other. The man has short brown hair with dark blue eyes. Next to him, sits a teenage girl, her face is covered by a mask, and her face is contorted in anger, it makes Sean wonder what she must be thinking, who she hates or maybe ju
At first, he enjoyed it, he was working hard to produce food to feed his family, which included his wife and children, This particular day, however, there was a strong wind blowing in the direction of the man. The wind blew harder, making the man fall onto his knees while digging in the dirt underneath him. After a moment, the man stood up and continued working. He didn't pay attention to where the wind was coming from until there was an overwhelming force of cold air hitting him. The man was then thrown against a tree branch behind him while groaning and trying to stand up again. Suddenly, it went quiet for a second. The man's ears were ringing and he felt dizzy. Suddenly, a gust of wind hit him again, causing him to fall on his back once more. As he lay there, waiting for his vision to clear, he noticed the tree branch that hit him before. He could feel the bark of the tree against his cheek and chest. Slowly, he lifted his hand to touch the spot where it hurt but found nothing ther
She looked at it and frowned when she saw who was calling. It was none other than Toby, her boyfriend. When he had called her yesterday, he had tried to explain that he had lost the ring she had given him and he had asked her to give it back to him. She had explained to him that she hadn’t lost it, and that she had left it in the drawer of her dressing table because it was so pretty, so he shouldn’t be sad about losing it. That’s why she had gone into the drawer to look for it and hadn’t seen the ring when she opened the drawer. But the ring itself wasn’t important. What mattered was that he should be careful not to lose any more expensive rings that he may not find in a drawer that Sarah’s mom might decide to use for cleaning her makeup. Toby told her that he understood and apologized for his behavior yesterday, telling her that he wanted to apologize to her for upsetting her. That night, Sarah had gone to bed feeling better than ever. Maybe Toby was finally learning that they couldn
After a few minutes, her mother noticed that her daughter was becoming exhausted and quickly changed the topic by saying, “Have you decided if you’re going to be joining us at the pub that night?” Sarah knew that she couldn’t answer because she didn’t have any plans for later that night. “Do you need me to come with you? Maybe we should leave tomorrow morning.”Sighing quietly, Sarah replied “Yes, please. You don’t have to come, mum.” Sarah knew that her mum had no choice but to leave tomorrow morning, but she wished that her mother could stay home for one more night. She could spend the evening with her mother and talk to her about how she was feeling, or rather, she wished that her mother would just ignore her worries and focus on herself.However, it looked as though her mother already knew exactly how she felt. Sarah knew that she couldn’t hide things from her mum, especially her feelings regarding the current situation in her relationship with her boyfriend. At the same time howe
A little van entered the Town entrance, with a middle-aged man dressed in a suit. Mr. Goldberg comes and goes into the town. He returned to the orphanage to help Sarah out with the orphanage kids. In a way, Me Goldberg is an example of how people should act, helping others without asking for anything back. He was good at that. It was like a gift of nature that came into him, to be like this. A natural protector. He stopped in front of the church’s door and knocked on it twice. The church didn’t open at this hour, but Me Goldberg knew someone that would get him inside. Someone that was always here at this time. She was a young woman. Her name was Jessica. But she went by J-Hope because her name sounded cool and she thought it looked cooler than Jessica. After waiting a few seconds, he heard shuffling sounds coming from inside the church. There were three children inside. They looked to be around 5 years old. Two boys and a girl, all of them had dirty blonde hair, one even had long b
he found himself wishing he could just stay there forever. But he knew that wasn’t an option. Eventually, his dreams would stop and he had to wake up.When morning came, he rose from his bed. He got dressed, checked his eReader one last time, making sure nothing had changed, then headed downstairs. He entered the kitchen and noticed that Mrs.Tabor was awake and sitting at the counter eating her pancakes. There was only one other person there, the young boy from yesterday. He saw his father walk up beside him and placed his hand on his shoulder.He gave his father a quick peck on the cheek. “Good morning, daddy,” he greeted.“Morning, kiddo,” he replied. He kissed him again, but it wasn’t as sweet as before, as if it were a goodbye kiss. The man glanced up at his wife and then quickly pulled back his arm.Mrs. Tabor gave him a smile and wink. Then she returned to her breakfast. The man turned back to his son. “Have you eaten?” he asked him.“Not yet, dad,” he answered.The man went o
she said. “But my throat feels a little better since it’s empty.”Her mom nodded. “Yeah. I saw how much you drank earlier, so I put some ice chips in it just in case. So it shouldn’t hurt that much for a while.” Sarah gave her a thankful smile. Her mom smiled back and kissed her forehead. Her dad went over to the coffee table and sat down next to her, giving her a gentle pat on the leg. She moved closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder.They continued eating dinner quietly. Once they had finished they cleared everything off the table and cleaned up afterwards. Afterwards Sarah and her parents sat down on the couch.“So,” her mom began. “How were classes today, honey?”She shrugged. “Same as always. Same amount of homework. Same teachers, same stuff, same classwork. Just regular high school shit.” Her mom nodded. “Yeah, well, the only thing different was that I wasn’t allowed to skip anymore classes because we don’t want anyone else getting hurt.”That made them sigh in relief
there won’t be anything that either one of us can do.”He rubbed his hands together. He didn’t think that she was aware of what would happen. He laughed a little. “Don’t worry, dear. I have a lot of experience hiding, remember?”She nodded and then hugged him tightly. “Bye, daddy.”“Bye, honey. Take care of your mom, okay? I love you.”She let go of him quickly and walked to the living room window where her mom was sitting. “Love you, too, dad. See ya.”He smiled and then walked towards the elevator and rode it all the way downstairs. The doors opened, revealing the parking garage. He walked out to his car and got in. He checked his phone for any messages and then pulled it away from his ear as it vibrated violently. He looked at who was texting him.‘Hey! It’s me, Alex. You haven’t shown up at school, and no one knows where you went either. Have you forgotten our date tonight?’ ‘Damnit, man!’ he thought. ‘What the fuck am I supposed to say, Alex?!’‘Tell me your plans, then!’‘No w
Regina notices that it's just ahead of them so she sits back comfortably in her seat and watches the cars rushing past them. They make their way through the intersection smoothly and continue to drive through the middle of town for a few more minutes. After passing by several buildings that looked rather fancy, they eventually arrive at their destination. Regina watches Daniel's reaction carefully as they approach the entrance to the hotel. He stares out of the window silently, looking uninterested.“Here it is…” he speaks suddenly.She turns toward him and smiles. “This is our hotel? This is your favorite hotel?”“Yup...this is my favorite hotel. Come on...let's go check us in.” He says, taking her hand and leading her through the glass double doors to the lobby of the hotel.As they enter the lobby, she notices that there’s very little activity. There’s a couple of men who seem to be talking on the telephone in a corner and there's a woman who seems to be arguing w
He leads her across the yard to one of the garage doors. “Come on. Let’s find your car.” He mutters. “I need to take you somewhere important.”“Okay… where?” She asks curiously, following after him as they walk toward her truck.His grip on her arms tightens momentarily, and she wonders what he must be thinking about. They make their way over to her black, shiny SUV and he helps her climb into the passenger seat. He walks around to the driver' s side and slams the door shut before turning to stare at her for a second before starting the car and driving out of the driveway.The streets are filled with traffic, which isn't unusual at this hour. It’s late afternoon and most people have stopped working to spend some time outdoors in the cold rain. She watches as the trees fly by through the windshield and she realizes that this must be how Daniel felt whenever he drove through these roads. That was the reason why he didn't speak much about himself. But maybe he never truly wanted to talk
Sam frowns but drops the subject anyway and walks towards the car.As they prepare to depart, Jack pauses, taking one last glance around his home. Then noticed his wife standing at the other side of the room. She smiles sweetly, "You are trying your best” She walks over to embrace her husband. Jack hesitates momentarily before reciprocating the hug. “The kids don't see that ” Jack whispers. Sophia squeezes her husband tighter, "Your children love you, you're doing great, and you make a wonderful father. They need a strong person that will take care of them, and you just happen to be that person”"Thank you," Jack breathes out gratefully when suddenly the car horn blares, startling the couple."Can we move?!” Emily yelled out the window impatiently, clearly annoyed. Jack and Sophia nod in unison.Samuel is the last to leave the house, walking down a flight of stairs with the pipe tightly gripped in his hands.As soon as they were all loaded into the car, Jack sits behind the steer
Nothing. So she slowly steps outside and closes the door behind her, stepping under the protective shelter of the staircase. The rain continues to pour on, even heavier than before.Suddenly she hears loud, thunderous footsteps coming from her right. She looks over and catches sight of Daniel running out into the street. The rain suddenly stops and the air grows quite humid. Regina takes a couple of deep, calming breathes and tries to control her breathing as well. After a minute she hears the sound of tires rolling on wet concrete. She turns her head to look in the direction where she heard it and she freezes in place as she realizes what’s happening.A car is speeding down the road, heading straight for Daniel. She watches as it speeds up and approaches him. She can hear the engine revving loudly as it gets closer and closer to him. She can see the driver’s side window roll down and she can see the man’s face clearly. He’s smirking evilly as he drives by Daniel, who is standing froz
Regina sits up, placing her elbows on her thighs as she stares at the window across the room. She's afraid of facing what she did last night, but at the same time she has no desire to leave him alone either. He's never been so open with her before and she doesn't understand why he' s doing it now. Maybe he's scared that she'll think less of him after she found out about everything he went through. It doesn't seem like that's what he is worried about though, because he never told her about it. Even after all these weeks together he barely opened up to her. She knows that he has feelings for her, but she still feels like he doesn’t trust her enough.After a moment she gets up from the bed and starts walking toward the bathroom. As soon as the door closes behind her, Regina leans onto the counter. After spending hours and hours just staring at those damn walls yesterday, she's really starting to grow frustrated at herself. How could she let those bastards win? What did she expect? She sh
his gaze to meet hers.“Good morning.” He greets her softly, smiling.“Good morning.” She answers, also smiling, returning the gesture. She watches him carefully, noticing that despite his words he seems somewhat uncomfortable. She wonders why and how many nights he spent tossing and turning last night due to his dream. “You didn’t have any bad dreams this night?”He shakes his head and looks away. “I’m glad you stayed.”“Me too.” She agrees.They both remain quiet for a few minutes, neither wanting to talk about the events of the previous evening. But eventually they must break the silence, because he speaks up."So… You came back here? I thought…”"No, I didn’t stay here. I left immediately after you fell asleep."He smiles at her. "Good morning." He repeats, making her laugh."Good morning." She replies."What would you like for breakfast?" He asks.She looks at him questioningly. "Um, what exactly is your definition of 'breakfast?'” Sh
“Sorry girls, I just need to be alone for now" she replies in a broken state while looking at the none resistant eyes of the little girls. She was trying not to cry but was failing miserably by the end. She walks through the halls aimlessly, her head low and her mind in turmoil. She needed time to sort out what the hell had happened but she knew that wasn’t an option here. It would just mean more time away from these children’s concerned eyes. She stops at one of the windows to look outside; the moonlight was falling heavily as usual in this part of town. There was nothing special about this particular window though, it looked exactly like all other ones around her. However, she noticed something different this time around. The trees were swaying back and forth slightly; almost like there was some kind of wind coming from behind them. It was odd enough for her to have stopped to look. “Everything we dreamt and built together is all crumbling," she says while holding her locket
The first rays of sunlight illuminate the whole room through the blinds covering the windows. She blinks several times as she yawns loudly. She rubs the sleepiness off her eyes and stretches slightly. She hears a slight groan next to her and looks over at him to find him staring at her through a heavy eyelid. Slowly he starts waking up more. His eyebrows furrow and his lips purse together slightly as his eyes focus on Regina. He blinks several times and then turns his gaze away from her. She watches his face carefully, waiting for him to show any signs of discomfort. To her surprise, however, he remains very calm.He pushes himself up and sits cross legged on the edge of the bed while stretching once more before finally lifting his gaze to meet hers.“Good morning.” He greets her softly, smiling.“Good morning.” She answers, also smiling, returning the gesture. She watches him carefully, noticing that despite his words he seems somewhat uncomfortable. She wonders why and
wearing the same tattered sweatshirt as earlier. He looks like he hasn't slept in days.He slowly walks over to her, and she keeps her gaze focused on her hands folded together on her lap; trying her best not to let him know how worried she is for him. She hears him sit next to her on the bed. "Are you okay?” He asked in a soft voice.She finally lifts her gaze from her hands to meet his eyes. She takes in his appearance for a few moments and then she says. "Yes. I'm fine."He frowns. "But you're not. Why won't you tell me what happened? I already said you could leave whenever you wanted and that we were friends and nothing more," he tells her with pleading, sad blue eyes.She swallows nervously before looking back down. "I am really sorry… It's none of my business." She tells him sincerely. "I should probably go back to the living room now." She adds as an afterthought, standing up to take a step back.She feels his hand gently touch her shoulder. She slowly tur
