Chapter 396: Acceptance
Gyles
For sure, I am losing my mind.
I see the way they have been looking at
since last night. I wanted to tell them how I felt about the whole situation but I didn’t want to look like the crazy one. The book is supposed to be evil--anything associated with the book is supposed to be evil, so why do I think that I can actually trust the girl.
Why do I feel like she actually needs my help?
I am seated on the bed; it is late in the afternoon and I haven’t heard anything from Blue and his dad. Jules is supposed to help
get soone that understands what is going on.
the door opens and Rex walks in with a faint smile on his face. He has joined Blue in treating
like there is sothing wrong with . They are now both walking on eggshells around .
"You hungry?’’ he asks
as I drop my phone to the bed.
"No,’’ I tell him because I haven’t even had the energy to think about food.
"Are you sure, you haven’t had any blood today, I could go to the main house and get sothing for you?’’
I sit up on the bed, resting my back on the headboard "No, I am fine," I assure him as he walks further into the room. He slowly walks to the table and sits on the edge of it.
"So, have you heard from this woman again?’’
I shake my head, he nods. "You can co closer to . I am not contagious.’’ I sigh because I don’t like the distance we have right now.
he jumps up from the bed and walks over to . He is standing in front of , looking at
like he is trying to figure
out.
"What are you thinking about?" I ask him, he shakes his head. I want to know his stance on all that has happened.
"I just need you to be safe, through all this, I keep worrying and thinking the worst. like sothing terrible will happen to you."
okay.
He is scared.
I am scared too. "I am safe right now," I assure him. He nods. I stand up from the bed and grab his hands in mine "Co here,’’ I pull him into my arms. he rests his head in the crook of my neck and I feel his breathing against . it is soft and steady.
"I just want things to be normal. Why does life have to co with so many problems?" he asks.
"This is just a test of our strength. don’t worry about anything. it will be fine.’’
He pulls away from
slightly "You don’t think so. I can sense how you feel. you are worried and scared. I don’t need you to hide your fear from ."
His hands are clutching my shirt in a tight grip. I don’t know but I feel like he is trying to hold unto .
"What if I make a promise to be okay, would that help?’’
He shakes his head "You can’t promise what you don’t know.’’
I sigh, he is right. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow but I want to try to be strong for him.
Help .
The voice cos out again. this catches
off guard and makes
end up pushing Rex out of my grip. He falls to the floor. he stands up imdiately and walks over to . I can’t focus because I feel her shadow roaming around the room. the sun is bright and the weather is warm but her presence makes
cold.
"Are you okay?’’ he asks
trying to touch , but I move away from him imdiately. there is a hurt expression on his face and I don’t bla him. I just shoved him like I didn’t want anything to do with him.
"I am sorry, I just heard her again,’’ I tell him honestly because there is no need to hide this from him.
I am still here Gyles, please stop trying to block
out of your head.
Her voice echoes around the room which makes
get up from the bed, because there is no escaping her.
"I didn’t ask for this, leave
alone,’’ I scream out loud, confusing Rex even more. my voice travels around the room, but she doesn’t respond or even acknowledge my plea.
"Baby,’’ Rex manages in complete and utter confusion.
I look at him and he is watching
carefully as if trying to figure out how to deal with this.
"I can’t block her out of my mind, I don’t know why or how, but she is in my head. she is trying to talk to
and I don’t know how to make her stop.’’
he nods and reaches for
again, grabbing my arm softly. this ti, I let him touch . "Maybe you should listen to her. you have been trying to block her all this while but it seems like she has sothing to say to you, so maybe all you need to do is listen to her."
I take a deep breath because I am all out of options. she is never going to let
go and as long as I keep fighting this, I will be tortured.
"I don’t know how to,’’ I confess.
Rex smiles "co on,’’ he tells , leading
out of the room and out of the house. We keep Walking until we are outside and the fresh air hits .
"Where are we going?’’ I ask him.
"Sowhere you can concentrate,’’ he doesn’t let go of my hand as he tells .
We keep walking until we get to the field.
"We are going to sit here and all you have to do is listen to her. I will be next to you, so you won’t be alone.’’
I nod and we both sit on the grass. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, trying to calm down all the nerves.
"Just close your eyes and ditate, I am sure she will co to you," he mutters quietly being very helpful right now. I obey his commands because I have nothing to lose.
I have to face this head-on.
