Chapter 6 - New Beginning

The pain on sharon's left arm suddenly stopped after 2hours. She was still sitted outside. Even though she was worried she decided to go home to wait for her dad. As she was about to leave she noticed the black benz was still there. She decided to talk to Tobin again. She walked to the car knocked on the door. When Tobin brought down the windscreen he was surprised to see her still standing there after 2 hours.

She didn't say anything to him but reached out to his ears and dragged the earpiece from his ears. She decided to run away before he comes down.

Tobin was shocked that a girl will have the guts to do that to him. But he wasn't much interested in taking revenge on her so he didn't bother to pursue her when she ran.

By the time Sharon got home, it was already late. She decided to make dinner for both her dad and herself. She ate hers and put his own on the table and decided to go to bed.

That night she saw the blue eyed lady that kept appearing to her in the past

But this time she noticed someone was injecting her with a drug and she was in pains. As usual she could not see the face clearly but she could notice her eyes were glowing with blue colours. She also noticed for a first time a mark on the nape of the lady's neck as she struggled in pain. At that moment she started feeling pains on her left arm and she woke up sweating profusely. She rushed to the mirror and raised her hair. There it was, her birth mark. It was the same with the one the lady in her dreams had.

She was confused. She went to the living room and discovered her dad hadn't come home that night. By this time she was confused and worried at the same time. She was beginning to have a really bad feeling about everything. A rough knock jolted her from her state of limbo. She rushed to the door hoping to see her dad, but was shocked to see Mr Lancaster and two other men she was familiar with.

"Where is my dad?"

"Don't you think you should welcome us in first?" One of the men asked.

She allowed them in only because she recognized Mr Lancaster and also wanted to know what happened to her dad.

"Where is my dad?" She asked again when they were seated.

"He is dead." Mr Lancaster replied quietly.

Sharon could not believe her ears though she was not totally surprised by the news since she had been expecting something bad to happen. The men watched how she received the news. She didn't cry. She was just quiet. Her blue eyes suddenly turned cold.

"How did he die?" She finally asked.

"He suddenly slumped." was the reply she got since no one was willing to giver her further details. She was not even told the hospital he had been taken to.

She thought her world was going to end as she had no one to move in with apart from her friend Ella. As if reading her thoughts, Mr Lancaster reached out to her and gave her a paper. She could see it was boldly written. She was to accept Mr Lancaster as her new guardian.

"Did he know he was going to die?"

"Yes, he has been battling prostate cancer but didn't want to tell you." Mr Lancaster lied.

"How do you know him?"

"We have been friends for over 10 years"

"That's strange since he never mentioned you to me." she said in a flat voice.

Mr Lancaster kept quiet for sometime "There are a lot of things you don't know about your father. You will just have to come with me unless you prefer to stay in a foster home.

Your father has given this house to this man right beside me Mr Leo." He gave her another set of papers to read and she saw it was true.

It was then she decided she had to move with Mr Lancaster. It was time for a fresh start.
