"Where is she?"Lily asked, Daniel had arrived earlier and was attending to Lucy.
Rosey paced around the hallway, mumbling things to herself.
"She's still inside"Rosey said.
"What happened to her?"Lily asked, she had just returned from her college.
"She fell into a panic attack I think"Rosey said.
"But she never has panic attacks! What the hell is going on!"Lily said practically screaming.
Lucy's nurse walked up to them both, holding a tray of hot towels. "Who is Acker? Is he your brother?"The nurse asked.
"Who told you about Acker?"Rosey immediately asked, sounding a bit panicked.
Lily noticed her sudden change in tone and grew interested in this new character.
"She was talking about him an awful lot, she said somethings"the nurse said. Lily looked at Rosey, wanting to catch her next expression.
Rosey opened her mouth to say something but the bedroom doors suddenly flew open, Daniel emerged out of the room.
"How is my mother?"Lily asked walking up to Daniel and seizing his hand.
The nurse made an attempt to join the company but Rosey held her back.
"Tell me what my mother said"Rosey said sounding Stern and serious.
"She said he...Acker...she said she could....could...how did she say it?"The nurse contemplated.
She was pushing all of Rosey's buttons, and testing her patience.
"What?"Rosey asked, not caring to look at Daniel or Lily.
"She said she sensed him"a masculine voice from behind her said.
Rosey turned her head and looked over her shoulder to see Daniel, looking certain.
"That's it!"the nurse said.
"She also said that he was in hurt or something similar"the petty nurse said and went into the room to check her boss.
Rosey was still digesting what she was informed.
"Daniel what does she mean by that? Who is hurting him? Tell me!"Rosey said, her tone changing drastically for the worse.
"Rosey...it's not what you're thinking..."
"Really? Y'all keep him away for days, without any contact, and you just expect me to believe you're keeping him in peach perfect condition!
That's perfect bullshit!"Rosey blurted out.
"Language big sister..."Lily muttered loud enough to be heard.
Rosey ignored her sister and fixed her gaze on Daniel.
"I want to see him"Rosey said meaning every word.
"It's...let's go talk somewhere else, your mother needs her rest"Daniel said.
"Am going to go see her and ask her what she means and what she sensed, since you're clearing not going to help me"Rosey said.
She walked into the room, and laid her sight on Lucy, who sat up having some liquid medicine.
Rosey immediately shut the door after excusing the nurse.
Lucy's interest was attained.
"How are you?"Rosey asked. She sat beside her mother and took her hand.
"Don't tell me you're here to ask me that, what do you want to know? Who Acker is?"Lucy asked.
"I want you to tell me you're okay first of all"Rosey said, and intertwined her fingers with her mother's.
"Rosey you worry too much,a trait both you and Daniel possess"Her mother said.
"Are you okay?"she persisted.
"Yes, but you aren't"her mother stated.
"Care to tell me why?"Lucy asked a little lighter.
"Acker"Rosey said, she wouldn't say it out loud or express it, but she was very worried about him. He had no experience with this time and he was barely adjusting.
She couldn't help but wonder at what he was going through by himself, with her father in charge, a man she could barely trust.
"Do you know him?"her mother asked.
"Yes"she said.
A silence followed.
"I know him too, did you know that I've sensed him once before?"Lucy asked.
"No, I didn't know that"Rosey said, sounding a bit confused.
"It was some days ago, I was on this bed, about to go to bed, I was just about to have the lights turned off..."
A WEEK AGO....
Lucy emerged from her bathroom, her hair still damp and her red bathroom robe wrapped loosely around her.
She walked casually towards the light switch, wanting to turn off the lights.
"Another Chemotherapy treatment tomorrow"she grimaced.
She tiredly flicked the switch and got the greatest migraine ever.
At first it demobilized her, making her stop for some moments, but then the headache resulted in a ringing in her head.
She used both hands to block her ears, but the sound became louder. She took steady breaths, and subtle steps backwards, trying to locate her bed.
She successfully achieved that once she landed heavily on the bed.
Her senses gripped her, and she felt a breathing, a panting, a groaning, a moaning.
She covered herself in her sheets, trying to block out all the noise and the sensations she was experiencing.
It was at the peak of the pain that her mind whispered to her.
In moments, she regained her full consciousness and senses.
She made a quick move and grabbed her phone.
"Daniel....listen to me...it's Acker, the man from..."
"Yes him....he's hurt! Save him..."
PRESENT....
"I was a bit worried that I didn't sense him after that night, but, now out of the blue, I CAN, and I know he's not feeling good Rosey"Lucy said.
Rosey just stared at her mother blankly, not having an ounce of idea on what to tell her next.
"Do you not believe me? Do you think I've lost my mind, just like your father?"she asked sounding bitter.
"No, it is not that, I...Am speechless, I am scared, fath...Mr Red can do anything"Rosey stated.
"Can you maybe tell me something?"her mother requested.
"Yes Mom, whatever"Rosey said, her mother breathed in and out.
"How badly do you want this man in your custody?"Lucy asked, staring deep into her daughter's eyes, penetrating deep into her soul.
"So bad mother, awfully bad"Rosey said.
"I don't..." Her mother coughed, "know your reason, but I can see you do want him"
Rosey flushed at that sentence.
"I will try and sense him again, and I'll hope that I can pick up anything, I'll try to...see through his mind and know where he is"Lucy said.
"Are you being serious? Can you actually do that?"Rosey asked in disbelief.
"Yes"Lucy said, she stared at Rosey for seconds then closed her eyes in suspense.
She took steady breaths and stilled her body, Rosey stood up and watched from a distance.
After half a minute, the room became windy, Rosey rushed to close the windows. She pulled both windows back together and drew the curtains.
She heard some surpressed moans, her heart beat increased she rushed over to her mother, searching her.
Lucy seemed like she was fine, but moans kept escaping her mouth every now and then.
In some moments her legs began to shake lightly, startling Rosey to the bones. In seconds the shaking became violent and made Rosey's heart skip a beat.
"What the hell..."she muttered rhythmically.
She panicked, flashes from Acker's attack flooded her mind.
Another loud moan pulled her out of her thoughts, throwing her into reality.
Her mother's breathing became heavier and quicker, her chest elevating and depressing.
"Mom!"Rosey said yelling, without giving it a second chance, she opened the door and ran out to get Daniel.
Tears already welling up in her eyes, while she tried to locate him.
Getting closer to the garden, she heard some moans, which gripped her senses.
She stopped and traced the moans to the source.
She was devastated at the sight she saw, and forced a sound out of her lungs.
"Lily Red!"she yelled.
Lily jumped off the lap she was straddling, she broke away and her cheeks reddened.
Rosey marched up to them in strong disbelief.
"Rosey.... it's...I..."
"Daniel my mother is having another attack!"Rosey said, cutting him off.
In a flash he ran towards Lucy's bedroom, leaving every other thing behind.
Lily turned to follow but got yanked back vigorously by her elder sister.
"What do you want to say now?"Lily asked seeming uninterested.
"I love him alright and you can't do anything to stop me from loving him"Lily said.
Rosey kept her strict gaze on her sister, her jaw clenched, she bit her cheek in anger.
"Rosey, you can't play savior and saint, and I won't let you get in my way of finding my happiness in love"Lily said.
Rosey's grip on Lily tightened.
"Let go! You can't always win!"Lily said, struggling to set herself free.
"Do you know why mother always compares both me and Daniel? Why father loves him so much?"Rosey asked and tightened her grip.
"Tell me naieve little...."
Lily broke into tears.
"I do know! I know! They want him for you! I know Rosey and it kills me! Am aware of it, and it hurts me!"Lily spat at her.
She let out a cry, causing a scene, Rosey gave her a look, and let out a little chuckle.
She pulled her younger sister closer and stared at her critically.
"Lily, you're just so oblivious, Very Very ignorant.
He's your brother....our brother, and he doesn't know it!"Rosey said to only both their hearing.
A/N: Love to you all! Hope you're loving the turn of events so far.
So...Daniel is...related, what a shocking twist.
I wonder how, I wonder if he will find out. I wonder what Lily will do, and how did Rosey find out...so many questions.
Don't worry we'll keep on progressing and see how it'll all go. For now, vote, comment, and share.
See you all in the next chapter!!!
