That was another shocker for Fredrick . "You better tell me where Beth is !"
He answered as quick as an arrow this time , "Nate had her hypnotised . She's in the woods itself , but she think's that she has nobody and is homeless . I don't know if she will be alive or dead . Now will you give Leah back to me ?"
"I'm a human too Fredrick ! You think she will let me go if I tell her to come back to you ? Your price for endangering my friend is that my part of the deal would be cut off ! You're not getting her back . "
As cool as that , I walked out with Nate , leaving Fredrick speechless to even stop us . Unfortunately , all obstacles in the house weren't crossed yet . Jessie came from the right of the exit door and tried to hit us . I caught her just in time before getting struck . "You don't have to stop us , WARM LADY ! You're coming with us anyway ! Enjoy you stay at my place !" Both Nath and I took Jessie and dragged her to the car. Fredrick seemed to have noticed what happened from the window on the first floor when we were outside because when we were almost inside , Fredrick was rushing towards us , "Hey ! Leave her alone ! "
As if we would do that just because he said that ! He doesn't even have the slightest idea of what I can do .
Leah didn't drive until Fredrick had reached almost near us , running . She knew how to make him feel helpless when she wasn't bound up . She had been imprisoned for almost 5 months . I would've died if I was her by that time .
I was giving her directions during the drive while Nath hit Jessie to make her pass out since she was making way too much noise . We blasted 'Maniac' by Conan Gray while driving . We reached home . I could see that they had mended the broken wall well from the side . We got in the house because it wasn't locked . I needed to teach them to lock the door properly . Burglars and homeless people would be able to get in any time during a day and they wouldn't even know . We got in and I showed Leah around the house while Nath took Jessie and locked her up in the guest room .
There was nobody in the house . Where did they go at 7.30 in the evening ? I had no idea . We had bought a new SIM card for all our phones and I called dad . He picked the phone up . "Hello ? Who are you ?"
I replied , "It's me , dad . I'm back home . Where are you gu-" He hung up on me . What ?
The groceries were still packed up and I felt grateful for that . We took some ice cream and sat down for a movie . We were in the middle of the movie when the doorbell rang . I had locked the door because I would never be able to relax if the door was not locked . I ran to the door and saw that dad , Kate , Ben , Marge , Beth were there . Wait , ... Beth ! I opened the door swiftly and hugged Beth tightly . She was shocked but soon she hugged me back . The others joined me . Everyone came inside and welcomed Nath back too . Marge was so emotional and hugged Nath , keeping everyone else from touching him .
I was confused because Marge had never cried like that for Nath at all . She really DID love him after all . "I'm pregnant." Well that explained why she was THAT emotional . We congratulated her . She was 2 months pregnant and she had found out only two days after Nath and I went missing .
Since we had Leah with us , I decided that I didn't need to hide the fact that I was a Berthim anymore and told her about what plan I had originally put forth to be able to reach Leah . Beth was understanding and told me that it was okay . She also asked me to forgive her for stabbing me . "That was taken away from you account long ago . It wasn't your fault so it's okay . Also , it was because you stabbed me , Ben and I are together ." I smiled at Ben , then at her . She hugged me again .
Ben and Kate were the only ones a little bit nervous to approach Leah because they thought that she would melt them . I told them about who she could melt and use and that made them relaxed .
It was after a while , Jessie had woken up from being passed out . It was time to make her taste her own medicine . She banged on the door and shouted to let her out . What could a human do to save herself from being locked up than jump out the window ? The guest room had no windows because there were some trees growing near the walls . We had planted them to keep this house hidden so it was better that the guest room would have no windows since it would be impossible for us to clean it . The door was also locked so the guest room was the perfect prison space for Jessie .
"Please let me out ! I will do anything !" She was crying but none of us were falling for her act . It was midnight and Jessie was still crying loudly . I lost my patience and ran to the guest room . The others were also disturbed , but they had managed to sleep . I opened the door and looked at Jessie getting ready to attack the first person who opened the door . I knew that she was doing it to annoy any one of us so that they would open the door . She really had an obsession for hitting people on their heads .
I held her hands and stuck her mouth with masking tape . "inhaero ibi usque in sempiternum" I spelled , which made the tape get stuck to her mouth even more . It wouldn't come off until I spell the counter spell . I smiled at the sense of silence . Pushing Jessie onto the floor , I locked the door again .
What if Fredrick would go to Nate and ask for help ? Nate would probably help him since Leah is here too . This is why I opened the door again , took Jessie from the room and stuck her onto my bed , beside me in such a way that she wouldn't be able to move a single muscle . She cried a lot but it didn't move me an inch .
I finally started to sleep .....
