Thirty minutes later, Jelly stood up from the bed, she was sure that Prachi would be fast asleep now. Even though she is not a human she can't avoid nature, she opened her door and tiptoed to Ana's room, opening the door carefully she met the little girl fast asleep. She entered the room and walked straight to the bed side.
"Ana, Ana" she called in a low tone as she tap the girl continuously.
"Ana" she whispered and hit the girl hard on her back, Ana moved a little as she was still feeling sleepy.
"Stand up now" she added and hit the girl harder, Ana opened her eyes and saw her, she blinked multiple times to be sure she is not seeing a ghost.
"Shhhhhhh, don't say a word" she whispered again and brought out her knife, Ana shakes in fright and covered her mouth.
"If you say anything I will stab you with this knife, just keep quiet" she threatened and sat on the bed facing the girl.
"Don't even bother to shout, the door is locked, Prachi won't find a way to enter this room so if you don't answer my questions correctly you won't leave this room alive" she threatened again and Ana nod her head in agreement, she won't dare to disobey.
"What happened to me? Why did Prachi cajole me? What did I tell her?" she asked as she roll the knife on her hand.
"Well...urm..urm..urm...well..well...y...ou...." Ana shuttered.
"Better talk reasonably, I don't have time for this nonsense, tell me the reason she did it now" Jelly shouted, Ana cried in a low tone as she became more scared.
"Keep quiet before I use this knife" she shouted and dragged her hand.
"Why do you hate me mom? What did I do to offend you?" Ana asked as she tried to pull her hand.
"You should be lucky you are still alive, you should be thanking me for taking care of you" Jelly insisted.
"Now tell me everything" she beseeched.
"Nothing really happened, you told us the past and nothing else" Ana said confidently, she has to overcome her fear if she want to survive.
"The past?" Jelly asked rhetorically.
"Did I talk about the past? What did I say about it?" she asked confused.
"You told us how you met my dad, how my mom betrayed you, my biological father and the killing" Ana said and sigh deeply.
"You killed my mom" she added as tears dropped from her eyes, Jelly look at her surprised, she don't remember saying those things, did she really say that? She bit her lips as she tried to remember.
"Did I really say those things? What did that lady do to me? How could I spill the truth I was hiding for years?" Jelly murmured.
"You should be ashamed for doing that, I won't forgive you for it" Ana blurted out without reasoning while Jelly look at her surprised but her expression portrayed anger instead.
"You killed my mom and made my life a living hell, why would you do that?" she yelled, Jelly sigh as she think of what to do to her.
"I won't forgive you at all, you did something not just awful but sinful. You killed the mother and made the daughter pay for what she knows nothing about" she yelled again.
"You are....
"Keep quiet" Jelly interrupted.
"What do you know ahhh? You are just a child, you should mind your tongue so I won't cut it out" she almost yelled.
"You even have the guts to yell at me, you this skinny child" she added and hissed.
She got her face close to Ana's looking her directly in the eyes.
"Your mother betrayed me, she even broke her principles to do that. Instead of you to apologize for her mistake, you are reprimanding me like an adult. What do you even know about forgiveness? Do you know what it means to forgive someone?" she whispered breathing in her face, Ana couldn't say anything or even move. She was like a robot paused with its remote.
"You should kneel down and apologize to me, you are too small to yell at me. A tiny child I brought up when she was abandoned by her mother" she murmured and take her face back. Ana still stare in her eyes with mixed feelings.
"I said kneel down, didn't you hear me?" she yelled and stood up.
"Please don't be angry but you still made a mistake" Ana said and climbed down from the bed, Jelly looked at her annoyed.
"What do you mean by that? It seem you won't keep quiet, you still have the guts to utter a word" Jelly scolded. Ana knelt down and look at her.
"You made a mistake keeping me alive, you even say so yourself. You regret not killing me and I.....I regret living" Ana said as tears dropped from her eyes. Jelly felt like something pierce her heart as she couldn't say anything, still trying to understand her words.
"How dare you say that? Instead of thanking me for that, you are saying nonsense" Jelly yelled after some minutes of silence.
"I regret living to call you mother, I regret living to be be taken care of by you. I wished I had died that day with my mom. I wished I didn't live to pass through your torments and wickedness, I wish my life was different" Ana blurted out confidently. Jelly became more furious and she took the knife from the bed.
"If you say another word, I will kill you here?" she shouted pointing the knife at her.
"Go ahead, your heart desire will be fulfilled then. You will be happy, won't you? I will no longer interfere in your life and to top it all, I will be free from your clutches. No more beating, no more torture, no more pain" Ana murmured and more tears flow from her eyes.
"How dare you try to blackmail me? I will kill you today and no one will stop me not even that Prachi" Jelly shouted and held her knife properly, her mind was made up. She won't spare her anymore, Ana looked at her and she cried quietly. Jelly raised the knife but with mixed feelings, she couldn't bring her hand down as she stare at the little girl crying in front of her. She felt emotional
'Why should I kill her? She did nothing wrong, she is still my daughter. I brought her up with love even though I maltreated her, I still love her. She is a crucial part of my life, I can't do this. No I can't' she thought as she watch the girl in silence.
"I don't want to live anymore, please do it. I'm tired of everything already" Ana said reminding her of what she was about to do as she noticed Jelly looked on in confusion.
"I will, just wanna give you some time to pray" Jelly murmured. Ana frowned and tighten her fist knowing fully well she was lying.
"If you don't do it then you are a coward, you are a fool" Ana blurted out with courage. Jelly became more furious and she hit the knife on her hand, Ana screamed in pain.
"How dare you insult me? You have really grown winds to fly, I should have cut them a long time ago but I didn't believe when people were saying it" Jelly said and dragged the knife out of her body, blood flows out continuously while Ana whined loudly.
"Shut up, isn't it what you want? I'm just obeying your wish madam" Jelly said and laughed sarcastically, then she stabbed her chest with the knife and pulled it out at once. Ana gasped for air as more blood gushed out, filling the floor and staining Jelly's body.
"I love you mom" she murmured and fell down gasping for breath. Jelly dropped the knife looking confused.
"Why did you push me to do it? I didn't want to do it, I never wanted to do it. Ana stand up, I'm sorry, please stand up. Don't die now, I promise to be a nice mom" she said as tears dropped from her eyes, she touched the girl and realized she was lifeless.
"No, no, no. She can't be dead, no, no. I killed her, I killed her" she shouted and stood up shaky.
"I can't stay here any longer, I have to leave now" She excoriated and ran towards the door but stopped immediately as if she saw a ghost. She sigh heavily as she stare at Prachi standing by the door looking at her, she couldn't say anything than to move backward shaking vigorously. Prachi followed her without saying a word. Her eyes were dark, a mixture of anger and hatred, her stern look is enough to kill anyone and Jelly feels her heart beat stopping at interval. She ran quickly towards Ana and picked the knife, pointing it at Prachi with her shaky hands.
"If you come any closer, I will stab you too" She yelled though feeling scared.
"Do you see that? I finally killed her, hahahahaha I killed her and I don't regret it" she laughed pointing at Ana's lifeless body on the floor. But Prachi didn't stop, she kept walking towards her with anger all over her.
"Stop there, stop. Don't move" Jelly shouted and Prachi stopped.
"Better don't come close to me, I won't hesitate to use this knife on you" she bragged as she moved backward a little, Prachi smiled and raised her eyebrows still looking at Jelly. Jelly's hand which hold the knife moved uncontrollably, she was shocked as she tried to bring it to place but the hand stuck the knife in her neck. It was unexpected and fast, she never imagined that could happen.
"Ana is alive, she is not dead. She is just weak because of the pain from the knife, didn't I tell you I will protect her? I know what you were up to so I covered her with powers, you have done more than enough. Please go and rest, let the girl live peacefully" Prachi said as Jelly fell down bleeding profusely, her eyes were almost white as she gasped for breath.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh.....Ahhhhhh....Ahhhhhh...." Jelly shouted as she jumped up from bed, she quickly rubbed her neck to check if it was alright, she heaved a sign of relief.
"Thank goodness, it's just a dream. It look so real, oh! Goodness!" she said as she pant heavily.
"What type of dream is that? Why will I kill Ana? I might be rude to her, I might have maltreated her but I will never kill her. She is not just my niece but she is my daughter, I cared for her. I might be bragging that I will kill her in front of people but in reality I will never do that, I can't even bring myself to do it" she said as she sat down on the bed.
"I will leave this house, I want to give her space, I want to give her peace. She is old enough to decide now and besides I taught her well, I shouldn't stay here and bother her. I trust Prachi, she will look after her well and I know she will take her to her father. Ana will be happy with him" she said again as she fold her legs on the bed and sigh deeply as she look at the clock, it was 3:38am. She has few hours left, she rested her head between her knees and watch the clock tick away.
Mia got home and ran to Olivia's room without hesitation, she opened the door and barged in without knocking. She was surprised as she looked at Austin who was already awake due to the sound the door made when it closed, she quickly closed her eyes and turned around as the guy was naked. No strands of cloth was covering his body.
"Who's that?" Olivia asked as she got up, she was woken by the noise too. She looked at Austin who was pulling the blanket to cover their naked bodies.
"Why are you covering us? Are you suddenly shy of sleeping next to me naked?" she asked, rubbing his chest downwards.
"Stop now" he said, removing her hand from his body. He knew she hasn't seen Mia who was still in the room.
"Why? Should we start again?" she asked, climbing his body, trying to kiss him.
"Please don't, I'm still here" Mia blurted out as she turned to them. Olivia looked at her shocked.
"Whhaat? Hoowww.... Olivia shuttered still surprised.
"I'm sorry, I barged in without knocking. Please forgive my manners, I didn't know he was around" Mia pleaded and turned around to leave.
"Wait, are you back so soon?" How did the party go?" Olivia asked and smiled. Mia sigh deeply and looked at her, she is going to explain this entire party today, she even promised her that.
"It was okay, I left before others. I wanted to ask you something" Mia said rubbing her neck.
Olivia jumped up forgetting she was naked.
"What is it?"
Austin quickly pulled her down trying to cover her body while Mia turned around to avoid looking at them.
"You are naked, please she will meet you outside" He said feeling embarrassed.
"Okay" Mia said and was about to walk but....
"Stop, wait for me" Olivia ordered and poke his face.
"No I will wait outside" Mia said and ran out before Olivia said anything.
"You sent her away, why?" Olivia asked and poke his face again.
"You are naked and misbehaving" he chided.
"She is my friend and a girl at that, I saw the way you quickly covered my body" she argued.
"Sorry madam, don't forget your friend is waiting outside" he reminded.
"Won't you look at me?" she asked and pouted.
"Yes ma'am" he said looking at her face. She held his face and give him a short passionate kiss.
"I'll be back, don't go anywhere" she said and smiled, climbing down from the bed. He smiled and looked at her naked body then laughed slowly.
' She is my woman' he thought and laughed more looking at the bathroom door after she went inside.
