KEISHA JOHNSTON
I lied on the bed with my eyes open cause I can't even sleep thinking about Kiera.
Who's gonna choose her clothes for her? who's gonna take her to school? who's gonna make her feel happy? Ok, maybe Karen but Karen is busy with her work as a lawyer.
I saw the sky was becoming clear so I got up and went into the bathroom to take my bath.
After taking my bath I walked back to the room then I remembered I don't have any clothes here. I might as well check the closet maybe there are clothes in it.
I walked in and saw clothes in it and they're all my size.
I looked through and took a pair of jeans and a shirt.
I sat on the floor in the room and hugged my knees and cried.
Later there was a knock on the door and I opened it to see who it was.
It was a maid holding a tray of toast and bacon with coffee.
"Good morning Miss, Sir said I should bring your food"
"I'm not hungry you can send it"
I told her and she nodded and walked away then I closed the door and went back to the floor and lied there.
I cried again thinking about Kiera.
The door was opened to reveal a girl about my age with black hair. She looked like hottie number one. I think she might be his sister.
"Hi, can I come in?" She asked. She also had an Italian accent.
"Hi," I said lowly.
"I'm Francesca the younger sister of Damon"
"Damon?"
Who's Damon?
"Oh sorry, Damon's my brother the one who brought you here"oh so he's Damon. No wonder why he's a demon because his name rhymes with it.
"Oh"
"I'm Keisha"
"I know"
"Really? How?"
"I was in the same school as you back in Middle School"
"Oh sorry but I don't"
"Oh, you do. You remember you pulled a prank on Mr Anil with me?"
"Wait Cesca?"
"Yeah that's me"
She said and I smiled at her.
"It's so good to see you again"
"Yeah it is"
"So why are you here?"
"I don't want to talk about it"
She nodded and I sat on the floor and she sat there with me.
She talked about how she just left to Italy a year later and pulled pranks on all the teachers there.
"Aren't you hungry? I think you should eat it's late"
"I'm ok"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I am"
How can I eat not knowing if Keira has eaten?
"I'm going to have my breakfast I'll be back later"
"Ok"
I said and she got up and left the room.
I looked through the pocket of the dress I wore yesterday and found my phone.
I had sixteen missed calls from Miranda and forty-five from Karen. I think it's Kiera.
She might be in school now so I don't think I should call. If they see me on my phone I think they might break it.
Five days later
It's been six days living in the house and this room without food and water. I mean they give me food but I always deny it cause I don't feel hungry. I think I'm becoming skinny.
I sat back on the floor and hugged my knees.
I learnt from Cesca that she had four siblings that are Demon, Toni, Channel and Avía.
I had only seen Demon but none of the ones she mentioned. She always took my phone secretly and charged it for me so I can use it. We used the same phone so when she's charging it I think she uses her phone cover around mine so no one will notice and I thank God for that.
I looked down with tears falling out of my eyes. Kiera might be home now since it's school over.
My head was bowed when I heard some muffling with the handle of the door and it opened.
In came a cute blonde-haired little girl holding a tray. She looked like Cesca and she looks familiar like I've seen her before but don't remember the place quietly.
She closed the door with her back and walked inside. She might be five or six like Kiera.
She settled the tray next to me and sat on the floor opposite me.
"Hi I'm Avía," she said cheerfully and shyly.
"Hi, I'm Keisha"I gave her a small smile.
"You look like my best friend"
"Really?"
She nodded her head.
"But lately she's not been talking to me anymore. I don't know why. She doesn't speak in class anymore and now sits at the back and usually cries. When you ask her she just tells you to leave her. She doesn't go to eat"
Oh, that's sad.
"That's bad. She'll fall sick"
"She fainted in class today. She was going for her book from a friend then suddenly fell to the floor. Then the teacher came for her and sent her to the dispensary"
Oh.
"She's always mentioning this name Sha Sha when she's crying and crying they should bring her back"
Sha Sha? Kiera!
"Kiera?"
"Yes that's her name do you know her"
"I'm her sister Sha Sha"
"Really? Then what are you doing here? You should be with her"
"If I could go I would've gone a long time ago but I can't"
"Why?"
"I can't tell you"
"Ok"
"You're her best friend Ave right"
"Yeah, how do you know she calls me Ave?"
"I saw a picture of you two in her book and she told me it's her Best friend Ave"
She smiled at me.
"I think you should eat Sha Sha"
"I'm not hungry and besides how can I eat when Kiera hasn't been eating and she's not feeling well"
"Oh but just drink the apple juice"
Now I Know. They sent her here so she can make me eat. Oh, sneaky bitches but I'm not eating.
"I'm ok Ave"
"Ok"
"I'm sending the food back to the kitchen then I'll return"
I nodded and walked to the door and opened it for her then I closed it when she was gone.
I can't believe Keira hasn't been eating. But why. Karen is around the whole time to make sure she eats.
I took my phone and dialled Karen's number.
She picked up and I could hear Keira crying.
"Hello Karen"
"Hello, how are you doing?"
"I'm...f-fine"
"Ok" she sounded sad.
"Can I speak to Keira"
"Hello Kei Kei"
"Sha Sha" she cried.
"I miss you Sha Sha please come back, Sha Sha"
Please stop crying Keira you're not feeling well. I heard Karen say from the back.
"Kei Kei please eat for me or else you'll be weak"
"How can I eat Sha Sha you're not here"
"I know but if you eat when I'm coming back I'll buy more gifts for you and I promise you I'll come back"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Ok. I want to hear you eating and continue to eat for me"
"Ok," she said munching something up.
I continued hearing her munch something up till she was done.
"I'm done, Sha Sha"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
" Ok good girl don't forget to eat everyday ok"
"Have you eaten?"
"Yes, I ate my food when you are yours"I lied.
"Ok"
"Thank you so much, Keisha," Karen said.
"I love you Kei Kei so always eat for me ok!"
"Ok"
"Bye-bye"
"Bye "
I said and disconnected the call and kept the phone under the bed and lied on the floor hugging my knees crying.
The door opened and in walked Demon but I didn't look at him. I continued crying.
"Why didn't you eat when they brought you the food?" he asked angrily.
I didn't mind him and continued crying.
He walked close to me and held my hand and pulled me up. He stared at me with cold eyes.
"What did I tell you about not answering my questions," he asked coldly and angrily.
I looked down the whole time crying.
He held my chin tight that my jaws were hurting.
"I asked you a question unless you want to die now"
"Y-y-you said if I don't answer your question you won't think twice before putting a bullet through my head," I said stammering.
"Good girl now why didn't you eat the food?"
"I'm n-n-not hh-hungry" I stuttered.
"Oh, I know what you're up to. You're starving yourself so you'll fall sick and you'll be sent to the hospital so you can run away?"
"N-n-no"
"I know what girls like you are like so let me tell you this. You're never leaving this house you hear. And one more thing you'll be starting your work as a maid tomorrow"
Maid?
"Ok"
"Now get up from the floor you're making it dirty with your unclean body," he said coldly and I got up.
"Go and take a bath the room is stinking with your stinking body. Then you return and I tell you what you're going to do"
I nodded my head and walked into the bathroom. Everything became blurry.
I removed my clothes and sat in the tub and switched on the shower and water were pouring on me with me crying.
I wish my Dad was still alive. I wouldn't be stuck in this stupid life.
If not for Keira I would've committed suicide already but I love her to leave her alone to live with our crazy mom and Stephan.
My dad and I were always close. Even though he was tired when he always returned from work, he would play with me when I was young and always bought me chocolate or muffins and Chocolate shake.
I stayed in for almost twenty minutes before getting out and wearing a black top and high waisted skirt.
I walked out and he was sitting on the bed.
"About time," he said rolling his eyes.
"You'll be working in the kitchen. You'll cook, serve and clean the kitchen"all that me?
"You'll receive your uniform later. Do you have any problem?"
"No Master, "I said.
"If you ever had I wouldn't have even minded you"bitch.
I was standing and everything began to spin.
I began tripping and he was just looking at me.
I fell and everything blacked out.
I woke up and there was a tray with a chicken salad with fries next to me with Apple juice.
Demon was standing before me looking angry.
"Eat the food we have something to talk about"
But I'm not feeling hungry.
"If you don't eat it I'll shove it down your throat and make you choke to death," he said seriously and I gulped.
I took the tray and kept it on my lap and took the fork and began eating.
I felt like puking.
"Make sure you finish everything"
I ate half and I got up and went to the bathroom to go and puke.
Don't even think I'm pregnant cause I'm not.
I flushed it and went to the sink and rinsed my mouth and walked back in.
"I said finish the food I don't care if you've just puked"
Is he really serious? I didn't know he was this wicked.
I sat back down and finished it fast and drank the apple juice before I puked it out.
"Now that you're done let's talk about what I was talking about"
He took my phone from his pocket. Oh no.
My face paled.
" Why do you look so scared"
You might not know it might be Cesca's phone.
Oh shut up it's my phone.
"Nothing"
"Now tell me how did you get your phone"
I was quite looking scared.
"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION PUTTANA"He yelled which made me flinch.
"I it uh"
"Stop your stupid stutters and tell me because you won't like what I'm going to do with you"
"It was in my pocket"
"Oh, and you've been making calls behind my back. Tell me who charges it for you"
If I mention Cesca's name he would do something to her.
"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION DIDN'T I ?" he yelled again. I think the room is soundproof cause it like one in the morning
.
"Francesca," I said with tears coming out of my eyes.
"Oh so my sister charges it for you huh"
"I'm going to break this phone in front of your own eyes"
"No please don't do it please. I'll do anything but don't break it"
How am I supposed to talk to Keira?
"You'll do anything right?" He asked smirking.
"Yes Master"
"Alright then... Strip"
What the...?
