Chapter 9 - unfolding secrets iii

"ahh" Bella moaned in pain as she opened her eyes

"why I'm I tired. Mr Collins!" Bella called as she tried freeing herself and then her leg touched someone

"Michel, Michel" Bella called and when he did not respond she kicked him

"ouch!!"

"Michel?"

"what the fuck is going on here and why I'm I tired up" Michel asked

"I don't know Michel, what is going to happen next cos I'm really scared"

"looks like the brave ones are awake" Mr Collins said as he opened the door

"why did you tie us up and where the fuck are we" Bella angrily asked

"you still have the guts to talk rite?" Mr Collins said as stood in front of them

"Are you that desperate?" Michel who has not spoken for a while suddenly ask

"Of course I am"

"I knew you had things up your sleeves that's while I hated you from the first day I knew you" Michel said as he stared daggers at Mr Collins

"and I never liked you for one day too son and if you will let me be I have some questions for this cutie right here"

"I've told you Mr Collins, I dont know where he is, just please let us go" Bella begged

"I can't and I won't, you just need to hold on for two weeks and then your faiths will be decided. See you after two weeks" Mr Collins said with smile and headed towards the door

"are you not going to set us free?"

"No sweetheart"

"No food and water until after two weeks?" Bella asked and Mr Collins nodded

"that's not going to be fair at all, you can keep me in here for years but pls Mr Collins don't stave me cos I'm gonna die" Bella begged while Michel stared at her like she has gone mad

"I'm sorry cutie, see you" Mr Collins said and left not without locking the door behind him

"I feel like ripping off his heart and eat it, I will make a good meal" Bella said as she stared at the loved door

"where is Peter" Michel suddenly asked

"I don't know, he just disappeared" Bella said with sadness in her voice

"I'm hungry" Bella said out of the blue while Michel just stared at her like he saw an alien

"I always knew you were weird"

"Nd why do you say so"

"How can you be asking for food from someone who is ready to kill you and send you to your early grave"

"Not like we are not going to die either"

"Your dad should be back by now"

"He traveled"

"Ohh"

"But what's this all about"

"You re such a dummy, I wonder how you made my sister like you"

"Cos I'm cute and I'm a rare germ and I can see ghosts"Bella said the last part with a smile

"And that's why we are here,wonder who told him about you"Michel said and they all went silent thinking who might have told his father

.....

"Michel is not yet back"Rose said worriedly

"Talking as if you care"

"Of course I do,I'm not as wicked as you are"Rose said as she stared at Mark

"What if they are spending beautiful time together and maybe are caught up in the moment"

"You should learn to think like your age"

"I should be telling you this too"

"Just waiting for the perfect moment to humble you"Rose said as she stared daggers at Mark

"Not like I care"

.....

"He keeps talking in parables,how do he think I will find my body"peter said to no one in particular

"Hey watch out"a kid about his age shouted at him

"He can see me?"Peter asked a little bit loud

"Of course I can,I'm not human either. You should know me by now,I'm just hanging around waiting for the day I can send you to hell"The little boy said

"What!!?"

"Scared?,you better dont be cos I'm not a reaper. I'm just hanging around waiting for the day I'll be gone and what about you "the little boy asked

"I dont know,I just got to find out that I'm not dead but I've been locked somewhere"

"I dont think it's a good thing,I've seen people like that.They dont get through it,you can though and that's if you do the needful. I have somewhere to go, catch up with you later"The boy said and left making Peter wonder what happened to the jovial kid he just met and then he remembered Mr Lucas words

"Shit,Bella"Peter said and hurried to her house

...

"Have you tried freeing yourself?"Bella who sat still watching Michel struggle with the robes asked

"You already know the answer"

"It was a bad idea coming here"Bella said as she stared friendly at the robe

"Just shut up and think positively you moron"

"Oh pls dont shout at me ,its all your fault"

"Look whose talking, If you have locked the door like I said ,we wont be here by now"Michel said angrily

"How do you expect me to lock my door when it's not even late"

"And when I told you that we should leave ,if you had done that we won't be here"

"How do you expect me to run away from my house"Bella asked

"There is no point talking with you since you don't want to accept your mistakes",Michel said as he stared daggers at her

"Not like I care"Bella said as she rolled her eyes at him
