chapter twenty two

                     Annabel's POV
    
          "Annabel". I heard my name , with the familiar voice I already knew Who it was . I stood up from the bed wearing loose pants and a boyfriend shirt Ronald gave me two days ago which I was thankful for , I was already getting irritated with my clothes that I've been wearing for days now.
         "Annabel" he called again this time walking inside the room. At first I was thinking he was mad at me but taking a closer look at him I couldn't find any trace of anger . I breathe a sign of relief feeling relaxed.
      " You called me?" . I asked adjusting for him to sit beside me .
       " Yes and that's because I have good news for you" .he was saying and I could see a bit of excitement in his tone.
      If he was going to tell me to get ready to leave here then I don't see that as any good news . Where would I go?. I was asking myself now . I wouldn't think once of returning to my house .
      Never.
    "Ehmm........ i .. ehhm" am stammering now. Must I embarrass myself all the time?.
        " Could you tell me what the good news is" . I managed to say finally.
       "Okay before I say anything to you I will ask you this first.are those people truly your parents?"
           " What...... What are you saying . They are my parents" I said staring at him with a confused face.
           " Are you sure?"
           " Why are you suddenly asking me all this?. Fine. I know they are bad, they've treated me horribly but they are my parents" .
       It sounded pale and disgusting calling them my parents but I can't justify the fact that they are.
        " We went to your house yesterday and from the discussion we had am sure they wouldn't want to lay their hands on you. Never again".
     I was certainly in shock . He leaned closer resting his fingers on my lips to close them . Then I realized that I've left my mouth opened in surprised.
       " Am certain that you didn't just have a conversation with them right?". Knowing how Ronald can be am sure he had torture them .
       " You guessed right. And the good news is that since they've hurt you and not me, you will be the one to eliminate them yourself". He muttered out smirking at the same time.
         This was getting serious.
        Standing up from the bed I walked towards the window watching the trees as the wind caress them and suddenly I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I fingetted turning around immediately and took a few steps back letting Ronald hand drop.
         "Look I didn't want to tell you like this but Christin and Dean are not your parents". I chuckled before bursting into laughter resting my back on the wall. Ronald stood in front of me staring without uttering any word probably wanting me to absorb everything he had told me.
     I felt a shiver run down my spine and suddenly feeling cold I slipped down slowly to sit on the floor and from nowhere I started sobbing uncontrollably.
      Bending to my level he removed the strands of hair that has fallen over my face.
        "I ........I... just can't handle this" I muttered in choke sob throwing my arms around his neck hugging him tightly like a frightened little child.
     "Am sorry". I said drawing away from him. " I need time to process everything ". I walked away .
     
   
      I just wanted to be different , I wanted to be something else rather than this girl I am. I was lost in my thoughts walking  helplessly with no direction hoping no one will distract me.
       I always had a feeling that they were not my parents . It was so petrifying and terrific to live in that hell of a house . Not having to know anything like peace and calmness.
       They were bad people and if they aren't my parents I have a feeling that they must have also done something horrible to them which I was already afraid .
      There were alots of questions speculating through my mind which I need answers to . And the only people who have those answers were those evil beasts.
        Still going to where I don't know, I walked towards another corridor. I must say this place was big and I wasn't going to find my way back so easily. I heard a voice from  a room of someone muttering out some curses. Turning to see who it was I locked my eyes on.........................

        Oh no . I fell to the ground my eyes weak and not seeing anything properly before they closed and that was it I couldn't here anything again .
       I became unconscious.
