A mysterious orphanage is hidden deep down in a village called The Rockhill village this gorgeous breathtaking orphanage has some dark truth behind it an evil wicked witch is hiding the truth safely with her
What is the dark truth?
Can grace (the...
The three of them reach downstairs and go to the dining room
"william!, Grace!" Lilly yells out when she sees them, others also look at them "are you ok william?" Gabriel asks william concerned "yeah I'm feeling ok now" william says that to make everyone less worried
"that's a relief" andy says as he sighs in relief, william smiles warmly, they sit in their own chairs and start eating.
"oh by the way grace where did you disappear to when william was sick?" Gabriel asks "ah thats a long story" "no problem we have time now so tell us" Mary says, grace sighs while not being able to deny her and explains them what exactly happened
but she leaves out william's unconscious part and their bed room part to not make everyone worried and think of them in a weird way
"ohh" gabriel exclaims, he suddenly puts his hand on william who is sitting beside him and starts fake crying
"ugh why did I even sit beside you" william squints his face into a disgusted one while moving away from gabriel, everyone laugh including grace but the mother just stares at grace from the corner anonymously as if she is her next target.... After a while william gets up from his chair
"where are you going?" Grace asks him when he gets up "..well I'm done eating" "are you kidding" gabriel suddenly says with serious face and tone

"Wow I've never seen him like that" Lilly whispers to grace as she is sitting beside her
"me too.." grace says back "yea sit down and eat more" Mary demands to william, he looks at them strangely
"huh?" Gabriel out of the blue pulls william to make him sit down again "you are really skinny and on top of that you get sick pretty often, so you have to eat more to stay healthy!" Gabriel states as he feed william cutely
"jeez fine! I'll eat it by myself" william takes his bowl from gabriel and eats it 'whats wrong with them today?' william thinks
"now that's my boy!" Gabriel hits william's back playfully but he chokes on his food, everyone look at him with a death glare
"oh my goodness I didn't mean to do that!" Mary slaps gabriel's hand "oww" he strokes his hand gently while looking at her with a pouty face, william secretly laughs beside him but gabriel notices that and gasps
"you sneaky little brat!" He whispers to william, grace notices that but doesn't say anything and enjoys seeing those both's friendship infront of her . . After a while everyone finished their meal "it's time to sleep kids it's already past your bedtime" the mother orders kindly
"yes mother!" Everyone reply back with that, the kids go to their rooms and sleep but grace couldn't really have a nighty night 'ughh I can't sleep'....
'how did william have a wound on his body I'm pretty sure it's a wound and the crazy part is.. he had that after he went to the mother' 'is there a chance that...' she stops for a sec
"william is being ABUSED! by the mother!" Grace yells in her room
"ugh what the hell is she shouting in the middle of the night" william says from the beside room in a annoyed tone
"no way...but is it really possible?" Grace continues to brainstorm about it for a while and comes to conclusion
"ugh you know what I'm gonna ask william myself I know he is not gonna tell me anything but there's still a little hope" grace gets up from her bed and goes to william's front door, she sighs
"I can do it!" She whispers loudly, she knocks on the door twice 'hope he is awake' william opens the door unexpectedly faster
"..why the hell are you here?" He asks her "wow you really should learn how to talk to your guests" he scoffs and smiles mischievously at her
"you do still remember that I have all the time in the world to throw you out whenever I want right?" He says coldly
'how does he always make me speechless whenever I talk to him privetly' "are you threatening me?"
'ugh how am I gonna even ask him when he is always behaving like a jerk!?'
"well I don't even need to threaten you, you get threatened by yourself" william replies with sarcasm, grace sighs in defeat
"look I wanna talk to you about something important not this nonsense" "ha you are the one who makes the conversation nonsense" he says as he grins mischievously again "could you listen?" grace was pissed off, william looks away harshly
"look I wanna ask you something serious and please answer me honestly for goodness sake" "and why should I?" William says while frowning his eyebrows, grace inhales with her eyes closed
'ok calm down grace just avoid his attitude' she opens her eyes "cause it's important and let me talk" william looks at her with straight face "um so the thing is... Are you being abused?"
William eyes widenes a little and doesn't answer the question 'c'mon I know you are hiding something' grace looks at him curiously and patiently
"why are you asking that?" William asks her 'ok let's be honest' she says to herself
"cause I saw that strange wound on you just after miss called you inside.. I said that honestly ok so you also do the same and tell me, is the mother abusing you by any chance?" William sighs and looks at her straight in the eyes making her skip a heartbeat "if I should answer that first you tell me the main purpose of you coming here out of nowhere, if you also answer me honestly I'll not throw you out and I'll tell if I'm being abused or not"
'now that's a tempting one if he doesn't throw me out' grace thinks as she sweats "are you sure?, You shouldn't betray me afterwards" william nods "I'm a guy who always stands on his word"
'but is he gonna believe me if I tell him about the time traveling and that grandma is the main purpose that I'm here?' "go on take your time" william says as he folds his hands 'is she really gonna tell me about why she is here, the truth?'
he thinks while he raises an eyebrow, grace looks away hesitantly
