The Silence Beckons

Chapter 7

*Sang's POV*

Becoming more aware to my surroundings, I feel wrap in something warm, and suddenly I'm shocked out of the darkness by "GODDAMMIT LUKE STOP CHUGGING THE HOT CHOCOLATE LIKE YOUR A MAN IN A DESERT, AND ITS WATER!!!"

Huh that's why they said he screams because he cares... Opening my eyes slowly I notice we are in the family room and everyone is sitting in the couches around the room. Looking towards the screaming I see Luke with a huge mug of hot chocolate licking the mug clean, and North scowling at him, I silently giggle at the sight.

North snatches the mug from Luke, saying "you have already downed 4, you do not need another one."

"Bbbut but, Nooorthhhh you never let me have hot chocolate!" a pouting luke says downtrodden staring at the mug with so much longing

"Never let you have it!? You had 2 cups of it at the diner yesterday!" North says incredulously looking to members of his group for help. Looking around the room, I notice Kota looking towards my position on what I assume is a couch. "She's awake, Sang how are you feeling?" Kota says coming towards me, and crouching down a few feet from my head.

Pushing my index finger towards my mouth, I look around at the others, trying to find my farfar, looking to kota I sign "I'm okay, what happened? Where is my grandfather? How long was I out for?"

"You were only out for about 30 minutes Ms. Garnier, and your grandfather, and the other two gentlemen are dealing with the maid. I believe Mr. Valter is the one who carried you to the family room, while we were waiting they decided to confront Ms. Kann. We are supposed to let Mr. Garnier known when you woke." Mr. Blackbourne said as he pulls out his phone and texts farfar.

The door to the family room opens about 5 minutes later, and in walks farfar, Erik, Valter, and Ashley. Looking towards them, I give a little smile, and sign to Ashley "Can I please get some white hot chocolate?"

Ashley nods with a subdue smile, and wraps the blankets around me tightly, making sure not to touch my skin, and leaves the room quickly.

I try to untangle myself from the blankets to try and get my arms free again, but I'm so tightly packed that all I can do is wiggle around looking like an earthworm.

Looking pleadingly at farfar, Erik, and Valter to help me out, farfar chuckles, as he comes to help me out of the blankets of death, while the others are snickering from their respective places.

"How are you min älskling?" farfar asks as sits at the lounge directly in my eyesight.

"I'm fine, a little embarrassed, but fine. What is going to happen with Kann?" I sign to him after I sit up with my back resting on the arm of the couch.

Farfar sighs, and replies "You know this isn't her first infraction, nor her second. I had to let her go, I don't want you have to live in fear because one of the maids doesn't know how to follow instruction."

Ashley walks in my my beverage, frowning at how my arms are out of the blankets, she hands the mug to me, thanking her with one hand, she smiles warmly at me and goes to sit in the corner of the room closest to me.

I take a sip of my drink and nod to farfar looking at him in the eyes letting him know, I understood.

"If I may, what has Ms. Kann done to have her fired?" Mr. Blackbourne says as he lifts his glasses up his face.

"We have given the woman two chances before, and her mistakes are no longer tolerable, nor appropriate with her lack of being to follow direction. She has entered Sang's music room, with the door closed, when she knew her vocal instructor was helping her with a concert the next day, causing unnecessary stress to Sang. She has also been verbally violent to the other staff she felt were advancing their spots in the household and she was still a low level maid." Erik states to the rest of the room with his arms crossed, and an annoyed expression on his face.

Looking at the others, I watch the expressions on their faces range from annoyed to understanding to furious. The later being from North, Gabriel, and Nathan, the former from the rest of the group.

Glancing at farfar, I sign "I'm going to go bed, I will see everyone in the morning, goodnight."

"Alright älskling, sleep well, if you need anything just text me, or Ashley" farfar saysas ashley helps me get up from the couch.

He kisses my forehead and I leave the room with Ashley's arm around my body, keeping the blankets over my body. As we exit the room I hear various "goodnight sang" "goodnight Ms. Garnier."
