Miracle

Chapter XII

Tears just flow out my eyes. Doctor Brice, My former guardian is dead. It's weird since I just saw him yesterday and today... My spine is shivering in pain. It's like I've lost a great part of my life again. Even though we wouldn't talk much, he still was the man who cared for me after my parents died... it's just breaking my soul inch by inch just thinking about it. Dulce walks up to me and holds my hand.

"What wrong Sis..?" She questions me.

"Don't worry Bubbah, it's nothing," I tell her, wiping my tears. I go outside to speak to the Inspector.

"What happened to him?" I question him.

"A heart attack," He tells me. But that didn't add up. Doctor Brice didn't have gastritis or pressure problems which would cause an heart attack. He was perfectly in good health just a day ago. Something felt completely off. Why does my heart tell me that the reason for this death wasn't natural, but forced?

"He was in completely good health," I state.

"Yes, but the reports that we got from the post-mortem reports mean only that," He tells me. Yes, something is completely wrong. I ask him about the Doctor Brice's body and it was made official that the funeral would be tomorrow, at any cost. I end the call and I receive a call from Sarah, the assistant of Doctor Brice.

Me : "Hello?" I say.

Sarah : "Hello, Miracle it's me Sarah. I really don't have time to do chit chat but, I have to tell you something important," She informs me.

Me : "What's wrong?" I question her.

Sarah : "Doctor Brice, He didn't die from a heart attack, was murdered and the police are covering it. I heard the police men talking about it and I'm pretty sure it's because of the mafia," She tells me. My heart freezes. Is the Mafia trying to find me? How does he know? What is going on...

Sarah : "The mafia is unbeatable. You know that book Brice gave you? Read it and burn it off as soon as possible," She informs me.

I agree to what she says and follow exactly what she told me. I cut the call, being worried on a totally new level. Our live's are in danger. I walk inside and get the book from the cupboard without making Dulce worried. I go to the dinning table, place the book on the table and begin reading it. It's actually my mother's diary but Doctor Brice wrote what happened after her death. Mother met him, the mafia when she was already married to dad. Their wedding was pleasant, simple and elegant. The mafia followed her everywhere. He stalked her day and night while he was married as well with 2 children. How disgusting of him. He asked mother frequently about her decision and she rejected. She had Dulce later and thought her life was going to be better, but he still continued. Mother couldn't go through more and completely insulted him as well as slapped him in front of a crowd. He got furious and left. That's how much Mother wrote. I guess this is where everything ended... The mafia came back some time later and killed both my mother Savannah and father Isaac together because of his anger. I start to tear up before Dulce comes and wipes them away.

"Don't worry Miracle, Scary stories are just there for a bit. They'll go away, don't worry," She tells me. With her words, I hug her clueless, not knowing what to do. I'm sorry Dulce but this scary story will never end in our life... It's the reality we're destined to live with. Aunt Renee knows the Mafia, Maybe tomorrow I could speak to her about this? Or I could call her. Maybe I should do that right now. I pick up my phone to call Rylee.

Me : "Oh, Hi Rylee," I say.

Rylee : "Please, don't call me again. I'll speak to you in school," She tells me and cuts the call.

What's gotten into her? Right now, When I need her help most, she's rejecting me completely. I haven't done anything to upset have I... I mean she was fine with me this very morning. Seconds later, I get a message from "him".

Him : "Hi".

Me : "Hi there!".

Him : "How are you?".

Me : "Good, you?".

Him : "Fine, I was with my friends,".

Me : "Oh. Who are your friends?".

Him : "Damien, and Dominic,".

Wait a second, this guy is friends with Dominic? No way, there's a million Dominic's in this world but not a lot in Arizona. But in the end my suspicion is wrong... The guy I've been messaging so far is not Dominic. Even though, it would have been nice if it were him...
