Untamed

Epilogue

Rachel's POV
I sat on the cold floor with my back against the wall. My face tears stained and horror-stricken. I was in a state of shock as I just stared into space. The front of my dress was covered with Frank's blood and I was terrified.

I broke out of my shock state at another ear piercing scream of the twins and wobbled to pick them from the court. I continuously moved them back and forth to comfort them. Their temperature was very high and I could tell they were coming down with fever. I planted a soft kiss on their foreheads as they drifted off to sleep, a lone tear escaping from my eye.

I quickly took my phone with trembling hands after laying them back in their court and dialled the police emergency code.

" Hello, how may we help you?" An officer said on the other line.

" I think I just killed someone in my house," I stated dejectedly and slumped down on the floor, the implication of the whole issue weighing down on me. Meanwhile, I could still hear the other person on the line anxiously calling out.

The police arrived at my house about fifteen minutes later and took Frank's body to the hospital. He was confirmed dead upon arrival and the only thing that saved me from being jailed was the CCTV recording from the camera that was surveilling the kids' room. Micheal had indirectly saved my ass again since he installed them in the room.

I was given to a psychologist to help me back on my feet. As much as talking to a professional was helpful, my daily readings of the Bible was the one thing giving me the strength to cope . Micheal has been officially declared dead by the police upon watching the video, but I just couldn't accept it. I felt that he was out there somewhere and my psychologist said it was just a stage in grieving.

I shook my head to bring my mind back to the present. Today was the twins birthday and I had organised a birthday party for them. The others were helping me arrange things.The program was in about an hour's time.

" Desmond come and sit here!" I commanded the younger one who had a tight grip on his senior brother. He was so energetic and restless.

" Mommy I wats chu play," he said, his eyes glazed over with unshed tears.

" Come for ice cream," he eagerly let go of his brother's attire and came for it.

" Give the other one to your brother and sit down quietly," I chastised in a stern voice.

" Yes mommy," he cutely said before jogging over to his brother to give him his which he returned with a toothless grin.

" He,y birthday boys how you doing," Nelly asked before bending down to their level to place a soft kiss on thier cheeks.

" Fine aintwi," They enthusiastically replied before Desmond Junior put his hand around her begging for a piggy ride. Nelly eagerly obeyed and Senior began to cry when he was left sitting.. I could tell from the gesture of his hand he wanted to be lifted too and Nelly did that.

" Girl your boys are so heavy," she stated when she got to where I was standing arranging the cake.

" I know right," I responded and gave a warm smile.

"Let's go dress them up for the event since it will be starting in thirty minutes time," I stated and Nelly eagerly agreed.

****
The twins classmates came with their guardians and most of the kids were now running around playing after the cake cutting. The adults were standing in twos and threes conversing.

" Nelly was are the twins?" I questioned her when I couldn't see them around anywhere.

" They are playing with the other kids," She stated and pointed outside.
