Chapter 5: Her Deathbed

"For heavens sake! How does she know Chayote Vandilla's name?", Georgia screeched as she banged her fists on her table.

"Madam, I don't know. All I know is that ever since she went here, she kept on screaming out  Chayote's name. It scares me", Ben began to reply slowly.

"M-madam, why does it matter anyway?", Nevely mumbled.

Georgia sighed heavily and sat down on her chair with her skin very pale. Her hands were shaking continuously as she tried to calm herself down.

"Why do I have to tell you anyway? Now, just prepare me some goddamn soup"

As Nevely was about to walk away, she quickly turned to Georgia and gave her a pleasant smile.

"C'mon Madam. We might as well know in the upcoming future. It's best to say it in front of us right now."

"No"

Looking into Nevely's eyes, her thoughts started to turn deep and dark.

Someone has to know Georgia. If telling a secret is worth sacrificing a life, do it for the sake of humanity.

Trembling with fear, Georgia started to talk with her hands gripped tightly in the table.

"It all started when I was a young child with my grandmother by my side. As you know my grandmother was the founder of this asylum. There was one time where I went here to visit her when I was only 10 years old."

Georgia began trembling more and tears left her eyes.

"W-when I-I s-s-suddenly went i-inside t-the a-asylum, I saw b-bones everywhere. B-bodies were hanged in every corner of the room. Y-yet, n-no b-blood was f-found"

Her breaths started to grow heavier and heavier. Her heart pumping faster than ever.

"I quickly r-ran t-to my grandmother's door. W-when I-I o-opened it, t-there she was laughing and swimming and d-drinking the pool of b-blood. M-my h-heart f-froze."

Ben, Ban and Nevely stared at each other with their eyes glued back at Georgia.

"Madame, what does this mean?"

Georgia stood up and tried to hide her tears. Her fists clenched and her eyes watery red.

"C-cha-y-yote Van-d-dilla was m-my gran-dm-mother. Chayote Vandilla was my grandmother", Georgia finally cried out as she fell onto the ground inhaling her very last breath.

===========================
"So you're telling me that she died after saying Vandilla's name?", the officer said once more confused as he wrote it down on a piece of paper.

"Y-y-yes officers"

"To be honest with you here, I believe you Ms. Nevely about what happened to Madame Georgia because first of all, blood isn't found in any part of the building and two, there are no signs of poison in her body which is giving me somehow the creeps", the officer said.

Nevely sighed and looked at Georgia's body being carried away.

"I just can't believe that she gave out her last breath just like that. Who will guard the mad people here? Who will be in charge?"

Ben and Ban looked at their dead boss with sorrow and sadness. Their tears trying to hide as the look back at Nevely.

"Madame was a very sweet woman. Even if she was a mean jerk to the mad people, she had a tender heart and soul. And now that she's dead, Nevely, you have to be the one in charge of the asylum."

"W-w-what? No. There's no way that I can control those kinds of people. I can't be the leader."

Ben and Ban sighed and nodded their heads. Nevely was right. No one can ever possibly control the mad people, except of course, Georgia.

"There's only one thing left to do. For now, we mustn't tell the people about Georgia's death. Once they know about this, their inner demons will resurrect again for their 'controller' isn't here anymore", Nevely began to reply.

The two men nodded.

"And, never tell Blanc about Chayote being Georgia's grandmother."
