Unlocking Wonderland

Worse Than The Movies

The next day I can hear something clicking and giggles.

I groaned and moved, I hear Nick groan, his arm tightening around me.

“What the hell…” he groaned.

“This would be the perfect come back photo…” I heard one of the twins say.

My eyes automatically snapped open, photo?

I felt Nick sat up, making me fall on the pillow with a thumph! I groaned and opened my eyes and saw the twins with their phones out and Patch giggling between them in all fours.

“You little dip…” I hear Nick mumbled under his breath before rushing out of bed and ran after the twins.

While I was left there open mouthed and surprised, until I felt a kiss on my cheek. Patch giggles and threw her arms out and shouted “spise!”

I laughed and hugged her, “I think you mean good morning.”

I laid her in bed and kissed her all over making her laugh and squeal.

“I thought I’d find you here.”

I looked up and saw Aunt Hannah walking toward us.

“Morning.” I greeted with a smile.

“Good morning.” She says kissing me on top of my head, as she picked up Patch. “And good morning to you too.”

Patch threw her arms around her neck and gave her a big sloppy kiss, “Spise!”

This time we both laughed.

“Church is in a couple of hours.” She said, “You’d want to get ready , then we’ll have brunch out.”

I nodded and made my way out of bed as she walked out of the room with a giggling Patch who was telling her about Nick running after the twins.

I walked into the bathroom, this time, I went straight to the shower room since I already put the robe and my towel the day before inside.

Nick was such a boy tossing and leaving his wet towel over his bed.

I soaped myself when I felt a tingle down my neck and I turned around, this time I saw a silhouette of someone standing in front of the mirror.

I screamed and grabbed the towel to cover myself, in time to see the figure run out of the bathroom. I wrapped myself with the robe and ran out as well, wanting to find Nick, but as I was stepping out of the bathroom, he was making his way inside the room with the twins and his parents behind him.

I ran up to him and hid my face on his chest.

“Keyana… baby girl, what’s wrong?”

“Someone…” I said in between sobs, “Someone was in the bathroom… I…” I reached for between my stomach and my chest, there was a tightening there and I can hear myself gasping for breath.

“Keyana relax…” Nick says.

“Someone… I saw…” I continued, “Nick, there was someone… he was watching me… someone…”

This time he just pulled me to him and hugged me, letting me cry.

“Shh, it’s ok, I’m here…” he whispered.

“I’ll check with security.” I heard his mom said.

“Let her lie down, I’ll check on her.” his dad says.

Nick picked me up and laid me in bed.

“Nick come here…” I heard one of the twins say.

But before Nick can even let me go, I grabbed his shirt and tightened my hold.
