Delilah's reign

chapter 13{ Bringing Delilah }

"He's dead.. your father is dead"

I could feel the breath in my lungs come to a pause and my feet loose balance underneath me as droplets of tears ran down my cheeks, every sound became a distant echo

The feeling of my body colliding with the cold flour was all i could feel, numb, suddenly weak and unable to utter a word

I watched Alonxo rush towards me getting on his knees as he called out my name

"Del!... Del" he yelled wrapping me in his arms around me, with me barely conscious
My eyelids grew heavier, my body numb causing me to slip into darkness

"He's dead..your father is dead"

Those words played repeatedly in my head causing me pain as i entered my dark slumber

--------

even as i felt myself drift into total nothingness, the feeling of my heart breaking into a million pieces tormented me with every breath i took

"del" a distant voice called slowly pulling me out of my unconsciousness as my eyelids grew lighter allowing me to open my eyes

"we need to go, I need to see him, it--it can't be true Alonzo it can't" I said, tears rolling down my cheeks as i felt my sanity slowly slipping away

"shuu, it's gonna be okay" he said gently wiping a tear off my cheek as his other hand brushed my hair

"I need to see him Alonzo, he can't be gone" I said sobbing heavily as he pulled me in for a tight hug

tides of tears to rolled down my cheeks as Alonzo held me up wiping the tears away but it was of no use. it felt as though all the tears I had kept in since my mom's death came out rendering me unable to utter a word all I could do was cry my heart out as I felt the world slowly loose meaning to me.

"I need to see him" I said still subbing

"I know, I know.... I'm sorry" he said wiping away the tears that rolled down my cheek

A few hours later we were driving to my home, I looked out the window but I didn't feel the tingling sensation I used to feel when I watched the trees and houses go by every time i took a ride

I felt his warm masculine fingers wrap around mine as he gave it a gentle squeeze

"it's gonna be okay" he said keeping his fingers intertwined with mine

minutes later we were at my house, I watched the huge gates slide open as multiple guards wondered around the house.

I walked up the very familiar steps as slowly as I could scared of seeing the gruesome scene the lurked behind the door

finally in walked in with Alonzo still holding my hand

"Belleza" fabia called out rushing towards me her cheeks stained with dried tears, I wrapped my arms around her giving her a tight hug

moments later she let go looking me straight in the eyes a sad smile on her face

"where is he?" I asked, my voice below a whisper with pain evident

"Belle, you shouldn't---"

"where is he?" I asked again

"his room" she said looking away

I walked up the stairs Alonzo trailing behind

"I wanna do this alone" I said stopping him in his tracks

"I understand" he said turning on his heels as he walked back to Fabia

with every step I took my heart became heavier, I reached for the doorknob mentally bracing myself for what was behind
