Do you believe in what your eyes see? This is the question that has been haunting me ever since that day, a day that will forever be etched in my memory.
It was an ordinary day, or so I thought. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over the horizon. I was walking down a familiar path, one I've traveled countless times. The air was crisp, and the evening breeze was gentle, rustling the leaves of the trees around me. Little did I know, my perception of reality was about to be challenged in ways I could never have imagined.
As I continued my walk, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. A fleeting shadow, darting between the trees. At first, I dismissed it as a trick of the light, a figment of my imagination. But then it happened again, this time more distinct, more real. A figure, translucent yet vivid, glided silently across my path. My heart pounded, a mix of fear and curiosity gripping me.

Have fun reading...
Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her?
Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets?
Where was she for all those years?
This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night?
Sneak Peak-
Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident."
I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said,
"Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider.
Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to.
"You are going with us." He spoke.
One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers.
"Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time.
That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you."
