Chapter Eleven

It has been weeks since Tracy has been at school. Jamie was unable to go to Tracy,s house to check up on her, "she has called numerous times, and the phone just rang.

It is Friday afternoon, "Jamie is walking back from school when she notices this couple walking alongside the lake."

She usually takes her daily router to her house. This couple looked a lot like the couple she saw in her dream Lilah,s parents, "Jamie has many unanswered questions regarding her plan.

She stops by the isolated house, "as she turns to go into the house, coming close to the door, she turns around as she hears a whisper saying come in."

Jamie now pushes open the door slowly, looking around the house. It is quiet," every detail in her dream is exactly as she saw it here in the place.

Jamie walks over to the kitchen where Lilah's dad was killed as she touches the drawer. She feels the rough edges of the drawer, noticing the stained blood on the corner of the kitchen drawer.

Walking over to the lounge, she bends down and sees a silver hair clip, the same one Lilah was wearing when she was killed.

Jamie walks over to the window, and she sees the Russians by the door, " It was as if she is reliving the moment. She can see how Lilah,s dad got shot.

"Raphael laying lifelessly on the floor,"

And his dad laying a few meters away in the kitchen, and the mom, this family, was murdered.

Jamie walks to the dusty old cabinet, and she sees a newspaper on the floor. It dates back into the 1940s.

She shakes the dust off the newspaper and sees the front page, a Family of four murdered brutally at their home.

"There was no motive to the murder and suspects at large."

MR.Charles Brighton and MRS. Rebecca Brighton and their two kids Lilah and Raphael, age fourteen, were viciously murdered, with no witnesses. 

"Avery, the youngest is safe." Fortunately, she was not at home when relatives were looking after her.

"This is Glasgow's most brutal murder and tragic incident ever to take place."

Anyone with information, please come forward. This is precisely what Jamie had dreamed.

"Jamie walks up the staircase, entering the room where Lilah was murdered," she walks over to the cupboard where Lilah was hiding. She slowly opens it, looking down, "she notices the rope hanging out the cupboard."

This is precisely how the killers caught Lilah. She now bends down and touches the rope feeling a cold breeze from the corner of the room.

As the shadow immerses her, Jamie crosses her arms as she rubs her arms to warm up.

Jamie walks towards the mirror and looks into it, so you see it all. Hey, Jamie nods her head.

So you dead, no we are not dead. We are within you," What do you mean when you keep saying that?" We are within in Jamie, says Raphael. L

Jamie looks over to Raphael. What happened to you was awful, and I felt everything you were feeling.

"We are within you he repeats."

"Why me, though?"

"You the chosen one."

"You can tell the untold story of what happened to us."

Jamie shakes her head, holding the newspaper in her hand, "Why do you have that in your hand? Says Raphael. It is the newspaper about what happened to this family."

"I have never seen it."

That is because we do not go downstairs, says Raphael. Did this all happen in 1940 on January 12?

Yes, that was about a week ago, a week ago? Says Jamie, We are in the year 2021.

You a funny person, say Lilah. I am not joking, says Jamie. It was eighty years ago Lilah, No! Says Lilah as she paces back and forth. Jamie takes out her phone. Do you know what this is?

No, "What is that? "

"This is a cellphone."

"What is a cellphone?"

This is a transmitter that I can use to get hold of someone not around me; Lilah is walking back and forth.

But why are you worried, Lilah? You are me, and I am you. Yes, Lilah looks up at the mirror. Jamie notices the darkness in her eyes.

Where is Avery?

Suddenly there is a scream in the corner of the room as a women float across the floor. Jamie panics and moves back. Mom relaxes. This is Jamie.

"I know who you are,"

Where did you take my baby? MRS. Rebecca Brighton? Jamie shows Mrs. Rebecca the newspaper.

She is alive, and I am your Mom says Rebecca, I am within you. Those voices were always guiding you. That is me.

"Jamie grins."

I always felt your presence, but I do not like this guy my Mom loves.

"He is touching me inappropriately."

"I know, honey,"

You are now safe.

In the drawer, there is a tiny capsule. All you have to do for mommy is put the pill in his tea, and he will be much nicer to you.

"He will change."

Things will change and get better for you.

"Jamie grins"

"Thank you," Mrs. Brighton, as she shadows now fades, to the corner of the room, Lilah is looking at Jamie "you heard what Mom said we must do."

"We cannot disobey Mommy."

I heard Lilah. We must go, says Lilah, Jamie, Raphael come, I am right beside you, Jamie, arriving home. "Jamie greets her mother and heads upstairs sitting on the bed."

She now phones Christopher, "hey, it has been a while. How you have been doing?"

"You never heard?"

"I never heard what?"

"I got injured in soccer practice."

"I have been home for weeks."

"I never knew."

"I have been trying to get hold of Tracy for a while. She is not answering my calls."

That is strange.

Tracy is fully recovered; she moved to another school,

"She changed schools?"

She never said much, only that she did not want to be at that school.

"She is in an all-girls school."

It is Okay. I hope you have a speedy recovery Christopher, Tell him his sister is a coward for not telling you.

No, I can't she, maybe she is just scared, maybe who is just afraid? Shit, he heard. Jamie hangs up the phone.

You should have told him Tracy is a coward; you should have killed her, says Raphael. "What are you guys saying?"

She is my best friend, A best friend who did not tell you she is leaving the school; luckily you have Raphael and me.

"Yes, I am lucky to have you,"

We will protect you, yes, your brother. We will save you, the voice whispers, do not forget that capsule, honey.
