And they did against their own free will. And I get angry so I beat the subject, Laylah like I am smashing something. It feels good. I continue the bashing without remorse. Laylah turns red. Her skin is bitterly red. All the beating peeled some part of her skin. I continue for a very long time till she lets out a faint word. One below my hearing range and all I can hear was a bold "No!" It is from outside of the room I stand bashing Laylah.


My dad shouts. His sisters ask why he yells. 


'Stop her now her breaking point has been exceeded.' They just can't understand what he means. They just stand there confused. I stand in my room upstairs getting blood spilled all over my face. While my father runs at full speed but it just seems he slows.

WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER?

I still wander in the forest letting the sun rays bathe me. I can't see a thing. My head is in disarray. It is at times like this I need her, Anne. But Nathaniel locked her up. I don't know how but he did. Now everything is coming to me. 


From the moment I started watching Laylah, the neighborhood felt different. I felt new. Evolved. But I didn't pay attention to it then. I thought it didn't matter but here I am. 


My head is hot. Headaches came rushing in and still are rushing. I'm hearing those sounds I always hear, frogs croaking. 


I find myself out on the road. I can see tall trees and the coal graveled floor but my utmost priority is Nathaniel "How dare he?" 


I have mistaken the library incident to be a dream. I know a piece of me was missing. And Nathaniel made me find it. It's like he planned all of this in a stepwise manner and I am the chess piece lurking close to danger.
