Chapter 44

Miguel's POV

"We can't Miguel, you need to have your rest." Donald looked reluctant.

I don't know what came over me.

you can blame my actions on my kidnap days ago. 

"Please Donald, I don't want to stay alone here," I looked around the room in fright.

" am afraid he might come after me in my dreams. With you three here I might sleep soundly than I would have alone."  I gave him my best puppy dog eyes " please Donald, I don't want to be all alone in this room."

He shook his head " you don't understand Miguel, we can't stay here with you in this state,"  he looked at his brothers who nodded in agreement to his words.

Since they don't want to. I can enlist the help of others although I would have preferred theirs.

Anyone will do so far as they're humans and not demon possessed wolves, they will do.

"Okay, since you three don't want to stay with me based on reasons best known to you three, can you at least call either Delight or Richard to stay with me?"

they will stay with me if I ask nicely.

" No!" the three shouted in unison " we won't let them close to you,"they seethed in anger.

" if they so much as come near you we will personally dismember them," they threatened the poor boys who might be in their house now.

I gave them a confused look "why won't you have them near me? you three declined my invitation to keep me company to prevent my nightmare from catching up with me, yet you don't want others to do the job your refused?"

I don't understand this triplets.

I might have forgotten about their odd behavior towards me, but now am back with them, I can recall most of the strange things they do.

"We will stay with you, you don't need any other person so far as we're here," Damien said as he sat on one of the three chairs in the room.

It might have been days, but I still remember our falling out, the reason why he did what he did that day still evades my mind.

I would have asked him for that if not for my fear they might leave me here alone if I talk off it.

"We will stay here till you sleep."  Donald and Daniel took a sit on the remaining chairs.

I smiled coyly, making use of the blanket to shield my face from them "thanks." 

Them being in the same room as I am in without touching me doesn't satisfy me. 

 I want to feel familiar arms on me to reassure myself am no more in the clutches of that old devil.

With secret smile on my face, I turned towards the wall pretending to sleep.

I must have stayed mobile for thirty minutes, making sure I evened my breath.

I don't want them to know am not yet asleep, my plan will be thwarted if they know of what am planning.

After some minutes, I turned in my pretend sleep, groaning as I did so.

"Please don't,"  I shook my head making sure to kick off the blankets ( to be a good actor one must make the acting more believable).

I groaned again flinging my hands and legs as I did so "please don't, don't touch me, dont!!" 

I felt their hands on me.

"Miguel, Miguel wake up," I  heard Daniel say.

Opening my eyes in pretend surprise I looked around.

"did I wake you up?" I asked with an innocent look on my face ( I've been told the looks works for me, no one can suspect me when I give the that look).

"No you didn't,"Damien  brushed his hair off his face "we were never asleep." 

"What were you dreaming about this time around?" Donald asked as he softly caresses my face.

I leaned closer to him touch craving the softness I need.

" I was dreaming of him." I  didn't need to say more on it for them to understand who I was talking about.

" It's okay love, he won't get to you,"  Damien said as they stood up aiming to go back to the chairs they were previously occupying.

Oh no, you dare not. I won't allow you go back after putting on my best acting show, no no you dare not.

I held unto Damien this time around, who knows if he will grant my wishes faster than Donald did.

"please can you three stay with me?"

He gave me an incredulous look "we're not going anywhere of course. We're going to our chairs, we promised to keep you company, and we will fulfil our promise to you," he made to stand.

I shook my head " I didn't mean the chair,"I  pat  the bed,

"I want you three to stay with me here.

The bed is so spacious am confident it can contain us four." I bit my lips.

I've seen my mom biting her lips whenever She's asking something from dad.

That looks seems to work for her. I  hope it also works for me, am not an expert in these kind of things like she is, but I know I can cope with that.

"I don't think it's a good idea,' Daniel shook his head.

"it's one thing you be in the same room as you're, and another to lie on the same bed you're lying on."

What can be wrong in being in the same room as I?

" I just want to feel someone's presence beside me. Who knows if the nightmares will leave when it detects your presence?" I  looked up at them.

" We just can't,"  Donald looked down at me.

Since the Richard card worked earlier, it wouldn't hurt to try it again right?

" If it were to be either Richard or Delight, they wouldn't question me on my reasons, they will just honor my request no matter what it is." I turned towards the wall pretending to sulk.

I made use of those names to make them do my bidding.
