81 Missing Time (1/2)
The instant that Olivia was back in her room she took a deep breath after she closed the door.She leaned her body against the door and exhaled as she slid downwards towards the plush, powder blue carpet.She crossed her legs and brought her hands to her forehead and sat for what seemed a lifetime.
Olivia tried her hardest to mental sort out her thoughts and quickly gave up.She got off her carpet and walked over to her desk.She pulled out a note book she had in her drawer and grabbed her favorite cherry blossom ink pen.With a heavy sigh she started to write out what the singer told her.
'Yedda and Dhara but you will need to work harder for Vaidehi?If I don't do I die?Mom had same dream, maybe.Singer is who?Possible curse?Why?'she started tapping her pen against her head as she tried to process the information.She groaned and tossed up the pink pen and let it fall were it pleased as she leaned back into her chair.
She looked up at the ceiling, ”Yedda, Dhara and Vaidehi... Yedda... Yedda... Yedda.... I must be nuts!” she shouted as she brought her gaze back to the notebook.”A dream is a dream but....” she mumbled as she stared at the two toned pink and silver ink.
A knock on her door disrupted her concentration.She quickly closed the notebook before she called out ”Come in.” Loreley poked her head in ”What you up too?” she asked nonchalantly.”Whatever you want.” Olivia said with a giggle.Loreley's eyes began to sparkle ”Then lets go to the fun center for our last night out as 'kids', dad's treat!” she said excitedly.
Olivia got up from the chair a little too fast and started to stumble forward.”Olivia!” Loreley shouted as she rushed to catch her.Olivia looked up at her face with a soft smile.”I'm ok Loreley.” she said as she hugged her sister's protective arm.”You sure.” she asked with a ashen faced.
”Just got up to fast that's all.” she said as she started to straighten herself up.Loreley gave her a unconvinced look.”You act like this is all new to you.” she said with a giggle before she froze.Her eyes shot up Loreley's face.”Isthis all new to you?” she said slowly.Loreley averted her gaze and sweat started to roll down her face.
”Don't be silly why would I associate myself with that 'thing'.” she said in a shaky voice, she quickly looked Olivia over and scurried out before Olivia could question her any further.Olivia stared at the door for a while unable to shake off the feeling that something was seriously wrong in the house.
Then she realized her own stupidity.She never asked her family how they lived while she was away.She walked over to the bed and hung her head in shame, her body started to shake as she allowed her tears to fall.
She wiped her tears before she walked out the door, she was determined to talk to her family properly about what had happened even if they weren't ready to talk to her.”Dad!” she shouted as she rushed down the stairs.
....
It ended up that here family wanted to talk to Olivia too but were too afraid to bring it up so they avoided the subject hoping that it would all go away.
Olivia sat back into the sofa as she sighed.”So what you have told me is the truth, you are not hiding anything more from me are you?” she asked earnestly.Avery looked at the twins and shook his head, they quickly dropped their gazes and avoided the question all together.
Olivia was starting to get frustrated she wanted to start yelling at the top of her lungs but swallowed back her screams before so focused on them.She did not want them to hide anything from her anymore and what they told her was so vague that it couldn't even hold water.
”You're not hiding anything more are you?” she said in a dark tone, she narrowed her eyes and allowed the temperature around her to drop.She could see an imaginary snake starting to slither around her preys.
”So you want me to believe that the days just passed by uneventful, Agni was nothing but a perfect 'mother' but you avoided her and the baby she's carrying?She let you live your lives to the fullest everyday because she got what she wanted?” she said coolly.
