Isabella was on her way to the other house to see her family. She hadn't gone there yesterday because she had been too caught up her in friendly conversation with Ciara to have noticed that time had flew so fast, and regarding yesterday...
She looked down at her wrist again. The particular spot the pain had shot out from, and the only thing she could think of was that bracelet that the blue eyed man had worn on her. If that was what really caused the pain yesterday, then that bracelet was definitely trouble.
It's better she throws it out, she's just too afraid that once he finds out it's gone he's gonna spill all her beans to Adrian, and that would be the end of her. She can't afford to be exposed any time soon.
Also, The tingly feeling running through her back and making her feel uncomfortable told her that someone was somewhere watching her. She always knew, but she doesn't knows who. She trusted her instincts a lot, and that tingle in her back always told the truth.
Someone was watching her... but who could it be?
Once she got to the house, she locked the gate and the front door before proceeding further in. Dave and Jess were already in the sitting room, standing there watching her like they knew she was just about to arrive.
Dave was jumping around, a big smile on his face. He looked very pleased with himself, "See, I told you. I told you mum was gonna come in now. I told you! " He said excitedly, before he jumped into her arms.
" And how did you know I was coming?" She inquired, looking between the both of them.
Jess shrugged, looking confused herself while Dave wouldn't stop squealing happily, " I know When you're coming now! I know it! I know it, I told Jess, I know it!"
" Is that what's making you so Happy?" She looked at her son.
" You didn't come in yesterday!" Jess said, looking a bit sad as she walked up to them, " But you met up with the doctors yesterday didn't you? How did it go? What Did they say? Would I be having my surgery soon? Hm Isa?"
Bella helped herself to the couch, placing Dave right beside her, " James and I went together. I'm sure you're gonna love Dr Andrew. James had spoken with his again earlier this morning, and he's booked a meeting with him in the next two days so you can meet him, and get the procedure started"
The sad look on her face vanished, replaced with pure joy, " Really? He really really said that?"
"James wouldn't lie about this " Isabella smiled, " and be sure to thank him when next you see him, he's done a lot for all of us"
" Wow, your boss is a really good guy. He comes in sometimes and speaks to the house caretaker Miss Granger, but we've never really talked that much. He only plays with Dave sometimes" She shrugged, " but I'll say something when next he comes by. He's a really, really nice guy!" She beamed.
" Yes, he sure is" Isabella agreed.
" I wonder how mum and dad would be feeling right now if they were here with us. I bet they would be so happy for me! Right, Bella?"
Isabella Froze. If those people were alive right now, she would bet that they would rather spend all that money on stupid things that didn't matter than take care of their own daughter. She would bet her life on that. Jess didn't know who they really are, she was young when they both died, so she had no idea who those people are.
They were incapable, they were deceitful, they were heartless and cruel, they would do literally anything to get what they wanted, they would act like angels amongst people and would become the devil's they truly are when no one was watching. Those are the kind of people Jess had for parents, and Bella was glad that Jess didn't know that, she didn't know about anything that went down, it's better that way. Her health is still at stake so it's better that way for all of them.
" Miss Granger is coming, she's gonna come in soon. She's coming, she's coming. I know it's her, she's coming" Dave suddenly started up again, and they both looked down at him.
"From where? " Bella asked, looking around. She wasn't hearing any footsteps coming from anywhere.
Dave pointed at the front door, " there. She'll be here soon"
" That's the same thing he did right before you came in and in the next few minutes you walked in" Jess explained, shaking her head.
Isabella blinked. Wait...what??! She stared at her son for a few seconds, then looked at the door. Then back at her son again. No way that happened. No way miss Granger's gonna walk in. No way! That didn't happen, no way.
The gate first opened, and the all looked through the window to see the shock of the day. Just like Dave had predicted, The caretaker was walking down the compound to come inside the house. Immediately, Bella hauled her son into her arms and rushed into a nearby room with him.
"Stay " she said to Jess.
Once they were inside the room, she faced her son who had jumped on the bed and rolling on it. First, he knew she was gonna come in, and next was Miss Granger. He couldn't just have predicted that-he had been so confident that they were the ones coming and just like he said... No way!
"Come here " she found her voice trembling a bit. She walked up to the bed and pulled him into her arms, gently rocking him.
"Dave? "
"Hm? "
" Tell me a story"
"Yeyyyyy, which one? Which one? "
" About how you knew that Miss Granger was coming?"
He looked up at her with a frown, " That's not a story!"
"Ah, I thought it was. How about we make it one? Let me be the first to hear it "
" Really?
Isa nodded, holding her breath.
" I can smell her coming" he Said.
No way that's possible, " What do you mean you can smell her coming?"
" My Nose" he continued his explanation, " I can smell her coming, just like I can smell you. Your body smell, it's in the air so I can smell it when you're near"
That was beyond human capability. If she was correct-which she dearly prayed she wasn't, then he was coming up with a supernatural sense, like that of a werewolf. How it's ears can pick up sounds from far away, or how their noses can pick up scents of people around them, pack members and others.
" When did this start? " She inquired again.
" I don't know mum" he replied, "Is anything wrong? "
She managed to crack up a laughter, like everything was completely fine with her, "of course not. Everything is just perfect. Thanks for telling me this story "
" You like it? " His eyes shone.
She nodded, " of course I do. And I love it sooo much that I would really appreciate it if I was the only one who hears about it. It'll be another one of our special keeps-a secret story just between me and you, and then I'll buy you some candy when I'm coming next! "
" I love candy! And I love secrets! Yeyyyyy" he pulled up his Pinky and extended it towards her. She put hers around his and they both locked it in.
"No one else can ever know about this! " They said in unison like they always did whenever they shared a secret with each other. Once the pinky swear was in and done, she wrapped her hands once more around her son, hugging him tightly.
Her face stared at a distance in horror. This wasn't a dream, it's real. Something is happening to her son, something that shouldn't happen to anyone. She knows she's human, so he's not getting this unusual traits from her. The only thing she could think of was his father... The man that raped her nine years ago. Now that she thought about it, everything had happened so fast that night... With extraordinary speed.
Isabella gaped in more horror. Dave's father wasn't human, and her son had inherited his father's abilities.
###################################
Ciara was dumbfounded.
She was currently walking down the street, trying to process all what she's just heard. She had followed Alexa as usual, and had hidden herself close to the house. She was more concerned about her since yesterday's events, and wanted to be there for her Incase it happened again- and of course continue on with the mission given to her.
But now... What was going on??!
Looking up, she saw her most trusted beta- Carlos Benson walking towards her. They came across each other, and he delivered what he had been sent to tell her
"Big Boss would be travelling tomorrow morning. Kendrick said he's asked you to report to him immediately if there's anything "
Ciara controlled her heartbeat at first before Carl would notice something was off about her. Kendrick was the third division leader.
She couldn't believe her ears. That woman she had been sent to watch- she wasn't Alexa Watson. She's only pretending to be Alexa Watson because they resemble each other.
That Woman has a son and a sister. The sister was the one who's gonna be having surgery soon, and the Son...the son was beginning to develop senses that humans shouldn't have.
Meaning he's not human. Ciara wasn't completely sure if Bella was human herself from what happened yesterday, but now It's beginning to clear up little by little. It could be from the kid's father, or Alexa...Bella herself.
The kid was slowly turning. But, the symptoms shouldn't be appearing this early, he's still a kid. There was only one reason why that would be happening to him. She didn't want to believe it.
But all in all, the main News here was that, She isn't Alexa Watson!! No wonder she was so nice and easy to get along with. This is definitely something The boss has to know about...
But, After spending the evening with her yesterday- The pure, yet sad aura Alexa...Bella radiated yesterday...
Ciara almost cursed under her breath. She couldn't believe she was doing this! She's never ever done something like this before, and she couldn't believe she was about to do it now.
God-damnit! Why? Why did Bella had to be so nice and friendly? It would have been so easy to report her if she had been harsh and arrogant... but she had managed to make Ciara secure a soft spot for her.
A friend.
"Go back and tell him, there's been nothing unusual about her. Once there is, I wouldn't hesitate to report myself! "
Bella owes her big time, but she doesn't knows it yet
