The Last flower

Chapter 5

AUGUST'S POV

Melody was really pretty to look at but her mouth was just something I would never want in a woman. She infuriated me so much I had to lie to her that I beat her grandmother into a pulp. In honesty, I felt sorry for the old bat and laid her down on the couch in my dining room. 

I could never do anything and more painful than what she was going through since Isaac and his dad unplugged her from the machines to bring her here with her granddaughter. She was likely to die before I even feel hospitable enough to offer her a glass of water. So my main focus was not on grandma.

My family followed the tradition of killing the Patricks family which was confusing as one of my grand grandmothers is a Patricks. Augustus men are dominant and when courting a woman, they are confident enough and feel it's a guarantee the girl will be theirs. Papa Cornelius as a chief felt he can get any woman he wanted. Tabitha Patrick's refusing to marry him turned him into a murderous psychopath and now I have to finish what he started. From Tabitha, a bit more than 30 members of the family were killed. With the times and traditions back then, there would have been more members of the family but this family learned quickly not to procreate a lot of children. I can understand why no one wants to suffer that much loss if it's a big family. Do I feel sorry for this girl crying for her grandmother right now, no, it was a means to an end for me. Otherwise, how else was I supposed to fund my extravagant lifestyle?

"Thank god you can feel pain, I was starting to think you don't. I mean there is this prophecy going around saying that the last member of Patrick's family will have powers. Since your grandmother is nearly dead that means you right. Now tell me, sweetheart, what kind of powers do you have", I was curious to know. At the same time, I didn't just in case it was something that could potentially hurt me. 

Melody looked away from me mumbling that l didn't know what I was talking about. 

"Dude, can I go now. Not really enjoying this show you got going on.", Issac said already walking towards the door. "Oh and in case you are still feeling murderous after killing this poor girl, DO NOT even think to come near my family otherwise I will be the one using that trust fund of yours to get rid of your body". With that, he walked out and slammed the door in my face.   

If he wasn't my friend I would have gone after him too. After all that my family has done to him, this is how he repays me. At least he should have helped me since he is the killer here compared to me. I didn't even know where to begin killing these people, I have never done it before. 

"I'm wondering, do you even have any friends left with how you treat them. Threatening friends is not how friendship works", Melody said.

"I really need to cover that mouth of yours. You talk too much", I went by looking for tape or a piece of cloth to cover her mouth with. At that moment my phone rang destructing me from my task at hand. As soon as I answered the phone, my dad did not sound happy on the other side. 

"First of all I'm going to pretend like you did not just threaten my friend and his family into doing your bidding, you will be punished for that once we get to it. Why is my dining room filled with the pool of drool and the smell of granny?", yup that was my dad in my house. 

"Hey dad, glad you could make it. I will be up in a moment" before I closed the door to go up stair, Melody had to open her mouth again. 

"Have fun with daddy Romeo", Arrggg I hate this woman but she was not wrong, my father is going to give me hell as soon as I reach my dining room. I took my time walking up the stairs to my dining room.
