LIV POV
Vickie was reading the diary audibly when I saw a shadow, or should I say something that looks like a shadow, it was moving strangely towards the library door. I was frightened when I saw it coming toward me
"Vickie! Babe! Something is coming our way. It’s right over there" I panicked as I pointed at it
I turned around and looked at Victoria and Lyon who were still focused on reading the diary. It was like they didn’t hear me nor did they acknowledge my presence
"Babe, something is coming, I don’t know what it is but it’s right over there" I said as I pointed at it.
They didn’t move an inch, which was very terrifying, Lyon and Vickie will never ghost me like that especially when I’m talking about something very important.
"Babe, listen to me there is something over there, we have to leave this room urgently before anything happens" I said immediately after I stood right in front of him.
"Babe! Vickie! say something, why are you guys still reading the diary, we have to go now" I panicked as the shadow came closer.
"Babe! Vickie! let’s go now" I yelled but there was no sound coming from my mouth.
I was running nuts, I had no idea what to do. Vickie and Lyon weren’t listening to me and now my voice is gone.
I was about to call out their names again when a voice whispered from behind. I was too scared to turn back and see who it was
"Babe, I think the shadow is behind me" I whispered after I closed my eyes.
"Olivia, Olivia it’s me, Sandra," the voice said
"No! It’s not real, Sandra can’t be here, it’s the music, it’s messing with your brain. It’s not real" I continuously muttered
"Olivia, I know you’re scared but you have to listen to me, I am your sister, your coco butter," she said calmly
"Sandra" I whispered as I turned back, I came face to face with my long-lost cousin, she was more a sister less a cousin. I used to call her coco butter when we were kids because her skin was smooth and fresh which reminds me of coco butter skincare cream.
I instantly embraced her as tears rolled down my cheeks. I had never thought I will see her again.
"I miss you soo much, Sandra, I really miss you" I whispered
"I miss you too Olivia, uncle told me you were here. And I thought this will be the perfect time for us to be sisters again" she giggled
I quickly stepped backward
"This isn’t real, Sandra died years ago, it can’t be her" I whispered to myself
Immediately I stepped backward, my feet stepped on something, I turned back to check what it was when I noticed Vickie and Lyon weren’t in the room
"They were sited right here a few minutes ago. Where did they go to" I thought
"Babe, Vickie, where are you" I screamed but there wasn’t any response from them.
"I know where they are Olivia," Sandra said as she placed a hand on my shoulder
I stared at her for a moment, she didn’t give me a creepy smile nor did she give me a strange feeling of something terrible.
"Stay away from me. You’re not real, everything isn’t real" I screamed
As I pushed her away, I felt a strange feeling in my body. It was like I lost control over myself.
"I know where they are Olivia, just come with me" she mumbled as she gave me a hand.
I didn’t want to go with her, but I had no choice. Something was definitely wrong with my body.
I held her hand and walked out of the room with her.
"It’s about time you know what your boyfriend is doing behind your back. Olivia, you don’t deserve him, you don’t deserve this world. Come with me and you will be scared no more" she whispered as we walked down the stairs
She stopped walking when we got to the living room
"Where are they, I thought you said you know where they are"
She gave a creepy smile as she pointed at the room next to Lyon’s
"They are in there" she whispered
I glanced at her for a moment. That blue eyes of hers look just like my uncles, her fair flawless skin reminds me of old times, those days when she models skin care creams.
"I really miss her" I thought
That creepy smile she had on her face brought me back to reality.
"Enter the room, you will find Victoria and Lyon there. Go!" she yelled
I walked gently to the door, my heart was beating fast, and I had no idea why I was walking toward the room. My body was in my control but I have no idea why I was doing what Sandra told me to do.
As I got to the room door, I turned back and gaped at the exact position Sandra was standing.
"She’s gone" I whispered to myself
There was no sign of her being there, it was like she vanished.
Immediately as I opened the room door, I saw something that horrified me to the extent I had to blink my eyes to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. I had never thought I will come across something like this before. It was worse than the shadow or creator that has been haunting me.
I felt tears rolling down my chin continuously.
Lyon and Victoria were laid on the bed kissing each other passionately, they did acknowledge my presence for a bit as they continued to smooch.
This can’t be possible, it’s the music, it’s messing with my head. But why, why will the music do something like this? This isn’t the music, is it?
I had billions of questions on my mind as trillions of hated filled my heart.
I had no idea what kind of questions I will ask them or what I will say to them. I never thought a day like this will come.
Lyon was about to take off his shirt when I yelled
"Don’t, just don’t do this in my presence, Lyon, Don’t you dare. I never thought you would do something like this to me. I hate you! I hate you, Lyon! I hate you damm it"
Neither did he turn around and look at me nor did he stop what he was doing.
"I hate both of you" I cried out.
"I love you, babe" Victoria said as she continued kissing Lyon
I felt like she only called him babe, so she can piss me off. My eyes were swollen up to the extent I felt pain when tears came out of them, probably because I had cried countless today.
"I wish we never went on a summer vacation, at least, non of this would happen. I also wish the music took my life because I can’t cross this" I whispered to myself
I was about to leave the room when the door slammed as if someone slammed it with force. I tried to open the door but couldn’t.
"Liv! Liv!" a voice said from afar, I instantly recognized the voice. It was Victoria.
"How is that possible, she is right over here" I whispered as I turned around and pointed at the position she was
"Where are they" I thought
She was gone, neither was Lyon in the room nor Vickie.
I soughed when I realized it was just an illusion, Lyon wasn’t cheating on me.
For a moment I actually thought it was real, it looked real, it felt real. I can’t imagine what I would have done to myself if what I saw was real.
"I would have gone crazy," I thought
I was lost in my thought when the music abruptly started playing. It was incredibly loud.
"Help! help!" I screamed as I knocked on the door.
I could still hear Vickie from afar but she wasn’t calling out my name, it was like she was in pain as I heard her scream out loud.
"Vickie! Vickie" I screamed but there was no sound coming from my mouth.
I began to walk closer to the music box, I wasn’t in control of my body, I had no idea why I was doing that.
"Pick it up and press the second button, Olivia. It’s okay, I’m here with you" I heard my uncle's voice whisper in my ear
"No please uncle, I can’t do it"
"Yes you can my child, now pick it up" the voice said in a calm tone
"No I can’t" I cried
"Pick it up!" the voice said in a demonic tone
I did exactly as he said as I began no cry and whisper to myself
"No! No! Please no uncle"
Immediately as I pressed the second button the music took a few seconds before it started playing.
Your days will be over and you have to go…. Everyone will forget you, all you will be is history to your loved ones. Let the pain rain on your skin and the burn shall hurt forever. The music is everlasting… The music is everlasting…
The music is everlasting...
When everyone dies and rests forever in my hand…, let me through the dark and the music will take you to your destination because the music is everlasting…. The music is everlasting… the music is everlasting.
Your days will be over and you have to go…. Everyone will forget you, all you will be is history to your loved ones. The pain shall rain on your skin and the burn shall last forever. You will be nothing but history to your loved ones…
Let me through the dark…
"Ahhhhh! Ahhh!" I screamed
I felt my body burning, it was like acid rained all over my body. I continuously kept shouting and screaming.
"Help! Help!" I moaned
I wasn’t able to do anything as my vision was blurry.
I managed to scream but it sounded like a whisper
"Help me!"
