chapter thirty three

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
Victoria sat on the cold floor, she crossed her legs as she rested her back against the wall.
She kept thinking about Lyon, she just hope he doesn’t do anything stupid while he is alone in the room. She wanted to solace him, talk to him, console him but she couldn’t as she wasn’t able to console herself.
She silently cried, she has never thought of witnessing someone’s death, almost all her friends are dead, she had no idea where their body is or what exactly happened to them, all she knew was the music box is behind everything and Melody might be the one that created the box.
She never thought she would say this but she misses home, she wanted to go back home despite the home she’s talking about has no peace and harmony but it is certainly better than living in an isolated environment where every day is like hell.
"Nora, why, why did the music take you away from me? Why, why….Mick and Liv are gone too, where are you’ll when I need you the most” she cried out
"Mom, I miss you, I wish you were here to console me.” She whispered
After she whispered, she recalled that her mom isn’t the fun, happy woman she used to be, she felt more gloomy when she recalled that,
"I wish dad was here to console me, talk to me" she whispered to herself before she closed her eyes and rested her head on the wall.
The continuous death of her friends reminded her of all her lost loved ones, especially her dad. She shared so many wonderful memories with him but unfortunately for her, that memory-making came to an end so fast.
"I can’t take this anymore I need to stop the music before it leads to another death, dad I wish you were here, I need you by my side" she cried out
Shortly after she spoke, she felt a soft hand on her forehead, she gently opened her eyes and came face to face with her long-lost father
"Dad.” she muttered
"Tori, it’s so good to see you.”
"Dad are you truly here?.” she whispered
"Yes, Tori I’m here. What happened to you Tori, I don’t remember leaving you in a difficult situation. Your eyeballs are swollen and your feet are hurt.” he said in a calm tone
"Dad! I missed you so much, I really miss you dad.” She whispered to herself after she embraced him
“It’s okay Tori, you need to stop crying, I’m here, I won’t let a single drop of tear roll down your chin. It’s okay, I’m here now, nothing will happen to you.” he said
After she released him from the hug, he looked directly into her eyes, and without a blink
"Did you really miss me Tori.” he whispered
Her dad was the only one that address her as Tori and after his death, she didn’t want anyone to call her that as it was like a reminder of her dad’s death.
"Did you really miss me Tori” he whispered again
She nodded in agreement before he wiped her tears,
"You need something to cheer you up, Tori. How about a little bit of music" he said
"No! No!” she yelled
"Come on Tori, I thought you loved music especially when we are signing and dancing to it together," he said in a calm tone
"Nooo" she yelled before she instantly closed her eyes
"You have to listen to it Tori" he yelled
"Go away dad, I don’t need you, just leave me alone as you left me years ago, go away dad.” she yelled as tears dropped down to her chin
She slowly opened her eyes when the room became silent
"I’m sorry dad, I’m really sorry.” She whispered to herself
She was about to stand up and check on Lyon when someone dragged her hand and pulled her towards the edge of the room
"Where do you think you are going Tori, you have to listen to the music. Sing along with them" her dad yelled
"No! No! you’re not real, you can’t be my dad, my dad will never force me to do something. You’re not real" she whispered to herself as she closed her eyes
He stepped on her bandaged leg roughly, and she instantly screamed loudly
"Ahhh! Dad, please stop, you’re hurting me, ahhhh! dad, please stop.” she cried out
"Listen to the rhythm, Tori, you will get a feeling you’ve never experienced," he whispered to her ear
The music abruptly started playing as she kept crying out loud.
"No! No!" she cried out, she didn’t realize when she lost balance and fell to the ground.
"It’s time you come to me Tori, it’s been a long since we made wonderful memories together. You have to come to me" he whispered to her ear
She placed her hands on her ear as she continued crying
"Dad please don’t, the music is diabolical, please don’t dad.” she sobbed
She didn’t realize when the room became silent, neither was her dad there nor the music was playing. As she kept crying, her eyes were closed, her wish was to see her dad, talk to him, and have a moment with him not for him to cause more damage to her life, and she definitely didn’t expect him to force her to listen to the music.
She was lying on the cold floor for almost an hour and a half, she had already drafted to sleep. She had not had sufficient sleep for days now, since the day they arrived in Windland, her sleep wasn’t sufficient as she kept having strange dreams all the time. After the death of Mick, neither was her heart at rest nor her mind at peace.
Shortly after she fell asleep, she slowly opened her eyes, her vision was a bit blurry as she used the back of her hand to rub her eyes, she blinked twice and she was able to see clearly.
"Lyon.” She whispered to herself
She managed to slowly stand up and walk towards Lyon’s room
Lyon had locked himself in the room for hours now, she didn’t hear a word or sound coming from the room.
"Lyon, please open the door," she said as she knocked on the door
"Lyon, open the door, please. Look I know you are hurting right now but trust me when I say you aren’t the only one hurting, I know it’s hard for you to handle your emotions but please you have to stay strong for yourself, and most especially for Liv. Lyon, please open the door" she said but there was no response from him
"Lyon, please open the door. I think I know a way we can survive the music but I need you to be by my side, I can’t do it alone. Please you have to handle yourself, Lyon, please do it for Liv, if she was here, she would be devastated to see you like this, please open the door.”
She kept talking for some minutes when she realized there wasn’t a sound coming from Lyon’s room.
"Did something happen to him?" she thought
"Lyon! Lyon! you don’t have to open the door just say something so I can know you are fine" she screamed as she continuously knock on the door

"Lyon! Please say something, are you okay, Lyon say something please" she screamed
