THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
Immediately she saw the body, the box slipped from her hands and fell to the floor. She had already lost balance and was on the ground, she had no idea how to react, as tears rolled down to her chin.
"How is that possible, I saw you, I talked to you some moments ago” she silently sobbed
She was on the floor when she heard a voice from afar
"I got the diary"
She was confused at the moment, Lyon’s body was laid in front of her
"Who is the person that just talked, is it possible it is an illusion but that had never happened before” she thought
She was extremely terrified, she didn’t understand what was happening, how is that possible Lyon’s body is here, and if this is real then who was she talking to a few minutes from now?
She was still on the floor silently sobbing, she had numerous questions and wonders
"Why! Why is this happening, she had just seen him and a few seconds from now she heard his voice” she whimpered
Immediately she heard his voice again, she instantly held the couch next to her and stood up.
She wiped her tears and walked carefully but faster into the living room
She was about to take a sit when she saw him walking toward her
"Did you go somewhere.”
She adjusted her voice before she spoke
"I just wanted some water, my throat is a bit dry”
"Ohh, okay then go get the water"
"Yeah sure”
She faked a smile on her face, her heart was beating fast as she walked towards the dining table, she poured a certain amount of water into the glass, her hands were shaking as she drank a little bit out of it.
“If you’re done, we can start right away,” he said as he moved closer to her
"We…we… need the……music box before we…… do anything" she stammered
"Ooh”
"I will be right back," she said
"Where are you going?”
She swallowed her saliva before she spoke
"As I said, we need the music box before we can do anything, so I will go look for it.”
"That’s not a problem, the music box is on the living room couch, didn’t you notice me holding the box while I was coming.”
"Probably…..not…I don’t think…….I saw anything like…..that on your hands.”
"You looked tensed, are you okay?” he said as he placed his hand on her shoulder
"Yeah…. I’m fine, I just want to end….this… I want it to be…. over" she said immediately after she stepped backward making his hand fall from her shoulder
"Vickie, you are shivering and you’re stammering as well.”
"I’m just a little bit tired but I’m fine.”
"Well okay, since you’re fine we can start this now.”
"Sure.” She whispered
She was extremely aghast, is this her imagination, is this a reality, is Lyon alive or dead, if Lyon is alive then whose body was that and if Lyon is dead then who is standing right in front of her? She sat down at the center of the room, leg crossed, he had already shifted the center table and kept it aside.
"Here you go,” he said as he handed the music box over to her
Her hands were shaking as collected the box, it fell on the rug
"It’s okay Vickie, once we do this everything will be over, there will be no need for you to be scared "
She nodded in agreement before she took the box and kept it in front of her
"What are you gonna do now?.”
"I need to see the diary first "
As she collected the diary, she opened the last page but there wasn’t anything written on it
"What’s wrong, you look worried," he said immediately her facial reaction changed
"There was something written here and now it’s gone.” she whispered audibly
“Are you sure? Check the other pages maybe you are mistaken.”
She flipped the pages and was shocked when she discovered all the pages were empty, nothing was written on them.
"What happened Vickie, you seem to be more worried, are all the pages empty.”
"Yes, they are and I don’t understand, something was written on it some hours ago" she panicked
"Oh my, what are you gonna do now, I mean it’s not like you remember what it says, do you?"
“I don’t know but…”
"But what Vickie, do you remember anything”
"Liv, she had a note that says something like that," she thought
She glanced at him for a moment, she wanted to ask him if he knows where Liv kept the note, but she wasn’t sure if he was Lyon
"Do you remember what the note says,” he asked again
She kept on thinking about whether to ask him or not, it was her chance of recalling what the note says, she has to take her chance.
"Liv, Liv had a similar note but I don’t know where she kept it.”
"She did, where did she find the note?.”
"Don’t you remember, she found the note when we were In the attic.”
"Oh yeah I just remembered, it’s been a long day that’s probably why I forgot"
She wanted to make sure if he was Lyon, they had never entered the attic before talking less of finding the note in the attic. She became more terrified when he responded. That can’t be Lyon, Lyon had already died, the music took him away already. She had been talking to an illusion.
She silently cried, she didn’t want him to notice her tears as she kept trying to avoid eye contact with him.
"So, you don’t know where she kept the note.”
She shook her head in disagreement before she bent her neck and continued sobbing silently
"Do you remember anything from the note" he said
She shook her head in disagreement again, she didn’t want to say anything because if she uttered a word she could burst into tears.
"Think Vickie, there must be something you remember, think“
She took a deep breath before she raised her head
"I don’t remember anything Lyon.”
"Are you sure? You have to think harder.”
"I don’t remember anything Lyon" she whispered again
"You don’t”
"I don’t remember anything Lyon"
"Look into my eyes and tell me that.”
“I don’t remember anything Lyon.” she whispered again
She could sense he was getting angry, she knew he wanted to do something, but anything he could do to her, she won’t tell him a word. She could remember some parts that were written on the paper but she wasn’t sure of them.
She kept repeating the words with her inner voice
"From your birth to your grave, the music follows you all the way. You don’t find the music it founds you. Unfortunate are those who have the power of the dream.”
"The unfortunate" she muttered
"What did you say?”
"Hmm, I think I need to…..calm… down for a little while……maybe I will remember what the note says.” She said in a stutter
"Ohh okay. Where are going?" he asked immediately she stood up
“I need a drink" she whispered before she exited the room
Immediately after she entered the kitchen, she locked the door. She stood behind the door as she began to sob
"Why is this happening, Lyon… why did you leave me here alone, you were the only one that gave me hope of survival, why did the music take you away.” she cried out
She didn’t realize when she fell to the ground. Lyon’s dead body had been flashing in her eyes, she could still see the body, how the face skin was ripped from the body.
This isn’t the kind of life she wanted, even if she survives the diabolical music verses, she can’t leave the rest of her life with the memories of her friend's death.
She continuously kept crying in silence, she had no idea how to deal with the thing or person that is acting and behaving like Lyon.
"From your birth to your grave, the music follows you all the way. You don’t find the music it founds you. Giving attention to the music could lead to death but it’s the only way out. Unfortunate are those who have the power of the dream." she whispered to herself
"I know what it means,” she thought
“From your birth to your grave, the music follows you all the way. You don’t find the music it founds you. Giving attention to the music could lead to death but it’s the only way out. Unfortunate are those who have the power of the dream.” she whispered again
"The unfortunate. I think I know what it means, the unfortunate are those who have the power to dream. That means the music didn’t kill me because it can’t and that’s the same reason why it didn’t kill her, the music only complied her to kill herself because it only has the power to torture her.” She said as she wiped her tears
