A/N: Yes! It's finally the school holidays and I am writing again! Sorry about the long wait…thanks to Slim Shady for continually believing in this story and reviewing! Oh, and yes, Abspell 2: Secrets and Suspicions, is UP! Yay!
(Now, all I need to learn to do is touch-type…I can sort of do it so far, but when I know how, I'll be able to put up a new chapter every day! Or, I at least hope to! But then I have to think of the story again first and what will happen and…oh god, being a writer is hard sometimes!)
Chapter 10: Horrific Nights and Unexpected Mornings
While Selina Sinistra started to get into a state of complete worry, she did not know the shocking state her fiancée was in.
The night was slowly falling, and it was around 7pm.
She feared Karl would come back now.
Or take the one thing that kept her happy away from her forever.
(Um…was that Sev, or was it Saskia?)
That night, she had a premonition. Which was quite unlike her.
It was actually a horrific experience that could leave her scarred for life.
(I've finally found out how to put page breaks in! Yay! For a while I thought "How on earth do people do that?")
Meanwhile, in the room with the faulty ceiling…
The room was silent, and had been for the past two hours.
Neither Minerva or Severus had spoken a single word, and neither was about to. They had been trapped here this entire day, nearly. Ever since breakfast.
They both had themselves to blame, really.
Although they seemed to moreso blame each other…
How dare he use his Legilmency! I thought I trusted you, Severus! It wasn't my fault I overheard. Now, you and I are stuck in here! And we are going to die!
You eavesdropper, Minerva – did you just happen to walk in on Selina and I by coincidence that day at the start of the year? Heard us talking about our wedding, every detail, loud and clear!
There's a reason that secrets are meant to be kept. For Merlin's sake, they're not meant to be found out! But, UNFORTUNATELY, some people can't help themselves!
Maybe there are just some people in the world that are there to ruin people's lives. You are one of them…
Minerva had just noticed that Severus had fallen asleep. Not that she would have bothered to turn around anyway, but she seemed to notice the smallest things.
She got up, and paced around slowly, trying to clear her mind, when…
The ceiling moved again…
This time, she collapsed in fear…and the ceiling was now only just a few metres above their heads…
Sinistra went into her bedroom, trying not to think about what she had just seen.
Her daughter, dead, strangled to death…by her ex, Karl.
And to think he had custody of her?
That sick, twisted man! I have to get her back!
But can premonitions become reality?
Why would I even have one anyway?
Unless I was starting to become like Sybill Trelawney…OH GOD. NO THANK YOU!
There was suddenly a knock on the door.
Sinistra remained frozen in absolute fear.
The handle began to turn with a squeak, and there was a shadow in the doorway…
"Hello, Selina." a male voice laughed. "Nice to finally see you after all these years."
Selina could recognise the voice from the moment she heard it.
Karl!
Karl was here, he had returned, after all these years.
Sinistra did not know what to say. Except for…
"Why did you come back?" Selina whispered.
"Because of you, of course." Karl replied, coming closer, farther into the room. "Tell me, who is this man in your life, and what are your plans with him? I heard you're getting married!" he yelled, pushing her to the ground. "Where is he? I'm going to murder him when I get my hands on him! Geezus, Selina! Think of poor Saskia when she finds out she's going to have a STEP-FATHER!"
"No, Karl, I am not going to let you do this, and you are not going to ruin my life! Or Saskia's!" Selina exclaimed.
Karl bent down, and gave Selina a kiss on the lips.
"This guy is going to PAY! Big time, Selina! And you will too." Karl snapped, getting up and leaving Selina, petrified and crying, in the centre of the room.
The next morning…
Severus woke up, with quite an unexpected shock.
Unbeknown to him, when Minerva had collapsed the previous night, she landed right beside him.
But now, his arm was wrapped around her, and she was still sound asleep.
He didn't know what to think.
Actually, he found it quite comfortable…in fact…
To be continued…
Until I update… (and I apologise again if it was incredibly soppy, but hey, that's what I'm best at…)
