Chapter 18
Three months later, summer holidays started, I buried my older brother and my closest cousin, I got over it and my relationship with Patch has grown closer.
"Nora, you've been summoned to the main house" Rolf said from my front door.
"fine, let me just call Patch and tell him to collect me at eight instead of seven" I replied, turning to use my phone.
"no time, come on" Rolf said , grabbing my arm and dragging me out of the house, closing the door behind him and forcing me into his car.
"what's this about?" I asked after sitting in silence for ten minutes.
Rolf didn't answer, he just kept driving until we pulled up at the family estate. Upon arriving two men in suits opened my door and grabbed my arms and dragged me up to the main room.
"Dad! what is this all about?" I shrieked struggling against the two men holding me.
"protection and reawakening" Harrison said, walking up behind us.
"what the hell does that mean!" I screech as one of the men pull my phone from my pocket. They gave the phone to Harrison and he dialled one of my contacts, then turned it on loud speaker and turned the intercoms towards me. He'd dialled Patch.
"break up with him" Harrison ordered as the ringing stopped and Patch's voice came through the speakers.
"Nora? I was on my way to pick you up, what's wrong?" Patch said, the sound of his car engine in the background.
"Patch, hang up now!" I yelled, staring my father directly into his eye's.
"why?" Patch asked as Harrison barked "tell him now you foolish girl!"
"Patch whatever happens don't think any of my calls or messages are serious, it's not, just go to Bo's and I'll meet you there when I escape this hell hole!" I screamed as I fought with all my strength against the men, summoning up my powers which helped me defeat Chauncey months ago.
Suddenly, from in the shadows Rolf came up behind me while I was struggling and injected a sleeping drug into me. All that time that I was awake and could still hear before going fully unconscious; I could hear Patch screaming my name through the phone the whole time.
A dim light hanging from the ceiling, whiteish/ greyish walls. My body unable to move properly, I was restricted because of straps on my ankles, wrists, stomach and upper part of my neck.
"where am I?" I said just above a whisper.
"your in solitary confinement" Harrison said walking into my line of vision.
"why?" I asked tears of fear, sadness and anger burning my eyes.
"so you can become the daughter I've always wanted you to be" he said and walked off.
Days which seemed like years passed, they give me food through a hatch to a room with a bed, a bookshelf full of books and a fully stocked bathroom; injected drugs into me and only let me move about the one room and the one bathroom when they have no need for me until the next time they decide to pin me to a table.
"LET ME OUT!" I screamed at the top of my lungs after being pinned down to the table for what seemed like the hundredth time.
"our treatment isn't working Harrison, our best bet is 'that' treatment" I heard Rolf say, he and a few others weren't far away from me.
"ok, but she better not end up as Jacob, I'm counting on you Rolf" Harrison replied and walked over to me. Staring me straight in the eyes he said to me, "if this goes wrong, I'm so sorry, little angel."
His eyes seemed to grow gentle like they were before my mum died.
"then why do this?" I cried, tears pouring out from years of pressing them back.
"because I can't ... " he started but I faded away, Rolf was injection some sort of liquid into me, it made me unconscious.
A shimmering light surrounded me, I looked down at myself and my body was see through. like a ghost.
"what the hell? where the hell?" I said, my voice echoing throughout the shimmering light.
"your sub-consciousness, also know as your mind" came my voice from a figure forming a few feet away from me. By now the lights have faded and its just dimly lit.
the figure appeared to be a version of me, the main differences were that her eyes were crimson, her hair has more volume to it so its like a wavy brown cloak shimmering down her back and she seems more attractive than when I normally look into a mirror.
"why do I look like that? who are you?" I asked looking at every detail of the other Nora Grey.
"I'm you" she smirked, showing a little of her pearly white teeth.
"no, your not."
"yes I am, I'm Lilith, the dark side of you, Nora Grey and through this little procedure your father is getting done on you, there will be a wall in your head and I'll be the one controlling the body, don't worry, I'll be nice" she explained, the smirk turning into a smile.
"no! no! NO!" I screamed as my ghost of a body got pulled back and hit something, like a wall but nothing was there and then a wall sealed off all light in this part of my mind.
