CHAPTER 21
Charles Spurlok, entered the coal mine, where he had been hiding for several days. Until his revenge was accomplished, he would stay there; No one in Hope Valle, not even the judge and that mountie, would think anyone was hiding there.
Charles made his bed, he would lie down and rest again, while that little teacher spent these days, with everyone around her, and he would plan some more scares for the pretty girl.
"And how pretty she was," thought Charles Spurlok, laughing. Until recently, he was only angry at her for doing everything with his older brother Júlio Spurlok, but ever since he saw her lying on the school floor, something inside him woke up and now it only got worse. He saw that body well, that slim waist was tempting, and those ankles, he saw very well when she jumped and when she fell, and her skirt lifted up showing her knees. Her legs were shapely, and she seemed to have smooth, fragrant skin.
If Jack Thorton tasted that woman, and now Nathan Grant wanted it too, that was all the more reason for him to also have and taste that woman. Your instincts are screaming for that woman; He realized that his hormones were on the verge of madness just thinking about the teacher. She would be his...
He would kiss her and do everything with her. He would satisfy himself with his body; and if she resisted, it was just a few slaps and she would soon respect him as her male... he would show that woman what a real man was.
Charles laughed, already knowing how and what he was going to do to Elizabeth, his blood was boiling, and he knew what that meant...
-Desire...An animal desire for a female.
"YOU WILL BE, MY LADY, THORTON."
and SO Charles fell asleep and even in his dreams he was already making plans for his next act of evil.
Rose and Alien noticed that Elizabeth wasn't sleeping at all, it would be the second night and throughout that time she never slept. During the day she smiled, but she looked strange. Even asking her about her condition, they always received the same answers, a smile and an okay...
Alien went down the stairs, and went very slowly to the living room, where Lee, Bill and Nathan were sleeping on the sofa and on the floor, after Elizabeth was carried by Nathan to his bed, the three men decided to sleep there, in case they needed them, but actually they had a bit of a bad feeling.
-Dad... are you awake? Alien asked softly.
-We are... She heard the three men talking at the same time, and couldn't hold back her laughter.
-Did something happen, daughter? Nathan pulled her into his arms, while playing with her hair.
-Dad, I think something is wrong...Mrs. Thorton is acting strange.
Bill and Lee quickly got up and then sat down next to her, already asking about the subject...
-I don't know, Uncle Bill, but yesterday she barely slept. Aunt Rose said it was pain and we gave her more medicine and she still didn't sleep. During the day she smiled, but her look was different.
-Different like Alien? Lee was asking.
-Look...She always has a huge smile and a sparkle in her eyes. But today, her gaze was dull and...
-But daughter, now she is sleeping and tomorrow she will wake up better.
-Dad, there's the problem. So far she hasn't slept at all. Aunt Rose is with her in the room. But I noticed that after the accident until now she hasn't slept at all, sometimes she closes her eyes but she isn't sleeping, I see her laughing lightly listening to our conversations. There's something strange, I don't know what it is, but I think you should find out;
-She didn't sleep at all? Are you sure Alien?
-Yes, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Rose are in the room with her, remember?
Nathan looked at Bill and Lee, running his hands through his hair, saying that they needed to call Carson. She would already be over thirty-six without sleeping, something was really wrong...
At that moment, Rose shouted for Alien giving orders to take some things to the room. Alien appeared in the room and ran up the stairs with a basin, jug of water and a towel. Nathan, Lee and Bill went up shortly after. The bedroom door was closed, but they heard Rose talking and giving orders to Alien. The unmistakable noises of Elizabeth vomiting were agonizing, and the men didn't know what to do. Entering a single woman's room would not be correct according to the rules of our society.
-Rose! talk to me? Nathan asked in agony...
She continued to give orders to Alien, inside the room without responding.
-Rose... for God's sake. Can I help you? Nathan was just despair.
Little Jack's cry was heard, Lee ran to the room to take care of his little one. The boy was well used to him, after all he was his guardian and his godfather. That little angel would be well taken care of until her mother was better. His mother... the woman who became a little sister to him. Elizabeth and Jack were the people, who rescued his true self, when he wandered around Hope Valley, ended up meeting them. After years of loneliness due to the loss of his brother to pneumonia, he found himself in life again. Jack was a true brother to him and Elizabeth, becoming a widow at such a young age, could only become his protégé. And now she was there in bed sick.
Nathan said he was coming in, and opened the door without waiting for Rose's response. She was pale, eyes wide, trying to hold Elizabeth who was vomiting on the floor. But that was...
-Blood! Shouted Bill and Nathan at the same time.
Alien had tears rolling down his face. Elizabeth was white as a sheet.
Nathan ran over and caught her. She tried to push him away, but he was serious in his mountie voice.
-I'm going to stay with you, and no one, not even you, is going to take me out of here now.
Her eyes really looked strange, Alien was right.
-Bill, call Carson urgently.
She vomited a lot of blood, her despair was so much that she ended up removing the bandage from her head and it began to bleed again; Nathan sat on his back and placed Elizabeth between his legs, so he could hold her and prevent her from choking on her own vomit.
Both Rose and Alien were all yours. Nathan noticed the smell in the room, he had already seen that smell. That blood was a digestive hemorrhage.
