****CASSEY****
Tracy: (still lost in thoughts)
I wondered why she hadn’t said a thing, was she still thinking of what to call me? I had to pinch her
Me: come on! Why are you like this
Tracy: (shocked)I am sorry ma’am
Me: Cassey!!!!
Tracy: my bad forgive me miss Cassey.
Me: see it wasn’t hard calling me by my name. Even my younger sister calls me by my name.(remembering Calissa tears fell from my eyes)
Tracy: are you okay? What happened? Did i do something wrong? Was it cos I called you ma’am?
Seeing the different expressions on her face almost made me laugh.i cleaned my eyes.
Me: Tracy you are not the cause just don’t worry yourself.
Tracy: but you are crying and there is nobody here except me and you.
Me: nothing my dear. I just thought of something…
Tracy: care to tell me?
Me: something that has to do with my sister..
Tracy: really?
Me: yes. She is been held captive by my uncle I only happened to escape after being tortured.
Tracy: does that explains the scar on your chest??
Me: yes. I want to save my sister before my elder sister’s fate becomes hers.
Tracy: what happened to your elder sister?
Me: she was tortured. I am sure she might have given up the ghost by now.(I narrated everything to her) so her last wish was for me to protect my younger sister.
Tracy: it must have been hard for you. I truly feel for you. Have you told Mr Reynard?
Me: yes I have and he promised to help me.
Tracy: as far as he promised you that then your sister will be rescued. Just have the faith she is okay.
Me: but how did you know I had a scar on my chest?
Tracy: oh when you were brought in, I was the one who helped you changed after I cleaned your body.
Me: thanks so much
Tracy: it’s my job. Now let’s get you cleaned up…
She helped me up and assisted me to the bathroom my guess was right cos it was the locked door that reviewed this great bathroom. I opened my mouth in awe! It was a sparkling bathroom that had two bathtubs. Even though my dad had money, he never constructed this kind of bathroom in our house. The floor sparkled in the middle of the the tubs. There was a mirror and a medium sized cupboard which had instruments in it so I thought. There was another sliding door which Tracy opened to reveal another bathroom but it was a jacuzzi. It had all the cooling and heating machine on the side. Close to it was a closet and a brushing sink. I looked around and saw towels on a stand. Money really killed this house I thought to myself. I looked around continuously and was jolted by Tracy.
Tracy: hello ooo(waving her hands across my face)
Me: what?
Tracy: we came here to do something now can we get started with it? Would you like to use the bathtub or the jacuzzi?
Me: in the tub of course with cold water.(I said smiling)
Tracy: okay then(she turned on a tap and it let out cold water)
I took off the PJ and entered inside resting my head on the headrest. Tracy poured in liquid soap and ruffled the water with her hand. This made the water produced foams and bubbles. She was smiling at it.
Me: you smile like my younger sister
Tracy: younger sister?(with a scorn face) do you know if I am older than you?
Me: that’s impossible. You are not. Your big body does not involve your face.
Tracy: how old Are you?
Me: I should be asking you that cos I am your senior.
Tracy: I am nineteen and you?
Me: you see,,,,,,I am twenty two. I judge people’s age by their face not their body. So whats up with you.
Tracy: nothing much about me. Just that I ended up here.
Me: there’s got to be a story, family. Just tell me about yourself.
She told me how a bomb was planted in her father’s car and her mother happened to be inside the car when it caught fire and exploded. She received the news from her brother cos she was in 2nd year in the university and how she couldn’t find her brother after she was kidnapped. Reynard’s uncle took her away making her stop her education.
Me: Reynard’s uncle?(Surprised)
Tracy: yes. He gave me to Reynard so I can serve as his mistress but after pleading with him, he changed his mind after two days. I asked to work here because I had nowhere to go cos his uncle had taken my dad’s possession. So he allowed me stay here and work for him. I also get paid and I have saved alot.
Me:so Reynard must be a dangerous guy?
Tracy: well I don’t know. who am I to judge his personality?
Me: so sorry about your family. You are supposed to cry narrating your story but you were just smiling all through.
Tracy: (laughing) miss Cassey. I have cried my whole heart out. I cried for three months not a day passed I won’t cry for my parents and brother. I had to stop since crying was not bringing them anyways. I thought of revenge and I felt peace. Anytime I think of my family and I feel like crying I remind myself of revenge And I smile. So don’t be deceived about my story cos I wasn’t thinking about my family. My mouth was doing the narration while my mind was envisioning Reynard’s uncle’s death. All what my family needs now is revenge.
Me: are you that determined. I mean that’s cruel of you.
Tracy:(smiling) in this world people are responsible for the actions of others. Now don’t tell me you don’t also want to revenge.
Me: (laughing) on this revenge mission, I will be the ringleader.
Both of us burst into laughter.
Tracy passed me one of the towels and I tied myself with it. From my chest down to my thighs. I look nice now. At least the weavon on my head smell better now.. I wrapped my head with a small towel around to dry my weavon and walked into the bedroom following Tracy behind.
Tracy: whoa! whoa! Look what we have here… Miss hot legs.. (I smiled to her joke)
Me: thank you very much Tracy.
Tracy: like I said it’s my job. I will be right back I need to fetch another PJ for you.
She left and I walked to the glass window to see beyond it. I saw buildings and houses and gardens. Someone walked in and I turned thinking it was Tracy but it was Reynard. He was looking at me surprised. Three minutes passed and still not a word from him. I was starting to feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Tracy came in and saved me..
Tracy:(waving her hands across his face) Mr Myles, uhhm are you okay? Do you need anything?
Reynard: no,no,no,no,no not at all just wanted to inform Cassey that dinner is set already.
Me: okay. I will be there right away. (Smiling at him)
Reynard: is that the PJ I gave you?
Tracy: yes sir.
Reynard: then I will leave you both. Tracy show her the dinning when she is done. Looks like she can walk now
Me: I am getting better Reynard, I just hope you will keep your promise tomorrow.
Reynard: no problem I have it sorted out already.(he left)
Tracy: hmmm I smell something(giving the PJ to me)
Me: and what’s that(collecting the PJ)
Tracy: don’t tell me you didn’t notice feelings in this arena just now?
Me: nope
Tracy: hmmm don’t even try its obvious from the both of you. Look at the way he was looking at you and the way you were smiling at him.
Me: please leave me alone.
Tracy only laughed and waited for me to finish dressing and we went out of the room. As we came out of the room a boy was coming towards our direction with his hands in his pockets. Guess he was heading to the dinning as well. He was smiling at me. And I didn’t know why he was doing that.
Boy: hi, seems you are awake now.. I have been asking my brother to let me come see you but he has been shutting me out.
Me: I am great and what do you mean by your brother?
Boy: oh I am Derek Myles, Reynard’s younger brother. Both of us saw you in the forest.(stretching his hand)
Me: I am Cassey.( I stretched mine too and we shook hands)
Derek: nice meeting you Cassey.
Me: and same to you(then he left)
Tracy: that’s the Myles family for you.(she said as she led the way to the dinning)
The corridor was so long. The floor and walls were always shining I wonder if it’s magic. The chandeliers were shinning. Going down the stairs was another task. It had two curves. The first and second curve and the third and fourth curve.
We finally got to an amazing sitting room. It was a massive mansion. The huge flat screen TV and all in the sitting room were WOW!
The colours were peach and black another area in the sitting room was white and yellow. The dinning was brown and purple.
I was still admiring the sofas, the designs, the doors, the paintings and all the decorations when I heard my name.
Me: what?(talking to no one in particular since I didn’t know who called me)
Reynard: come and eat you can stare later.(chuckling)
Me: I wasn’t staring I was just surprised and wondering how a young guy like you managed to afford all these things.(walking to the dinning. I sat down) or maybe you inherited it from your parents.
Derek: there is no parents in our dictionary.
Me:(surprised) did you both fall from heaven?
Derek: no but we lost them at tender ages. So we are in this world all by ourselves..
Me: so no family at all(scooping a spoonful of jollof rice)
Derek: we have but we don’t consider our uncle as a parent cos he doesn’t act as one.
Reynard: hello ooo. Looks like I was forgotten. Please let’s change the topic. Cassey, are you ready for Tomorrow.
Derek: what is happening Tomorrow?
Reynard: we are breaking her sister out of crystal safe.
Derek: whoa whoa crystal safe? That deadliest warehouse?
Me: you know the place?
Derek: yes it is close to our uncle’s warehouse.(he mistakenly looked at Reynard who gave him a warning look and he understood immediately) I am full already I need to hit the bed.
Reynard: get ready Derek you are coming with us.
Derek: (shouting from the stairs) count me out. I am not ready to die young for a strange girl who let herself get kidnapped.
Reynard: ITS FINAL!!(shouting as well)
Me: you knew about crystal safe?
Reynard: yeah my uncle usually warns us not to go near that warehouse cos it was known for destruction.
Me: but you are risking your life to help me out?
Reynard: (smiling) it’s nothing at all
I felt happy inwardly and I drank the water in front of me. It tastes somehow but I drank it all. I felt sleepy at once. My eyes were drowny and dizzy. My vision became blurry. I managed to stand up. I walked few steps from the dinning table and fell down then blanked out.
