Struggle

"You need to cover yourself you're already wet," Moses said calmly as Louis scoffed.

"You're been so nice, thank you so much, maybe if I had boiling water poured on my body then you could help me cool it. Right?" Louis asked sarcastically.

"You're turning words around."

"Really? I thought you would be the one to turn my world around and as for your concern, I don't need your support, I'm okay." She stated rudely.

"I'll leave," Moses said calmly walking out but then he couldn't as Louis gripped his arm before he could touch the door.

"Where are you going? I don't have any towel, I don't know where the towel is and do you want me-" she sneezed.

"Oh no, I've gotten a cold," she said in displeasure.

"I'm leaving," Moses said.

"Wait, why are you moving away?"

"Don't you remember saying you don't need my support?" Louis looked at him stunned and agape.

"You, I'm talking about being cold and, do you want me to come down with a cold? How heartless you are, I'm shivering here and you want to leave me here with no idea where the towel is?" She yelled childishly and then she sneezed again.

"Check the wardrobe, under the cloth hanger, there is a handle on the base, open it, and you would see the towels stacked in there," Moses stated calmly surprising Louis with his response, she thought he would let her die with the cold instead of opening his mouth.

Doing as Moses had instructed, she saw a towel, she took a blanket and then she felt warm not recognizing she was shivering moments ago. Louis turned around to thank him but then, he wasn't there.

"Hmm, where did he go to?" She questioned puzzled by his disappearance as she could remember not hearing the door of the room opening.

Moses walked without knowing his direction since he was lost in thoughts about what had happened, the kissing, the argument, the feeling was new to him.

He'd brought her to the house to discover what he wanted but it seems she is the one who was taking control over him and behaving like the boss, he was the boss. Right?

"Moses, would you come to eat?" Hailey asked when she saw Moses coming down the stairs and then Moses realized he was heading to the dining room.

"Oh, I'll be out for forty minutes, I'll be right back."

"Don't tell me you're going back to that place, are you?" Hailey asked with concern but then she looked shocked when Moses gave no reply and then she knew he was going to where she'd thought of.

"No, no, no, you wouldn't go there, not today, you wouldn't stress yourself. Just stay here, you can eat, I don't want you to go," Hailey tried stopping him but he was not listening to her pleading.

"I'm sorry, Nanny Hailey, but I'll have to go," he said and then he walked away.

Hailey bit her nails in fear, what could be the argument that went as far between the both of them and now, he'd decided to visit that place again?

Moving to the stairs in a hurry, she headed to Louis' room and then she knocked waiting for an answer. She waited for what took a long moment, and then, the door opened.

"Hailey, what are you doing here," Louis questioned rubbing the scalp of her hair with the towel.

"Between the both of us, you know that I don't have any concern about-" Louis added but she was cut off by Hailey's curious question.

"Did the both of you get into a fight?"

"What? What are you talking about? Were you not there when he held my arm?"

"Did you peradventure say something that triggered Moses?"

"I do wish I said something that could get him killed instead," Louis blurted, and then the breeze in the room changed to the wind as Louis dropped her towel and reached for her neck, it felt as though someone was strangling her when she looked at Hailey, she stayed in front of the door with furious anger on her face and then, her eyes were white.

"I don't want you to say a word against my son any longer or else you would be the one in trouble," Hailey said with anger as Louis still held her neck trying to remove what was strangling her but then she began to cough heavily.

Raised from the ground, Louis fell to the ground painfully as she groaned in pain, Hailey released her and stopped the wind.

Louis coughed holding her burning neck and then Hailey crouched down to look at her.

"That's just a warning, you should know something important about me, I don't like to see my children suffer and if anyone tries to make any of them cry, then I wouldn't spare that person. Because of you, my child is out there suffering in his past and now, you better pray my child comes back or else, I wouldn't just show you my bad side but my lethal side," Hailey said and then she stood up leaving.

As Hailey left, Louis tried standing with the neck that pain severely, in the realization that not just Moses and his brother but everyone in the house was non-human.

Louis tried standing though she fell to the ground coughing repeatedly as she tried to catch her breath, amid her struggle, a maid came in with a cup of water handing it to her.

"You would need this water, ma'am, Hailey asked I give it to you," the maid said about handing it to Louis but the cup ended up spilling on the ground.

Louis's eyes looked in shock, the pain in her neck was severe, and she couldn't even stand properly, looking at the maid in anger, why did she have to get the cup spilled?

Before the maid could get another, Louis coughed out blood as she clenched her stomach in pain, she lowered her body to attend to her stomach which ached her severely as the maid attended to her calling Hailey.

Hailey immediately came in, seeing how Louis was in pain she saw the bruises of red marks on her neck.

"Please go take another water," Hailey requested as she attended to Louis, trying her best to stop what she'd caused but it didn't get any better.

Louis held her stomach like it was her time to die, the maid immediately came with the water but as she was about to reach for the cup of water, she fell unconscious.

Moses looked at the two images in thought as he stared at what was in front of him in thoughts, rain fell heavily and then he wore his hood, just when he was about to turn to the cliff to jump, he coughed into his elbow taking a look at it, he saw a stain of blood.

He frowned, why was he coughing blood? As he processed what could be the reason, he knew it was urgent and then he ran back in time to where he needed to be, to find out whether his suspicions were wrong.
