CHAPTER FIVE

Audrey's POV

I saw my self in an unknown bush,ahead of me stood something like a cave and a lot of statues

The next thing I saw myself inside the cave,I don't know how it happened because i don't remember walking in.

I saw different statues of men and women,children and old people.

It was a beautiful sight to behold but then glancing at them once again made me notice that all had horrific sights on their faces.

Who ever moulded these statues has no love life,he couldn't even mould couples or a happy family, I thought inwardly as I took fearful and careful steps inside to get a better few and understand why I'm here too only for thick darkness to come between us blocking me from seeing or even getting across to them.

Trying to get to them proved abortive because I was thrown off each time I tried

I woke up panting heavily and sweating profusely. It was a dream,it really was a dream. I felt cold all of a sudden, my window was open with my cotton swaying from left to right,I quickly rushed to close it.

Standing in from of the window,I felt watched. I could feel eyes watching me but I saw no one. I shut the window feeling frightened then I went back to sit on my bed,sleep eluded me. I could only think without results.

I could hear my heart beating loudly and the ticking clock,I guess big sis is fast asleep already. She would have kept me company but its past midnight already,I can't disturb her. Lying down,I closed my eyes waiting for sleep to take over.

WRITER'S POV👑

The next morning Audrey was woken up by the ringing of her phone. Sleepily she picked up without checking who the caller is.

"Who the hell are you to call me by this time,can't you see its still Early' she groaned sleepily..

"My child" she called happily. I just wanted to be the first to wish you happy birthday sweetheart😘

Mom? Audrey exclaimed wide awake now.

Aside from her sister her mum was another understanding best friend she had.

"I've missed you so much mum"

"I've missed you too my baby girl"

Your dad and I will be coming back today,you know we can't afford to miss your birthday. Be a good girl,you know we love you so so much.

"I know mum,I love you too"

Alright darling good prepare for school,I have a flight to catch. See ya

👠MR LAURA'S POV👠

I knew from the start that I will be having difficulty telling Audrey the truth. How am I supposed to revealed these secrets to her after all these years without hurting her feelings?

Will she ever understand? I was so lost in thought that I didn't my husband was standing beside me until he touched my shoulder.

"I guess I shouldn't be asking what's bothering you,I've been thinking about Audrey too" he said with so much concern evident in his voice

"What if she can't handle it? What if she runs away? What if she refuses to accept who she really is?

What if she ends up hating us for lying to her all these while?

What If she... I was cut off by my husband who pulled me into a tight comforting hug.

"Shhh.. You worry too much. Our daughter is a very strong girl.

Lets take it one step at a time okay.

Don't worry,everything is going to be fine"

I nodded trying not to think about it anymore
