Deranged Writer's Afterword

" I'm sorry Claire....I wish I had better news but the boy is the same as his father....it's genetic so I did suspect that...", the doctor regretfully informed Dina about the boy's condition.

The further Dina listened the more agitated she got....

Suddenly, out of nowhere the view before her changed, she wasn't in the doctor's office anymore, she was now in a studio apartment which seemed to be 'Claire's home'..

She was currently playing with [John], Dina finally understood why 'Claire' had stolen the toys, it was to gift the child....her child.

John sat on her lap playing with a toy airplane, he pushed the airplane against air currents and piloted it all from outside, but the boy stopped playing when he noticed the tears flowing down his mother's face.

" What's wrong...mommy ?", the boy asked unaware of his mother's inner turmoil.

" I'm sorry....", she managed to sob out confusing the boy even more.

Dina embraced the boy tightly and kept on whispering,

" I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry.....I'm sorry----------"

~~~~

Dina's view is once again changed.

This time though...she felt a piercing pain.

" Push...Claire.. you can do it !"

Dina ignores the pain and observes the man encouraging her from the side.

The man held her hand tightly to show his support, she felt a certain fondness for the man....even though at the same time a slow dread settled over her heart.

' Tom ?', Dina thought....

'Who is Tom ?', was the next thought that came to her mind.

Due to the confusion, Dina forgets to notice that the pain had subsided, she stared at 'Tom' until the sound of a baby crying could be heard.

" Have you decided a name for him ?", a nurse asked while handing the baby to Dina

The baby remained in Dina's hands which were steady, but her mind was in utter chaos.

"John....we picked it before he was born...", Tom said cheerfully.

Seeing that nobody else reacting strangely, Dina figured that she was the only one who could see this.....

The lower body was that of a baby...but the region above the neck was that of an adult or more closer to a teenager....one that Dina was quite familiar with.

The 'baby' looked at Dina with a cold glare and said in a deep voice,

" Mother.....I despise you."

Dina's view changed yet again...

Adam's POV

_________________

I walk until the end of the tunnel.

I haven't even seen a single 'monster' so that Dina cleared the tunnel so that she could 'talk' to me. I'll at least give her an A+ for effort...but I'm still going to kill her.

It's strange...I actually wanted her to become my ally but once she showed me that picture.....my mind changed out of nowhere....I'll stop thinking now...thinking for too long isn't good for my mental health.

I finally got out of the tunnel.

It takes me a minute to adjust to the light outside.

" Adam !!"

Once my eyes adjust to the light, I see my entire class in front of me, of course they were busy talking to their respective friends to even notice me, but my friends do notice me and comes forward to greet me.

" Was it hard ?", Lecia asked curious...since her test was significantly more easier than the rest as she had just enrolled.

" Meh.", I reply back to her.

We talk for some time and wait for the test to conclude.

~~~~

The test took some time too end, probably because of the fact that Dina had fainted or should I call her Domino....it's all too confusing.

After about an hour of waiting, Liam Wood comes out of the tunnel and gathers us all around,

" Well, I'm sorry for the delay students....but congratulations on passing your midterms....well some of you failed, but still good effort. It's time to go back now so if you would all just follow me now..."

Poor Liam....he looks shaken up.

Dina must be pretty banged up.....why did she faint anyway with all the melodramatics as well.

Was it 'Arghhhhhh' or "Argughhhhhh'.....who cares....it's not like she's my mother or anything....

I shake my head as start walking behind Katherine, all of us proceeded to enter the bus and the journey back to school began yet again.

~~~~

Once we reached the school, we were given the choice to pack our bags and go home or stay at the dorms tomorrow, as school would be closed for a week after midterms. It was to help reduce all the stress the students had gone through the exam, by the time we came back the results would be back.

I'll think I'll do pretty well....

We sleep even though dawn was just a few hours away.

I got up early and started packing,

" Why haven't you started to pack ?", I asked Eric who was simply lazing around on his bed reading some book.

" I'm not coming...", Eric says, his head buried in his book.

I stop my packing and stare at him, a sigh involuntarily comes out of my mouth as I feel some kind whole 'episode' coming along...

" Why not ?", I ask Eric ,sitting down on my bed.

Eric doesn't look at me and says nothing for awhile, just as I was about to beat it out of him, he opens his mouth,

" I don't want to be a burden...."

" You're not a burden, Eric.", I say snatching the book away from him.

" Hey !!", Eric yelled in protest, but I ignore him and continue on,

" Also...if you don't come...Lecia will think that I made you stay here and I can't have that.....can I ?"

Eric frowns hearing my reasoning

...

" Just to be clear...that's the only reason why I'm doing this....it's not because I want you there or anything...." I turn around but not before I see the smirk on his face.

....

Damn it....

I should have stopped at the 'Lecia will scold me' part.

~~~~

An hour later, the both of us were packed, I waited at the usual spot where our car used to come in and as expected the car came on time...I have increase Mr.Victor's salary soon.

Mr. Victor was my driver, he was almost fifty, he was a good man that knew to keep his mouth shut...he knew not to bite the hand that fed him.

" It's good to see you, sir.", Victor says opening the door for the both of us.

We get in and then leave the next minute after making sure that my luggage was all packed.

" Can't we just use a gate or something ?", Eric asked rolling his eyes.

I pop the window down and say,

" I like to feel the wind on my face."

Just like that we were off.

In thirty minutes we reached the Creed mansion, the both of us get inside the mansion and freshen up up quickly. As we had nothing to do, the both of us decide to watch a movie and chill.

We picked a horror movie, since I wanted to show off all that preparation that I did to someone. Agnes brings us some cool refreshments,

" Why don't you sit with us, Agnes ?"

Agnes looks a little intimidated by my proposal and nods her head.

" Why don't you call Francis and Amanda.....Ahh...I forgot to call Lecia as well, so call her as well."

Hearing me, Agnes seemed confused,

" Didn't Miss Lecia come with you ?", she asked

" Why would she come with u-", I stop speaking as realization strikes.

Eric and I look at each other, we simultaneously say,

" Shit."

~~~~

Lecia looked at the night sky gloomily.

'Where are they ?', she thought.

Her back hurt from sitting on the rough road...she'd been waiting for a few hours now, at the spot Adam had mentioned.

But she still didn't see anyone.

'Is this not the right place ?", Lecia thought confused.

She did try calling Adam, but he wasn't picking up.

" Lecia ?"

Lecia turns around to find Katherine along with a buttload of her luggage which was being pulled by two people that looked like bodyguards.

" Why're you still here ?", Katherine asked Lecia after exchanging greetings.

" Well...I'm pretty sure that they forgot to pick me up...", Lecia said sighing.

" Wow...Adam's a dick isn't he ?", Katherine said chuckling .

" Careful there....that's my brother you're talking about.....but you're right though."

Katherine and Lecia have a good laugh and talk some more,

" Well, I should probably head back then...", Lecia said taking her luggage in her hands.

Seeing Lecia going back to her room, Katherine got a sudden idea, she called out to her,

" Lecia !"

Lecia turned around confused,

" Why don't you come with me ?", Katherine asked her eyes shining.

" I don't know...Katherine.."

" I'll call Emilia and we can have a girls night....please...", Katherine says pleading Lecia desperately.

Katherine was in a word...a loner, since she didn't have that many friends before coming to Unity she wanted to make the friendships here amount to something.

" Well...okay then.", Lecia agreed hesitantly.

Katherine was excited but she decided to play it cool....she didn't want to creep her friends out.

" Call Emilia....her room number is 89.", Katherine said to one of the bodyguards.

As the bodyguard left to get Emilia, Lecia's phone rang but before she could pick it up, Katherine snatched the phone out of her hands.

" It's Adam.", she said glancing at the caller id.

She answers the call and said,

" I'm sorry Adam...but I'm kidnapping your sister."

[ Huh ?....Katherine ?-----]

Katherine ignored all of Adam's questions.

Katherine had been planning for this since a long time ago, it all led to this...

" It's girl's night....or day since it's technically morning now.", Katherine cuts the call and returned the phone to Lecia.

Lecia got goosebumps seeing the devious smile on Katherine's face.

It strangely reminded her of Adam....
