I took advantage of that she was at my house to take her out in the afternoon. Take a little walk to ease my mind and hers too. But before, I took her to the mall for a walk.
I even decided to give her a present. A necklace with a snowflake pendant. She was so touched that she even cried.
The atmosphere was very pleasant among us, but I ended up asking the worst question I could ask at that moment.
– Diana\, why did you run away when your parents were killed? Why didn’t you come to us? We could have taken care of you.
– I was very horrified by the fact that I saw my father being killed in front of me. I did not know how far that stranger would follow me to end his service. So I decided that it was best to run away. If I had gone looking for you\, maybe put you at risk too. And then yes\, I would be completely alone in the world. – she replied and immediately turned her face to look at him outside the car window.
When she did, she realized she was crying and decided to apologize as soon as possible.
– I’m sorry. I didn’t want you to cry. I promise I won’t talk about it anymore. – I said but she didn’t answer me.
When we arrived, my father was in the living room in the dark looking at Victoria’s photos. I was very worried about that situation and didn’t know what to do. I left him in his place and Diana and I went up and went to his room each to take a shower and then we went down to dinner.
My father had already hired a maid to take care of each one, her name was Rose.
We had dinner and went to sleep that night.
The next day, I decided to take her to the Paradise group amusement park to celebrate her birthday. Everything was fine, until we went to the Elevator, one of the park’s radical toys. She passed out right after getting off the toy and I I hurriedly took my arms to the infirmary.
After she woke up, I felt such a relief that it is impossible to describe. We had a snack and went back to playing. Whenever we saw a height-related toy, I would go in front of her field of vision so she couldn’t see. I didn’t want her to pass out yet again.
At dusk, I took her to ride the Ferris Wheel.
– Come\, it’s time for you to see the Ferris Wheel. – I said taking her hand and dragging her across the park.
We waited a short time in the queue until our turn came.
– Come\, we will go up already – he told me leading me into one of the cabins. – I said looking at her.
When we reached the top, she was completely amazed by the view of the city at night. And in that moment, I felt the need to hug her and never let go. I walked towards her, wrapped my arms around her and I said in her ear:
– Diana\, I promise I won’t let anyone do you any harm. I promise I’ll do everything in my power to make you happy. Give me a little more time and I promise I’ll tell you three secrets I have in a while .
Because of those words, she cried and thanked me. I turned her over so I could dry the tears that were streaming down her face and then she did something I didn’t expect: she hugged me and buried her face in my chest and we stayed in that position until it’s time to get off the Giant Wheel.
And with that, we ended the ride to celebrate her birthday. We went to the parking lot, got in the car and hit the road to go home.
She ended up falling asleep in the passenger seat next to me and seemed to dream about something.
– I will have my revenge. I will kill you all. – she said while sleeping.
Then I had a question. “Is she the damn Cold Witch?” “If it is her, what am I going to do?” It was my doubts at that moment. I didn’t know what to do or how to act.
When we got home, I called her gently to wake her up without being scared. I put a smile on my face, but I couldn’t keep it up for long.
– Diana\, can I ask you a question and you answer me in all your sincerity? – I asked without being able to look her in the eyes.
– Of course yes. – she replied while looking at me. I felt her confused look watching me.
– What were you dreaming about? – I asked without looking at her again.
– Nothing.Why? – she asked me.
– I heard you talking while sleeping on death and revenge\, so I was curious. – I said it and was already starting to get nervous about that subject.
– Ah. That happened a lot when I was a child. My mother told me that I talked while sleeping. But I never remembered what I was dreaming about. – she answered me and I saw sincerity in her every word.
From that moment on, I already felt sorry. I could hurt her by asking these questions. But I had to go to the end since I had started.
– Can I ask you just one more question? – I asked her.
– Sure\, go ahead. – she allowed me calmly.
– Diana\, do you have any involvement in the deaths of Edward and Victoria? – I asked her staring into her eyes. I wanted to be absolutely sure that I was totally wrong with that unfounded doubt.
– No. It doesn’t make any sense to be involved in their death. Why would I do that to them? – she replied and soon after I saw the tears come out of her eyes.
– I don’t even know what to say. Please forgive me for this stupidity. – I apologized while trying to hug her.
But she didn’t leave and ran out of the car to get into the house as soon as possible. I ran after her to try to explain myself. However, I had no way of explaining myself. I didn’t know why that doubt had sprung up in my mind and neither because I took it further. I went to my room to take a shower and after that, I went down the stairs, left the house and went for a drive around town to think of some way to apologize to Diana. I had acted in the worst possible way with her.
I returned home a short time later and decided to stay downstairs for a while. I had lost sleep because of the mess I had made. I sat on one of the chairs next to the kitchen counter.
Shortly after, Diana went downstairs and went to the kitchen. So I took the time to apologize in the right way to her. She was a little resilient about it, but she ended up forgiving me in the end. She had a kind heart and I loved it. in it.
Finally things were going very well. But the next day I got up very early and went to see if my father had already woken up. And I found him in the last way I could imagine. Disagree and with several packages of medicines around him, a glass container in his left hand that had written “acid” and a piece of paper next to his body.
I was paralyzed for a long time and when I regained consciousness I screamed for Rose and she soon came to meet me.
– Call the family doctor now. Tell me that my father took several medicines. – I said.
– Yes sir. – she answered me already with the phone in her hands.
In less than ten minutes, the doctor arrived and asked me to leave to do the service in peace.
I went downstairs and went to the living room. I didn’t know if I could have stayed there any longer if Diana hadn’t arrived and hugged me from behind.
– Good Morning ! – she said cheerfully.
– Sorry Diana\, I’m not in the mood right now. – I said ending up sounding very ignorant.
– What happened ? – she asked me kneeling in front of me and with a somewhat sad face.
– Oh. I’m sorry. I didn’t want to treat you like that. – I said while hugging her to apologize. – It was my father. He did something crazy.
– What did he do ? – she asked.
– He tried to commit suicide. – I answered.
– WHAT ? – she asked me with wide eyes.
I saw that she was shocked by the news and that she was a little dizzy so I sat her on the couch and went to get her a glass of water. When I came back, I explained everything and showed the letter to her. She was very worried with all that and as soon as the doctor came to meet us to inform me of my father’s condition, she asked him if we could see him.
We went up as quickly as possible and went to my dad’s room. Standing there holding his hand, seeing him in that state was too much for me. If he went, it would just be me and I didn’t want that.
– Please stay here with him\, I’ll be right back. – I told her as I got up to leave the room.
That room was in a sad hospital climate and I couldn’t hold back my tears. I fell into despair just thinking about losing my father. He had all the faults in the world, but he was still my father and I loved him. Suddenly I felt something around my waist. It was warm and comforting, it smelled of roses in the air when I realized that it was Diana who had come to comfort me. I dried my tears and buried my face in her shoulder.
– Can I stay for a while like this? – I asked her.
– Take your time. – she replied softly while affectionately stroking my head.
That moment was very important for me. The closer I got to her, the more I loved her. And I wanted to make her happy.
That same day, Diana decided to take a walk around the city without telling me, and when she returned home it was already night. leaving you blind to other things.
Shortly after the doctor put the bone in her hand, we went to dinner and then she went to her room and I went to spend the night with my father. I spent two weeks without seeing her while taking care of my father and it made me very bad. So I went to call her in her room for the doctor to see her hand. But as soon as I raised my hand to knock on the door, she opened it and gave me a very tight hug.
– I missed you so much. – she said hugging.
– Me too. Come on\, the doctor will take a look at your hand. – I replied wrapping my hand around her waist.
As always, her temperature was warm and made me feel very cozy. I never felt like letting go after a hug.
After the doctor had examined her hand and saw that she no longer had to be in a cast, I did not leave her alone at all from that day on and only separated from her to go to sleep.
On the day of the anniversary of her parents’ death, she woke up very sad and decided to go and visit them. I didn’t want her to go out alone because of the danger that surrounded my family. I wanted to follow her, but doing that, I would not be giving the necessary space that she needed at that moment. So I occupied my mind with the care for my father and when I realized that she had not yet returned it was already night. So I went up the stairs to get my car key from my room and as soon as I turned down the hall, she was coming towards me. but I was also relieved to see you in front of me, but I did not know how to manage my anger.
– How can you worry me like that Diana? I was just going to get the car key to go after you. When did you arrive? – I asked as soon as I got as close to her as possible.
– I’m sorry. I arrived a little sad because of the cemetery air and when I saw that no one had noticed my arrival\, I took it as an opportunity to come and rest without being disturbed. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. – she told me and I felt her voice turn into almost an apologetic cry.
I had been stupid again. She had gone to visit her dead parents and I was there, being insensitive. So I hugged her very tight and said.
– Now I’m the one who apologizes. I completely forgot what you were doing. You have every right to take as long as you want. Forgive me for being so insensitive with your pain.
– Everything will be fine as long as you continue to hold me tight like that. – she answered me and I laughed.
– What do you think about having a walk early tomorrow morning? – I asked to break the silence between us.
– I think it’s a good idea. Where are we going this time? – she asked me trying to put a smile on her face.
– To the beach. – I said trying not to make her uncomfortable because of her forced smile.
– It will be wonderful ! I haven’t been to the beach in years. – she replied when I managed to get her excited.
– Agreed then? – I asked.
– For sure. What time will we leave? – she said.
– What do you think about 6:30 am? – I asked her.
– It’s fine by me. – she replied with a charming smile.
After that I took her out to dinner that night and then we went back to rest and travel in the morning.
But I couldn’t sleep and went to my dad’s room. I informed the doctor that we were going to travel the next day and asked him to take care of my dad while I was away.
It was dawn when my father woke up with thirst and I served him a glass of water that was next to his bed. Suddenly, we saw something forming on the walls. It was blue and they were pointed. It was ice.
– What is it ? – my father asked\, startled.
– Dad\, don’t move. – I said when I realized that I had one of the ice spikes near his neck. One movement and he would be pierced in the throat.
The doctor was closer to the door and went down the stairs to go after Rose. A few minutes later, he came back with her holding bowls of hot water that they threw on the ice and he broke up almost immediately only in the most important places so that we could get in. I managed to get my father to bed without getting hurt and the doctor gave him a tranquilizer and he fell asleep right away.
The first thing I did was to see how Diana was doing. And I was happy to see her well, but I was also a little nervous to see her in pajamas. I confess that she is very attractive and that I was doing everything to not do anything stupid. When she entered the room and came back covered with the sheet, I looked for something that could lose my head and I was relieved again. But I was a little upset when she asked to see everything that the Frozen Witch had done. I felt a cold that I hadn’t felt before when we both stopped at my dad’s bedroom door and I couldn’t help but see the enthusiasm on her face. At that moment, that doubt came to my mind again, but I couldn’t do that again, I could hurt her again and that was all I didn’t want.
She was worried about my dad and didn’t want to leave him alone. But I managed to convince her to go to the beach anyway the next day. I decided that we would go out a little later than agreed so that we could rest as necessary.
When I woke up the other day and went to organize everything for the trip. When I was putting my suitcase in my car, someone with white hair entered the lot of my house. Only later I realized it was Diana.
– How am I ? – She asked me taking a walk while I was with my mouth open.
– That was quite a change. You look wonderful. – I said smiling.
– Thanks. – she thanked me smiling back.
She got in and didn’t let her help her with her suitcase, but she didn’t take long. As soon as she got off, we said goodbye to my dad and the doctor, we got out, we got in the car so we could go on.
– Ready to go? – I asked as soon as I got in the car.
– More than ready. – she answered me cheerfully.
