A/N: Hey everyone, sorry for not updating for a long time, had a rough week, anyways you can play the music above while reading through the chapter and one more thing- Tracy was given a tour of the house the night she came so she knows her way around the house but not too properly... Enjoy reading.
"Wake up Trace...", a soft voice whispered.
I fluttered my eyes open to find Aaron seated at the edge of my bed. I jolted to sitting position before stuttering," W-Why are you here? where-e is Theo?". He chuckled before answering," Theo had some urgent work so he left early in the morning and asked me to wake you up and tell you about your schedule".
"My schedule?".
"Yes Trace your schedule, I'll explain later, first get ready and meet me downstairs for breakfast... then I'll explain everything,".
"Ok...", I sighed before sliding off the bed and heading towards the bathroom. But before I could step away from the bed a hand grasped my wrist. I turned to face Aaron with raised eyebrows. His soft grip on my hand made goosebumps appear on my skin. As I stared into his dark brown orbs getting tranced by them I almost missed hi next words which came out in a very soft whisper," You won't mind me calling you Trace, will you?".
"No...", I whispered back still hyponotised by his beautiful eyes. Why the hell were we whispering, there was no other person present in this damn house.
He broke the stare first by turning towards the door and telling me that he will be down preparing breakfast for us. I stood right there, beside the bed with a stupid smile on my face.
Knock out of it Trace!!
After finishing my daily routine I decided to join Aaron downstairs. Before going out I put the necklace with odd shaped ring around my neck. Yes, I had decided to wear it all the time. I swiftly walked down the stairs and was about to go to the kitchen when I collided with a body and stumbled and fell on it as the body itself fell on the floor. I immediately got off him as he got off the floor.
"Ya- well I was going to go up and call you as breakfast was ready", he said with his head hung down and a pink tinge on his cheeks. I chuckled and said with a wide grin on my face," Yes, so here I am".
I had to admit that Aaron was a really good cook. As I finished the last of the delicious pancakes he had made he spoke up breaking the silence which had lasted throughout breakfast. "So about your schedule... there are somethings that you should know. First a very dangerous man is after you so you need to start training to be able to get out of difficult situations. Second, if you have to go out somewhere then you have to ask either one of us to come with you. Don't overthink, all this is for your safety, do you understand?".
"Yup, so what is first in my schedule?".
"Oh, you have a free day today, you can do anything you want ".
Hearing those words I immediately got up from my seat and ran out into the garden at the back of the house. I stood mesmerised by the scenery. To the left, beautiful and colourful flowers adorned the garden while to the right and to the back, the garden was covered with huge trees and in the middle there was a fountain which added to the beauty of the scene. I walked to one of the trees and settled beneath its cool shade. I pulled out my phone and earbuds, plugged them in my ear and started listening to favourite music.
I was tied to a chair and there were two more people in front of me who were kneeling with their heads hung down. How did I even end up getting tied to a chair? Who were these people in front me? Just then a door to the right of the opposite wall opened revealing a man with a gun in his hand.
"Ok Tracy since you are not going to listen I better finish the task", the man said. What the hell is he talking about?
"Sorry Tracy I ruined your life", the woman who was kneeling lifted her head and spoke. Just then I heard a loud bang and a scream as the woman fell on the floor, blood gushing out from the bullet hole on her head.
"Trace wake up, I need you to open your eyes...", a familiar voice said.
I opened my eyes to find Aaron crouching down over me with a worried look on his face. I brought my hand to my face only to find it wet with tears and I also had a somewhat sore throat.
Suddenly Aaron pulled me to him and held me in a tight embrace and spoke," I was so scared that something happened to you when I heard you screaming... you do not know how worried I was when I found you here with tears streming down your face. I have been trying to wake you up since the last five minutes".
As he let go of me I realised that what I had seen was a dream or rather a nightmare but I felt like I knew the woman in the dream because of her eyes, those chocolate orbs reminded me of my own eyes and the structure of her face resembled mine.She seemed way too familiar.
She was my mother...
