Chapter 36

  Wayne and Sophie-Ann:

  Wayne:

  I feel like my old self again now that the darkness is completely gone and I'm not being controlled by those wicked creatures anymore. I'm glad Jack recognized me and very thankful for Dianna and the Masters for healing me. I know it will take time to heal from the pain we endured. That is why I suggested in house therapy for Soph and myself. We need to learn to accept what has happened and also deal with all the emotions we have from our ordeal. Doctor Rachael and Doctor Thomas are wonderful people and doctors. Soph and I are staying in a room together. It is like a small apartment. It has a kitchen, living area, 1 bathroom and 1 bedroom. The doctors give us homework and we have to keep diaries now on what we talk about and how we feel every day. It is helping us heal, plus we have 3 hour sessions with the doctors. The first hour is a private session with Doctor Rachael, the second hour is private sessions with Doctor Thomas. The third hour we are together with both Doctors. We are allowed to have visitors since we are not a danger to anyone or ourselves anymore. Louis and Ann come by every day to check on us and do some grocery shopping for us, if we need it. It is nice to have such loving family members surrounding us. Dianna and Jackson come to see us but they have to have a disguise spell cast on them, just in case the person or persons watching us and them are snooping around here. Doctors Rachael and Thomas gave us fake names and IDs so hopefully no one recognizes us. Soph has dyed her hair dark brown and wears brown colored contacts. I dyed my hair blonde and wear blue contacts now. We look like our fake ID pictures. My new name is John and Soph's new name is Doris. The doctors say we can possibly go home in a couple of weeks, but we don't have a home to go to anymore. Lyican’s witch made sure of that when she burned it down. Maybe Jack will know of a place we can go.

  Sophie-Ann:

  Thank God for Wayne's family. I'm not 100 percent and may never be but at least my son is alive now. He may have done some horrible things to me and his father, but how much was really his own doing and how much was because of Lyican, Cecilia and that witch's manipulation no one knows. I can only hope and pray my son is only doing what they tell him for his own survival and they really didn't turn him into an evil monster.

  My therapy is going wonderful. I don't feel the raging hate I did, I learned to control it and center it by concentrating on plans that could stop Lyican and Cecilia and save my son in the process.

  Lou and Ann are dropping by soon to check on us. I have a roast chicken with vegetables in the oven and I already made a German Chocolate cake for them. I really love this side of Wayne's family. I don't know what happened to his brother for him to turn out like he did but according to Wayne their parents weren't exactly lovely people either and Lyican took their parents ideas and is now trying to carry them out. That can be a discussion for tonight's homework.

  As I take the chicken out of the oven, there is a knock on the door. It must be Louis and Ann but just in case I yell John get the door please. I'm busy with dinner. Wayne yells, ok Doris and answers the door. Sure enough it is our great nephew and his mate. Wayne pours everyone's soda and we say grace and eat. Lou tells us how training is going and we laugh when he tells us about the kids little tricks they are starting to pull using their new found abilities. Ann tells us about the new uniforms Dorian and Catilena designed and how comfortable and durable they are. The conversion takes a turn when us going home became the topic. I started to cry. It was Ann who comforted me. Holding me in her arms as I cried on her shoulder. She tells me Jackson and Dianna have already built us a house and it's also connected to the others and Maurice really could use my help teaching the students. I sober up from crying and start panicking. How can I face the children after what I tried to do? Louis tells me that they have been hiding a secret and now that everyone knows Wayne and I can be trusted, we can know what that secret is. He tells us that Killian is not a Dracul. Johanna is Killian's cousin and Geneva and Vlad are twin Dracul children. Wayne and I both laugh saying it is definitely smart of them hiding that information. I tell Louis that for the first time since this nightmare began I'm ready to start my life over and for the better. I open the door for them to see them out. When I freeze in the middle of saying goodbye. Good was all I could get out. I overcome my shock and tell Louis I forgot to get his leftovers. I shut the door quietly and usher them back in the kitchen. I turn to them and ask if they saw the woman who just came out of the room in front of ours.
