Tormented Hearts EP 9

- DOWNSTAIRS -

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Laughs* I'M FLYING!

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Grinning ear to ear*

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

(It fills my heart with immense joy to witness my daughter finally embracing a smile that knows no bounds. It's as if a burst of pure happiness has blossomed within her, illuminating the world around her. This newfound freedom in her smile is a testament to the love, support, and nurturing environment you've cultivated for her. May this be the beginning of a lifetime filled with countless moments of unbridled joy and laughter for my precious daughter.)

Audrey Tyler (FL)

Audrey Tyler (FL)

Dad, I want to soar even higher and touch the sky. *Smiling*

- My soul yearns to ascend even higher, to brush against the heavens above. I crave the exhilaration of soaring through the boundless sky, leaving behind the earthly constraints that hold me down. With every fiber of my being, I strive to reach new heights, to embrace the freedom that awaits me beyond the clouds. I want to fly. -

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

You'll reach for the sky and touch it, my dear daughter. *Gentle smile*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Giggles*

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

(Tsk! Just you wait, you big whxre! I'll show you how I'll wipe that smug smile off your face. You won't know what hit you!)

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

(Audrey, my dear, it pains me to admit the truth. It's because of me, your uncle's incompetence, that you find yourself in this wretched state. I am consumed by guilt, for I have failed you in the most profound way. The weight of my mistakes crushes my spirit, and I can only weep at the irreversible damage caused. Please forgive me, my sweet Audrey, for the darkness that has befallen us.)

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Poker face*

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

(I believe she requires further torture to cease her constant, foolish grin.)

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Gently, he brushes his fingers against her cheeks, a smile gracing his face* In this vast and sometimes harsh world, my princess, you are my beacon of hope. Without you, I feel as though the light within me would fade away. Audrey, you are my everything, my little sister who brings joy and meaning to my life.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Heart tightens* P-Princess...

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

The love I have for you knows no bounds, and I am forever grateful to have you by my side. You are not just my sister, but my life itself. *Smile softly*

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Clenched fist*

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Place her down with care and tenderness*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

Why did you drop me like that? *Furious*

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Hurt* Princess, I promise I'll lift you up later.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Clenching her jaw tightly* Didn't I already mention that I'm not a princess?

Audrey Tyler (FL)

I'M NOT A PRINCESS!

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Watery eyes*

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Smirk* (That's like a good toy.)

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

(She doesn't don the crown of a princess, but rather embraces the role of a humble maid, serving as a beloved plaything for my daughter.)

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*Rise from his seat* Audrey, for I am overjoyed by your presence here with us this evening. It brings me great delight... *Cast a disapproving gaze towards Bianca* to see you amongst our company. I've often found you secluded in your "room" whenever I am at home.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Empty gaze*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

*With a gentle smile gracing his lips* Come, take a seat by my side, for I have a special surprise for you this evening.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

MONSTER! MONSTER! MONSTER! AHHHHHH! MONSTERS A-ARE E-EVERYWHERE!

- Everyone froze in shock, their hearts pounding, and their breaths caught in their throats, as they laid eyes upon their beloved princess in such a vulnerable state. Time seemed to stand still as they struggled to comprehend the sight before them, their expressions a mix of concern, disbelief, and a deep-rooted love for their cherished royal. -

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Shaking like a leaf* N-Not a-again...

Audrey Tyler (FL)

MONSTERS! *Laughing*

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

(Carries on relentlessly until Stefano is left with no alternative but to escort you to the mental asylum.)

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Holds her head* Ahhhhhhhh! They're all around! Monsters... they're everywhere I look!

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Sobbing* Ma-Mama, s-save me.

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Winces in agony*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

(Am I truly a monster in her eyes? The thought haunts me, gnawing at my soul like a relentless storm. It pierces through the depths of my being, leaving me shrouded in a sorrowful haze. Every glance, every word, every flicker of her gaze fills me with a deep ache, questioning my worth. I yearn to unravel the truth, to find solace in her perception, but the fear of confirmation weighs heavily upon my heart. Am I destined to be forever cast aside, forever condemned as a monster in her eyes? The uncertainty grips me, suffocating my spirit, as I navigate this desolate path of self-doubt.)

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Trudge towards her with each step laden with the weight of his emotions*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Shut her eyes firmly, a hint of fear in her trembling voice as she warns* S-Stay away f-from me.

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Tenderly caresses her cheeks, a warm smile gracing his face as he whispers* Audrey, please look into my eyes.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Shakes her head* P-Please, s-stay away from m-me.

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Gently pleads with her, his voice filled with desperation* Audrey, I implore you, meet my gaze. Please, look at me.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*As her eyes gradually flutter open, a sense of wonder fills her gaze*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

W-Why? W-Why me?

- Brother, why must you cling to your stubbornness, refusing to see the truth? I beseech you, stay far away from me, for my heart aches with the knowledge that I may inadvertently cause you harm. She, your beloved princess, is not the epitome of innocence and grace, but a treacherous villainess who leaves a trail of devastation in her wake. Her actions bring pain and sorrow to all who dare to care for her, and my heart breaks at the thought of you falling victim to my wicked ways. Please, my dear brother, heed my words and protect yourself from the clutches of my malevolent enchantress. -

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Sad eyes* A-Audrey...

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Tears streaming down her face, she is consumed by anguish, her sobs echoing with the weight of her pain*

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Gently brushing away the tears that stained her cheeks* Audrey, my strong and fearless companion, when did you start shedding tears like a fragile baby?

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Embrace him in a warm and loving hug* Baby Audrey is sorry.

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Gently caressing her cheeks with a smile adorning his face* It's alright, Baby Audrey. Brother will always have forgiveness for you.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Grin* Even if I were to take your life?

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Hand curled into a tight ball, brimming with frustration* Audrey, please be mindful. Your words can really hurt your brother's feelings.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Pouts*

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Small smile*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

Alright, gather around everyone! I've got some big news to share with all of you. *Coldly*

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

(What's the deal with the news he's got? And why did he asked for that spirited girl downstairs?)

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

*Curious* (Is it about my wedding?)

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

Audrey, how about you go ahead and have a seat in that chair right over there? *points towards the chair*

Audrey Tyler (FL)

Nah, I don't feel like sitting alone. *Pouts sadly* I want dada with me.

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Chuckles*

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

But, Audrey -

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

Adam and Adonis are in on this. So, grab a seat.

Audrey Tyler (FL)

*Smiles*

Dante Tyler (FL Dad)

*Frown* A-Alright ! *Gestures for Giovanni to come and sit next to Audrey*

Giovanni Tyler (FL Brother)

*Sigh deeply* (What's he got to share with us this time?)

Natalia Tyler (FL Cousin)

Come on, Daddy, spill the beans already! What's the big news? *forces a smile*

Bianca Tyler (FL Aunt)

What's on your mind, darling? *Smile softly*

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

(She's like a moldy piece of cheese in a fancy restaurant, turning everyone's stomach! ☻)

Stefano Tyler (FL Uncle)

(My poor stomach (⇑o⇑)
