Reminiscence Of A Dreadful Past
Episode 5
Not even after a long bath could Nadia sink her sorrow. She now needed to deal not only with the death of her parents but also with the uncertainty of what really happened with her long deceased brother Adrian
Nadia Nilsen
What happened to you, Adrian? Where does this blurry memory come from?
Lindsay Johnson
Ok, everyone! I heard Drake's car coming! Get ready for dinner!
The voice of Lindsay traveled from the kitchen to announce the arrival of her husband
Nadia looked outside the window and noticed a pair of lights on the road approaching to the house
Nadia Nilsen
Maybe he know something new about my parents case!
Nadia rushed downstairs, accidentally bumping into Damian, who came from the living room to receive his father
Damian Johnson
Wow...are you ok?
Nadia Nilsen
Yes, I'm sorry...
Damian Johnson
Well, I don't mind getting this close to you, at all not...
He said with a charming smile that took her breath away
Carter Johnson
Ew...that was cheesy
Nadia turned following the direction of the voice. Carter was standing high up the staircase looking down with disgusts
Damian Johnson
Shut up, you lab rat!
Lindsay Johnson
Enough! Both of you! Your dad must be tired from work, so please behave!
The door opens and the old sheriff enters the room with a tired long face
Sheriff Drake Johnson
A welcome committee? What a surprise! Even Damian is here!
Sheriff Drake Johnson
How are you feeling, Nadia?
Nadia Nilsen
A bit puzzled...I have many questions...
Sheriff Drake Johnson
I bet, this situation took us all for surprise. Stuart was a very close friend, and Martha was an incredible woman
Lindsay Johnson
Both of you can discuss about this after dinner. Come and sit before the stew gets cold
Everyone entered the dinning room only to discover that all the dishes were already served. They all sat down and began to eat after saying a prayer
Nadia Nilsen
It looks delicious, Lindsay
Lindsay Johnson
Thank you, my dear! But you know the rules of this house, nothing is to be left on the plates... especially not my apple pie
Nadia Nilsen
Oh I will not share it, that's for sure!
After a few funny stories about the past, dinner was over. Nadia offered to clean the dishes in return for the hospitality
Lindsay Johnson
Nadia, dear. I just took your purse to the room, but something buzzled inside it
Nadia Nilsen
That must be my phone, I'll check it later. Thank you Lindsay
When all the dishes were clean and dry, Nadia joined Damian and his father outside at the porch
Sheriff Drake Johnson
Oh, Nadia! A beer?
Nadia Nilsen
Thank you Drake, I think I had too much stew...
Damian Johnson
And an apple pie cake under the piercing eye of Lindsay Johnson
Nadia Nilsen
It's been a while since I ate such heavy food at night
Sheriff Drake Johnson
So, Nadia...how are things in Upmont going?
Nadia Nilsen
Well...let's say it hasn't been easy
Sheriff Drake Johnson
Well you can always come back to Riverford if you feel you don't fit there
Nadia Nilsen
I will think about it. Thank you, Drake.
Sheriff Drake Johnson
I bet that a few people would be happy to have you permanently back
He looked at his older son briefly and smirked look back at her
Sheriff Drake Johnson
Nadia, I know you have a lot of questions but please, let's wait until tomorrow. I just want to get a shower and get in bed
Nadia Nilsen
Sure no problem, Drake...I understand
Sheriff Drake Johnson
Good, now if you excuse me I head back inside. My old bones cannot stand the chill nights anymore. Don't stay out until late...ok?
Damian Johnson
No, Sir. I will send her up soon
Sheriff Drake Johnson
Alright, good night then
He said as he stood up and entered the house
Damian Johnson
How long are you planning to stay?
Nadia Nilsen
Well, I would like to get some answers about my parent's death...
Damian Johnson
So you will stay here for a while?
Nadia Nilsen
Yeah I guess so...
Damian Johnson
Awesome, that relieves me. I thought you would leave straight away
Nadia Nilsen
No...not just yet
Damian Johnson
Well in that case, I'll leave you so you can rest. We will have enough time to talk
Nadia Nilsen
Ok, where will you sleep?
Damian Johnson
I'll go back to the farm...I'll come tomorrow to give you a tour around your old town. Maybe seeing familiar faces will help you feel better
Nadia Nilsen
Ok, good night, Damian
Damian Johnson
Good night, Nadia
After closing the door behind her, she headed upstairs to the room. Everyone seemed to be sound asleep.
When she entered the room she saw her purse and remember Lindsay's words. She grabbed her phone and saw she received a message from an unknown source
Unknown number
I found you 🙂
With a knot on her stomach and shaking hands, she started to sweat and a chill crossed her back up to her neck. She nervously rushed to reply
Before she could even sit on the bed, the cellphone vibrated again
Unknown number
Oh I don't think so, Nadia. Welcome "home"🐈
Unknown number
You will find it out soon. Now turn off the lights and go to sleep
Nadia started shaking uncontrollably after that sentence. Something inside her warned her of an imminent danger close to her. She rushed to the light switch and turned the lights off. She immediately received another message
Unknown number
Good girl. Good night
Nadia could feel her heart beating on her throat. She moved to the window looking around in the dark
A new message arrived on Nadia's phone making her heart jump, as she took her eyes away from the window
Unknown number
Don't get anxious, I also want to see you...but, it would be boring if it would end so soon.
Nadia Nilsen
Stay away from me, you psycho!
Nadia turned off her cellphone and went away from the window. She went to bed and covered her head with the blankets
Nadia Nilsen
What the hell is going on?
