His Insane Lust

3

"Hey! Don't cry okay we are going to be fine, relax you don’t have to go to school today." I assured Ancy, while I was freaking out myself. "Let's head upstairs, let me call Bennett okay!" I asked Ancy cupping her cheeks and kissing her forehead. I quickly went and locked the front door, closed all the windows, I grabbed her hands and we ran up. Far from the dead. Ancy shouldn't have seen that, her mind not so mature to process this. I should have been the one to see it and put it away before she got there. I covered her with a blanket and dialed Ben's number it was just ringing on and on, it seemed like I was waiting forever

before the call just went off. My palms were sweaty, and I was shivering, if someone gets to know they might think, it's not what it is. If they think its a murder. But done by whom. But by the looks of it wasn't choked or shot, it must be a natural death. What so ever we need to get rid of that body as soon as we can. I re-dialed his number and after a ring, it came switched off. Strange, he must be avoiding me because of last night but this wasn't the time. I sat next to Ancy, pulling the blanket covering us, she was still sobbing. "I always wanted to ask him more about our mother how she was, why did she die, or if she ever lived with us here," Ancy said. I pulled her closer towards me. Nor did I have answers to all of those "we are both going to be fine okay, put away your backpack."I had to think, think

fast and properly. I need to find where is Bennett, his phone is switched off still. I started to tear up. I can't take this anymore, I know where he stayed, even though I never went that way. I can't leave Ancy here alone, the last thing I want is something to happen to her as well. I had to take her along with me. We got dressed and left."Where is it" Ancy asked for the third time in a row. "I as well don't know, I mean he told me the location was this, but its not...even matching slightly to his description," I said tiredly. "It's so hot Novah and we have

been walking for the past 30 minutes " Ancy cried. "Let's just ask people around here okay?" The truth was I just wanted to go as far as possible from our house. "Excuse me but do you have any idea of anyone named Bennett who lives here. " I asked a person in this small phone repair shop in the same block. "Can I know his surname?" the man asked. His surname, his full name, why don't I know his full name, I looked at Ancy if she had the slightest clue about it. She was already shaking her head. We didn't wait long before we went into the blockhead's office, we could take our chances here. There was an old, white-haired junky man sitting at the desk, " excuse us"He looked on top and grunted. "Yah tell me."Do u know anyone named Bennett who stays in this area.?" ,.."no one named Bennett here," he said shaking his head. Why is all this so strange to me, not knowing his surname, he never told us but neither did we ever told him our full names and now he is nowhere. It's blazing hot outside, I didn't want to keep Ancy out for longer. And so we headed back. There can't be any other meaning to this. But the truth was I didn't want to believe that old hag, whatever he said must be just utter nonsense, for all we know he must be just warming that chair for years not aware of his surroundings. I called him for one last time, you can't back out on us not now, I am sorry for all that happened last night. Just pick this once, where are you. I dialed his number, it wasn't switched off or going into voice mail anymore, the rings were going. I had left him so many voice messages in his box already. "-- hello" it was him. I stopped dead on my tracks, a tear rolled down, I had never been so happy over him picking up my phone. " hey" I said sobbing. Ancy was looking at me, worried. "Where are you ?" He asked bluntly. He does not know anything about it. "You tell me where you are, I came over looking for you, and now I am returning home," I said between my sobs. I was angry and frustrated. "Okay," he said sounding sad.

"What are we going to do now Novah...?" Ancy said slowly. She had laid still the whole time I thought she was asleep. "We are going to be as strong as we were, and walk out tomorrow to a new day with a new beginning, only you and me yeah .." He heard all of it. I re-dialed his number. It was Ringing and then it went into voice mail again. This is it, I can't fall weak now. At least for Ancy's sake. I pulled hands into mine and started walking, faster than before. I don't need anyone's help, can do it all on my own I have my sister with me. I have lost people from my life before also, this is nothing different except for the fact that this time its two people at once. We walked as fast as our limbs could take us. I was feeling guilty as hell. Before it was for leaving Bennett that way but now it's not for him. I was wrong he does not deserve it. While I was taking a moment on our housetop, my dad was taking his last breaths, I should have seen to him like I do every day instead of drinking. If I had just gone out and reached him last night, if he needed something, and I gave it to him, he might have been alive. It feels so foreign to say that He is dead now, both of our parents are now. We reached the house, I quickly unlocked it and we walked into the shade, I felt better after having been walked in that blazing Sun for so most hours now. I locked it again from inside which I usually didn't. But this was needed now. I needed to give us the very much needed protection. I turned back to dash against Ancy who hadn't moved from where Oliver "Ancy

where is he ?" I asked in a panic. He wasn't there lying where he had been, on the sofa "Don’t know, I was going to ask you if you had moved him from his spot before we went out." No...no  this can't be happening, I started freaking out. I walked all around the house from

top to down just to make sure he was gone or that he wasn't dead and we had made the wrong assumption, I wanted it to be that way. He wasn't their anywhere. For a minute I was shell shocked, what on earth was happening to us. It's like Zeus was so bored that he used his thunderbolt and we ended up like this. We both walked to our room closed all the doors Windows, put the curtains. The thoughts that were crossing my mind were really bad. What if this was something related to spirits or was someone playing with us. Are we in danger, where did Oliver go or his body to believe? I didn't have any contacts to seek for help. They say it's the relatives that come by your side when you have a family situation. But as far as I can remember, everyone's dead to us and neither have we ever tried looking out for them. It was already 7 pm and we were still quivered in one room under one blanket. Ancy had slept just an hour ago, I knew how scared she got of these situations. I felt lost, argumentative, spiteful, after all these years today I finally felt like blaming someone for putting us in this situation alone. I finally got out of bed, I made some sandwiches with leftover capsicum from the other day. I filled a water bottle too and took it along. I didn't want any of us to be wandering around here. I woke up Ancy slowly, and let her devour the sandwich, she didn't complain or made a sign of emotion about how awful it tasted. That made me feel madder, I never want to see her that way. "Arent you going to have supper

?" She asked slowly, as though her words could wound me. " I already had, I was hungry and you were sleeping. Now let's get some sleep, I need to go for work tomorrow" I said keeping aside the plate and bottle. With bare emotion. "Do I need to go to school too," NO?" I said too suddenly. " you are coming along with me at work. Okay?" I had tried my best to sleep, but the sleep too seems to be bitter to me today.

I am going to work as hard as I can, stay at the typing center for however long, provide her with everything. Once things get better and people don't notice or seem to be asking questions about Oliver, I will let her go to school too. "yes" Ancy said after some time. I couldn't see her but I knew she was sobbing. I was too. The next morning was terrible. I turned and tossed the whole night only to get no sleep at all. I had bags under my eyes and I knew I would get a headache sooner or later. It was so cold downstairs, I got goosebumps. It still smelt stale and gross. He isn't there but the smell hasn't left yet. Since I was awake anyway I decided to go and buy some fruits, I had money but I just didn't feel like leaving her alone and going. I woke Ancy and took her along with me, she didn't whine just obeyed. We bought some seedless grapes from the vendors nearby. Ancy loved them, life is going to be this way at least for some days. She needs to get over it and act normal before people start asking questions, that would make things more complicated for us. "Ancy you need to forget about what has happened. " I said as we walked by the grocery shops on the way home. "Do you hear me, Oliver was old and aged, if not today it had to happen someday.

You need to get over this okay..." She looked on top and directly into my eyes, and nodded. We quickly changed and I took her with me to the typing center I put on a maroon v neck t-shirt and a blue jacket with black jeans, it's just better to lay low like I always do. While Ancy put on a navy blue frock, which she had got for her last birthday. I purposely made her do that, I didn't want her to dress according to her mood like how she always does. I didn't want to make people suspicious. I made sure she took her bag along with her. I didn't want her wasting time she could read while no did my work. "Your early today," the manager said looking at me and then at Ancy. "Yah I just needed to come early " I took two chairs, gave one to Ancy right beside, and started with my work. It was noon 3'o clock, loo was blowing outside. Ancy was asleep next to me me. She had been studying in the morning. I had finished about 1543 tasks precisely and I was really happy with the work especially since I didn't dose off. Considering last night I got minimum sleep. I had to go to the boutique next. Ancy was looking better that afternoon, and I am sure the boutique will make her feel better. When we reached the granny flashed a bright smile to Ancy which she happily returned, that itself made me feel a lot better. I got to my work since it was the shopping season, the workload was high and a good amount was being collected. I made sure to tell Ancy to not disclose anything about the happenings. And if anyone asked about where Oliver was to just say home. I would steal glances at her during the work to make sure she was their and fine. The same lady from yesterday entered but this time she didn't have a red coat on, she was wearing a printed dressy full-length jumpsuit, an overcoat, and black goggles, the same one from yesterday. She had a Prada bag and high heels on, she directly walked up to me " Hello! Yesterday the clothes I took in the ones u suggested worked out beautifully. I was hoping you could help me out today as well" she said and smiled. She had a mole above her thin mat lips. "Yes, sure that's what I am here for. "I said and gave a fake laugh. I did exactly what I had done yesterday. But only today she picked every dress I suggested. She must be high on the money. Those costs too much, I mean from my perspective. I helped her get everything to the counter since they were too many and she couldn't carry herself. I and Ancy shared the same expression and we both giggled at how similar we thought. The lady must have noticed because she turned back to see me and then at Ancy. She stared and stared, which made Ancy so uncomfortable she turned away her head.

I saw the whole awkward situation, so I thought of breaking the ice their. " that's my sister Ancy. " I said walking past the lady to put the clothes on the counter. The lady went up to Ancy and cupped up her cheeks " your so beautiful " she said, I don't know what's up with this lady duh    u can't differ what she is doing under those goggles, I can't put together her

whole expression. " thank you." Ancy said chirping and smiled. Gosh the typical girl, she is so flattered. Then again what can we say, It not every day that someone just walks by and tells you about how beautiful you are. Then within some fraction of seconds, the p*****t was done via card and she was gone. I got back to work again. I am guessing I have to skip going to the garage today, I could help out with the crowd plus Ancy like it all here. It was 7 pm when all the customers had begun to leave, the shop had earned a lot this season, by the looks of it." Thanks a lot for all the help Novah I don't think we would have sold that much if we did not have a manipulator like you here" granny said after the customers had left and we were closed for the day. "Oh nothing like that," I said waving it off, " I saw you there you know, and now a bar of chocolate for my counter company," she said and gave a whole bar of Twix to Ancy. "She handed me $3 before we left, and said I deserved it. I knew we both felt much better than we had before. And I was happy about it. I knew everything will get back to the way it was I just need to give it more time and that's all.
