gone, alone she thought who would put her through so much pain? The tiny white slip of paper caught her eye. It held the answer she hadn’t noticed it before. It sat alone under the lamp on her small dresser. Getting up and with a shaky hand she picks it up and looked at the cold black bold print words. It said, “Enjoy, love Feltus”. The man she heard so many horrifying things about did this. The only question now was why?
There were a thousand questions she had but why was the most prominent. She screamed and found the strength to move again. Releasing a shaken uneven breathe she reached for her cell phone charging in the corner. Looking at Diego a small hiccup left her tight throat. Calling Aaron Darkholme to alert him of the situation. She hung up the phone and dialed Frost who was still next door before asking him to come over. She quickly texted Caleb and Lucy there was no way she was returning to their world as she walked through the house.
All the memories she had with Diego she had left behind and now she waited in the front yard. Frost came up to her and she was still silently crying so he just held her into her finally able to release the painful words. Diego was dead and she needed to find this Feltus person. She would stop him from hurting any other families like he destroyed hers’. Ginger needed Frost to do one last thing for her and that was sell the house. No good memories could replace the precious last night she shared with Diego.
Aaron arrived with an ambulance in tow to take care of the body. He marched right over to the pair. Aaron nodded his head to Frost in acknowledgement and she gave her statement as best she could under the circumstances. Ginger waited while he wrapped up the report with a forgotten half drink cold cup of tea in her hand that Frost made. Thanks to Frost she didn‘t feel alone at the moment and asked him to use whatever money she had to pay all the expenses for Diego‘s funeral. Of course he replied he would take care of it.
She turned back to Aaron and pushed the one request she wasn’t ready to voice yet. It felt as if she was giving up but maybe this was the right move. She needed his help and Aaron smiled warmly before telling her that wouldn’t be a problem just let him get his people off the property. After the funeral they could move her in and Frost’s mouth hung open. She was moving in with him and his family. If Feltus was after her then she had friend in his daughter. Both were being hunted by this mad man so hopefully they could deal with this together.
Chapter 26:
A few days later Ginger was packed up and ready to leave her past behind. She never got her lunch with Frost and Hannah who helped pack her things. She stayed with Frost unable to go to the places she had come so familiar with and the house sold surprisingly quickly. Caleb and Lucy were sad when she told them the day of the funeral but Victor stayed neutral on the matter. Lucy had become a close friend and she felt guilt for thinking Lucy might have killed her parents.
Lucy had read her mind and said, “I owe you my life so a little misunderstanding is a small price to pay”.
Ginger smiled when Lucy hugged her goodbye and promised to keep in touch. She would and not isolate herself like she did before when she lost her parents. She packed her journals and a few keep says to stay in the spare room she had occupied the past week. Frost’ parents were so supportive and she thanked them a lot.
Diego was gone and to meet his parents at his funeral was the last straw. In the back of her head that may be the part of her reason she needed a fresh start. To move past all this pain and find some sort of happiness.
It was Malcolm who told her before she left that living her life and trying to be happy was something her parents would want for her. That made sense and she thanked him but a small part of her was glad to leave. So much had happened to her that
