Jayson: Chapter Four: Aftermath of the Gate

Chapter Four: Aftermath of the Gate

 Azania trembled at the sight before her eyes. An old picture of a woman wrapped in the arms of a mysterious young man. The woman wore a dress that seem to mimic those of the late 1800’s and the fedora and suit that the young man wore is what really personified the era of which this picture was taken. 

The picture hung in the walk way of what seems to be an entrance to a house, or room of some sort hidden further back in the rose garden.

Azania froze when she saw what the others saw. The woman in the picture had her face, her stature, and her eyes were so life like it felt like she was staring into her own soul.

“Who is this” She ask the Blackwilt siblings hoping they knew the answer.

“This is our first time seeing the picture” Emerald said in total shock.

Sina looked at her with the look of disbelief on her face.

“Well let’s open the other door and maybe we can find some clues” Sina said making the only logical conclusion out of the group.

Maurice ran in front blocking them. “We should save that for another day I think we have all seen enough for one night”.

Sapphire and Abigail didn’t hesitate to turn around and head back to the house. Azania and Sina stared at one another in complete silence.

Back in the house Sina tried to lighten to mood by showing pictures of them when they were younger. She came across a picture of her and Uche when they first started dating and started to turn pale in the face.

Sapphire grabbed the picture out of her hand and she froze. Emerald grabbed the picture from her sister’s hand and started to tremble. Causing Maurice to follow suit upon glancing at what they saw.

Azania crossed her legs as she watched these people who were strangers a few hours ago behave as if they knew more about their life then they did.

“Do ya’ll know him” Azania asked as she she shifted positions on her vintage styled couch.

Penelope being the only one of her siblings who managed to keep her composure shrugged her shoulders. Abigail slammed the picture on the glass coffee table and walked torwards the window. Maurice stood up and started pacing.

“It’s obvious that ya’ll know some shit and your not telling us”. Sina said motioning towards the kitchen and pouring a nice little mixture of White Gin and Cranapple juice.

“You Fuckers are stressing me out” Sina continue when she returned to the living room. Azania had her arms crossed as she sported her infamous bitch face.

Sapphire stood up.

“Fuck this shit it’s only right that we tell them” She said looking at the rest of the Blackwilts.

“We can’t. remember they have to find these things out for themselves” Emerald said with the look of pitty written on her face.

“Have it every occurred to you that maybe this is the reason we met them today”? Sapphire continued to provide a reason to spill the tea.

“Sap is right” Maurice being the only Blackwilt male left agreed with his younger sister.

“I mean how else are they supposed to find out” Abigal said in agreement.

Sapphire put her hand on her hip.

“Okay we’ll tell them”. She said after letting out a big sigh.

The Blackwilt sibling all sat down and looked at each other waiting to see who would start. When Penelope held her chest and begin to speak.

“Have you seen him”? She asked and instantly Sina froze.

To Be Continued…….

Questions to think about before next week.

Why did the Uche’s picture change the mood for the Blackwilt siblings?
