THE WALTON MASION
“honey!! ”
“honey I’m home “Mr Walton called as he entered the mansion
“honey!! “He called again climbing the stairs. He got to the room he shared with his dad wife. He opened the door and entered. When he was fully in, he shut it behind
“Honey”He called again but this time, more worriedly
Finally, a dirty blond hair slowly stuck her head out from behind the wardrobe. She took a peak at her husband .
Mr Walton quickly turned to the sound of the opening wardrobe. His mouth went agape seeing his wife
“leave! I’m trying to feed my child…” She whispered, her voice hoarse from screaming. Her face couldn’t be seen because her hair covered it all up.
He shook his head miserably. A moment she will act fine and the next moment, she will act insane
“honey… . You need to eat. I bought you something.. Please!?”
Mrs Beatrice let out an empty laughter. I’ve told you several times I won’t eat until my child does. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten.” she muttered in hatred as she held the doll to herself
“I’ve not forgotten. How can I forget?. You need to eat something honey. It’s not even our child. It’s just a doll…. A mere doll” Mr Walton blinked back his tears.
“don’t say that or our child is gonna get provoked. I don’t want to eat. I aren’t hungry”She said
“You have to try and eat, you look like bones.” Mr Walton urged on.
She shook her head vigorously. She started scratching her wild dirty blond hair. “I can’t, I can’t. If my child don’t eat, no foos. If my child don’t eat, no food. if my child don’t eat, no food. if my child don’t eat,no food. no food .”
As she started reciting those words, Mr Walton really did burst out crying. “Oh, Beatrice …what am I going to do with you?”
She kept on reciting those words, clinging her doll to herself and trapped in another world entirely.
“This is so terrible…! This is so horrible…! Oh, my honey, I can’t imagine what you’re is going through. She’s trapped in her head! She’s trapped!” he sobbed uncontrollably
Ever since she came back from the hospital, she has been acting weirdly
“Beatrice ?” he called softly, wiping the tears from his eyes.
Slowly, she looked away from her doll and stared at her husband
“you need to eat and sleep.”He said
She shook her hair vigorously, causing it to wave all around her. “if my child don’t bath, no bath. If my child don’t bath, no bath, ”
Mr Walton teared up again.
“Don’t say that honey, please don’t “He cried
Finally, Mrs Beatrice raised a dirty hand, pushed her hair to the back of her ear and stared at him.
Mrs Beatrice eyes watered up. “stop crying. You’re gonna wake my child. Arianna doesn’t like tears?” she said
He nodded blinking hard to keep the tears at bay.
“do you promise to stop crying? “She asked
“Yes, honey . I will make sure of that.” he promised sincerely.
“no more tears”He promised again
Mrs Beatrice took a faltering step away from the wardrobe, coming out. She stopped and hesitated.
There was Silence as she continued walking again. The doll was firming cling to her chest
And then, she ran from across the bedroom and threw herself on top of her husband throwing her now thin arms tightly around him, she clung tight to him.
Mr Walton lost balance and fell. Mrs Beatrice giggled as she also lands on top of him
Mr Walton smile not minding the fall. Not caring his wife dirty state, he wrapped his arms around her and held on tight. “It’s okay. I’ve got you.” he soothed softly.
he felt tears splash on her shoulder as she whispered, “Can’t believe Arianna is here with us. Arianna is finally safe honey .” She muttered
Mr Walton sobbed. His wife has completely lost her state of mind. If only she knew it was just a doll. If only he knew Arianna hasn’t been found
But.
He was sure of one thing. His daughter is saved and he knows he’s gonna find her soonest
