Dance With Me (Silent Whisper’s)

‘Forget your past, Learn from your mistakes and look forward to your Future because good things are yet to come.’

“I look forward to that sir.” Nora told him through her braille words.

“Please call me Mark, any friend of Philip is also my friend.” Mark said smiling at the masked girl.

Nora bowed her head and left with Craig to her room.

“Sorry to ask Mrs Dante, I thought you had two grandchildren, girls, and one committed suicide about 3 years ago. Who then is Ora?” Mark asked. His son David and Lora were friends and she had told him her twin sister, Nora, committed suicide and now she was the only grandchild of the Dante family. Seeing this dancing girl that is of Lora age came as a surprise to him, so he had to ask to be sure about his suspicious.

“Oh Mark.” Kate said laughing. “She is my late sister daughter, the one that died eight years ago. Though she couldn’t live with me then until her father died some years back, so I automatically became her guardian until she is of age. But for now, she calls me her grandmother and she is my granddaughter.” The lie rolled out from Kate mouth with ease.

“So sorry for that, help me and tell her I will be bringing in some documents that she will sign, signing it automatically makes me her manager.” Mark said.

“Of course I will tell her.” Kate responded with a smile as Craig came down the stairs.

“Alright Mrs Kate, I still have some other places I will be visiting, your home happens to be the first on my list.” Mark said going for the door.

“No problem Mark, thank you for wanting to help my granddaughter.” Kate said.

Mark smiled at her and left with Craig behind him.

They got to his rented jeep before Mark would open the door he turned to look at Craig.

“Take faith man, all is not lost. You are still alive my friend and Philip won’t want to see you unhappy.”

“I feel guilty Mark, at night I cried myself to sleep with the thought that I was the one who had pushed Philip to his death. If I wasn’t pestering my son to accept that scholarship he wouldn’t have ever thought of boarding that plane, I killed my own son Mark, I caused his death.” Craig said cleaning the tears that had escaped from his eyes.

“Stop saying that Craig, I am really sorry. I told my son to stay away from that his evil nephew Paul Mirror, if he hadn’t harken to my words, he would have been with him in that fatal accident he had yesterday in Valten, my son would have been hospitalized by now. What I am trying to say is, it wasn’t your fault, don’t blame yourself okay.” Mark said feeling sorry for his friend.

“Thank you Mark for your kind words, but you never told me you were related to the Mirrors family, they’re billionaires and are the most feared and dreaded mafia gang you will ever find.”

“Actually, Paul’s father is my elder brother, but due to what he is into, I decided to change my surname and not associate with them or speak of them. But you know David, he wants that kind of life, to be like his nephew Paul. Anyway Craig, I will see you soon, take care of yourself and don’t think too much.” Mark told him and entered his car and drove out of the premises of Kate.

“That was the last dance I taught you Nora, this is the time we part ways.” Daisy told her human friend.

“Part ways? What did you mean?” Nora asked slightly confused. They were under the huge tree Nora had first seen the night she discovered this secret place. No floating dead fairies were seen, daisy had buried them all.

“What I meant is, this is where I will have to tell you goodbye.” Daisy said more clearly now.

“Why? Did I did something wrong in your world that you’re not telling me?” Nora asked.

“No, you did nothing wrong Nora, it is the ways and tradition in my world. I taught a human how to dance a fairy dance. Don’t you still get it?” Daisy asked gently.

“I don’t understand you Daisy, what is going on? Why are you saying all these things now?”

“I have taught you all that you need to know. When you leave this place tonight, this will be the last time you will see this world or me. Like I told you, I was the last dancing fairy and now I have pass it down to you.” Daisy said and tears started falling from Nora’s eyes. “Please don’t cry Nora, I did what I have to do for you, to give you another chance.”

“So you’re telling me now that you gave up your life for you to teach me how to dance?”

“Well… not exactly the way you had put it but yes.”

“How could you? You’re my friend Daisy, my best friend. You gave up your life for a stupid dance I did not even know and I stupidly learn? You could have told me, if I had knew about this, I wouldn’t have agreed to learn your dance.”

“Nora you have to be brave now, there is nothing you can do.”

“In my world I can’t see nor talk, then I discovered here and you gave hope, after that, I lost my Philip and now I am going to lose you too. This is too much.” Nora said, still crying.

Suddenly a light emerged out of Daisy body and soon faded, her tiny legs began to disestablish.

“This, I’m afraid, is the end of my journey.”

“Daisy, what’s happening? Why are you fading? What’s going on?”

“It’s all right… old friend… in the end, what matters isn’t how long we’ve lived, but how fully we’ve lived… The good we’ve done… the friends we’ve made… the love we shared along the way…” Daisy said as her as her hip and leg faded into sawdust.

Nora began to cry harder. “Don’t go daisy.”

“It is the journey, Nora… Remember that always.” Daisy said as her remaining body faded away leaving her head.

“Take away the dance you have taught me please, so that you can still live.” Nora pleaded.

“Fool… how did you think my twin sister came into your world. I will be back Nora.”

Before Nora would understand what she meant daisy disappeared.

All the shiny flowers and everything began to fade.

Nora find herself near the staircase and she find herself leaving the garden for her world, this time for good.

Somewhere in Valten City:

“Please Fey bring back my only son to life, I can pay you millions.” Robert Mirror pleaded with his old friend.

“My friend, no amount of money can bring Paul back to life. The accident was a fatal one which claimed his life. Sorry my friend, but there is nothing I can do.” Doc Fey said.

“Please let me see my son.”

“Sure.” Doc Fey said and took him to the ward his dead son was. Robert cried when he saw his son corpse, he covered his late son face as the nurses took the still body out of the ward. He was about to go when he saw someone in the next bed.

“Who is he?” Robert asked.

“I don’t know him, he was brought by an old man who said he survived a badly fire accident. Although the little money the old man usually brings couldn’t afford his treatment, so he abscond and we bought him here, it has been almost 4 months now, once he stop breathing, we are throwing him out into the river.” Doc Fey explained.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Robert walked around the body.

“Will he survive Fey?” Robert asked suddenly.

“Yeah, once I see the right money, I will commence treatment immediately, if he had wanted to die, he would have died the day they brought him here, he is a fighter I must say.”

“Once he is awake, can he remember who he was?”

“With the multiple injuries he had sustained, there is a 99% guarantee that he won’t remember who he ever was. Why all these sudden question Robert?”

“I have an idea Fey. This boy has the height and body build of my son, I need you to perform a surgery on him, you are the best in this field old friend, give him the face of my dead son.”

“You know that is going to cost you a lot of money Robert.” Doc Fey said, rubbing his palm together. He loves money.

“I am going to give you money that your third generation will still be spending, just make him look exactly like my son. This will be our secret old friend. Once he wakes up, he is Paul Mirror.”
