Annabelle in Whitehall

Good morning, bro.

Good morning, sis. How was your sleep? I hope you slept well. or do you miss your bed back in the villa?

I slept well, and please, no more room for morning questions.

Okay, ma'am, said Will as he sent her out of his room.

I need to go and get dressed because I need to be in school for some personal business.

Okay, Will, I will, but I really don't know what to put on since it's my first day, said Annabelle with at most frustration.

Okay, this is the part where my girl gets in as he reaches for his phone and gives it to Anna.

Talk to her snappy and make yourself look gorgeous before I'm done, because if not, you're going to be your own driver.

Wow, you're driving to school? This is so great, and I'm sure someone is going to like it, said Annabelle.

Hey baby.

Hey Whit, this is Anna and not ba....by.

Oh, sorry, Ann, but where is my baby since you're the one with his phone? Ask Whitney, who was curious to know what had happened.

Will is fine; it's just that I need to pick an outfit to make me look good and new, but I couldn't do it, so your baby suggested his personal designer to me.

Okay, so have you picked a list yet?

Nope I guess we'll just switch to video call, and then you'll choose any outfit of your choice for me, because I'm very confused right now.

Oh, that's because you've lots

Please stop kidding. Whit, said Annabelle as she switched the call.

***

Hey bro, how is my outfit?

Oh God, wow, this is splendid, sis. Your outfit is wonderful.

Of course, it's your personal designer's handwork, and it's supposed to be splendid.

Yeah, my baby is the best, he said.

Alright, let me get my wallet and some stuff so that we can zoom off, said Will as he opens his mini bed drawer.

I'm all done, said Will as they went in the car and drove off.

Good morning, students, Said Whitehall principal in the assembly hall.

Good morning, sir, said some students, while others called him Principal.

The week has been going so well, and I'm proud to announce to you that the academy quiz and debate attended by Whitehall students was a success. Whitehall emerged as the first in the competition, and I'm so glad for that as he showers praise on his students.

I would also like to announce to you personally that a new student from the villa is in our midst today as he signaled Annabelle to join him.

Is she a celeb child? Is she the president's daughter? Is she the governor's child? Is she the mayor's child? These were the questions many students were asking.

This is the daughter of Whitehall Finley, the owner of our great academy, said the principal as the students applauded.

Yeah, thanks guys. I'm Whitehall Annabelle, and I'm glad to see you all.

Welcome, Ann. Many of them replied.

***

Did dad really have to do all this? ask Annabelle.

I really don't know Ann; at first we pretend to be cousins, and now you're announced as Whitehall's daughter. How on earth did he want us to cope with all this? said Will.

What do you mean by pretending to be cousins? Said Whitney, who was behind

Oh, great, said Will as he turned to her.

Babe I'm sorry for not telling you. Please pardon my insolence, and I will make sure I never lie to you again.

Why will you keep a thing like this from me, babe?

He kept it from you because he was scared of your actions, said Annabelle. I don't even know why dad has to announce my arrival. Yeah, I know he doesn't like me being bullied, but now that everybody knows, I'm sure friend-making will be hard since everyone will want to be my friend.

I'm so sorry for that, Anna, but you are always welcome in our group, okay?

Yeah, thanks, Whit, as she leaves them to talk.

So, babe, does this mean you're also Whitehall's child?

Yeah, I am, and I was sent here to monitor some of the work of the formal principal before he was dismissed.

Oh, I heard he was corrupt and many other things too, but if so, why did you remain in Whitehall?

I like the academy, and I also knew you were at this school, so all I could do was stay.

Okay, I think it's time for class; we will talk more later, said Whitney as she gave him a hug and they both went to the classroom.

Good morning, students, said Mrs. Sally (Annabelle's class teacher).

Morning ma, replied the students.

As we all have heard, we have a new student in our class today, and I would like you all to welcome Miss Annabelle Whitehall with the class anthem. Please, said Mrs. Sally as the student obeyed her.

***

How were the lectures today, baby sis? said Will, who was waiting for Whitney and the couples ( Houston and Phyna) to come back from the library.

It was fine, big brother, and I was also welcomed with the class anthem, said Annabelle as she pointed to Whitney and the rest approaching.

Hey baby, said Will as she kissed Whit deeply.

Guys, please, I need a tour of this city, said Ann, looking at them childishly.

I'm in, said Phyna, holding Houston's hand like she was trying to convince him.

Okay, I'm also in for the tour, said Houston as he looked at Phyna.

Okay guys, hop in the car, said Will, referring to Whitney and Annabelle.

***

Boom!! You're welcome, said Will as he showed Annabelle the city center waterfall.

Wow, this is awesome, and I feel like going in right now, said Annabelle smilingly.

Okay, can we go to the Window park, please? said Whitney, looking at Will.

Okay, fine, Window Park, here we come, said Will as the tourism continued.

They sang all the way to window park.

OMG!!!

now, I see why Whit chooses this park, this place is large, said Annabelle as she was still amuse.

Come on guys, let go get tickets, said Phyna as they all went to get their tickets.

Please, I want to go into that thing said, Annabelle pointing towards a little cave with an epitaph saying " It's coming".

Do you have any idea what that is? Will asked Anabelle who was still very eager to go in.

I just want to see what's in there said Annabelle, making a persuasive cute puppy facial expression.

Who wants to go with Anabelle? asked Whitney who at a moment was willingly and eager to go in too.

Me! me!!, said Phyna as she moved towards Annabelle and Whitney.

With the three cute puppies standing; Houston and Will could not dissuade them any further. All they could do as the point was to go in.

They were all in together and everything was going smoothly for them until they were separated at another junction in the cave.

This is where the horror begins, said Houston who had been there before to himself.

All that could be heard at this split seconds were screams from different angles resounding into another's hearing.

Help me! Save me!! Help me!!!

A voice screamed as light fades.

***

That was the most horrifying moment of my living, said Annabelle who was still jolted from the experience.

Ohh, so now you're talking, Phyna said with a traumatized tone.

it's okay both of you said Whitney trying not to lose her breath. Did any of you see that gigantic clown, the one with the red hair?

Nope, mine was mixed; black and red said Annabelle holding onto Will as if the clown was standing right in front of her.

Guys, it's almost dinner time, I think we should all head home now, so that these babies can go wash their fears with some wine. Said Houston, as they all laughed, forgetting their experience for some moment.

The clown said Will, trying to scare them.
