Chapter 20 Phill
"No problem" he responded
I locked my door and was ready because my dress wasn t bad
"Have you spoken with your father concerning my Uncle as you said?" I asked locking the gate
"He wasn t around since yesterday but I am sure that he will come back today because it is already weekend" he replied
I was done and got inside his car
We drove off to the hospital
I hope to see him
…..
…. COP Kelly POV ??
I got to the hospital
The woman was really crying
She refused to let go of the dead body
I stood at a spot watching her
I felt like killing Mr Ken at that moment
I walked straight to where the woman was, the baby w has gone far
I held the woman gently while I instructed the doctor to take the child from her
"The child is gone already" I said tapping her gently on her shoulder
"I suffered to give birth to that child" the woman cried
"I know, I promise to make the killer suffer more than anyone" I assured her
My mind was to torture Mr Ken, I was sure that he knows little about where the beast was
The woman managed to calm down
I had one thing in mind, which was Mr Ken
I left the woman and was about to go when I saw Jason s car driving inside the hospital
I stood and waited for him to park
He did and rushed out from the car with that same girl that was with them when I arrested Mr Ken
"This is what your stubbornness leads us into" I said looking at both of them
"We were only trying to save the world" Jason responded
"Did you succeed?" I asked in a mockery way
"Release Mr Ken and we will work together on this" he said
I would be a fool if I fall into his trick
"That s what you both did that made it this way" I said stretching my hand towards the woman
"You interfered in the middle of plans, why can t you just calm down and allow us to do this" he responded
"Don t worry, I will handle this on my own" I said
"Mr Ken will have to be tortured" I added as the other girl gasped
"Please don t torture my Uncle, he doesn t know anything about what you are asking of" she said
"So, do you know?" I asked
"I don t really know, am just trying to find out where David is" she replied
"You can t trick me young woman, I don t have time" I said and walked pass them
I got to my car and drove off
??????
….Jason POV ??
I knew how COP Kelly has always been
Once he made up his mind, he wouldn t change it
"What should we do now, my Uncle will have to suffer for what he doesn t know" Dorothy said
I was just confused because everything.
I need to make a plan
"We are even making a mistake" I said remembering something
"What?" I asked
"David is no longer a human, and if we make use of the leaf, he will just have to run away" I replied
"What are you trying to say?"
"We need to know what can calm him down before meeting him because he might attack us" I replied
"You are making sense, I need to meet my Uncle now but COP Kelly won t let me, since he is there, and we don t dare to interfere whenever the police are torturing someone in their chamber" she said
I just had only one plan
"Get inside the car" I instructed
We got in and I drove off
I called our house help and she told me that my Dad was home
I dropped Dorothy at a place close to the police headquarter
"Once COP Kelly walks out from there, rush in and meet your Uncle" I said while she nodded
I drove straight to my house
My Dad was inside the living room when I arrived
"Good morning Dad" I greeted walking in with a great speed
"Let it not be what am thinking" he said instead
"Dad, you people are just making it worst" I responded
"The killing will keep increasing and it means that COP Kelly who happens to be your brother, is not doing his work" I tried tricking him with those words
He loves his family very much
I knew that he would surely have a change of mind
"What do you think that would stop this killing?" He asked
I was sure that he was falling in
"Let him release Mr Ken and he will give us some idea" I replied
"Don t act smart, maybe we should torture him, then he will say it out by force" he said
"You will only make it worst, he just needs a peace of mind to think" I responded
"That s not working, better speak up, I wondered what they gave you" he said
"Your Dad isn t weak, we are always strong" he added
"Am not weak, I have a plan Dad" I responded
"Stop that play" he said
"Anyways, let me go and meet David" I said walking out of the living room
I stopped at the door after closing it
I smiled before walking to my car
I entered and drove off
??????
….Mr Ken POV ??
COP Kelly was in a room where lots of torturing weapons were kept before the other policemen brought me in
"Welcome to the next level" COP Kelly said smiling
I was just looking at him without saying anything
I just wanted to see how far he would go
"Shall we?" He asked
The two other policemen forced me to sit
"Are you ready to say the truth?" He asked plugging in an electric iron on the socket
Just then, his phone began to ring
He looked at me before picking up
"Really?" He suddenly asked as he dropped the electric iron on the floor
It fell and touched his leg
He jumped up immediately
I couldn t help it but to smile
He forcefully unplug it from the socket
"Okay, I will be there" he concluded and hung up
He looked at me with a wicked eye but I didn t make any move
"Am coming back" he said and left
I wondered what the call was all about
After some minutes, The other policemen asked me to stand up and we walked out of the room
Another policeman informed us that someone came for me
I was taken to the visitation room
It was Dorothy with her food
She stood up immediately she saw me and I smiled
"Are you okay?" She asked
"Don t worry, am fine" I replied
The policemen excused us as usual
"Have you find out where David is?" I asked looking at her
"Not yet but he killed a baby this morning" she replied
I had known that already
"It was not this morning but yesterday night" I responded, knowing very well that the beast would only hunt at night
"Seriously??" She asked
"Yes, is there any other record?" I asked
"Yes am just confused" she replied
"If you want to find where he lives, try during night" I responded
"How?" She asked
"You just have to sacrifice a night sleep for it but you need to be careful" I replied
"Don t go with the leaf, no light and maintain distance" I added
??????
…. Mrs Paul POV ??
I was damn worried about David
Since Friday he complained about being sick
I couldn t go to work that day
I had to report for his disappearance to nearby police station
I walked out and was going to my car when someone walked inside
I remembered seeing him at David s school
Hoping it was a good news, I smiled
As before, he remembered me of someone
"Good morning ma am," he greeted
"Good morning my dear, how are you?" I asked
"Am fine ma, my name is Jason" he responded while I nodded
"Okay Jason, Have you seen David?" I asked
"Am sure you are his classmate" I added
"Actually, David is…." He meant to say when someone interrupted
"Is a beast, David is a beast" the person who just walked in said
Jason turned to look at him
It was COP Kelly
"It is you" Jason said
"Are you surprised?" COP Kelly asked him
"Everyday for a thief and one day is for the owner of the house" COP Kelly added smiling
"Am just confused here" I said looking at them
"It is not like that" Jason said as he turned to look at me
"David have a demon in him, and he is responsible for all this killings " COP Kelly said as I held my chest
"He was also responsible for the death of your husband" COP Kelly added
"Oh my God" I said holding my chest
I couldn t feel myself anymore as I fell down
"Have you seen what you caused?" I heard Jason asked
"I forgot to come here earlier, I didn t think that far because I have been here before, David is really a monster" I heard COP Kelly saying
I was slowly going off
I felt hand lifting me up
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
It was already night
I walked down the street with full a very thick suit
I knew that it would definitely be hard
I stopped at a spot and looked around
It was meaningless going to where I don t know
I sat under a tree to take a rest
After some minutes, I was already feeling sleepy
I lays my head on the tree
Slowly, slowly, I was dozing off
Just then, I heard an animal noise as if it was eating something
I jumped up from the sleep and saw David just before me but kinda far
I stood up with fear written on my face
He was already devouring someone
I held my mouth to avoid screaming
He raised up his head and turned towards my direction but I ran over to the other side of the tree with my hand on my mouth
I heard his noise as he was walking closer ?
He was breathing heavily as he walked closer
"Og God, I don t want to die now" I said slowly
The next I saw was him standing before me
His mouth was filled with bloods as he was licking it
He was seriously in need of bloods
He groan again and raised up his claws
…..
…. Jason POV ??
We arrived home from school
From the look, my Dad was really angry
He got down from the car and went inside
I knew that he must had something to tell me
So I followed him immediately
"What are you really thinking?" My Dad asked really angry
"Dad, you really need to understand" I said
"I guess you are loosing it, how can a girl make you this weak?"
"We have never been weak" my Dad said
"I have a plan and she will surely regret it" I responded
"That s too bad" my Dad said and went upstairs
I collapsed on a couch in the living room and started thinking about my lost sister
??????
…. Faith POV ??
I was in my residence waiting for the queen mother
I knew she would come for talk on how I carried out the new mission
As I thought, she appeared
"Greetings, Queen mother" I greeted bowing a little
"You still can t do this same one?" She indirectly asked
I knew she was aware that I has not yet done as she asked me to
"I have another plan" I said
"I will like to hear it" she requested
"Bonny is Dorothy s current close friend and I think it would be perfect if we use him" I said
"I suggested Jason because you can easily deceive him and he is in you" the queen mother said
"I know how to do with Bonny, I just need your permission" I said
"I thought maybe it was destined to be Jason, that s why I seek your permission" I added
"That s great" she said smiling
"I will have to try your intelligence" she added
"Trust me"
??????
….. David POV ??
After dismissal, I got home with many things running in my mind
I was still in the living room when
The demon appeared again
"Stay away from Dorothy" the demon said
"Why?" I asked as I collapsed on the bed
"Just wishing you to do so" the demon said
"This is not necessary" I said as
I opened my bag and brought out the leaf I once saw in my bag
It looks exactly like the one Dorothy was holding earlier that day
Just then, the demon suddenly disappeared
"Geez, so it s true?" I asked myself
"Which means this leaf chases away demons"
"Oh" I said remembering that day the demon suddenly disappeared after telling me her past
The leaf was in my bag that day and immediately I took it up, the demon disappeared
"But does it mean that Dorothy knows much about demons?" I asked myself
"But why did she kept it to herself?"
"I don t think Zita would have died" I added
"And another thing was that the leaf came into my bag from nowhere"
"And if Dorothy knows about the leaf, that means she must be the one that puts it and she still pretend" I couldn t stop thinking
"I had to confirm it" I added before going inside for freshen up
The following day, I got to school as usual
Still Jason hasn t yet report to school
Although he was a very tough and bad guy but when it comes to someone s life and family, I always feel for others
I knew how I felt after loosing my father
Talk more of your sister
I had been with Jenny for a week plus and I understood how she felt for me but I always tried hard not to get it in me
I always try to make her not to feel bad but I do maintain limits knowing what would happen next
We had became close than before and Jason has not yet confront me
I guessed what Victor said was true
And talking about Victor, I felt like there was something about him
I suspected it during our video chat but I don t had to conclude
I got inside the class, Dorothy was already present with some other students
Jenny was also present
"Hey" I said as I sat beside Jenny which was my position
"Good morning" Jenny greeted
"Morning, still Jason hasn t come?" I asked
"It s really not easy" she said
"I also have the same pain" I said
"How do you mean?" She asked
"My Dad s burial will be on weekend and I will be travelling for it" I replied
"Oh, I remember when you told me that, sorry for that" she said
"No problem but I will like you to do something for me" I requested
"Which is?" She asked
"It has been a week plus since Dorothy stopped talking to me" I paused
"so I need to reconcile with her" I added
"But I thought you guys were back to normal from what happened yesterday?" She indirectly asked
"That s The main thing because how she behaves yesterday was somehow" I responded
"Okay then, so what should I do now?" She asked
"I will leave here now to the school hall"
"after some minutes, just tell her that you want to meet her at the school hall then leave the class but don t come to the hall" I added
"No problem then, please that friendship shouldn t end like that, just because of what none of you know about, I really love how you guys get along" Jenny said
I smiled
She wasn t jealous
I don t know why
"Thanks" I said while she smiled nodding
??????
… Jenny POV ??
I had always long for me to see Dorothy back to normal ever since Zita died
Jason always talked about what she normally does in some certain situations
It was always a weak point to David and I don t like seeing David like that
Even if he doesn t love me the way I does but I would still want him to be happy
Immediately he left with his bag, I walked straight to Dorothy and sat close to her since her seatmate wasn t around
"Hi" I greeted
"Hi" she responded
"Can we talk in private?" I asked
"Hope no problem?" She returned the question
"Not at all, just want to speak privately" I responded
"Okay then" she said
"I will be waiting for you at the school hall" I said and stood up
I left very fast, for her not to follow me immediately
I took the stairs and hides inside an empty class
I waited as she walked passed and straight upstairs
I didn t know what David has in mind but I didn t want to eavesdrop them
So I returned to the class
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
I wondered why Jenny was in a hurry to leave the class after she requested to speak with me
I walked gently into the hall but there was no one in the hall
"Jenny do you really like to play?" I asked the invisible Jenny hoping that she would laugh and come out
"Not really" a male voice came from behind
I turned to check who it was
"David" I called out gently
"I don t want to waste your time" he said as he opened his bag and brought the leaf I kept inside his bag, long time ago
"So you knew the solution?" He indirectly asked
"That s not the solution" I replied
"But it was of very useful" he said
"Maybe" I responded
"That shouldn t have happened if I had known this" he said
"But you hides it" he added
"My intention was not to disclose my gift until I find the final solution that would free you" I said
"That s why I kept it inside your bag, so that it would distance the demon from you" I added
"Did you find the solution?" He asked
Seriously, I haven t because it was hard to
"My Uncle said that he has someone that would" I replied
??????
…..Jason POV ??
That afternoon, after coming back from the arrangements we were making for my sister s burial
I sat down in my room as I thought of what must have been going on in the school
My mind ran to the previous day s encounter
The leaf which I saw on Dorothy s hand
It looks familiar
I scratched my head continuously trying to remember where I first saw the leaf
"My car" I said as I rushed out to my car
I opened the door and reached to the dashboard which was where I kept the leaf
I saw it when I dropped Dorothy off, that night after saving me
The leaf don t seem to be ordinary thing, that s why I kept it
So, I opened it and brought it out
It was still fresh
"Really suspicious" I said checking out the leaf
"Dorothy left this in my car after saving me from the demon" I said
"Oh wait" I added thinking from back
"I was with someone that evening but ended up being with a demon"
"But who could that be?" I asked for no one to reply
"Oh shit, wave off" I said because it was hard to remember
"And the demon disappeared immediately she opened the door, which means the leaf chases away demons"
"Interesting" I said
"So if David was the reason why Dorothy brought the leaf, that means he have something within"
"Another thing was, Dorothy stopped talking to David after the dead of Zita"
"There must be something really wrong somewhere" I added
"The statue of that person the demon used, was familiar and" I paused
"I need to get that picture again" I concluded rushing back to the living room and straight to upstairs
My father was with the picture
…..
…. Jason POV ??
Continuation
I rushed to my room
I couldn t remember how the picture went and I didn t want my father to have an idea of what I was suspecting but I had to try my luck in looking after it in my room
After some minutes of searching, I decided to try my father s room where I guess the picture would be
I knocked on his door
He waited for some seconds before responding
He permitted me in
He was the only one in the room
I guessed maybe my Mom went to get something
"You look like you have something to say?" He indirectly asked
"That picture, do you have it?" I asked
"Which picture?" He returned the question
"The one COP Kelly said to be the demon s worker" I had to put it that way
"Do you have any suspect?" My Dad asked instead
"Not yet but I want to see it again" I had to lie because if I should say that I was suspecting David, he would conclude it and take action and it would possibly be that David wasn t the one
I just wanted to be sure, so that I will expose him
"COP Kelly took it while going" my Dad replied
"What s the problem?" That was my Mom s voice coming from my back
"It s about the demon" my Dad responded
"What!?"
My Mom rushed to stand before me
"Did he meet you?" My Mom asked
She was seriously scared
"No" I replied, then turned around and left their room
It was useless going there because I wouldn t try to meet COP Kelly because he must try to get to the bottom of why I requested for it, all of a sudden
And I wasn t ready to let him know
So, to be sure of it, I had to wave it off but I still had another plan on how to be sure, which was to attack David with so many styles
I went straight to my room and took my phone to call Bonny who was the plan
??????
…. Bonny POV ??
I just arrived from school and was planning to call Dorothy so as to act as if I was caring
It was the easiest way to get her closer to me and that secret would be exposed
Just as I was about to call her, Jason s call came in
I didn t hesitate to pick it up
"Hey" I first said
"Cool, just missing school and my sister" he responded
"I understand that but it s a matter of time" I said
"So how about the plan, any information?" He asked
I had to smile
"Dorothy is still hard to say it out" I replied
"We don t really need her" Jason said
"Maybe but I just want to clear my doubt" I responded
"Aren t you suspecting Dorothy and David?" I asked
"What about?" He asked back
"I can t just get down the whole picture but there is something really wrong about them" I replied
Although I don t really know and Jason wasn t smart enough because we had suspected that earlier and I was bringing it up again as if I was playing smart
"Let s plan on David first and let it not be on Friday because am making some arrangement" he said
"What s your plan after that, I thought you just wanted to get Jenny back?" I asked
"If you can remember, we had planned on kidnapping him before and then, I was still with Jenny" he said
"So what s really the plan because I had no idea, I was just working to be among you guys?" I asked
"Good then, you have to work harder but you will get to know what the plan is, on that day" he said
"Am hanging off" he added and hung up
He was full of himself
I do hate him but I still admire him because of the way he does, sometimes
I would love to overtake him but I had to endure, to get to the top
I waved it off and called Dorothy
??????
….. Faith POV ??
Still waiting for the perfect time to meet with Bonny
I was in my residence as usual, talking with the queen mother when another demon appeared
It was the same demon that do posses David but I wondered why she was in my residence
"We don t have things in common" the queen mother said but I focused on the demon
It smiled
But it was difficult to recognize her smile because she was too ugly
Although my demon being was ugly but hers was worse
"It can be true but I think you are wrong somewhere" the demon said
"It is very clear that I am not" the queen mother said
They were really exchanging wisdom
"Aren t you intending on killing Jason?" The demon asked
"Don t even think of it because I know that you are after the whole family" the queen mother said while the demon laughed
"But it is for our own benefits" the demon responded
"It can t be, you are out for revenge but am out for protection" the queen mother said
"It s not protection because someone still don t know how she existed" the demon said
The queen mother turned to look at me
My mind ran fast
I guessed, she was referring to me
"For peace and successful intentions, I advise you to take this request" the demon said before disappearing
I was just confused
There was something that I still really need to know
"Queen mother, what did she mean?" I asked
"Nothing serious, I will handle it" the queen mother said
"What about the assignment?" She asked
I understand what she meant
"They are making plans and I have mine" I replied
"I do admire your intelligence" the queen mother said smiling and disappeared
I guessed she was going for the demon
I wouldn t have to worry myself that much
