Chapter 34 Pitchy

Dorothy POV ??
The following day, I was already in Paris
Thanks to Victor s money,
It went a long way to save me
I took a cab right from the airport to my house
I couldn t wait to see my Uncle
I wondered the kind of condition he would be into
I got home
Everywhere was just as I left it
The gate wasn t locked but it looks like no one has come there
The front door wasn t locked also
I wondered what I was thinking, forgetting that everything in that house was at risk
My mind didn t go there
I rushed to my Uncle s room
He was on his bed, with normal posture
"Uncle" I called looking at him closely
He looks like someone that has no life left inside
I opened his cupboard and took the drink
I dropped one shot into his mouth
The drink slides inside
After some minutes, he opened his eyes
"You scared me" I said sitting on the bed
"You are back?"
"Yes"
"I haven t been scared as I was" I added
It is not that he was looking scary but the scared I got can t be compared with how I do feel anytime those demons appeared to me
"It is not even up to five days, so what s the need for being scared?"
"It is too hard for me to believe this whole thing "
"But you believe about the BROKEN TOMBSTONE?" He asked while I smiled
"Let s not go to that now, how was it?" He asked
"The guy refused to come"
"You won t blame him" he said
"What about the one who can read the book?" He asked
"The same thing" I replied
"That s what the nature said" he said
"How do you mean?" I asked because I was confused
"There is more I need to tell you" he added
"What and what?" I asked
He was about to reply that when we were interrupted by a knock on the gate
"Seems like someone used to come here when I left?" I asked
He didn t reply
I waved it off and went to check, who was that
??????
…. Jason POV ??
It was too bad for me that I didn t think about Dorothy s Uncle since she left
I forgot that he was attacked and couldn t do anything
Since Dorothy left, this day was the day I remembered that he was in that condition
After visiting David s mother, I drove straight to Dorothy s house
I got there and the gate was open
I wondered how she would just leave everywhere like that
I first tried a luck by knocking
After some seconds, there was no response
I decided to go inside
I haven t walked inside like that when I saw Dorothy walking out from the house
"You already back?" I asked with a surprise look
"Yes, quite good timing" she replied
"What about your Uncle?" I asked
"You can come inside" she said instead and turned to go inside
"How was it?" I asked walking from behind
"I couldn t believe Victor" she said
I was surprised, wondering what must have happened
"How do you mean?" I asked
By then, we were already inside her Uncle s room
He was looking at the ceiling
"Good afternoon sir" I greeted
He shifted his eyes from the ceiling to where I was
"You are welcome my son" he responded
Feeling loved from those am not related to
"Let s go" Dorothy said as we walked out
"How long will he be like that?" I asked because I was worried
"According to him, as long as David remains as he is" Dorothy replied
"Then we need to act fast because he looks like he is going to die soon"
"Am also scared" she replied
"So how did you go with Victor?" I asked because that was also important
"He said that he won t come, we shouldn t disturb him" she replied
"Did you mention my name to him?" I asked because if he knows that I was among the team, he wouldn t like to help again, concerning our last fight before he left
"I didn t, but he might be aware of it because he made mention of something related to it" she replied
So Jenny and Victor will be our problem
Just then, someone walked in
We turned our eyes towards the gate
It was Jenny
"Jenny" Dorothy called
"Getting closer" Jenny said looking at both of us
"Anyways, am here to tell you guys that I will help you" she said
I looked at her in disbelief
If she really wants to help us, she must have another plan
…..
…. Dorothy POV ??
I couldn t explain the kind of joy I felt when I heard Jenny agreed to help us
"Are you for real?" Jason asked
I turned to look at him
"Better don t start" Jenny said instead rolling her eyes
"Why all of a sudden?" Jason asked
I wondered if that was how they used to be, when they were together
"Jason can you just stop?" Jenny asked, I guessed, she was getting pissed off already
Jason didn t reply her again and everywhere became calm
"So can you now explain everything to me now?" Jenny asked turning to face me
"Let s sit down first" I said
She looked around the house before walking to the chair, we dropped at the front of the house
Meant for the visitors
"According to my Uncle, he said that we need to seal up that BROKEN TOMBSTONE in order to get David free from the demon but before that, we will need like five people to go for the journey" I explained
"Apart from me and you, who else is among the five?"
"Jason, Victor and David" I replied
"David!!?"
"In that condition?" Jenny asked surprisedly
"We need to get the remaining four, then the book or my Uncle will tell us how to go with it" I replied
"So what about the book?" She asked
"Am still with it" I replied
"So can I have it?" She asked
"My Uncle said that I will place it to your order that day" I replied
I thought she would use it for some days before the appointed day but my Uncle said otherwise
"So, where is David now?" She asked
That question was suspicious
"The book will tell us that day" I replied
"Okay then, when the day comes, you can let me know" Jenny said standing up
"I will be on my way now" she added and left
"Why are you suddenly silent?" I asked referring to Jason who hasn t said anything since Jenny attacked him earlier
"Am just observing Jenny, she isn t what she looks like" Jason replied
From the way she acted, could tell that Jason s thought was right
"My Uncle said that the book will make everyone to comply till the end, that s why am not scared" I replied
Jason decided to leave because there was no much thing left
Just as I finished locking the gate, I turned and behold the demon standing right there
"You are not even scared of appearing here" I said looking at her
"Am just here to know how the journey was"
"I will soon tell you that we aren t in the same world" I replied
"Are you sure that you will live to see that day?"
"We don t have much to say now, you have failed me as a friend" I said
"Who told you that demon and human can be friends?" She asked
"You accepted to be" I responded
"Anyways, I don t have your time" I concluded and walked pass her
"Better stop at the spot you are because it might be too late to go back" she said
I ignored her and walked in
The next thing that was in my mind was the leaf
??????
…. Jenny POV ??
I contacted COP Kelly immediately I left Dorothy s house
His first question was if I had gotten the information about where David was
I told him exactly what Dorothy told me
It was disappointing but I couldn t do anything either
??????
….. Victor POV ??
Sonia was making things difficult for me
The following day, I went to school very early and expected to see her but there was no sign of her
Soon, her friend, Caro arrived
I waited patiently for her to come inside
It was too early that there was no much student in the class
Caro walked straight to her seat and I didn t hesitate to meet her
"Hey" I said still standing
"Hey"
"Can I sit?" I asked
"Sure" she replied
I sat down and waited a little for the question to gather all
It was true that they were friends but I don t feel good speaking with Caro
"Sonia isn t in school and she is not picking up as well, do you know if she is fine?" I asked
"I will advise you to leave Sonia"
"Why did you say so?" I asked
"Sonia can t love you sincerely"
"Am just advising you" she added
I knew that it wasn t a good idea asking her but I didn t expect it to be that worst
"Okay, thanks" I said standing up
Maybe I would try going to her house early that day to avoid bumping into her mother
"Just advising you" Caro said
I didn t bother replying that as I walked straight to my seat
I had to maintain till the end of the class
After dismissal, I drove straight to Sonia s house
I horned while the gateman opened the gate
I drove straight into the compound and parked
Just as I got down from my car, the entrance door got opened and a guy with just singlet and boxer walked out from there
He looked older
I haven t seen him before but I had to maintain
I closed the door and walked over to the balcony which was where he was
"Hey dude" I said waving, with a smile on my face
"Welcome, please how may we help you?" He asked
"Actually, my name is Victor, I am Sonia s friend, so am here to check on her" I introduced myself
"Oh, actually, Sonia in question doesn t talk like before, I guess she is going under heartbreak" he said
I was surprised hearing that
"I hope you aren t responsible for it?" He added asking
My heart skipped a beat, I don t know why
"No o, I don t even know that such thing is going on"
"Please do you know what happened and don t be annoyed, who are you?" I asked
"Am Fred by name, Sonia s cousin, am just surprised seeing you her in that condition, I know her very well as a strong woman, she hasn t been in love before, I wondered what really happened" he replied
It was kinda relief but I would like to know what really happened
"Can I see her now?" I asked
"No, she refused opening her door, I will try and find out what happened, just come back tomorrow or so" he replied
"I want to trust you" I said
"Sure you can" he replied
There was nothing much left, I had to go
??????
. … Sonia POV ??
I was badly missing Victor but still, I couldn t pick up his call nor call back
I kept scrolling through the pictures in my phone
Caro forward it to me earlier
I dropped my phone on the bed and opened my cupboard
I took out his picture and hang it on a wall with a pin
I stood at the other edge of the room and used a small knife that was in my room
"Why me Victor" I said
I threw the knife towards the picture
It hits it and fell on the floor
I walked closer to where the knife fell and picked it up
My door got opened without knocking and I had to turn around
It was Fred standing there
Fred was my cousin
He loves and normally visit us during December period but this time around, they gave them vacation because of some misunderstanding in their area
He had to use the opportunity to visit us
He was also fun to be with
"You gotta be crazy, you don t knock" I said as if I was angry
"If I should seek for you to order me in, I know you will ask me to go back" he said closing the door from behind
"So, I have to make it this way" he added
"Am a lady for Christ sake" I said
"I know, I came in peace" he responded and sat on a chair in my room
I couldn t sit tho
"I thought you said that you were going out?" I asked because he said that earlier
"As I was getting prepared, one guy like that drove in"
On hearing that, my mind ran to Victor
"Is he still there?" I asked
"He s gone" he replied
I felt disappointed
"Why is it that men remain the same?" I asked as I finally sat on the bed
"How do you mean?" He asked
I collected my phone that I had dropped on the bed
I unlocked it and the first thing that appeared was those pictures
I stretched it out to him
He stood up because his chair was a little bit far from the bed
Soon, he started laughing
"So he is your boyfriend?" He asked
"Not really, but about to" I replied
"So, you think that he is cheating?" He asked and burst out laughing
"Is Mom even aware of this relationship?" He asked
"Stop joking around" I said with a serious face
"You ladies are just something else" he said still scrolling through those pictures
"Check very well, the lady in this picture looks helpless" he added
"Caro saw everything" I said
"So, she was the one who took this picture?"
"She must be up to something"
??????
….. David POV ??
I sat in my cave thinking about how my life has been
Dorothy doesn t come like before
Ever since she asked me about where Victor went to after leaving the school
I was really feeling lonely and depressed
I walked around my cave
"We are almost done" the demon said
I was already tired but I couldn t say it out because my voice seems gone
I could only roar
"We have the last hunting left" she added
I roared before jumping towards the main land
??????
….Mr Luke POV ??
I couldn t go to work anymore because of the invisible attackers
I don t really know who was after my life
I don t go out either and my house looks safer because they haven t attacked me at home
But staying at home wasn t best because I couldn t hide secret
I was really suspicious of Jason
.I didn t know what his plans were
COP Kelly told me that he has a plan and would like us to meet
He was coming to visit me but Jason seems not going anywhere as usual
There was some certain things that are meant to keep away from children
And COP Kelly didn t tell me what was actually the plan
So I didn t know if it was something that would let any third party
In order to make it possible for Jason not to be aware of that
I changed into something simple and walked out of the house
I told my gateman that I was going on a simple stroll
There was no point telling him but should in case someone comes for me
Not too far from the gate, I saw incredible
A monster with bloods running down his mouth
My eyes didn t go there when I walked out
Out of fear, I turned to run but he was fast enough to jump right before me
??????
….. COP Kelly POV ??
Lots of things to do
I decided to tell Mr Luke about David being Paul s son so that he would be able to contact his other gangs to help in checking on David s whereabout
I wouldn t want to tell him before coming because he might make mistakes in action before I arrive
I drove straight to his house
Just as I was getting closer, I sighted someone bending over to the other person who was already on the floor
The one on top doesn t really look like human being
His stature looks like that of monster David
I was getting closer and closer as I got the clear view of it
Mr Luke was the one on the floor
I held and instant blake bringing out my gun
The monster seems like he noticed that and shifted his ear to my direction
I wouldn t miss any opportunity
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
It was getting closer to afternoon
I had to leave for market
I took a cab direct to the market
In few minutes, I was done with what I wanted to use that afternoon
I took another cab back home
As we were going, I noticed a car following us because it took every direction we passed
I knew that no one will be able to harm me when I got to my area
Knowing how helpful they were when it comes to anything like that
We alighted before our gate and the car parked behind ours
I breath out before getting down
I paid the cab driver and he drove off
I stylishly went to the gate as I used my mind to calculate the movement of the other car
It got opened and I guessed, someone stepped down
I turned to look at the person
Unbelievable, it was foolish friend
"Dor-Dor, long time" Bonny said smiling
…..
….. Jason POV ??
I saw my Dad walking out of the compound
I decided to follow him, knowing that he was trying to avoid me, just for me not to know what him and COP Kelly was planning on
I waited for him to go out before I rushed downstairs
"What s going on?" The gateman asked when he saw me at the gate
"Where is my Dad going to?" I asked back
"He said that he was going on a stroll" he replied
"That s what am also after" I replied
"Okay, just that am surprised" he said while I killed it with a smile
I opened the gate to go out but I couldn t believe what I saw
David on his new transformation
His claw was already inside my father s stomach
The gate I opened, drew lots of attention
COP Kelly, who was pointing towards David
Then David, who looked surprised
I turned towards COP Kelly again and he shot directly at David without wasting time
But David was fast enough because he jumped out of the direction before the bullet get closer
I couldn t believe how he jumped, from his spot to the nearby bush
COP Kelly shot and ran after him
Meanwhile our gateman rushed out and pushed me, so that he could see what was happening
"Master" he said but I had rushed towards where my Dad was lying with his stomach pushing out some bloods
"Dad, please don t leave me" I said holding him up
"Let s carry him first" the gateman suggested
By then, COP Kelly was already back
I knew that he wouldn t be able to meet up with David, that s why I cared less about it
"This is also your fault" COP Kelly said squatting before my Dad
"This isn t time for that!" I shouted trying to carry up the body
COP Kelly and the gateman helped me and we carried him to where COP Kelly parked his car
The gateman who seems to have a free hand, opened the door and we managed to put my father in
At the passengers side
I entered there also while COP Kelly entered the driver side
??????
….. Bonny POV ??
It was a thing of joy to see Dor-Dor again
I couldn t stop smiling
"So you still have the mind to follow me to my house?"
"I come in peace" I responded raising up my hands
"It is better you don t show up here again" she warned
"How can you say that, I was the one you came all the way to Switzerland to look for" I said as Victor advised
Even though I didn t know what it actually was, I just had to comply
"Really?"
"You were at Switzerland?" She asked while I smiled
I think, the game was moving smooth
"Yes of course" I replied still smiling
"Stop flattering yourself, I went there to check on someone very important" she said
That word was heartbreaking but I had to maintain
"Who could that be?" I asked
Caring to know
"Better don t ask because I won t tell you" she said instead
"Anyways, as you can see, am just coming back from the market"
"So, better go back to where you are coming from" she added as she opened the gate
I didn t know if I should persuaded or not
I watched her walk inside the house
I breaths out heavily before turning
I placed Victor on call
I needed to know the truth
I entered the car and ignited the engine
I called but no answer
He picked when I tried it the second time
"Can you simply explain to me what is really going on?" I asked forming anger, as if he was close
"You can just tell me what happened before asking for that" he said instead
I explained to him what just happened
"How do you expect her to believe you when you guys aren t in good terms before you travelled"
"What are you trying to say?"
"The things you need to do is to keep pushing, use your intelligence" he replied
"So why don t you tell me why she visited, because I need to plan on how things will be, following that reason" I said
"I want to surprise you, just keep telling me how you guys are going" he said
I thought the next person I supposed to meet was Jason or Sam and Andy
??????
…. COP Kelly POV ??
We drove into the hospital and the nurses rushed towards our direction when they saw that the case wasn t as it seems to be
They rolled Mr Luke with the rolling table and rushed him into a room
Mr Luke wasn t supposed to die because we just need to plan on how to get rid of David first
If not, there would be danger afterwards
We were stopped on the way because we won t go inside the ward yet
Jason sat down on an available seat
I couldn t sit down due to thinking
"Have you seen it?"
"That same boy you are saving, tried killing your Dad" I added
"Let s not talk about this here, my father need to recover first" Jason said as if he was pissed off
Secondly was David s mother
I needed to know where Jason kept her
I have checked very well around the hospitals in the town but I couldn t find her
"So where exactly are you hiding his mother?"
"You are really unbelievable, how can you be picking up a family like that?" He returned the question
"David s mother has nothing to do with this, why are you after her as well?" He asked again
"She must have known something about this and kept it to herself, am doing my work Jason" I tried remembering him
"Well, unfortunately, I can t tell" he replied
I wouldn t blame him because Mr Luke was the reason
"Where is David?"
"Were you not the one that ran after him?" He returned the question
"Where is he staying? Where is he living?" I asked
"I don t even know, please I need to think" Jason said as he stood up and left the place
Still incredible, why would he be like that even after what happened to his father
??????
…. Jason POV ??
I didn t want anything that would stress my mind at that moment
If I should think about what COP Kelly was trying to say, I would go against my decision
The only thing left was for us to go and seal the Tomb before any other things
I was driving to the hospital when a careless driver drove and held an instant blake right before me
I had to do the same, without second thought
He parked right there
I angrily stepped down from my car
"Hey, you stupid driver!!" I shouted
I was determined to give him a punch with anger singing through my veins
I walked to where he parked, following driver s side
"It is your favorite stupid driver" he said as he opened the door, coming down from his car
"Bonny" I surprisedly called
Few minutes later, we were in a restaurant chatting about what has been happening so far
"So you mean David killed Sam and Andy?" He asked
"Yes, am surprised seeing you, I thought he must have come for you" I said remembering that he was the plan maker who did everything
"Immediately Dorothy broke up with me, I decided to go far away" he responded
"But what about Sam and Andy parents, as in what did they do?" He asked
"Police took in charge of it, it was a monster that devoured them" I replied
"So where have you been?" I asked just to skip any further questions concerning that
"Thanks to Victor, he gave me shelter" he replied
"So when is Victor coming?" I asked
"He won t be coming, he was actually the one that sent me here"
It was surprised hearing that
Why would he
"Why?" I asked to confirm it
"He said that I should just come and tell Dorothy that I was the one she came for" he replied
That statement alone was something else
"Who did she went to look for?" I asked because I was confused
"I don t even know, he didn t tell me" he replied
It was confusing
