Chapter 38 Sell bill
Who I needed to see to see was doctor Henry
??????
…. Jason POV ??
It was a relief seeing Victor in our mist
"Am I late guys?" He asked again because everyone were just surprised seeing him
"Not at all my paddy" Bonny said from where he was lying
"Bonny" Victor said as he rushed to where he was
The arrow has been removed, long time ago
"What happened?" Victor asked looking at him
"They said that it is fate" Bonny replied
"Which fate?"
"I don t know"
We were just watching them as if they were making a show
Victor stood up and turned to face us
"Is he going to die?" Victor asked no one in particular
"I think he won t die because there is something my Uncle told me about" Dorothy replied
"Once he takes it, he will be able to live for four days" Dorothy added
"So, who is the leader here? As in how do we know what to do and when to do it?" Victor asked
"This book" Jenny replied showing him the book
"It tells us what to do" she added
", I have seen that book before but I couldn t read it, except the part that bears my fate" Victor said
"So do you still have it with you?" Dorothy asked
"Not at all, it disappeared immediately I got ready for this" Victor replied
"but according to the book, is he going to die?" He added asking
"I couldn t see anything related to that" Jenny replied
"Don t worry, he won t die" Dorothy said
"I believe you Dor-Dor" Bonny said
"Am still worried about how you get in here" Jenny said
Switching the conversation
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
Immediately Jenny switched the conversation, I just waved it off knowing that she isn t what I thought she was
"Am just like a spirit" Victor said while everybody laughed
"Be serious" Jenny said
"Actually, Mr Patrick has taught me a lot, he knows about this whole thing and also gave me some clue"
"He said that this place isn t somewhere ordinary,
"So when ever you get in here, you automatically become something else"
"He said that once you guys opened it, it won t be hard for me to open it after when it must have closed, that s why I didn t bother meeting up with you guys earlier" he explained while I nodded
I felt bad for Mr Patrick and Victor will have to face he s
"That s really interesting" Jenny said
I didn t know why Jason hasn t said anything
"Is like an forgetting something" Victor
"What?" I asked
"David"
"That s him" I responded pointing at David
"Him? Why is he looking like a beast?" Victor asked
"That s what the demon turned him into" I replied
"That means, he is possessed now?" He asked
"Yes"
"But why is he not making any move?" Victor asked
"I gave him something that would keep him like this until we reach there" I replied
"I hope you know that he can t do this in this situation?" Victor asked
"Yes, I have been hoping for your arrival" Dorothy replied
"Do you have the dessolving one?" He asked
"Yes"
"Bring it" he said
"What?! He will eat us all!" Jenny shouted
I ignored her and went to the bag
"Don t be afraid, am here" Victor said
I brought it out and walked to where David was lying
"Am not going to be here" Jenny said rushing to the other edge
"Are you ready?" I asked referring to Victor who was just watching
"Yes" he responded
I took one shot of the drink and dropped it into David s mouth
The drink was fast in working, because he made a move with roar, accompanying it
He jumped up but Victor was fast enough to hold him on his shoulder
I could see the demon screaming as she bumped out from David body
Another two demons appeared from nowhere but the power in Victor s body, pushed them away
I couldn t believe it
She screamed as she disappeared
I couldn t stop smiling, to see David back to his normal body
??????
….. David POV ??
It was just like a miracle as I watched the demon disappeared immediately she got out from my body
I felt weak and fell down
"David!" Dorothy shouted as she rushed to me
She managed to raise me up
My stomach was really hurting me
"Dorothy" I called with a low voice
"Thank God you are back" she said
"Won t she come back again?" I asked, to be sure
"As long as am here, she won t" Victor replied
"Victor" I called
"Thank you" I added
My stomach made a dangerous noise that Dorothy heard it
"You are really hungry, you need to sit" Dorothy said as she helped me to stand up
She sat me down on one of the bench and went over to where they kept the bags
Jason was standing, without saying anything, I didn t know if he was still angry with me or not
Jenny was at the other end of the building but was walking closer to us
Bonny was lying down on another bench
He has a wound on his stomach but I needed to get down something first
Soon, Dorothy walked back to me with a food
"Is like I felt it, that s why I reserved this food" she said
"What left there are snacks" she added
"Thanks" I responded collecting the food but my hands were strong enough to hold the plate
"Your hands aren t strong yet, Don t worry, I will feed you" Dorothy said collecting the food back
I was just looking at her as she took one full spoon and raised it up before my face
"Am not a baby" I tried playing
"Is like this hunger isn t serious yet" she said looking at the plate and tried taking down her hand
But I held it and pushed the food into my mouth
"So irritating" Jenny said and hissed
I wondered what was going on
She walked to a different bench and sat
Victor and Jason who has been standing, sat as well
"Is there any problem?" I asked Dorothy
"No, just that she is tired" Dorothy replied
I shrugged and continued eating
"Seems like you have forgiven me" I said as if I asked
"I have told you, unless Zita become happy where ever she is" she replied
I remembered her again
It was really sad that she was gone
"But…." I meant to say but she cuts me short
"Just keep calm and eat up, you aren t stable yet" she said while I managed to force out a smile
??????
…..Victor POV ??
Still at that spot
After some minutes, everyone was already sleeping except me
They spread some clothes on the floor and thick bedsheets for all of them
I stood up from the floor and went to sit on the bench
I couldn t take off my mind from Sonia
I hoped she was fine
I thought that the reason why she suddenly became like that was because of what fate has for me
I thought, they needed me to be with Zita
Since it becomes like that, I decided to accept the fate
Even though I have decided to do that but in a surprising way earlier
I began to calculate how it would go
It was already day one, remaining four days
I wished there could be a way to meet my parents once more
Even though I visited them before joining Dorothy, but I was already missing them
They aren t aware of what was actually going on
I only told them that I was traveling and will be back if the trip ends
That was all I could think at that moment
I was lost in thought that I didn t notice when someone sat beside me
I got back to life when he tapped me
It was almighty Jason
"Still awake" he said but I ignored him
"Are you still angry with me?" He asked
I wasn t really angry because I have known what really happened
"Am not, I would have punched you immediately I came here" I replied returned my look to the front
"I guess, Dorothy must have told you what really happened" he said
"Let s forget about the past and focus on the future" I said even though he didn t know how heavy my heart was
"Am just wondering why Andy and Sam aren t here with you guys?" I indirectly asked because in our group, we normally go anywhere together
"They are dead" Jason replied
"What?! What happened?" I asked surprisedly
"They were killed by David when we were trying to get the truth about him" he replied
I couldn t believe what I was hearing
That means the killing was too much
??????
…. Doc Henry POV ??
Things were just trying to be difficult for me
Since Mr Williams was gone, I have been trying so many ways to get any evidence that would be useful
Even Mrs Paul wasn t aware of the things that have happened so far
As in she wasn t aware of Mr Luke and Officer Kelly who turned to be COP Kelly
The following day, which made it two days since Jason didn t show up in the hospital
I got a call from Doc Sammy who has been updating me concerning COP Kelly s searching, for me
He told me how he lied to him about me going on live
It was very thoughtful of him
I was informed that my attention was needed in one of the rooms
So I had to rush
I walked out of my office and straight to the ward
In few minutes later, I was done
I was able to save the life
As I walked out of the ward, I sighted Mrs Paul walking towards the entrance
I wondered where she was going to
If she knew that I was trying to protect her with the lies I fed her with, she wouldn t be risking it like that
I had to rush before she goes out or COP Kelly might possibly see her
"Mrs Paul" I called and she turned to look at me
"Oh doctor Henry" she responded
"Where are you going to?" I asked
"Jason hasn t been here since yesterday and the food he bought for me, got finished last night"
"So I want to go and buy some food" she replied
"Oh no, you would have told me"
"Just go inside, I will get you something to eat" I said
"But am fit, I don t know why you insisted that I remains here when my body is back to normal" she said
"You won t understand, but trust me, you still need to stay here for some time" I responded
"I need to go now, please go inside" I added
I drove straight to the nearby restaurant
??????
…. COP Kelly POV ??
I was on my way to the office when my car tyre bumped into a sharp object that suddenly turned it into flat
The area was somehow lonely and wasn t safe
From the look of things
I called my personal mechanic and gave him the direction of where I was
I gave him every single information concerning what happened to the car, so that he could come with everything necessary for it
I couldn t kill myself, so I went inside the car and turned on the engine
I turned on the AC and before I knew it, I dozed off
In my dream, I saw Paul laughing at me
I don t know what it meant
A knock on the windscreen woke me up
It was the mechanic
A car drove by and parked
Not too far from where I parked mine
Since the mechanic was there, I got nothing to fear about
I got down from my car and looked at the other car
The driver actually parked, just to urinate
I smiled to my fear
"Don t worry sir, I will fix it now" the mechanic said
"No problem"I responded as I looked at where the other driver was
Just as I was about to return my face,
Something caught my eye
I couldn t believe it
The driver was actually, doctor Henry that I had been looking for
But it was already late before he entered his car immediately and drove off
I just had to take down the plate number
…..
….. Dorothy POV ??
It was already day two
We still have additional three more days to go with
I woke up before the rest
My right hand side was David and he was sleeping peacefully
I guessed, he never slept like that ever since he was totally possessed
Others were sleeping in different directions
I stood up and went to sit on the bench
Staying inside that building was no difference from being outside
For those that uses phone, they said that network was good
I began to think on how things will be
The door which was what we were supposed to open next
My Uncle didn t tell me anything about it and I knew that Jenny wasn t ready to do so
I wasn t ready to loose anyone yet
As I was still in thought, Jenny s phone began to ring
I wanted to ignore it but remembering how she normally operate it and also what Jason said about not trusting her
I decided to check who the caller was
Just as I got closer to her, she opened her eyes
"What?" She asked knowing that I was actually coming for her phone
"Nothing"
"Ooohh, who is disturbing this peaceful sleep with that phone?" David asked rolling himself on the clothes which was spread on the floor
Silent took over everywhere
Jenny couldn t take off her eyes from me
I swallowed my saliva and withdrew back
I turned to walk to where I was sitting
I saw Jason looking at us
"We get to move guys!" Victor shouted after some minutes
David was still sleeping
I couldn t stop smiling when ever I looked at him
Others were awake except him
"David" Jason called, tapping him well
"This is sleep, you don t wake people from it" David said while everyone laughed except no other person but Jenny
"You better stand up there because we are only helping you" Jenny said and that made David to sat down
"I haven t slept for days" David said as he stood up
"But you been sleeping before I arrived" Victor said
"That s not sleep, it is knocking out" David replied
"Thanks to Dorothy" he added while we laughed again
"Dor-Dor, not Dorothy" Bonny said smiling
"We don t have time guys" Jenny said as she took the book
Interrupting everyone
"Let s have breakfast first" Jason suggested
I walked to the bag where we parked the snacks and drinks
I started sharing it, to the reach of everyone
"Are we suppose to be eating snacks for the rest of four days?" Jenny asked
"Carrying food will be waste because we don t have light to warm it" I replied
"Unbelievable" she said before looking away
After some minutes, we were done and good to go
It was lighter because everyone has to carry something
Jason helped Bonny to walk
We got to the door and stopped as we waited for Jenny to say what next
It was a very big door, just like the entrance one
"Better say everything that will happen after opening this one" Jason said
??????
….. Jenny POV ??
I had to maintain my cool self when Jason made that statement
I opened the book and waited for what it would write
Everything appeared once
"David, touch that button" I said, according to what I saw there
They all looked at me first
"It won t just open like that" I added before David touched it
It was just a black button
Just as he touched it, the door made a move and it started making a hole with different colors
Before me was a black color
Before David was a deep blue color
Before Dorothy was pink color
Before Jason was light blue color
Before Victor was yellow color
Only Bonny had nothing before him
"Everyone needs to stand on his or her own" I said as was written
"Can you?" Jason asked, referring to Bonny
"Yes, I can stand for Dor-Dor" Bonny replied
"Can you just stop playing around" Dorothy said almost laughing
I was just watching David who couldn t take off his eyes from them
I just had to smile
"Let s stretch out our hands" I instructed as everyone did so
Diamonds appeared on our hands
In color of what show before us, respectively
"Put it inside the hole, but we have to do it together" I instructed and we did it
The door began to open, gently
When it was done opening, before us was another river and three canoes ?
The book burnt the already used parts
I had to read what appeared next
"This river is dangerous" I read
"You don t make mistake of touching it when you get inside the canoe but once we get inside the canoe, everyone will become thirsty and it will require a drop of blood to stop it" I added
"We have waters in the bottle" Dorothy said
"It will dry them all" I replied
And that was what I saw
"We can adapt to it because it is close" Jason said
"This river is just as the same thing as the one before the entrance, close to eye but far to reach" I responded and that was true
"The drop of blood is just someone s finger, that is, the person have to put it inside the water and it will gone forever" I added as everyone gasped
"Too dangerous" David said but I didn t say anything
"Those canoes contains only two people each, it was supposed to be that I will ride one but we are already six, instead of five" I said
I needed space tho
"I will stay with Dor-Dor" Bonny said
"Eeh" David didn t know when it comes out from his mouth
"I think, it is time to settle differences, so am going with Victor" Bonny said
It was then left with me and David
"Oh no" I said as I rushed to the canoe but it didn t make any move
I checked the book again and it can t move without us being completed
Damn!
??????
…. COP Kelly POV ??
After when my car was back in order, I paid the mechanic and drove off
It would be fun because another work was about to start
I got to my office and began to trace that plate number
After some minutes,
I was able to get a little clue about it
It was a special plate number of a hospital
Talking about the hospital, it was one of the poorest hospital in the town
I wondered how he got himself there because his qualifications was beyond that
I once saw Jason driving along that side but I couldn t figure out what he was actually doing there
It was useful
I thought for a while before running out of my office
I got inside the car and drove off to the hospital
It wasn t really far
In some minutes, I was there
I thought for a while before stepping out of my car
I asked the nurses about him and they asked me to wait for him because he was attending to a patient
I waited for close to 30mins before he walked out
"Yes, doctor, he is there" one of the nurses said, pointing at me
I guessed he asked them if someone was looking for him
Just as he saw me, he was shocked but I had to use a smile to kill it
"You can come in" he said as he headed to his office while I followed him
"Long time doctor Henry" I said, immediately I got inside his office
There was a file on his desk and that was the same file he walked out with
It looks suspicious because the face of whom I saw there was familiar
It looks like David s mother face
"I thought we were done with our business?" He asked as he turned to face me
He noticed that I was looking at the file, he took it and dropped it below the desk
I had to maintain
"Even if we were done, I still have the choice of visiting my friend" I responded
"We aren t friends, remember" he said
"That s rude"
"What do you actually want because am sure that you are up to something?" He asked while I smiled
"Can t we play a little before getting to the business?" I asked still smiling
"Am working, in case if you have forgotten" he said
"Am aware of it but I chose to play a little"
"You better go straight to the point because you don t know who might be waiting for me" he said
"Okay" I responded
"About Mrs Paul" I added
I could see that he was shocked
"What about her?" He asked
"I paid you off to kill her and her unborn child but I just discovered that she is still alive"
"And I discovered that she still have a son with her"
??????
….. Doc Henry POV ??
I was actually coming out from Mrs Paul ward when I heard that someone was looking for it
I already knew that he would come
So when he talked about Mrs Paul and David, I just needed to cook for a better lie for him
"Talking about Mrs Paul, I couldn t kill her because she ran away" I started with my lies
"If you have seen her before, you could tell that her husband was no longer Paul"
"I suspected that, but what really happened?" He asked
I guessed the story was really cool
"I was able to kill her child but she ran away"
"Luckily for me, she didn t see my face because she also came to me to adopt that son you are seeing or hearing about" I added
Isn t that a sweet lie?
"So do you know where she is?" He asked
How could he even think of asking me that question
"No, and I didn t bother asking for her because it might be dangerous" I lied
Meanwhile am with her already
I just wished Mrs Paul doesn t come out at that point because that would be a great mistake
"Am confused here, what about Paul?" He asked
"Paul died out of heart attack, when he heard about the death of his son" I lied again
That was all I needed
"So Mrs Paul got married to the man you saw her with" I added
"The man is actually dead" he said
??????
…. Victor POV ??
If I say that I didn t notice something about Jenny, that means I was lying
Jenny has totally changed
The David she claims to love was the same David he was avoiding
We all got inside the canoe and it began to rode by itself
Lots of strange thing
The three canoes couldn t come closer to themselves
Even when someone says something, you won t be able to hear it unless you guys are in the same canoe
"Why do you make it this way, knowing that Jenny is now a change person?" I asked Jason
"She claims to love David, but she is against him now, so that s why I said time to settle differences" he replied while I smiled
"But why is she behaving like that?" I asked
"I got to notice that she isn t who she appeared to be" he replied
"She must have been claiming" he added
"So, you think that by doing this, she might change her mind?" I asked
"I just want to try the luck" he replied
"You still don t know Jenny that much , she can never change her mind, not just like that" I said because that was Jenny for you
"My own mind is for us to do this first, I still have much deal to go with David" he said
"What could it be, I thought it was because of Jenny that you wanted to deal with him?" I asked
"He has taken lots of souls from my family" he replied
"You are saying this as if it was his fault"
"Just imagine yourself in his shoes, he can t even control it" I said
"Am damn thirsty here" he suddenly complained
"Everyone, I wondered how it got to dry the ones we have in the water bottle?" I asked
??????
…. Bonny POV ??
I couldn t stop looking at Dor-Dor, even though her mind wasn t fully there
"Dor-Dor" I called as she looked at me
"You haven t told me that you love me" I said smiling
"Just stop, thirsty is just killing me" she complained
I was also thirsty but a man will always be a man
"Maybe because you haven t love me back" I teased
"your love wasn t pure" she said
"It was, I don t even know what I did wrong" I indirectly asked
"Why did you kidnap David?" She asked
That means she was aware of it
"He was acting strange and Jason needed to confirm it" I replied
"Maybe that s why it became worst" she said
"But you were angry before then" I said because that was true
She broke up with me before I decided to kidnap David
"I was only testing you" she replied
I couldn t believe that I missed that opportunity
I was dumbfounded immediately
"I can tell that David is really thirsty" Dorothy said and couldn t take off her eyes from him
"It will only take one finger and nothing else" she added
"But it is not comfortable" I said
"I can t stand to watch him like that, he might not survive it" she said as she meant to put her hand inside the river but I held her on time
"I can t let you do this" I said
It is not that I was sure if I would make it alive or not but since my life was already half
"Just promise to be happy" I said holding her
