Chapter 42 Behind bars

I knew that he was already against me
So I expected it, although I expected from Dorothy first
"Why? We have full rest here, you can t even imagine on how things are going in here, our body never got bad, as in smelling due to not bathing, it just looks as if they are bathing us invisibly"
"Everywhere looks so bright even in the day and in the night, we got food to eat and lots of things, so tell me why?" I asked
"Don t even think of it, have you forgotten the reason why we are here?" Dorothy asked
"Even those things we encountered on our way here, have you forgotten about it also?" Jason asked
Two against one
Bonny wasn t saying anything
Maybe because of Dorothy
"Remember, we are only planning to save the world because this demons will continue taking souls" Victor said
If only he knows what his future was, he wouldn t be saying that
"Let s do it and forget this place" Victor added
He was the only one who could convince me, and since he supported them, I had to take it that way
??????
…. Faith POV ??
The long awaited day has come
The queen mother and the other demon was present in my residence as we watched them through the big mirror there
They were discussing
"Don t spare any single soul because this team is very dangerous to our benefits" the queen mother said looking at them with anger
"Faith, just look for a sweet, convincing word that can push Jason to kill Victor"
"If you are able to kill him, then we will be there to destroy the rest" she added
"We need to make the death of Dorothy, to be very painful" the other demon said
"I think so because she has done a lot of damages to us" I replied
"Her birth is the greatest mistake of this days" the queen mother added
"How do we make it painful?" I asked
"When we are able to kill the rest, then we will start from her family" the queen mother replied
"That s what we would have done, long time before now" I said
"Mr Luke needs to pay for his crime, that s why I spare her family because they are the pillar to his downfall" Lucy, the demon said
Anytime she speaks, I always thought about what she told me the previous day
Am Lucy s daughter and her name is Lucy
How I got to exist was what I still don t know
"But Dorothy is not aware of it" Lucy added
It was really difficult
I wished she could just give me a tip on what really happened and how it happened
After some hours, which makes it afternoon
I got ready to go
"We are right behind you" Lucy said while I smiled nodding
"I hope it goes well because I can t afford to lose Jason" I said
"I will make it possible for you" she replied
I just wished that I have been with her, long time ago
I would have been better than I was
"Lucy, you know that you can easily get David, so you have to go for him while I go for Jason" the queen mother said
I guessed, it was left for them
I had to disappear and found myself in the room
They were already arranging for what so ever they had to do
I wanted to enter, but Victor s power was too much
It kept blocking me
I had to plan on something very fast
I turned to into my human body
Thanks to the queen mother
There was a bench close to where I was, so I intentionally hits my leg on it and I fell down
"Ouch!" I screamed
I knew that they heard it
I raised up my head with a look of being hurt
All of them were looking at me
"Oh my God, Faith!" Jason shouted, rushing to where I was
David wanted to run after him, in assistant
But Jenny held him back
I guessed, it was better because he would have spoiled everything
"Am sorry" Jason said as he helped me to stand up
"You are bleeding" he added as he assisted me to sit
I didn t know that my body was that fragile
I wouldn t had made it real
"Ouch" I said just as he touched the wound
"Don t worry, I will get you a first aid" he said and meant to walk out
But I held him back
"No, am just happy seeing you" I said
"Just do one thing for me and everything will be fine" I added
"Name it and consider it done" he replied
I couldn t stop smiling
"That guy with green top" I said pointing at Victor
"His name is Victor, what is the problem?" He asked
"His intention isn t good to what you guys are about to do" I started
"How do you mean?" He asked
I brought out an injection that would knock Victor out for close to 24hrs
"Just inject him with this and he will confess before everyone"I said
"His real intention" I added
He collected it and looked back at Victor
??????
…. Jason POV ??
I couldn t think straight but doubting Faith would be something else
I have been wishing that I can see her one day and I would say that
She might have come here for me knowing how important this journey was, to me
But another thing was how she got in there
Maybe, she might be among the destined ones
"So how do you know about this?" I asked
"My grandmother told me about what is happening now and she appeared in my dream last night and told me that today is the appointed day" she replied
Thinking about it, Victor later show up after rejecting to help
He might be here because of what Faith just said
I turned to look at them
Victor, David and Dorothy were looking at me
Bonny was also looking at me but he was always with food
Only Jenny was busy with what so ever she was doing
Dorothy seems to remember something because she rushed to where we kept the bags and began to search for something
I returned my face
"Give it to me" I said stretching out my hand
"Don t let any of them see it" she said while I nodded
I stood up and breaths out heavily
I just wish they would understand me after doing this
I started walking to where they were
Victor and David were just confused looking at me as I walk
My target was Victor
Just as I got closer to him, Dorothy from nowhere, rushed to stand before me
Blocking Victor as well
"We need to talk now" she said
I wanted to tell her to wait but she ignored me and drew me to a place, little bit far from where both Faith and Victor were
"We don t have time, what are you doing?" She asked
"You stopped hiding some important things from me, so I will not like to betray you on that" I said
"She told me that Victor is up to something and I need to inject this in his body, for him to tell us the truth" I added
"What could that be?" She asked
"I don t really know but she said that it will make our effort to be in vain" I replied
She looked at Faith and she was just looking at her wound
She turned to look at Victor
He was just confused because he doesn t understand what was happening
"I can see demon within her" Dorothy said
Forcing me to look at Faith
It could be true, since Dorothy was able to see demons
"And I think, that s what is controlling her" she added
"Is she really a demon?" I asked
I wouldn t afford to lose her again
That was the third time we were meeting
"She isn t safe but her life is in your hand" she said instead
"You are making it worst because am confused here" I had to tell her the truth
I was really confused
"Do you love her?" She asked
"Yes, I sincerely do" I replied
"In case if you don t know, she isn t in her rightful sense, she is being under control of a demon and she doesn t know what she is doing" she said
"Take this" she added stretching out her hand
"This is TP gum and she needs to take it now before we start sealing the Tomb" she said
"if not, you will have to lose her forever" she added
"How can I convince her to take it?" I asked
"If she was able to convince you, you need to try your best to convince her as well" she replied
I turned to take a look at Faith again
Her beautiful face was always innocent
"Note" Dorothy said and I turned to face her
"She will fall unconscious until after the sealing of the Tomb" she added
I was becoming a little scared but I had to trust her
I handed the injection over to her
"Am trusting you" I said before walking out
I went straight to Faith with the thought of what I would tell her that would be convincing
"I gave it to her to inject him" I lied as I sat beside her
"Do you trust her?" She asked
"She has proven beyond doubt, so I had to" I replied
"I think, this will ease the pain you are passing through" I said giving her the so called TP gum and she collected it
"This looks like TP gum" she said
I guessed, she knows very well about it
"Seems like you really know it? What is the work?" I asked
She didn t expect the question because her expression shows it
"Don t lie to me" I added
"I heard that it takes away what you have in you" she replied
Looking into that, I think Dorothy was right
Full trust
"Then, I think it will take away the pain" I said while she nodded
??????
…. David POV ??
Dorothy walked back to where we were sitting, after she must have done with Jason
"Hope everything is alright?" I asked
"Totally fine, just that she was sent to stop Victor" she replied
"Really?" I asked
"Yes, but his power is too strong that she couldn t come closer" she replied
"Excess power" I said while we laughed a little
"She gave him this injection with a lie that Victor is up to something and it will affect our effort, and if he injected this in his body, Victor will have to tell us the truth" she replied
"Let me see" I requested and collected it from her
"Let me show you the difference between a medical student and any other students" I said as I began to examine it
"The liquid looks familiar, I think it will knock him out for 24hrs" I replied
How I got the idea, I don t know but I found it coming out from my mouth
"Medical student indeed" Victor said
"I think you are right because if he should inject you with this, you will have to sleep, giving them chance to come into our midst" Dorothy responded
It was totally true
We were still discussing, when Jason ran to us
"Dorothy" he called and he looks so scared
My mind ran to the girl he was with
I turned towards that direction and saw her lying flat on the bench
"She is already down, are you sure she won t die?" He asked really scared
"She won t, the only thing that is weak in her now is the demon not her body" Dorothy replied
That means the girl was possessed
"Is it not yet time?" Jason asked
He was really scared even after the explanation
"Oh, almost off" Victor said
"It is time Jenny!" Dorothy shouted
As for Jenny, only God knows what she was doing
"Oh, true, let s get to it guys" she sounded cheerful
We all got prepared except Bonny because Jenny said that he wasn t useful at that point
"David" Jenny called and I turned to look at her
"Be at the left hand side but face the little pulpit with your shirt off" she added
I removed my cloth and Jason was just surprised, looking at my chest
I walked straight to the small pulpit at the left hand side
"Jason" she called
"Remove your shirt and stand at the right hand side of the alter but you have to be facing us" she added
Jason did the same thing
His shoulder also have the same thing that was on my chest
Incredible
"Dorothy and Victor, do the rite" she instructed
??????
Victor POV ??
I knew that it was time and I was ready to save the world with my own life
I took out my bag and brought out the stuffs I needed
"Always use the red and black color in everything" I remembered Mr Patrick s word
I knew that I was going to meet him
Our future was just something different
I walked to the center of the alter
I tied the red rope on the right hand side and black one at the left hand side
I mixed up the wine I had with me
I poured it on the alter
Dorothy came with her own wine and did the same
"Victor" Jenny called and I turned to her
"Stand at the right hand side" she added
I did
"Dorothy" she called and Dorothy turned to her direction
"Stand at the left hand side" she added and Dorothy did so
We were close to each other, if not for the little space that pulpit took, in-between us
"I just hope there could be another way out" Dorothy said
"Seems like you already know the future?" I indirectly asked
"My Uncle told me when we were about to go, that s why I didn t blame you but I was surprised seeing you again" she replied while I smiled
"Your Uncle really tried, I wish I could see him before going" I said
"Am really sorry about this" she said
"You don t have to be, because that s what the future holds" I responded
"Just try and make David Happy because he needs to, after the whole suffering and I can tell that you really love him" I said smiling
She turned to look at David but his eyes were closed
Even Jason
"It is time guys" Jenny said
"Jason and David, place your hands on the small pulpit before you" she said
"Dorothy and Victor, place your hands on the pulpit" she added
We placed our hand on it and I could see some sparks coming out from the center of the pulpit
Jason and David began to scream
I turned to look and saw that the eyes on their shoulder and chest, were rotating
It starts sparking
A stray of light came out from David s chest
Another one from Jason s shoulder
They both connected to the small pulpit that was in the center
It went up and something that looks like a bigger pulpit, appeared at the end of the room but it was on the higher position than the one we were on
There was a stair connected to it
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
Just as the last pulpit formed at the end of the room, behind the small alter
There was something that started coming out from Victor s body
I guessed, it was his power
It was going straight to that bigger pulpit
"He was loosing it" I thought
Not that surprising because it was clear that the reason why he has it was what was happening
Which means it will no longer be useful
"Wow, it looks like a movie" I heard Bonny saying
When it was clear that the whole power has left Victor s body,
Different and lots of demons started flying inside the room
I was becoming a little scared when I saw the so called queen mother flying inside, including the demon that was disturbing David
The one that was inside Faith, also flew out of her body
Scared was what I had in me then because Victor has lost the gift but it was a relief when they started flying inside a little door that was made on the bigger pulpit
"Victor" I heard Jenny said
"I know, I will have to sacrifice myself" Victor responded
"What? Are you stupid?" Bonny shouted
Even in his lost of mind, he still feels like human
"Wait, let me understand this, are you going for real, as in forever?" He asked
"Yes, I have to" Victor replied
"Maybe the future really want me to be with Zita" he added
"What? What about Sonia and your parents?" Bonny asked
Tears couldn t stop flowing down from my eyes
Jason and David seems to have lost themselves because their eyes were closed and they couldn t say anything
"Just tell Sonia that I truly love her, even though she started acting strange but tell her that I sincerely love her" Victor said
"Tell my parents that am really sorry, destiny is destiny"
"Sometimes, we don t have to choose only for ourselves but for the sake of the whole world" Victor added
His words were really making sense
"There could be a way out of this" Bonny said
"I don t think" Victor replied
"The lights are fading away and it will be dangerous" Jenny said
I don t even want to think about her because she was always evil
Victor walked to the top and turned to face us
"I love you all guys, just remembered today" he said spreading out his hands as tears began to drop from his eyes
"Victor!!!!" Bonny screamed as the spark increases
The light deem out really big and went off as the door got closed and disappeared
Smoke took over everywhere
"Victor is really gone ?" I cried
…..
…. Sonia POV ??
We were losing patient and had to give the information to every single person we know
Victor s mother even uploaded it on net
Not too long after uploading it, we were in the living room hoping to get a message
Even though that Victor s mother hides it from her husband but uploading it will surely attract him
Later, she got a call from unknown number
She picked it up and places it on the loud speaker
It was a female voice
"Good afternoon, I saw your update" the female voice said
"Do you have any idea?" Victor s mother asked
"I don t have the full details but am aware that you know COP Kelly" she said
"Yes, he has been my favorite policeman" Victor s mother replied
"Better, just call him and he will give you every detail"
"Look for a better way to ask him" the caller added
"How do you know and who are you?" Victor s mother asked
"I wonder if it is this question that is important or the information" the caller said instead and hung up
Victor s mother didn t hesitate to call COP Kelly
She told him what we were after
"When did he get missing?" COP Kelly had asked
"Close to six days now" Victor s mother replied
"Do you know his friends? His school and his girlfriend?" He asked
"He isn t schooling here anymore but I can remember one of his friends" Victor s mother replied
"Jenny was her name" she added
"Really? I will get back to you" he responded and hung up
After some minutes, Victor mother s phone began to ring
It was COP Kelly
"I am in the location where he is" COP Kelly said
"Where?" Victor s mother asked standing up from where she was sitting
"I don t know how to direct because I haven t been here before" he replied
"Okay,, please watch over Victor for me" Victor s mother said before hanging up
"What is next?" I asked
"Nothing but to track down the location" she replied
??????
…. COP Kelly POV ??
I was outside, watching the building as lots of smokes were going inside it
I also felt some ghosts being drew with a great force
I guessed, they have started what they came to do
It was time and I had to get ready
"Wow, I knew that thing like this will happen one day" I heard someone saying from behind
I turned and it happened to be that same old man I saw when I came there before
I didn t say anything because I was just wondering what he could be up to
"This was my favorite but it suddenly turned into this" he added
"Hope you aren t evil?" he asked as he turned to look at me
"What are you talking about?" I returned the question
"This river will be taking evil ones, when disappearing" he replied and I became scared
I didn t want to die then
"Unless it decided not to take the person but that person s life will be numbered" he added
"How will it take that person?" I asked because I didn t want to disgrace myself
"The person has to disappear along with it" he replied
The whole thing looks like he was actually talking about me
"Strange" I said
Just then, lots of people started walking down to where we were
Where they came from was what I couldn t tell
I wondered if I would be able to carry out what I planned to do
"Are you guys done?" I texted Jenny
"On the last stage" she replied
I had hope
Soon, a car with a great speed, drove to the location
For long, there was no sound of a car until that time
I turned to know who that would be
It was Victor s mother
I actually lied to them about not knowing how to direct, just because I didn t want want them to be in the place when am taking the action
"Wow, the river is getting dry" one of those people there, said
It was true
And it was making a little noise while going
??????
….. David POV ??
The smoke was too much because we couldn t stop coughing
"Jenny, what s the solution for this smoke?" I asked but I got no response
Soon, the smoke began to clear off
I started looking around
Likewise everyone but Jenny was nowhere to be found
"Where is Jenny?" I asked again
"Even Bonny" Dorothy said
They were gone
Even with the book
"What is really going on?" I asked
"How could they got missing, just like that?" I added
Someone coughed from far
We all turned to that direction
"Oh Faith is awake" Jason said rushing to where she was lying and was trying to get up
Me and Dorothy followed him
He helped the so called Faith to sit properly
"Are you alright?" Jason asked
"I feel like human being now" Faith said
"Dorothy, can it be that she is completely human now?" Jason asked looking at Dorothy
"Yes" Dorothy replied
"I think you can tell better, Faith" Dorothy added walking closer to her
"Yes, am feeling like human" Faith replied
"Am not talking about that because am already sure of that" Dorothy said
"So, what are you talking about?" Faith asked
"Jenny is missing, even Bonny, do you have any idea about it?"; Dorothy asked
While Faith gasped
"The queen mother must have taken her instead of Victor" Faith replied
"What?" Jason asked
"Instead of Victor?" I asked as I turned towards the alter
I didn t know that Jason was thinking exactly as I was
Because we ran towards that direction
Just as we got there, we saw Victor lying flat on the floor
"Victor!" I shouted and squatted before him
I was about to shake him when he coughed
Sitting up
"Victor" I called
"Why am I still here?" He asked
I couldn t control it that I had to give him a manly hug
Just then, the house began to shake
??????
…. Fred POV ??
Sonia s mother has left to Paris for her daughter
Sonia didn t hide where she was from her mother
She also told her her intention
Knowing fully well that her mother would take it to the next level if she tried playing with her
Sonia s mother has to left, leaving me alone in their house
Although I wanted to go with her but she refused, because she didn t know how long it would take
And exam was around the corner
I was in the balcony taking some fresh air when Caro walked in, after knocking on the gate
Just as I saw her, I remembered everything that has been happening because of her
"Hey" she said waving at me
"What are you doing here?" I asked instead of responding
"Is Sonia around?" She asked
"No" I replied
"See the kind of friend my cousin is keeping, for how many days now, you are just asking for her"; I added
"Don t insult me please" she said
"I don t really have your time"
"Just go" I added
"Why are you so rude?"
"Just tell me where she is" she added
"She is at Paris" I replied
Just as she was about to say something, she disappeared
I couldn t believe what just happened
"Is she a ghost?" I asked no one to reply
??????
…. Jenny POV ??
I found myself in no man s sky
I was floating on the air
I couldn t remember how I found myself there
Just then, an old woman with the ugliest face appeared before me
"Welcome, my daughter" she said
"Who are you and who is your daughter?" I asked really irritated
"Am the queen mother, welcome to the land of dead" she replied
"Land of dead? But am not yet dead" I said
"You are, but not normal death" she responded
"I thought Victor is the destined one not me" I said
"Yes but Victor s power was still strong and we must use human being to seal the Tomb" she responded
"What are you talking about, I can t just die" I said already in tears
"It is too late" she responded
