Her funeral

He parked the car and came out. Went round and opened the door for her to come out. She hid her hands behind her hoodie as she came out. Her hands were dark, and the veins were prodding. She doesn’t want anybody to see it and then gets frightened.
Dixon stare at her hands and sighed. He went back into the car and searched through it. He returned shortly with a hand glove.
He took her hands off the spot she was hiding them and wore her the hand gloves.
“This is better. Let’s go.”

She smiled. As he intertwined her fingers.
“Don’t be scared I’m right here.”
“I’ve been here before. It’s too crowded out here.”
“You’ll be fine.”
“What if I..”

“Ssh! Nothing would go wrong. Now come let’s book a movie.”
Anika came out of her hidings. She scoffed when she saw them got in. She was right. She would see her here. It was the fourth day anyway. Her movement would be predictable. So this was the man holding her. Her was the one saving her else she would have been a dead meat. A long time ago. She chuckled.
“What is this?”
“She found love. With who? A weak human boy.”
How would this last. Another tragic ending.
She clicked her tongue.
Tomorrow was the third day.
Her day, her plan was all set all she needs to do is to meet the devil herself.
She would willing come to her. And she would help her end the life that has been miserable for her but she couldn’t do that if that boy is alive. Roy would take care of him while she was gone.
Her end was very near.

Maeve watched Dixon sleeps. Staring at his face caressing it with her fingers. He stirred and looked at her with a smile, though still sleepy.
“Ain’t you asleep yet. Come lay beside me.”
“Ain’t sleepy yet. I’ll join you soon though. I had to go somewhere first.”
“Where to? It’s late already.”
“I’ll be fine. And it would be a quick meeting.”
“Humm. Don’t stay out too late, it would be too cold without you In here.” He closed his eyes again and slept off. She chuckled and brought her head down and kissed his lips.
A day was gone.

Third day it was. And she’ll leave your sight.
Don’t cry too much, and don’t forget her. That’s all she ever gonna ask.
Standing up from the bed, she opened the door of the room and stepped out of it. Then shut it quietly behind her. She could feel the presence around her. Around the house. Someone was here. Someone with a dark spirit and a bad intent.
Eamon was laying on the couch fast asleep and snoring so loud. His snoring was irritating to her, it was too loud and disturbing,she groaned and snapped her fingers together. He fell from the couch, hitting his face on the ground. He lay there and continue sleeping without moving an inch.
Maeve shook her head at him. She tried opening the door so it doesn’t sound so loud. Green was sensitive to sounds. At every slightest sound he’s awake. Reasons he and Eamon was always at each other throats. And at night he tries as much as possible to sleep far away from Eamon. She had troubled him too much. That he had to stay with them. Just to make sure she’s alive.
“Where are you off too?”

“Green?”
He held a cup of coffee, which was still hot.
“You ain’t asleep?”
“Not yet. Doing some research.” He stare at Eamon on the ground and shook his head disapprovingly.
“When is he gonna go back.”
“I don’t think he would ever go back. It’s a good think he’s here with Dixon. He’s gonna keep him company when I’m gone.”
He bracketed shoulders.
“Stop saying that. You ain’t going anywhere.”
“We can’t keep deceiving ourselves, I’ll go out shortly and return as quick as possible. I need some air. And you’re gonna let me out ain’t you?”
“You should take some air. I can’t hold you back. I know it’s suffocating in here. It’s third day already. I couldn’t sleep too.”
“You shouldn’t worry over me. I’ll be fine.”!
“I know you would.”
He removed his hands from her shoulders and urged her to leave. She smiled faintly and over the door fully.
“Still can’t tell him. Can I?”
“Not yet.”
“When?”

“Till am gone. I don’t wanna be here when he knows. I don’t think I can survive his hurt.”
“Anything you say. I’ll keep it to myself till you’re...” He couldn’t say the word.
“It’s okay. I’ll see you later.” She went out of the house. Green held the door and shut it for her. He peeped through the keyhole and saw her marching down the lane.
Where could she be going?
She searched around. She knew Green was watching so she pretended she was going elsewhere meanwhile whatever she was looking for was around the house. The scent was coming from here. What does this person wants.
She walked to the corner of the house and saw a shadow larking around. She held the the person shirt and forcefully spun her around.
She gasped seeing the face of the person.
“Anika?”
“Wow. You have good memories. I see you remember what you did to us and who you’re. You ain’t human you know that.”
“I was. Once.” She let go of the shirts she was holding.
Anika chuckled. She fold her hands.
“I can see you’re scent is quite strong now. You’re getting stronger. Meaning she’s dying in here. You’re taking over her completely. Poor Maeve her desires to be human is quenched”
“Why are you here? What do you want?”
“The soul inside of you. I can make you human Maeve.”
“How?”

“If you wanna know come to the basement on the second day. Before the full eclipse.”
“And what if I don’t.”
“Dixon dies.”
“What do you mean?” Her dark eyes came on. Anika moves backwards in fright.
“If you don’t come. Dixon will dead. You’ll kill him yourself. On the night of full eclipse and your chance of being human would be lost forever. Come to the basement Dixon would live and you can get a chance of being human.”
“Why would you help me, why would you?”
“Because I want to correct our mistake. If you don’t trust me I wonder who you would trust. You know, except you want the sacrifice of love. He would die as well. Is that what you want?”
“You would make me human?”

“I would. You’ve to be there before the last day. You’ve just today to decide your fate and his fate.”
She turned away from her. Then face her again.
“What if you couldn’t make me human.”
“You’ll kill me.”
“That would be after I kill you first. And your boyfriend Dixon, and then come for every one of who loved you and take care of you while you were here. I'll take my revenge for Lucas and I” Anika smirked. Watching her expression.
“I know you desperately what to be human. You can’t say no to this offer. You know me. We made you. We’ll find a way. Trust me.”
Maeve sighed.
What could she do, she would have to think about it. Beside she couldn’t just do anything and die off like that.
“You’ll meet me in the basement. We’ll be waiting for you.”
She turned away from Maeve and walked away from her.
She believes her. Haha! Come to your doom Maeve. And pay for the lives you ruined.
I’ll make sure of it.
That you end up dying and make your death quick and painful. Killing you and the beast in you.
“See you tomorrow Maeve. At your funeral. Ha ha ha.”
