Chapter 16.
They waited for Willow to give the lead as she tried to go recall where the owl was facing."Okay, the night creature was over there!" She pointed as the officers watched her."It faced this way! Come one! Follow me!' He urged them and the sheriff signaled the rest officers as they began to trail behind her back.She was looking for the valley of skulls as they walked back to where the van was packed." We are walking in circles!" One of the officers said."Young lady! Are you messing with us?" The Sheriff scolded her."No! It was right here. I just need to know the path. There were skulls. Piper even kissed one. But... I can no longer find it. It was around this place!" She was scratching her hair and turning around in circles."Hey! Listen to me. Did you come here alone when you thought that you came here?""No! I came with friends! Hazel, Piper, and Billy. But they took Piper and 9 others!'" Okay, I understand. Can yoChapter 17*.*."When you came to my office that you have something urgent to attend to at home, I granted your request immediately. If I had known that you were going to the cops to cause trouble, I would not have granted your request!" He said as a flicker of tears dropped from her eyes."I hope you get better and move on from whatever you are passing through. But please, do not drag the cops into it. Okay? I would not like to receive more calls from the Sheriff. I am trying to stay out of trouble" He added as she stopped what she was doing and stared into space.He breathed down and scratched his hair."I know I am being too hard on you and--""Just go!" She said faintly.He stopped and watched her as he shook his head in pity."I hope you get better!" With that, he walked away as the bell at the door rang.She immediately darted her attention toward it and saw Tabitha and Lucy. Tabitha had a horrid look on her face and Lucy was
Chapter 18.*.*"The same thing happened to me. I told them about it. They thought I was crazy too. And when we went there, we saw nothing and no one agreed to attend the show. So, they would not believe" he sucked in air and back faced her."I told you that my parents gave up on me. They thought that I was insane. They wanted to put me in a home. I have to come here, a place that I and my brother always come to""It is of no use. No one would ever believe us" he finalized."I saw a failed experiment today. Lucy. My boss's daughter I told you about"This time, he turned to face her with terror in his eyes."What?""Yes. Her mother came to lay a complaint to her dad. They have taken her to the hospital. She spoke about a vaccine and isolation" she added as he scoffed."They lie! That kid would not survive""Why? She would die?""No! They would kill her because she is a failed experiment. They can not control her mind""Oh my
Chapter 19.*.*"I will establish you! You will get whatever you want! You do not have to work in that stupid coffee shop to make ends meet. Let me give you all you could ever wish for! Join us!" He said as his voice echoed in the room."Leave me alone!" She yelled and pushed him. He fell and crashed into the wheelchair."If you would not do this amicably, I guess I am going to do this my own way!' He cocked his hair to one side and brought out a huge sickle from his cloak."After her!" He yelled and her grandma threw her glass of whiskey away and started chasing after Willow."Willow! You have to listen to the Master! He is the future hope of the world!" Her grandma barked as she kept chasing after her while The Master stood at the window side and was touching his sickle while watching as the streetlight illuminated the garden.Willow was surprised how her grandma was able to run with such strength as she was very old. The strength her grandma pos
Chapter 20.*.*She hailed a taxi and was talking to the driver as he was just looking at Igor like someone that escaped from a home."Okay, but I hope he would not cause any trouble?" He questioned as Willow was confused."Who? Why would he cause any trouble?" Igor stood calm and watched the driver who was regarding him closely. The driver thought that he was not mentally okay because of how shabby he looked."Okay, hop in," he said as Willow and Igor entered the taxi. The driver drove off, heading to the coffee shop as Willow turned to look at Igor who was looking out from the window of the car.She confessed in her heart that he really did look shabby. She wondered when last he took a proper bath and combed his hair. His clothes too were not something one would brag of.She concluded in her heart that, he was not only her looks they would tamper with, they would also take care of his looks too. And maybe get a new set of clothes for him.
Chapter 21*.*He packaged what they bought back in the bag and gave it back to them."Thanks for your patronage" Willow was not interested as she and Igor walked out of the mall, carrying the bags with them.They got outside the mall and hailed a cab that took them to the path that lead to Crowville spring.After paying the cabman, they alighted and began walking on the lonely path without saying a word to each other.When they got to the Shack, Igor opened the door and Willow stepped in first, Igor made sure that no one was following them before he entered the shack and bolted the door.The room was a little bit dark as the sunlight from outside could not steal into the shack because of how Igor blocked all holes.He walked to the fireplace and light it up, then light up the lamp while Willow placed the bag on the chair."Let's get to work. We have to work on your hair first! There is no time" she said as he kept staring at her.
Chapter 22.*.*"I guess he turned a new leaf, maybe it might be because of what he did to you and he feels remorseful right now" Igor spoke."You surely do not have an idea! Rowland is nothing like that! Dude is mean!"Willow turned to the nurse and Nathan, "we would stay with her for a while. Her mom asked us to make sure that she was okay" "Are you okay with it? Fraya?" The nurse asked her."Sure. I am tired of staying here alone anyway. I could use some companies""Hmm, okay. I would be back" the red-headed nurse said and started walking away."Thanks, Nathan, you have been most helpful," Willow said to him."I am delighted that I could help, take care" with that, he walked away too.When they had made sure that they were gone, Igor walked to the cupboard and started pushing it away."Okay, I know my mom did not send you guys. Who the hell are you people?" Freya spoke.Willow tried to contain her shock and acted all co
Chapter 23.*.*.*"Are you sure there is a trapdoor here? We have been searching for over 30 minutes now and I am tired" Willow wiped off the beads of sweat that were forming on her forehead."I am very sure of it. There must be a trapdoor her. Just that, we have not seen it yet" he said and kept searching for it.Willow could not go on anymore as she decided to stop and rest. She walked to the bed that was there and sat on it. Immediately she did, it made a funny noise that made her flinch, and stood up immediately.Igor heard the sound and quickly darts his gaze toward her."Do what you did again"Willow gave him a puzzled look as he nodded at her. She sighed and sat on the bed again and it gave the same sound, she quickly stood up again.She glanced over at Igor who gave a sheepish smile."We have gotten our trapdoor, right over there! What was I thinking? I should have known that that was it!" He was excited as Willow just stared at h
Chapter 24.*.*"Do you know how to swim?" Igor threw the question at her as he began to remove his shoelace after he noticed the terror in her eyes."What? No. I do not know. I swam last with Samara when we were kids. I do not know if I can still swim" she confessed."And you, can you?"He smirked."I do not have my shack close to a spring for nothing""Wait, before you go in. Let me tell you the truth," He placed both hands on his waist and regarded her."I have aquaphobia," she started breathing heavily and he kept watching her."When we were kids, my parents died in a car accident. Their car drove off the bridge and fell into a lake. We were going on a vacation. I and Samara were saved first by the people that see us. Before they could rescue my parents," she sniffed and looked elsewhere."They did not make it" she confessed.He did not have the time to console anyone as he grabbed her hand."Come on, I will help
