It was few hours before the partial eclipse, yet it was dark and windless and as predicted the city was awfully quiet.
But, underneath the prominent furtive bungalow there was a faint umbra of a person chained like the crucified Christ gasping for breath.
she was being flogged by an aggressive man.
The whips was hard on her skin. Making blood spills out of it.
Her hair was unravel and was strip of her cloth that’s if she had one. She was weak yet strong.
Her cries were muffled. The pains in her eyes weren’t mistaken. But there was nothing she could do.
“Isn’t that enough, Lucas.”
Lucas shot him a stare and continue whipping her hard.
“She’s my slave, my property. I know how to handle it. Leave Green, if you can’t take the sight.”
“I can’t believe you still have a weak heart after all you have seen here.”
“But..”
“Is this the first time you’re seeing this.”
Green shook his head in negation, she has been chained here ever since he began working for Lucas.
She has been in his custody.
Green nodded and began walking away from the basement. He works under Lucas as a paranormal researcher, an intern he was.
And the last thing he would do was to get involved with Lucas when he’s in a mood.
But the girl, he felt for her..
He had to do something now. Since it would be partial eclipse in a few hours, this was his chance.
He had to let her go....
He turned back and began walking towards the table Lucas kept his equipment.
The only chance he’s got, the only thing he’s gonna do.
He hunkered down beside the table so he was not seen by Lucas. And began filling a syringe after several mixture.
Lucas dropped the whip. Glancing around if he could see Green, he didn’t.
“He chicken out..”
Tsk tsk.
He clicked his tongue, pulling he hand gloves off his hands, hurled it in a waste bin.
He walked out..
Green crawled out of his hiding, clutch tight to the syringe. And began walking towards the girl.
Her head was hanging down. She had her eyes closed and instead of tears blood were dripping down her cheeks.
He inserted the syringe in her shoulder and empty the liquid in it.
She didn’t move a bit, thinking it was still Lucas.
“It’s better this way, it’s better you live this way than what will happen to you if Lucas get here first before the partial eclipse”
His voice was low, whispering in her ear.
“Though it won’t be enough, it’s better than living as a full demon..”
Her eyes snapped opened immediately he said that, she turned, twisting with the chains to get a glimpse of the face but he was gone. There was no one here.
She turned again, the chains wrapped around her.
Where’s he?
****
Hours later, couple of minutes before the partial eclipse....
She felt something circulating in her system, was it because of the injection she was given a while ago. Her head began spinning and she shuddered vigorously. What is happening to her, she could feel her body changing into something she could decipher, something larger and frightening.
She roared out loudly, turning and twisting with the chains.
“aargh.’’
She bawled. Her veins were prodding out. She screamed violently, what the hell is she turning into?.
“Aargh!”
She screeched.
The door cracks opened, revealing a man in his late forties, with a surgical box. Which was no other than Lucas. A woman was beside him, having similar wicked smirk on her face with Lucas. She flicks the light on.
“What is wrong with her?’’She whispered in his ear but her eyes were fixed on the girl who was now panting heavily.
“It wasn’t supposed to be happening now” she panicked.
“I don’t know’’ He whispered back, Taking several steps towards the table. Checking the equipment, where is it, the liquid he was supposed to give her before the partial eclipse.
It wasn’t here.
Oh no
Green.
He couldn’t have done that right?
“You were supposed to’’
“I think someone came here before we did, he changed everything, just that little thing he did, ruin our plan for years.”
His voice was shaken.
The confidence look he had on was gone.
“Who was it, it couldn’t be a ghost or an angel.”
He shot her a stare.
“Don’t tell me Green did..ha!”
“Keep quiet Anika!’’.
Then she began screaming, wrestling with the chains, her face was covered with her prodding veins, her pupil began changing, it changed from her sea blue eyes to black colouring the white as well. The box fell from his hands, then he swallowed the lump in his throat.
“Lucas what are we going to do’’
“There’s nothing we can do anymore it’s already eclipse, all we have to do right now is..”
Completely engulfed in fear.
“...Escape!” He whispered yelled.
The chains broke. Losing her, She jumped down to the ground.
Lucas ran to the door but bumped into Anika and they both crushed to the ground. The bulb holding the light went and they struggled to get to the door first since the room has returned to darkness.
A devilish smirk appeared on her lips as she triumphantly trode towards them.
They jerk up and tried opening the door but it was bolted.
“Did you bolt the door’’ He screamed on her face.
“I did…I don’t know. “
“Do something lucas’’
“What should I do?’’
“Think lucas think’’ He shakes his head and cold shivers ran down his spine. when he felt her beside Anika pulled her closer and dug her curvy fingers into her eye it moved deeper until she pulled out an eye…
“It over! We are so dead.’’
She tower over Anika and bite her neck. She screamed. Her other hand pin her to the wall.
Lucas pee in his pant. The look in her eyes dark and cruel. This wasn’t what he wanted, this wasn’t his plans. He wanted her to obey him, to be under him. There was no mercy, and she was definitely killing them, without thinking he jumped right in. Pushing her away with all his might, but she didn’t move an inch, and her darted to him, with fury, she shoved Anika aside, she was more grateful, crawling away from her, her eyes bleeding profusely.
“Oh God! Please help. Just this ones.” She hiccups, with her hand over her eyes. Though she doesn’t believe in God but she just this once. If he could save them, just this once.
Crawling away into a dark part in the basement, her blood drawing lines on the ground.
Her fingers curled around his neck, lifting him off his feet, he didn’t struggle or fight back. There was nothing he could do, he can’t fight her. He resigned to fate.
While he was held. Her fingers score into his chest. Pulling out his heart.
"Lucas is dead!" Albert continue mixing the French tea Peru made for him. He added a cube of sugar and stir. Then took a sip and nodded in satisfaction. While his guest pace worriedly in front of him."I heard the news, it all over the internet. I knew he wouldn't last long, having a whole lot of weird and creep things in his house. What do you expect?" He replied his guest, his voice low and authoritative. He was huge and mighty. And he obviously behaved like the king he was, owner of Hans Town. He was Albert Ambrose. The wealthiest and powerful man of the town. His shoulders were held high and he does everything he deem fit. With giving a damn what his actions would cause. He thought of running for politics, if I man like him, go for politics, it’s all over for Hans town. "He did cause his death"
Detective Sean opened the door of the underground basement, he cringed, seeing the sight before him. Making him retreats his footsteps. The twenty years he had been working as a detective and the the thirty five years he had spent in this town. He hadn’t seen a thing as this. Blood was was all over the wall. There was a writing in blood as well.‘Don’t look for me, look for me you die.’It did give him chills.The forensic department were there, running a test on the items on basement. But he couldn’t see them at the moment, the only thing he saw was the blood on the wall. He couldn’t seem to get his eyes off it.What the hell are you?His gaze was on the room, eve
Dixon stared at the apartment he was quite familiar with, he felt like he was back to five years ago. Hanging out in the tall tree beside her house. Where they would sit and laugh and cuddle, underneath the tree. His ran run through the tree. Feeling it. Bringing back the memories of their romance. He smiled but a sad one. He moved away, staring at the brown wooden door. Remembering when he had helped her moved into this house. Asking her why she choose this apartment. She loved the serenity and nature. That was her reply then. He had grown to love her then, at first when Linda brought her to him. He hadn’t had any interest in her then. "Hold on. I'll be there in a sec" her tiny voice yelled, the burning sensation
"This is it?" Dixon asked, staring at the old house. Slightly bent to the side. Like it was gonna fall anytime soon. The walls having a crinkle lines on it, making the house look like a crone. It was the least of what he was expecting. " What were you expecting" she retorted" A beggar has no choice" she scorn at him, pulling out the crispy notes from his hands. “You’re still taking this from me! It all I have left..and am not a beggar, if I am a beggar it will be a beggar with choice.”Though she was old, she wasn't anything like it." Ho-ho" she snickered at what he said."Dixon, the supposed heir.. you’re one proud animal.”
Her hands quake on the table and she shuddered in fright. Her eyes flattered on its own. When she opened them, it was black. Slowly she let out a low growl. Racing out of the kitchen.Running into the room she came out from, quickly she hid behind the bed, curling in a tight ball. She need to control herself. It felt like her body was tearing apart. She was getting larger. And larger her taste for blood was so No, no she needs to control herself. She’s not a demon, she doesn’t want to be one.She hugged herself, buried her head in between her thighs. She couldn’t control it, it was bigger and larger than she was. Slowly, crawling out from beneath the bed. Looking for the nearest exit. And that was the back door.
Albert gaze at his reflection in the mirror. His eyes were small and having some dark circles around it. Fixing his tie. He throw a glance at the bed. It was empty as it has been the past days. Linda had choose to sleep in the guest room. Ever since he sent Dixon out. She just can’t understand. Fixing his tie properly, took the briefcase on the table and began walking out of the room. “Good mm—m.....”“Is your mother up yet?”“She hasn’t been ou—out of her room sin-“ Bruce stutters in fear. The sight of Albert is something he couldn’t behold. He deadly look he gets from him every single time. The fear was still in him. He doubt if he would ever get over it.
Dixon hands over the cup of coffee to ms Teresa and slump on the seat next to her. While munching the cookies he made. Staring absentmindedly on the TV set. “Why the glum look?”“Why won’t there be a glum look.” He retorted.“Calm down Dixon, will you. Just smile a bit. You’re look threatening.” “So she could leave! My heart is as hard as stone. I might end up killing her.”Do you mean to say she might end up killing you. Cause she doesn’t look like someone who has a heart.He force a smile which turns out to be a grimace. Ms Teresa chuckles.“You should be happy, you a
Having washed up and change into something new. He checked his wrist watch. He was getting late. He hurried down stairs, still thinking of the best way to approach alien. He kind of like calling her that. Though Something she looks intimidating. And sometimes, small and innocent. What’s he gonna do to her?Nothing!Not like he could do anything. Than try understand her.As ms Teresa said.Which seems like a workload. That’s never gonna easy. She was still seated on the dining table where they had left
