Chapter-18 [Sisters of darkness]
The ground wouldn't stop slippery because of the rain. The cold weather took everyone into their quarters early. Funny enough, the moon still came out. People said whenever it rained and the moon still came out, it means the gods are happy. New York has been known to be a place of peace and harmony, back in those days. Now the city is in chaos as various deaths of the innocents' citizens have been recorded. No trail, no suspect, just corpses and the gods are happy. Something is wrong. New York has now become the home of strange things.
The heroes sat in the living room waiting for Susannah to come to explain her abrupt disappearance. A few minutes later, she came in and saw them sitting all together. The looks on their faces show she needed to start speaking up before they even questioned her. Mr Richard and his wife also joined them in the sitting room waiting to hear Susannah's explanation.
Chapter-19 [ Price for a dying soul ]Susannah opened her eyes and met herself in a cave, she recalled her first encounter with the old woman and she got terrified. If only she had adhered to her advice, all these happening to her wouldn't have happened. She inhaled deeply as she walked slowly, threading her steps in order not to disrupt the old lady. She knew it was her doing, she met herself in the cave. She walked inside the deep cave and met everywhere glowing. Starlight was everywhere, all hanging in the air. She saw the old woman sitting on a huge golden chair, her head down, with a black staff in her left hand. The cave closed from behind as Susannah moved closer to her which got her more frightened."Why did you call me here?" Susannah managed to utter, one could tell she's more afraid with the intensity of her voice."Why ask for what you know the answer!" The old woman replied coldly which made Susannah s
Chapter-20 [ power ]Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your reality. Although countless teachings instruct how to obtain enlightenment in a future life, almost all of them are nothing more than expedients, as the ultimate instruction there is simply no teaching that is superior to the true practice of the awakening to one’s nature. Don't get upset with little jerks in life because life is a road and problems are like speed breakers. They saved us from a big accident.If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. It is better to conquer you
Chapter-21 [ hopeless ] INSIDE THE DEEP FORESTThunderclap could be heard everywhere because it is nightfall already. The chirping of the birds flying could be heard, the trees bent their branches to the direction of the wind. Inside the building, the heroes were chained up to a big pillar made of irons. The sisters of darkness made sure they tortured them with several weapons they had and the heroes couldn't stop groaning with blood all over their bodies which made the sisters of darkness laugh at them the most."You all look feeble, useless bunch of losers. I'm gonna kill you all slowly and your death will serve as sacrifice and food to our souls" their leader said, coming out from her chamber. In her hand was her staff which glows every single second."Yeah we know, you've said that countless times. Are you sure you onc
Chapter-22 [ darkness prevail ]Mr Richard, his wife, Patricia, and Mrs Smith got home looking exhausted. Thompson had dealt with them, luckily they found a way to escape his wrath for the meantime because they knew he's still coming back and they need to be ready for him because he can appear anytime but before then, they need to train up themselves together with the heroes. Thompson being only one man had given them much fear in their hearts. How he gained much power, they never knew. If Thompson had built up an army just like himself, they all knew he would be unstoppable because only he still gives them much threat not to talk about creating beings like him.All got in, expecting to meet the heroes but was astonished as they found the whole building empty. Their facial expressions change as they all sense things might
Chapter-23 [ The beast ]The atmosphere was cold as the electricity had gone off. None had a clue on what was happening but for Patricia who had explained the reasons behind the blackout to the rest who were shocked by what she said. Nobody could utter a word, they stood still staring at each other with a torchlight in their hand."What did you mean dead?" They all chorused."The heroes are dead," Patricia replied with tears flowing down from her light blue eyes."And that is the reason for the blackout," Patricia said, still in tears while others stood still thinking about what Patricia just said."I'm not sure they're dead, and how did you know? " Mrs Smith asked Patricia."I can hear Eddie groan, can feel his pains," Patricia said, tears still in her eyes."You said so, we don't n
EPISODE-24 [ full moon ]Mr Richard, his wife, Mrs Smith, and Patricia could be seen inside a room. The room was dimly lit with the vintage wall sconces that hung on the mute coloured walls like earrings. Thick velvet curtains hid the long windows across the walls, just leaving a shy peak of the woods beyond. Two antique couches stood on the opposite sides of each on the hand-woven rug in front of the ashen fireplace, accompanied by rich velvet and bronze wing-chairs that stood as a sidekick. They all sat around a table. On the table were a tablet and a cup of coffee in everyone's front. Mrs Smith picked up the tablet, worked on it and showed it to others who were sipping their coffee."Where would she be, the tracker couldn't locate her," Mrs Smith said, dropping the tablet."Let's hope that's the last of her," Mrs Richard said, lowering her cup of coffee."Let's hope so, what abou
Chapter-25 [ power from within ]Endless trees blacked out the Crystal-clear sky; Most lustre was trapped through the branches. They were undraped. No glaucous leaves to submerge them up. The breeze of the wind roared, demanding them to frolic insanely. Claws curled; grabbing and scratching everything they could sense around the atmosphere. This forest was exactly like the world's wildest Mental Asylum under the glimpse of the moon of flickering light. The wind howled and blew a bitter chill past the dying trees; it danced with the leaves and dragged them away unwillingly from the autumn ground. The floor was damp and stagnant with the odour of decomposing wood, diamonds pierced the black sheet held up above and looked down with vengeance. The forest seemed to never end; tall silhouettes shadowing the ground ravens circling overhead and screams echoing through the wind. Beady eyes hidden within the bramble scanned the area, oblivious that the
Chapter-26 [death of the Smiths ]"My dad is dead, you made a deal with the devil using my mum as bait huh. Why? " he screams at them with his eyes full of tears. The rest of the heroes couldn't do anything other than feel the same pain. Their guardians (parents) had made the deal without them knowing even though it was for them."No answer huh," Dave said again, with much anger visible in his eyes and ran faster than their eyes could see. During the moment of his speed, unknowingly duplicated himself into three, with three of them holding the three guardians by their neck."What the hell just happened! " the rest utter in bewilderment.Dave was surprised to see himself in such a state, his powers are back, this time with more force of powers. On sighting this, he dropped the three guardians who were all astonished by Dave's new development. Dave began checking his bodies, his clone
