Blake wandered about in a dark room. He could barely make out anything as his legs marched forward into the darkness. He saw a very bright light from a distance and the light seemed to unto calling onto him.
Without thinking twice, he ran as fast ad he could to the light. As he sauntered closer into to the light, it became awfully bright and blinding. He batted his full eyelashes several times so his eyes could get used to the light.Further into the light, there were two roads. One was very narrow and the other was wide. A man on black robe was standing on the wide road with his back facing Blake."Who are you?" he asked but his voice echoed a thousand times. The man turned to face Blake, his lips curling into a bitter smile.His eyes flickered with surprise as he was standing face-to-face with a man that he had a resemblance to."Father?" he called in a trembling voice, hot tears were starting to spill out of his eyes. All his life, he had been mocked for not having a father but here he was right in front of him! He was beyond overjoyed!The man frowned. He didn't seem pleased on seeing him, his soft nature was making him furious."I see your mother has trained you to be one them... a human." Lucifer said in a very displeased tone. Blake bowed his head in disappointment as he received a scolding from his father. It seemed that he did not like him very much and just the thought of that made his heart clench painfully.He grimaced when he thought of how weak of a son he had been. He told in a very harsh voice, "You've allowed people to step on you all your life and for that... I am very disappointed. You're weak Blake and I hate weaklings!""I'm sorry dad for disappointing you," he quickly apologized for fear that his father might get angry or even worse, reject him.Lucifer scoffed and finally opened his mouth after a short silence. Those few seconds of silence were full of internal torment for him. His father was scary. He was Lucifer after all."You have not failed me yet," his deep voice rumbled and Blake found himself exhaling deeply in relief. He then declared in a rather powerful voice that lumbered with authority," Your powers will manifest tonight. Your first mission will be to bring me the souls of those bullies as well as many others... a thousand maybe." A small smirk played on Lucifer's lips when he mentioned the word 'souls'.Blake nodded in acknowledgement, the conner of his lips curled a little as he affirmed, "Your wish is my command, father...but might I ask you this question?"His smiling face soon metamorphosed into a long face. His voice turned cold as he thundered in a loud and impatient tone, "What is it?""Um...erm...m-my mother..." he stuttered upon sensing the change in his dad's previous mood. Was he bipolar or he just didn't like him?"When your powers manifest tonight. You will then have the power to repair your previous damage, the only damage you can't repair is... death." His eyes brightened. That meant there was still hope for his mother and his best friend...Liam.Before he could mutter a thank you, his dad was quick to say, "You can leave now."**********Blue eyes fluttered open as they stared at the white ceiling. The first scent that hit his nose was the smell of drugs and disinfectants. Yep, hospitals! He stirred in the bed and a soft groan escaped his lips."Blake!" His mother rushed into the room with tears flowing down her eyes. She plopped down and pulled the boy into a warm embrace which he didn't dare to return. Her grip was so tight that he could barely breathe.She muttered inaudible words that reached only his ears, she resumed her wailing afterwards, "Oh Blake, you scared me to death. I thought I had lost you. Don't ever scare mommy like that ever again. The doctor said you suffered from cardiac arrest and...""Mom, I might actually die if you keep hugging me." He revealed with a playful grin on his lips. His mother immediately loosened her tight grip and blushed slightly in embarrassment when she realized that she was indeed suffocating him!"Mom. Might I remind you who I am? I won't die so easily, so don't worry. Look, you've stained your pretty face with tears," he pouted and she quickly cleaned her tears and beamed a smile. He always knew how to cheer her up."I just panicked a little. Those bullies have been expelled but I also plan on filing a law suit...""That won't be necessary," he cut her off, his eyes reddened in rage and his playful voice turned cold. He turned to his mother and said with an indifferent expression, "I would handle them myself. Just find a way to get me out of this hospital first." Her eyes widened in horror. She wanted to say something but she nodded instead. When he said 'handle them' she immediately understood what he said. Those boys won't know what hit them!******************************************** ~11:59 PM~Just one minute left. Forty five seconds, thirty seconds, fifteen seconds...Blake's eyes were glued to the wall clock as he watched the seconds tickle slowly. He felt so nervous, so nervous that his hands were starting to shake. What if his powers didn't manifest? What if he wasn't able to cure this mother? What if he disappointed his father? Those were the thoughts that flooded his mind as the seconds slowly ran out. Each second made him feel even more jittery.Five, Four, Three, Two, one. His face flushed as he covered his face with his duvet cover. When he saw nothing was happening, he slowly uncovered his face.What he had not expect was for his duvet cover to be flung to the farthest corner in his room. His eyes widened in horror. It's happening!His eyes remained glued to his duvet cover and before he could make out words, a powerful force lifted in him up so that he was floating on mid-air. He subsequently caught fire afterwards and soon his screams filled the air.Emily bolted into the room on hearing his helpless screams. Her jaw dropped as she remained frozen at the spot where she stood. She gulped down her own saliva as she stared at her son in total stupefaction."Mom, please help! I'm gonna die!" He wailed in agony. The fire was not burning his clothes but it felt like it was burning his organs and even his bones! He was in grave pain.His mother was at loss of words. She finally spoke after a brief silence, "I guess it's part of your..." She cleared her her throat and revealed in shaky voice, "transformation?"Soon after she said those words, the boy's head was thrown backwards and his eyelids were shut tight. Seconds later, his eyes abruptly opened. Gone were his innocent and playful blue orbs as it was now replaced with red and vicious orbs.The fire slowly extinguished itself and all that was left was black fumes that was slowly inhaled into his nostrils. He was instantly let go by the force and he dropped to the bed with a soft thud, leaving him bouncing on the sheets.Emily dashed to his side with horror in her eyes. Her slightly shaky hands reached for his neck and checked his pulse. Sensing that his pulse was normal, she heaved a small sigh, relief washing over her pale face.Blake's eyes were still tightly shut so she panicked. She called out in a small but shaky voice, "Blake...""Are you alright?" She questioned while tapping him slowly but he didn't respond. Her panic grew as she started tapping him vigorously. She checked his pulse again, it was normal. Why wasn't he waking up?"I'm alright mom," he stated with his eyelids still shut. His voice sounded powerful. Not the normal childish voice he once had. This one carried a dangerous aura, one that screamed evil!He placed his little hand on her head and declared in a strong but loving voice, " Sleep now, mother. For tomorrow your tumor shall cease to exist!" Her eyes slowly started falter and within seconds, she was soundly asleep.He hopped out of the bed and made his way to his walk-in closet. He took out one of his finely made Italian suit. It was Black. Just the perfect color for death. So many souls were going to die tonight!***** ~In the hospital~A loud cry pierced through the air of the maternity ward."Madam, it's a girl!" An elated nurse, raised the baby up while placing it on the mother's chest."Honey, our baby," The mother cried, staring at her husband who was equally at loss of words at that moment. The joy they both felt... being parents to this beautiful soul.For a while total silence filled the room, only the baby's giggles could be heard."Ariana... Ariana Garcia," the mother sobbed while naming her child. A genuine smile became painted on the man's face. His big and callous palm held her small and soft palm as he revealed in a joy filled voice,"Welcome to the world, Ariana.".......Ariana is born!!!Emily stirred up in her sleep, a big smile easily making its home on her lips. She yawned softly and slowly sat up on the bed with her eyelids still closed. Opening her eyes, she gazed at her son who was sleeping peacefully beside her. A smile of satisfaction was still painted on his face even as he slept.She leaned closer to his dazzling face and pecked him on his forehead, her fingers slowly running through his soft and curly hair.She got out of his bed and strolled to her own room where she freshened up. She strode to the kitchen afterwards. It was time to make breakfast for the birthday boy!Once breakfast was ready and the food was served on the dinning table, the door bell rang and Emily went to answer it. It was the strawberry cake and pepperoni pizza cake she had pre-ordered the previous day. It was hard to decide which cake to order as he liked both cakes so she ordered both of 'em. Damn, it was gonna be a feast. It wasn't that much of a problem since the boy had a very lar
"That's him. He killed our sons. Arrest him!" She screamed at the top of her voice. Her ear splitting voice was so high pitched that the glass cup Blake was holding shattered and cut his hands in the process."Blake are you okay?" His mother rushed over to him and held his bleeding finger with a panicked expression.He pursed his lips and glared at Jessica who was equally glaring at him. Her eyes were red and so was her face. She looked like a bomb about to explode.Her son...Emily rose to her feet, her calm and meek eyes darkening in seething rage. She trotted over to the woman's short form and stood just a few inches from her. They stared at each other for a few seconds and for those seconds there was but a complete silence between these two while they just murdered each other with their hateful gazes. The hatred, the rage... If only eyes could kill...Unexpectedly, they was an ear splitting sound at that moment. Everyone's gaze were now focused on these two. Jessica held her face
"Blake as you know, you are one of the suspects for the murder of Mark. We would like to see the CCTV footage of last night."Blake smiled and remained unperturbed while Emily's inside were practically shaking in fear but thankfully she was quick to mask her expression else they would both be exposed. Blake could sense her tension, so he stretched out his hands to hers and gave her a reassuring smile, one that warmed her heart and made all her fears disappear."Sure." Was his simple reply. His mother who suddenly regained her confidence, rose from the couch as she said, "I will go get the laptop."Minutes later, Emily arrived the sitting room with a laptop in her hands. She placed the laptop of the glass table and gestured for Collins to play the footage.Collins tapped a few keys on the laptop. The footage of last night from around 11pm was displayed on the computer screen. Blake was seen dozing off on the bed, his mother joined him on bed at around 11:30. He then snuggled up to hi
"I have evidence!" It was just but three words but those words made a patter of cold shivers run down her spines. He had evidence? How? She made sure she silenced the only person who knew about her death and erased all traces of her death. Could it be he...She laughed weirdly and mocked, "Evidence? How could a eight year boy have evidence? Are you gonna show us a horror movie of a ghost killing a boy? How pathetic!"Collins simply ignored her continuous ranting and asked the boy seriously, "You said you have the evidence. Where is it?"Blake peered into the eyes of the man and gave him an innocent look. His lips quivered as he spoke in a scary tone, "She would kill me if I tell you, just like she tried to kill my friend. He's in a coma now." The boy sobbed and placed his head on his mother's shoulder. Emily's eyes narrowed to her son, the expression on her face was that of perplexity. The friend he was referring to... Could it be Liam?!Jessica felt her legs begin to falter. She stagg
As they awaited the results of her CT scan, the anxiety in Emily's heart grew. She didn't know why but since she woke up, she felt awfully better and she hadn't coughed since she left the house and even as they were in the hospital.She didn't know if she was getting worse or if she was actually healed? She stared her son who was seated beside her. His small legs were crossed and his facial expression was that of repose. Now that she actually thought about it, she didn't really remember much from last night. She only remember running into Blake's room and seeing him ablaze. That was all she could remember and the next morning she was waking up beside her son! Weird?"Blake, do you know what happened last night?" He pursed his lips and replied casually, "You just fell asleep."Her eyes went wide with surprise, she couldn't just fall asleep. Or was it the drug she took last night? It made her drowsy though.She pouted her lips and didn't ask anymore questions. A nurse soon came out of t
Liam chewed on the food hastily, he then took a glass of water and gulped its content down."Easy on the food." Blake chuckled and poured more water into his cup."I'm damn hungry! Don't blame me, I haven't eaten in a month!" he pouted his lips and continued eating. Blake smiled but didn't say anything. He was glad that his mother packed more than enough, otherwise, he was scared the food might not be enough.Liam soon finished all of the food. He licked his lips as he prepared to savour the mouth watering cake. "Time for desert." He muttered, delving into the huge strawberry cake. His lips were stained with icing, but he abruptly licked it from his lips. Blake watched as his friend devoured the cake with amusement dancing in his eyes. He felt overjoyed seeing that he was back to his previous self.Moments later, the door opened and Emily and Helen walked into the room. They seemed to be discussing about something that they didn't notice the two boys on the bed. Helen's mood seemed to
Sitting on the hospital bed with a broken heart, the woman felt a bit hesitant to disclose her ailment to the boy. She gazed at the boy's tranquil expression and then at his innocent blue orbs. She didn't know why but she felt she could trust him. "I have Osteosarcoma," she started slowly with a sullen look on her face. "I was diagnosed six months into my pregnancy and worse of all, my cancer had spread to my Lungs making it even harder to treat!" She confessed with a sunken spirit, the pain she felt burned her heart. It was the kind of pain one felt when a knife was pierced into the heart.She clutched unto her chest and let out short raspy breaths. She felt her lungs burn for air but she didn't get any. Blake appeared to have noticed her difficulty in breathing. Just when she was about to press the emergency button on her bed, his word stopped her, "Don't."As if possessed by an invisible force, she dropped her hands from the button. He placed two of his fingers on her forehead an
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAIN SOME GORY SCENES.In an enormous living room, a man named Jacob Killian was seated on of the exquisite couches with a glass of whiskey in his hands and a picture frame of a beautiful woman.His eyes were red from the tears he had shed earlier and his heart felt heavy and it hurt so much. The love of his life was dead and soon he would be too. He pretty much knew that Shane already ordered for his execution. Shane was a dangerous man, it was impossible to escape from his grasp. At least, he knew he would soon be reunited with the love of his life.As he gulped down the entire content of the glass, the brownish liquid burned his throat. He stroked the woman's face on the frame and let out a bitter smile. He brought the picture to his face and gave it a light peck."Gross." A small voice mumbled from behind him and a sudden shudder of dread ran down his spine. He felt his hands quake in fright as Blake ambled over to where he sat. What was he doing he
