Ray's POV
"So this might be the hall of the school"Cory said as she flipped through her pad and I nodded...munching on the pizza she ordered...My mom went off saying she has an interview with Cory's boss but I don't give a shit right now
"So ummm"Harry interrupts us as he stood up"I gotta go now and I will pick you up at six eh?"
Cory looks up at him as she drops the pad on my laps...we were all sitting at the living room
"I will have to make dinner for the kids and make sure Ray is prepared for school tomorrow so let's say by 8pm?"She said and he shrugged and Cory then went up to him...Holding his hands as they both went off and then I saw a weird looking ring on is pinky finger and then suddenly I felt this vibration inside my body and I ran upstairs....banging my door shut as I reached towards the bathroom...I looked at my bracelet and it's color has gone from its original color to black...My skin starts to change and some black liquid starts dripping from my nose and then I look up at the mirror....
I saw my reflection on the mirror trying to breakout from the mirror...I backed away quickly..
"Let me out...lets save her"
"What do you want...can't you just let me be....Can't you let me live a normal life?"I said as tears roll down my cheeks...what did I really do to deserve this
"There is nothing normal...that bracelet can't hold me much longer and you know it but right now you need me...Cory will die if you don't let me out" My reflection said and I signed
"You made me kill innocent people!!"I yelled
"I made you kill people who deserve to die...their souls are what I need...the souls of the sinners"
"They are fucking humans!!"
"Human whom are meant to be eliminated"
I look down my hands as the black drips keep coming more and more and I went to the sink to wash it off....saying to myself that this isn't real as my reflection keeps screaming to let her out and suddenly the mirror shattered and I felt something went into me as I flew towards the wall...I fell and was shaking violently as I saw a vision of Harry as he was on call...talking about how the deal is going and all and suddenly Cory barged in
"Ray!!!!"She called out as she came up to where I fell and I got myself immediately...I looked at my hands...no black blood...the mirror wasn't broken and everything just seem normal
Gosh I'm going crazy
"Ray I heard you screaming...what's wrong?"
Honestly
I don't know what's going on
Gideon's POV
"We need to find her or she will get herself killed"Fiona said as she paced around my office while I was busy setting up my bible and hymn books for communion service
"She choose revenge and she has to bear her own consequences"I said
"Are you being serious Father?....She has been with us...she served the church...she was so obedient to the....."
"And yet what!!!...."I looked up straight to her face with fury burning in me"And yet she choose to go against the church and seek for revenge....after all these years I tried to make her change from her old ways...but I guess some things can never be changed"I got my car keys and Fiona grabbed my arm...tears flowing down her cheeks
"Where was God when she was arrested....where was God when her only relative she had was killed....WHERE WAS GOD!!!!!?"She said as she broke into tears and left my office and I signed
I wish I could help Fiona
I wish I really did
But Martha had a choice and she choose it and she has to live to bear her own consequences
After service I went straight to my car and got in...I said a silent prayer and start the car and suddenly I felt a mental stuff poked at my rib and fear crept in me...I started to shake as I heard a voice behind me
"Move"
I started the car and drove off the church premises...Who could be this person..what have I done...I'm not related to Martha...or is he an armed robber?...I think I have enough money on me to spare...I looked at the rear mirror and I couldn't see his face...he wore a mask and a hoodie
"Please...I will give you anything...I have money...Is that what you want...I promise I will add eno...."
"Shut up.....and drive"He said cutting me off and I gulped
God please...help me
He made me stop at Fiona's residence and I wondered why....Is he trying to kill her...what has Fiona has to do with all this?
"Call her out"He said
"Wh...what?" I shuttered in fear...I can't let him have her...I lost Martha and I can't loose Fiona too
"I don't want to repeat myself again...call...her...out"He said and poked the gun on my ribs...making it hurt and I hissed in pain
God
Where are you
I picked up my phone...praying silently that she won't be home...I dialed her number and it rang twice before she picked it up
"Gideon?...Have you thought about what we said?"She asked
"Are you home?"I asked...God please
"Yes I am....Just came back in...do you want to come around?"She asked and fear crept into me
I felt so helpless
What am I going to do?
Why is my past always coming to hunt me?
"Ca...Can you come out?"
Ray's Pov
So soon after I and Eddy went to the shopping mall...He was so dead silent throughout our ride to the mall and I don't know how to tell him how deeply sorry I am...Apparently I don't even know how to apologize when it comes to situations like this...And he was being so nice
Urrrgggghhh...just tell him your sorry and get over with
And besides...I need him to save Cory tonight
"It fits you"He said as I was checking out a purple hoodie and I smiled and turned to him
This is my queue
"Look...I'm sorry for..."
"Is okay...I totally understand...I should have given you some time alone"He said and I nodded
"So...we are cool?"I asked....curling my fingers
"Of course...now grab some more few clothes let's head back...we don't want to keep my mom waiting"
I nodded and continue selecting some few clothes...I need to tell him that his mom is in trouble cause I can't carry out this mission without him...I just don't know how imma break this up to him...This is so fucked
Few minutes after shopping...He held the bags for me after too many attempts of telling him I can take it...His such a gentle guy...I can't really drag him into this mess but I don't have a choice now
I got into the passenger's seat and he got in too as we drove off...Few minutes towards the drive...I was racking my head out...thinking of how to tell him this without revealing my true form to him
"I wanna...."
I wanna..."
We both spoke in unison together and he chuckled
Cute
"You go first"He said
"No is okay...You should go first"I said..staring at my fingers
"Not to be rude but umm...why are you and your mother here...just asking"He said and I looked up at him...He wasn't mad about us here...he just looks..concerned
"We umm...We needed a fresh start"I said...I mean...it wasn't totally a lie
"So what do you want to tell me"He said I gulped...We swerved through the city as the air hit me...not as refreshing as the air at my home
I braced myself and looked up at him..."I don't wanna sound crazy but...I need you to drop me off at the movies"I blurted out...fuck...I couldn't say it...I couldn't tell him...His too good to get into my own problems...Not now
"Ummm...sure but...you wanna meet someone?"He asked as he turned towards me but I moved my face away...staring at the window
"Yeah...But that's after dinner"I said and he nodded and I breath out a sign of relief
I hope this plan won't turn to shit
Few minutes after dinner...My mom walked into my room as I was trying to keep my new clothes in order
"They look beautiful"She said and I rolled my eyes
And then it hit me...If I have to save Cory then I need to take off this bracelet and my Mom knows how
I turned to her..."How so I take off this bracelet?"
She looked shocked up I don't really have time for this bullshit right now
"Why do you to....."
"Seriously Mom....just for the fucking love of God...allow me to make my own decision for once"I said as she looked down...feeling defeated...I'm not a child anymore and I have to learn how to embrace my fears and accept what I am now
"You have to turn it twice around your wrist anti-clock wise and pull it off"She said and I grabbed my new purple hoodie and was about to step out and she called back
"Ray?"
I turned to her as I have reached at the door
"Promise me you won't let it overcome you"She said as tears rolls down her cheeks
I don't know if I will but...In anyway...I have to face them...Even if it takes control over me or not
I moved out...shutting the door as I hurriedly went downstairs as I met Eddy at the porch
"You ready?'He asked
I don't know
"Yeah...let's go"I said and went into the car
Soon after he dropped me and left...I brought out a piece of paper where I got the hotel address where Cory went for her date...I flagged down a taxi...showed him the address and he took there
When I got off from the taxi...I was so surprised on how big the hotel was...it was so tall...all covered with golden glass and the name of the hotel hanged at the front
Golden Suites
Cool
Then I walked in and reached to the receptionist...She wore a white shirt and a black tie with are name tagged on her breast pocket and her blonde hair packed neatly in a ponytail style
She's cute
Come on Ray...focus
"Can I help you?"She asked with a smile
"Yeah umm....Cory's reservation?"I asked
God I hope this works
She looked at her screen and looked up at me with a smile
I bet it worked
"Harry and Cory reservation...They here already here...and they said no disturbances"She said and I gulped
How am I suppose to get pass her
"Look...I'm aware of that but I'm her daughter and I just got back from Australia so I need to get the house keys from her....please...I have a jet lag"I said and she looked at me...with a little pity on her face and I mustered up my puppy face
"You have two minutes"She said and gave me a card..."12th floor at room 98"
I took it from her and thanked her then rushing towards the elevator...got in and it went shut as I clicked on the 12th floor
Then I brought my hand up at where my bracelet is and touched it...I really wish I'm strong enough to hold myself...but if it is to save Cory then...so be it
I did what my mom instructed me...And then the bracelet went loose as pain shut through my spin...I winced in pain as fell on the floor...the elevator light flickered as I bite my lips...trying not to scream...thousands of voices keep ringing in my head...my body starts turning pale and I felt my teeth getting longer than it's original sized
The elevator open with a ding sound as walked slowly...creasing my claws at the wall...my eyes glows bright red
I got the room and I started to hear screams from Cory...I smiled and opened the door slowly with the card...the lights inside the room kept going on and off as Cory stopped screaming and then Harry turned to me...my hoodie was up and I faced down...making him not to see my eyes yet
"Who are you...and what do you want?"He asked as he approached to me with a knife
I giggled
Humans are so pathetic
Sometimes they don't even know or care what might befall them in any second
"What's so funny you little twit?"He asked
"What's funny?....Hehehe...What's funny is how delicious your soul will taste like"I said with a a very ghostly voice
Can't believe it came from me
"Well unfortunately you are very unlucky because you are not suppose to be here...I have to kill you"He said and charges towards me....rose his hand but couldn't bring it down to stab me...he just stuck there...not moving at all
"What's going on....I....I can't move"He said as start to smell his fear creeping out
I giggled
"Now...IS MY TURN"
I rose my head up as he saw my eyes...fear and terror filled his face as he begged for his life...then suddenly his hand started moving towards his throat as he kept struggling
"P...P....Please don't do this...please!'"He screamed but is too late poor soul
Slowly
Gently
He slit his throat as blood pumped out...he kept gagging...fighting but is of no as the knife went deep into his throat as his fell on the floor...blood gushing
Cory looked terrified as I approached towards her....ran my claws around her face... and I disappeared into thin air
