Chapter 14 Icekid guns

"Your Dad isn t Luke but Paul" the demon replied I thought as much because my father s name was Paul but I wouldn t have to doubt her previously because of her explanation On how my Dad got to the new apartment close to the woman she said to be Gina "What about Paul father s business because I know that my father was not the owner since I was born?" I asked "They are the things you still need to know" the demon said "You are really confusing me" I said "Luke has done a lot that you will even hate him afterwards" the demon said The Luke in question, I haven t seen or know where he lives but I heard about his business Although I don t know any other things about him ?????? …. Faith POV ?? I was seriously thinking of Jason I wondered how I would use to meet him because I told him that I would be back after everything I would have tried watching him through my mirror but I wouldn t want the queen mother to be too out for him "When things goes another way, we will have to try another strategy" the queen mother said interrupting me I turned to face her "Queen mother" I said "Jason s life is getting to an end" she said as she stretched out her hand towards my mirror and things were shown Jason was with two men and a woman One man was a policeman while the other one was on a normal wear "What happened?" I asked not getting it "Although she is my rival but I am happy seeing what she did" the queen mother said Still I didn t get it "I don t understand" I said "Don t worry, I just want to do things for you, so that it would be easy" she responded "How do you mean?" I asked still looking at what was happening "Forget that, it s none of our business" she said and waved her hand as everything went blank I had to turn around "Take this" she added giving me something that looks like a gum "Put it in a drink and give present it to Jason but tell him that he should give it to Dorothy to drink, and you have to know how to convince him" the queen mother explained "So what help is it to us?" I asked "Once Dorothy drinks it, she will lose her gift of seeing demons" she said "What?" I asked "Yes and she won t be a blockage to you" she explained I smiled looking down on the gum because it would give me a chance to see Jason anytime I wish "Remember" she said while I looked up at her "It doesn t need to stay up to a day in the drink before she would take it, and it needs to neutralize before she takes it" she added It wouldn t be an easy thing ….. ….Mr Ken POV ?? After much discussion with the doctor, I got back to Dorothy s ward David was standing far from Dorothy because she was avoiding him He was carrying a bag that looks like something a box was in Meanwhile Bonny sat close to her and was consoling her He was also questioning her at the same time "But can you tell me what really happened?" Bonny asked I turned to look at David I could see pity in his eyes "I can t remember" Dorothy replied but I knew that she was only trying to protect David I guessed that she was too kind to David I wouldn t blame him though David s phone started ringing He looked at it At first, he doesn t want to pick it but he rethinks "Mom" he said with a dull voice "Am sorry, I had to leave like that" David apologized "Okay Mom, I will be back in no time" he concluded and hung up I noticed that he doesn t want to leave Maybe he was really regretting what he did "Doctor said that we need to give her space to rest" I said trying to stop the who movie They nodded in agreement "Get well because I left lots of things to come here" Bonny said smiling David walked closer to me "I think she will be hungry, so I bought her food but she rejected it" David said I turned to look at Dorothy but she turned her face to the other side "Let me have it" I said He nodded and gave it to me before he left Bonny followed him I walked closer to Dorothy "I can t accept that food" Dorothy said even before I would say a word I wouldn t force her "I will be back" I said and dropped the food beside her I knew she would be hungry but was trying very hard to avoid David Before I came out, David was gone Bonny said that he would be leaving since he has done his part I bidded him goodbye and went back Dorothy was already getting down the food I smiled and closed the door from behind I needed to know how David succeeded in giving her the gum but it wasn t yet time After when she must have been discharged from the hospital ?????? …. Victor POV ?? That Saturday morning and was also a break from work My Mom didn t visit me as usual For at least, to prepare my food because that was the thing I couldn t learn I drove out and got myself a food from a restaurant nearby That was how it would go that day because there was no other option then My mind couldn t get off from what Mr Patrick kept saying He always remember me about that, every single time he sees me Although I was yet to understand it That day went fast as expected It was already evening when Sonia s call came in She has always check on me, even though I never want to see her in "Good evening" that was the first thing she said immediately I picked up She was just too good "Good evening, how are you doing this evening?" I asked as if I really cared "Not really good, I expected your call since morning as you promised" she said I then remembered that I promised to call her just because I was tired the time she called "Am so sorry dear, I was occupied with thoughts" I apologized "No prob then" That was another good thing about her Very understandable "So is Mom around?" She asked referring to my own mother because she was aware that she normally visit me every weekend "She said that she wouldn t be able to come because she has a tight schedule this weekend" I replied "Oh my, I know that you can t cook, so how did you cope?" She asked "I bought food from the restaurant nearby" I replied "That means you will have to do it tomorrow?" She asked "Yes" I replied "Too bad, you really need to learn it" she said "Sure, Miss teacher" I said while we laughed together We did had a long and good conversation before I hung up I wished it was Zita at that moment The following morning, after brushing up, I brought out my dirty clothes before going to the restaurant as usual for the food but unfortunately, they didn t open that Sunday I have never been there on Sundays so I wouldn t know if it was normal for them not to open on Sundays I was seriously starving because I waited long before going for the food I had to try cooking anything that I would managed I went straight to the kitchen and brought out one sacket of noodles "Even ordinary noodles, I can t even cook" I said to myself I had to try it out I was about to start when my phone began to ring It was Sonia again I was really hungry, why would she be calling at that moment I picked it up and places it on loud speaker "Good morning" her sweet voice bumped out from the phone I just smiled "Good morning" I responded "Hope you have eaten something?" She asked I looked up really exhausted "They didn t open today" I said instead And turned On the gas "Oh my, so what are you going to eat?" She asked I brought out the pot "Am making noodles already" I replied as I tore the nylon I poured it inside "Wow, it will be better but can you really cook it?" She asked "I will try the best way I can" I responded "Oh really, bye then" she said and hung up It was unlike her I shifted my phone and focused on the food I cooked it the way it could go In few minutes time, I was done From the look, it was clear that an amateur prepared it I took it like that to the living room Since I was the only one in the big house, there was no need going to the dinning room I placed the food on the desk and took one spoon "It is not tasting like others" I said forming unsatisfied face Just then, the door bell rang "Who could that be?" I asked myself because I wasn t expecting anyone The door bell rang again "Oh, it might be Mr Patrick" I said and was about to take off the rubbish I prepared as food but the door got opened "Sorry, I have to come in" that was Sonia s voice as she walked in She was carrying a small nylon There was no means of hiding the food anymore I had to drop it back to continue "Ah, what s that?" She asked, referring to what I cooked "The noodles of course" I replied and sat, just to eat it like that "Are you really enjoying it?" She asked and walked closer to me "I have no other option" I said slowly "Let me see" she said as she dropped the nylon she was holding and collected the spoon from me She took one but spits it out immediately "That s too bad" she said and started laughing "What s funny?" I asked and pretended to be angry, as I tried collecting the spoon from her but she drew her hand backward "Sorry but don t take this again, it s too bad" she said She shifted it and stretched out her hand for the nylon she came with She took it and dropped it on the same table where I dropped my food She took out a flask "I personally prepared it for you because I had the feeling that this would happen" she said I couldn t say anything "I won t open it for you, I guess it will be better" she "Let me go ahead and do the dishes" she added and carried the noodles She first laughed before walking away I didn t waste time in opening the food because I was damn hungry Only the sent was fantastic I started getting it down I got to see the difference Few minutes later, I was done I waited for it to get down before I took the plate to the kitchen As I got there, everywhere was in order I placed the flask in the sink and raised it As I was done, my eyes caught something making some changes in the compound As in it was making moves I looked well and it was Sonia She was washing those my dirty clothes that I dropped, earlier in the morning I took the back entrance which I was sure, was where she followed "Thanks for the food" I said standing at the entrance She turned to look at me "Oh, you are done?" She asked "Yea" I replied "And?" She asked I was just confused because I didn t get it "Hope you wash it?" She asked while I smiled "At least I learned that" I replied ?????? …. Dorothy POV ?? That evening, I was in my room after getting discharged the previous day I couldn t wait to go to school after everything I remembered how David felt when I rejected his food He was really caring I was only trying to act as if I was still angry with him but I was trying so hard not to let the feelings get deep I felt pity for him My Uncle s knock on the door brought me back from the thought He walked in with my food and dropped it close to me "I just finished eating"I complained because it wasn t long since I finished eating "The doctor said that you should be eating very well because the medicine is strong" my Uncle responded "It s almost night" he added "I don t want to kill myself with food" I said He didn t reply, rather he arranged the food properly I had to force it Soon, I had to stop because I was totally exhausted The feeding was too much "Can you remember everything that happened the day you lost your gift?" My Uncle asked I wondered why "Not really, but any question from that day, I will be able to answer it" I replied as I waited for his question "Were you with David?" My Uncle asked "David wasn t in school" I replied "Where did he go?" He asked "That was when he travelled for his father s burial" I replied "Hmm" he said I guessed, he was short of questions "Why all this question?" I asked "There is something we call TP gum" he paused "TP gum?" I asked not getting him well "Yes, the doctor discovered it around your neck and it was responsible for the lost of gift and also for that shape that occurred on your neck" he replied Still, I was confused "How did it get inside my neck?" I asked "I think, he puts it inside your drink but unfortunately, it didn t completely melted that was why it hung on your neck instead of going inside" he explained and my mind started racing around on what really happened that day "Do you remember?" He asked "Yes, it was Bonny, I remembered that the drink he gave me that day was not sealed and after drinking it, I couldn t find the demon" I replied I remembered that he was acting strange the time I came out "Bonny? But why would he do such?" My Uncle asked "Am also confused" I responded I needed to think though "So have I gotten my gift back?" I asked "From that day he removed it to 7days, you will regain it in any of this days and it won t pass 7days" he replied I felt happy because I was getting it back ?????? …. David POV ?? What happened the previous day was what I couldn t take off my mind I wouldn t blame Dorothy because she was still scared and also her gift was no longer there So she wouldn t know when the demon shows up I remembered what Jenny did to me I couldn t figure it out I was surprised because I didn t seem to miss her Maybe because I don t really love her I was only trying to be considerate I walked outside and started walking down the street Maybe it could ease the whole thing Someone walked up to me and pleaded to join me It wasn t a big deal, so I allowed him We chatted as we walked He was really great in conversation He was lively His last word with me was that I should be careful I didn t know why The following day, I got to school Dorothy was already in school I couldn t hold my smile when I saw her I waved at her even though she ignored it The surprising part was that she was no longer where she normally stay with Bonny She was with Benita, Jason s cousin Another thing was that Jenny was back to her sit As in where we do sit together because on Friday, she avoided me to the extent that she refused sitting with me "Good morning" she greeted but I didn t reply her "Am sorry about what happened, I just wanted you to miss me but it seems like you didn t" she added when she noticed that I ignored her I couldn t help it but to smile "What do you want?" I asked trying to be hard "I want you to forgive me" she replied I smiled again Only her knows what she was doing but I suspected that she was up to something ?????? …. Dorothy POV ?? It was break period, I guessed it was the best time to talk with Bonny I walked straight to where he was "I want to talk with you" I said and walked out of the class I walked straight to where no one was Of course Bonny followed me immediately I made sure that I backed him because I was seriously angry "Why Are you this angry?" He asked even before I would say anything "What happened on that day you went to buy a drink for me?" I asked back "What?" He asked I couldn t tell if he was pretending or not "Are you working with her?" I asked "I don t understand" he said I had to turn "Stop pretending, what did you put in my drink?" I asked He could see that I wasn t joking "Oh, am sorry" he said "Why did you put it?" I asked "Ermm ermm" he stammered but I waited for him to say it "It s not what you are thinking" he said I was beginning to think if he was a demon or one of their workers "Well, I just want you to know that I want to end our friendship" "Never come close to me anymore, it s over between us" I added and left Although he was calling me but I ignored him He wanted to run after me but when he saw other students coming, he stopped I know it was harsh but I needed to get rid of bad ones around me Even David was better ….. …. Jenny POV ?? My sudden hatred for David was also unbelievable for me I had always hated people who have stained their hands with bloods I was only trying to pretend as if I wanted to come back for him So as to get what the plan takes My intention was for him to trust me again, then I will use the opportunity to expose him I knew that my life was at risk but I had to to that David seems to be an easy going person because he accepted my apology immediately Or would I say that it was because he still loves me That would make everything less hard for me After school, I drove straight to COP Kelly s office I gently went inside I knocked and he ordered me in Jason was already there I wondered when he left school "We are already discussing about it, get seated" COP Kelly said I sat with my serious face "So, tell us how it went" COP Kelly requested "It wasn t hard as I thought, he accepted me back" I replied "That s good" Jason said I knew that he was trying to say something but had nothing in mind "Okay then, you need to get closer to him but use your brain" COP Kelly said I nodded "Am here because of this information, I think I need to go now" I said standing up "No prob, thanks for the information" COP Kelly responded I smiled and walked to the door "Me too, I need to go" Jason said I cared less and went out I was almost close to my car when Jason rushed and stood before me I ignored him and tried walking away but he still, blocked me "Aren t we supposed to be together?" He asked smiling "No, just step out of the way" I replied trying to walk away He still did the same thing "Fate is trying to bring us together, stop being stubborn" Jason said I couldn t help it but to laugh "You and I know that we can never be together" I replied "Stop that act" I added ?????? …. Faith POV ?? We were watching Jason and Jenny through my mirror It was me, the demon and the queen mother I was seriously getting jealous the way things were going I knew that Jason was trying to play her but still, I want anyone to go closer to my man I wished to go there but I still want Jason to miss me The mirror suddenly went blank I turned properly and it was the demon who stopped it "I think we need to kill Jenny" the demon said looking at me as if she was reading my mind I looked down "We don t have anything to do with her" the queen mother responded "She will be useful to them later if we don t kill her now" the demon said "We are yet to deal with Dorothy, she is still alive" the queen mother said "She is useless now because she is like an empty container" the demon responded "Killing her doesn t mean anything" the demon added "As far as she still lives, our future is at risk" the queen mother said I was just listening to them because I had nothing to contribute "Even Jason" the queen mother added I wanted to talk but remembering her promise, I decided to stay mute "So what is the plan?" The demon asked "Let s watch their moves for the main time" the queen mother replied All my mind was on what would be happening since I couldn t see them If Jenny didn t stay clear, I would surely kill her ?????? …. Bonny POV ?? I got home that day really weak If I should loose Dorothy, then I had to achieve one thing Even if it was to have her on my bed or something that would make me not to look like a looser I had made lots of plans but none of them were accomplished I brought out my planning book I started drawing how things go My mind then was to get David and give him to Jason since I have failed twice I picked up my phone and called Jason "Do I still have a chance?" I asked "Which chance?" Jason asked back "I want to hand David over to you" I replied "You have tried so many times and still failed" he said "I only failed twice but I won t let it be three" I persuaded "How do you plan on doing that?" He asked "Just give me a go ahead order and leave the rest for me" I replied "This is your last chance" he said I never cared about what he wants to use him for But what I needed to prove was my capability "Can I have the address of where to bring him?" I asked "Late Mr chef s uncompleted building" he replied while I smiled "Consider it done by tomorrow" I said I also planned on moving outside the country, once I hands him over ?????? …. Dorothy POV ?? The following day, I woke up really sick It was hard for me to get down from my bed The wound I had on my neck was disturbing me I remembered that I don t take the prescription as instructed since it has finished My Uncle rushed to the hospital for the medicine In few minutes time, he came back with it After breakfast, I took it in I checked the time but it was already late I thought of what would happen at the school I wished that the demon doesn t show up Although, if I was to go to the school, I wouldn t know when it shows up I prayed that David was with the leaf since it was impossible for me to go that day My Uncle also said that he wouldn t go to market on time because he needs to take care of me, He started sweeping Even though I wish to help him but I couldn t My body was really weak The next thing that came into my mind was the so called TP gum Since I was bored, I needed some topics that would make me not to feel lonely I waited for my Uncle to finish, then I would bring it up ?????? …..David POV ?? That morning, I got to school What I first checked was where Dorothy used to stay It was only Bonny I guessed maybe she went out I waved at Bonny who waved back "Good morning" Jenny greeted just as I sat "Good morning, hope you are good?" I asked while she nodded "Can we go on a date?" She asked My mind ran to Zita That was how we got addicted to each other I would have to accept it, maybe it would ease some things The stress was too much "When and time?" I asked "On weekend, from morning" she replied while I smiled "No prob, fixed" I said During break period, Bonny met me and told me that he wanted to discuss something with me after school I wanted to ask him about Dorothy but remembering what happened at the hospital, I decided not to try it ?????? …. Bonny POV ?? After dismissal, I had already told David that I would drop him off So I told him to call his driver, and tell him not to come Of course, he did so I texted Jason if they were ready which they replied that they would wait for me there They kept telling me not to fail again Everyone was gone except me and David "Still, I don t know where we are going" he said "Am just surprised that you didn t ask me about Dorothy when you see that she didn t come today" I said "I was just wondering, although I didn t get the courage to ask" he replied
