Chapter 1 Cynic

…..Jenny POV ?? I watched myself on the big standing mirror in my room admiring my figure "Who wouldn t die for it?" I asked myself smiling as I touched my buttocks Soon I noticed a shadow in the mirror I turned in fear to see if anyone was standing beside me but there was no one there I breaths out turning to the mirror again and the shadow was still there I did the same thing but there was still no one I focused back on the mirror I couldn t figure it out, so I brought my face closer to the mirror Just then, a hand bumped out from the mirror and get held of my neck I struggled to free myself but the hand was stronger I couldn t shout because the hand crossed my mouth I wonder who or what could have that kind of hand that would be too long for covering both my mouth and around my neck I managed to bring up my hand and get hold of he s but I felt thorns coming out of it It pierced my hand, forcing me to take off my hands from he s I could feel blood rushing out from my hands but I couldn t see it I felt a claw growing from its finger My eyes widened a little I saw a face coming out of the mirror His face was filled with bloods His teeth was a black color as bloods were flowing down from it His claw finds its way to my neck as we both screamed together I jumped up from my bed, breathing heavily It was a dream My door was pushed opened as my Mom rushed inside Fear was written all over her face She sat beside me I was seriously sweating "What is the problem?" My Mom asked holding my shoulder "I had a terrible dream" I replied still thinking of the image I saw in the dream "Dream? By this time?" My Mom asked I looked at the wall clock in my room It was already morning I couldn t believe it Though it was Saturday but I don t normally wake up late I took my time in explaining my Mom what the dream was all about as she demanded "It s really a terrible dream but did you get to see the face very well?" My Mom asked after the explanation "No, it was covered with bloods, or looks like someone who has been sucking bloods right from birth" I replied "Strange" my Mom said …… Oh here we go, sorry I didn t get to introduce myself on time because the dream was something else ? My name is Jenny Bernard Am 19 of age and the only daughter and child of my parents Mr and Mrs Bernard I grew up with my Mom who cares for me a lot My Dad was a business man He took his business serious than any other things but he still claims that he loves and cares for me As heart can not be read, I can t tell I only got the opportunity to see him once in every week and that was on weekends which he do visit us and spoil us with gifts I don t use to wonder why I was the only child since it was obvious ? I am a student of the most popular school in Paris and was also among the best students That s all for now ?????? ……. Domina POV ?? I woke up this morning really tired I have never for once like this steady transfer Am already getting sick of it I got down from my bed and went straight downstairs to the dinning room because I was damn hungry I was still on the stairs when my fingers started ceasing I couldn t feel my legs as I tried hard to move it but it wasn t helping This was the second time am experiencing this same thing since we came over to Paris Since I couldn t help it anymore, I managed to shout "Dad!" I shouted as I fell down and rolled down from the stairs My parents rushed out from their room as they looked down from the top Seeing me vibrating on the floor My Mom was already on her fitting, ready for work "Domina!" They shouted together as they rushed down to where I was "Oh no, not again" my Dad said and lifted me up, carrying me like a bride "Get me the car key" my Dad said referring to my Mom who rushed upstairs while my Dad finds his way out Our housemaid opened the door for him Although I was still vibrating but he held me very well Our gateman saw what was happening, he doesn t need to be informed as he opened the gate My Mom came out with the car key and opened the back door My Dad placed me inside while my Mom entered My Dad got to the driver s seat He ignited the engine and revised ……. Okay now My name is Domina Am 20 of age Am the second son and the favorite I lives with my parents while my senior brother was living on his own My Dad works as an investigator that s why he is always transferred from countries to countries Meanwhile my Mom has a business she s managing Her business has branches in different countries as well So it wasn t a hard time for her I think that s all for now ?????? ……. Dorothy POV ?? I was admitted in Marcus General Hospital for 2days now after my last encounter with Spirits I was born with a gift of seeing demons but my spirit wasn t strong enough to stand before them My priest do advise me not to be scared whenever I see them That they could only defeat me once my heart skipped a beat when I see them I have tried so hard to stand them but still I couldn t I was still thinking about how the last one happened when a car with a great speed drove into the hospital I could hear a woman shouting "help" The nurses rushed to their attention I managed to peeped through the window and saw a guy who was rolled with the rolling seat, rushing him inside I wondered what was happening My door was open and my doctor walked in "How are you feeling this morning?" She asked smiling "Am feeling better" I replied smiling She nodded and checked me out smiling "Who was the guy?" I asked feeling concerned "Who?" She returned the question I guess she was confused "The guy that was just rushed in" I replied looking outside "Oh, I guess he has an attack but my assistant is going to attend to him" she responded I didn t get her but I didn t want to push further She came closer to me as she raised one of my eyelids I felt some shadow as it rushed behind my window making me to turn to that direction but it didn t show up again I could still feel its presence in the compound "What s the problem?" My doctor asked "I think one was here" I replied as her face changed …… So it s for me My name is Dorothy 19 of age I lives with my Uncle I was born into an average family who couldn t Carter for us all So I was asked to stay with my Uncle who was also the same as us but haven t gotten married tho … I don t know if I should say I was possessed but I do see spirits I have encountered many of them but I lacked the power of fighting them That s it for now ?????? …… Domina POV ?? I was injected with a something I know nothing about as my body system calmed down The doctor examined me before walking out I looked at my Mom starring at me I could see worried written all over her face All of a sudden, I felt something entering inside me I struggled with it but it was having its way "Doctor! Doctor!" That was my Mom voice shouting My chest was pushing up and down I felt them holding me tight but the strength I possessed then was stronger than them I pushed them away from me and stood up I regained myself immediately as I started breathing heavily Everyone was just standing, looking at me Meanwhile I couldn t figure out what really happened but I felt myself back to normal "Mom, am ready to go" I said My Mom turned to the doctor who understands her and walked closer to me gently He placed his threstescope and examined me "He is normal" he said No one believes that but I ignored them and walked out of the hospital room I felt like sucking bloods ?? ????? …… Dorothy POV ?? My doctor was done with me She said that I would be discharged that afternoon when my Uncle comes I was reading from a paper that I saw in the hospital room when I felt the presence of that same demon but this time around, it was not far from where I was I needed to try that style my priest thought me I rushed outside of the room and I could feel the spirit moving outside I couldn t see nor hear anything from it anymore but a noise was coming out from the vehicle which was leaving the hospital I can t tell if it was it And stopping them but later it wasn t there might make them think I was mad My doctor rushed to where I was standing "What s the problem?" She asked "It was here but it is hiding somewhere" I replied looking around Domina POV It has been three days after what happened at the hospital, I never felt the same attack which normally happened after two days Rather, I found myself being thirsty for bloods I was in my room that morning, feeling lazy I wouldn t stand up from my bed even though I knew it had passed time for breakfast A knock came to my door "Shit! I don t need disturbance" I said under my breath but remained mute The knock came again and again "I am reading!" I shouted but the door got opened and my Mom walked in "What sort of laziness is that?" My Mom asked as she walked closer to my bed while I sat properly "Mom am coming, is it not just to eat?" I returned the question "I wonder what have come over you, ever since the last attack, you have been very lazy" "You woke up late and go to bed early, what s really wrong with you!!" My Mom shouted I don t like it when someone shouts at me I felt my tongue drying Shit, I was in need of blood She was saying something but I couldn t figure it out because I was very busy examining her blood through her skin, with my inner eyes "Am talking to you!" She tapped me as I returned to myself but still, I felt like sucking bloods I had to leave the house or I would loose the control I stood up, ignoring what my Mom was saying I walked to the bathroom and washed my face My Mom was saying something when I came out but I gave her deaf ears as I took my T-shirt Luckily I was wearing a short which I felt lazy on removing the previous night She kept shouting I guess she was already frustrated I couldn t utter a word because if I do, that would be just biting her My mouth was seriously getting dry I took my car key and went outside the room "Oh God! What have come over him" I heard my Mom said from inside I stood for a while, then shook my head and went down Straight to my car I signalled the gateman while he opened the gate I don t know where to go but I know that there must be ?????? …..Jenny POV ?? I was already running late for school I rushed to my bathroom, brushed my teeth and was taking my bath when my sponge touched somewhere on my neck and it hurts "Shit" I said as I dropped the sponge I splashed water around the spot that hurts me I walked out from under the shower and went to the wall mirror which was moulted at the sink where I do brush I brought my neck closer My mind ran to the dream and it was exactly at the same place where its claw foot pierced during the dream "But how come?" I asked myself "I didn t feel it all this while" I said "Strange" I added I was already getting scared when I remembered the dream I rushed under the shower and took a quick bath I rushed to my room cleaning myself up I got dressed up for school and rushed out with my bag "Good Morning small ma am, please Can I clean your room now?" That was our house help voice She was actually behind me I comport myself before turning "Yes you can" I replied "It s already late for school" she said while I smiled "The school is just opening today, so there s no point in being so early, beside there will be no activity today" I responded still maintaining the smile She smiled back before nodding I felt relaxed when I saw my Mom at the dinning table already preparing to eat She was ready for work as well "I thought you don t want to come out today" my Mom said when she noticed my presence I smiled and drew a seat out "Good Morning Mom" I greeted instead as I sat She was just looking at me I don t know what she was staring at but I made sure that I hides that mark that strange thing gave me "Are you going to school today?" She asked while I did a sigh of relief Ω My driver dropped me in the school compound, revised and drove off I stood there for a while observing the movement of the students I smiled "We are back again" I said as I matched inside the building I walked through the corridors, greeting each and everyone I saw That s just me I turned to the last corridor that led to our class and there stood my Jason My smile widened I could see he s as well ± Jason was my boyfriend He was very handsome but stubborn and too bossy Still, most of the students wished they were dating him but the luck was on my side He came from a wealthy family His father was among the richest men in the country, so I wouldn t blame him for being bossy He has a sharp eyes and a vibrant brain on thinking ± He spread his hands while I rushed and hugged him "I missed you so much my love" He said still holding me "I missed you too" I responded while he released me "What s that?" He asked touching that place I was hurt "It was an accident" I lied "Tell me, who did this to you?" He asked That s what I also hates about him He always feel like protecting me He doesn t mess with me "Not this morning Jason, I told you, it was an accidental" I said feeling irritated I had to drag him in with me ?????? ……Dorothy POV ?? Three days after the treatment, my uncle and I went to the hospital for confirmation "She is perfect now" my doctor said after examining me She was referring to my uncle who nodded smiling "You need to stay away from horror movies and dark area" the doctor added as she faced me I just had to nodded "Thank you doctor, we will be on our way" my uncle said while the doctor nodded We all stood up They shook hands with each other and we excused ourselves "So Uncle, when am I resuming for school?" I asked him when we were at the gate "Am still planning on that, you know market has been very bad this days" he replied I felt disappointed I really missed school I wasn t able to finish on the previous term due to the same money issue I hardly make friends because they normally look down on average class families "I really need to complete my education uncle, please" I begged, as if it was his fault Or that he might change something "Do you know what" my uncle started By then, we were already outside the compound and was trecking home since my uncle s means of transportation had a problem Too many problems He was about to start when I felt the presence of a demon A car drove passed us while the demon flew on the air I was watching it and it flew passed the hospital Meanwhile the car drove in "What s the problem, I have been talking to you" my uncle asked as he tapped me "One of them was here" I replied "One of what?" My uncle asked I wonder if he was joking for not getting what I meant "The demons" I responded but I couldn t take off my eyes from the back I was still watching where the demon flew to when it flew back and with a great speed, it entered the hospital "Shit!" I shouted as I rushed back "What!" My uncle shouted, running after me ?????? …… Domina POV ?? I was almost closed to the hospital when I felt my real self again I wondered why I was going to the hospital I checked through the side mirror, and saw that the lady who I drove passed was looking at my direction I don t know if she was suspecting something I don t really know why but in order not to make it more suspicious, I decided to enter inside the hospital I parked at the parking spot just to wait, maybe the lady would go I was still sitting in my car when I started feeling that same wind I felt three days ago But this time around, I didn t struggle with it as it entered freely Suddenly, I started feeling thirsty for blood I got down from my car and walked inside the building I could smell fresh blood from inside but I don t really know where exactly it was I walked through the corridors, locating the blood with my nose Nurses who passed me would ask who I want to see but I wouldn t mind them I got to a door where the blood was I could tell from the smell The door was half opened I stopped and used my side eye to peep And there was a new baby on a bed waving his hands left and right I turned around checking very well and there was no one coming I rushed in and closed the door I looked around the room and couldn t find the mother of the baby I was really hungry of his blood I felt a claw growing up from my fingers I smiled and bent closer to the baby I firstly used my finger to divide his heart into two as blood bumped into my mouth I brought out my tongue and licked it I used my fingers in butchering his body, giving me chance in getting more bloods ?????? ….. Dorothy POV ?? I was just walking around the whole building as the demon kept shifting I stood one place and was calculating the exact place the demon was I narrowed my eyes when I sighted the room where the demon was I rushed to the door, I wanted to push it open but decided to wait a bit I could hear its sounds I pushed the door a little, just not to make noise but the door couldn t open Just then, the sound stopped I had to force the door since it has noticed my presence I opened it and couldn t believe what I saw I little baby boy, being butchered on his bed I screamed Even my uncle shouted The door made another move and that was the male doctor "Jesus!" He screamed on seeing that My eyes caught a line that was drawn by blood It entered in a room which looks like another patient s room "Where is this?" I asked pointing at the door "That s the washroom" the male doctor replied I guess it must be there I walked closer to the door and I could hear that same sounds that demons do make anytime I had an encounter with them Domina POV I was very fast in rushing into a room I saw at left hand side of the room forgetting that my fingers were filled with bloods as it makes a line to the room I couldn t see them from the room when I heard them screamed I was hearing everything they were saying as my I fixed my gaze at the door The doctor said that the baby s mother died after giving birth to him I could say, that s why there was no one in the room when I entered A lady s voice came in, asking about the room I was in I was just thinking on what to do next when I felt my real self back again I had only one thing in mind that moment, which was to wash my hands and face Maybe I could pretend but strangely, the whole bloods were no more I couldn t believe it I heard a footsteps coming closer to the door and I turned with a great speed, expecting them because I no other option The door knob was held, making me to widened my eyes ?????? …… Dorothy POV ?? As I held the door knob, It was half opened when I felt the demon flew passed the window I turned immediately just to be sure Of course it and it passed again "What s that?" My doctor asked I ignored her and rushed to the entrance I pushed the door opened running out while they ran after me "What happened?" "Is she mad?" That was all I could hear That s why I hate this gift but I had to ignore them I could feel the spirit at the main entrance downstairs I ran as fast as I could Some people tried stopping me but I managed to dodge them I got to the entrance but the demon was gone
