Chapter 9 Sync up
Jason POV ??
The previous night experience was too hard to erase from my mind
I kept rethinking
And secondly, Dorothy
There was something extra ordinary about the girl and I was beginning to like her.
I thought, maybe she had a feeling for me, that s why she saved me
I just needed to examine her well
"Bonny need to step down from her" I concluded
The sound of my phone brought me back from the thought
It was Jenny
I forgot to call her
"Shit" I said picking up the phone
I inhale and exhale before picking up
"Hello babe" I said
"Hi, I waited for your call" she complained
"You didn t call to know if I arrived home safely" she added
"Am sorry babe but yesterday, I was really drunk" I replied
"So you started drinking when I left?" She asked
She really cared
"I was bored but still couldn t leave because I hosted it" I lied
I had to
"But hope nothing bad happened to you?" She asked
"Of course no" I replied
After much discussion, I hung up
It was boring talking with her
I was about to go through internet when Victor s call came in
"Bad ass" that was the first thing he said
I smiled and responded exactly the same thing
"So what sup about yesterday?" He asked
"Bonny disappointed us" I replied
"How?" He asked
"After when we were almost done, Zita interfered" I paused
"Bonny said that she insisted on dropping David off" I added
"Seems like they are getting more closer" Victor said
"Yes and we need to do something about it, as in bringing her out of the way" I said
"So how are you planning on that?" Victor asked
"By killing her" I suggested
"It doesn t make sense, killing her" Victor responded
"She will keep interfering" I said
"Let me handle her" Victor said
"You know that I don t like delays" I responded

…. Dorothy POV ??
I got to the cafeteria and walked straight to the waiters
I made my order and waited patiently for it
"Haha, no that s not true" a female voice laughed behind me
The voice was familiar
I turned around and see David and Zita chatting
Zita couldn t stop laughing
From the thing, you can tell that something must be going on between them
I just wished nothing bad happens to Zita
"Do you know them?" One of the waiters asked me
I turned immediately and it happens to be that my order was ready
"No" I said shaking my head
I just had to lie because I don t know why she asked
And my dress was bad for them to see me on it
"They have been laughing since they came, I wish mine is like that" she said
I felt for her
I decided to pick my order and go but I happened to hear their noise again
I collected the order and turned
David was already looking around
I guess, he felt the presence of the demon
The demon s noise suddenly stopped
David maintained
I walked closer to where they were
Luckily I had a face cap and they were deep in the discussion making them not to notice me
I stylishly sat down and dropped the leaf close to David
I stood up and left immediately
??????
…. David POV ??
I didn t know what really happened
The demon suddenly stopped
It was hard to figure out why
I fastened up our date
It was really great and memorable
Zita drove me home
We bidded goodbye to each other and they left
I walked in
The demon was just standing there starring at me
"Better don t try it" I said as I walked passed it
"Am just giving you a chance, better call it off" it said from behind
??????
….. Dorothy POV ??
I found myself in a dark room
Different noise was coming from different angles
I couldn t see where I was and what am stepping on
Human bodies were littered all over the room
"Who is here!?" I shouted but my echoes shouted back
It was really scary
"Please help me!" I heard a voice from far
I started running to that direction
I stumbled so many times but I didn t stop
I could see light from the front
I kept running until I slipped my legs and fell down
I managed to stand up
I turned the water that slipped me down, I touched it and brought it closer to the light
It was blood
My eyes widened
I followed the trace of the blood and it came from a room at my right hand side
I walked closer to it and opened it
And behold it was a demon eating someone up
My eyes widened more as I looked closely to the victim
It was Zita
"Zita!" I screamed as the demon turned to my direction
I was about to turn when it attacked me
"Jesus!!" I screamed jumping up from my bed
It was a dream
My door got opened
I wanted to run when my Uncle rushed in
"What s the problem?" He asked
"I saw the demon eating the girl up in my dream" I replied
"Am really scared uncle" I added
"I think, Only love can free the guy from the demon entirely" my uncle said
"But I saw it eating her" I said
"Am scared maybe this dream might come true" I added
"That will happen if only the guy doesn t love her that much" my uncle said
…..
….. Jason POV ??
On Monday morning, I woke up really early than before
I got prepared even before the breakfast
I sat in the dinning chair and waited for my breakfast
Our house help had to make mine fast and served me
My Mom in the other hand was surprised seeing the change
She wasn t yet prepared for work
"Did something actually happened at the get together?" My Mom asked as she couldn t control the doubt
"How do you mean Mom?" I intentionally returned the question
"I have been observing you since Saturday, you have changed" she replied
I had to smile
My mind ran back at the get together
I could remember that I was drunk but I got back to normal immediately I dodged the knife
And as for Dorothy, I had the feeling that she was something else
That was why I wanted to pick her up
Maybe her mind might come back to normal and she would tell me the truth
"Nothing" I replied smiling
"You like scolding your driver and the house help but since Saturday, you have not tried it" my Mom said again
I know what she was capable of doing and she wouldn t quit if she didn t get what she wants
I ignored her instead and rushed my food
"Is it because of a girl?" She asked again
My food was almost finished and I had lost appetite
"Mom am off to school" I said standing up
I took my bag
"Goodbye Mom" I added
She was saying something but I wasn t ready to listen to it
I walked straight, outside
My car was already set
I entered
"I will have to go and pick someone before going to school" I said while my driver nodded
He ignited the engine and drove off
??????
…… Dorothy POV ??
I was already prepared for school but I had to help my uncle with some things before leaving
The dream kept flashing back on my mind
Soon, I was done
"Uncle am leaving" I shouted because he was at the backyard
He ran to the front just as he heard my voice
"Good, remember to give him the leaf" my Uncle said
"David is still hiding it from me, he thought am not aware of the demon" I responded
"Okay then, put the leaf in his bag, and remember" my uncle paused
"Don t let him know that you puts it and don t put it where he would see it easily" he added while I nodded in agreement
"You need to be going to store in time, I noticed that early morning market has a lot of customers" I said
"Miss advicer, I have heard you, start going before the bus leaves" he said
I was about to leave when I car drove to our small gate that even if you stand at our living room entrance door, you can see anyone behind the gate
I remembered the car as Jason s car
"What s he doing here?" I asked myself
I walked down to the gate and my uncle did the same
I unlocked it because it was close
"Good morning sir" Jason greeted my uncle
"Good morning young man, I can see that both of you are in the same school from your uniform, so what are you doing here instead of being in school?" My Uncle asked
"Actually sir, I was the one who dropped her yesterday, so since I noticed that she doesn t have a private car, I decided to pick her for school" Jason replied
"Oh, that s good of you, thank you my son" my Uncle said
We later left after much talk they had, although it wasn t a big deal
"You always act cool in school but……" Jason tried saying but I interrupted him
"Better stop, I know that you are filled with insults, please don t come to pick me up again" I said getting pissed off
"You should have at least let me finish" he said
"I don t have to, I know how you rich kids behaves" I striked again
"That wasn t my intention" he said but I ignored him and focused on the window
"Can you tell me what really happened yesterday?" He suddenly asked
"You were the victim, so why are you asking me?" I returned the question
"I learnt that none of the workers were at duty during the incident, but you said that someone told you about her" he paused
It was getting that my lies wasn t good enough
"So how come you meet the person?" He asked
"Maybe it just happened" I lied
"Or do you have extra ordinary power" he asked
I pretended not to be moved
"Better stop this" I said instead
"And also, the demon supposed to attack me on my way home and I even forgot that but it didn t" he said
I remembered that I dropped one of the leafs in his car the previous night
Instead of saying anything, I ignored him
"Good then, I like you somehow that s why am curious" he added looking at me but I didn t make any attempt to turn
I knew him already as a playboy
Even how Jenny get to trust him was also bothering me
"I have someone else" I said though I wasn t sure
"Is it Bonny?" He asked but I didn t reply him
"Don t think far" he said as he focused forward
"Am dropping you at the gate so that people won t think that we are dating" he added
I checked my time, it was already late
??????
….. David POV ??
I arrived earlier than before
Zita has already told me that she wouldn t be coming that day
She had an errand to run
Dorothy was not yet in school
It was unlike her
She normally come early before everyone
Jason also was not yet in school
I thought maybe he wouldn t come
I picked my text book and went to Jenny
"Hi" I greeted and sat close to her
Although we had greeted before
"Hi" she responded adjusting for me to sit well
"In biology, I have problem in this particular topic, can you help?" I asked her pointing at a topic which was somehow difficult for me
"Oh, okay" she simply said and started teaching
Her elaboration was perfect and understandable
We were almost done when someone stood before us
We didn t notice him from the door because we were busy bending our heads
We raised it together and it was Jason
I gently stood up and walked to my seat
Jenny couldn t say anything
Just then, Dorothy walked in
It was suspicious to me, I don t know about others
"Hi, Good Morning" Dorothy greeted and sat
"Good morning, why did you come late today?" I asked her
"I had to help my Uncle with some things" she replied
I didn t buy that
"Is Jason also helping?" I asked
I guess she understands what I meant
She could tell that I noticed them
"Don t say that"
During the break period, we all went out as usual
"Why is Zita not in school?" Dorothy asked on our way to the school cafeteria
"She said that she has an errand to run" I replied
"Do you really love her?" She asked
I became mute
Does it mean that she likes me and was probably feeling jealous? I asked myself but no one to reply
"Am just scared ?, as in I can t tell" I replied because I didn t want her to feel bad
Immediately we sat, Dorothy excused herself and walked out
??????
….. Zita POV ??
It was already Friday, David s birthday
I had made lots of surprises for him in the school
Joy was too much
I couldn t control it
I dressed up for school
Out of joy, I lost appetite
I ate a little and left for school
It was just exciting that we arrived at the same time
David and me
We walked in chatting and laughing
I was really feeling the chemistry
We got in
During the break period, we all went out as usual
Bonny also joined us
"So bro, where are we coming, I mean for your birthday celebration?" Bonny asked in the middle of the conversation
I wondered how he got to know that
I would think that it was Dorothy, but she seems not being good with Bonny s presence
I guess it irritates her
"I never thought of celebrating it in somewhere or somehow big but I think I will do it in my house" David replied
I couldn t stop smiling
"So, how are we going to know your house?" Bonny asked
"I will see to that" David replied smiling
We were almost done when Bonny left us
??????
….. Bonny POV ??
I walked straight to JAVS special room
They were playing their games as usual
"Any information?" Jason asked
He was the only person who was more interested in that
He really wants to deal with David
"His birthday is today" I said
"Today?" Victor asked
"Yes" I replied
"But no one is aware of that" Sam said
"He doesn t want to celebrate it as supposed"
"He doesn t want to tell anyone" I added
"But he told you?" Andy indirectly asked
"He didn t, I must tell that he was surprised that I know it" I replied
"So where is he hosting the party, I think we need to surprise him?" Jason asked
"His house and he is planning on celebrating it tomorrow" I replied
"That will surely favor us because we will have chances" Jason said
"But there s a problem" I said
"Which is?" Andy asked
"Zita, I think we need to do something about her, she will stand on our way" I replied
"Am planning on getting rid of her" Jason said
"Don t worry, leave her for me" Victor interrupted
His face was saying something
??????
….. Zita POV ??
I was thinking on how to take David to where his surprise was
I wouldn t like Dorothy to be aware of it until David has seen it
Everyone was present in the class except Jason
Soon, a junior student came and informed Dorothy that a teacher sent for her
Just as she left, I rushed to her position
"You nearly scared me" David said smiling
"I want to surprise you more" I said
"How?" David asked
"Come with me" I said as I dragged his hand
He respected and followed me
"Where are we going?" He asked
"It s a surprise" I replied and continued walking
??????
….. Jason POV ??
I was walking out from our special room when I sighted Zita and David walking hand to hand
I wanted to ignore them but I remembered that David s birthday was that day
I decided to follow them
I rushed after them
I was still at the stairs when they passed out from the front and followed the back which lead to the school farm
I rushed as fast as my legs could carry me but they were out of my sight
I didn t give up as I walked down inside the bushy farm
??????
….. Dorothy POV ??
"So you need to study hard in that particular subject" our class mistress advised
I had a problem with maths
It was really hard for me even though David knows a little about it
According to my class mistress, she said that the maths was my only problem
Other subjects was good except maths
"You know that we don t have time regarding to your exam" she added
"I will try my best, I won t disappoint you" I said
I started hearing the demon s noise again
I couldn t figure out where exactly it was coming from
"What s the problem?" My class mistress asked because she noticed the look
"Oh nothing, am just calculating" I lied when I remembered that I placed the leaf in David s bag
It would definitely chase it away
??????
….. David POV ??
We stopped in the middle of the school farm
I was still confused because it was somehow dark
"What s going on?" I asked Zita
"Just walk in a little more" she said
I walked in and stopped when she asked me to
I trusted her, so there was nothing to fear about
She pressed something beside her as everywhere returned with a full light
Where I stood was decorated with love shape
A light shown just right above my head
I looked up as it was written
' HAPPY BIRTHDAY '
I couldn t hold the smile
"Happy birthday" Zita finally said
I couldn t believe the surprise
Even in the school
I had never been to that kind of place since I came to that school
"I love you" I said
"I love you too" Zita responded
I made a step forward while she did the same
I knew what would happen next and I was ready for it
For kids
I was almost close to her when the wind storm started
"Oh shit" I said looking around
"What s the problem?" Zita asked
Just then, the whole light went off
It was left with a reflection of light direct from sky
"Please Zita run away!" I shouted almost crying
"I don t understand" Zita responded
"Please leave first, I will ex……" The demon hooked me from completing it
It was already possessing me
Zita was busy shouting my name when she noticed that I was vibrating
She rushed closer to me and was about to hold me when I turned looking at her
"Jesus!!" She screamed as her legs slipped
She wanted to run but it was already late as I dragged her close to me
I was totally a different person
The claws has completed its transformation
"Please don t kill me" Zita said
I was not the one there
It has taken over me completely
I raised up my hand
My first direction was through her chest and it pierced
She screamed
"Help!!"
I brought out my claw as bloods splashed everywhere
I targeted her forehead and did the same
She gave up to ghost
I heard a running footsteps coming
It stopped
I was already backing that direction
I turned to take a look at who it was
Even at the form, I could still remember who is who
It was Jason
He screamed and ran out
…..
….. Jason POV ??
I couldn t believe what I saw
David was a vampire
I was scared
I stopped at a spot when I noticed that he was no longer after me
I took my phone and called my Uncle
C O P Kelly
"Jason" he said immediately he picked up the phone
That has been how he used to start, whenever we want to discuss things on phone
"Uncle, there is a very big problem" I said
"What happened?" He asked
"A beast attacked one of our students" I replied
I didn t want to give him the full details
"What!!!" He shouted
I could tell that he stood up because there was a sound of chair that sounds as if it fell down
"Where in particular?" He asked
"In the school farm" I replied
"I will be there now" he said and hung up
I looked around before running out of the farm
I ran to the front and maintained to be cool
I started walking confidentially but I didn t stop looking back as I walks
I looked one more time when I bumped into someone
My heart skipped a beat
I turned and it was Jenny
"I have been looking for you, was seriously worried"
"Where have you been?" She asked
It was true that I don t really love Jenny like I claimed but I wouldn t want her to die not when she has promised me her virginity
"Jenny you need to stay away from David" I said looking at her directly to the eyes
"David is just a friend of mine so you don t have to think far" she responded thinking that I was talking about relationship
"Am not cheap, come out of it" she added
"David is not a human, he is a vampire" I said
Just then, a sound of siren was heard
I turned to take a look
Jenny was already in the position of seeing them
Police cars drove in, along with an ambulance
"Too fast, better" I said
"What s going on?" Jenny asked
"You will get to see" I replied
COP Kelly got down from the car and led them to the farm
"David" Jenny called
I turned to see if he was already there but to my greatest surprise, there he was
With an innocent face
There was no stain of blood on his face, cloth or hands
I could remember that the blood splashed all over his body but how could it have gone
I guess, I was wrong
"Jason, here is David" Jenny said
I couldn t utter a word because I was still confused
??????
….. Dorothy POV ??
I was still in my Mistress office when police and an ambulance drove into the compound
"What s happening?" My mistress asked
"Seriously, I don t know" I replied
Just then, I heard the demon noise as it left the school
"Zita" I said to myself as I stood up and rushed out
Everywhere was already filled with students
I rushed upstairs and searched everywhere for David and Zita but there was no sign of any of them
I checked David s bag and the leaf was still in it
"Oh no" I said rushing down
I wouldn t want to believe that something bad happened
I stood at the entrance as I watched what was happening
Soon, a dead body was brought out
They lay it on a wide and straight wood
They covered it with a white cloth as they walked out from the back
I remembered when I went to the school farm and that was where the demon attacked me
I rushed to where they were, with the body
I slightly opened it
"Jesus!!" I screamed jumping back
I held my chest as I sobbed
Slowly
I turned in search of David
I saw him standing at the Hall s window looking at the body
Tears filled his eyes
"How could you" I said inwardly
The pain was much
Zita was the perfect type of person
She was really caring and loving
She wasn t selfish
She doesn t get jealous when she sees me with David
??????
….. Victor POV ??
I was in the special room when a junior student rushed in
Even without knocking
He was the only one who knows about what I really had for Zita because he was my school son
I had to give him gist and also get him updated
"What s the problem?" I asked surprisedly about how he acted
"Zita" he said trying to catch up his breath
I stood up without wasting time
"What about her?" I asked walking closer to him
"She was found dead at the school farm" he replied
"What!??!" I asked not believing it
"The body is still downstairs" he replied
I rushed out
I wouldn t accept it as true
I wouldn t afford to lose Zita
I stopped at the entrance when I saw a body laying down on something that looks like a flat table and was covered with white cloth
Four men were standing at the four edges of the table with their nose mask
The principal squatted before the body
He later stood up and signalled them to carry the body as he left for his office
I rushed to them and they stopped
I was praying that it shouldn t be her while I opened it slightly
To my greatest surprise, it was her
"Zita!!!!!!!" I shouted as my whole eyes were soaked with tears
I kneeled down as I watched them put her to their ambulance and drove off
"Let s get rid of her" that was the first thing that ran into my mind
Jason had planned that already
"Jason" I said as I turned and rushed him with a great speed
Jenny looked scared because she was holding Jason
Really tight
I ignored that
I gave Jason an unexpected blow and he fell down
He stood up immediately
I had known that I was stronger than him
I rushed him again
He wanted to fight back but I was faster
I punched him severally before we were separated
