Chapter 21. Warnings On The Cell Wall
Sure that Lexie had not escaped this time, Chase finally left her the following morning.Enquiring about Lexie was the first thing Mr. Halls did once he got to his office. But he rather questioned Chase with an intent gaze and Chase understood immediately."I watched her throughout the night so she couldn't steal a chance to escape," Chase announced proudly with relief and joy gleaming in his left eye.With a glance at the bandage on Chase's right eye, Mr. Halls asked, "Is the injury that bad?"His superior must be in a good frame of mind to care about his injury for the first time. "Well, it hurts," Chase shrugged. "I just hope it hasn't blinded me."The man only shrugged and said, "Bring the girl."•°•°•°•°•Walking through the hallway to the cell, Chase was clapping, calling her name all along, "It's time! It's time, b!tch!" But she didn't respond. From afar, she appeared to be sleeping. "Hey, Lexie! Wake up!"He got to the cell and shook the gate, "Wake up, Lexie! Are you still as

Chapter 22. Twisted Evidence
With curiosity and terror glinting in Mr. Halls' eyes, he was gazing expectantly at the door when another sergeant, Lucia, walked in."Sir!" She saluted firmly. "There's this lady, Chloe Jones, who wishes to speak with you.""A lady?" He echoed the blonde sergeant. "What did she say?""She said Lexie's her niece," Lucia said. "And she wanna speak with you. She's in a fit of panic, sir."A fit of panic. Mr. Halls sighed, feeling distressed and exhausted. The whole thing was complicated. Lexie had never mentioned she had an aunt. He thought and heaved a sigh again. " Let her in, then…" This was unusual.***In no time, a tall brown-haired lady in a short sleeveless free gown walked into his office. Not like he cared but she was stunning like her niece, Lexie. No doubt about them being related 'cause they look alike. But her countenance was grave."Do have a seat." Mr. Halls gesticulated to the chair across from him, smiling with just a side of his lips slightly pulled, wondering what sh

Chapter 23. The Devil's Full Return
Neither Chase nor Mr. Halls could take their thoughts off the mystery behind Lexie's unpredictable death. They'd both listened to Lexie's record, the one Chase recorded last night before she passed away…and now someone else has confirmed that there's a supernatural entity behind this. The Lady.It's time for the truth about Lexie to unfold. Mr. Halls thought. This was the most difficult case he'd ever handled in his entire life."Could I at least speak with Lexie?" Chloe asked and both men exchanged glances.Oh God! How would they go about this?Rubbing his forehead with his right hand, Mr Halls sighed. "Oh, yeah. But we gotta finish talking and conclude."The way her blue eyes were blazing showed she wasn't comfortable with the idea but she sat still."Do you have evidence to prove that Lexie called you?" Mr. Halls asked. "And to prove you're her relation? 'Cause we can't trust anyone as it stands now."Damn! She rolled her eyes. "Evidence? What kinda evidence?""Like a record or som

Chapter 24. The Devil's Full Return 2.
"Hey, ma'am!" The men chorused in the dark."Are you alright??!" Mr. Halls asked and the light suddenly turned on again, revealing their bewildered gazes, especially Chloe's.She was so alarmed. "D…did you touch me?" She asked Chase who frowned at her."Why would I?" He asked with a puzzled look. "What do you mean?""I felt something strange…" Chloe said quiveringly, examining her chest and cheek with her fingers. "Someone touched me. I…I felt the hand…it was ice cold."Having heard this, Mr. Halls recollected what he'd seen earlier—that black hand with long angled nails creeping into his office before vanishing in split seconds.'Was that the lady?' He wondered within him.At this point, Chloe had flushed red as she kept touching where it hurt. "My whole body hurts!" She shrieked severally. "My face hurts. Something isn't right…""There's another record you must listen to." Mr. Halls told her. "It's similar to what Lexie told you though." He used Chase's phone to replay last night's

Chapter 25. Midnight Torment
Groaning in pain, Chase got on his feet, and his hands involuntarily flew to his bleeding and aching chest. Taking a deep breath, his body trembled as sharp excruciating pain rippled in his chest. The fear that what had happened to Chloe might happen to him ignited a fever in him.Staggering away, aiming for the exit, blood was dropping randomly on the floor.At this point, the monster's eyes flung open.Chase plumped into his vehicle and shut the door faintly. Inserting the car key, his hand was twitching such that the key fell off.The monster had got out of Mr. Halls' office and was licking the blood on the floor, grunting ferociously all along, following the blood imprints till it arrived at the exit. Mouth wide, it let out a ferocious howl that drove chills down Chase's spine and he quickly turned the key but the engine didn't respond.'Oh no! No no no! Not now!'With a fit of panic and alarm, Chase was turning the key left to right, and furiously banging on the steering, "Com'n!

Sobbing, she pulled up her huge blanket to her mouth like a shield. Her eyes were gleaming with fright and curiosity as she was gazing expectantly at the door. She'd forgotten to turn off the lights in the hallway…not that she even had an atom of time to spare when that monster was coming after her poor self.There was a horrendous storm outside as thunder was striking randomly and the near gale was blasting wildly.In a split second, she noticed a black shade under the door like someone was standing outside, and this drove fever down her spine as she trembled. Despite the storm, she felt like someone was banging on the door. It sounded loud enough."Mo…mom?" She said beneath a quivering breath. Before she realized it, that shadow was right in her room, on the wall by the door but looked smaller. It appeared to be someone

Miss Danielle asked with both astonishment and curiosity gleaming in her green eyes.That lady in black was already close, gritting her black pointed teeth, with blood flowing down her flaming eye sockets. She swiftly raised her claws to strike Lunasha who let out a spine-chilling scream that shook the classroom.At this instant, Miss Danielle had sprung from her chair, pushed her table forward, and in a fit of panic ran to Lunasha while other students were marveling over the sudden strange scenario."Hey! Hey, Lunasha?!" However, before Danielle could reach out, Lunasha had fallen heavily with a loud thud, banging her forehead hard against the floor. "Oh, my God! Oh, my…Lunasha! Oh!" Danielle exclaimed in anguish.All of Lunasha's classmates immediately left their seats and clustered around the pale-looking Lunasha who was bleeding profusely on her forehead, nose, and mouth."Lunasha?! You okay, Lunas

Chapter 28. Mystery And Panic
Arriving home, and parking the car in the garage, Ryan wanted to walk Lunasha to her room alone. "Wait for me, Lunasha." His voice was thick with fury and Lunasha panicked, wondering why he was this mad. It was obvious.Mom and Elise walked off.With both her school bags, she got out of the car and watched how Dad violently banged the door and locked it. Standing akimbo, he blew out heavily, looked down at her with those blazing eyes, and said, "Comm'n honey, let's go."He gently got her bags and held her hand. "Is the bandage heavy on you?"She nodded slightly. ***Arriving at the stairs, he lifted her in his arms and walked up the stairs to her room. Once she got there a feverish sensation rippled in her, causing her heart to clasp brutally against her chest. He got in and made her sit on her bed. "Don't panic, sweetheart, everything will be fine, okay?" Sitting, cuddling while stroking her back he said. He pressed a kiss on the bandage. " I love you, Lunasha. I didn't realize how

His gaze still fixed on her, he blew out, looked around the room then looked down at her again. "Come here, Lunasha." He tapped the bed. "Come sit here beside me." He said stretching forth his right hand to take hers.Hesitantly, she placed her trembling hand in his, then he pulled her gently. "Comm'n, love." He said to her, "Sit beside daddy."Sitting, facing down, she was trembling and never looked up at him."Look at me, darling." Gently lifting her chin with his hand he said softly. When she looked at him he was struck by how pale and black-eyed she was. She looked like death warmed up. "Darling…" He gasped. "Oh my God! What's wrong? What's going on with you? You've been crying."Her response was to sob. She was way too overwhelmed, she couldn't stifle the cry."Oh, no no no, darling baby," He pulled her closer and cuddled her. "Don't cry… don't cry, it's okay." He paused for a while, stroking her back. He exhaled and said, "I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier, okay? I didn't mea
