The witches
" How is the preparation going," a man sitting on a chair surrounded by a few guys asked."Everything is going smoothly, our plans to raise an army from the humans to continue our battle hasn't been ruined," the man in the hood replied.
"You must be completely careful, everyone is preparing for the grand entry.
We can't afford to lose," the man said."I know how important this conquest is but they is an inquisitive detective, he had almost annihilated our plans lately," the man in the hood said.
"Obliterate him, if he intends to know more," the man replied.
"I tried but we can't just kill him without evident"
Looking at his master face, the commissioner answered.
"I didn't send you to the humans to tell me that you can't kill an ordinary detective.
I give you all the powers you need, " the man seating replied being annoyed by his sentence."Am sorry sir, if he becomes more desperate, I will eliminate him," commissioner Derick replied.
Curiosity killed the cat," the man answered him looking down, he held out some wrapped ash.
"I heard a man survived the attack, with this, you could kill him and stop him from talking," the man said and hand the ash to the commissioner.
"I sent a gift to the humans land 10 days ago, how did they receive it," the man ask Derick.
"You mean the virus," Derick asks.
"Yes, " the man replied.
"Just as master thought, They didn't kill them, am pretty sure they are making it into stage two by now," Derick replied.
"Humans are useless, anyway, thanks to humans feeling, our plans are moving at a great speed" the man smile evilly.
"Anyway did you destroy the antidote to stop them from getting their hands on it," the man inquired.
"Sure thing, no human is brave enough to travel to the end of the Netherworld.
No one makes it back alive," Derick answered."Finally, our master will soon wake up from his grave.
I have sent a gift to the hospital, let see how they can get the clues from a dead man," the unknown man said and laugh evilly.
"Let await our master's return," the whole witches' chorus.

At The Health Center
"What was all the screaming all about," all the detective muttered.
"Did you see that dark shadows that just pass," George muttered already scared to his wit.
"We all saw it," they replied.
"What was that," the detective ask and rush out, putting a gun in one direction.
Freeze, Smith said and point his gun at Steve.
"Wow! wow!" Steve raises his two hands in the air.
"Doctor Steve," they called.
"Learn how you use those hands guns, life can be taking any time with it," he said because they frightened him"Why rushing in such a way, this is a hospital and not a police station," the doctor said.
Surprised by his reaction,
"Didn't you hear any sounds and screaming," Dave asked.
"What sounds, don't tell me he killed you all with a horrific story in there" doctor Steve inquired.
This was a distraction, Smith said and rush in back to the room.
Sir, Smith called while touching the survival body which no longer move.
"What happened," he asks making his way towards the bed.
He felt the patient pulse
The doctor Steve sigh.
"Am sorry to say this but..."
He can't be dead, Smith yelled interrupting the doctor Steve.
He was perfectly fine 3 minutes ago.
How could a man be dead in a hospital when all his pulses are back to normal, Smith said and look at Steve.
"Of course he wouldn't have died if I had never strangled him to death," someone spoke from no way.
After looking at all directions in the room, a moldy black hand crawled out from under the bed.
"I took all the pleasure strangling every last breath from him," the moldy black hand smirked evilly.
Staring at nothing but a black hand that was moving without a body, it rested on top of the dead body in the room.Even without thinking, two detectives have already disappeared.
Being scared to his wit doctor Steve made a run for his dear life, stumbling more than seven times before reaching the exist.
I wish this was a nightmare, Dave said unable to move a finger.
He was already sweating profusely, as fear left him muted.
"Hi guys, Don't make it hard for me by running.
I was sent here to retrieve damn souls," the black moldy hand said and let out ridiculous laughter.By now, Dave was no way to be found.
Watching everyone as they all vanished in fear, the hand broke into laughter.
"It is hilarious you know. The more fear the more power I got,"
Everyone vanished from the room but they were this daring soul that never moved an inch.
Turning to look at Smith,
" Hey, you don't stand a chance against me.Don't play hero boy around here, I am going to strangle you bit by bit" the moldy hand smiled.
Giving out a smile that could vividly be noticed on his face, I hope you did so a thousand times as it is only both of us in this room, Smith said as he close the door.
The light faded away.
***** Next Day *******
"Hey, why did you all abandon the hospital last night and you are submitting a resignation letter" John yell and throw the letter on the three detectives on a bright Friday morning."We have already explained but you didn't understand," Dave said in annoyance.
"Why the hell did you expect me to believe in such a ghost story like that.
Dark shadows moving on the walls, a moldy black hand crawling out from under the bed or the moldy black hand that strangled the victim," John yell in annoyance as he hit the table with his hand."I mean can't you all be reasonable for once.
If the three of you just leave, how did you expect us to solve all the crimes on that board" John yelled at them for being ignorant."Hey everyone listen, I have been the head of this division for almost 10 years and some three detectives are submitting a resignation letter, while I have been completely devoted to my work. They are no way you leave without solving all those crimes cases on that board," John yelled in irritation.
"Are you kidding me, it gonna take more than a year to finish those cases," George said.
"That right, which means I am not receiving your resignation," John yelled as he was completely mad at them.
"Sir what if Smith also came in, asking for a resignation," George asked Knowing Smith was also present last night.
"Well let see if he will dare," John said and give each one of them a deadly glare.
"Fresh news guys," Caleb said as he rushed inside.
"Hey what's wrong, what is the fuse this early morning," John said in annoyance.
"It is bad news, another body was strangled to death by the moldy black hand from last night," Caleb announced.
"Which body," Dave asked.
"Detective Smith corpse."
The cold wind blew gently in the woods making rustling sounds as the trees were being blown about in the darkness of night. Deep down this part of the woods, in the part most difficult to approach by any ordinary human. An innocent creature had been buried in his grave, being half-alive for a long time over a century. As he waited patiently for retribution. The soil cracked open. He rises from his grave.He could feel his body again. The creature opens his deep red eyes, Leaving a roar in the woods. His eyes could change into any color From red, blue, green, etc. Depending on his mood, But his revival meant terror. He once dreaded the land some centuries ago. He was a lord in his land, He was inhuman and his ranking was the top among the best. His presence means doom for the lands. The master of the woods has f
The moldy hand must have chased him into the woods," they all assume as they shrink in fear. "What sort of thing is this moldy hand," John inquired as he was already scared to his wit. "Save those questions for later maybe after you have had the spiritual awakening," Dave answered receiving a deadly glare from John. "Take the body to the forest and bury it in the cemetery," John commanded the group of armies. "Yes sir," they said and took the strangled victim into the car. "What about Smith," George asked. "We will talk about that later," John said and follow the car. ********** At The Cemetery Almost everyone was present, including the man family. Sadness filled the air as the priest said his words. We come and go, strangers, we are in the lands, just as the winds pass by and never stop that how we keep on moving. Until finally, d
" No, no, no sir we were about to leave," George muttered his words with his teeth grinding together. Disappearing from their spot, they ran like a goat which was being chased by a lion. Falling, injuring bleeding but they never cared. All that matters was to escape from the ghost. Desmond was nothing but amused as he watched the creature scurry away. He described it but it was kind of fun, the way they ran out. He enjoyed the views more than when they were being drawn into the grave. I need more sacrifice, Desmond said as he disappeared into a thin air. *****Police station ****** "Hey, are you all resigning," the chief officer asked being disappointed at them. "At least even if everyone doesn't work, public officers like us still need to be in office," the chief said in fury. "Sorry sir, but we can't risk doing jobs that can cost our lives. That is our resignation letter, the 10 of u
" How do I kill the two of you," Kate asked. I can't die sister, Smith said staring into her eyes. "Do I look like your sister?" Kate ask as she stared into his eyes. Kate got lost in thought as she stared into his pupil blue eyes. "Am sorry aunt, I hope you are not having a crush on this worthless soul, " the young girl Lucy asks bringing her out from her thoughts. Giving out a smile,"I heard that some of these humans are charming, I never thought there was one to suit my taste" Kate smirk as she came out from her love fantasy. "Am sorry aunt, If this human is your love, at first sight, I request you let go of this one. I have to skin him to death, " the girl Lucy advises as she exposes her teeth ready to spill Smith's blood. Kate finally turned her attention to the little witch. "The humans here look, I request you find another appetizer," Kate said as she glared at the young girl. "Uh," Lucy
I hate a horrible movie," George said. "Are you scared," Abigail ask. "No, why will I be scared, after all, I am a man," George answered nervously. "That is why I love you," Abigail said and kissed him. George was feeling suffocated as the horror movie went on, it was all about burning people alive during night hours. When the witches sacrifice various humans to pacify their souls. "Oh my goodness, they are cruel," Abigail muttered staring at the screen. "Oh my goodness, " she said as the sacrifice became more intense. "I am feeling sleepy, would you mind if I off the television," George asks hoping the young lady would change her mind. "No this part is more interesting," Abigail answered. George stared at the brave lady in wonder. He was doomed. Walking into his bedroom was a problem. Not to talk of using the restroom. The graveyard incident came running through his
"Take him into my room for treatment," she ordered one of the servants. Everyone watched as the man was carried into their mistress bedroom. Turning to look at her servant, "And they should be no false rumors around here," Kate said and left their presence. "Am sorry to say this but this is too much to bear," one of the maids cried out. " I Wonder who that guest is that we have to treat him like someone second to our mistress," All the servants cried out in agony. ********* Coming into the bedroom, Kate sat beside the bed. "How is he doing," she asked one of the doctors. "He collapses from a shock, he will be alright after some few seconds," the doctor answered. "Ok," Kate replied. "Leave the room, I want to be alone with him," she ordered the doctor and some servants who were waiting behind. "Ok princess," they chorus
The hospital was filled,George had been seriously injured, claiming his assault to be a night ghost. He was scarcely believed by some team of retired detectives. "Wait you are telling me that some devil was responsible," Raphael asked in disbelieve trying to be reasonable at least once in a lifetime. "Sure, the George I know wouldn't lie about the incident," Dave answered scrolling through the security camera. "And there it is," Dave said letting some of the other detectives join him. "Very of a smart guy," John said as he watch the culprit walk away on the screen. "He knows that they were security cameras everywhere but he just walked freely around the street does he think we are too weak to retaliate," Raphael asked. "Trust me, this guy is more dangerous than we thought," Steve answered while bringing some drugs in. "How is Abigail, "Dave asks out of concern. "Not good it is serious.I don't just get wh
"I don't like to be admired," Smith blunt out. Kate stares at the handsome man and chuckles. "Then I admire you. Why? Because you had the gut to still be alive and not dead," Kate replied as he stared into his eyes. The human before him was handsome. It is not gut sister, I am lucky being alive today because I fought the Grim Reaper each time it tried to take my life, Smith replied. Lucy stared at the human before her in anger. All she wants at that moment was to strangle him. She was the grim reaper that was sent to kill him. Kate burst into a laugh when he mentioned the grim reaper. "Am not your sister," Kate replied. "My name is Kate and I am a prin... Never mind just call me Kate," Kate said to Smith who was busy staring at her. Her other identity can't be revealed so she had to keep it a secret from him. "Just Kate," she concluded. That is a nice name, Am Smit
Smith's eyes widened as Kate's unexpected proposition echoed in the room. He looked at her, a mix of surprise and confusion on his face."Are you serious?" Smith asked incredulously.Kate smirked, seemingly undeterred by his reaction. "Well, we're facing a powerful enemy, and creating a powerful ally might just be what we need."Smith shook his head in disbelief. "This is not the time for jokes or distractions. We need a plan to stop Desmond and save the world."Kate sighed, her playful demeanor fading. "I get it, Smith. But sometimes, unconventional situations require unconventional solutions. Besides, I've read about ancient rituals that can amplify one's powers. A child born from two powerful beings could be our secret weapon."Smith crossed his arms, skeptical. "And how do you suggest we go about this so-called plan?"Kate's eyes gleamed mischievously. "I have a spellbook that might have something useful. We could perform a ritual, channel our energies, and who knows? Maybe it'll
" Wow! " Kate exclaimed surprised by the revelation. " You never told me and you kept it all alone," Kate muttered disappointed. I hide it from everyone, Smith answered. I drank poison earlier and even poison no longer kills me, Smith replied raising the bottle which he was poisoned earlier. It is soul-splitting poison, Smith said sighing. I still don't know who I am, but am trying hard to figure it all out, Smith declared turning to Kate. Anyway, I appreciate your help in saving me. If not, I would be wandering in the netherworld already, Smith said pinching her cheeks. Why do you fight with a sword? You normally end combat with the snap of your finger, Smith inquired. If it weren't because of that evil man, I would have healed but his poison is just too hard to fight," Kate said referring to Desmond. Speaking of Desmond, Smith finally remembers as he folds his hand into a fist. Why does someone take pleasure in wiping out everything while trying to turn the world into dar
" Never thought he was merciless," Kate pondered."Then I grant you your wish," Kate answered passing the blade through his heart.Smith was struck mute at what he saw.You killed him, Smith stuttered in fear only to see Kate licking the edge of the sword with her tongue to remove the bloodstain."You haven't seen enough horror dear.If I am gonna put it simultaneously speaking, we are still making it to phase one," she smiled.Who the hell are you, Smith yelled in frustration."Oh you've forgotten when I turn into a horrible monster," Kate said moving towards his direction where he was tied.Well, that wasn't your fault, Smith replied.Neither did I make a wrong choice by fleeing, he answered bluntly."Not bad though," Kate replied returning to her familiar voice.She cut the chain and then Smith acted as if nothing had occurred earlier.Now let me ask you a question, Smith said turning to her.<
****At The Restaurant *****"You are the one that owns that fancy car outside," the man said looking in the direction of the shining brand new car outside.If I am right, I googled and found out that the car was worth millions only 6 of them are in the world.So you know better, it is either we do this the easy way or you chose the hard way," the waitress smiled.Some men entered the hotel armed."I thought someone was being kind, but I never knew it was another set of robbers, how treacherous are humans," Desmond said and burst into laughter."10 million dollars for each of every one of us in these rooms, " the waitress replied.Desmond roll his eyes irritated by the man's attitude."Rich men are fucking greedy," one of the men in the room said pointing his gun at Desmond."Is it a crime to buy a
*****At The Wood****Kate wander around the wood part, she no longer possessed most of her skills so she needs to be more careful of dangers lurking around the wood.A growling sound was heard and she stopped surveying every inch of the woods.She prepares herself to attacked whatever came into sight.AAAHH, a zombie attacked her grabbing hold of her legs as it makes its way for her neck regions.Kate struggles and manages to stab its head with a sharp rock.She exhales heavily watching the zombie groan in pain.She looks up and saw a dense army of zombies that were coming out from every hidden part of the woods.She quickly climbs the hill part and rests against a rock."Where would he be," she muttered referring to Smith.After some minutes, she recalled a nearby mansion that was located not too far away that she normally visits."Thank goodness," she smiled raising her sword.She closed her eyes a
**** At The Wood ****Kate raised her head from the bed, her entire body was powerless.She looks to her right, she did not see the person that she was expecting to see."Smith," she muttered."Unless fool," Lugard muttered."Uncle," Kate responded in disappointment."You left home because of a good-for-nothing human," Lugard shouted irritated at his niece's behavior."He is a good man," Kate said trying to defend Smith."Where is he now huh, I told you life is never all about a fairy tale," Lugard yelled at her.But Kate rather sat motionless on the bed."Am sorry," Kate said feeling dejected."But even if someone prophecies to me that you will be the one to save me, I will never believe it," Kate concluded."As a princess half-witch, you were only adopted by your parents, and yet as a child, you wield a great power that is enough to affect nature itself.You bragged about everything and even
**** Near The Woods ****Smith exhaled heavily as he tried to recover from running a long time.Almost 2 hours now, the creature keeps on lurking around every corner of the woods.What have I done to deserve this, Smith thought to himself as he remembered being chased by the moody hand and now he was being chased by kate who have become a terrifying animal with long teeth, long ear, long nose it was hard to describe the type of animal she has become.Smith raise his head in his front direction and he saw a huge mansion ahead of him.He went straight to it after a few minutes of running.When he finally reached the entrance gate, he knocked but they were no reply.The growling becomes louder.He turned his head and saw Kate charging towards him like a mad dog.Maybe she didn't recognize me again, Smith muttered to himself as he started to Knock on the gate again.This time around, he knocked the gates louder as Kat
🏰 White House🏰 The president was busy watching all the incidents on the TV. "Mr. President, it is an emergency," one of the general said as he rush inside. "What is it," the president asks turning his attention toward the general. "Many of the citizens in Chulac city have started to evacuate," the general said and the president get up from his seat. "Who asked them to evacuate," the president yelled In anger. "They are afraid of being contaminated since the majority of people who came from Thunder were infected people," The general answered already sweating. "Shut down the city of Chulac till further notice and tell the citizens to wear nose masks and hand gloves," the government commanded. "But what about the healthy citizens in Chulac city," the general ask receiving a deadly glare from the government who walked out from his office. "How is doctor Steve doing," the president asked one of the scientists as he
Are you alright, can you still hold yourself so that I can get you to the hospital, Smith asks Kate using his handkerchief to wipe out the blood from her mouth."Oh, how touching it is," Desmond smirked."It is a pity you don't know anything about the supernatural world," Desmond said shaking his head in amazement."Don't you get it, I fed her one of the most deadly poisons and it is not something you can cure," Desmond answered."I apologize for hiding my identity," Kate said holding Smith's hand hoping that the young detective will still accept her for whom she is.I understand how you feel but I don't think I can accept you but we can still be friends, Smith said trying to make the lady understand.The thought of living with a witch scares the shit out of him, thoughtless of having her as his wife, Smith thought trying to hide his real emotion."Is it because of my identity," Kate asked almost wanting to cry.Look, Kate, you
