Life After Divorce: The Rise Of Elijah Crawford Chapter 90
Elijah returned home after midnight. He was too tired to do anything. Nudging his head in acknowledgement of Snow, who opened his eyes long enough to see the sudden footsteps were from the owner of the house, he went straight to his bedroom. He had barely touched the bed when he drifted into a dreamless sleep.However, as soon as the light of dawn came, he found himself in a different world. It started out with numerous voices talking at the same time in his head. The strange world a cave like space, but with different eyes serving as it's walls.With every turn, he saw himself in those eyes. His exterior as calm as a dove, but within he panicked. The voices began screaming. They howled in pain, and laughter. The result of the opposing mixture, a desire to get out. And so he found himself running. But every curve was a dead end. The eyes grew larger, watching him as he watched himself. "Stop it!" He found himself crying within. For some unknown reason, his voice wouldn't come

Colin Trust was about to step out of the house, when his phone rang. He smiled when he saw the ID, and instantly picked. Pressing the phone to his ears, his smiled widened. "Kingston Luxe." He said, in place of the usual hello."I want you to tell the cops Elijah attacked me." Kingston, following the theme of no pleasantries, screamed from the other end of the line."Whoa, calm down screech! I thought we've settled this already?""Like hell we have! I want to see that good for nothing bastard rotting in jail." He spat violently into the phone.Colin withdrew the phone from his ears briefly. Slapping the surface of the ears with his palm, he brought the phone back. "Maybe you didn't understand what that good for nothing bastard said. You will be going to jail too if you report him.""I won't, and you know that. I can buy my freedom. Something that idiot can't do."Colin was tickled by how much venom Kingston reserved for Elijah. His father held the same anger towards the man too.

"Where are we going again?" Tobias asked, fastening his seatbelt as Elijah started the car."To Crawford laboratory." He replied in a serious voice."What!" Tobias' eyes bulged when he realized what he had just said."You heard me." He shrugged, driving out of his compound."Why do you make these impulsive decisions? What if someone sees us and figures out you're Dr Bane's son?""And how's that going to happen?" He asked, his eyes glued to the road."I don't know. It could just happen.""It won't. It's no secret I used to work for Dr Banes. Going to the lab is not weird at all.""But we need a permit to be admitted in," He suddenly sat up in excitement. "Are you going to use your powers? You know, teleport us in." He asked, grinning from ear to ear.Elijah took his eyes off the road long enough to give him a reproaching look. "Do you just say everything in your mind? You know my powers are locked in the ring." He hissed, returning his attention to the road."I know." He fro

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Limpy's hands on the gun vibrated."Careful now officer," Elijah stretched out a hand to calm his movements. "I can be whatever you want me to be. But for now, I'll settle for the harmless guy you'll be opening the gates to the lab for. What do you say Limp? Friends?"Tobi chuckled by his side, as the man grew red."Oh for fucks sake Ronald, drop the gun!" Droopy screamed in fear."You heard him. Common!" Tobias urged.His eyes was on the man with the gun,but his focus was on Stubbles who had managed to whip out his gun, and was slowly crawling up."We're officers of the law. We can't let these bloody civilians step on us just like that." He screamed, his voice not matching the confidence of his words."Don't be a cunt Ron. These men could easily kill us. Drop the bloody gun!"Elijah and Tobi's eyes met. "Here." Elijah said, pushing Droopy towards him. Immediately, a shot from behind blasted."Bloody hell!" Droopy screamed out loud, as the

He closed the journal, and returned it back to the drawer. Retrieving his phone from his pocket, he dialled a number."How're you doing my darling?” A friendly voice speaks through the phone."Cleo." He called, relief flooding his voice."Thought you said you were done with Tokyo City, and everything that has to do with it?" "I thought so too. Turns out Tokyo City is not done with me. Everywhere I turn, my space is invaded."She chuckled. "What did you expect? You're a god. gods are like the earthly celebrities. Only with more power, a niche kind of fame, drawn to like a mother to a flame, and a wicked amount of finesse." She breathed heavily, as if she was walking.Few seconds after, her heels scrapping on granite floor pretty much confirmed she was."If it were just about me, I wouldn't mind.""They're already attacking the girl? Yikes.""Wait, you know about Winnie?" He asked. Just when he thought he had cracked a code, there was more confusion always waiting for him."W

"Where is she!" Tiana screamed the house down in search of her daughter."Ma'am, is everything okay?" Scarlet, their housekeeper of over ten years, hurried from the kitchen, to answer Tiana."Where is Rhonda? Where is she!" "I'm here mum. Why the screams?" Rhonda asked, coming down the stairs."Why the screams?" She raised her head, her voice filled with anger. "I'm just coming from my visit to Nathan Luxe. Imagine my surprise when I found out he was ready to be discharged, but couldn't leave because his son was brought in a state of emergency.""Okay? What does any of that have to do with me?" She said, walking over to her mother."Don't get silly with me Rhonda. Kingston told me it wasn't thugs that attacked him. He said your swine of an ex did that to him, and you stood there encouraging him to hit!" “How could you do that Rhonda? How could you!""Enough mum! If you knew what Kingston said to me, you wouldn't be feeling sorry for him.""What could he have possibly said t

"Was it someone you knew ---" Tobias' voice trailed when he raised his head and saw Cleo, instead of Elijah he had expected."Finally, I see you in person." She threw a wink and walked over to the table where the meal had been served."Your bags are in a room upstairs in case you're wondering," Elijah said, walking in on Tobias with his mouth wide open."She's so hot!" Snow said, half his mouth occupied by a bone."You won't be the first, or last to say that, Doggy." She turned her face, throwing him a wink.The bone fell off his mouth, as his tail wagged with excitement. "Finally! Another person who can hear me." He said in jubilation."Wait, I thought you asked me not to call you Doggy?" Elijah said, sitting beside Cleo."What? Me? When did I ever say that?" "Leave the dog alone Elijah. He's so cute." Cleo smiled."You heard that Elijah? I'm so cute." He raised his paws to prove just how cute he was.Elijah rolled his eyes and faced forward. He blinked in surprise when he

The loud voices coming from the living room to Elijah's room woke him up. He almost smothered himself with a pillow, regretting why he invited so many people to his house. It was just Cleo and Tobias. Three if you counted Snow. Still, it felt like he was living in a barrack with all that noise.Dragging himself out of bed, he proceeded into the bathroom for a quick shower. By the time he stepped out, his headache had drastically reduced. He walked over to his closet with his towel tied securely around his waist. Suddenly, his door pushed open, and Cleo in a robe came in. "Rise and shine Angel!" She said in a singsong voice, holding two mugs in her hand."What are you doing barging into my room, just like that!" He howled in annoyance.She whistled, giving him a quick once over. "This is quite the sight?" She said, throwing him a wink."I'm not in the mood Cleo. It's too early for your shenanigans." He hissed, turning his back to her."Well, you better snap out of that fowl mo

A crowd gathered at the streets of Quantum City to watch the elites light up the place.They were all grateful to have been invited to the fundraising of Colin Trust. It was rare to be invited to these events, or that the events were even held in public.Amongst the people in that crowd weird Cleo and Tobias.Tobias was waiting for the signal he needed before he did what he prepared to do. As he turned his head around, he came face to face with Laura Anderson.She drew closer, and stopped in front of him. “The least you could do was answer my calls, you know? My mother was dying in the hospital, and I needed your help. I know about everything done to Elijah, so you can't even use that as an excuse. I just needed to talk to someone,” she said, tears in her eyes.Cleo was ready to go off when she turned and saw Laura Anderson. “You're the one that has a crush on my boyfriend,” she said before Tobias could respond.Laura painfully tore her gaze from Tobias, and turned to Cleo. “So you're

Lexington knocked at Elijah's door at seven in the evening, and the door was immediately opened by Cleo.“Hey, you came,” she said, stepping aside so he could go through.He found Tobias, and the god in the living room, but Winnie was nowhere to be found.“Where's Winnie?” He asked.“What do you mean, where's Winnie? Isn't she supposed to be with you?” Tobias asked.“No. She texted that she would be spending the night here, and I told her I'd pick her up for the fundraiser this evening,” he replied.“Are you sure? Because I'm pretty certain she received a call from you shortly after you left, and zapotec out to receive it.”“Wait a second,” Lexington took a step forward. “You're trying to tell me you haven't heard from her since she stepped out to receive a call?”“She said you wanted to speak to her. When we heard her car drive away, we assumed she was going to meet up with you,” but as Cleo said it, she began to realise the situation was not as straightforward as it seemed.Lexingto

“Leave me alone. Just go away,” Elijah muttered over and over again, as he scraped the walls of his cell with his fingers.It had gotten dark, and everytime it was dark, the voices got louder and more menacing.“Elijah?!” The most off-putting of all the voices sounded.He knew who he belonged to, but he couldn't quite place it. His mind was too disorganised.“Leave me alone,” he begged.“Why? You don't want to be reminded of your sins? I thought you were a self righteous prick!”“I didn't do it,” he shook his head continuously. “I didn't. An accident. She did it. She caused it.”Darius laughed. “But no one that matters knows. In the papers, you're a murderer. You need to see the paper stands, and the news on the city's projector screens. They're all carrying your face and your crime. Maybe you should have publicised your healing abilities. If you had, the, would have been more inclined to support you.” he laughed maniacally.“I'm innocent. I'm innocent,” Elijah repeated.The more he s

“You're a murderer! A monster. You've claimed you save lives. You claim you can't fight the urge to be a messiah to ailing people. Look at you now. A murderer!”“Leave me alone! Leave me!” Elijah closed his ears, and dropped to the ground in a ball.He rolled from one end of the room to the other, trying to wade off the voices in his head.Still, they didn't relent. The more he tried to keep them away, the more they laughed and mocked him.“Do you know how many people you killed?” Another baritone voice began in a singsong tone.“Not one,” one shrieked.“Not even two,” another thundered.“Not five either,” a third chirped.“So many!” The first voice screamed and broke into a feat of laughter.“No, I didn't mean to. It was a mistake. A setup. Please. Mercy!” He begged, and cried.“No, you did! You put on the ring when you knew how blood thirsty it was. You wanted this. Craved it, because deep down, you're truly a monster!”“No I'm not!” He screamed back.“Yes you are!”“No I'm not!”“Y

They were driving along the highway when Avery turned on the radio and began to sing along to the music being played.“You haven't changed that much,” he said, as she sang.Despite the volume turned all the way up, she could hear him clearly.“It's the curse of being a star, my darling.” She continued singing loudly, pulling a head shake out of his head.He didn't care what she chose to do. The only thing he was happy about was the fact he had managed to get the sixth herb. Despite every setback be had to face, it was just the remaining two left.His thoughts became bothered as he wondered what they were going to be. He assumed if he hadn't seen it yet, it was because of how life threatening they were bound to be.He didn't care though. No matter what it was, he planned on doing it just to see his mother up and about again.She had spent so much time being unconscious, she probably didn't know how the world worked anymore.“Why aren't you singing? You just achieved a major feat. You s

Avery shot forward, and dropped to the ground beside him.“Elijah!” She smacked his chest.“Move!” He screamed at her. “It's just the ring. It's trying to control me,” he explained.“Oh,” she looked reluctant to leave him alone, nervously twisting her head from side to side. “Is there something I can do to help you out? Tell me, and I'll do it,” she asked desperately.“Just move, Avery. Move please,” he pleaded.“Okay,” she rose to her feet. “But I'm not moving far away. Just in case you need my help.”He sighed and rose to his feet. She was stubborn, but it was understandable. She just wanted to help.“You listen to me,” he spoke through his bringing the ring to his face. “You're not going to keep doing whatever the fuck you want to do. I'm going to get that herb, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it!” With every word he spoke, his tone grew higher and higher, until the veins on his forehead formed a poll of creasing mass.With a determined stride, he pushed forward an

Elijah drove to a stop in front of the Trusts mansion.“There's a way we can play this off without alerting Colin's boys. But if you want to go the badass route, then we can just walk in.”“What way?” Elijah asked, his trouble sensing tingling.“With your tongue shoved down my throat. They'd think we're in heat and just want to make love. Without any questions asked, they would open the door and let us in.”“No!” He said, immediately she was done.“Okay, Mr God. Chill with the outburst. It was only a suggestion. It's either that, or we go in together. If we do, there's a chance one of them might recognize you and report back to Colin. Are you willing to risk that?”“I'm already here. I don't care if anyone recognizes me or not. All I want to do is get in there, take the herb, and get out.”“You say it like it's that easy,” she said, withdrawing her legs from the dashboard. “Doesn't it take a whole process? Or are you willing to risk the ring working against you?”“The ring feeds on vi

“We will have to return to the exhibition one after the other, though. Just follow my lead,” Winnie said.Elijah blinked multiple times as he tried to wrap his mind around Winnie’s enthusiasm. She had the biggest smile on her face, as if she had been waiting for this day all her life.“Are you ready?” she lifted her head, her gaze darting between Elijah and Avery.“I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to do. But I’m bored and down for anything, so let’s do it.” Avery shrugged. “That’s the spirit!” she pumped her fist, then turned to Elijah. “You?” she asked, eyeing him gently as she waited for his response.“Do I have a choice?”“No!” Both Avery and Winnie screamed in unison.“Fine.” He threw his hands into the air in surrender. They stood aside, as Winnie stomped her foot on the ground twice before storming towards the exhibition room.“It’s not just me, right? She’s really enjoying this.” Elijah observed out loud.“Yeah buddy. You got yourself a show girl. In other words, a dra

Elijah thought about it for all but twenty seconds before he shook his head, rejecting the idea. “No. I absolutely cannot use Winnie that way. If I have to wait until the day of the fundraiser, then so be it.”“Look, I get it. Winnie is special to you. She’s the one you love, or whatever. Regardless, this is your best shot. Colin knows that you’re a god.”“What!” he raised his brow, temporarily startled?“I had to tell him about us, because he pretty much figured out the basics. Anyway, that’s not even the case right now. If you don’t find a way to sneak into the house soon, he’s going to set you up so bad when the time comes, I’m afraid you may not be able to escape the ambush.”He let her words sit in his head for a few minutes. His biggest enemy at the moment was time. By all indications, Colin planned on using the next weekend for his fundraiser. This would make it exactly one week from today. In a way, he could admit Avery was right. He had to move fast if he wanted to thwart C
