My Predator System Chapter 34: The spirits
"Maks...I'm still being trailed by a pack of spirits."Maks blinked. Victor glared at the phantoms lurking by the fence. They did not approach him. They simply watched him wide-eyed. He heard small hints of their voices calling him. Their desperation hung over them like a thick cloud. He swallowed."Why don't you...ask them for what they want?" Maks pointed out.Victor scoffed. "Would you have me assassinate a person I never even heard of? I'm a guy, not a hitman."Maks wanted to say something about using his powers but then he clamped up. "Bring back the Zhou Dynasty?" He continued with frustration. "I see why grandma never listened to them. They're maniacs!" He raised his hands."First, the Yuan Gui are haunting me in my dreams, my home, they're at my school! I can't take this anymore. I have to get rid of them." Maks stopped petting the foal. "Good for you."Victor saddened. He was fresh out of ideas. Maks felt the foal licking on his palm. "Ew..." He shook slobber off his hand.

He forced himself to settle down at the low table while he watched the video."It's probably nothing." He muttered resting a palm on his cheek. Tapping the table.***Emily hopped down from her old Harley bike. She sighed. Her heart was pounding, beads of sweat shimmered on her face, they turned into icecaps once the breeze touched her face. "That's odd. I'm not always this nervous." She sighed.She hoped the Lees would be gracious enough to give her a job. She had nothing else to fall back on and she needed to keep her hands dirty. For Maks's sake and for hers. The society had a lot of demands these days and she had to survive.She sighed and pocketed her keys then strolled into the large foyer.There were arches and columns. A few Chinese Earth dragon vases were placed by the arches with flowers, there were open squares gardens with more cacti plants and red mats.She whistled at the interiors and winced at the lion statues by the large oak door. "Woo. Fancy place you got here."Ma

"I told you to stay down." Jessica played with her hands."That's what I said when you tried to play with my porcelain. I mean your father's porcelain." She groaned settling down. Maks sat up from the couch. "What's wrong?"Doreen looked pale. "It's nothing. I'm just feeling a little lightheaded.""Oh, good, just stay down. I'll help with the rest of the work." He muttered.Doreen marvelled at his offer and his physical strength. She blushed and rubbed her wrist. "Chivalry. Those classes of yours really do help, don't they?" "I suppose." He served lunch. Mashed potatoes with peas on the side, turkey sandwich and pot pie. He snorted. His dad was out making arrangements for a course overseas next week. That left three of them in the house again. Jessica stayed on a high chair at the dinning table swinging her legs. "I'll be turning five next week. I've been counting." She faced him. "October.""That's fantastic, Jess." He recited drily from the corner of his mouth. Sometimes, she wa

It laughed in a high pitched voice and Ping slinked. The others laughed with him. "You have got to be joking." Ping gritted his teeth. He thought the flaming ghoulish being had been what it was before. His robe was made of gold so the flickering was plausible enough to believe. "Who are you? And H_how do you know my name? And why do you wish to h_help me?" He stammered. He stood a big chance of getting killed just like the driver. The demon was repulsive. So many unsavoury thoughts crossed his mind when he saw those claws. Run. Run for you dear life. He thought."You may call me, Hu." He spelt out and these are my subjects. One looked like a dead twisted tree trunk with its branches spread out like antlers, those were the only graceful parts of it, it had a mouth gaping open and close with sharp teeth on its stomach, another one had the face of a bat, a lean skeletal structure, long drooping bat wings, its talons were so long that they almost touched the ground.He shuddered thinkin

After all that shopping and moping, Maks strolled around the mall to style his rough hair, get manicures. He wanted to buy a nice surprise gift for Jessica for her birthday with the money he had literally saved up for the winter. He figured she would cherish a new bag or drawing book and some colouring pencil sets to 'channel her creativity' or whatever Doreen had been talking about the day she doodled on his wall. He got fed up with that and he decided to draw the line. He wanted to blow some steam after the fight with his dad, he knew that bringing her up would cause a minor rift between them especially now that staying together was best for the two of them. He hated his dad. He hated how he closed up about everything and shut him off. He decided that he just wanted to go outside until he got his head clear. Otherwise it was a battlefield in the house.The mall was large, there were showrooms for clothes, jewelry, tools, mobile phones and accessories. He grinned deciding to go windo

Maks worked less than 8 hours a week now, it was the middle of September and he marked a day off his phone calender. He was dizzy from staring at it for too long. He gazed at the ceiling of his room while he laid back. He might have considered going to the party because he had nowhere else to be.He was more easygoing these days. He had time to train up at the academy and make up for last month's minimum guarantee at work that had he lost due to August's accident. Leo was still considerate."2 weeks and 5 days to go." He grinned to himself and rubbed his hands together. He grabbed his backpack ready to leave. He stopped abruptly at the doors."Going somewhere?" Leo said shrugging into his coat. He had dreadlocks pressed down by a white headband and his nose was ruddy. He snorted and gave Maks a confused look. His eyes were sunken."Uh... I'm heading home?" Maks shrugged and pointed thumbs outside the doors. "Are you head my way?""No, of course not. I have a meeting with my therapist

"Give it up and it'll be over before you know it." Ping said with a harsh voice. He stretched a hand toward Irma's hair. She turned pale when nothing happened yet and gasped. "I demand that you let us go. Get back!" Victor threatened and the beasts coming jumped back. "Time's wasting." The bat chided."I know what I am doing." Ping reminded through clenched teeth. He whirled at the sudden interruption. Maks stepped up. "No. You can't be sure if those beans will work on you." He said in his defence. "You seem better off with your powers.""That is none of your concern." Ping gripped the bag and pushed Irma down. "Pleasure doing business with you." He smirked.Victor took up her arm. Her eyes tilted and she looked down.A minion grinned. "The master will be very pleased." "I wonder what happens if I take two of these." He held it up like pills and they wilted falling out of like his hands.Victor gasped and Maks grimaced. "Pardon me." He turned off his powers. "Get me out of here

"Maybe so. I've only heard of a vessel that contains and unleashes monsters if it gets into the wrong hands_""It's a malevolent flavour of a Jackass Genie, Victor, try to keep up." Maks said speedily. "Except this one's controlled. It's dead. The end.""Is it?" Irma added. "If Ping releases that jinn the third time...I don't know." Irma touched her head. "That's your department.""You know, you're onto something..." Maks said."Goodluck."He winced when she closed the door. "Dude, you blew it."... "In the legends, the Zaipei dou were interpreted by dozens as strangely colored legumes that were 'chewy' and 'sweet'. I have no doubt that they were ahead of their time. Until now. Don't you agree bat-face?"The demon mumbled in flight."I'll take that as a yes." He took out the blue one and scrutinized it carefully. What would a little ice hurt? He took it and coughed. "Nothing's happening." He gasped at Maks flapping after them. His expression grew harsher."Chew on this!" He kicked hi

He shuddered. Those men didn't deserve to live, he clutched his pillow. The day after that was the time he started to realize that he could see dead people. These people were crooks, they sold him to a factory disguised as an orphanage home. Teagan's breathing was heavy at the women asking for his name. He had a hard time communicating, he didn't want to. They shaped him up by beating him. The worst he had was being covered with a sack if he mishbehaved and the tap running over his face until he gave in. He always had a hard time following routines. He lived with an abusive foster father named Randall Barton, his wife Alice and their adopted children, he trusted him to his word. He took care of him gradually until he started to get violent. He even employed the children to beat him up. He asked what was the point of adopting him. Unfortunately all he was good for was being a punching bag. The only good thing he learned was English. His imaginary friends translated and taught him to s

Teagan looked anxious, he slouched walking through the gates. The workers grimaced at him and BlackJack picked up speed. He ran to the house and he paled when he met Ares. "Where have you been!?" Keisha said."I just went for a walk." Teagan said twirling his hand on his leash."I know you went to...You're not allowed to step outside. Running away was completely stupid." Keisha said aware now and he blushed at Harley. "Yeah, I know, I just needed some fresh air. I'm alive aren't I?" He barked defensively. He was acting weird. He bloomed walking away faster. He couldn't handle criticism. He marched upstairs and the room was as dirty as it was before. He was repulsed. "You didn't clean yet?" He said to Keisha who relaxed on the couch.She dropped her magazine. "I'm sorry I said all those mean things about you.""We're cool. Just as long as long as you don't keep any weapons. No more pranks, not more antics." She said. "Clean this up.""Where are all the ghost workers?""They're on a

"Not that one, Chief. I was born in Nigeria, West Africa. The Igbos, a major ethnic group currently were looking for independence to become The Biafrans after the British colonialists united the tripod stands of the country, the east, north and the western region.The colonizers left eventually after the independence in 1960. There was a blockade and My father Festus Ebube Okoye who identified as a Biafran and my mother Catherine Nneoma Okoye starved along with the rest of our people. He was passionate about seperating from Nigeria. The Biafrans lost the war against the Nigerians ultimately and there was no secession. My father was wounded inside and out. We had to move here to save our hides. My father had a score with Ares to settle. They worked together in the past. He owed him his life and he wanted some kind of reward for aiding him."So Ares supports this kinds of stuff?""Yeah. He wanted him to "give him what rightfully belonged to him". His loyalty. My siblings were just 9,7,6

"N_no no, I'll show you." Teagan tossed BlackJack's dented log at the glass doubledoors and it shattered to pieces.Irma's jaw dropped. "You broke it, is something wrong with you?" She glanced at a broom by the door perking up and moving in a sweeping motion to gather up the glass. Irma glanced at Teagan who looked shocked. His expression changed. "See?""As dumb as that demonstration was, it's brilliant.""Really?...I mean yes. I'm more genius than any of you give me credit for." He gazed at his fingernails."You can hear them.""Yes." He said smiling proudly. "Okay then, what's he saying?" She asked and he blushed. Maybe she thought the ghost standing there was just a coincidence.Irma winced at the inappropriate words. "@#$¥ *&?@@@####. Why are you helping you f#cking bitch?""Okay, that's enough." She said alarmed. "It's a kid named Oscar...he's 19. Died trying to pull a stunt on a dirtbike and drowned in the pond.""Get inside, Teagan, you've caused enough trouble." Keisha f
Chapter 208
Over the days, Teagan moved around the house, he cursed at the workers and vandalized things, Ares didn't show the slightest interest or whether to kick him out. He was perplexed. Harley, Irma and Keisha were in their final year and they were going to college. And parties. He was left home alone with BlackJack whom he was afraid of. BlackJack was trying to approach him and he ducked throwing pillows at him.BlackJack grabbed a pillow chasing after him. He ran away past the halls and cried out when BlackJack placed his paw on his chest. "Stop." Ares said to him and he vanished. Teagan gazed at him through glassy eyes. Ares vanished too.... Ares was not even giving Irma a hard time as Keisha claimed to. He didn't trust her to her words anyway. He taught her to kick box and she was getting tired of doing the same moves all the time. She meandered around a sandbag punching and kicking.Teagan watched them from a boulder with binoculars as she lunged backwards.Irma tried the s

Teagan was afraid that she would shred them to pieces. Worst of all, Ares was coming home to meet him. He didn't like the looks of him. His aura made him feel things and see things he didn't want to see, yet he was easily drawn to the past, he relived it everyday in his head. That was why he wanted to stay as far away from Ares as possible.He lived with assassins too. Irma arrived with Harley in the house of Ares. Irma ducked at the box drifting over her head. "What are those?""Ghost workers, they agreed to work for Ares in death." "Until after death you mean?""They won't be leaving anytime soon, they can keep working for him if they want.""Oh my god. What if some of them try to kill him or you?""They won't. They have a contract." Harley said.Irma shook her head as they explored the house. "So this is where you live?" "Yes and No, I live with my dad, Eric. I just come here for visits.""So how is he?"Harley turned sad, he suffered 10 years of tragedy but the tragedy wasn't

"Will you come lie next to me?" He said.He groaned she laid back too hard. "Scooch." She could hear the fluids in his lungs while he was breathing. The place was so quiet. She would rather be anywhere else talking to a person than being her with her thoughts, but he was sick."I can feel the gurgling too, that's disgusting and don't even try to kiss me with that virus." She was content.He was feeling feverish and tried to make conversation. "My head hurts...""Mmm.""I'm sure letting you stay in bed with me is probably against hospital policy.""You're such a bad boy." She said sarcastically.They were together now and she did not want to infringe on their pact. "Can I use my phone?""That's fine, it gets boring in the hospital anyway." He said fatigued and he had a sense of Deja vu. "Please don't take pictures of me like this, I look sick."She typed. "It's fine. I just need it for my secret album. What do you think about #Marley?" She flooded the space with many heart emojis."Tha

"You need to stop playing games.""Really, you wanna talk game? You were trying to make me jealous with Irma." His eyebrows rose. "I wasn't.""What was that look. Really? When we were at that night club, you were staring at her. Like really staring."Irma exhaled. "Oh my god, you guys." She muttered rolling her eyes. "Yeah because we had a duet. I was nervous and I tend to look at people dead in the eye when that happens_Maybe I was jealous when you started feeding Dom orange slices.""Only because he was making rude advances. I had to protect myself.""You left me on the street after date night.""Yeah, you were having car trouble and I was trying to be friendly and to save money." She whispered. "You could have just said you were angry instead of shutting me out.""Oh." He said, he was unreasonable when it came to love and the reason why he strangely felt short was because she was still on heels. "I was wrong to have made you think that Dom and I could actually be a thing. But you

Will you stop this madness at once!?"Dom glanced at the burly old man dressed sharp, he held Horacio's hand, he was stained with mud and cheese. Dom roared drowsy from too much alcohol. Alberto spat on the floor. "Now, what is going on? You get off him.""Sorry, Tio, he locked Horacio up again and now he's harra_""What's going on?" Dom rose up. "She's been spending all my money on this useless son of a bitch." He yelled at Harley. "You won't even let me touch you!"Harley's eyes glistened at the name-calling. "Last time I checked, we were friends, not lovers."They were laughing at Dom. He just ratted himself out. She played him for a fool now."I do not care. You can keep all that he gave to you, Chamaca...it's yours." Alejandro said to Harley. "I'm very sorry."Dominic. What is this I'm hearing? You mistreat your brothers. And you let him!?" He shoved Rex.Rex spoke profusely in Spanish. "He threatened to take away my funding and to kick me out of the house. He's family and I'm g
