THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS THE END WILL ALWAYS JUSTIFY THE MEANS
As the commander of this mission, Shifter was seen floating ahead of the rest of the demons. For the first time in a million years, Shifter had the chance to impress Shrek, and for this, she was ready to give more than her best. Nothing must ever go wrong. Like all obsessors, Shifter worships the ground that Shrek stepped on, she could do anything for him. Laid down her life if needed. Isn't that the greatest sacrifice? The greatest love? After some minutes, Shifter arrived at the interior section of a white-painted classroom, and her demon's eyes darted around in search of the target. No ghost nor hologram. Where could they be hidden? Shifter growled as she stepped towards a space beside Jimmy and then placed her palm on the chair."Where is the ghost, chair?""Left through the window," the chair muttered. Not with a physical mouth, but through some kind of electric display of light and shapes."So, where are they now?" "The wind informed me that they entered into the school fo
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS POLICE AND THIEVES
While growing up, one of Terry's favorite games is a game of police and thieves. Some section players will act as the police while the other sections act as the thieves. The police will pursue the thieves, shooting them with toy guns until they are all killed or captured. Never in Terry's imagination had he ever believed this game would be of use one day. "On the floor now, Terry," Holo's scream jolted Terry out of his wandering thought."Now shoot towards nine O'clock, Terry ."Terry turned towards his left side, pulled the trigger, and sprayed the bullets of his gun blindly."Good. Two are down. Go back to safety now."Terry immediately rolled back to the back of a fallen tree. "Do you see the last demon, Holo?""No, I don't. But that doesn't mean he is not there. Remain covered until I tell you otherwise."Terry grunted out loudly. This is the hardest part of his mission. Shooting blindly. How on earth will he survive against these demons when he can't see them?"I have seen the l
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS LIFE IS NEVER FAIR
Shrek arrived immediately the ambulance carrying Jimmy and Terry left the school premises. Shrek would have arrived earlier, but the most wanted demon was looking for another host and he only came back to Bobby when all his search proved abortive. Because of the overwhelming smell of Sulphur, Shrek knew some demons just left before he arrived. Oh...hell. He was lucky to have escaped being seen. Shrek soon saw Bobby among the chattering students, and since he had previously possessed him, the second possession was without any drama.As soon as Shrek possessed Bobby, Bobby stood up, gawked around, and began to walk out of the class. "Wait, Bobby.""What for?"Our mathematics teacher is on her way to our class."Bobby turned towards the source of the voice. He was the scrawny-looking boy who tried to stop him from stabbing Terry. Bobby raised a brow and then offered what could be likened to a sardonic smile. "Who cares?""We have a mathematic text today, Bobby. Have you forgotten?"Bo
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS THE DEMON'S ANVIL
After being interrogated by some officers, John was granted bail but he was warned from stepping out of the city and then instructed to be available for further interrogation whenever the need arose. A few minutes later, John was seen walking with a lack of alacrity out of the police station. In a few hours, the happy-looking teacher was a shadow of himself. "Hey, John. Come over here."He turned towards the source of the voice and a dry smile immediately appeared on his face. "Come in and let me drive you home. "John pulled the jeep door open and hopped inside. "Nice of you to come to pick me up, sir."The man on the wheel displayed an impeccable set of white teeth. "Don't mention, John. I'm happy to be of help."John breathed out loud as he eased himself into the front chair. He jerked the seatbelt, fixed it into the available hole, and then gestured to the man to drive out of the police station's car park. "I heard everything that happened, John. Be at ease. I have settled it."
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS A DANGEROUS MISSION
Ale found it difficult to breathe. Not that he had a breathing problem or a weak heart. His difficulty in breathing was the result of his troubled mind. Shifter had been sent to her death, and Kaul had warned against sending any demons to help her. I can't stand and watch, Ale thought as he walked to and fro inside the haunted church. He realized he couldn't just fold his hand and watch Shifter walk to her death. He must act now. He can't risk her dying when her death will destroy everything in him. He had vowed to protect Shifter with his life and this he was bound to do. Let Kaul go to hell if he wants. He realized any action he takes will amount to going against Kaul's order. Did he have a choice?When he can no longer bear the torment in his heart, Ale summoned some demons to his presence.

THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS A KNACK FOR ATTRACTING DEATH
Cynthia peeks through the keyhole on the door, and her heart nearly flies out of her chest when she sees the doctor picking up a surgical knife and then wobbling towards Jimmy. What is Doctor Jason up to? Without a moment to think, Cynthia jerked the door open and raced towards the hunching doctor. "Stop, Doctor Jason," she screamed, but the doctor seemed to be deaf to her plead. Out of desperation, Cynthia picked up a tray along the way and then smacked it on the doctor's back before he could do real damage."Ouch!" The doctor said as he staggered and fell. Blood trickled from Jimmy's neck from where the doctors had stabbed him. Fortunately enough, it was just a superficial wound. Why did everyone want to kill this boy? Cynthia asked no one in particular. From what she heard, Jimmy was attacked by his teacher for no reason. Now, a well-behaved doctor was about to cut his head off from his neck. Something is going on. While Cynthia was lost in thought, Terry and Holo floated throug
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS YOU ARE A MAN, DIE LIKE ONE
John was having a nice dream. The kind of dream you hate to be woken up from. So when he heard a noise inside his room, John woke with anger and glared around. A moment later, his eyes became huge when he discovered the source of the noise. "I hate killing people in their sleep," the man standing in front of John with a pointed gun said. "And did you know why?" He asked and then resumed his speech without waiting for John's response, "because I would hate to be killed in my sleep as well. And the reason is because I would love to see the face of my killer so that I can haunt him or her in my next life."John stared at the invader. Apart from his eyes and nose, all his body parts were paralyzed and his brain refused to give any command to wake them up. After a growl-kind of a laugh, the assassin asked, "Won't you ask me who am I, who sent me, or how I gained access to your well-guarded house?"John stammered back, "I...I may not...not know how you entered, but I know..know who you ar
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS THE RENOVATION
The first visitors to the abandoned church were the cleaning agency, and before the truck from the Shoplift store arrived, the dirty church was swept, washed, and then sprayed with nice fragrances. In a few hours, everywhere was as clean as the road to heaven. The goods delivered consist of pieces of audio equipment, sets of drums, speakers, microphones, sets of furniture, a video projector, and lightning. Based on Judas' instructions, everything was packed inside the room attached to the church. As soon as the Shoplift store's truck drove out of the compound, another truck drove in, it consisted of the builders that were assigned to renovate the church, their workers, and the materials needed to get their work done. Throughout the time humans spend in the church, Ale and the rest of the demons sit as quietly as a demon can, and their eyes watch the ongoing project. After making sure everything needed was available, Judas gestured to Ale to come with him to a deserted part of the chu

A BLESSING OR A CURSE?
Danny was back in the clinic barely after a few hours of stepping out of it. This time around, he had no choice but to speak a half-truth. His neighbor's house was on fire, so he helped in putting out the fire. And that was where he sustained the burn on his back.

THE NICE GUY
The past twenty-four hours had been blurry. A kind of journey between earth and hell. Between Realities and hallucinations. But at last, Jimmy woke up and his eyes darted around. His heart missed a breath when he saw the man staring down at him. Bobby. But his rioting mind soon calmed down when he saw the lady beside him. He knew this lady. She had been appearing in his dreamlike existence. Cleaning his wound and bandaging him up. "Howie friend. Glad you're back from the dreamland."That was Bobby's voice. He called him a friend. Satisfying but Unbelievable. Jimmy felt as if he was still stranded in the dreamland. Cynthia offered a reassuring smile as she muttered, "I thought you won't make it and sometimes wonder what I have gotten myself into," she paused and her smile soon radiated over her round face. "your recovery is a wonder, Jimmy. And I can't believe that your bones were almost healed. This is a miracle, Bobby.Bobby knew it wasn't a miracle. The demon in him told him. Th
THE STREET LAW

ANOTHER SUCKER

However, the agent was delayed by an unexpected hold-up. Roland adjusted the telescope in his hand, focusing his gaze on Judas. Due to some unknown interference with the speakers placed close to the church, Roland's conversation with a young man sounded like a rat scratching a rubber tank. Roland had to do with looking at them which wasn't enough. He wishes he knew about lip reading. Vain wish. As for the young man, Roland believe he was just another sucker to be leached.
