Adrian slowly walked inside, his eyes dark and void of any form of emotions; he stood before Avery and Klein as a smirk finally spread through his lips.“It's time, and all of this will be over,” he assures her as his finger slowly trails around her tender face.“Adrian!” Avery suddenly called, he had no idea why she had called him like that, but he could feel that despite how locked Adrian was inside, he had responded to the call.“What do you think you are doing?” The dark master asked, furious about how Adrian was reacting to this.“Adrian, I know that you can hear me and I want to remind you about all the promises that you made to me….”“Stop right now!” The dark master could not bear it as his eyes went wild, yet Avery was stubborn and continued.“Adrian, you promised me that you will always be there to protect me through thick And thin…..”“I said stop!!” He roared in a deep voice as he slammed her hard. Avery fell to the floor; Klein, who was seated next to her, was surprised a
Jason was still inside when he noticed Adrian walk back inside, slamming the door shut before any other member could also walk in. Jason had his eyes wide open knowing that the ritual should have begun yet Adrian was back inside, clutching onto his head like it was about to explode.“Master! What is going on?” he drifted closer, stunned at what might truly be going on here.“Adrian, he is fighting back and my powers are not enough to sustain him, I need your powers” he suggested as he groaned, still clutching onto his head that seemed to be on fire.“But master…. My power is nothing to you, if yours can't sustain you, i don't think that mine will be of any use”He insisted, jason could feel his hands and feet trembling, fear took hold of him as he wondered what was going to happen to him.“Just do as I said!” Adrian growled in fury, Jason was immediately forced to move forward, but as Adrian grabbed his arm, he could tell that there was something else going on.“Master, you need to st
Fear took hold of Klein the moment Adrian turned around and stared at him with a dark gaze and then he turned to the men who had just brought him inside.“What about Jason, has he been found?”“No, master. We have been searching for him all through the sanctuary, but there is no trace of him”“That is strange; could he have fled at such a critical time,,” Adrian thought to himself, but loud enough for them to hear it.“Master, I suggest that we look through the spiritual mirror; if indeed he had fled from his task, then we will be able to see him,” the member suggested, but Adrian waved his hand dismissively at him.“There is no need for that. I can handle Jason. Get rid of everything, the ritual will commence in the morning by then I will be able to revive her using the blood of this lad here”Adrian suggested, pointing at Klein with a blank expression on his face. They nodded their heads, agreeing to what he had just said, and as soon as they walked out of the room, Adrian exhaled s
Adrian and Klein both stood in awe, their mouths wide open, their jaws to the ground as Klein fiddled with his finger while Adrian froze there for a moment.“Is there another antidote?” Adrian asked the moment that he regained himself after staring at it spill on the ground for a long while.“No boss, this is the only antidote that I came with not to mention that we only have a minute left, and Miss Avery will be dead for real”“Are you dumb? Why would you come with only one antidote, knowing how delicate this is? Besides, did you even tell her what was involved before getting her to do this?”“Yes, boss, I explained every single detail to her, and she accepted. Please, boss, we do not have time left, "Klein announced, and again, there was a knock from the members outside, who were growing more and more suspicious.Adrian started blankly around his environment and knowing that there was nothing that he could do about it, he immediately went on his knees and began dripping a dry cloth
Adrian knew that the rope had been disconnected from where he hung it, yet he still held onto the last strain hoping that there was a way he would be able to save just Avery.Just then, Avery opened her eyes, she was shocked to see herself standing in the air with a blanket wrapped from her to Adrian that was preventing her from falling off.“Ahhh!” She screamed at the top of her voice; Avery felt her head grow bigger at the sight; she was always afraid of heights, and now, it only got worse.“Avery, good thing that you are awake”“Adrian, is that truly you?” Her lips were trembling as she asked; she knew that was him, and because of that, she had a strain of hope.“Listen to me Avery, I don't have time to answer your question, but I need you to do exactly what I ask and I can assure you that we will be able to get out of here”“Okay, but the rope is shredding, we don't have much time left, so whatever it is that you think you are doing, you should do it as quickly as possible!”She i
Adrian, along with Avery and Klein, all rose to their feet as they watched the men storm out of there. First they were afraid as they had no idea what other crimes they might have committed until Mr. Daniel alongside his daughter and Mr. Woods stormed out of the car.“DADDY!” Avery yelled at the top of her voice as she rushed over to him, she had never been this happy to see him like this before. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and tears filled her eyes.“Daddy…. I was so scared, I never thought that I would ever get to see you again”“Me too. When I heard about what was happening, I blamed myself for neglecting you, if something had happened to you, trust me when I say that I wouldn't have been able to live with myself”The older man could not hold back the tears that formed in his eyes as he embraced his daughter with a heavy heart. Daniel and Freya stood before Adrian, their eyes scanning around him with so many questions in their heart as they were reluctant to engage
Finn, alongside the rest of his family, could feel their throat dry; Kelly could clearly hear the heartbeat of the others, and given how hungry she was, if she had the opportunity, she was ready to eat them alive.After Jason had left, he wanted to kill Kelly, but given how much Finn had pleaded with him, he finally decided to punish the entire family by locking them up in the basement of their apartment with no food or drink, and no matter how much they screamed, no one would be able to hear them.And as a result of that, the family blamed Finn for bringing Kelly into their home.“There were other girls from other wealthy families that you could have met with and taken our family from this burden that has been resting on our head, instead you chose a girl like her who has come to ruin her”“Come on Mom, don't put the blame on her, it is not her fault, you were the one who insisted that Dad worked with Jason even when Adrian was ready to help us for no cause”Finn sighed, he was getti
.Adrian stormed the sanctuary alongside thousands of soldiers and police. He stood outside with Klein standing next to him as he watched them burn the place down; although there were several members inside, he didn't care; he wanted them burned alongside the building.“After this, what next?” Klein asked, seeing the fury that swept through his face. He had never seen his boss this angry, and he knew that after the encounter with the dark master, something had changed within him.“I am going to find every other member left and I am going to have them killed, they hurt my family too much and I will be a fool to let them get away with it and I am going to be starting with Kelvin who seems to be on the run”“What about Jason? You do know that he is still alive, right?” asked, his face glued to Adrian like he was trying to take in all of his emotions.“I took away all of Jason's powers, he won't be able to do much now” There was shock on Klein's face for a breath moment before he asked;“
Kelvin remained standing, although he soon did not feel comfortable about his actions, yet he remained calm. “Whatever it is that you have to say, be quick with it and leave as soon as possible, I told you the last time that we met that I do not want to have anything to do with the underworld again”“The sanctuary was burnt down” Jason suddenly blurted, ignoring what Kelvin was ranting about.“That is a joke right?” Kelvin asked with a soft chuckle that escaped his lips. “The sanctuary is filled with supernatural items, there is no way that he would burn down no matter what they did, which is why I think that this is a joke”“You think that I will drive all the way to your house in the middle of the night just to crack jokes with you. You are right in some aspect, the sanctuary can't burn down with just natural flames unless it is one with the power of the flames”Jason explained as Kelvin thought about it for a while and could not seem to comprehend what it meant.“Look here Jason, I
Jason opened his eyes as he felt his head banging with pain. He hasn't been without his powers for a long time now and without it, he felt so weak that it was killing him.His eyes trail around the basement as he realizes that he is all alone in there. All members of the Smith family were gone, and with his head pounding with pain, he raised his arm to touch his head and realized that there were traces of blood,d, which was the source of the pain.Jason exhaled softly before he sat upright, filled with regret as to how he had let his guard down. Just while he was still trying to get a grasp of himself, he stared at his phone and realized there were ten missed calls and fifteen messages from his right-hand man.“Fuck!” he cursed, rising to his feet, and despite how weak and sour he felt from the pain and beating he had received, he still hurried away from the apartment.He got into his car and sped off, arriving at the scene where all the men had been lined up and waiting for his arriv
First, they were reluctant to accept the food as they had no idea what sick games he was trying to play. Mrs. Smith stretched out her arm to grab one of the meals that was carefully packaged in a takeout, but her husband immediately stopped her before turning his attention to Jason. “Mr. Jason, why have you brought us this food, is that the way you want to have us killed?” Mr. Smith asked but Jason chuckled so loud that one would think there was not a hint of danger around him. “Poison you, I mean that is an insult to me, if I want you dead, there are just several ways that I would do it and I might not even have to lift a finger, why would I go through the stress of having you poisoned” He explained and knowing how powerful he was, they thought that he was right. “If that is not the case, then why have you brought food to my family when I know that you are going to end up killing us after these” Mr. Smith asked, and this time, Jason, who seemed to be losing his patience, f
Jason was filled with rage when he arrived at the sanctuary; so many members had all burned down, and those who had survived were barely recognized, not to mention the items they had lost.“Boss! What are we going to do now?” His right-hand man, who had called him on the phone when all of this started, asked.“Where were you when the fire started and why couldn't you put it off with your powers?” Jason scolded, he was so angry that he badly needed someone he was going to take out his anger on.“I am sorry Boss, I tried my best, but the fire was no ordinary one, it was Adrian's flame, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't stop instead it just kept getting worse”He explained. Jason's face had turned red, with bulging veins from his forehead like twisted ropes; his eyes were blazing with fury that his right-hand man had to drift backward for fear of what he might do to him.“Adrian….” He groans with his fist clenched. “You have done so much, and I think that it's time to get my revenge;
The entire family was silent for a long while like they were expecting Kelly to do the talking. Tears trickled down her cheek while she thought of what to say and yet she could not think of any.“Kelly! You heard what my uncle just asked you and we really would like to know, how can we be certain that you are not lying to us and this is not part of some sort of sick game from Jason which you are just involved in?”Adrian went ahead to imply with Avery still seated next to him.“I don't know how else I can prove myself to you all, better still, you can send someone to go and check on the Smith family, you will find them locked up in the basement and then you will realize that what I am saying is the truth”She assured them, this time, there was a hint of combination in their face as they thought about it and the possibility that it might indeed be true.“Adrian, what do you think?” Grandpa Hallow sought his opinion, but after the conversation that he had earlier today with Klein, Adria
The car came to a halt right at the parking lot of the Wesley estate, with Adrian hurrying inside. In the living room were Grandpa Hallow, Daniel, Uncle Sean, Uncle Theo, Aunt Amelia, Claire, Sarah, and Freya. Avery stood at the door; she had always been finding it difficult to get along with the family and thought that she should take it slowly.There was the visitor whom Avery had spoken about on the phone, which was Kelly. Kelly sat on the single couch; she looked unkempt, her hair disheveled, and Adrian could barely recognize her as he walked in.“Kelly?” he asked, his eyes scanning around her, yet he did not forget to give Avery a gentle kiss before he turned to Kelly.‘Kelly, is that you?” he asked again; it was so hard for him to believe that this was truly her and how possible she had lost so much weight. Kelly lowered her head with a shy smile; she knew that she wasn't at her best, which only made her more embarrassed that she couldn't look him in the face.“How have you been
