9 Years Ago

Gazer POV

For the third time, I gasped again as I wiped my wet hair and faced Damon’s small mirror.

"I also want to help. I want to know something about the person I'm helping."

I remembered again what Erelah had said earlier. I don't have a problem if she helps Damon, my only reason is that I don't want to tell her everything because she will know our work and I know she will report to the police.

I lowered the towel I was holding and then looked at my reflection.

"I don't want to go back to a time when I would lose myself again."

I suddenly clenched my fist as I remembered the last conversation we had with Damon when he was in the hospital.

His illness returned, and his fear returned. I feel sorry for my friend because of what he faces.

I got out of the CR and looked in the direction of Erelah who was sleeping on the sofa, Havacco looked in my direction then laughed.

"Is that stress?" I stared at him then sat in a chair and poured water into a glass.

"What's the plan?" Havacco asked then blew his cigarette. I poured water into the glass then replied he thought.

"Nothing will change. Do the mission but we won't include Damon first." I said, he laughed.

"I mean, what's your plan with Achaz? You know what Achaz can do." He said, I averted my eyes, that's what I was thinking before, Achaz would interfere with our mission. Achaz and Damon are so different, we've been with Achaz once and that's something Havacco and I will never forget.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, as I took a deep breath my memories of when we first saw Damon came back.

"Hey, kid!" I shouted at the boy standing at the top of the tree, he looked at me, a cold look but noticeable blood on his face and clothes. I frowned as I looked at him.

"What are you doing there? It's late at the midnight, why are you still climbing that tree?" I told the boy I think he was only my age, I think we were both twelve years old, but not like me who was dirty and unkempt, the boy at the top of the tree was wearing luxurious clothes but there was blood on its clothes.

"Hey, Rodolfo, who are you talking to?" I looked up at my caller, Shawn. He approached me and then looked at what I was looking at.

"Hey kid, what are you doing there?" Shawn asked the boy in the tree in surprise.

"Suicide." The boy said coldly so Shawn and I looked at each other and then laughed at the same time, is this boy going crazy?

"Hey kid, you won't die if you jump off a tree, you'll just break a bone." Laughing Shawn said then looked at me.

"Is there blood on his face and clothes?" He asked, I shrugged and then looked at the child.

"Hey kid, get down there, if you want to die jump on the bridge then, you're going to fall into the river, there are a lot of rocks under there when you fall there your head will be stuck in the rocks," I said while laughing, we stopped at Shawn's laughter as someone pulled the child out from behind him.

"H-Hey, why do you have a gun?" Shawn and I asked nervously, the boy still in the tree had no emotion, he looked at the gun he was holding and then looked at us.

"I'll shoot myself." He said, so Shawn and I looked at each other, this kid looks crazy, is he going to shoot himself? This one is a suicidal maniac.

"But because you told me to jump off the bridge, that's all I'm going to do." He said softly so Shawn and I watched him come down from the tree, we were swallowed by the child in front of us.

"A-are you losing your mind? W-where are your parents?" Shawn asked nervously, the boy looked at Shawn and then handed the gun he was holding to him, nervously Shawn took his gun and then looked at me.

"Dead." The boy said coldly then turned away from us, Shawn and I looked at each other and then looked at the boy at the same time.

"D-Dead already?" We asked, the boy turned to face us again and then stared at us seriously.

"While ago." He said coldly so I swallowed, didn't he say that his parent just died?

"Your parent died recently?" Shawn asked, making me even more nervous, the boy nodded in response.

"W-what is the cause of their died?" I asked, the boy looked at me, his gaze was frightening, there was no emotion in his face and eyes, he was like a robot.

"They were killed." He answered sparingly so Shawn and I looked at each other, then we looked at Shawn's gun from the child, and then we looked at the child with blood.

"W-Who killed?" Shawn asked nervously, the boy averted his eyes so my eyes widened.

"A-Are you?" Wrestling I asked, he shook his head so I could breathe a little easier.

"Eh who?" Shawn asked.

"Achaz." the child said coldly then looked at us.

...............

The boy we had seen earlier took us to an exclusive village, all the houses here were separate. Quiet and without too many people, because at night and dark the village looks like a ghost town in very silence.

We stopped in front of a nice house so Shawn and I looked at each other and then at the boy.

"Is your house here?" I asked, he nodded then started walking towards the open gate. Shawn and I followed him until we could get inside.

This house is big, the appliances are expensive and the people who live here are rich. Shawn and I looked around as we followed the child.

"It's your wealth," Shawn said then touched an expensive object, I immediately tapped his hand then widened his eyes.

"You might break," I whispered so it pouts then followed the boy again, we climbed their elegant stairs and entered a room.

Shawn and I almost turned our stomachs when we saw the blood and various parts of the human body.

The fear in Shawn and I's chest immediately came to life because of what we saw.

One foot is on the sofa, the broken hand is on the piano, a woman’s head is attached to a mannequin and what’s worse is that the woman’s body has a man’s head placed on its neck and sewn up.

"Who did this?" Shawn asked scared, the boy looked at us.

"Achaz." He said coldly. I could not lose sight of the child's tears.

"But why do you have blood on your clothes and your body and face?" I asked. The boy averted his eyes and then turned away from us.

"Achaz is inside me."
