….. Bonny POV ❣️

The following day, everywhere were still as quiet as it has been, ever since Zita died

Dorothy was still at Zita’s position
She was sitting with a girl who was Zita’s seatmate

I approached them, but before I reached there, I did a sign to the girl and she stood up and walked out
She had to, because she has seen me so many times with Jason and she knows how things were

“Hey” I greeted Dorothy as I tried smiling
She just nodded instead

I walked over, and sits at the girl’s position

“Am so worried Dor-Dor” I said looking at her but she didn’t bother listening because she ignored me

“What’s the problem Dorothy?” I asked tapping her a little

“Please, am not in a good mood now” Dorothy said

“That’s why am here, I don’t like seeing you like that” I said
She turned to look at me
Her face were somehow reddish

She has been really crying
Her eyes were charming but I couldn’t hold a steady look with her

“I want to help you to reduce the pain” I said bending my head a little bit down

“I don’t think you understand” she responded

“I do, just let me in” I tried convincing her
She didn’t say anything as she seems to be lost in thought

“Don’t worry, I will see you during break period” I added and left

She was really beautiful
I wouldn’t only go for Jason’s selfish interest but I will use the opportunity to take Dorothy’s advantage

Am not exceptional

On Friday, since Dorothy has refused talking to me as usual, I wanted to know where she lives
Maybe I could try another strategy

After school, I followed Dorothy without her knowing that

As she walks from the school to where she takes the public bus, I drove from behind
But the distance I kept, was unnoticeable

Immediately she got inside the public bus, I drove fast so that I wouldn’t lose them

After some minutes of driving, the bus stopped at a small store

Dorothy got down and walked in

As the bus drove off, I came closer to take a good look at the store

It was a small store
There was a man there who looks old enough to be Dorothy’s father

I guess, it was her father
The store was just a little but they had goods but no much patronizers

I felt pity for Dorothy
She didn’t actually come from a wealthy family

She doesn’t deserve bad but there’s no other option
I had to do what I want to achieve what I wished for
I got down the location, I had to do something with it

I was still looking at the store when Dorothy walked out
I gasped and drove off without taking a second look

…. Dorothy POV ❣️

It was Saturday morning and also a day of my full assistant to my Uncle

I dressed up and left for shop before him

That was not how I used to do it before but I only wanted the get relief a little

I wore my apron
Before my Uncle would have gotten to the shop, I have already sets everything at its position and it seems like we have much customers that day

“You are really fast” my Uncle said smiling
I had to smile back

We started attending to the customers but seems like what they wanted was in the spot I was

“Oh lots of customers, let me wait a little” I heard someone saying, from the back

“Let me attend to him since am free” my Uncle said
I just nodded although, I don’t know if it was necessary

Soon, my Uncle came back without saying anything
In few minutes, everywhere became clear

I started arranging the goods properly
I walked back inside where my Uncle was

“Who is here?” The question came from outside
I rushed out immediately to attend to the customer
The guy was backing our shop when I got out

“Please what do you want?” I asked looking straight at him
He gently turned

I couldn’t believe it was Bonny

“Bonny” I called out gently

“Surprised?” He asked smiling

“Are you not the same guy who I attended, that said you were looking for someone?” My Uncle asked from behind
I had to turn

“Yes sir, am looking for her” Bonny replied pointing at me

“Huh? Do you know him?” My Uncle asked referring to me

“He’s my classmate” I replied

“Is he David?” My Uncle asked
I could see when Bonny narrowed his eyes

“No, he is not” I replied

“Actually Sir” Bonny said interrupting us

“I am a concerned friend” he added

“Not bad” my Uncle responded

“I came because of how she has been, throughout this week” Bonny said

“So, you must have came for something?” My Uncle indirectly asked

“I don’t want that mood to kill her, so am here to make her day superb” Bonny said smiling
My Uncle turned to look at me but I looked away

“That’s the kind of friends I would love her to have although I don’t know you but please take care of her” my Uncle said

“What?” I asked as I turned to look at my Uncle

“Thank you sir” Bonny said smiling as he bowed a little

“Just go and remove your apron, I will manage” my Uncle said touching my apron
He shrugged and turned to go inside

“Do you think that I will just follow you?” I asked faking an angry face

“If not for me, respect your father then” he said
I know he would thought that my Uncle was my father

I walked inside
My Uncle walked outside immediately
I know he was avoiding me to make any statement

“I want something” someone said from outside
I rushed to attend to her but my Uncle was already there

“As you can see, just go and change” my Uncle said
I reluctantly walked back and changed to my previous wear

“Enjoy your day, don’t worry your heart so much” my Uncle said when I got out

“Uncle take care” I said and left

“I promise to bring her back safely” I heard Bonny telling my Uncle

Bonny ran ahead of me, straight to his car
He opened the door for me

I just shook my head and sat inside
He closed the door and walked over to the driver’s side

“I hope my queen is not angry with me?” He asked looking at me

“Better start the car” I said instead

“As you command” he said as he ignited the engine
I was forced to smile but I hides it

“So where should we go now?” He asked when we were halfway gone

I ignored him

“Well, I like your father”

“He’s a cool man and has an understanding” Bonny said but I ignored him
I wasn’t thinking straight
I wondered what would happen if any demon shows up

“But how about your mother?” He asked
Still, I ignored him

“Am just trying to help you out from this loneliness” he added
I guess, he felt bad because he stopped talking

I stylishly looked at him
His face wasn’t clear as normal

“He is not my father” I finally said

“What?, Let it not be what am thinking” he said

“I don’t know what you are thinking but my parents are still alive” I replied

“We will get time to talk about this when we get there, so where should we go now?” He asked that same question

“I can’t remember taking you out” I said instead
Of course, he understands what I meant

…. Faith POV ❣️

For the past two weeks, I wasn’t able to go back to complete my mission

“You are keeping long” the queen mother said as she appeared to me

“She caused it” I said

“What?” She asked

“Anytime I tried appearing to Jason, I felt something pushing me back”I replied

“I think there was something she gave to Jason that is preventing me” I added

“I have told you that you can’t kill Jason if she is still alive” the queen mother said

“But what could that be?” I asked

“What?” The queen mother asked

“The thing that would be pushing me away” I replied

“I have told you that, She has our forbidden leaf and she places it in the car” the queen mother replied

“What does it look like and why couldn’t I see it?” I asked

“You have human body and spirit body, so the leaf forbids the sight of such creature” the queen mother explained

“So if I should kill Dorothy, how will the leaf stop its work?” I asked because she has already placed it in his car

“Just don’t appear to him when he was close to his car” the queen mother replied

“But how can it be possible when I will have to kill him in a secret place where I wouldn’t be captured?” I asked

“You still have the power to disappear” she said

“I think I lost it, I could only disappear from here but when I appeared to the world, I won’t be able to disappear again unless I will move to a secret place where no one will see me” I replied

“I think, you are losing it” the queen mother said

“What?” I asked not getting it

“We need to act fast before it would be too late” she said instead

I wondered what she was talking about

….. Bonny POV ❣️

It was really a great day

We had lots of fun

Dorothy seems to be more lively than I thought
She held almost the whole conversation

We later got to a big restaurant where we ordered for our meal

“Thanks for making my day” Dorothy said

“You don’t have to thank me, it is privilege having you here, I always cry day and night that one day, you will let me, even if only to take you out” I said
Although it wasn’t true but I had to brainwash her

“You don’t really understand” she said

“Is it because of David?” I asked remembering when her Uncle asked if I was him
I felt jealous somehow

“Not really” she replied looking directly to my eyes
I felt it
I couldn’t keep my eyes straight at her
I just bend a little
I don’t really want to fall in love with her

“I noticed that you don’t chat with David as usual, what happened?” I asked because that was why I wanted to meet her again

“Am just burying Zita, that’s why” she replied
I wouldn’t buy that
I suspected something else must be there

“Do that have to do with ignoring David?” I asked

“I have to, because we don’t have to be happy” she replied

“I want to trust you, please tell me the truth” I persuaded
She started looking elsewhere
I waved at her face but she didn’t stop

I followed her eyes to its direction
She was actually looking at the crowd but there was nothing happening there

✓✓✓✓✓✓

……Dorothy POV ❣️

It was really great being with Bonny

It helps me in reducing the stress I had

Soon, I heard the noise
A demon must be around

I looked straight at the entrance door of the restaurant, I saw that same girl I saw, some weeks ago at the school

The noise was coming from there but I wasn’t sure if it was her

She turned to my direction and noticed that I was looking at her
Bonny was calling for my attention but I wasn’t ready to pay attention

I became scared that I picked up my small bag
I opened it and that leaf was still there
I breaths out and took it

I turned to the girl’s direction but she was no longer there
I traced the noise and saw her entering a car

I wouldn’t try following her because I couldn’t still stand her

I was yet to get the courage

….. David POV ❣️

That Saturday, I was in my room surfing the net which has been my normal way of living life

I remembered that our teacher said that police are releasing the dead bodies
I forgot to ask my Mom about father’s corpse
I had to do that when she comes back, in order not to look as if I was ignorant

I waved it off and continued my research
When the demon appeared

Recently, It seems to be a steady business with the demon because it always appears to me all the time

We do have conversations as normal being

“You get to take time” I teased but wasn’t smiling

“I have to come when am bored” the demon said

“Demons do get bored?” I asked

“We are still like human just that we have lost our body” the demon said

“I never knew, so why is it that I can’t see any other demon even if it is close to me?” I asked because I was curious

“Some people are born with the gift of seeing ghosts but as an ungifted person, it would only left for the ghost to let you see them, you are seeing me because I have something with you” she explained

…. Jason POV ❣️

I went for a little shopping that afternoon because I was bored

Jenny hasn’t been picking my calls

I wasn’t that much worried because Bonny is already in it

I trusted him in that

I needed a girl maybe I would be forgetting some things

I walked out from the boutique and straight to my car but I saw Faith standing few meters away from my car and me

Which means she was standing in between us

I remembered the first day I met her but something was telling me that we had a crash but I couldn’t figure out when and how

“Faith” I called walking closer to her

“Do you remember anything?” Faith asked
I guess she was asking about the same thing that was in my mind

Anytime I see her, I always feel pity for her
She seems lonely and I would like to use the opportunity

“Anything like what?” I asked

“Nevermind, are you going somewhere?” She asked back

“Not really, are you free?” I returned the question

“Actually, am just bored” she replied

“Why don’t we go somewhere else?” I requested
She shrugged smiling

“Okay then, let’s go” I said as I meant to walk to my car

“Let’s not use your car” she said and I stopped

“Why?” I asked

“I just want us to take a cab, it would be more convenient” she replied

“Okay then, let me put these things in my car” I said

She nodded and walked far from where my car was
I ignored that and walked to my car

I puts those things I bought

I got to where she was waiting for me

We boarded a cab

My intention was to have her on my bed because I couldn’t remember how we were separated
