The demon

EPISODE 1

Nick Robert, The son of the mysterious man who appears and vanishes as a ghost and his occupation only a few knew of it.

Nick grew up with his uncle, Harry who was a blacksmith. Nick always wondered why his father never had time for him and could only be seen twice in a month.

Harry raised him up as a child and took all responsibility to sponsor him even though he never had a child of his own.

"Dad am off to school!". A voice rang from inside as he hammered a hot iron on an anvil.

"When did i become your father nick?". He asked continuing the hammering.

The door opened and a teen boy stepped out.

"Since you raise me as your child". He said.

"Stop it nick, am your not your father". Harry said.

"Really? A dad who don't care a damn about me.. Where his huh?". Nick said almost shouting.

"He's busy nick that's the reason". He said and used a tong to pick the hot iron.

"Busy doing what? What's more important than his soon?". Nick said angrily.

"Your father is doing the best he can for you so don't think he doesn't remember you". Harry Said and dropped it into a water.

Nick hugged him tightly..

"Uncle please just tell me where does my dad goes every time". Nick asked.

"When it's time you'll know nick?". He said.

Nick walked away from him.

"Is that an answer?".

"Of course". Harry replied.

"Am off to school then". He said and walked away.

"Stay out of trouble and don't join gangs". Harry said as nick approached his bicycle.

"Well am trouble myself and am the leader of a gang". Nick said with a funny smile.

"What did you say?". Harry asked and the hot iron on the tong fell off that he had to jumped back so his skin wouldn't be burn.

"Just Kidding uncle". Nick said and climbed his bicycle before paddling away.

It took about five minutes and he finally got to school.

He got down, adjusted his bag and walked toward the building.

Nick was amazed by the new structures in the school as he watched in awe and walked side way.

He bump into some one and her book fell from her hand scattering all over the ground.

"Oh my God.. Am sorry". He said squatting to pick them when he heard a voice.

"if it had been me am a 100% hundred percent sure that you'll walk".

Nick pauses and smile forced out of his face.

His eyes rose up slowly looking at the four legs in front of him.

The girl he collided unto and of course....

Nick sprang up to his feet.

"Glenn!". He shouted and shook hand with the boy by the girl's side.

"Welcome from summer bro". Glenn said.

"I really missed you guys like.......". Nick was saying when the girl interrupted.

"Are you really gonna leave my books down here?". She asked pointing to the ground.

"Of course.. Em no...". He shrugged and packed the books from the ground.

"I bet you wouldn't do that for me?". Glenn said.

"When am. Not sick and even if you try to charm me into it, it won't work". Nick said.

"You haven't changed at all". Glenn Said.

"Well meet my sister Laura". Glenn said pointing to girl by his side.

"Huh? Tell me you ain't serious.. I literally packed your sister's book". Nick said.

"And knocked off my tea too". She said pointing to a broken ceramic cup on the ground with spilled tea.

"Really?". Nick said scratching his head.

"Laura meet Nick, My Friend". Glenn said.

She stretches forth her hand for a shake and he extended his too but unexpected she slapped his hand.

"Thanks for the books.. Now the tea... I guess we meet on a good ground". Laura said.

"Really? Nice meeting you Laura". Nick said.

"And nice meeting you cup breaker". She said.

"Can just rewind all that happened and I'll watch my step this time around?". Nick said.

Glenn laughed and grabbed him away.

"Brother, My tea". Laura shouted.

"I bought it for you so it's literally mine right?". He said and she frowned.

"You'll have to get me another". She said and walked away.

"Was that a command or a request?". He said turning back but she was gone.

"Let's go bro".

"Hey!". They heard a voice and turned back to meet a boy standing there with his bag.

"oh my God is this Lance?". Nick exclaimed.

"It's me bro, so so long?". Lance said.

"Who's that fat chubby guy ?". Glenn said pointing far away to a boy who got down from the bus 🚍.

"a new student i guess and with that kinda stature, we'll it's left for you if you fall into his troubles". Lance said.

"Well i Would love to try?". Glenn said.

"Well you're free to go, I'll prepare a coffin ⚰ when To the class". Lance said and they walked away laughing.

"Uncle Harry am home". Nick said entering into the house but there was no response.

"Uncle Harry". He called out again wanting to enter his room but sighted the door to the basement slightly open with a key in the key hole.

The door was always locked and he had been restricted from trying to open it.

Nick took off his bag and tip toed in.

He opened his eyes widely trying to see through the darkness but it was useless.

As he continued walking his face entangled into a cob web 🕸 and he almost scream out.

He began to remove it from his face and continued moving.

His hand was ahead of him as he walked to to know if there's an obstacle ahead.

He mistakingly pressed a switch and the entire light in the room became active. He could see clear now.

His eyes caught with a man sitting on a chair and reading a book, the man sprang up and turned back. It was uncle Harry.

"nick what are you doing down here?". He asked.

"I saw the door opened maybe i should ask you that". Nick said looking around.

"What?". Nick shouted and picked the picture of his father on the table.

He looked up and down and saw varieties of symbols on the wall.

"You need to leave now". Harry said.

Nick mistakingly hit a projector and the rays shown out displaying a man as he poured ashes around a woman who looked possessed and she couldn't come out of the circle anymore.

"Dad never allows me to this room Who is he? ". Nick asked.

" It's okay nick, let's go ". Harry said.

" Not until you tell me who my dad is ". Nick said angrily.

" The only reason am telling you right now is because he's dead ". Harry said.

" No no tell me you're joking ". Nick shouted.

" It's the truth nick, that's why he haven't come home this month". Harry said.

"No no this isn't true". Nick cried out.

"He died protecting this city". Harry said.

"protecting it from what?". Nick asked.

"Demons.... You're father is a demon hunter". Harry said..
