Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Finn’s sense of self was in a daze. He looked around in a haze, like the world around him was no longer a space he’s familiar with. “Boss,” he called out after a long while of silence, of soaking in his surroundings. He needed explanations to why he’s currently laid in some circle drawn out of salt, why he feels as though he just woke up from a long sleep. “What’s going on?” His voiced out between heavy breaths, still looking around himself for clues that explains the situation to him. Avon lowered himself near Finn, “How are you feeling?” He sounded genuine, and he was. His eyes drew shades of worries. He could only imagine how it feels to be a prisoner of his own mind and body for the past better part of a decade, hosting a powerful dark entity and slaving around for him. It’s a miracle he returned to himself sane. “Though it feels like I just woke up from a long sleep. But I still think I need some sleep, a little bit of it more,” Finn answered truthfully, wearine
Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Finn’s eyes were pitched black, darkened like a soulless void. He was knelt still in the circle and fist folded as he glared dangerously at Avon. “Now what’s next? Am I suppose to leave him there to murder me with his eyes?” Avon was wary, uncomfortable under the weight of his glare. “Yeah,” Lewis responded nonchalantly. “He’s powerless in there, and stuck in there. He can’t get out of there unless he let go of his host, and the only way he can do that is to release his soul,” he said in addition. “Can he talk?” “Release me!” Avon’s question was answered when an old grumpy voice thundered out of Finn in different voices. “Where did you put my wife?” Avon grilled as he began to paraded the circle. “How did you get a hold of my assistant in the first place? Why did you become my enemy?” “One question at a time, mortal.” A creepy dark smirk pulled over Finn’s face as his head followed Avon’s movements around. “You wish to know where your wife is hidden? Then break thi
Chapter 22
Chapter 22 With Lewis’s guidance, Avon got a hold of Elizabeth’s, his grandmother’s grimoire. Inside were a lot of rituals and spell incantations to study and enact. But none piqued his interest than the spell that has to do with certain severance and marking. When he got to the page dedicated for a ritual as such, he laid it bare in front of Lewis to inspect and enlighten. Avon doesn’t know anything about rituals or incantations, neither was he vast in any magical knowledge. “It says here, the possessed needs to be around, in the center of the runes,” Lewis began to break down what he could understand as his fingers trailed over the page’s surface. “We’ll need salt to carve the runes, natural elements are required. So we need candles to stand in for fire, sand for earth, the wind itself will role as our air, and finally water.” As Lewis clarified. Avon went on to gather the necessary supplies stated in need for the ritual. In no time, he’s found a jar filled with sand in one o
Chapter 21
Chapter 21 “Yeah what do you have for me?” Avon inquired once he picked Simon’s phonecall. “It’s about Damien Barksdale sir,” Simon responded on his end. “Do tell….” “Did a little digging and research on the name, the name did not existed until few years ago. The man however existed, but was under a different name or identity. I found a totally different background on him compared to what you’re informed or told. Your Damien Barksdale use to go by Gregory Ackles, was a commercial model and a social media personality. He got into a fatal accident that nearly ended his life but has him in a coma instead few years ago, around the same year Damien Barksdale came into existence and Gregory suddenly faded out of existence,” He gave the report, clear on the details. Avon scoffed a muted scoff. So Faye wasn’t lying, not like he expected that she was, but it’s still shocking that she was right. “Good Job Simon, but there’s one more thing I’ll need you to do for me?” “I’m at
Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Damian stepped back as an awkward smile lightened his face. “I was about to take my leave, and thought I could bade you a proper goodbye,” he came up with a believable excuse. However, Avon was smart enough to not believe his words. He knew he was eavesdropping, and would rather not push on it. There’s a case more serious he has to deal with. That is, the safety of his little guy, and Death’s abrupt capture of his wife and assistant. “Goodbye!” Avon said to him before he broke back into a run, rushing down the hallway that leads to Atlas’s room. He got there in a matter of seconds as he barged into the room. His sight settled on Atlas cuddled up against the headboard of his bed, shaky and filled with fright. “Mom! Mom!!” He called out repeatedly in whispers, whimpering and riddled with fear. “Hey there little guy.” Avon quickly walked up to him and sat down beside him. “You’re okay, your mom is going to be okay,” he assured him before he drew him close into his arms a
Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Avon excused himself and Finn, took him away to his office to avoid violence in front of everyone at the living room. Damien had stayed back to continue his familiarization with Avon’s in laws. Castian also had to give them space, so it was Avon and Finn alone who went to his office. “I’m just going to ask you once, so your answer better be worth it,” Avon informed as he walked over to his desk, arching his back as he leaned his hand over the desk. “You were gone, why did you leave? And why are you back?” Finn snickered as he looked around the office, “Seriously take a good look at me,” he said as he presented himself in a glaring manner. “Do I look like your assistant? I mean sure I have his face, but does it seem like I’m the man who used to work for you?” Avon stared with confusion, his brows furrowed as he wondered what he was talking about. “Huh?” “Okay let me be straight with you, I am not Finn. Finn isn’t dead… yet, his soul needs to be alive for me to keep his
