The Messiah in Black

Chapter Five

William’s POV:

    Ada came back to the pocket dimension after three minutes but she told me she had spent three hours in the real world, I guess time runs differently here.

“I was able to cover up our tracks so the cops wouldn’t be able to trace anything back to us, I gathered enough evidence and took it to the FBI without revealing my identity, the evidence points to Jerry working with the two Cartels and I uncovered everything about Tracy’s death to them”

Ada said as she got back, she was able to do this under three hours, I’m impressed but I wasn’t going to tell her that, anyways I said

“Lemme guess, Carlos and Steven have been taken in by the FBI and Jerry was taken accountable for his actions but what about his murder?”

“I pinned it on the cartels and the FBI believed my false evidence but the main point is that we’re both cleared as nothing is traced back to us”

“You used magic I presume”

“What’s the good of having powers if you ain’t gonna use it”

Ada said as I just smiled then she looked at me and said

“I think you need to chill for a bit, try to grieve her”

“What good is grief if justice have been served”

I said as I got up and turned to Ada then I said

“Let’s go, I’ve got a funeral to plan”

Ada opened up a portal and we both walked into it and then we appeared at my penthouse, it was day time now, we got in as I made a few calls and a funeral was planned, I set the date to tomorrow, I wanted to grieve her but I wanted to get it over with as soon as possible as they’re other matters that needed to be delt with.

I went to my room after everything had been planned and I took five bottles of whiskey, I was in my room for the rest of the day as I told Ada I wanted to be left alone, She respected my wishes as she didn’t bother me till the next day.

I woke up the following morning as I felt a slight headache, probably because I was hungover, I got outta bed and sat on the chair in my room, I looked down on the floor as my head was blank, I felt sadness and hopeless as if there was nothing I could do,

Tracy was a very close friend and she was one of the only people that gets me, her death felt like I’ve lost a part of myself and there was no way of coming back from it,

Ada knocked on the door but I didn’t answer, she had to barge in herself to see me sitting on the chair looking depressed, I didn’t even react when she barged in, she just looked at me and said

“William you’ve gotta snap outta it, I know how it feels to lose a loved one but life goes on and we gotta go with it, either good or bad”

I slowed raised up my head and looked at her, I said nothing as my face was blank, I just looked down to the floor, Ada sighed and said

“Look at yourself, you look so unkept and fucking depressed, I can’t believe this is the arrogant, self centered asshole I saved from those angels”

I didn’t say anything as I knew she just wanted to make me angry, maybe to pull me outta my depressed state but whatever she was trying to do, it wasn’t working, my heart was heavy as it was filled with grief, I thought being angry and unleashing it on Jerry would work but no it didn’t,

Ada just looked and then she blasted me with darkness, I felt a sharp pain in my head as I screamed and then I saw flashbacks, none of it was clear but from what I could tell, the landscape was dark and kinda hot and then I saw a woman in the hospital and as I wanted to go closer to her it stopped,

“What was that for?!!”

I yelled at Ada, she answered

“I tried to jumpstart your memory”

“Why?”

“Isn’t it obvious, to pull you out of your depressed state and to see the truth about yourself”

“The bloody truth you refuse to tell me”

“There’s more to you that you don’t know William, I sense you saw something, what was it?”

“Well I saw myself is some kind of place, it was dark and bloody hot and then I saw a woman in a bloody hospital, I tried to go closer to her but it stopped”

“Can you draw her?”

Ada asked and then I took a pen and paper and drew her face, Ada saw it and said

“We’ll deal with this after the funeral but for now get dressed and do something about your hair, it looks messy”

She left as I looked at the mirror, I wasn’t looking good at all, I looked at the side of the bed and saw five empty bottles of whiskey, I realized that I finished five bottles of whiskey when trying to drown my sorrows last night, damn I’m in bad shape,

I quickly got prepared and went downstairs to Ada who was waiting for me, she opened a portal but I told her to close it, I wanted to drive, the portal thing wasn’t really my style besides I’ve got cars for a reason.

We both got into the car and drove to the cemetery, on our way there I asked Ada

“How did you make those FBI badges? Don’t say magic”

“I harnessed carbon from the air which is also gotten from burnt paper and then I reconstructed it’s molecules using directed energy turning it into FBI badges, basically I used moleculer reconstruction”

“Okay that won’t be possible without advanced tech, that means you used”

I sighed before I completed my sentence

“Magic”

Ada just smiled and said

“Magic always have a cost, whatever you do with it there’s always a cost, it’s similar to science but has it’s own differences”

“So magic and science are the same but different?”

“Yes they’re, you may doubt it but there’s a level science will get and it will be considered sorcery”

Ada said as I just nodded my head as I thought about it for a while before accepting it, there’s some truth in what she said, anyways as we got to the cemetery, the funeral had already started, everyone was standing around her grave as the priest was making a speech,

I and Ada just stood at the back as Ada asked

“Who are all these people?”

“Friends, well-wishers people no body cares about, none of these bloody ingrates knew Tracy, all bloody pretenders”

Ada just sighed, when the coffin was been lowered to the ground, people threw in flowers and faked their emotions, each of them cried as if they truly knew her, bloody ingrates they are,

Anyways when everyone left, I and Ada went closer to her grave, we both looked down as Ada said

“I may not have known you that well but you seemed like a great person, I which I had known you better, I hope you’re in a better place”

Ada threw a flower inside her grave and it landed on top of the coffin, she then walked away just to give me a moment with Tracy,

“Well what can I say, I was never a good friend but you’ve always got my back, I should have done more, I should have been there when you needed me the most but instead I went on to pursue my ambitions leaving you to fend for yourself in the streets, I’m sorry for everything”

I said as tears rolled down my checks

“I remember when I was in disarray but you were there to support me, I remember when people called me a freak but you stood by my side and defended me, we went through a lot in the streets, you were the one true friend I’ve ever got and I know you won’t want me to wallow in the past, you would want me to move on and that’s what I’ll do, See you on the flip side”

I said and threw a flower into her grave and then I walked towards Ada and we got into the car, Ada looked at me and asked

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, never better”

I said as I started the car and drove off, when we got to my penthouse, I told Ada to open up a portal to London, I haven’t conducted a healing service for a while and my followers must have been getting worried

Ada opened up the portal as we both walked into it and appeared in London, I quickly called some people and had them prepare my sanctuary, I arrived and changed into my white colored Messiah robes and activated the glow, Ada just looked at me as she was astonished, she had never seen me with the glow before.

“Wow you look divine, so this is how you deceive people to think that you’re the Messiah”

“I am the Messiah”

“So I hear”

“When am done with the healing service let’s find that woman I saw in my flashback”

I said as I went on stage and addressed everyone at the sanctuary, I told everyone that this particular service was gonna be free, no one knew why I did that but I did it in honor of Tracy,

The sick was brought to me and I healed them, the dead where brought to me abd I resurrected them, I was expecting to bleed from the nose or somewhere else but I didn’t, I began to wonder why resurrecting Martin Luther made me bled,

I still had to investigate that incident but for now a lot of people needed to be healed and resurrected, I noticed that my sanctuary was filled as there was no space to contain everyone, probably because I was doing today’s service for free, people did like free things so I wasn’t expecting less,

I finished the service by midnight as there was a lot of people, I don’t do midnight services but this was different it was like I wanted to heal everyone even if I couldn’t do it all at once,

I had to close the service so everyone could go home, those who couldn’t stayed the night at the sanctuary, when I came down the stage I was looking for Ada and I found her by the corner sleeping, I just looked at her and smiled,

“Such a headache but a very pretty one, oh bloody hell William, what have you gotten yourself into”

I whispered to myself as I was watching her sleep, she must have been pretty exhausted after everything we’ve been through, she did say magic had a cost, who knew what it must’ve cost her after all the magic she had used in helping me with the Tracy case,

I may not know her very well but she seems like someone who really wants to help but is forced to keep somethings secret, I wonder why,

Anyways as I was busy looking at Ada and wallowing in my thoughts, I noticed something as I went towards the stage, I looked at the entrance as two people walked in, it was my guards,

The ones Ada attacked and said they were possessed by angels, it seemed they were looking for me, I looked around and there were still people here, I didn’t want to cause a scene so I went to Ada and woke her up, I told her about the angels and she immediately opened up a portal as we both went into it,

But unfortunately the angel possessed guards saw us and followed us, I and Ada appeared in the pocket dimension as Ada said

“We’re safe here for now, they can’t find us here”

Suddenly there was a crack in the fabric of space time as a dimensional rift was opened, the two angels jumped outta it into the pocket dimension we were in, one of them was holding a sword,

“You were saying?”

I asked as Ada said

“This is impossible how did you get in here, I am the only one who have access”

One of the angels said

“Nothing is impossible with the power of God”

“What’s your bloody plan?”

I asked Ada and she replied

“I’m working on it”

Both sides just stared at each other ready to fight.
