Joe's eye widened with shock. He couldn't just resonate everything at once. His head spanned through everything he had seen earlier.
He spanked his head hoping he would snap out of it all, but he couldn't. 'Why am I a seer? Why!' he muttered severally.
'Joe… calm down,' he retorted and sighed heavily, calming his nerves. As soon as his nerves were calmed, Joe remembered what he saw just now.
'I musn't stand by and let this happen,' Joe retorted out of the love he still had for Emily even after what she did to him that day.
After he had said that, it was as if Joe just got his senses back, 'what has come over me? Why would I be this concerned about her. Let her die if she has to, anyways she is not worth my pity,' he retorted.
Joe couldn't forget what she did to him that day, he felt embarrassed and humiliated.
Joe made up his mind not to interfere. He laid on his bed to sleep, but sleep wouldn't come.
All that was on his mind is Emily, he couldn't stand not helping her out, anyways she was once her girlfriend.
Joe battled with the streams of thought battling his mind. After pulling a long battle with himself, 'ok! I will help her out….. Just this once,' he retorted and sighed heavily hoping he won't worsen her case.
Joe sighed heavily and pulled a long face for quite some time, he slept off before he could know it.
The night didn't take so long, the morning comes calling again. Joe got up hurriedly, 'this is a matter of life and death,' he retorted and rushed into the bathroom to have a nice shower.
After that, he dashed out completely cool. Joe didn't waste his time, he put on his best cloth and dashed out of his house early in the morning.
Joe knew that is the only time he could meet Emily at home.
Without further ado, he board a taxi and before he could know it, he is at Emily's residence.
'Wow!' Joe retorted, 'this building is just as beautiful as it was when I met Emily,' he retorted with a smile on his face.
The mansion is a tall building beautified with the latest paintings. No body would see such a beauty and won't admire it.
After Joe had gazed at the mansion for a while, he reached for the gate, but the gateman won't let him in.
"You ain't allowed here. Go back to where you came from," the gateman fired.
Joe felt hurt by his words, "watch your mouth boy!" he lashed at him.
"What will you do if I don't watch my words?" The gateman dared him.
Joe couldn't control his temper, he landed his palm on the face of the gateman harshly.
The gateman didn't take it easy on him at all, the two begin to fight in an instant.
Fortunately for Joe, Emily walked out of the mansion majestically due to the noise she heard outside.
'Joe!' Emily retorted with surprise when she sighted him. She laid her palm on her face after staring at the two for some time. She is just tired of Joe's drama.
She approached them angrily, "stop!" She fired harshly.
The gateman parted with him on hearing Emily's voice.
"Why can't you just leave me alone Joe. I said I am done with you," she puked at him in anger.
Joe looked so haggard because of the fuse he had with the gateman, "I am not here to rekindle our love. I am here for something more important," he looked straight into Emily's eye while he said all those words.
"Ok, spit it out if it's that important," she said, giving him an open space to speak.
"I know this may sound funny to you Emily, for the past few days I have been seeing things and it would happen as I see them,"
"Ok," she said as she gets more interested in the conversation.
"Now there is this vision I saw yesterday that baffles me and the vision points at you. I saw that you died on your birthday. I know this may sound stupid but it is true," he rushed those words out of tension.
Emily didn't really get what he said, "recap slowly please. I didn't get you at first," she implored.
"I saw you die on your birthday," he said again. This time more vivid and clear.
Emily couldn't hold the laughter within her. She laughed heavily at him, "so is that why you want to tear down my gateman?" She fired.
"This is real Emily. Believe me," he said trying to convince her.
"I don't believe in those shits and you know what? Since you trust your vision that much, my birthday is tomorrow and the party will be held here at my residence. Why don't you come tomorrow and see what becomes of your vision," she dared him.
Joe stared at her for a while and nodded his head, "I would be there," he said confidently.
Emily laughed out aloud, "get me my birthday invitation ticket for guests," she said facing her gateman.
After a while, "This is it ma," he said, stretching the ticket to her.
"Ok good," she said and turned to Joe, "prove your vision tomorrow," she challenged him and leaned the letter on his chest.
Joe held the letter firmly and walked out of her presence angrily, 'this vision must come to pass,' he retorted and hoped for the vision to come to pass so that he can prove a point.
After that day, Emily's birthday celebration is here. Joe comes in so early to witness the sadning event that would happen that day. His mind is all prepared for the worse.
Joe is eager to prove a point to her.
The party started outrightly and everyone was enjoying their wine.
"Joe, did your vision tell you the spefic time it would happen?" Emily asked out of the blue after she had walked up to Joe.
"Yes, it will happen in the eight hour of today," he said.
"Oh…. That's nice," she checked the watch on her wrist, "by my timing here, you mean I am going to die exactly 8pm tonight?" She asked in other to be clear.
"Yes," Joe confirmed what she had said.
"Ok, lets see," she said with a smirk on her face and walked away.
Now, Joe is tense as he monitored the timing on his phone. He couldn't get a grip on himself, if it's possible he wants the vision to happen right away.
After some hours of the event, Emily walked up to the stage to address her guest.
Joe checked his time, 'in eight minutes time she will fall to the ground,' he said. This time he is all tensed.
Emily spoke for some minutes and suddenly directs her words to Joe, "Joe… check your time. Am I still alive?" She said with the public address system.
Joe almost drown in the pool of her words. He knew every other thing he saw in the vision happened, 'but why didn't Emily die?' 'who is she by the way?' different questions pulped in his mind.
Joe couldn't understand himself anymore. He lost his confidence in an instant and had to walk out of the party in shame.
'What would Joe do?"
"Would he be able to face Emily ever again?"
Chapter SixEarlierEmily's POVThe atmosphere is booming due to the music playing.After gazing around the lit of the beautiful atmosphere, I can't but gush with my jaw dropped over this beautiful place. "I love it here, Luther."He looked at me and smiled. Staring right into my face he said, "I know you would love it here… that's why I brought you here in the first place."I couldn't hold that excitement that was within me. "You think you know my taste?" I had to ask, because I don't how he come to know this much about it.With smiles on his face, "common…. You know I have my eyes all over you," Luther quickly points it out to me so that it would be clear.I scoff gently, "don't let too many ideas get into your skull… you know I have a boyfriend…." I had to remind him.My eyes was fixed on him after I mentioned that. He felt disgusted and tired of me."Tell me, Emily…. Who on earth dates poverty?" His lips opened up gently when he rolled those words down his tongue.'Not again!' I s
Chapter Seven ~Emily's POV "Emily, are you with me?" That is the question he put to my face. "I am not with you Joe, you have to change your dress sense." 'Damn! I am so irritated,' that word went down my gut. All I wanted is for him to dress like a normal haman. "Look at me Emily," turning himself around, "this dress on my body is damn… I mean fucking damn okay," he said. Those words hit my ear and I felt like puking immediately, "WTF!" I couldn't stop myself from uttering that vulgar word. "What?" That's the question Joe put to my face. He is not getting my point at all and I am so pissed off. "Come on Joe, why are you like this?" I asked. "Like what, Emily. As far as I am concerned, this dressing is okay," he said. Right now, I am so frustrated. "You know what…Joe, get out of my room right now," I said pointing at the door. "Those words are harsh," Joe rolled those words down his tongue. That word he just uttered is damn irritating. "Do I look like I care?" I tend thos
Chapter Eight "Hello, good day.""Good day… how may I help you?" I said to the recipient."I am really sorry. I know you have been ignoring my calls, because you are upset. I am sorry," the recipient apologized.I let out a loud sigh getting frustrated with the way he is pleading. "You know what, I will call you back," I had to let that known to him. He is giving me headaches. All I need is just a time off. I hang the call immediately."Why are you all worked up with this gentle man?" My dad said.'I don't want us to discuss this right now,' that thought has to remain in my heart. "I am not really worked up. All I need is just a space," I said politely.My dad sighed aloud. I wonder why he gave an audible sigh, but I didn't let that get into my head.Focusing on my food, I eat some more fragments then decides to head to my room."I kinda want to rest my head," I said when I saw my parents gaze was all over me."I thought you were actually going out earlier.""Yes… but now, I don't f
Chapter nineMy eyes widened with shock. I couldn't just believe what I am seeing. "Mother.." I call out.She didn't give an instant reply, so I had to call again, "Mother." This time I made my scream so loud.Quickly my mother rush out of her hole."Why are you screaming the hell out of my name?" She asked."Mother… I don't understand…. My car's tire is less," I said with an agitated countenance."Wait… you called me, because your tire is less?" She asked."Yes, mother…. I can't just believe my eyes," I replied."You are just a spoilt brat," my mother said and walks back in without bothering herself."Why did mother have to be so mean like that?' I retorted with frustration. At the moment, I don't know what to do.I walk up to the car to give it a proper check. 'Damn! What do I do?' that question in my heart couldn't just get a suitable answer.'Today is not good!' my heart let out a scream that almost got to my head. It was just like a fuse. Thinking profusely, an idea strike my mi
Joe's POVAfter Emily dropped me off at my workshop, I went in and met a man waiting for me with his car.He called me "hey you." I went closer to him and he asked me to change the tires of his car. I thought he was going to drop the car and leave but he sat down and waited. I sighed inwardly and started to work on the car the moment I touched the car I saw something, I saw the man sitting inside his car and driving along a bridge when he suddenly fell off.I immediately removed my hands from the car, I couldn't believe what I just saw. I looked at the man who was looking at me as if I was mad. He asked worriedly "Are you alright?" "Yes am fine."I replied. "Can you come back tomorrow and collect the car, I have something urgent to attend to right now am really sorry." I lied, surprisingly the man agreed and left.I suddenly heard a voice behind me "you didn't have to lie you know.""Who are you?" I asked a little bit scared."Hey, no need to be scared, I know you are a seer. But do
They appeared at a forest, Joe detached himself from the man and looked around."Are you planning to kill me?" Joe asked."Maybe." The man replied apparently searching for something or someone."Are you waiting for someone?" Joe asked again."Yeah, am waiting for the guys who are going to help me train you." The man replied."Wait, how long is this training gonna take?" "It depends on how fast you are able to use your abilities to it's full potentials, but since you have never used your powers before it should take about two to three years and within those periods you are going to stay in this forest." The man replied."What's the name of this forest?""The Amazon forest.""Wait, so you brought me all the way from the US to a damn forest in Brazil.""No one over there cares about you so no one will worry about your whereabouts." The man's words were hurtful but true, he sighed and followed the man through the thick forest, even if he dies here like the man said no one will care.The

The next day Joe's training began, he was very quick in learning and he adapted to the environment very fast.He was thought skills in martial arts and swordsmanship.His trainer was very surprised at how fast he was learning and discovering his demon side.Master Damien walked up to him and said "You are learning very fast, but you need to learn how to control your demon side, but you need to learn how to control it. In the human world different people will push you to do different things and you may be pushed to do something you really don't wanna do, that's why you have to be calm at all times even in the face of death.""What do you mean by I can do something I don't want to do?" Joe asked, he had just finished sparring with his tutor and was sweating profusely."As a demon you can do a lot of things that may be very harmful, that's why we demons and witches came to the forest to build our homes so that the most powerful of all demons can oversee everything we do."
