Chapter 14.
**"Your life would be in danger now because they might be looking for you. That is why I asked who you told about the green maggots"She was not listening to him as a shiver ran down her spine.(I am in danger?") She kept repeating in her head."If you have the X-blood, your sister must have it too. And she might be the one that has been used to create those zombies" he added as he walked away.She sat down and began to think. All those nightmares she was constantly having.(Would I... Would I turn into a zombie?) She thought as he returned with a bowl of clean water. He soaked the towel in the water, squeezed it, and used it to clean her foot."Will I? Will I turn into a zombie?""I have no answer for that. But you should be scared because that man has marked your face" he told her as she recalled how he stared at her after he left that lab room. And how someone was staring at her from the window of fhe hospital and the sharChapter 15*.*.*Willow packed her bicycle right outside the Police station and walked inside. She got to the desk officer and stood, at that time, she was the only visitor there.She was very determined to do what she came for as she walked straight to the desk officer with a hard chin."Good day sir"The Desk Officer quickly looked up at her. He regarded her closely and thought maybe she was one of those girls that have come to complain about her abusive boyfriend because she looked worn out."Well, hello young lady. How may I help you?" He tried to sound calm as he played with the biro he was holding, as he was transferring it from one finger to the other."I want to speak to the Sheriff" she requested and it made the desk officer look up at her with a dropped jaw.(Okay, she is sure one of those bitches that makes trouble) he thought and sat up properly."Pardon?" He feigned ignorance."The Chief. I want to see him" she sai
Chapter 16.They waited for Willow to give the lead as she tried to go recall where the owl was facing."Okay, the night creature was over there!" She pointed as the officers watched her."It faced this way! Come one! Follow me!' He urged them and the sheriff signaled the rest officers as they began to trail behind her back.She was looking for the valley of skulls as they walked back to where the van was packed." We are walking in circles!" One of the officers said."Young lady! Are you messing with us?" The Sheriff scolded her."No! It was right here. I just need to know the path. There were skulls. Piper even kissed one. But... I can no longer find it. It was around this place!" She was scratching her hair and turning around in circles."Hey! Listen to me. Did you come here alone when you thought that you came here?""No! I came with friends! Hazel, Piper, and Billy. But they took Piper and 9 others!'" Okay, I understand. Can yo
Chapter 17*.*."When you came to my office that you have something urgent to attend to at home, I granted your request immediately. If I had known that you were going to the cops to cause trouble, I would not have granted your request!" He said as a flicker of tears dropped from her eyes."I hope you get better and move on from whatever you are passing through. But please, do not drag the cops into it. Okay? I would not like to receive more calls from the Sheriff. I am trying to stay out of trouble" He added as she stopped what she was doing and stared into space.He breathed down and scratched his hair."I know I am being too hard on you and--""Just go!" She said faintly.He stopped and watched her as he shook his head in pity."I hope you get better!" With that, he walked away as the bell at the door rang.She immediately darted her attention toward it and saw Tabitha and Lucy. Tabitha had a horrid look on her face and Lucy was
Chapter 18.*.*"The same thing happened to me. I told them about it. They thought I was crazy too. And when we went there, we saw nothing and no one agreed to attend the show. So, they would not believe" he sucked in air and back faced her."I told you that my parents gave up on me. They thought that I was insane. They wanted to put me in a home. I have to come here, a place that I and my brother always come to""It is of no use. No one would ever believe us" he finalized."I saw a failed experiment today. Lucy. My boss's daughter I told you about"This time, he turned to face her with terror in his eyes."What?""Yes. Her mother came to lay a complaint to her dad. They have taken her to the hospital. She spoke about a vaccine and isolation" she added as he scoffed."They lie! That kid would not survive""Why? She would die?""No! They would kill her because she is a failed experiment. They can not control her mind""Oh my
Chapter 19.*.*"I will establish you! You will get whatever you want! You do not have to work in that stupid coffee shop to make ends meet. Let me give you all you could ever wish for! Join us!" He said as his voice echoed in the room."Leave me alone!" She yelled and pushed him. He fell and crashed into the wheelchair."If you would not do this amicably, I guess I am going to do this my own way!' He cocked his hair to one side and brought out a huge sickle from his cloak."After her!" He yelled and her grandma threw her glass of whiskey away and started chasing after Willow."Willow! You have to listen to the Master! He is the future hope of the world!" Her grandma barked as she kept chasing after her while The Master stood at the window side and was touching his sickle while watching as the streetlight illuminated the garden.Willow was surprised how her grandma was able to run with such strength as she was very old. The strength her grandma pos
Chapter 20.*.*She hailed a taxi and was talking to the driver as he was just looking at Igor like someone that escaped from a home."Okay, but I hope he would not cause any trouble?" He questioned as Willow was confused."Who? Why would he cause any trouble?" Igor stood calm and watched the driver who was regarding him closely. The driver thought that he was not mentally okay because of how shabby he looked."Okay, hop in," he said as Willow and Igor entered the taxi. The driver drove off, heading to the coffee shop as Willow turned to look at Igor who was looking out from the window of the car.She confessed in her heart that he really did look shabby. She wondered when last he took a proper bath and combed his hair. His clothes too were not something one would brag of.She concluded in her heart that, he was not only her looks they would tamper with, they would also take care of his looks too. And maybe get a new set of clothes for him.
Chapter 21*.*He packaged what they bought back in the bag and gave it back to them."Thanks for your patronage" Willow was not interested as she and Igor walked out of the mall, carrying the bags with them.They got outside the mall and hailed a cab that took them to the path that lead to Crowville spring.After paying the cabman, they alighted and began walking on the lonely path without saying a word to each other.When they got to the Shack, Igor opened the door and Willow stepped in first, Igor made sure that no one was following them before he entered the shack and bolted the door.The room was a little bit dark as the sunlight from outside could not steal into the shack because of how Igor blocked all holes.He walked to the fireplace and light it up, then light up the lamp while Willow placed the bag on the chair."Let's get to work. We have to work on your hair first! There is no time" she said as he kept staring at her.
Chapter 22.*.*"I guess he turned a new leaf, maybe it might be because of what he did to you and he feels remorseful right now" Igor spoke."You surely do not have an idea! Rowland is nothing like that! Dude is mean!"Willow turned to the nurse and Nathan, "we would stay with her for a while. Her mom asked us to make sure that she was okay" "Are you okay with it? Fraya?" The nurse asked her."Sure. I am tired of staying here alone anyway. I could use some companies""Hmm, okay. I would be back" the red-headed nurse said and started walking away."Thanks, Nathan, you have been most helpful," Willow said to him."I am delighted that I could help, take care" with that, he walked away too.When they had made sure that they were gone, Igor walked to the cupboard and started pushing it away."Okay, I know my mom did not send you guys. Who the hell are you people?" Freya spoke.Willow tried to contain her shock and acted all co
