Chapter 6: Chapter 6
- Son. I was very worried about you.
He kneels down and hugs the boy.
- Thank you, I don't even know how to thank you...
- You don't have to thank me...
They go away and I wave to the little one who looks back.
I realize I'm a little far from home, I'm walking and I realize there's someone behind me, I speed up my steps and the person does the same.
I run to a no-end alley i look back and he approaches slowly, his smile scares me his eyes with only one goal.
- Give me everything you've got.
His voice was a little strange.
-But I don't have anything here.
- Give me what you've got.
He pulls a revolver out of his waist and points at me.
- Give me what you've got.
- But I already said I have nothing, let me go please... I told you I don't have anything, you can come and search me...
Give me what you have... You know what I want, give me the book.
The man walks slowly and keeps repeating the same words, he stop walking and pulls the trigger.
I hear the sound of the shot and close my eyes hard.
Didn't I die? I open my eyes in fear and I see Louis with his back to me.
The man starts shooting several times until his ammo runs out.
- You were good, but now it's my turn.
Louis walks towards the man who retreats, the man looks to the side and sees an iron rod the same crouches and picks up.
-Stay away from me! If not, I'm going to kick your ass.
The end to the bar for Louis holding with both hands, when he was going to hit Louis the same disappears and appears behind the man.
- You made a mistake, now it's my turn. (smiles)
Louis grabs the man by the neck and the two begin to float, the same for at a great height.
- What happens when the bird is released, but it doesn't know how to fly?
- Don't please have mercy on me... spare my life
- The bird just dies when it falls to the ground, want to see the end of the story with its own eyes ?
-I swear, but don't kill me.
- Whatever I say? hmm, I liked until negotiating with humans is not so bad.
-Yes, i'm... everything, everything
Louis diverts his attention and opens an evil smile and looks back at the man who was trembling.
- I have only one request for you, and I hope you comply.
- Tell me. that I will do.
- I like you.. maybe you deserve to live
I will carry out your orders, my lord.
I come close to your ears and I speak, the same widens your eyes and holds me hard.
- Not that, please... anything but that.
- Be a good boy, and follow my orders, where did your word go?
- She's going to die anyway, like the other one died, and you can't save her.
- Great, you who chose, you talk too much this can hinder your life, but you do not have to worry about it, I will give your end, the way you deserve.
Louis approaches his lips near his ear.
- Fly bird.
Louis lets the man go and disappears.
The man goes with everything on the floor.
Before I could see the man Louis appears in front of me, with his dark orange eyes.
- Don't look over there... you won't like to see.
Your serious look won't let me look at anything else, I can't tell him anything.
- Why didn't you obey me? I told you to go out with the book.
- What did you do to him?
- He chose the end of it, I just helped.
- You killed him... how can you be so cold?
- Let's go (hold my hand)
- Let me loose (pull with everything)
He turns to me.
- You go around killing everyone you see in front of you?
- He was bewitched, and another I saved your life, you should thank me... a little more education would go well on you.
- Next time you don't have to save me, you do like that girl who had the book and you killed her, a child... I'm not surprised by that, the way you are I couldn't wait any less.
- Don't you dre tell me what you don't know.
before.
- I feel like something's going to happen.
- With Ana ?
- Exactly, I need to know if I'm wrong.
Louis disappears.
- But the contract is not even finalized to feel it... that strange
Toc Toc Toc.
I open the door and I see Louis with my arm crossed...
- but what are you doing here?
- Where's Ana?
- she went to the market.
- How long ago?
- it's been a few minutes, why?
Louis enters the apartment and goes to the couch where Ana's purse was opens and removes the book.
- That's why
- I didn't know she'd gone without him.
- Damn...
Louis disappears while I walk around worried.
___
- And how do you know that? ( Frown)
The same approaches me little by little, I take a few steps back.
- Did you think I wouldn't find out,did you mean to deceive me? That's it?
- Don't talk what you don't know, you might regret it after...
- You have no feelings, you're a monster, you're about to kill a child... What do you plan to do with me?
- I told you not to say that!
His eyes change color, he disappears into a red smoke.
- Did I take it hard?
___
I show up and punch her in the wall and make her crack.
- But what are you doing? What do you hear?
- I'm angry with Ana, she's very ungrateful I could let her die, but I was an idiot because in addition to saving her life I heard things I didn't expect to hear from her... finish doing the job.
- You need to have a chamomile tea.
Louis looks furious at me and I disappear.
____
- What are you doing here?
- Louis?
I turn around quickly hoping to find him, but I don't see anyone.
- Look down.
- Zyan what are you doing here?
- I'm going to take you home,why don't you have the book?
- I... i was market so i didn't think it was necessary... Since it's right next to my house.
- From the moment the contract is done, you're not safe anymore, you're lucky Louis saved you.
- He killed a man... He saves me by killing other people?
- Ana that man was bewitched,he ceases to be human,pay attention a puppet needs to be controlled... he was a (refers to the man) He would not return to normal, even if Louis let him live, he would try to kill you again...
- I was an idiot... ( I put my hand in the hair )
My eyes fill with tears, Zyan took me to the apartment.
- Don't blame yourself, it's normal to get confused.
- Thank you for bringing me back.
- You don't have to thank me.
I turn to get in.
- Just one more thing, Louis is not a bad man... you'll find out everything you need at the right time.
I look back and I don't see him anymore.
____
I walk into the house and Sandra's running towards me.
- Are you hurt?
- I'm fine, you don't have to worry.
- Next time I go to the market, if you get hurt I'll never forgive myself.
But I'm fine. ( Says without understanding)
- You're going to take a shower, okay? I'm going to order something for us to eat.
I'm going to my room without knowing how she knows something happened to me.
I sit on my bed and hold a change of clothes.
before....
- Ana, that man was bewitched,he stops being human,pay attention a puppet needs to be controlled, even if Louis let him live he would try to kill you again.
- Just one more thing, Louis is not a bad man.
__
I keep thinking about what Zyan had told me, my conscience gets heavy and I come to a conclusion that I should apologize to Louis.
Hours later we were watching film,only something that was bothering me.
- Sandra, how did you know something had happened to me?
- I felt... things of friends ... as the market was close here and you never arrived so I thought something had happened to you ... but now you're okay that's what matters.
- You're right.
- I'm going to go to sleep, all right with you?
- You can go rest, I'm just going to need to know the end.
Then you're going to be in charge of telling me what happened.
I make a gesture agreeing with the head,the same goes to your room.
- That was for a while. ( Speaks in a low tone.)
before...
Toc Toc Toc.
I open the door and I see Louis with my arm crossed...
- but what are you doing here?
- Where's Ana?
- she went to the market.
- How long ago?
- it's been a few minutes, why?
Louis enters the apartment and goes to the couch where Ana's purse was opens and removes the book.
- That's why
- I didn't know she'd gone without him.
- Damn...
- I'm sorry you had time to get here.
I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happened to her... When I saw Louis take the book, I was unreacted I've thought of a thousand things... I won't forget that scene.
_
I watch for a while I see a light coming from my room i get up from the couch and walk slowly... I look that the book is open floor, I close the door and the window and approach carefully and forward it.
- Why is the book like this?
