Chapter 9: Chapter 9

- I'm not afraid.

- So come on.

I take a deep breath and hold on to your hand, my eyes are closed.

I look at The Ana who's got her eyes closed, with her she looks beautiful.

- You can open your eyes.

- it's okay.

I open my eyes and Louis is staring at me, everything he doesn't say in words his look says it all.

I look sideways and I'm amazed.

- It's too beautiful.

- Truth.

I look at my feet and I'm literally walking in the air.

- Now I'm going to take you home.

Seconds later we showed up on the roof of the building.

- Thank you Louis,I liked... really.

- I know, I know you.

The same opens a smile and disappears.

I leave the terrace a few minutes later.

- I'm here.

- This is time to come home almost ten o'clock at night.

- I'm sorry, I got carried away... I promise this won't happen again.

I go to my room and i take the bags, Sandra gives a smile and sits on the couch.

I play in my bed and close my eyes, I'm so glad he's okay, I never thought I'd be happy for someone like him...

I remember what the quiromante had told me, I'm at the beginning still has many things to happen, I hope to be strong to get through all this, and who will be the person I will meet from the past ?

I sigh and i fall asleep.

The next day....

- Do you intend to stay here until when?

- Until she leaves...

- Are you going crazy? Do not take the protection to the letter, I need to eat, we are already here all morning I'm tired, look my paws are swollen (frown)

- You can go,because I'm going to stay here.

- You've never done this for anyone,what happened to you? Why have you changed so much?

- I'm obeying the contract.

I sit in front of him and look up.

- You don't fool me, I've known you for many years and I know what you're like with contractors. (get up) I'm going to eat something,we're following her all morning, my paws are adore.

Zyan disappears

I look out the window and I smile.

Louis- I'm so sure she's with you.

- I'm going out after school,can you come home alone?

- I'm not a child anymore, Sandra.

- But all care is too little,take this.

- pepper spray? oath?

- at least there's time for you to run.

I take the spray and keep it in the bag.

Later that day..

I come home exhausted and sit on the couch and hear the bell sound.

- Did Sandra forget her keys?

Again the bell is rang, I get up from the couch and approach very cautiously, open the door and see an old woman with her head down.

- What can I do for you?

- I live next door and sell some things, want to take a look?

- Today not...

I'm not going to charge you to look, but if you're interested.

I let you in and she sits in the chair.

- Are you alone today my young lady ?

- yes, but my friend is coming.

-- Do you know that many things can happen in one minute?

- What are you talking about?

- seeded You're out of protection, since that's very important these days.

She puts the bag on the floor and looks sideways like she's looking for something.

- Would you like a glass of water?

- I'm fine,but tell me, what do you carry in your purse?

- Just my college books.

- I can feel the beating of your heart... ana.

My heart's getting racing she's scaring me.

I try to stay calm but suddenly you raise your head and look at me, your eyes were black like the man who shot Louis.

She gives a smile and gets up.

- Let's get this over with, give me the book and you'll live.

I get up from my chair and i get my purse.

- Get out of my house now.

- You're a fool, Ana, do you really think that if you keep this book, it's going to help you? In the end you will die, all your work will be in vain, all your effort will be worthless, it will kill you in the worst way, seduce you is the first the second is to take your trust and the third your soul, you are a puppet ... Be smart and give me the book... how can you protect a monster who claims to be your Savior, see the truth, it's just an illusion.

I look at the book and I remember zyan had told me that I was not going to live anymore but to survive, my life is just a game of choices, so I have to be very careful with my acts.

I know none of this is real,she's trying to make up my mind so I can give up and deliver the book.

- What do you want the book for?

-- So no one else dies because of him. Ana This is an endless cycle, this story will repeat itself forever and people will die, some will not even conclude their dreams because this is an obstacle (points to the book)

- You're lying,I'm not going to hand over the book.

- I tried the easy way,now it's going to be the hard way, remember if you chose.

The old woman who was hunched begins to straighten, her bones are popping, some black veins begin to appear around her face, and her smile with sharp teeth.

I'm literally in a horror movie, I take a few steps back, I'm running out of hope, my heart is racing, the old woman starts walking towards me.

Sandra opens the door.

- Drugs...

- Run Sandra, get out of here... ( Screams)

- she won't be able to take any steps, I put a powder on the floor... minus one to save you.

- But she's like me... why couldn't she get through?

- Hmm,didn't she tell you? What kind of friend is she?

- You didn't tell me what?

-- She's like Louis, didn't you notice? Ana, do you want to be on the demon team? Because one thing you have to know, they're never going to tell you the truth, and another thing they're liars and manipulators.

I look at Sandra who tries to break the barrier.

- It can't be...

-seeded- How long do you want to live in this lie? All because of this book, but soon it's going to be over.

The old woman jumps on top of me and I fall with everything on the floor, I fight trying to loosen up, I look to the side and I see my bag on the floor and the bottle of pepper spray, I try to reach.

She's stronger than me, I'm losing my strength... I put my fingers on the pot and finally I can get it.

I squeeze the spray into her eyes, for a moment I can see the sadness in her gaze, as if she really was being controlled, but the worst thing I could notice...
