Chereads / Lukz Death / Chapter 16 - Chapter 17: Save the world?

Chapter 16 - Chapter 17: Save the world?

Aimee flings open the closet door, causing it to ricochet back towards Lukz, he effortlessly catches it's handle while shutting it gently behind him. Lukz starts muttering within his head,

"This doesn't make any sense? If I'm creating all the demons, then why the hell would they kill all those people that believed in my night terrors? Were they trying to hide something? Or was it all just a coincidence... no, no. There had to be a reason their dead. Maybe they all knew... how to.."

"LUKZ!", An intense voice calls out from the pubs entrance. He pivots around to see Aimee dashing over to Kevin, leaping into his arms as she sobs on his shoulder.

"I'm so glad you're here!" she mumbles.

Kevin glimpses down towards her, then drapes his arms around her, gently stroking her creamy ginger locks. "It's okay. I promise, it will be okay. Darcie is taking him with the others." He replies, sincerely.

Lukz quickly strides over, "Kevin! you won't believe what Don's been up to!", he states, pulling a concerned grin.

"Really? What do you mean?" He replies confused, trying to calm Aimee down as she wails out in tears.

Lukz lightly grips them both, sitting them down upon the dilapidated bar top. Kevin looks down, "Lukz! What the hell did you do!" he asks firmly, comforting Aimee until she lifts her soft brown eyes to stare into his,

"Don't be mad at Lukz.", she wimps, "I upset him, it wasn't his fault." She adds, sucking back a few final tears.

Kevin stairs daggers towards him, "That better be true! I'm not bailing you out again!" he calls!

Lukz rattles his head around, "Yes, yes, it is! Anyway, don't you want to know about Don?" He says, agitated.

"Ow yeah! Then it's my turn!" He replies, grinning.

Lukz pauses, "Okay. Well, Don has been keeping records of every creature we have killed, and you won't believe how all of them link up!"

Kevin nods, "How?!" he blurts out.

Lukz holds out both hands, "He linked that, everyone who has been murdered, studied me after our mother's death!?"

"What!" Kevin springs to his feet!

"Yeah, I know! That's exactly what I thought!" Lukz replies.

Kevin places Amiee to his side, he starts softly scratching his head, "They must have been hiding something? Each one must of realised it wasn't just a vision or blurred memory you was having? They must have known a way to.... STOP THEM!!" Kevin blurts out!

"What! HOW!!" Lukz spits back, grabbing Kevin by his shoulders!

"I'm not sure, but Don spoke to me before he passed." He replies, full of pain.

Lukz's face bursts wide open with intent, "What! What did he tell you?"' He replies anxiously.

Kevin turns away, rubbing slowly against the temples of his head, "He mentioned that, only you can kill the demons, he said that no one else could harm these things!"

Lukz tugs Kevin back around,

"Really? I just thought you were a crap shot?" He says, winking.

Kevin softly pushes Lukz back and continues, "Funny. As I was saying, back in the forest that Needle thing must have taken like 60 bullets. With each one seeping straight through it, just as if we were shooting at some sort of spirit? Exactly the same for when I shot at Terry!" Kevin says, shaking his head!

"So! how does that link these things to popping out of Lukz's head?", Aimee calls, causing them to both turn,

Kevin winces, "What? How did you work that out?" He replies.

"HA! Actually, I did… with some help." Lukz gloats.

Kevin's face pulls back, shocked. "Right, did you also realise that you're doing it in your sleep? Every night terror, all your vision's?" He adds.

Lukz wonder's his eye's around the room, "Ermmm, sort of? But, carry on with the, only I can kill them thing?"

Kevin smirks, "Thank you. As I was saying, maybe they didn't go after Lukz? There is a possibility that they already knew Lukz could kill them? So instead of trying to kill him, they would destroy any evidence or people which knew how Lukz could stop them, for good?"

"Hold on just a cotton picking second, so you're saying, I somehow create these things? Plus, I'm the only one who can kill them! What the F**k!" Lukz shouts out!

Kevin glares at him, "Yes, but you're missing the bigger picture here? These things are killing people who know how to stop them! If we can somehow, find out what they know, then we could potentially stop the demons from coming to life!" He replies, unsure.

Aimee looks up towards Kevin, "I was just telling Lukz how I can get on my dad's computer at his office? Do you think that would help?" she asks, softly

Kevin glances towards her, slightly shocked, "YES! If we can find out what the professors and psychologists who studied Lukz, had worked out. then of course!"

Aimee nods her head, "Yes definitely, you can look at anyone's personal files, as there kept for evidence in a murder case!?"

"That's perfect!" Kevin shouts, clinching his fists!

"Right, Let's stop these bast**ds before someone else dies!" Lukz calls out in a chirpy tone!

"Shotgun", Aimee yells!

Kevin scowls towards her, "Dahm you! I don't wanna sit in the back, that's where Lukz keeps his.."

"NOTHING.... absolutely nothing", Lukz says, barging into him.

"Ouch!", Kevin yelps, rubbing his shoulder.

"Shut up you baby. come on." Lukz angrily mumbles, as he storms out the pub while dragging Kevin with him.

Aimee follow's behind, "You know, you're going to have to pay for all those damages." She says, abruptly.

"Hey, I'm just about to save the world? Does that not count as payment?!" Lukz replies, jumping into his car, followed by Aimee and Kevin.

His engine ignites from a beast which lingers underneath it's hood, hurtling off down a narrow gravel road, the old pub sign swings crookedly, until snapping at its hinge.
