Chapter 8: NEW BEGINNING
Marta was so over joy for the souls I have killed using her powers, she claims she has not seen any masterpiece of death, a scenario master minder I was, the police station was in chaos, the swat body guards had being killed with tons of death, their hands were full to the brim. Though I had destroyed the evidence of Marta, I blew up the central hospital so that the hands of Marta imprinted across the victim won't be discovered, the governor and everyone I had controlled, simply shooting them will turn the case to serial murders and will attract unwanted attention from Brilliant detective, I had to cover my tracks while destroying the bad guys and also re-opening the case however the police were still very much clever. From the CCTV and black box, they notice several Black Hand imprints on some victims and few people I controlled but they were perplexed to understand what was going on however the police had released a man, a detective from jail named robin. He said to be very good with cases with supernatural phenomenon .
Gov buston case was all over the news ,he was fame the most wicked and satanic governor of the time, people wanted revenge and they went to the governor's house setting it ablaze to calm their dead love ones, most of the relative I transferred money was arrested and account frozen however I had more work to do. I needed justices for my mother, I wanted the world to see it but I made a mistake, I was careless in the quest for vengeance,
Bella stalked me and she saw me with the governor, she saw me talking to invincible Marta severally, she heard me talking to my mother's brothers before I possessed them, though she didn't understand all I was doing, I felt pain, Marta manipulated me. She could have told me but she kept quiet until I spotted her knowing I would be forced to kill her. I stood looking at Marta. I had never felt loss.
"Why, why, why didn't you tell me, why didn't you stop her, you said you were going to confine her to a wheelchair or coma. Why did you not do it?
I TRIED SEVERALLY, I EVEN SEND GUYS TO I ATTACK HER BUT ANYTIME I COME CLOSE TO HER, SOMETHING REPELS MY POWERS. I DON'T LIKE HER BUT AS IT STANDS SHE WILL GET IN YOUR WAY EJI, YOU HAVE TO END HER.
I got home that day, I felt down as if I lost my mother for the second time, bringing myself to kill her was hard; i quivered holding my sketchbook, for the first time that sketchbook had caused a fear in me. Marta told me to make her disappear, of course she was happy, I sketch Bella with heavy heart jumping off a popular bridge named central bridge by her. I couldn't look at the version. The urge to kill began to died slowly.
"I guess it's all over now, the next morning, I dress up for school, I stood at the door, hoping and wishing she would be outside, I pulled the door but she wasn't there. I felt sad, I slowly walked to school, I felt loneliness for the first time, I began to regret my actions, Marta felt it well that's her gain, a price for power will bring sadness, I got to school, I slide the door open.
To my amazement as my eyes while open
She was sited in class.
"What?
"Good moooorning ! Eji, how is your night?
Bella stood smiling at me as if nothing had ever happened. At that time, I heart has never being this excited. At the same time, I was perplexed, lost of words to what might have gone wrong. Did the sketchbook powers wear off or Marta changed her mind. What was going on?
"Why are you here?
"Huh? Bella raised an eye brown
" I mean hi, please excuse me for a moment, I have to use the restroom".
I ran to the toilet, I was seriously perplexed, my heart was glad like butterfly but my mind was in chaos,
Marta? What happened? how come she still alive.
I AM AS CONFUSED AS YOU ARE EJI, I TOLD YOU, I HAVE TRIED MY BEST IN KILLING HER BUT SOMETHING REPELS MY POWER, SHE WAS ON HER WAY HOME WHEN MY CLAWED TRY TO REACH HER AND SOMETHING FROM HER KEPT FIGHTING WITH ME, FINALLY, MY HATRD GAVE IN AND I GRAB HER NECK AND TOOK HER TO THE BRIDGE, SHE WAS ABOUT TO JUMP OFF INTO THE RIVER WHEN SHE SUDDENLY REGAIN HER MIND.
"What? Is there weakness to marta's power or am i in love with her, or does it have to do with my feelings for her.
AS MUCH AS I DON'T LIKE IT, I THINK YOU NEED TO GO OUT ON A DATE WITH HER, FIND OUT HER WEAKNESS AND END HER.
" Marta, i need you to do a few things for me" I am going to test something out
WHAT DO YOU NEED
When we go on dates, I want you to deliberately cause harm her way, I will draw three different scenarios and then conclude my theory.
OK DARLING
And so I walked to class to meet up with Bella.
"Hi, bella ,I was wondering if you would still go on a date with me this weekend, let's go out on a date, I have decided to go on a date with you"
Her eyes wide open in surprise.
"Eh! Da daaa date" Bella was so happy she almost kissed me and what's weird the entire class was staring at us. Chuckling.
That open the window of friendship I never planned for, Bella and I began to walk home every day talking about series of stuff, we had similar attributes when it come to music and anime from that day and other days she brought lunch, she loved cooking, the lunch from home was so mouth watery that I forgot my revenge never the less I still did not loss focus to what I was doing, soon, I decided to test what Marta had said, not for Marta but for me, I was curious, maybe this might be my way out from Marta's grasp.
First scenario, Bella and I walking home from school then someone throws a flower pot from a room aiming for Bella head.
I had plan the scene and so we walked talking, a few meters away close to Bella, here comes the flower pot, I observed her cross necklaces strapped around her neck . It began to gleam bright light , however am not sure she knew what the necklace was doing, she suddenly decide to hug me at that point in time and the flower pot fell to the ground,
It felt like another entity was around her. I believe they call them guardian angels, I did not understand, it was mysterious, it possible, if ghost and demons do exist so should angels.
The second day, I drew a scenario of her being involved in an accident, we were walking side by side on the way, a car suddenly left is lane heading straight for her. Marta and I were watching a few meters away on purpose to see what happens. A hand from nowhere pushed me from my back over to Bella standing in front of the oncoming car .
I had no choice but to swiftly move Bella from harm's way or else I would be crush. I felt an understanding that this entity pushing me was sign to warn me. If anything is going to happen to her, then I am going in for it. I had caused fear in people but, this time I began to experience fear. I was just testing is not as if I didn't like Bella. And that day arrived, a date to know Bella's past.
