The room was quite at that moment, Erebos' glared at the people around, He was trying to keep calm and behave himself, but things were getting tense. His instinct told him to fast or regret it. He was ready to attack when a voice stopped him.
"We aren't here to arrest you, unless you give us a reason to" it's was Mr. Dalton.
By this time, Bellezza stood behind the police man with an angry face. Erebos knew she was sorry for dragging him to this. It's wasn't her fault, but Mrs. Addison.
"Okay sir am at your service" he said, with his right hand in the pocket of the trouser wore, forming a fist.
"I have told you, all that is to hear, he is not the killer" Bellezza shouted.
"Belle I want you to be quiet and let the police do their work" her mum warned.
"Mr. ... ehnnn... " Mr. Dalton stammered. He was trying to recall the name Mrs. Addison told them.
"Erebos" he reminded.
"What the f**k did you get that name from" one of the police men asked.
His name carried a vital meaning, he didn't want any of this men to know what it is or else this case might go further with him.
"I took it from one of my ancestors' name" Erebos replied.
"You named yourself?"
"Yeah, I changed my name when I clocked 15" .
"Strange kid" one of the police man said.
"If my mother was here , an sure she would have loved you. She loved ancestry stuff like you" Mrs. Addison chimmed.
This people were driving him crazy at first, but now, he was getting the little secrets from their talk. Erebos needed to know much about Belle's family. Something was weird here and he could feel it.
"You helped Bellezza right?" The inspector asked.
"Yes officer"
"Where were you going to that night?"
"Home"
"Do you perhaps saw anything strange like an animal or a creature?" Mr. Dalton stared at him.
"Nope, I never did sir" Erebos answered.
"Okay... This is my card. Call me when you suspect a thing" he stretched it forward.
Erebos took the card. Being patient wasn't bad at all. Now, the Addisons were going to trust him. He wanted to find out if Bellezza was truly a descendant of the witch, who cursed his entire race.
"We are going now, Call us again" Mr. Dalton was referring to his host.
"No problems" Mrs. Addison thanked them. The inspector left with his partners.
Erebos was surprised when the men left. The interview was so short and quick, he was expecting it to be like this. Had it been, he did something foolish, his whole efforts would have been in vain. Today wasn't bad at all, he found what he had been searching for- the necklace

"Mum was there any need for to call Mr…or whatever is his name Bellezza asked?"
"Yes sweetheart, I want to clear your name" Mrs. Addison wasn't sorry for that.
"You scared Erebos, this just his first time here" She complained.
Her mom was annoying for sure, but she didn't know she would do such a thing. They get into silly arguments everyday. The last fight they had made Bellezza to move into Jove's house. She spent weeks there, before her mom came to apologized.
Though, she was younger, her mom's thinking was different from normal people. That's why Grandmother refused to stay with her, because her mom's bossy ways.
"Am doing this for you, young woman"
"At least inform me , first, if it concerns me" she yelled.
"I don't think that is necessary. Am your mother after all"
"And am not a child anymore, am old enough to make my own decisions".
Bellezza was angry. She could feel the hotness in her. Another mind was telling her to blow the house up in a flash. But, when she looked at her younger brother who sat down innocently watching their fight, Bellezza calmed down and took a deep breath with a hope that it was going to help.
"Is okay Bellezza, she is your mother" Erebos chimmed in. He was tired of their argument.
Bellezza wanted to say something but she stopped. There was an outsider in the house and they were arguing in front of him, showing their ill characters. She felt ashamed of herself.
"Am sorry Erebos, you too Mom. This week isn't funny at all" she apologized.
Many things were going on with her, but she didn't Know who to talk to. Who was going to believe that she caused the explosion just by getting angry. All these happened in movies not reality.
"I will take my leave now Mrs. Addison, there is matter I need to attend to" Erebos rose from the chair. Bellezza didn't blame him for leaving so soon. It was obvious that his mom didn't like Erebos.
"Okay, do take care of yourself" Mrs. Addison said. She took her son and went up stairs
"Am going now, Bellezza" Erebos looked at Bellezza for while, before opening the door. She followed behind.
Outside the house, the two just stood without saying a word. Bellezza knew Erebos wasn't going to show his face here again. Her mother destroyed all the trust him had in them. She wondered if he still saw her as a friend!
