"Why are you acting like a child, you were too old for that " Xavier looked at his friend.
"Am just a few centuries old and am not acting like a child "
Xavier chuckled, "To humans, that's really old "
Gerald frowned, "Did you follow me so you could mock me "
"I only did because Liana told me too, you hurt her friend," he said.
"I didn't mean to, it's your mother's fault "
"How is it mother's fault, she only said the truth about us, and Joy seemed to still not change her mind bout her feelings," said Xavier.
"She just willingly accepted everything without any hit of fear or disgust"
"What? you didn't like that reaction. Did you want her to reject you?" asked Xavier.
"Kind of, I didnt expect her to just move over all that instantly. And when she got up and looked at me, I was scared and happy " he said.
"And then ran away like a fool "
"Am sorry I just didn't know what to do "
"Well, you could have maybe embraced her or said something instead of running away, It's hurt her, " Xavier said.
"Now I don't know what to do, will she give me a chance to explain?" Gerald sighed.
"She was able to accept you, so if you apologize she will take you back. Am just worried about what Liana is going to do to you " Xavier scoffed.
"I didn't mean to hurt her friend "
"I don't think she will care about that, you know how protective she is of Joy. And now you have further twice now, so I think that's twice what she's going to do to you " Xavier got up.
"Where are you going after scaring me like that " Gerald asked.
"Home, they must have gone back already " he answered.
"Stay longer, am bored and sad " Gerald pouted.
Xavier smirked and sat back down. "Only for a few minutes "
....
"Where is she?" Liana asked barging into the house.
Lucian was seated down with a glass of wine, he looked up with a smile.
"You came, I would expect less from a true kind friend like you," he said.
"I asked where is Joy " she shouted.
She heard sounds from the other room and ran to check. Joy was tied up with huge ropes and struggling on the bed. Liana ran up to her hugging her.
She pulled off the clothe on her mouth and started undoing the ropes.
"His crazy, Liana. I don't know what happened to him " she cried.
"Shhh, don't cry I will get us out of here. And then deal with him " Liana said.
The door opened again and Lucian walked in, holding the wine bottle and another long rope.
"Deal with me, and how will you do that dear sister " he laughed.
Liana ignored him and continued helping her friend get free. She could hear him walk closer to her and Joy.
"LIANA?!..watch out " Joy shouted.
Liana turned but something hard hit her head and shattered it into pieces.
"What did you do " Joy cried seeing her friend drop to the floor, her head was bleeding now.
"You shouldn't cry we both know she's not human, don't let that blood fool you " he smirked and looked down at Liana.
"What are you talking about, she's bleeding help her " Joy cried.
Lucian bent down to his sister and started binding her hands and legs with the rope then got up.
"I must say I had fun while I was pretending to care for both of you, but now it's time we end it. If you both don't disappear I can never move on with my finally achieved success" he laughed. , "Mom is making a mess of it so I have to take over and also clean up their mess which will be troublesome too, but I have dealt with worse "
He walked out and returned with a small Jerry can and started pouring its liquid around the room then moved out still doing the same.
Joy could smell it and realized what he was doing, her fear and shock all plastered I. her face.
"Lucian please no, don't do this please " she cried struggling to get free.
He returned and scoffed, "Since both your lovers are demons, I hope you meet them in hell," he said dropping the lighter in his hands.
The moment it touch the floor, a fire started.
He waved at Joy and walked out. He could hear her screams pleading to stop what he was doing.
