Collins begin to walk faster when he saw that Hosea was following him.
" Collins wait!". Hosea shouted and blocked his path.
" What do you want?". Collins said impatiently.
" You look confused and scared. Are you alright?". Hosea asked.
" I'm okay, I just wanna go home to have some rest". He answered while looking around like someone was after him. Hosea turned her back and looked around too but saw no one.
Then she turned and looked at Collins's eyes.
" What are you trying to do?". Collins asked.
" I'm looking into your eyes to see what you are scared of or what is chasing you away by this time". Hosea answered.
Collins scoffed.
" You are not my guardian so you can't do that ".
Hosea smirked still looking into his eyes and said.
" Have you forgotten there is water in your eyes?".
" So?".
" Hmm... guess what the princess of the ocean can do". Hosea said and Collins gasped.
" As far as your eyes aren't dried, I will get my answer. I don't need to be your guardian before".
Collins tried closing his eyes but it was too late Hosea had already seen what was wrong with him.
" Why are you interested in my privacy?".
Collins asked.
" Because I can see you are a suffering supernatural being". Hosea said and Collins stumbled backward.
" How did you know?". He asked.
" I found it in your eyes. They have drawn in them, Collins. You can't keep on running away from your fears for they will always chase after you no matter what. You need to face them. You have to show them that you won't let your powers get exploited". Hosea said.
" I'm too weak, I'm not strong enough ". Collins said and bent down his head.
" Hmm..you are not weak, Collins. If you know the kind of powers you possess you won't be saying this now. All you need to boost it up, is courage and the faith that you can face your fears. If you are not strong, why do you think the demons, the devils, and the vampires want to use your body and powers?". Hosea asked.
" I just don't know why?". Collins said.
" Because you have the powers to do what they can only dream of doing. Who won't like to be a night owl who sees everything and blend into anything he wants?". Hosea chuckled.
" Then can you please teach me how to be strong? I have a lot of people to revenge for". Collins said as a glint appeared in his eyes.

" Luca! Luca was never my friend. He only treat me like a maid and I hate him for that". King sniffed.
Dela sighed. Should I believe him or not? He looked at how king was crying and sat beside him again.
" What is going on here?". Hosea asked as she entered with Collins together with Layla whom they met on their way to the class.
Collins only walked straight to his seat and said down with Layla who looked at Hosea and winked.
King cursed under his breath. Just when he thought he had succeeded in luring Dela back to his side here they are appearing from nowhere. He exhaled and raised his head, leaving the tears in his eyes to look pity at Hosea.
"I was only apologizing to Dela and also to clear the misunderstanding between us". King said.
" What misunderstanding are you talking about?". Hosea asked and Layla looked in their direction and then returned her head to her book.
" About me being a demon". King said trying not to break into a fight with Hosea.
" Ooh, okay". Hosea smirked, which made him shudder.
She smiled at king and went to sat beside Layla and Collins.
King was shocked since Hosea didn't prolong it further. Maybe she didn't notice or she wasn't concentrating. He smiled successfully while Layla looked at him closely.
"Aren't we going to stop him?". Layla whispered to Hosea when she was also seated with them.
"Not yet, I can see he wants to have some fun so we will allow him to have it. Dela would deal with him by himself". Hosea said and smirked.
"And I think it can also be a good training lesson for Dela as well". Layla said and they laughed.
"Aww, so we are good friends again right?". King asked and beamed.
"I did not say that we are good yet. But you can't sit down with me". Dela said.
When Hosea was asking king questions, Layla felt that something was weird as she watched king. Also, Hosea winked at him before she left, meaning that was a sign for him to be careful.
"So it means you haven't forgiven me?". King pouted.
"I want to see if you are a person to be forgiven ". Dela said.
King was taken aback by Dela's sudden statement but he didn't show his reaction.
He just smiled and rested his head on the desk.
Dela smirked, twisted his eyebrows, and looked at Hosea and Layla who gave him thumbs up.
The student sat up as their English teacher entered the class. Mr. Dal was a no-nonsense person. He was straightforward and does his things accordingly to the school rules and regulations. The student brought out their notebooks and their booklet. In other not to get into his trouble the whole class was enveloped with silence.
King Drake appeared in the classroom invisible. But Layla and Hosea were the first to see him before Collins who flinched when he saw him.
"What is he doing in here?". Hosea asked and Layla looked at her confused.
"Who is he?". She asked.
"He is the devil himself, from hell". Collins said, shivering all around.
"And why is he here?". Layla asked again.
"He is here for me". Collins said as fear seized him suddenly.
Hosea and Layla looked at him and saw that he was watching Dela who's whole attention was on the English lesson.
" Dela look up". Layla whispered and he heard it.
King saw him but pretended not to have seen him. He kept on writing what the teacher had written on the maker board.
The other supernatural creatures in the class couldn't see him but some did.
When Dela heard Layla's voice, he looked up. And immediately he looked up their eyes met, he gasped drawing the attention of everyone in the class, including the teacher.
"Jones are you alright?". Mr. Dal asked, he was the only one who called him by his surname.
King Drake looked at the attention he had drawn and looked at Hosea then chuckled before disappearing.
***
Bunny appeared in front of king Drake.
"My king, please I didn't find him". He said with his head hung low.
"I know, I saw him in that class together with those strong three!". King Drake clenched his fist.
"But I found something". He said.
"What was it?". He asked.
"I found Asher and Hassan . They have been stuck in a time loop!". Bunny exclaimed.
"They have been what!". Drake yelled.
"Yes master, they have been stuck in there. It looks like they are in between past and present . They look as if they're frozen in space". Bunny said.
"Why didn't you bring them here?". He asked.
"I...I wanted to tell you first ". He said.
"Now you have my order, go and bring them here!". He ordered.
"As you wish". He said and bowed then disappeared.
***
"Jones, what is wrong with you..why are you looking shocked?". Mr. Dal said.
Dela looked at Layla and Hosea who shook their head, telling him to say nothing.
"Nothing is wrong, I'm okay". He said.
"But you look shocked". He said.
"I..I .I just remembered that I left my phone on charge at home". He lied.
"So you are thinking about your phone in the middle of lesson?". Mr. Dal asked and Dela smiled nervously.
He facepalmed and turned back to the board to continue with what he was doing.
Dela rolled his eyes and exhaled then continued writing.
"I think he was here for Dela rather". Collins whispered to Hosea and Layla who were lost in thought.
They nodded, still thinking about why Drake had come to look at Dela just like that and gone away without doing anything. Now, they were more determined to protect him at all costs. As Dela was determined to protect Layla, she was also busily thinking about how to protect him. Suddenly she remembered Jonie.
"Jonie!". Layla said and her eyes widened.
"What?". Hosea said but Layla was already out of the place.
"Did she just disappeared?". Collins asked.
"Of course she did. She is my twin sister". Hosea said and Collins gasped.
"You mean she is also a princess!". Collins asked.
"Of course she is". Hosea smirked and looked back at Dela.
***
Layla made herself invisible and went to Jonie's class, she walked closer to him.
"Jonie, you need to make yourself invisible your dad is here, or travel back to the past right now!". Layla said and Jonie looked at how the girls were watching him left and right, how then does he suppose to talk or vanished? Then he remembered he can stop the time.
"Jonie, Jonie". Layla called.
"Yes, wait I'm coming". He closed his eyes and opened them again, then everything was frozen in place.
"What are you talking about?". Jonie said.
"I said your dad is here". She said.
"How did you know he is my dad?". Jonie asked.
"Would you stop asking me questions and do as I say!" Layla yelled at him.
"But I can't travel back to the past?". He said.
"Why can't you?". Layla asked.
"It will take me a long time before I can travel back here. We don't just travel back into the past just like that". He explained.
"Then what are you going to do ".
"I will travel to the future rather ". He said.
"Then do it quick".
"Okay". He said and Layla was about to vanish when he stopped her.
"Hey, tell Hosea to take care and you too". He said and vanished then everything returned to normal. Layla smiled and went back to the class.
"How did it go". Hosea asked.
"I went to inform him about his father's suddenly present here". She said.
"So where is he now?". Hosea asked.
"He travel to the future". She said and Collins gasped.
"What!! How is it possible for someone to travel to the future?". Collins asked.
"That is his ability ". Hosea said.
"Is he the devil's son?". Collins asked.
"Yes, Jonie ". Layla replied.
"Wow, I wish to see him". Collins said.
"He will come here when his father is gone". Hosea said and they returned their concentration to what the teacher was bragging about.
After the lesson was over, it was their second break. King stood up and faced Dela.
"Would you like to have something with me?" He said.
Dela's mind drives back to the poison issue. He shook his head and fake a smile.
"Not really. I'm waiting for Hosea and Layla . You can go without me ". He said.
"Okay ". King sighed and left the class.
