Chapter 4 - The Basement

The night ended with the cheers and laughter in the party the friends had. As the time passed all of them were slept due to heavy drinks they had. Magus went to the patio and stood like a statue, there Gonas and Fencer joined him. Maple went to sleep after cleaning the surroundings while the remaining members were lying on the ground drunken. Fencer asked Gonas about the situation and what he was hiding from him and the other members so long that a powerful Demons were roaming just near his place, with a mixed tone of fear and curiosity.As the night passed, all three of them Magus, Gonas and Fencer had a long chat regarding the whole things that are being happening. After listening to the whole thing Fencer's face became a mixture of all feelings with a blank thought of what to do next. Magus came forward and put his hand on Fencer's shoulder and said "No worry, Fen, I have covered this place with my magic. But I cannot do this for a long time, they may find us if I lose a single point of concentration on the barrier I had kept. The thing is, we should plan accordingly and move the child away safely from here while I have the power to conceal the presence. With this they ended the chat and went to bed deciding to discuss the matter with others except Maple, early in the morning.Before the sunrise quiet early in the morning all of them gathered in the basement of the house. There Fencer narrated the whole story to others, and asked for the suggestions and if any plans they can come up with. "So, this was the reason you asked us to come to your house Gonas, and not with friendship ha!" said Gust with a sarcasm. Nebula interrupted him saying "Gust! keep your mouth shut! This is no time to joke around. With this Gust has received another smack on his head from Ignite. They started to discuss different ways to move from the place suddenly a loud sound of knocking the door to the basement was heard, it was non-stop that for the time they thought they were been found.Gonas told them to hide in the near place, while Gonas opens the door, he said "I will keep the enemy occupied you rush out from the side and save my child and Maple." Everyone accepted to it within seconds and were hiding Gonas went to the door making his fear into his strength. And was ready to hit the person outside as he was opening the door. He suddenly stopped his hit in the middle way seeing it was his wife, Maple. She started to shout out loud with fear seeing her husband hitting her. Hearing a different sound from what was expected the others came out to see what was going on.They all went to the patio, Nebula and Terra comforting Maple from sitting on her side. Gonas shouted on Maple without thinking " Why are at that place in such time, do you know what could have happened if I hit you there?" Maple replied "No was found in house so, I was worried." with tears in her eyes. Fencer put his hand on Gonas and said "Don't you think it's our fault. We are the ones who kept secret from her and disappeared suddenly." into the Gonas ears without Maple hearing those words. Gonas realized his mistake and said sorry to Maple while kneeling in front of her, holding her hands and tears running down his eyes. He also said "I was feared of losing you on the moment and could not stop my anger, I am sorry! I am sorry!" He sobbed in her hands like a small child. Magus seeing Gonas like that, he said " No one will believe that the Great Gonas was a baby like this." and started to smile bringing smile to everyone's face again.Nebula and Terra took Maple to her room. There they saw the child. Seeing the beautiful child Nebula and Terra could not return. They stayed there playing with him. The boy was a well behaved, quite beautiful, and fragile looking with a smile of pure happiness with no worries and fear on his face. After playing for some time when they returned, they teased other members of not able to see the most beautiful boy clearly the evening and started to tell the things with exaggeration making other envy them.The others said that while moving away on the journey the boy will be with them but not women. Nebula interrupted saying "But when did you make the plan?" Gust said "When you were doing the babysitting work, you ladies...!" in a cunning tone. Gonas said the plan will be executed tomorrow early in the morning, and today the preparations will be done for the journey. Then Gonas went to Maple in the room and said that they have prepared a trip to another place so that the child can learn many things on the way and the other place where they are going to stay. Maple agreed to him without saying a word as it was for the child.
