Time Tells

No Blood No Favors.

Things went on well for a couple of weeks till that horrible night. I was in the bathroom cleaning up myself when I heard some noise from my room. I quickly dressed up to see what was going on. When I walked into the room, my eyes landed on my bed, there was a knife stained with blood, I picked the knife and I touched the knife, it was not blood, it was just tomato paste . I was horrified to death. Who would do that?. The first thing I thought of was maybe it was Ellie. I went to his room still wearing a towel. "Ellie, are you mad putting a knife on my bed? ", I said showing him the knife . If you were done playing with it, don't you know where to place it, not on my bed. "Come on, when will you grow up", I said rolling my eyes at him.
            "Wow, someone is being hunted for, sister . I never knew you had haters".
            " Ellie, I know it's you so stop messing with me. Is it one of your silly pranks?"
            "Ella, believe me this time, I have nothing to do with it " he said promising me. He was right, he is not that genius to think of that. But if it wasn't Ellie, then who. I wouldn't sleep on that bed, not tonight. What would I do?, I think I should tell Saul, he might know how to solve my panic . I picked my phone and texted him to meet me outside my house right now.
               "Saul, someone was in my room and put a tomato paste stained knife on my bed, am really scared".
              " Calm down I will find who is that messing up with you just go inside and I will go see what I can do". Why did he seem so calm like it was no big deal, did he know who did it? I went to sleep but not on that bed, I slept on the couch. Meanwhile Saul went to meet a friend.
             "Radev, I need your help on some issue. Radev was a behind seer, he knows what happened,
           " No, problem but hope this time you brought blood because am missing it's taste, it's smell", said he.
            "Buddy I didn't think of that I will bring for you next time because am really in a rush".
           " Sorry but you know the rules here, no blood, no favors".
            "Okay, I think I will come back next time, sorry for bothering you".
             " Oh man, what's up with you? , am just kidding with you, you're like a brother. So what do you want me to do. But I still want a favor to ask. Please help me talk to Jazsel to accept, I really love her but she is a tough one, we both laughed.
               "Ok, ahhh, can you help me finding who placed a knife on Ella's bed. Don't ask much just do it".
                " Wait, who is Ella? Okay I won't ask. Ahhhh, let me see what we havvvvee. He closed his eyes and told Saul to don't open his mouth to speak unless he was done. He mentioned the name of the person.
              " Thank you and about Jazsel, I have not seen or heard of her, do you know where she is?"
               "Na, she's been missing since some weeks ago, no one has seen her".
              " I will check on her soon, thanks for the help. See you soon" .
               " Tell me of Ella, is she really the one you are trusting your life with? ", Radev said.
               " Let's keep Ella aside, and yes, she's the one I am entrusting my heart with" , he said giving a smile.
I was helping Sheila in the kitchen when I received a phone call from Saul telling me that it was Clara.......
