CHAPTER 22

-LOCK'S POINT OF VIEW-

"Since when you know the truth?" Alice ask me one more time

"You'll die if I tell you, Alice" I stated playfully making her furious.

"Argh! Fuck you Lopez!" she shouts while she gritted her teeth.

"Indeed Ms. Alice! Welcome to your prison cell. You were asked to love. You were asked to remain meek. You were asked to protect the weak and be chivalrous. What you did was hunt with the glee of a demon pack. So, take a look around you. If you can't see the walls closing in, you soon will." I stated before she rides the police mobile.

"Now what?" Gray asks as he sat towards the chesterfield.

"You beat a woman jackass!" Pendelton stated as he sat down on the chair in front of him.

"So?" Gray coldly utters

"asshole!" Drain stated as he looks towards my direction.

"Is it true?" he asked

"Yes, so what?" I said, as I looked straight towards his eyes

"how did you know everything?" he asks me as he furiously grabs my shirt

"Because Mr. Andrew himself talked too much that night" I simply utter.

(LOCK STARTED TO TELL HIS SIDE...)

-FLASHBACK-

-THE NIGHT BEFORE PENDELTON'S BODY FOUND-

(NIGHT OF ANDREW'S INTERROGATION)

After the psychotic man tell his backstory a contagious laugh released.

"I merely did the dirty job" as the crazy man repeat what he said. "Dirty job... like the great Knight-drain Pendelton Chase... sadly, that kid never experienced to killed isn't it?"

My eyes widened "You didn't believe that Knight killed Copper?" I curiously asked

As before the man open his mouth and answer, he laughs louder and louder "Nah. I didn't believe, that kid was being framed-up by supremo" he giggles like a five-year-old girl saw his crush.

"who's your Supremo?"

A silly laugh that can cause the floor screeched, "There is no such thing as leader kid! Outside this wall there are supremos, one plays with poison, one plays with weapons and one plays the cards." He suddenly become serious while he said those lines.

"what do you mean?" I said out of disbelief.

"1720, 1820, 1920, 1948, 1901 are you familiar with that years?" he asks me

"year of darkness" I whispered

"Indeed. 1720 is the year where the lust was born, it is in the bloodline of Richardson to seek for bloodlust. There is a connection between "beauty" and "love," but not in the way advertisers would have us believe. They tout a form of beauty that is merely aesthetic, something that could inspire lust, a thin replica of love based more in desire and conquest. What they claim is to bestow they cannot, for real beauty comes from within; and it is only that form of beauty that can make lasting love connections. True love is a unity of souls, not facial features and products that will be wiped clean away come the evening time. Someone truly wish to be happy, to be healthy and grounded, content with who he was. Finding it begins with a quiet understanding of one other, not demanding perfection but seeking the beauty every person holds within." He said as he seems serious about it.

"It was perfect indeed, Mr. Lopez." He grabs his bag and bring out a photo album. "It was taken during the year of 1720, a lovely house in Westfield drive, it was an old Dutch colonial house. And there's this lovely couple, Lawrence Chase and Patricia Chase. They are indeed beautiful together. They were another generation of Chase, while there is Friedrich and Dorothy Chase in the frame. Friedrich and Dorothy's bloodline was too famous, a sort-a royalty but instead to treat Lawrence and Patricia as their family, fate didn't move as we wanted to be. Friedrich and Dorothy wants superiority lusting to lead this Realm, so The first generation Chase do everything they can to remove any resources that Lawrence and Patricia have. Luckily the couple indeed save up for future purposes, after the wedding, Lawrence and Patricia bought and remodeled their perfect home creating high hopes and building new love. However, these couple began to receive horrifying letters, death threats and lustful letters from the so-called "onlooker". The watcher made references to the couple and threatened them to leave, yet the couple seems not affected on their current situation. It brings trigger to the onlooker and manage to give birth to the so-called lust. He murdered the couple, Lawrence was being tortured and Patricia was being raped until she got pregnant by the onlooker, giving birth to the bloodline of Richardson." He said as he handed me the photos of Lawrence and Patricia.
