Chapter 3- Revenge

He went back to Oscar the next day and when the little bell rang as he entered the store, Oscar, who was at the register looked up from behind the counter.

"You are back! You left your old clothes here and we thought you'd never come back"

"Sorry..."

Alek sighed deeply.

"The shadows in this place didn't let me sleep and although I'm thankful for you giving me a  place to sleep I decided I can't sleep here"

Oscar nodded understanding.

"Well you are back just in time, Dad doesn't have anyone in his office so we can start getting Justice for you"

Again Oscar brought him before his dad and Alek sat down.

"I heard that the shadows tormented you when you slept here"

"Yes Mr Octo"

"I told you that you have a gift and I believe it's because you don't know how to use your gift is the reason why you were attacked last night. You can control these shadows if you want"

Alek's eyes widen.

"But we won't be learning how to do that yet. first things first you want revenge don't you?"

Alek nodded.

"Give me your hand"

Alek gave it to him and Mr Octavius stabbed his finger with a needle causing it to bleed.

"Ouch"

"Last night I spent time investigating who is the person you wanted to get revenge on. Shadows told me it's your sister"

Alek mutely nodded as he watched Octo bring out a doll that looked like his sister.

"The one that caused all of this. She's the reason you went to jail...."

Octo grabbed Alek's bleeding finger and placed it over the doll so the blood droplets would Land on it.

"The one who says you did horrific things to her"

Alek stared at Octo deeply "And you believe her?"

"The shadows wouldn't tell me if you are innocent or not so I could very well be helping a monster get revenge but......I think it's worth the leap of faith if it means I get to mould the next powerful warlock"

Octo gave him a napkin to stop his finger from bleeding more.

"Okay, it's ready. Here is a knife, if you stab her head she will have mental issues, stab her hand she won't be able to use her hand again or if you stab her leg she probably won't be able to walk again- remember that you can only stab one time. So if you want to ruin both hands you have to stab the doll's hands at the same time."

Alek felt his heart race as he took the knife. 

Mr. Octo's shadow had a smile on its face when he got closer to the doll.

Part of Alek wanted to believe that this wouldn't work and that magic isn't real but the other part of him says, you see black shadow creatures so magic dolls can be possible.

Maybe it was adrenaline because he began to shake. 

He should feel ashamed feeling this way but he was excited.

Alek had wanted to get back at his sister for what she did to him.

In those 5 years, he thought horrific ways to hurt her if he got out but he never had the balls to do it.
