Ghost Ores

Sarafena's battle with del-lu-ly

Sarafena's POV

"Shut up, shut up", I whispered. It was as if the demon was shouting and banging on the walls of my mind.

Hence why the witches prison was always last resort. Some of us would loose control and the demon would take over.

It's voice was similar to debilitating headaches. If I wasn't carefully, I could lose this bat..................."Shut up!!!!!", I shouted interrupting my own thoughts while covering my ear.

"Are you ok", asked John as he rushed to my bedside.

"Yes", I am fine. Just a little tired and weary.

"I could of sworn you shouted", said John.

"Yes I was, from the depths of my dream. I was having a nightmare."

"That's right old woman, lie and keep me hidden as soon I'll be driving this scrawny broken down vehicle of a body", I heard it say.

"Ok", said John as he handed me a glass of water and exited the room.

I am not strong enough for the witches prison. I must take Yashseana's advice release this thing before it leads to the end of me. But not here I must put it back from whence it came.

Yashshauna's POV
Phone rings......

John: how are you? How is Yash?

Yashshauna: am fine dad and Yash is as well. How is Sarafena?

John: she is fine, just a bit weary still but knowing Sarafena. She will be ok soon enough.

Yashshauna: Dad am not sure sure about that. When she left here with you the way she normal did, her heads resembled that of a reptile. However it was completely black,  completely darken.

John: well i was with her just now and she seemed fine to me.

Yashshauna: just be care that's all am saying. Love you.

Phone call ends

I have this weird gut feeling about Sarafena but I just can't completely say what it is. But I know something is wrong with her. I sat thinking as I placed my hand on my cheek.

"Babe there is something I must tell you", said Murron from behind me.

I turned to face him.

"Remain seated he said", as he sat down to join me.

He remained slient for a minute and then he spoke.

"My father is ill and dying and he only as 3-2 years to live until his body becomes immune to his present treatment.  The doctors are sure of it, that he will expire then." Hence why I had to leave in a hurry. He needed blood from his direct discendant", he said.

"That's ok babe I......"

"That's not all",  he said interrupting me.

"Ok sorry continue", I said.

"When he dies, I am meant to take over from him", said Murron.

"That's pretty much similar to my situation I understand", I assured him.

Murron got up and started pacing back and forth in the room. It was a good that Yash started her new  school today, she couldn't see her father like this.

"Look what is it you are not telling me?", I asked.

"To succeed him, I must take a vampire wife", he said.

"What?", I asked.

"Or you must become a vampire. Those are the two options of which I was presented with", said Murron.

"But why?", I asked.

"They say it's the way we have always done things. But I know they doing it to piss me off."

"Well we have 3-4 years to worry about this, alot can change in time. Let's revisted this then", said Yashshauna.

"You mean 2-3 years", said Murron.

"Yea, yea, I know........Murron I think we should go visit dad and Sarafena."

"But they were literally just here", said Murton.

"Yes however, I just spoke to dad. Sarafena is not doing well. He thinks she will pull through but am not so sure", I told him.

"I am not coming,  you are going to have to make this trip alone", he responded.

"You do remember it's our daughter, she went to save and as a result, she is ill."

"You are right, as soon as Yashmin is home. We will make the trip there", said Murron.

Sarafena's POV

John's asleep the time is now, I thought as I scrambled weakly to my feet. I prepared myself and went into the shadow.......I mean spirit realm.

I often make this mistake sometimes. The shadow realm is where the ghosts go when they leave their human bodies . To travel undetectable while alive.

The spirt realm is the place where unhinged demons and all type of disturb dead souls hang out.

I stand once again on the endless pathway surrounded by darkness and desperate hands.

I did my due diligence as I attempted to release the demon back into the spirit realm.

And when I did, my head was once again slient and peaceful. I didn't felt as ill anymore. That's it I said to myself or I hope that's it. This is my first demon to be imprisoned and release.

My mother always told me when you release them, they are send a distance away from you. So hopefully that's why I a not face to face with him.

God was I thankful for the slience.

I made my way back into the land of the living, as it is called ever so often.

I entered the house happily to greet John but I was first confronted by a familiar smell...........blood????

I started to panic as I searched for the origin of the scent. Within 5 minutes my heart had sunk as I saw John laying in a pool of his own blood.

I bend down quickly to compressed the wounds to slow the bleeding. As I compressed I applied bandage after bandage. My hands were saturated with his blood but I couldn't stop trying to save him.

"Get away from my dad ", I heard a voice shouted from behind me.

I turned around to see Yashmin, Yashshauna and Murron with looks of terror on their faces.

"I can explain", I said........."Wait no I can't", I continued holding on to my head.

"What have you done?", asked Yashshauna as she ran to her dad's side.

Word from author

The chief is down.........wonder what happened? Is he dead?

What will Sarafena's faith be, since she has been found standing over a bleeding John.

All this to come and more. See you next chapter.
