Merchant Of Death

knowing everything

" Mama!" I gasped where is mama, I need to save her. I struggled out of Derek's hold but his hold on me was firm.

" Let me go Derek" I continued to struggle but his hold on me grew tighter.

" Why did you scream. What did you remember" he questioned his breath fannin against my skin.
I continue to wiggle my way out of his grasp and ignore his question, my only target was my grandmother, i needed to get back. Letting out a frustrated sigh seeing that he's not going to let me go and my wiggling was completely futile I decided to give in.

" Fine, my grandmother I feel she's in some type of trouble.. like she wants me to save her" I whisper the last part.
His grip on me loosened and his face went completely pale like someone sucked the blood off his face. Confused I stood in front of him holding onto his arm and asked the question that has been going on inside of me since I remembered bits of my trance.

" What , what...what is it...I mean..what does it mean" he looked disoriented. I looked into his eyes and saw.. was it fear? Derek is not afraid right I mean from what I've seen he is tough right?. I shook him again reminding him he hasn't answered my question yet.

" Derek?" This time he looked me in the eyes, fear dancing in his stormy grey orbs, not even blinking.

" It has begun..."

He looked at the petit woman standing in front of him with her head bowed. This is what he was trying to avoid. How did this happen he asked himself,yes they had mind-blowing s*x but he did not plan this, not from where he came from.

What is he going to do, he just had to tell her. He had already broken a law and is going to face judgement so,if he breaks a heart it's going to be for their own good he thought.

Facing her he folded his arms and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Emily...(sigh) I ..I..I..I'm sorry but you'll have to remove it and if you can't then I'll have to leave your life" he said all in one breath turning his face to the side as her stare burned holes through his face.

Angry was an understatement,she was fuming. How could he say that,after everything he promised her?, She gave him everything.she went against her mother and ran away with him..'o mother' she thought.will mother ever forgive her.

With that she broke down, crying her heart out. She had made a mistake a very big mistake and she had to fix it. She's not going to give up the only thing that'll make her happy and she most definitely does not need his help.

After much thinking,she turned to face him, looking at him with disgust and anger swimming in her blue orbs, saying the last thing she'll ever say to him.

" Don't ever come back...i. .hate you" she sneered, with that she turned and left leaving him to his own thoughts.

"So what you are trying to tell me is that I'm in the spirit world?" They all nod their heads.

Okay in as much as I'm trying not to laugh I ask another question.

" Why do you have a lot of rooms and the outside looks like this place is completely deserted"

He raised a brow and shook his head. What I'm just curious.

" Amelia, this.or better still we all that live here are like an army.." army? Of what.

He continues"follow me" he leads the way as he takes me to another room full of books and desks, files and papers laying carelessly on the desk.

The same painting I saw in the living room and kora's room was here also. There was something oddly familiar about this picture that I could not place my hand on.

" Earth to Amelia?.." Derk snapped his finger in front of me, bringing me out of my own thoughts.

He placed a box full of things and then a book by the side, I looked at him with one of my brow up.

" What do I do with all this." I say as a matter of fact. He clasped his hands on his back and moved around the room.

" Today Amelia ,you are knowing everything... yourself"
I scoffed and looked at him. He must be crazy.

" Seriously" I sit on the dusty chair, quickly getting up back. They really need to clean this room.

He looks at me and shake his head.  " Listen, you need to learn everything and when I mean everything, I mean everything.
And in learning everything you need to know everything first.."  he said all in one breath pointing his index finger at me.i decided to annoy him a little.

" Okay..what if I have to use the bathroom" he looks at me with a ' seriously' face and points at the chair for me to sit.

" But it's dusty" he still doesn't buy it and tells me to sit.
" But ..but...but.. " I try to reason with him, but he had made up his mind already.

" Sit" if I fall Ill because of him I'm definitely going to sue him, I don't care if he's a spirit.

Opening the first page of the book I saw a scrawled number like the number on my waist. The number on my waist! I had forgotten about it completely, I used my hand to feel the mark, it felt...weird

I used my hands to turn the pages of the book and the most shocking thing about the number on my waist made my heart thump.it says

The number is the devils mark.
Anyone baring it, is tied to him
Forever remains his slave.
As days pass, the life wastes.
As the number fades, the life fades
As the days counts, the life counts.
Bringing him closer to his destiny
Bringing him closer to death
Bringing him closer to the devil....

I close the book with force, standing up, making my way to the mirror, raising my shirt up to see the mark on my waist.how did I not know this, it burns when the number changes right.i look at derek, I could feel my heart beating so fast, I could hear my heart racing. Palms sweaty and ears pink...

In twenty days...in twenty days. I let out a shaky sigh.

" Oh no"
