Chapter 55

With happiness, Irye tells her family about the good news. That had seen what actions Irye takes to make Abigail disappear in a an instant.

They don't get why it's possible to make her vanish so fast like previously.

"It's my blood."Irye tells them. "I just realised that she is very much allergic to it. It like an acid has been poured on her when my blood touches her."

"So finally..."Evie begins. "Finally we've found a way to get rid of her."

"Yeah"Irye replies happily. "And very soon we will be able to leave here and live our normal lives again."She says looking at the boundary.

"But is that all it takes to get rid of her?"Claude asks to confirm.

"Didn't you just hear what she said? Did she say anything..."Evie answers but is interrupted.

"You will need a lot"Blake mutters anxiously.

"What?"Irye cocks her head to Blake.

"Your mom is a strong opponent. Just a little drop of blood can't do anything to her. Even if it causes pain and she disappears, she will come back again. Knowing her from these few times, she comes back stronger than before."Blake explains audibly.

"He's right."Gerrard agrees with Blake and they all turn to him in amazement.

Noticing the weird looks they are sending his way, he scowls in confusion.

"What?"He asks, sitting up. His hands carefully move to his wounded shoulder.

He takes a deep breath and looks at them.

"It's not like am mute or something. Stop looking at me like you've seen some kind of miracle."

They break into laughter. "Well for once I thought you were a mute."Blake admits and the family bark in laughter once more.

"Well that aside.."Gerrard says still feeling amused by Blake's statement. "Aunt Abby is strong and also a spirit at that. She's gonna keep coming until her gets hand on what she wants."

"So where are you heading to?"Evie asks, preparing for another blast of laughter.

"A little blood won't do anything to her."Evie's expectations becomes a dream. She notices Gerrard is not in a

mood to be joking around.

"With a few drops of blood, we will just cause pain."Gerrard says.

"You are obviously saying the same thing a over again"Claude cuts in. "Tell us what to do."

"We will need a lot of blood to be able to get rid of her."Irye answers.

"And that's the problem."Blake states.

"I don't think our bloods will do anything to her. So Irye has to take out her blood and a lot too."Gerrard explains.

"And what of we never get to leave here."Evie realises what they are trying to insinuate. "Losing lots of blood can be deadly. You could lose your life."

They now get the whole scenario and it makes them worry the more. Grams is just quiet as she has not yet gotten over her son dying again.

"Then we should just help out however we can"Claude suggests. "We will fight alongside you."

"Yes"Evie agrees with her brother. "We can't stay in hiding all the time while you go out there and fight her. We also want to fight."

"No guys."Irye disagrees, shaking her head.

"You shouldn't say no, Irye. Let us also be able to protect you. Allow us to."Blake tries to talk it out with her.

"No!"Irye stritcly says. "Am not allowing you to go there and fight her. What if you get hurt? I can't bear with that..No..its a NO."she makes it clear.

"So are you going to fight her all by yourself every time?"Mae intrudes. "Don't be selfish."

"If that's what I have to do then yes, I will."Irye says. "Am not being selfish on this and even if I am, and it will protect you guys, then so be it."

Blake takes in a long breath and looks at Evie who in turn looks at her brother.

"Alright, we won't."Blake says after sometime.

Irye stands up and leaves out of frustration. She wants to protect them at the cost of her life but they seem not to understand. She knows that are also trying to help her but it won't be good for her if she loses any one of them.

Their situation could end up as Gerrard's or even worse. She can't bear with that so it's better they don't help.

Right after Irye leaves, Blake taps Evie.

"We surely are going to help right?"He asks.

"Oh a hundred percent YEAH."Evie answers, nodding her head.

They gather and talk about how to help Irye to fight her mother behind her back.

Secretly, they prepare by gathering basic weapons like sticks and sharpening some of them to be like spears.

When Abigail comes, she's going to face hell before they send her there.

Meanwhile, Richard still keeps on with his drinking attitude.

No matter what his wife says, it can't amount to the regret he's feeling towards Irye.

After the day his wife scolds him, he's become used to her nagging all the time he drinks.

It's weeks and his daughter is not at home mother does he know where she is. Not to talk of his mother, his old mother who should be resting.

He never knew he felt this way towards his family until when they can't be found.

For all he knows, his family maybe in pain out there or suffering from something else.

Whether they are feeling cold or hot, he doesn't know, whether they are sick or not, he doesn't know and it kills him on the inside.

He plans to go to where they got lost and find them by himself since the people he hired are not giving him any useful information.

He plans to bring his family back himself.
