Hell lives

The night before I allowed my mind to floatingly think of meeting my maker was long. It was like an year, not close to end but so far from beginning. I remember well coming out from jail with lots of expectations that I will make it and develop our town, perhaps change its name to at least HAVEN or something good, but it ran clear that Hell was its only name. And anyone trying to be good will face it.

No one came for me. So I needed to walk alone past the route every one feared. They said it was the heart of HELL TOWN. Every evil dwelled on the route 69. Fear was growing in me but it was not from route 69,I was afraid of how people would take me. Would they see me as a murderer or the young upcoming tycoon.

Arriving where I had known as home, I found none. It was as if it had never been before. Not even my parents house nor them were present. Everyone I knew had gone. The town had changed. The only place that was true was Angelina's new home. I needed somewhere to spend the night. So I hoped she would understand so I knocked on her door and ignored everything assuming I was seeing things because it were at night.

Two minutes since I had knocked but no response. So I knocked again but this time, three times. And luckily, she opened the door, she had wore a towel and it was obvious she was from shower.

"come in. Welcome. Make yourself comfortable, I'll go and change. "

She left. For now, I felt safe and secure. I had courage passing the most feared route and withstanding anything but I was afraid what I would tell Angelina when she returns. What would we be talking about? My blood was slowly rising Eagerly waiting for her without knowing what next when she comes. Two hours for waiting, then I started being sleepy. Next thing I knew it was in the morning . waking up, I found myself covered in a blanket, a note reading, sorry.

My mind brought back my senses. To go and confirm what I thought I had seen last night.

Not only was my home disappeared, but also the whole town was painted black. Yes, all the buildings, all the paths, only the sky which was blue. The sun's rays were absorbed by the black coating making Hell town hotter than HELL.

I merely asked my new unknown neighbours if they knew my parents but I was even more shocked when they said they have never seen me or heard of me. So how would they know my parents.

It was after four hours of restless moments when I remembered to ask about Tom.

The respondent said he was no longer called Tom. He said he was now called, MASTER TOM. He didn't fail to mention that he owned the great PARTY IN HELL APARTMENTS. HE WAS LIKE A god.

That is when my mind went numb. That was my apartment. How could my best friend destroy my life like that. Betray me and take everything from me. I had come out of jail for defence reasons, but now, I swore to myself I would kill him myself. I didn't mind going back to jail.

Angrily, I went to my or Tom's apartment to kill him. Banging the door, I found a great party in it. Angelina being one of the dance crew who were half naked. Everything stopped when I entered. Murmurs started. Straight to the main office, I found Tom. On seeing me, He fell on my knees and called me, "friend, you are back. Leave this town and never come back. An evil spell have fell upon this town. Everyone has been affected. "

Those were the most strangest words I have ever heard since I was born. But he seemed to have forgotten one thing, I was born stubborn. And I could not leave the town just because told me to. After all, I had come for an explanation and I was not going to leave without any. So, he started

"eight days after you were arrested, Tong Xiao returned from the dead. I don't know how but from where you shot him, people believe that your parents house turned to him. Nobody have ever seen your parents since then. So, that was during the night. We believe that it was him who changed every place here black to protect him. He had returned evil to avenge his killer. The morning we woke up, we found him casting spells here. So, the Hell you know is gone. Here, there is no way you can move out of the town. You will always find yourself moving in circles. Everyone was frightened, we knew it was the end of us all. But somehow, Archie too returned. But it appeared that Tong Xiao was stronger in powers than our saviour Archie. They fought hard but Tong came with a way to destroy Archie, to make an army. His bite turned us to demons. Perhaps vampires. Archie managed to kill them all before he died again but was unable to kill one of us, "ANGELINA " his love. She had been beaten. So before Archie left, he casted his powers up and said, THEY WILL GO TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER. Since then, Angelina has turned almost everybody in the town a dark angel. That is what we call them. But they only become blood thirsty at night. So, during the day, we are safe.

You talk crazy my friend. "there are no such things as vampires. Why did I not see them last night when I was coming from jail? "

"That could only mean one thing. You are the Rightful owner. And the powers have been protecting you"

He said.

"Come my friend. We must go and see the Oracle. She will tell you what to do. "

I did not know what to believe. All this sounded like madness. I didn't know where they were taking me, until we arrived to a rounded hut in the valley bottom. Somewhere I have never known it existed. Then they stopped upon arriving and said,

"we cannot go past this. Enter, and say, the one has arrived and the Oracle will reveal herself. "

At that time, I had considered the possibility of their story being true so I entered. Upon saying what they told me, as they said, the Oracle revealed herself. IT WAS MY MOTHER IN SPARKLING WHITE CLOTHES.
