Chapter43: Dear Willy…

The next morning,

"-is he awake?

-oh good morning girl…if he is not we will wake him up.

-morning, but let's wait for Howin.

-why, would I wait for that loser?

-Ray!" He just rolled his eyes and leant on the wall a bit far from the cell of the prisoner.

"-finally…let's go." Ray didn't wait for the black-haired boy to say anything and turned his heels to the tied up man.

"-hey you wa …oh my god! Are you ok?" Ray called before he screamed and Ellie stepped in immediately.

-what's wrong? ...Why is he looking miserable? What did you do Ray?

-I did nothing I just came in. Why don't you ask him?" they both starred at the dejected state of the assassin.

"-I am sorry I didn't meant to kill the king…I was forced to do it…he told me I have to kill the king otherwise he will kill my wife and my daughter…please forgive me.

-hold on man, we didn't say or do anything and you just decided to tell everything…you are no fun.

-really…I am done with you." Ellie said disappointed and Ray just shrugged his shoulder before she added:

"-calm down we won't hurt you...

-yet, just tell me what happened from the beginning.

-can she interrogate me.

-she seems nice but she don't act nice.

-is she the worse between you?

-nahh the worst between us is with the prince, you are safe…you'd better speak because we don't have a lot of time to waste.

-ok…I was in the farm working and when I came home they was taking my wife and my little girl… I tried to stop them but I couldn't. I begged I will do anything to have them back…and he told me to…to…to…

-to kill the king you don't have to stutter." Howin finished with a dark look on his face making Willy more panicked than before.

"-ohh…you decided to play innocent again; dear Willy…But good job, carry on and don't messed up." A voice said in the poor farmer's head making sweat form on his forehead and his widened and start to tremble from fear.

"-so what's his name?" Ellie asked calmly but he seemed to get more horrified with every question he got asked.

"-whom are you talking about?

-don't play dumb, the one who send you." Ray answered harshly making the culprit flinch in horror before he answered:

-I-I don't know h-his name and…I-I-I didn't even saw his face…I swear I am saying the truth sir."

The three looked at each other before Howin decided to pose the question this time:

"-can you take us to him?

-I-I…aahh…

-tell him yes." The voice said again and the poor Willy nodded in a repetitive crazy manner.

"-yes…yes…I will take you.

-not now dear Willy at night…we will meet at…

-I only can take you at night at…

-okay we will come and take you then, don't try to escape…uhmm.

-Willy sir, my name is Willy.

-okay Willy as I said…Don't try to escape and we will go easy on you with the final judgment since you decided to cooperate…let's go now." Ray finished his sentence with a bright smile on and left with the others.

"-Well done Willy…Well done.

-Please leave me alone…leave me alone." The farmer was trembling in the cell only looking intensely at the ground mumbling to himself; and the only thing he is hearing is the echo who an evil laugh in his mind.

"-is he ok?

-leave him alone he seems like a fool." The guards talked with each other, and the farmer was going insane from panic, fear, stress and from the stranger voice in his head.

"-What are we going to do know?" Ellie asked and Ray responded:

"-get ready for tonight."

"-is that the place?

-yes Madame.

-it better be or you are in big trouble." Ellie finished and made her way to an old big run-down house; in a neglected secluded area from the village.

The three partners, Willy the farmer and a group of guards; half of them stayed outside and the other half went with them inside.

"-Where should we go now?

-'upstairs, third room to the right, I put a surprise for you dear Willy.'

-Upstairs, third room to the right." Ray motioned for the rest of them to follow him.

"-stay behind Me." he ordered the poor farmer who just nodded gulping his salvia.

Ray broke the door and Willy ran fast, that no one; could catch him.

"-Dad…save us." The little girl was crying and the father couldn't hold back his tears of happiness.

-don't cry sweetie…your father is here for you.

-Willy came back!" Howin yelled but the old man shouted back:

"-I gave you what you want let me save my family.

-Willy! Don't leave us.

-I won't honey I promised!" he was doing his best to loosen up the tight rope around them.

"-I said came here and stop what are you doing!

-Leave me alone people! I won't leave my family to die.

-THEY ARE DEAD!" Ellie had enough with his stubborn and illusion mind.

"-they are not!

-Dad!

-Willy!

-You are talking to dead corpse dumb ass." Ray commented but the farmer just turned back to open the knot saying:

"-Don't worry I won't leave you!

-And we won't leave you too Dear Willy." The two said in union in union in a tone he knows very well, blood leaked down his hands and he started to tremble he raised his eyes slowly to be met with two bloody faces smiling creepily at him. He jumped back, his faces turned almost blue from fear, tears flow down his cheeks.

They were laughing like psychopaths, the same laugh that caused him restless nights, the same laugh that caused him nightmares…the same laugh of the psychopaths he know.

The more they laugh the more blood they drip; the more insane he turns. He covered his ears and formed in ball yelling 'No' and 'please stop' but the sound get louder every time.

No one was understanding what's happening only watching a crazy man yelling nonsense and covering his ears and was about to free two bloody corpses.

"-he is a fool and we wasted our time with him..." Ray commented, suddenly the door closed "-or maybe not." Ellie added taking her fight position as everyone else.

The corpses stopped moving and the annoying sound, he took a glance at them and they turned to face him out of sudden and the only thing he heard was:

"-Good bye Dear Willy it was nice working with you" His brain exploded and blood got out of his ears, eyes and mouth like the other dead bodies of his wife and daughter that he lied next to them…lifeless.

"-you have ten seconds to break the damn door or you will end up like him." Ellie shouted at the guards tried to break the door but soon stopped to look at the two hunters and the dark-haired incubus, their eyes filled with rage and all white, they raised their swords at them and in no time started to attack them.

Ten guards versus three, not a fair play but a funny one for him; he was enjoying playing with his new toys.

"-we have to get out of here.NOW." Ray shouted and Ellie tried to answer between breaths fighting four big men:

"-the door is closed and we are surrounded by them. Any other idea.

-let's jump!" Howin commented and the other two was shocked.

"-you are crazy man! We are in the second floor…unless you want to break a bone or two!

-Ray! It's not time for jokes!" she dropped her sword and one of the guards made a big cut all over her back she yelled from pain and fell down.

Howin jumped to rescue her, he put her on his back and ran to the window and jumped.

He hugged her tightly to prevent from causing her any more injuries, only few scratches on her face while he twisted his wrist and probably broke his leg. He looked around to find the other guards dropped dead.

It took Ray a little bit longer to jump from the window on a near tree, then fell on the ground rubbing his back, but he ignored his pain and ran to check on Ellie who was whimpering from pain and soaked in blood.

"-let's go before they ran behind us." With that the house was set on fire, the guards were burned alive, shouting for help but the others flee away; looking for help; they went to Andrew. He was the nearest to seek help and the best one to ask for it from.
