Chapter 87

The words he said repeated on my mind, "wait a minute what do you mean by destiny and promise?", this man must be nutter than he let on.

His actions and words can be justified as he was locked in a prison in a book as ancient as time.

If I was to have been in the predicament he's now in, I will at least talk insane for like an hour or two before my thoughts will return back to me. 

He looked at me like one does a child, "what do you mean by your question?", he asked with a confused expression on his face.

I face palmed myself, "how can you ask a question as stupid as that?", I can't believe am talking to him.

He too looked at me with an impatient Expression, I guess he's waiting for me to come to terms with his words before he will make good on his threat. 

"Why do you think am the destined child or whatever your dull mind is trying to conjure?", I almost laughed out loud at the thoughts of I being the destined child if not for the muderous look he had on his face.

Suppressing a laugh isn't good for my health, a suppresses laugh isn't enjoyable, it hurts the ribs.

He looked at me like am the dumb between us two, "you're the one that released me from the book, no?", he asked with that same confused expression on his face..

His eyes kept darting from me go Happy then back at me, he couldn't keep his eyes at a place.

I nodded, "am the one, although I must say I didn't release you, neither did I want to release you; I only touched the book you were in based on my doubts about Happy and his words", I looked at the statue like Happy, he was still as still as a statue with no urge to move it's body.

"Why is he that way?", I asked the beast; it's a conversation starter isn't it?, you might not know, but my talking tactics is working in my favor, it's keeping the beast from making good on his words.

I know I can't keep it from killing me, but I can at least keep it occupied till help arrives; it's the only way I know I can stay save from the beast.

"I kept him that way, I don't want him disturbing me on my mission to kill the destined one. The power I sensed from him is strong", sniffing the air like a dog, he gave me a puzzled look, "why don't I feel your powers?, I sensed his the moment I was released, but yours I didn't perceive. I thought him the chosen one until I saw the aura of power swirling round you", he grinned sadistically, his fangs in sight.

I shivered at the thoughts of dieing in his hands, I thought I will die in my helper's arms, with him cradling my head with love
