Chapter 69

  ******* Please pardon my errors, mostly the errors I make while spelling, I will edit the book soon, thanks for reading this far, love y'all.

       "Did your boyfriend ever tell you how beautiful you are?" James asked, this isn't right, why is he asking such questions?He shouldn't be asking, but as usual I have to be a good and obedient girl, in order to get a good record. " Yes, everyday" I replied.

    Peter always tells me how beautiful I am. Everyday he makes me feel special, I blushed as I thought of the memories we created together, " you look beautiful when you smile," he said. I was drawn from wonderland, back to the present.

          I was flattered by his words, I cared less about his presence, if he trying to cheer me up, I don't need it, but I couldn't resist he held me firmly, our bodies touching each other, which was more weird,he was trying to pull me in, while I was pushing me self out in a polite manner, with a fake smile on my face.

        " Sir James!!`` What are you doing?" a woman shouted as she saw me dancing with James. James abruptly pushed me and I fell to the floor, " ouch!" I yel as I fell to the floor, " ma'am, sorry" James said, he was fidgeting she must be the boss

. Fear engulfed, I guess he's screwed, " she demanded to be danced with" he said as hd pointed a finger at me, what does he mean by i demanded, why will I want to dance with him?This is just crazy, I Knew it was a way to get off the hook.

     James immediately went back to his position, after bowing severally like he saw a king, the woman walked slowly to my cell. She didn't look happy, I took two steps backward, as fear crept into my soul, is she possessed?

      "If you think seducing him, will get you out it will be best for you and your family to get that dream out of your dumb head" she said as she left, I was left in a state of confusion and Speechlessness, this is just great, now I am being accused of seduction.

        I guess that's what the world sees me as, a person you can blame without thinking of retaliation, I sat on my bed, I guess I will be here for a long time, more than expected, I already have an enemy.

        "Reth, why don't we command them to do what we want" Athena said, as she caressed my already wet Cheek, it was a nice idea, but we can't command demons to do what we want, it only makes them more aggressive, just like what happened to my mom.

       And I don't know how to detect someone who is possessed except they start acting, and demons can pretend as well, it was their specialty. I would have never suspected that woman who woke me up in the middle of the road to be a demon, but she was.

     " Yes,you are right Reth, but now we have things to attend to like why we can't leave this cell" Kailani added, but I had no smart idea because my head is crowded with unnecessary thoughts. There was a loud knock on the cell gate. I guess it's time for lunch.

    " Here's your food" a man said as he passed me food from beneath the gate. Is this a prison?I don't like the food, it looks disgusting but my stomach hurts. I took the plastic spoon I was given and scooped a spoonful of beans into my mouth.

     It wasn't sweet, neither was it bitter, " why the plastic spoon?" I asked the man, he maintained a poker face, I was expecting James to give me my food, maybe he is not incharge of serving lunch, I won't want to see him, anyway.

        " So you won't start yourself with it" he replied, why would I want to stab myself with a spoon, I might be troubled but I won't think of taking my own life, I have things I haven't achieved, I guess they are referring to mentally ill people.

      I finished the food and my belly protested, there's no place like home indeed," here" I said as I passed the plates beneath the gate, then went back to my bed, " will be out by 6pm " he said as he left.

     Where would I be taken by six," Reth, when did you get a new ring" Athena asked as she stared at my hand, "I don't know either I saw it when I went for therapy, I don't know how it got there, I tried removing it but it still remained, I guess it's glued" I replied.

      The ring is really strange," I have seen it somewhere but I can't remember" Athena said, she held my hand in her hands, the swords on it looked like a celestial symbol she said, I felt a little bit relieved that it was related to the celestial realm.

     Not the demons, now we have another mystery we must solve, everyone and everything is a suspect. " Detective Reth, how do we solve our case?" Kailani said while saluting, I love the way she is optimistic, even when we are standing in a maze.

      "Yes detective Reth, we need to take this step by step, first we would figure out what the ring is for, then why we can't get out of this hell hole" Athena said, it's a nice plan, I guess I started wearing the ring when I came out of the revelation land, because that's the only time I left This cell without leaving this cell". I said as I rubbed my chin with my thumb.

    " Detective Reth strikes again!We would make a good team, so did you have any conversation leading to the ring? ``Athena said, " yes Reth, anything at all will do,since we have a leading clue, ``Kailani added.

    " Yes I do" I replied
