Home Coming

James and Jenny woke up early because of the strange sound they heard from afar, they could feel some thing so strange around but they can't see anything beyond the walls and curtains in their room. They made up their minds to leave as soon as they get the girl they saw the previous evening, Lucy. James and Jenny must have been trapped by the powers of Lucy, power that can draw attentions and power that an fix attention and concentration on someone. She has used this power many times to lure people to destinations of her choice before sending out creepy things and inflicting horrible pains on them, for those who manage to survive, they end up at the psychiatric because their mental state never returns the same. Although, only 4 out of 800 thousand have managed to survive it.

As early as 5 am, Lucy positioned herself around the entrance of Zyana's office so that James and Jenny could see her, she pretended to be looking for Zyana when James walked out of the door and saw her. He quickly grabbed her and called Jenny who out of excitement hugged the little Lucy. They took her to Zyana who seem startled because she has never seen the face before neither does she have a record of her. Zyana felt a strange presence like the presence she felt yesterday night during the meeting, but she brushed it off thinking that its probably her body that was reacting, she signed her off to her guardians and they planned to leave before noon.

Lucy went into her room ro pack her things, she packed her rings, her candles, doll, chalets and scrolls, she was quite curious why this assignment seems important to her master, but she didn't bother much because after all, she finds joy in pain of others. " El sal kele pratros, sayi akalet mana adua" the voice echoed in her ear and she understood the language of her tribe, "this must be my master" she nodded. The voice gave her directions of how to terminate the five children, told her what they love and how to get to their hearts. One of the instructions was to ensure that two of the children joins the cabals, she must initiate them and they must form allegiance with her. The endgame was for her to wipe off their existence including people that know of their existence.

When the noon was finally come, James,Jenny and Lucy headed out to their home, Jenny sensed that Lucy was cold, quiet and calm but she probably felt that she was just a little girl and needs time to adjust to her new home, after all, they love watching kids grow. They got close to the site where they initially hit someone and they saw they blood which they did not see earlier on, they are probably hallucinating or something is really creepy around here. Jenny caught a glimpse of a tree that seems to be bleeding and a grave yard behind it, it felt like there were restless souls lurking around the vicinity but all of a sudden, Lucy started laughing. James thought within himself, " why would she be laughing at such a scary sight, does she know the dangers?'', then Lucy turned to him and said " I know the danger and there is Joy in pain". James was shocked and probably thought that he echoed his feelings while shivering.

Lucy told them to drive faster, that she was scared of the stories about the things that lurk around the axis, they speed off and got to the road in no time. In 90 minutes, they got to their destination, and Lucy was welcomed home by the five sons of J's family. She entered her room, unpacked and came out to join others outside.

While the whole family was at the dining, they asked Lucy to ask questions or tell them anything about her, and she looked down for a bit before asking a surprising question " WHAT IF LUCI... LUCIFER WAS A GIRL"....
