Trapped

So the search for the 5 traitors and the members of the J's family intensified as more demons got involved, many figures took a hold of humans so as to use human eye and soul to search for them but the enchantment he 5 traitors used were too strong, the only way they can be seen is if they come out of hiding to restock their home, but James had enough to last them for a full month.

Lucy had fully recovered after days in sick bed; she rejoined the other 4 traitors as they planned on retrieving the last piece of the instrument for their freedom. They agreed to move out on the tenth night at night and run as far as they could away from the house so that James, Jenny and the last remaining son could be safe, they agreed on using hyssop to bath so that their scents cannot spread easily spread. They prepared their weapons of war in case they are detected on their way to the venue of the instrument, they set out enchantments that can protect the house while they were gone. The location of the last instrument is still unknown but they heard rumors that it was buried under a great tree beside the popular cemetery at St Theresa's Orphanage homes so they planned sneaking in and searching for it at night while other demons will be busy with meetings.

One thing Lucy and the other demons didn't realize is that a lot of changes has been going on since they betrayed the hood and ran away, for example 99 % of the children at the ST Mary's home are possessed, they became tool for the demons since Zyana left and ran with Lucy. The other changes that got implemented was stationary eyes all over the corner of the home to watch activities and observe movement. The demons were fully aware that the traitors might come lurking around but they were quite uncertain about when and time, so they took extra measures in order to apprehend them. The last measure they took was to enchant the road so that even if they flee from the orphanage home, they can still be trapped and captured since they have successfully remained hidden for a long time. Prior to the day they set out for St Mary's Orphanage, the demons had gotten information and were quite prepared for them, the master had given strict instruction to ensure that Lucy is taken out the instant they sight her and every other demons with her should be taken into custody because the master has a grand rite to perform on them, that grand rite will leave them suffering for eternity without recovery or any help from anyone, the master calls it the perfect- permanent punishment for everyone that is considered a traitor. The punishment would leave you in a state where you cannot leave your host body to posses another body, you will suffer till that body wearies and die, then you will return to purgatory and never see the fore walls of the earth again.

The five considered traitors of the clan namely; Lucy, Zyana, Demon of death, demon of lie and demon of seduction set out at night and crawled through the gates of the west, they knew the master would have planted the ground whispers so they avoided the ground to avoid been detected and followed back; Lucy took the first step but she noticed that something strange was in the atmosphere, she knew that the timidity of the atmosphere is different, she also knew that the rhythm she was hearing was quite slow and tactical as though someone was using that as a decoy to attract them in. She noticed that the trees opposite the small building in- between the west wing and the home has been pulled out, so its an open space with no place to take shield if something should go wrong in their mission. She beckoned on Zyana about her strange feeling and Zyana quickly took note of her concerns, Zyana has been matron of the home for a very long time that she could close her eyes and walk round the orphanage without hitting her legs or head, so she knew something was off too, she went back to the beginning of the vegetation and checked some holes she dug to scare people from entering the site and she discovered they have all been filled up, those hole were like graves so that people would think that someone just rose from it; Zyana thought it through and they all had the conversation amongst themselves without absolute certainty but they agreed to move on no matter the cost, after all the demon of lie could not detect anything fishy from the surrounding just normal demon activities at night.

They had crawled far into the area when Death sighted a bright light shining from the ground to the top, a strange light like twinkles but this time it has voices that are quite deceptive, the demon tried hiding but it was as though the light was everywhere, while they were still trying to find out what the light was, they saw a kid coming out of the orphanage home and was headed towards them but in split seconds the child changed direction as though someone remotely controlled his movement from within. The strange occurrences didn't make any meaning or sense to any of them but they were quite sure something was wrong based on their observations; ehile they were still contemplating on whether to retreat or move forward, a voice came from everywhere and echoed '' we can see you, and we can have you….. you have no place to run to, your soul is for the master!!!'' Then they realized that they have entered a much bigger trap than they imagined, they tried running but it was as though the clan was everywhere, they found themselves in the open field with no place to hide or take shield in case of attacks.
