no.17

The old man's house small yet it managed to fit them all, it was cozy but you could feel that something is missing, it had electricity which was a shock since the city is running short on electricity generators and the maids offered to cook with the ingredients left in the house, good thing the geezee had some canned food to work with. The night was very long that's how it felt as they played board games with tge geezer while the two battlers slept. The three maids were very happy as this is the taste of freedom since becoming maids in that underground Hq. One of three maids went outside and stoid on the balcony and started to cry while staring at the distance,the other two maids noticed but decided to leave her alone. The geezer gave the doctor a friendly glare and they both left like they were going to do something in the other room leaving the maids to their business and they all cried simultaneously, reminiscing about their older maid Alferina.

One of the maids "Ladies I know we are greiving but we have no time for that, right now we have two unconscious people, one elderly and one child who witnessed everything, so we have to stand up and live past the expectations Ms Alferina left us."

The maids eventually stopped crying after that speech and soon went off to clean the house for the geezer as a thank you for letting them stay, they went upstairs ready with hot water, towels and other essentials to speed up the recovery of the two battlers. One of the maids came up with a suggestion to go and find a doctor nearby which she knew and that's when they realized that they already have a doctor in the house. The doctor was called upon hand he had cake icing on his face and the geezer was smiling so much you could see him getting younger, then followed to offer them slices of the surprise cake.

"Thank you very much but it's our job to serve you not the other way around, so please sir just take a rest." The geezer felt very cared for at that moment

"Child doctor could you please help with these two unconscious people?"

"Hara Hara Hara." The doctor said some kind spell which actually helped heal some of their injuries within an instant but they were still unconscious"I can't wake them up, but they'll soon wake up so don't worry."

The people in the house were very shocked that he's truly a doctor and a skilled one infact, but the geezer was not surprised at all he only had a boastful smile on his face like he already knew. People went downstairs and continued to play their games and talked all night long, some time later they felt it was time to sleep but the time was far off so we're the other clocks in the house including personal wrist watches, the time was only 20:16pm. They continued until the geezer showed them his memory books from his young age up until the last day of their normal lives without demonic creatures roaming around. As the pages flipped you could see the sadness increase in the geezer's face and his tone changed with the pages until one of the maids took the book away gently so then comforting the geezer. The doctor was on the ground on his fours like a small child not knowing what's happening and this brought joy to the geezer.

"My children…I think it's time for I sleep..I love you all and good…night." He dozed off with a smile on his ok'd people's chair and blanket.

" Good night to you too grandfather." The all said together. None of them bother to look at the clock accept for the doctor who accidentally saw it, it was very clear that 2 hours had passed but on the clock only 10 minutes had passed 20:26pm.

"Prince Berryi… sees what's going on and I say I'll kill you for this…." Why do I keep saying things like this he wondered all alone as the maids went to sleep, then he went to bed and slept.

The doctor's dream

"Moooom! Wait for me, I'm coaching up. A kid was running behind his mom as she left then soon they entered the house but this time the mother stopped the kid from entering. On the front window another kid looked in despair at the outside kid.

Then the dream shifts to were the inside kid is crying while the house is burning and right besides the kid is the other kid looking all burned then the flames engulfed the whole dream, waking up the doctor

Dream done.

It's morning and the doctor finds the maids all ready to leave while the house is is spotless all they have to do is go and say goodbye to the geezer. They waited for a few minutes then two hours later the doctor said.

"He's no longer with us." as he was holding his wrist to feel any signs of life. The maids fell to the ground while the doctor shed countable tears with a grin 

"Die! die !die! die! just ddie¡¡¡"" These were the voices inside the doctor's head he didn't know.

The maids gently carried the old man to the grave they dug and buried him behind in the backyard were he had buried his cat.

"Rest in peace our beloved Grandfather" they all said.

They walked out of the yard after locking everything up including the gate then they followed by throwing the key to everything inside the yard near the door, they made sure everything was clean before leaving.

They walked while carrying the other two and non of them looked playful or childish including the doctor, they were all dead serious on the way,no talk and no nonsense.

"We are the Death Row." They all shared the same thought.
