The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 28

"What do you mean you won't go in there? it's your room right?" asked Selina. "Ed, why did you do it?" asked Ivan. "What do you mean?" asked Edward.

"The scholarship, I know it was you, tell me why?" asked Ivan.

"I don't understand.. why, why are you.." continues Edward as Afreen peeps onto the room that just opened and becomes shocked by seeing something within there until it eventually gets shut from within.

"Guys, there is something in there." said Afreen which doesn't seem to grab everyone's attention as Ivan continues his argument with Edward.

"Guys! there is something in here!" yelled Afreen to which everyone turns towards her, including Edward who's face turns frowned. "I don't know, whatever it is, it's not human." said Afreen. "What?" asked Ivan.

"You shouldn't have seen that, none of you should be here, leave!" yelled Edward as he falls down with something aching him from within his body just as the house starts to shake almost like a earthquake.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Selina. "I said Leave!" yelled Edward as his face turns disgustingly into the form of his sister and uncle combined which almost makes Selina vomit.

"Edward, what's wrong with your face man, did you just look like?" asked Ivan which the shakes continue violently as Edward transforms himself into his uncle slowly, just as Afreen gets snatched by the mysterious abomination lurking within his room.

"Afreen!" screamed Selina as she rushes to save her, but the door gets on her face, then suddenly the house goes pitch black within a second. "I... I can't see anything, I can't see anything help!" screams Selina.

"Neither can I? what the hell is going on here man?" screams back Ivan as Edward jumps on him, now transformed into Emily with a creepy smile which becomes visible when Selina turns on her flashlight.

"You wanted me? let me show you more!" yelled Emily to which Selina starts crying and drops her phone accidentally as she is pulled into the walls almost like a piece of flesh is dragging her into it.

All while this happens from the inside, Irene is peacefully listening to music from Tim's laptop, having no idea what is happening inside there.

"This music is actually good, I can't believe it." said Irene as she enjoys the sounds of music while on the inside, the fate of everyone else remains black.

Meanwhile, back at the Asylum, where Sharon wakes up with a huge whoop. She looks around to see still in the shower room, with no one around her anymore, until a mysterious figure emerges from behind her which she doesn't notice.

"Hello? Maher? you in here? Hello?" asked Sharon. "Hello Shar." said the mysterious figure to which Sharon immediately turns and becomes horrified by its appearance. "You! you're not dead." said Sharon. "Not him.. Me." said the mysterious figure as it transforms back into the human form of Fatima, exactly as she last saw her all those years ago.

"I... no, this is some trick." said Sharon. "No, Shar, it's me." said Fatima. "I don't believe you, it can't be you, I watched you die!" cried Sharon as Fatima approaches her. "Remember that Sunday, the shortcut we took to reach the park, then we got lost.." said Fatima as Sharon continues.

"You cried, thought we were gonna die." said Sharon. "But we didn't, did we? because we were together, as we were always meant to be." finishes Fatima to which Sharon confirms it is her and hugs her at a instant.

"How?" asked Sharon.

"I didn't die that day Shar, they transported me to someplace, they.. experimented on me, changed me into this." said Fatima as she takes a step back and reveals her true appearance.

"My god.." said Sharon. "At first I didn't remember anything, all I knew was the first few words you spoke to me at last, Follow me back to life Fatima." said Fatima to which Sharon cries. "You were listening then." said Sharon.

"I was drugged to stay asleep but yes, I always heard you." said Fatima. "I've missed you, I've missed you so much." said Sharon. "Me too Shae, but there is something you must know." said Fatima.

"What?" asked Sharon. "I am trapped somewhere, I am here, with you, but not in real, only through reflection." said Fatima. "How did you get trapped?" asked Sharon.

"I was tricked by a demon, who lured me here with a help of very few people who would approach you as well." said Fatima.

"Who is it? what demon do you mean?" asked Sharon as the place where they are in starts to fall apart as pieces of it fades away to white.

"I do not have much time, but listen, these people, do not trust them, they locked me in here, soon they will trap you too." said Fatima.

"Fathi, you're not making sense." said Sharon. "You must help free Shae, it has to be you, I have no one else, please." said Fatima as the entire scene completely fades away, and slowly Sharon wakes up, only to find herself in a white room, surrounded by guards while Maher, now dressed in a suit similar to them in front.

"Maher?" asked Sharon as her first words since she woke up.

"Hello Sharon, good to see you awake again, and allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Dr Sayeed Hussain, welcome to Creed." said Maher to which Sharon's face turns suspicious.

Meanwhile, Selina wakes up, to find herself locked away in a basement cell which reeks of a disgusting smell. "What? Where.. where am I? Ivan? Ivan!" screamed Selina to which no response comes.

After looking around, Selina decides to look around to break herself free, as she slams onto the door several times, a yelling could be heard at a distance. "Hello? anyone there?" asked Selina. "Stop...SL..hmm..ING." said the voice further away. "What?" asked Selina to which no response comes at first, but suddenly the door starts opening as Selina steps back, and from within, Edward emerges angrily.

"Stop slamming!" yelled Edward. "Listen, Edward.. I need to go home now, I really need to go, if you could just let me." said Selina as she rushes to escape towards the open door, but gets prevented by Edward. "You can't go, mommy doesn't want you to now." said Edward with a grin.

"Could I talk to your mom then? please, I really don't want to stay here anymore." cried Selina to which Edward nods slowly, then transforms within a instant to the form of his mother.

"Hello there sweety, you wanted to talk to me?" asked Mommy. "I.. need to go, please let me go." said Selina. "I am afraid I can't honey, you see, if I let you, or your pretty little friend, I would land up in trouble, see what I mean." said Mommy.

"No, no, no, you won't, I promise, I won't say a word about what's happening in here, I just wanna leave, with my friends." said Selina. "Your friends are enjoying themselves, why would they want to leave?" asked Mommy. "What do you mean?" asked Selina.

"The pretty girl just touched my heart, literally, and as for Ivan, he's playing, quite roughly if you ask me." said Mommy. "What the hell is going on here? who are you? what is this place?" cried Selina.

"Well.. how do I put this? ah, imagine if a lovely blessed family, who can't seem to get they're blessed, gets a surprise visitor when they behave a little naughty, that's me, I make sure, everyone in the family behave." said Mommy.

"You're not their mommy." said Selina.

"Of course I'm not, but those kids sure need one, which is why I'm here." said Mommy. "Why us then? why not let us leave?" asked Selina. "I told you to, but you didn't listen, now I can't.. you have to stay here, for as long as I need." said Mommy when suddenly the doorbell rings.

"Ah, another visitor, I'll be back." said Mommy as she sprints away within a second at the door, leaving the cell door open. As Mommy opens, two police officers with Irene greet Mommy and smiles.

"Hello ma'am, we're here for the break-in robbers, are they in there?" asked the police officer. "I have no idea what you're talking about, officer." said Mommy.

"Well.. we received a call from this young lady that you had a break-in by her friends." said the police officer. "I don't think so, good day." said Mommy as she almost goes to shut the door but the officer stops it.

"Listen ma'am, if it's alright, we could do a little sweep in, just to be on the safe side " said the police officer.

"I told you, No!" yelled Mommy as she shuts the door, breaking the fingers of the police officer who kept it to prevent her from closing.

"Annoyance!" yelled Mommy as she sprints back into the basement to find Selina had escaped since she left the door open. "Looks like the rat just got away, time to play cat then." said Mommy as she transforms partially into a cat and starts snooping around the house.

"I know you're there, rat! come back." said Mommy as Selina who had ran all the way to upstairs and tries to break open the door before Mommy arrives.

"Do not make me angry girl! I'm not always am." screamed Mommy as Selina tries her best to open, but it remains shut. Taking a nearby spanner she found, she starts slamming down the door knob continuslly which creates enough noise for Mommy to catch onto her.

Just when she emerges right in front of her, sounds of the windows being shattered and breaking in was heard to which she rushes away immediately where she finds the two police officers pointing their g*n at her.

"Stay right where you are ma'am, where are the kids?" asked the police officer.

"Which kid, do you mean me?" asked Mommy as she transforms into the form of Edward and spits out pool of glue spit from which Mommy awakens, but in her youth.
