The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 54

"You tried your way, now let me do mine." said Sharon from within. "But.." said Fatima before getting interrupted by Sharon.

"Now! before he kills us!" yelled Sharon to which Fatima relinquishes control of the body and returns back to Sharon as she surrenders herself immediately before Khayun executes her. "Wait, I surrender, alright?" asked Sharon as Khayun almost goes to execute.

"What?" asked Khayun as he pauses. "I said, I surrender, well... we surrender, we're not here to fight." said Sharon. "Nice try, think I'd fall for that." said Khayun as he almost goes to engage her. "Your father sent me!" yelled Sharon.

"What?" asked Khayun as he stops again.

"Your dad, Olc'lk or something his name, look, I can explain everything if we just come on good terms, I'm sorry about Fatima, she doesn't.." said Sharon before getting interrupted by Khayun.

"Wait, wait, wait, I remember you, you.. you're that cop, the one that saw me." said Khayun. "Yeah, gosh, you remember, wow, yes, I am, Detective Sharon, now, about your dad." said Sharon. "Olc'ik isn't my dad." said Khayun. "What?" asked Sharon. "Who told you that he is?" asked Khayun. "He said it himself! I swear." said Sharon. "Why would Olc'ik talk to you?" asked Khayun. "I.. uhmm.. I don't know, he sort of.. broke me out of prison, told me to take you down, in return he'll help me, help us to be exact." said Sharon to which Khayun sighs. "Help? last time he helped me, I got kicked out of my own home." said Khayun.

"Oh Kay... look, why don't you put the g*n, or whatever that is, down, and we can talk, okay? I'll explain everything on my side, then you can decide or not?" asked Sharon. "If you wanted to talk, why didn't you do that? why come after me?" asked Khayun. "It was Fatima's idea, she said you can't be talked with, infact, she still keeps repeating that, it's a long story." said Sharon. "Who is this Fatima?" asked Khayun. "It's her, Follome, or Fatima, they're both the same, I know this is gonna sound insane but.... wait, what are you doing?" asked Sharon as Khayun lets down his guard.

"Letting my guard down, try anything funny, I will know." said Khayun. "Okay, got it, so we cool now?" asked Sharon to which Khayun turns away and starts walking. "Hey, wait, where are you going?" asked Sharon. "To find Olc'ik, I want to confront him myself, to know what type of sick plan he had for me." said Khayun. "Well.. aren't you going to hear my part?" asked Sharon as she took starts following Khayun.

"It isn't necessary, at first I was worried you were going to out my identity, but seeing as you became one like me, it would mean outing your own, which would never happen." said Khayun. "Became one like you? wait, the kid, you possessed the kid, didn't you? you were inside him." said Sharon.

"It was a long time ago, he's dead, now I'm left with living his life, wait, why am I saying this to you? last time I spoke with your little friend, she took control of my own body." said Khayun. "Yeah, sorry, but it was for your own good, which got a little misdirected." said Sharon.

"Took over my body for my own good? that doesn't even make sense." said Khayun. "The truth rarely does, look, Fatima, a while ago, wanted to help you, at first, she was looking into you, not in a weird type of way, but... hey! wait up just listen to me!" yelled Sharon as she rushes in front of Khayun who gets enraged. "Piss off! I had enough troubles as it is." said Khayun before getting interrupted by Sharon.

"I know! okay! I know you're in some deep s**t, but guess what? so am I, (sighs) look, I don't know what Tim meant to you, whether he was your friend, or you were just using him, it's none of my business, but.. I saved him, okay? I saved him, and by doing that, I saved you as well." said Sharon.

"Letting him die would have earned my freedom that day." said Khayun. "But you wouldn't be here, would you? no, if I had done that, you would be the exact ghost whatever thing you were, destined to die by Fatima's hands, and it was because of me that you live right now, into this.. specimen of a monster, and in that way.." said Sharon before getting interrupted by Khayun. "Just get to the point." said Khayun. "Fine, you owe me, you owe me for the life you have now, you owe me for everything you are right now." said Sharon. "Valid point, I suppose I owe you a thanks." said Khayun.

"I don't need your thanks, I need your help, it's time to return the favour." said Sharon. "I already did, you're living and breathing, even though you were minutes away from trying to kill me." said Khayun. "That isn't enough! look, just.. all I am asking is, stop, and listen to what I say, then you can decide or not on whether you want to help me, it's your choice, I won't force you." said Sharon. "Fine, make it quick." said Khayun. "Right, back to the part where we left, yes, when she was viewing inside you, she noticed a wraith within, forcing you into this endless rage, which she tried to get it out, but it ended onto her, which used her into giving your body's control into herself." said Sharon. "And you know this how?" asked Khayun.

"I felt it, okay? I always did, there was something wrong with her, from the moment she got into me, this whole drama with taking you down, which doesn't make sense, because it is you, who should be ought for revenge for taking over your body, and.. Olc'ik briefed me on the wraith parts, which put all the dots together." said Sharon.

"And.. why should this involve me?" asked Khayun. "Because that wraith, the very thing that came from you, is now onto her, and it's destroying her from within, if you help me cleanse it, I'll help you in anyway I can, I'll even help you defeat Olc'ik, if that's what you want." said Sharon. "Suddenly you're switching sides? don't you? Owe Olc'ik like I owed you?" asked Khayun.

"Well.. in a way, but given from things, I think he sent me to die here, fighting you." said Sharon. "That's just plain stupid to even think about, why would he free you, then sent you ought to kill me, knowing that I'll end you once and for all." said Khayun. "I've been having doubts about that, but.. wait, the wraith, that's it, he wants you back in the wraith's control, if you killed me, the wraith would have bounced back into you, turning you back into a mindless monster again." said Sharon. "And then what? come and kill me? he could have just done that first." said Khayun.

"Okay maybe.. I don't know, the point is, whatever he planned, it didn't work, and I.. was sent here to die, which I didn't thanks to you, now if you help me, I'll help you, we both will, trust me, you could use us." said Sharon. "What's your name again?" asked Khayun. "Sharon Warrington, why would you ask that again?" asked Sharon.

"Sharon, you've lost your life thanks to this Jinn right? why would you risk it to save one?" asked Khayun. "I lost my life, yes, but it wasn't because of Fatima, it was.. a long story, it's complicated, but... Fatima, she saved me, I was about to die, and she saved me, and before that, she was my best friend, she meant the world to me before, and she still does now, no matter what she is." said Sharon.

"And, will you risk your life, if it means freeing her?" asked Khayun. "Yes, I.. would, a thousand times." said Sharon. "Hmm.. fine, let's get this over with." said Khayun. "Wait, does it mean you'll help me?" asked Sharon. "Yeah, don't get too cocky, meet me at dawn, out to this address." said Khayun as he hands in over Dr Sayeed's visiting card. "Tell him I sent you." said Khayun while Sharon recognizes the name reflecting back on her memories of Sayeed earlier.

"No." said Sharon.

"No, what now?" asked Khayun.

"This doctor, he works for Creed." said Sharon. "Yeah, well so do I." said Khayun. "You don't understand, if I come into contact with Creed, they'll put me in a cell again, and this guy, he's the one who put me there, once he confirmed I was unwilling to cooperate, no way I'm going to him or to Creed." said Sharon.

"The Creed locked Fatima or Follome, because they thought she was a danger to me, they didn't realize you were getting caught in middle." said Khayun. "No, this was before I came into contact with Fatima, before she came into me." said Sharon.

"Before that? why would they lock you then?" asked Khayun. "Because, I lost my mind, trying to chase after a ghost, whom everyone thought was me, and had me locked up." said Sharon. "I'm assuming this ghost you speak of was the threat Fatima saved you from.." said Khayun before getting interrupted by Sharon.

"No Creed involvement okay? this is between you and me, trust me, you're gonna need a friend on the outside once those guys turn on you, same as they turned on me." said Sharon. "We'll see about that, but.. I think I might have another idea, come with me then." said Khayun.

"Not unless you say where." said Sharon.

"Relax, this is nothing to do with Creed, it's a friend, a rather special one whom might be able to help you, only problem is, she doesn't know she is one." said Khayun.

"What?" asked Sharon.
