The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 10

"Maybe not fighting, there are other ways to help." said Tim. "The minute we tell anyone else about this, we would kill ourselves by our own hands, do you understand how messed up that sounds?" said Mark.

"Mark, I just..." said Tim before getting interrupted by Mark. "I understand you Tim, I really do, you wanna help these people, so do I, but we can't anything about it, we can die trying, that's all." said Mark. "But Mark, come on.." said Tim before getting interrupted by Mark. "Stay home and get some rest, you are not to speak or go anywhere near that place, do you understand?" asked Mark.

"Alright, fine, I won't." said Tim. "Sunday, by the ridge, don't forget." said Mark as he pats on his shoulder and begins to leave. Despite being worried for the state the students in the dojo are struck upon, Tim finds it helpless to do something about it. With a worried state of not being able to help them, Tim is distracted thinking about while walking all the way to his home.

As he walks, slowly, things begin to take a strange turn of events, the lights start turning off and on, wind blows at a speedy rate, taking his cap with it. "Hey! shit." said Tim as he attempts to catch the cap by running towards it.

The cap gets knocked into a signboard and hands up in a rod above, unable to be pulled by the wind. "Oh! come on, man!" yells Tim. Pounding his fist on the wall, he becomes even frustrated and begins to walk but stops when a familiar scent suddenly caught his attention.

"Wait.. that smell.." said Tim to which he turns to find Khayun, now nothing more than a moving dark cloud after his powers and body is taken control by Follome.

"You? wait, you!" said Tim recongizing it's familiar nature to when he first encountered it. Khayun senses upon the only living host nearby to be Tim and just as he moves aimlessly, the cap gets dragged with it, and as Tim slowly takes steps away and attempts to flee, Khayun starts following Tim which turns into a chase as Tim starts running for his life.

Tim sprints like he never did in his life before, moving at a rapid rate without even looking back. "Stop! wait!" yells Khayun in human language this time, but in his creepy tone. "Nope, no thank you!" yells Tim while running away. Khayun suddenly begins to move even more faster, gaining over Tim while Tim tries his best to flee.

Soon as only inches become their distances upon each other. A lorry from aside moves directly at where Tim is standing, Khayun races in, possessing into Tim while pushing him away from the Bus which nearly touches Tim, but doesn't hurt him. While the bus driver stops in shock, Tim is thrown away in front as he rolls over few times while attempting to gain balance.

"What the hell was that?" asked the bus driver in shock to which he soon gets down and begins checking to see if he knocked over someone, but becomes breath taken when he sees the very person he almost killed in front is nowhere to be found except several things in Tim's bag which is partially ripped out due to Khayun.

"what the b****y heck man." said the bus driver as he goes through the some things dropped from the bag, he continues to look all over to find anyone, then from nowhere Tim suddenly appears in front of him, scarring him to death as he screams. "Hey, it's just me." said Tim in a awkward tone.

The Bus driver returns back to his position and observes Tim, both his skin and his clothes look like he bathed himself in ashes, unlike Khayun's previous hosts, only partial parts of his skin is pale ash. "That's.. that's my stuff, sorry about that." said Tim as he rips away the stuffs from the bus driver's hands. "How.. did.. how.. " said the bus driver before getting interrupted by Tim.

"I ran over your bus, then.. well.. moved forward when it came close." said Tim. "But..there was this thing, it.. pushed you or something." said the bus driver. "Uhmm.. no, I have no idea what you're talking about." said Tim. "Right, whatever, I need a drink." said the bus driver as he continues to get back in the empty bus.

"Bye... thank you.. I guess?" said Tim as the bus rode away from Tim while he stands aside. "Phew.. that.. was close." said Tim. "Close? you nearly died you i***t!" yelled Khayun from within his mind to which he freaks out. Tim looks around to see where is the voice coming from, but unable to spot it directly since it is coming from his head.

"I'm not around you i***t, I'm inside your head." said Khayun to which Tim freaks out and screams this time. Tim soon recollects himself as to what happened and realizes the smoke didn't get push him, it went inside him. "Oh s**t! oh my.. you... you're inside me, aren't you?" asked Tim. "Yes.. yes I am, wanna check it out?" said Khayun as he controls Tim's hand and waves at him.

"Stop it!" yells Tim as he stops it with his other hand. "Listen.. kid, this isn't my first time.. going into people, usually they lose control, but due to some.. unforseen circumstances, we're both in control of your body, with you the latter." said Khayun.

"Who.. who the hell are you? what do you want?" asked Tim. "I want my body back! well.. my previous host actually, but my powers are gone as well.. all thanks to that b***h!" said Khayun. "This.. this is.." said Tim before getting interrupted by Khayun. "Awkward, I know, wait, how do you understand me? I speak in Jinni, not English." said Khayun. "Sounds pretty English to me, so uhm... who are you again?" asked Tim.

"Urgh... fine, my name is Khayun, and I'm a Jinn, and for a short while, I'll be in charge of your body." said Khayun. "Nope, doesn't... doesn't appear to be, uhmm..(coughs) listen, I.. uhm.. I think you need to get out." said Tim. "Say what?" asked Khayun. "You.. need to.. uhh.. get out, from my body, you're not welcome here." said Tim. "I saved you from certain death, and this is how you repay me?" asked Khayun.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in certain death situation in the first place, so.." said Tim. "Urgh... kids, even if I wanted, I cannot do it." said Khayun. "Why not?" asked Tim. "Once I possess into a living being, I'm unable to release himself until they die." said Khayun. "But.. no, no, no, I saw you do it, yep, saw you." said Tim.

"You saw me do what?" asked Khayun. "The uhmm... the thing, one minute you were this smokey thing, and then you went inside Brian." said Khayun. "Wait, Brian, I recognize that name.. it's what they called me, when I first arrived, you were there too?" asked Khayun. "So it was you, yeah! I knew it.. shit.. I've lost it, I've literally lost it." said Tim holding his head tight while being terrified.

"The host that I went into, was a dead person, there's nothing there so.. like a empty husk... wait.. are you.. are you crying?" asked Khayun to which Tim immediately starts wiping his tears. "No, no, no, who.. told you that?" asked Tim. "I'm inside you, you i***t, I can feel what you're feeling." said Khayun. "Okay, uhmm, so, now that you possessed me, are you going to use me kill my family and myself?" asked Tim. "What? why would I do that?" asked Khayun.

"Usual horror move plot, plus, isn't that what ghosts do?" asked Tim. "Fool! I'm telling you from the start, I'm not a ghost, I'm a Jinn, and do you realize how stupid you sound?" asked Khayun. "Yeah, I do, talking to a imaginary friend." said Tim. "I'm not a imaginary friend, I'm very real." said Khayun. "I know that, okay? usually in horror movies, they are started out as imaginary friend, then turn out to be real, terrifying demons." said Tim.

"If I was a terrifying demon, why would I waste my time playing imaginary friend on a kid like you? shouldn't I be.. I don't know, do you have kings in here?" asked Khayun. "We have a president?" said Tim. "What's that?" asked Khayun. "Leader of the country." said Tim. "Uh.. they changed the name, very well then, if I was a demon, and I rose to invoke hell, as most demons do, why won't I go for the president?" asked Khayun.

"You mean posses the president? uh.. that could be a incredible movie plot, but uhmm.. you need to invite ghost, I mean jinn, or demon, I guess, yes, you need to invite them onto the mortal plane, and.. I don't think the president would do something like that." said Tim. "Well.. did you invite me into a mortal plane?" asked Khayun. "Nope." said Tim. "Then how the hell am I in your body?" asked Khayun.

"Point noted, wait, you're.. you're one of the good ones are you?" asked Tim. "I do not understand." said Khayun. "Like a ghost, you know, that does not kill people, but save them." said Tim. "I've killed plenty of people since the moment I got here." said Khayun. "Okay, you're bad, got it, so uhmm, why haven't you.. killed me?" asked Tim.

"If I do, I will be killing myself, the only way for us to live is to cooperate, understand? it is only temporary, once I find that b****y witch who stabbed me in the back, I'll let you go, I promise." said Khayun.

"Ohh.. Kay, got it, so uhmm.. what now?" asked Tim. "Carry on with your duties, I'll speak if I need you again." said Khayun.
