The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 55

Soon, after making their amendments, Khayun and Sharon head out through the shadows sneakingly from one place to another without catching the eyes of human until they reach the very person Khayun refered to, revealing to be Afreen as they stand by her house entrance within the shadows.

"She's there?" asked Sharon.

"Yes, come on.." said Khayun as he almost goes to bash in but it's prevented by Sharon. "Wait!" yelled Sharon. "What?" asked Khayun. "You said she didn't remember anything right?" asked Sharon. "Yes, a willing sacrifice she was ready to make." said Khayun.

"Then what the hell are you gonna say to her? she won't even remember you at first, she'll freak out if she sees you like this." said Sharon. "I know I was planning to go like this." said Khayun as he shapeshifts into the form of Timothy Blake. "And how are you gonna explain how you found her? will she even remember arriving here with Tim?" asked Sharon. "I don't know, and I don't care, look, do you want my help or not?" asked Khayun.

"Sadly, I do." said Sharon. "Then shut up, and follow me, no questions asked, I've got this." said Khayun as he blends away through the gate and proceeds through. "Okay, fine, let's see how you handle this genius." said Sharon as she follows him. Soon, while they sneak around the house, they spot away Afreen, having seated in the bench on the balcony while feeling isolated due to current events.

"What am I doing here?" asked Afreen within herself as she looks through her gallery of photos took with her friends back in Brampton when suddenly a vase breaks down from below, drawing her attention to which she turns and looks towards as she gets up. "Hello? Nashat? is that you?" asked Afreen to which no response comes as does she doesn't spot anything since both Khayun and Sharon are hidden within the shadows.

"Whatever, a cat maybe." said Afreen who then turns back to her phone while Khayun starts climbing towards the balcony from behind her, and approaches her as Timothy Blake while Afreen finds herself distracted by watching the nightsky. "Beautiful, isn't it?" asked Khayun in the tone of Tim to which Afreen turns in shock and shudders. "Tim! what the!" yelled Afreen loudly, until she closes her own mouth to prevent noise.

"Sorry, didn't mean to spook you." said Khayun. "What the hell are you doing there?" whispered Afreen. "I uhm.... I came by to see you, and.. I need to tell you something important." said Khayun.

"Nope, no way, this.. this is a dream, no, I won't take it in, there is no way that..." said Afreen when Khayun rushes towards her and holds her hand, citing his appearance to be real as Afreen feels his physical form. "Does this look like a dream to you?" asked Khayun.

"Holy.. s**t, you're really here, you're.. wait how did you even find this place?" asked Afreen. "It's a long story, alright? listen the point is, I came here to tell you something important first, something you need to know, should have known a long time ago...(Afreen gulps)... wait, why are you gulping?" asked Khayun. "I didn't." said Afreen.

"You did." said Khayun. "I didn't, okay, maybe I did, dry throat, just continue." said Afreen who stands with utter shock about what he's about to say, considering there could be only one answer.

"There is something special about you Afreen, I've always known, and yet I do feel it, even now, this.. it's nothing more than power, the ability to control and manipulate things through spiritualism come at a great cost." said Khayun before getting interrupted by Afreen. "Wait, what?" asked Afreen. "You're.. a Jinn, there.. I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time.." said Khayun. "I am a what?" asked Afreen to which Khayun sighs.

"Okay, now.. hold one a minute right, I'm gonna show you something." said Khayun. "Okay.. what exactly... (Khayun pushes her off the balcony at a instant) s**t!" yelled Afreen as she falls down to her death at a instant when Khayun rushes out to catch her and land at her feet. Due to his shock, Afreen's suppressed power kicks back in as her emotions of fright comes out, burning her hands and eyes in invisible flame as she becomes scared over the new found changes as well as due to the fall.

"What the hell is going on? what is this?" cried Afreen looking at her hands burning. "I told you before, it's power, this very power lives inside you, it always has been, just locked, that's all, but when sudden emotions, powerful ones kick out, it comes along with you, just like now." said Khayun. "How.. how do I make it go away?" asked Afreen.

"That's.. well, plain to say is that, you can't, the longer you try to suppress it, the more violent it'll kick back with the same sense of power, the only way forward is to harness that power." said Khayun. "But.. I.. don't want this.. I don't wanna harness it." said Afreen.

"This isn't a choice, you must, if you don't, someone will do it for you, and trust me when I say, it's gonna be either a demon or something worse." said Khayun. "Just, when my vacation couldn't get strange enough, but.. how am I a Jinn? that doesn't even make sense, I've never had these kinds of episode before." said Afreen.

"That's because power had been suppressed to hold within well enough, by someone really talented, but the point is, all of us, could be manipulated to break that very power, such as you, yourself, at least that's what happened earlier until you harnessed it for your own, just like you should do it now." said Khayun.

"The voice, I remember, it was you, wasn't it, you're.. you're not Timothy." said Afreen to which Khayun steps away a little, then returns back to his Jinn form, revealing his true appearance. "You're.. what are you?" asked Afreen. "I'm a Jinn, Afreen, so are you, I know it's hard leading a double life, since you want nothing more than to have what others have, but you can't do it, unless you control your power instead of suppressing it, there is no other way." said Khayun.

"And.. if I did, what would happen to me?" asked Afreen. "A great sense of.. well, sensibility maybe, it's difficult to put in words, but once you do, you'll feel reborn, it's gonna make you feel great, trust me." said Khayun as he once again holds her hand and allows his own power to channel through Afreen which she feels. "Do you feel it, that sense of control? that is what I want for you, don't deny your true nature, accept it, embrace it, if you did that, you'll be reborn as a shining new person." said Khayun as he lets go off her hand as the channelling ends.

Soon, Afreen starts embracing in her power, drawing through her own fond of energies herself whilst Sharon watches it from the shadows until Khayun looks towards her. "Come on, quick!" yelled Khayun to which Sharon to which she arrives as Afreen launches in a great deal of power through herself, losing her from within as Afreen lands her hand within Sharon's face and channels in her power as well as his own which flows through her.

"Now.. for the best part." said Khayun as he enrages in his dark green eyes, immediately possessing within Sharon's mind where he lands onto a place of memory within Sharon and Fatima together.

As he gets up, he feels the tremendous amount of power channeling within himself after having the power of two powerful jinn which flows through his veins, glowing within his power which lights the dark terrible place he is trapped into.

"I know you're here bastard! why don't you come face me, demon to demon? or should I have to crept you out of the fire like I did before?" asked Khayun as a burst of red flame appears behind him to which he turns as a wraith demon emerges in front of him.

"You remember me Khayun? I'm flattered." said the demon revealing his appearance to be exact demon who Khayun absorbed when he first came to Earth. "Thought you were dead, so it was you pulling the strings within her head huh?" asked Khayun.

"Even a dumb bastard could have figured that out, you i***t, I was supposed to make my arrival, haunting a generation of humans until all their life force is mine! then from some sewer you emerged, arrived where you shouldn't have did, and surprised me to the point where I was almost defeated." said the demon.

"So, instead of beating me from the outside, you had me turning into a raged monster so that everyone will turn on me? including myself." said Khayun.

"Precisely, everything was going according to plan when that b***h sensed my presence and start digging in, I was gonna kill her and take her own body to damm your soul! but then I thought, why not do it to you? with a little sense of betrayal, after all, aren't you more of a drama queen?" asked the demon.

"Listen you piece of s**t! I'm no drama queen, I've killed a dozen beings before you had even been born." said Khayun.

"Then what happened now? what happened to the once ferocious Khayun, now stands aside humans, helping them eradicate their own monsters when he should be killing everyone he comes across?" asked the demon.

"Simple, where's the fun in that? I may have let down my violent path, not because I've gone soft over the years, it's because I seek not to draw attention, and to fight pathetic beings like you from drawing in power from the weak, because let me tell you this, it's better to be a hunter to a demon rather than being one yourself, quite a lot of b****y fun in that." said Khayun
