The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 36

Meanwhile, back in Brampton as a new day shines, Tim feels refreshed to wake up in his room again, but his loss over his mother still clouds his judgement on the decision he's about to make which will change his life as well as Khayun forever who remains null without speaking at all to him.

Just when he wakes, he gets a sudden call from Jessica to which he sighs and answers. "Hello Jess." said Tim. "Good morning Mr. Tim, sorry to wake you up, but I'm afraid the request you asked for has to wait." said Jessica through the phone.

"Why? what happened?" asked Tim.

"An inmate broke out of cells, left a lot of mess that'll take about few days to clear." said Jessica. "I can't wait a few days longer with a monster inside my body." said Tim. "Monster? did something happen between you too?" asked Jessica. "Nothing.. it's just, try to get it ready as soon as possible, without doing that, I'm not going to Ceylan." said Tim.

"Alright, I'll inform you once we're ready, but.. are you sure you wanna do this? I told you before, there's a risk one of you might die." said Jessica. "Believe me, I rather die than let a Jinn take control of my life, call me when it's done." said Tim as he hangs up and remains in idle. "Aren't you going to say something?" asked Tim to Khayun.

"I've already said what needed to be told, I'm not a human to whine to you." said Khayun. "Guess you hated me whining to my mother then, right before leaving." said Tim.

"For the thousandth time Tim, I didn't kill your mother, you did!" yelled Khayun. "Me? you were the one who forced me to stay when she left." said Tim. "Yes! that was because your life, as well as the lives of people around you were in danger, that follome would have taken down the airplane just to end you and me." said Khayun.

"Not me! you, she wants to kill you, and that was your problem!" yelled Tim. "Not mine, ours you fool! if I die, you die with me!" yelled Khayun. "Which is exactly why you wanted me to live, otherwise, you would have just killed me and take control of my body just like you did before!" yelled Tim.

"Believe me! I wish I had." said Khayun.

"Yeah, and I would have joined with my family again, instead of being a pawn to some c***k headed i***t who doesn't know what to do with his life!" yelled Tim to which Khayun takes control of his body in half while Tim tries to resist as they begin fighting amongst themselves.

"I'll kill you bastard! I'll right my wrong!" yelled Khayun as he continues strangling. "If I... die... you die with me.." said Tim to which Khayun lets go as Tim gasps for breath. "I once considered you as my brother, it was fool of me to lay my trust towards a human!" yelled Khayun.

"Feeling's mutual bastard! once I get rid of you, I'll have the happiest moments of my life." said Tim. "We'll see how happy you might be without me, and what if you die due to this procedure like Jessica said, will you be happy still?" asked Khayun. "I won't die, but I'll pray you do." said Tim as he steps out of this room.

Meanwhile in Afreen's house where she and her family stay outside to welcome their cousins who had just returned from the airport, except for Afreen's father and uncle who went on to get their cargo while sending the rest.

"Assalamualaikum my dears, wow, you've all grown so big." said Afreen's mother as she welcomes them with a wide hug as Afreen and her brother approaches them.

"Walaikum salam Aunt, it's good to see you again." said Nailah, the eldest girl. "Walaikum salam Aunt, you look very beautiful in person." said Madhat, the youngest girl. "Thank you my dear, I'm so glad we've finally met." said Afreen's mother as she looks upon the only boy in their family, Nashat who is quite busy with his phone.

"Nashat, stop playing with your phone and say salams." said Nailah as she takes away his phone to which he becomes frustrated, but calms himself as he looks towards the Aunt. "Walaikum salam Aunt." said Madhat with a fake smile. "I'm sure, you know Afreen and Ali, I suppose." said Afreen's mother. "Hey guys." said Afreen with a wave.

"Sup?" said Ali to which her mother looks ragingly towards his face and turns back with a smile. "Come, my dears, you must be all tired." said Afreen's mother as she welcomes them into their homes as Afreen gets a call to which she stops and notices it's from Maggy.

"I gotta take this, be right back." said Afreen as she moves away while she answers. "Hello, Mrs Shaw, was waiting till you call, but now..." said Afreen before getting interrupted by Maggy through the phone. "Tim is here." said Maggy with excitement.

"What?" asked Afreen.

"Tim, he's here, he's finally here." cried Maggy. "Oh my god, well, where was he? did you inform the police?" asked Afreen.

"Shaw went on to clear everything with the police but he just told me there's nothing to be cleared at all, they had already cleared all records related to him from the start, and all this time, Tim, he was working with the government who did it in the first place, classified stuffs or something, we had our doubts at first, but he called onto one of their officials who briefed my husband about it." said Maggy.

"Wow.. I.. I can't believe it, is here there now, like at home, I need to talk with him." said Afreen. "I've told him about how much you and your friends wanted to speak, and he said about wanting to speak with you in person, asked if it's okay to visit your house now?" said Maggy. "Wait? like right now? oh shit.." said Afreen.

"Why, what's wrong?" asked Maggy.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but, It's just that.. my cousins are here, and so will my uncle soon, and Tim coming here would cause some.." said Afreen. "Oh, okay, then would you like to come here then?" asked Maggy.

"Yeah, sure.. I'll be there, if that's alright." said Afreen. "Yep, definitely will be, okay sweetie, I'll be seeing you soon, bye." said Maggy as she hangs up the phone.

"Oh shit." said Afreen as she hangs up her phone and hesitantly walk back inside the house as she closes the door. "Hey." said Nailah who is beside her when she approaches. "Hey." said Afreen.

"Something's wrong?" asked Nailah.

"No! I men, no, nothing at all." said Afreen as she begins to stress which starts to make the iris in her eye turn into reflective flame slowly which is noticed by Nailah. "Your eyes they are.." said Nailah as Afreen storms away upstairs and heada directly to the bathroom and shuts it tight as she begins to feel a warmth within her hands as it bursts into reflective flames.

"No, no, no, not again, please.. no." whispers Afreen as she attempts to calm herself but the flame starts dropping through her tear as it falls down which burns her foot through her shoes as she tramples on it.

"Ouch.. s**t, okay, calm myself, I just gotta calm, I just.." said Afreen as she takes a deep breath, breathing slowly as the flames fade away, returning her to back to herself again.

"That was close." said Afreen when suddenly Nailah from outside knocks to check on her. "Afreen, are you alright?" asked Nailah. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, it's my uhm.. contact lenses, they're.. I got them out now." said Afreen. "Right.. okay, Uncle is back, I thought you wanna know." said Naliah. "Yeah, thanks Naliah, give me a minute." said Afreen.

"Yeah sure, see you downstairs." said Naliah as she steps downstairs as Afreen almost goes to call Irene, but backs away as she realises Irene's out of town right now to which she then calls to Selina who answers within seconds of ringing. "Af, what's up?" asked Selina.

"Hey, Selina, how are you?" asked Afreen.

"I am fine, thank you for answering, you don't sound well." said Selina. "No, it's just cough, listen, when Irene left, the laptop, it was with you right?" asked Afreen. "Yeah, it's over by my shelf, why?" asked Selina.

"I need it,it's kind of a emergency." said Afreen. "What kind of emergency?" asked Selina. "The urgent one, come on Selina, I need that laptop, now, I'm coming over, just keep it with you, alright?" asked Afreen.

"Yeah, sure, you sound Alright?" asked Selina right before Afreen hangs up her call to which Selina becomes a bit concerned

Meanwhile, in the deserts of Banidh where Sharon walks along the town with Olc'ik while explaining to her on many matters that was unknown to Sharon.

"Many Jinns walk the earth after being exiled from Alj'ahim, such as Khayun, Ma'raen and many others, possessing the lives of humans as their own." said Olc'ik. "Which you wasn't aware of, until now." said Sharon.

"Yes, after knowing this, I was sent here to bring back the Jinns from Earth, to cast them down into the deep, but to apprehend them back, I need help, which led me to you." said Olc'ik. "You are a leader of a Jinn tribe, and you want my help, why?" asked Sharon. "Because, unlike the Alqada, I do not want them exiled into the deep, no matter how much sins they commited against us, they can repent themselves, if we bend their will to ours." said Olc'ik.

"You want to e*****e than kill them?" asked Sharon.

"Precisely, it was always my duty to show merciful towards the sinners, but we all know some are beyond that, like Khayun, who trapped Fatima into the realm of mirrors for eternity." said Olc'ik.
