Chore of Holders

Chapter six

It was almost 5 in the evening and Mira was sitting in the sofa at my right side. She came to see me as I met an accident in the morning. We were talking about that man in specific because I was so shocked to know that he already knew I was watching him yesterday from my office, moreover, he also knows that we’ve encountered three to four times earlier as well. This time when I told her about all of this, she was paying attention and was really considering listening to the incident because now she could not doubt it anymore, it was all clear that this was not a co incidence that the same man who I was thinking about and was worried since last week, came to save me from an accident. “Hey, did you again see his burnt face? And that gown as well?” she asked. “Yes, he was wearing the same gown, and his face was half burnt as I’ve told your before, but one thing that is bothering me a lot, I asked John in the hospital the same question and he denied, he said he was a normal man, he was wearing a black suit, and his face was all fine, not burnt at all”, I narrated the incident to her. 

I could see her facial expressions, she became tensed, and she got worried and started thinking something. What else could she do at that moment as we both had no clue what this man has to do with me and why his half burnt face and gown is only visible to me? I had so many questions running through my mind. 

“Alex, I have got an idea, why don’t we both start a research on that triangular sign that you talk about; the one at his back on that gown?” Mira said. I suddenly started thinking about her suggestion, she is absolutely right; I should at least try to get some knowledge from my end because now it has become a mystery to me which I need to solve. I nodded and she handed over me my laptop, we sat on the sofa and started searching on the internet about that sign, in starting we were not getting any sort of authentic information about this. But after some time, I saw a link which had lead us to a website where devil, demons, and evil creatures are discussed. I started looking for people’s comments on that sign but I did not get any help. There were mixed answers which made us confused, we were not clear at anything, I even searched about the single person being able to see something that others do not get to see, to which result was the same, I also got disappointed here as there was not a satisfying answer anywhere. I decided to consult a counselor; maybe he can help me out in this context. 

Next morning, I was searching for the appointment online when I saw this counselor namely Eric Jordan. I have heard of him a lot, he is so famous so I decided to take online platform as my communication medium, and I sent an email to him in which I asked him for an online appointment. He replied in the afternoon, and thankfully, I got an appointment at 6 in the evening. 

I settled up and the meeting with Eric Jordan started. We were talking on the video call as I already had introduced myself in my email, he directly asked me to come to the matter, so I without waiting any time told him about the history of that dark man with me, and all the incidents that took place in the past days. “So, Mr. Alex, as you have mentioned earlier, that man has a burnt face, are you sure that you have seen him like this even in your dreams? With the same gown, with the same face?” he asked me. “Yes, I’ve seen him with the same appearance every single time in both my dreams and in reality, I would also like to add here that I really think that sign has to something with his peculiar existence, I am searching through different mediums, I will let you know as I get to any conclusion”, I answered. “I see, can you please draw it on paper? And send me a snap right now?” he demanded, and I quickly sent him a snap after I finished drawing that sign on a piece of paper. “Okay, so I have just got your snap, I think I know what move to take next, I will get back to you at 9 sharp, I have to discuss your matter with Doctor Brian”, he said. 

The meeting was over, I had to wait for 9, meanwhile I had my dinner and I also searched on internet. I opened the same site that I saw yesterday and posted the snap of that sign in order to get some answers. This is basically a social platform where people from all around the world share their experiences, stories about demons and monsters and other creatures, they also discuss about abnormal creatures and it helps people all around the world. People often open up about their weird experiences or stories that happen to them. Within half an hour of web surfing, I received a notification of a lady namely Lucy Ray, I opened it while eating my snacks. I started reading it and started getting uncomfortable. According to her, this is a sign of evil representation, this sign shows the bad intention, it portrays the inner devil of an individual and usually, the devil worshipers use this. One thing that got me by surprise was that she also mentioned that this sign is usually worn by the devil workers who are secretly working on earth to divert human beings and to provoke them to do bad things. In three centuries, devil sends only one worker on a mission that nobody knows about but the motive is to wreck people from inside by manipulating them to do evil acts. That person is just like a normal human being and he does his job by living between humans and he lives a normal life just like all of us. According to the history and facts, the great Martin Holder was one of those people who could see the devil worker with his n***d eye, unlike a normal person who could not see any change in him, but Martin did, he was God gifted with the power to identify the devil and he could also see the features of the devil that normal people could not, like wearing a gown, having different ears, having horns at the back, having eye at the forehead, having burnt hand and many more. So, if I was able to see all those this is a clear indication that I was the one who was chosen as the descendant of Martin Holder. 

After reading her email, I closed my eyes and buried my head on the table, how on earth this could be true, I always thought that the story of Martin Holder was something that we cannot expect to happen again, and I am the one who has this quality to see the devil from different vision, I got confused, now I was having two opinions because obviously I could not fully believe on Lucy’s words, I had no clue of authentication, my mind could not stop thinking about so many things at the same time, whom to believe, whom not to. But one thing I know is that I can see him, I can feel him. I started to relate all the things together, those dreams, all those events that took place, and I concluded that it makes sense, yes it does. 

It was already 9 and I was late, I got a call from an unknown number asking me to join the online meeting, I joined it quickly and to my surprise, I was attending a meeting with a well known Historian Mr. Collin Tom. We greeted each other verbally and we discussed about my matter, I also told them that now I know where do I belong and what all of this has to do with me, at first they were not getting anything but later I explained them that I belong to the Martin Holder’s family and I am the one who is he descendant of his power. They looked surprised, they asked me to make decisions wisely and sensibly and that they are always there for the guidance and they hope to see me working for a good cause. They also asked me to keep it highly confidential.

I could not sleep that night properly; my inner voice was continuously telling me to think about it, am I really the one? How my parents are going to react on this? What about Mira? Is she going to believe me? Definitely she will. I need to take my time to absorb the reality and to analyze my current situation in order to understand things, while thinking all this; my eyes got heavy and I slept.
