"Where is he?" Zach says to himself as he checked the time, he had been waiting for his brother he even made breakfast for him and it was already getting cold, he should have been back by now Zach thought of going to find him. After awhile, Tony rushes inside sweating heavily, with some blood stains on his torn trousers.
"Are you okay?" Zach said quickly, he ran towards his brother to check his body but Tony pushes him.
"You have to come with me." Tony says and walks out, Zach wondered what was going on, where was the farmer and the carrier he feared his brother had gotten them in deep trouble but quickly runs after him.
"What the hell Tony?" Zach says as he looks at a unconscious Jolt inside the carrier, they were a little bit far from the village cause Tony didn't want to bring it back to the village so he won't alert the farmer family.
"I found her in the wood unconscious, there's more but help me get her home." Tony says swiftly he was breathing heavily and looked really tired, Tony got even more worried.
"Where's the farmer Tony?" Zach asked politely.
"That's not the issue now, I need........." Tony tried to deflect the issue but he got Zach angry.
"Where's the farmer?!!" Zach yelled at the top of his voice and even moved closer to his brother, Tony boldly stares at him.
"Dead, now help me." Tony says boldly and walks towards the carrier to get Jolt.
Back in the military facility, Farrell and his team are explaining to the general how they failed but as they stutter couldn't find the right words to say, a wave of blue coloured energy unleashes out of the general body pushing everyone to the wall.
"I thought I could trust you fools that's why I didn't bother to come, I'm disappointed." The general says slowly and menacingly, Farrell gets up trying to explain but the blue energy wave unleashes out of the general and hits Farrell on the head knocking him down.
"Which way did she go?" The general says swiftly and sits down on his chair thinking of how he'll explain to the king that they lost the girl.
"There's a village not far from Northing, she's probably there or even in Castoil." Farrell says softly, he was pissed cause he was already getting close with secretive general.
"Then go and fine her, I'll join you people soon after I see the King." The general says and leaves his office, Farrell and his team remained on the floor they know they punishment they'll go through if they don't find the girl in time.
The general rides a horse towards a huge black gate, he was heading to the King's palace he thought of many lies to tell the arrogant King, he knew he was in trouble but he calmed down. He stops the horse as they get to the front of a large huge black gate, he gets down and walks towards the gate majestically he wasn't stopped by the guards not because he was well known but because he was feared by everyone in the capital, he smirks and walks pass the guards the outside of the palace was really huge and with huge trees around it the palace was also filled with white dogs and magical animals called "Callows." they were white and furry more like a dog but could shoot lasers from their eyes, even the dogs feared the general he seemed to have used their kind for something unknown but diabolical.
"Your highness." The general says smoothly as he walks in to a big chapel, the chubby king is seen in the middle of the chapel praying to a sliver statue of a black man wearing a coat, the general walks towards the king and slowly bows to honour him.
"What about the girl Ze'l?" The king asked he had a very thick voice, only him and few members of the royal family were allowed to call the general by his name.
"The boys are bringing her but......... She has this dark force field around her body so it'll take time before she gets here." Ze'l quickly thought of a lie, the king had a close relationship with Ze'l so believed him.
"I don't always trust people but you're a good one, this young girl power is our key to ruling the other six Kingdoms so we can't blow it up." The King says gently, he closed his eyes to continue praying to the gods the king had a different personality outside the chapel he was a much more funnier and nonchalant person but he had to remain quiet to honour the god he worshipped, Ze'l felt even more pressured to find the girl and plans to head out with his team but is stopped by the King.
"Don't go anywhere Ze'l, join me and my family for breakfast today it's been awhile since we had fun old friend." The King says swiftly, inside of him Ze'l was yelling he didn't trust his team anymore but couldn't disobey the King's order he had already lied.
"No problem your highness." Ze'l says gently.
"Join me as we pray to our Lord Xom." The King says gently, bows his head, slowly breathes out and they begin to pray.
Farrell and a group of trained Supernaturals leave the military area with even bigger gear which had technological elements in it, they were twenty in total most of them were the best in the military Ze'l wanted to send more but also didn't want to cause any alarm that will alert the King, Farrell was only friends with one of the soldiers which was Annaike, a woman with the ability to create portals. She spent a lot of time trying to get close with him but he was always pushing her away.
"It's about to get tough." Annaike says to Farrell as they walk towards a flying ship.
"We just have to keep our eyes at the goal, get the girl and make sure the general isn't disappointed." Farrell says swiftly, he didn't even bother to look at her. His eyes were at the goal.
"You want to have s*x with him." Annaike says gently and chuckled a little, Farrell quickly faces her and drags her closer to him.
"Even though what you said isn't true at all, how do you know?" Farrell says to her quietly, he looked around his side to make sure no one was listening to them.
"It's quite easy to see, especially for me since I love to pay attention at your quiet ass." Annaike says swiftly and bursts out laughing she wasn't planning to tell anyone but just wanted to piss Farrell off.
"I'm not telling anyone, I promise." Annaike says and walks away while Farrell was looking dumbfounded.
"What do we do now?" Zach says to his brother as they both manage to get home with Jolt, she was still unconscious.
"I have....... No idea, I'm sure if we calm down and she wakes up.........." Tony was saying anything not thinking straight, he quickly pissed Zach.
"What is going on? What happened there? Who is she?" Zach asked, he tried his best not to raise his voice so he couldn't alert the other villagers.
"Fine..........." Tony says and breathes out, he grabs a wooden chair to sit on.
"While I and the farmer were coming back in the night, she was running and hit the carrier............ Then she started saying some strange words but the farmer....... shot her with a gun." Tony says slowly, his voice was shaking and he was sweating heavily Zach on the other hand didn't know what to say but just look at his little brother.
"Then....... Her body magically healed itself and she was floating in the air I think to cut the story short she killed the farmer." Tony says, he tried to smile but his brother wasn't smiling back, Zach turns around to process everything his brother had just told him.
"You brought a Supernatural that just murdered someone to our house Tony!" Zach yells at the top of his voice, he couldn't hold the anger anymore.
"I knew you wouldn't allow me bring her in if I mentioned that part to you, she looked so confused yesterday night I had to do something." Tony tries to explain to his brother but it wasn't going well.
"She might be a spy for the army, we need to get her out of here." Zach says swiftly as he moves really quick to Jolt unconscious body.
"Will you stop being naive." Tony says and blocks his brother way, they both were stared at each other for a minute Zach felt like punching him and knocking him down for what he had done but also understood his brother kind heart. They hear a knock from the door.
"Shit." Zach says quietly, who could it be? They wondered, Zach thought quickly went to the government while Tony thought it was the girl's family they both had different views in how they saw things.
"Hide the girl." Zach says to his brother, he rushes to attend to the person so that whoever it is won't raise any suspicious, he slowly opens the wooden door and it's the wife of the farmer Zach had no idea who she was.
"How may I help you?" Zach says swiftly.
"Hmm.... Your brother Tony followed my husband to the Northing I wanted to know if they were back." The elderly woman said, she looked quiet stressed she has gone from house to house trying to know where her helpless husband was.
"He isn't back, I'm getting worried too." Zach lied, he was really good at acting, Tony and Jolt hid in the tiny room she was still unconscious.
"Well, if you get any information then let me know." The elderly lady says, tears filled her eyes as she worried about her husband Zach gently closes the door and lays his back on it, he breathes out heavily. Tony comes out of the room.
"Thank you." Tony says to his brother, they both couldn't stop looking at each other, Jolt slowly comes out of the room she had no idea what happened last night except that she ran away from home the brothers moved closer to each other who was going to explain to her.
"Who are you guys?" Jolt said, she wasn't really scared though she was just glad that she was able to escape.
"It's a long story." Tony says gently. "You.... were..... Running." Tony was lost of words, Jolt felt really weak she sat on a wooden chair beside her.
"I ran away from home." Jolt says to herself remembering everything except what happened between her and the farmer.
"Why?" Tony asked, Zach wasn't even ready to have a conversation with her.
"Some........ People." Jolt wanted to tell them but she was told never to trust strangers, she was frightened a bit about being with two men in a house but they looked harmless in her eyes.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk." Tony says to her but Zach wasn't having it.
"No it isn't, we need to know what happened if you're going to stay here." Zach says to her swiftly.
"Well I'm not staying, I'm going back home." Jolt says boldly to the already annoyed Zach.
"Wait, at least you have to eat something." Tony says to ease the tension, he brings out a loaf of bread with his family picture from his pocket he then drops it on a wooden table Jolt who suddenly had a strong memory of people she saw at her house and picks up the picture.
"I know this man, he wanted to take me." Jolt says to herself as she points at Farrell, she had forgotten that she was talking out loud.
"Farrell? Brother?" Tony says and faces his tensed brother, Zach looked really bothered.
"You know him? My memory is still a little bit blurry but yeah I saw him." Jolt says to them.
"If he was there then it means the government is looking for you." Zach says swiftly, he thought of what he could do they were all in danger, how could he protect his little brother. Zach picks up a bottle of water on the floor and grabs a pocket knife with him.
"Where are you going?" Tony asked.
"To make sure we're safe." Zach says, breathes out and runs out of the house to monitor if any government agent was coming.
The military black coloured huge spaceship lands in the middle of the forest not far from Northing and the village, the team slowly get down one thing about them is they treated themselves with high respect when they were around the less fortunate.
"We need to check her house.” One of the male soldiers says gently as he held a huge laser gun.
"Why would she go back there? If we're being smart then we should go to the village not far from here." Another soldier gently says, they all were making sense so Farrell being the captain of the team decides.
"You both make sense, I don't think she can go to the village because that place is filled with people that hate Supernaturals while I believe her parents might be trying to protect her." Farrell says swiftly but this causes another argument.
"We used the truth Slayer on those normals, they couldn't have lied about where the girl was." Another soldier says briefly.
"Well, were dealing with someone that has immense power so we can't be sure. I'll lead fifteen of us to the Northing while Annaike leads the other fifteen to the village." Farrell says swiftly, Annaike was shocked she was a very skilled warrior but was never entrusted with such responsibility.
"Really?" Annaike asked, she was doubting herself but excited for the opportunity.
"I think it's time we start trusting each other around here." Farrell says to his team, Annaike smiled perfectly understanding what he meant.
At the outskirt of the village, Zach is sitting there waiting for something to happen, he kept his eyes opened and ready for anything to happen. A farmer who was a little bit close with Zach was coming in with his carrier and wife sitting beside him.
"Boy, why are you all here by yourself?" The farmer says as he stops his horse.
"Nothing, just thinking about a lot of things. Where are y'all coming from?" Zach asked.
"From a very far town, we have gardoins in the boot." The wife says quietly, gardoins were tiny green creatures who spent most of their time sleeping but once they wake most end up exploding.
"Youre bringing gardoins to the village, why would you do that?" Zach asked, he stood up to see the farmer clearly.
"Not for the village, it's meant for the town of the witches........ Castoil, only Xom knows what they want to use it for." The farmer says gently, they were already running out of time.
"We need to get going, we're just going to get some stuffs from home and take off. Also I'll advise you to stay at home, while we were coming we saw a group of Supernatural soldiers coming our way I wonder what those bastards want." The farmer says and takes off swiftly.
"Shit." Zach grind his teeth, he takes off with speed to alert his brother.
Back at the hut, Tony watches Jolt as she cheerfully ate the bread she didn't want to at first but she was really hungry. They both hadn't said anything to each other since Zach left the house apart from telling each other their names, Jolt didn't want him to feel uncomfortable so brought up a topic.
"Your brother was quite rude." Jolt says swiftly as she drops the loaf of bread on the wooden table.
"He wasn't always like that but sometimes the world forces you to grow up fast and there's nothing you can do about that." Tony says to her, he gently moves closer to her and brings out a tiny toy of the silver Xom.
"Everything is going to be fine." Tony assured her.
"You're pretty optimistic." Jolt says, she moved back a little bit she still didn't really feel safe around him.
"Yeah, I've been through a lot of things and I'm always trying to remain hopeful, do you know about Lord Xom?" Tony asked, she nodded the negatives but Tony gives her the toy.
"Lord Xom is a symbol of hope, that if we believe enough good will always come our way." Tony tells her, he gently touches her hand her body felt some kind of spark she looked deep into Tony precious eyes and was lost in his looks but that moment was over when Zach quickly barges inside.
"We need to get out of here, now! The military are coming." Zach says swiftly, he was breathing heavily as he was looking around for things they need.
Annaike and her team arrive at the village, the villagers quickly got scared all of them ran hiding with their kids and foods supply. The team slowly smiled, they were still feared and they all loved it.
"You all know how the girl looks like, use your scanner." Annaike says swiftly, the team all brought out a special type of eye goggle that could look through houses.
"Something tells me she is here." Annaike says gently, they all slowly used it as they all gently check all the houses.
"We need to hurry up." Zach says as he hands both of them different colours of
a full covered face mask, Tony colour was deep black, Zach was blue while Jolt was red. The two brothers didn't waste time before they wore theirs this wasn't their first rodeo but Jolt was shaking heavily. She was scared and had no idea what will happen next.
"What's this? Where are we going?" Jolt says her voice was cracking.
"That belonged to our sister..." Zach says as he looks through the back window, he sees the farmer from earlier with his carrier as he heads towards Castoil.
"And we're going to Castoil." Zach says briefly but Jolt was still scared to put on the mask. A purple coloured giant portal suddenly opens in the middle of the house nothing came out of it yet but as Tony moves closer to it, a huge hand comes out of it and grabs him on the neck.
"Help!" Tony yells, he was in pain as the soldier held his neck really tight. A man comes out of the portal with his full soldier gear, he throws Tony with full force towards the wall Zach jumps into action to help but is no match against the trained super soldier after throwing fist with him for awhile, the man punches him really hard on the face knocking him down.
"I've found her, I'm bringing her in." The soldier says as he alerts his team through the comms, he brings out a taser from his pocket he wasn't ready to joke with her all the soldiers were all pissed about how Ze'l scolded them.
"You're coming with me girl." The soldier says swiftly, as he stretches the taser towards her Jolt slowly thought of what to do in her mind, she wanted to leave this place but didn't want to abandon the people that helped her. She felt some kind of dark power inside her and a dark mist surrounded her body. Jolt finds herself behind the soldier, she had just teleported something she wished for the soldier was very confused but turned around to face her.
"I said you're coming with me." The soldier says again and quickly grabs her hand forcefully but he slowly felt a huge amount of pain as Zach hits a plank right under his p***s really hard.
"That's what you get." Zach says, he had witnessed how Jolt vanished to another location and quickly picked a plank which was many in their house. The same dark spirit that possessed Jolt last night suddenly takes over her body again after being enraged by how the soldier grabbed her. Jolt suddenly starts floating in the air same as the soldier a dark mist starts coming out of the soldier body and was going into Jolt, he was getting skinner she was taking out his soul.
"What is going on?" Tony says, as he got up.
"She's killing him." Zach says, he was astonished by how powerful and scary she looked. Jolt looked at her them and they were terrified especially Tony she stops and the soldier falls really hard on the ground but the dark spirit was still in control.
"What now?!" Jolt asked, her voice was deep unlike other times that she talked, her eyes were glowing in deep black colour, Zach slowly points to the carrier of the farmer.
"I........saw you....... teleport, can..... you get us to the boot of that carrier?" Zach asked, he stuttered cause was quite scared of this new spirit inside her.
"We'll see." Jolt says and laughs manically, she snaps her fingers and they all vanish away from the room. Annaike and her team barges inside the house with their guns, swords and other weapons ready to attack but didn't find anything except the unconscious and almost dead body of the soldier who fought with Jolt.
"Dammit!" Annaike yells at the top of her voice.
The trio suddenly find themselves inside the back of the carrier filled with a bunch of gardoins, Jolt was back in control of her body and before she could even say anything cause she was terrified Zach put his hand on her mouth.
"None of you should talk, we're here with a bunch of gardoins and they might explode if we don't remain quiet." Zach quickly warns both of them especially Jolt who had no idea what gardoins were, she was shocked about what she could do with her powers same as the others cause she had more than one power.
"Shit." Tony whispers to himself, they were all traumatized by everything that had just happened Jolt didn't get herself especially how she could even think of wanting to kill someone, Zach hoped they would be able to get some answers as soon as they get to Castoil.
"It was memorable day for our people, everyone was happy that day." The King tells his three kids, two wives and Ze'l as they sat for breakfast in a very huge dining room, the dining table was insanely wide that it took most of the space in the room the King loved life and wanted to enjoy every bit of it before it was his time, he had two sons and a daughter the eldest son Lau was about to hit eighteen and was being prepared to take over the throne but he didn't want any part of it he just wanted to live life, his other kids were really young about the same age Nanu and Jemiya they spent most of their times bickering and his two wives who didn't do a lot of talking but they looked elegant and classy. Ze'l had some issues with the way the King handled his family especially Lau who was next to rule he wasn't ready to take over and protect the Kingdom something Ze'l is willing to do at all cost.
"This was definitely nice, thank you for inviting me your highness." Ze'l says to the king, he was much more bothered about the girl they were haunting he hadn't gotten any feedback from the soldiers too, as he stood up to leave a elderly woman wearing a armour made of steel walks in with a young lady Aila who wore a white and blue mixed coloured shirt and skirt.
"We're sorry for being late my King." The woman tells the king as she quickly bowed with him same as Aila, the woman was the king loyal advisor and Aila was the woman only child.
"Jen, it's nice to see you again." Ze'l says to the woman with a smile, they both had a very complicated history together.
"It's been months since I've seen you, I hope you're not leaving now I just got here for breakfast." Jen says to him swiftly with a quick smile, he stutters at first trying to find the right words to say but after taking a look at everyone there looking at him awkwardly he decides to stay.
"You know...... I'll stay for awhile, we can catch up on some important stuffs." Ze'l says to her, they both sit beside each other while Aila sits beside Lau they also were close but Aila found him to be really annoying.
"You're really moody today, was school that bad?" Lau whispers to a tired looking Aila.
"Always." Aila says briefly, she wasn't in a talking mood.
After hours of traveling, encountering authorities, dealing with magical creatures, bumpy roads and so many more obstacles the trio finally arrive at Castoil. The town looked more like a cowboy western place with sheriff's, men riding metallic cow like beast called "Unf." and so many witches some were undercover while others couldn't hide it, some spent time helping the people develop the town while others spent time trying to ruin it there was a deep history and rivalry between the cowboys and witches everyone had territories.
"Thanks again." Zach says to the confused farmer and his wife as they wondered how they got to the inside of their carrier, he tried his best to explain but the farmer just told him to leave. He then joins both Jolt and Tony who had both been waiting for him.
"While you were busy explaining I was able to get us some help, streets says there's this town with who helps out in...... Finding yourself." Tony tells him swiftly, Zach nods to the positive and Tony leads them there. Jolt didn't say anything as they walked she was still thinking about what she almost did at the village.
"Are you okay?" Tony asked her bothered, she wasn't paying attention to what he said until he said it two more times she snapped back to reality.
"I guess so, I can't just believe that I almost killed someone." Jolt says to both of them as tears filled her eyes, Tony moves closer to Zach.
"I don't think she has any idea that she killed someone and for our sake we shouldn't tell her." Tony whispers to his brother who was more concerned on how they would get to witch safely.
"Sure whatever." Zach says not bothered about it, he didn't see a big issue in killing someone especially if it's to survive.
Zach and Tony were very street smart so with a lot of help and navigation they located the witches shop before the sun could dawn, they were both extremely proud of themselves while Jolt just wanted answers to her problem and what's inside her.
"Are you ready?" Tony asked Jolt to make sure she was comfortable but she was more than comfortable for whatever was there.
"Let's do this." Jolt says determined as the trio faced a small concession, walking out of the shop is the girl from the woods in the previous chapter she looked confused and angry for unknown reasons. They enter the shop and it's very shadowy filled with human skulls, relics, potions in tiny bottles and so many other things that looked very strange in Jolt eyes unlike Zach and Tony who weren't fazed at all.
"What is the issue?" A woman who was wearing a long coat that covers all her body says with a very deep voice, she was the witch that owned this shop.
"We........... Need." Jolt couldn't find the right words to say cause she was insanely scared of where she was, Zach took over for her.
"Our friend here needs help, there's something inside her that she doesn't understand like some kind of power." Zach says swiftly to the lady, he was intrigued about what was going on to Jolt.
"Twenty Klay." The Witch says briefly she had other customers waiting for her and wanted to be done, Zach found the price a bit outrageous but Tony had stolen the money from the farmer Jolt killed so he interrupted before Zach could complain.
"Hey, I got this." Tony says to his brother and gives the money to the witch, Zach didn't like that but didn't talk the Witch grabs Jolt hand all of a sudden without telling her.
"Hey be careful." Jolt warns her, the Witch uses her finger as a sign to tell the trio to remain quiet which they quickly obeyed. A minute after the shop starts shaking and a sudden bright light appears multiple times and disappears like the darkness and light were fighting this got the trio really frightened even the Witch was frightened cause she hadn't felt such power inside someone for a very long time the soul and the mind of the Witch went inside Jolt head she found herself in some kind of dark void.
"What's..... wrong here?" The Witch says slowly and walks carefully, she heard distorted voices of different people and some kind of beast making a sound, it was near her she could feel it and she starts to run out of fear.
In the real world Zach and Tony stood there wondering if everything was fine, all of a sudden the Witch opens her eyes and starts to scream, praying in different languages that they didn't understand.
"What happened?" Jolt says worried and tries to touch her but the Witch slaps her hand scared of what was inside Jolt.
"Devil, Devil, Devil........." The Witch says repetitive stuck in a loop
