GREEN EYE

CHAPTER 27

MHAVEL POV

“I will let you all live for now but not anymore in our next meeting, I will assure you that you will be the one to give your body to me and also suck her power”

Those last words that still lingers to me, I didn’t expect that she will appear on us, my body starts to tremble to see her, it's been how many years since I last saw her in person, she must be really enchantress at some point, she never gets aged, I don’t know what she wants with my Mom but she seems to tail her since then.

I was unconscious earlier because of what she did, I still remember that I am like dreaming that time, I am seeing a bunch of woman wearing a blue and white dress, they seemed to be all living inside the holy tower, I also noticed their eyes, they are all green like mine, and in a second I feel the heat inside me seeing that the whole tower was being attacked and all of them die.

Wrath and anger within me are uprisings I feel like my eyes are now shining in green and my body becomes light, I felt a different power inside me so I close my eyes to control it and when I open my eyes again I was taken back at the road and I saw Sanhia who couldn’t move and the woman in black is approaching her so I block her way.

I try my best to stop her and the energy within me is uncontrollable and it hit the black woman hard that makes her thrown away.

And my body suddenly drops onto the ground, I get weak that I couldn’t even move and stand.

Sanhia and I stayed in the car for a while to calm me down and my eyes to turn back to normal, it took almost how many minutes when I felt okay and so we manage to go home, she let me rest in her room.

“Will you be okay here?” she asks

“Yeah thanks, maybe I could get my energy back later,” I said

“Alright I leave you here for a while okay; I just need to talk to Jhonny,” she said

Then she gets out of the room and I have left here alone,

I pick Sanhia’s laptop and tries to research on what I saw, I keep searching about priestess or an enchantress with green eyes but I couldn’t see anything here though I am seeing a bunch of information about witches, there are people who encountered witches that have been dealing with humans with green eyes, I try to look upon it, and link by link it leads me to an image that really looks like what I saw in my vision, those women wearing a blue and white dress and has green eyes.

It's just an old sketch and it is written there that they were the people's lives hundreds century ago.

I try to read it more but suddenly my head hurts so I lean my back at the headboard.

Then suddenly my cellphone vibrates and on the screen, it is from an unknown number, when I check on it, I saw the message states…

“Please help me…there is something here in the house, I can't sleep, I am scared that a monster would try to kill me now, a lot of footsteps is all over the house, please help Ms. Bernards, I am living here at Mrs. Milano’s house, she left it to me for good”

I was about to respond but I receive another text messages coming from her again

“Please hurry, I am really scared….please”

After that, I manage to prepare myself and get my things then respond to her that wait for us outside and make sure she get away for a while from her house, make sure she is within the crowd at least in the side road.

I quickly go outside then ask Sanhia to come with me; I heard that Minerva is trying to ask for permission to live the house so I give her a command to stay.

“Just stay here no more buts! We save you by chance and it doesn’t mean we can do it again, Arsenas is no joke to messed up with right now, and besides, Sanhia we need to go, there is an emergency, I will tell you in the car”

I said and Sanhia walk with me going to the car, she keeps on asking me until we get to the house and we saw Mrs. Milano's assistant outside the so I park the car on the side of the road and get out.

When we all enter the house it is really feels strange inside and Sanhia is correct all Mrs. Milano’s picture is being scratched as you will no longer recognize her face on the pictures.

We are heading our way to the room where we heard the voice crying, so I quickly open it even this woman tries to warns me.

Upon opening the door I was dropped on the floor since the person inside jump of me and hugs me, I was shocked to see that she has the same face as the woman, damn, what is going on this time!?

Then a two monster appeared in front of us, saying something,

“Hahahahha, now identify who is the real one, but cautions for the both of you, the real one is under our boss curse so you cant use the forbidden hand of yours, they will both get melt and die, better know who is who or before the real one die, her curse is only for this night and she will be dead once you didn't cure her with your eyes, your powerful green eye is the only one can heal any curse”

When I heard it, I was suddenly felt confused, like how would I heal someone with cursed using my green eyes? Damn! We cant be mistaken or else the real one will die.

The monsters just flew away and we were left here, s**t, who is who damn it!

“Who do you think is the real one?” Sanhia whispers

“I am not sure as well, dang! They both same smell and the same with everything I will try to ask a question but I don’t know if it helps” I said

“Maybe that will do, ask her about things that both of you discuss,” she said

“I want both of you to answer this, write your answer and lift it up together, who is your current boss now?” I ask

“Mrs. Anilita Calvins” they both answered

Shit, they both know it, damn!

“What is your real name?” Sanhia ask

“Florena Sepeda” both answers it correctly as well

Damn this! I am looking at the time and almost 20 minutes had passed.

“Fine, Here is my last question what is the name of the man you are expecting to meet and will discuss the important things,” I ask

“Mr. Charlie Sapote” the one inside the room writes and the other one who is with us didn’t answer it

It is now already 11: 55 and I am now looking to the one who didn’t answer and I look at Sanhia signalling her to walk towards the woman from the room.

We both quickly run towards our target and at exactly 12 am the one that Sanhia holds suddenly melts in the air and the one I am holding staring at my green eyes is now passed out.

Sanhia and I were both drops ourselves on the floor, it’s been really scary and nervous since we really didn’t know nor have a clue who is the real one until I remember what the real one discusses with me earlier.

Sanhia is still panting while leaning her back on the wall, I can see that she is indeed getting tired, maybe she got a little scared that we will be mistaken.

“How did you know that she is the real one?” Sanhia ask

“I really don’t know at first, but when I remember our last talk inside the auction hall, I realized to ask that question, the reality is, she didn’t know who is the man who approaches her and he never gets back to her at the time he promises to meet because that man was Arlene’s father who was just kidnapped and that is what we need to save as well” I explained

I actually noticed that the fake one is indeed doing her research and probably knows everyone around Ms. Florena so I try to think of the person she has met but didn’t really know the identity, and so I thought of Mr. Sapote and it damn works!

“Yeah, but before that maybe you want to interview her, all that happens with Mrs. Milano, it is really weird that all her pictures here are been cropped or scratched, it seems that someone doesn’t like her face to be recognize,” she said and she has made sense.

While we are talking, suddenly the woman opens her eyes, and we guide her to sit when she wants to say something she was about to write so I stopped her.

“Hey, the cursed has been gone, I already healed you, and you can now talk,” I said

I can see how she was surprised and now her tears are now forming her eyes.

“Hmmmm sob*sob*…I am just happy that I am now able to talk…thank you to the both of you” she said

“It’s okay, though we want to ask something, why does Mrs. Milano’s face in the entire picture have been scratch or cropped? What is really happening?” I ask

“The thing is, she was cursed, the time I got there at her office with that woman, I saw her lying on the floor, and after two days she died and we are all shock when we saw her at her bed without a face, I mean her face has been erased and all the pictures are been like this,” she said

“But at least did you kept a good picture of her in you?” Sanhia ask

“Yes, wait here I have one that I kept..” she said then head her way to her room I guess

While waiting, we both stand up after we rest, I try to look around and I hold the picture frame that Mrs. Milano is still young, I cant see the face though the shape of her face seems to be familiar somehow, like I know I have seen her anywhere.

When Ms. Florena came back she is holding a picture and indeed it isn’t scratched.

“Here, this is what I have been keeping,” she said then we take a look at the picture, I guess this is her present picture.

“Is this picture, what date it is ?” I ask

“That was only one year before bad things happen that is somehow her present picture,” she said

“I don’t know but at some point, I am seeing someone at her, she looks really familiar, do you have any picture that she is still young?” Sanhia ask

“I am not sure, maybe at her old house in Tarlac, I guess she still has an old picture there, I will coordinate with someone to get her pictures,” she said

After that we head our way home since it is really late, I decided to just drop Sanhia at her house and go home.

When I got home, I saw Lucy standing at the door.

“Hey, cousin…I just have something to discuss with you” she said but I just ignore her and walk past through her

“This is just important; your name has been written at the car of the woman slaughtered last time, your name is there at the back of the passenger seat, she was found dead at the back seat and obviously she wrote your whole name with her blood, so I need to ask you about this,” she said that stops me

Fuck! How on earth I was written in there, I never met her in person.

“I don’t know about it, I didn’t even know who is she!” I said

“I know that, and to assure you, we don’t include you on the list of the suspect since we already know who is the mastermind of this, it's just maybe you can help us or somehow you have the idea about this killings” she explains

“So who are you suspecting huh?” I ask

“Well, we have been studying all their, moves, at the videos we got from the street CCTV, Arlene has been tailing by this van, and they just stop at a position which is not so far from Arlene’s car, this van was owned by the Carsen construction, we try to talk to the owner but Amanda Arsenas is just ignoring us,” she said

“Well then just investigate further coz I don’t know anything about it…” I said and was about to walk again when she said something

“Really? Then why you are talking to her last night at the event if you don’t know her” she said then let out her cellphone with my picture with Amanda in Calvins auction

“Geez, that was at Calvins auction where all the construction companies are being invited so of course, I will get to meet her!” I said

“Then you know her, that is the only thing I am asking you couz…just relax, go, have your beauty rest though one more thing, I just want to remind you, I am now all eyes on you,” she said and on that point, I walk towards and face her

“I am much aware of that ever since were kids, though I want to remind you as well, don’t mix your case with personal agenda and envy, or else you will be doomed….goodnight detective,” I said then walk towards my room

When I entered my room I just close my eyes and lean at the door, I got nervous seeing my name in the pictures that Arlene wrote at the back of the car.

I quickly called Sanhia and inform her.

“Hey I have a thing to discuss,” I said

“I have a thing to discuss as well,” she said

“Okay you spill first,” I said

“About Savin, Jhonny and I discovers that he is conducting an investigation with non-other than Samuel Arsenas, we try to locate him and he isn’t living at the Arsenas mansion anymore, only Mrs. Leila Arsenas, and here is the odd part, they are investigating Minerva for quite sometimes now, we don’t exactly what is really going on but we must find out, Savin is not here he said to my parents he still need to be an Arsenas attorney and do his job as his cover but we know that he just be going to where Samuel Arsenas is,” she said that really shocks me

“Damn, why there are so many hidden facts around this case, we must find out what is the truth at Savin’s mouth itself,” I said

“Yeah, I can't sacrifice my parent's safety, I can't let any traitor in my house…” she said

“Don’t worry we will get him tomorrow though I need to be more private in my every move, Lucy my cousin is here a while ago, she said that my name was found in Arlene’s car where she wrote it using her own blood, she said I am not part of the suspect though they are all eyes on me as well since I cannot let her know what is really happening around this case, so tomorrow we must do it privately” I explain

“Damn, that is weird, I didn’t see any name of you in the car, Jhonny let me see the incident videos of the same day she was found dead which was in the Police portal system that Jhonny hacked, but don’t worry I will check on it tomorrow,” she said

“ Okay, thanks, tomorrow we need to find Savin and Mr. Sapote, we must end this whole s**t as soon as possible!” I said then end the call

Minerva, why on earth Savin is investigating her……shit…! Is it because….I need to find out!!!
