?Hound’s Duty?
❄️By Crownway Amef❄️
??Episode 03??
?Not every hellhound belongs to hell?
Next morning, Haliah woke up with a heavy headache and she came out of bed weakly. She looked around but saw no one unlike everyday that there’s always a maid waiting by her bed to wash her feet and prepare her bath.
She noticed her long nails and went for her desk to pick a nail cutter.
“Seems everyone is busy today” she mumbled to herself.
“But why are my nails always growing faster than normal? It grows within 3 days after tr!m-mln and very long like a witch”
Haliah pondered over this sadly and while tr!m-mln her nails she mistakenly cut herself.
She winced in pain and rushed to the bathroom to stop the blood, she has never gotten hurt before.
Haliah opened the tap and water gush out splattering on her index finger, the blood washed away and surprisingly her wound closed right up.
Haliah gasped with eyes flickering with fear causing her to stagger back in three steps.
“What’s going on?my finger… I’m sure it was bleeding just a second ago…but now it’s gone and the pain… MOM!” She yelled out and ran to her mother’s room.
Haliah checked for her mother but couldn’t find her in the room, she then saw her coming from the big hall with her guards.
“Mom…mom there’s a big problem” she said uneasily.
“Why do you look so troubled my princess?”
“Mom I was trying to trim my nails and…” She tried to explain but…
“ What? You trimmed your nails yourself? Where is that useless Rita?” Violet cut in.
“No mom listen,I mistakenly cut myself and I healed right away, just look at my finger can you see anything there?” she said with eyes gleaming in astonishment.
Now Violet is short of words and she didn’t know how to defend that, she only grab her wrist and took her to her own room.
“Listen Haliah,don’t be too shocked about what am about to tell you, okay?”
“Yes mom but can you please explain the deal about my finger?” she demanded.
“You will get your answer soon” Violet assured her.
Violet pressed a button and the whole mansion changed as usual, the floor started turning over a new tile and Haliah got scared moving back so as not to fall but the ground transformation gain distance with her and went under her feet until the whole room changed completely.
“Mom!” She muttered.
“Sit here my princess.” Violet ushered her to a seat then she took a knife from those fixed at the wall and she cut Haliah’s wrist with it. She screamed and tried to free herself from her mother’s grasp but couldn’t.
Her wound closed back almost immediately and she calmed down seeing what her body has turned into.
“This is why I never allowed you to do anything by yourself,I thought I could hide what you truly are by making sure you never get hurt but I guess it’s not possible anymore”Violet sigh and returned the knife to her table.
“Mom what am I?”Haliah questioned
“ You are different from all kids in your school, different from everyone on this earth but trust me you are better than those weaklings. You have a special power Haliah but you’ve not awaken it yet… And I know you love fighting for the right things so don’t worry I’m going to train you well on how to use your powers and…
“You are driving me crazy mom! What the hell are you saying out of the blue?” Haliah cried out feeling confused.
“Listen my sweetheart, I know it’s sudden but try to adjust we have no time to waste on this…
“ So what exactly am I?” she yelled.
How is she to tell Haliah that she’s a time bomb… A demon who hasn’t awaken her powers,she’s going to harm herself for sure,she’s a girl with tender heart thinking her luxury life is enough for her.
She would have to deal with her with patience.
“There’s a home for the gifted like you,I run that place and train kids like you on how to control their powers, I’ll take you there” Violet said to her innocent daughter.
“Leave me alone for a while please”
“I’m sorry Haliah… I didn’t tell you sooner” she pat her shoulder and left the room for her.
Immediately she stepped out of the room, her alarm rang and she rushed to the hall.
Hades is already waiting for her.
She bowed to pay homage to Hades but a strong force hit her and she went crashing on the wall. She coughed out blood but stood up immediately so as not to displease hades.
“Why didn’t you tell her?” Hades said in a dreadful shuddering voice.
“I’m sorry my lord… She’s still young to accept the truth, with time I’ll try to convince her I only want to awaken her powers for now” she said pleading on her knees.
“Hmmmmm” he sigh and the air became cold.
“Since you mentioned that home where you trapped the gifted,I have a change of plan.Get that boy to Grey orbit!” he said.
“What? That place? If we teach him how to use his powers, that will be trouble and he might be in unison with the hellhound” Violet explained with desperation.
“I sensed Sarah has done something, she wouldn’t go into Coma without a plan,she’s dangerous and tricky… “
“But we can still try, and how are we going to get the boy to trust us? Especially since he’s still in that mansion… His grandma’s men will surely recognize our presence”
“Try to get on the good side, plot, think, and act… I won’t say more than that”
Hades veered around and the projection flickered showing he’s gone.
Violet went back to her room and saw Haliah about to leave.
“Mom, can I just pretend I never find out? I never hurt anyone unconsciously anyway”
“Yes Haliah you’ve been holding out strong but now that you are growing up,I’m afraid you are going to pose threats to your friends and loved ones” she lied to her faking a tear already.
“What? But why?” tears filled her eyes.
“If you don’t learn how to control your power, it will try to awake itself and turn you to a very bad person. But if you listen to me now and agree to go to Grey orbit, you can use your powers for good” Violet cried in pretense.
“Really? I’m sorry for getting mad at you mom” Haliah ran into her embrace in tears and Violet smiled at her evil lies.
“So will you listen to Momma?”
“Yes mom,I’m ready to go, but my schooling…”
“There’s a school inside, Grey orbit is a very nice and stupendous place”
“Okay mom” Haliah said with a head nod.
“I need your help before anything Haliah”
“Tell me mom,I’m willing to help”
“Your schoolmate Erik Taylor, he’s your friend right?”
“How did you know mom?” she asked puzzled as she disengaged from her mother’s embrace.
“I know you’ve been hiding him from me cause he’s not rich like you are and It displeases me when you befriend people below your level”
“I’m sorry mom, he’s not my friend,I’m just nice to him… He doesn’t want to be my friend too i dont know why”
“And you always stand up for him despite his harsh attitude towards you, why?”
“I’m not sure mom but I keep getting this strange feeling of relation anytime I see him”
“Yes my dear that’s because he’s got a special power like you… He’s gifted too” Violet said.
“What? What kind of person is he?” Hannah asked.
“He is a fire bender” she lied.
“A fire bender? Thought that only exist in books”
“But he’s in danger,it’s time to stand up for him again and I need your help”
“Danger?”
“Let’s go to Mexico”
?? MEXICO
Erik woke up few hours ago and his face is clear but cold, he just finished his parents burial and he’s sitting beside his grandma’s bed.
“Granny please I really need you,I’m very lonely right now please… Come back” he said and wiped his tears away.
Agent Ken,granny’s personal guard knew everything because Sarah never hides anything from him. He’s not a special being but Grandma Sarah is.
He looked at Erik with pity and was confused whether to tell him everything or not since Sarah is not waking up anytime soon.
He approached Erik and pat his shoulder. “Everything is going to be okay soon” he said.
CITADOM⚓
Haliah is dressed in full black attire and she put on a black leather hood with guns fixed in her holsters and crossbow at her back.
“I’m back mom, we must get to Erik before the bad men hurt him” she said.
“Good one my princess” Violet said
“Prepare the aladdin jet” she said over the telecom.
“What’s an aladdin jet mom?” Hannah questioned.
“A metaphysical special built jet that can travel faster than any manmade jet. A five hours journey is only 5 minutes for Aladdin jet”
Haliah smiled and said she wanna see it, Violet ask her to go look at it while she get ready also.
As soon as Haliah left the room,she picked up her phone.
“Are you guys there already? Attack the mansion, we are on our way” she ended the call and evil smile could be seen at the corner of her lips.
Mexico ?????⚜⚜⚜
A loud bang was heard and the ground shook, a missile landed on the fountain outside and it collapsed followed by rain of bullets coming out from every angle.
“Alert Alert !” The mansion sensory system warned.
Ken asked Erik to stay with his granny and should not come outside no matter what.
Ken led his team and took positions exchanging bullets with the intruders.
Black angels reached the house and tried to get in but unfortunately Ken placed a seal at the entrance already. Two black angels tried to enter but the force hit them away and their body caught fire as they screamed horribly.
Another missile was released and the Mansion is halfway destroyed.
Seems they are going to lose again.
Ken dropped his gun and lifted the seal on the house. He took Granny Sarah’s blue sword and asked Erik to go to the east forest at the back of their Mansion.
“Granny Sarah’s nurse will be waiting with few men and a helicopter, leave now,I’ll join you later”
“Can you please tell me everything already? Erik yelled out.
Ken ran his eyes all over him in pity before repmying to him “That will be later… Leave!” he yelled.
Ken went out and saw a black angel coming inside already.
It tried to attack Ken with it’s claws but he grabbed it’s wings and slammed it against the wall before th-ru_sting the sword into it.
He jumped out through the window and landed on the car which caused the glass to shatter into different directions.
Two black angels flew at him and he made a flip from the car th-ru_sting the sword into it’s brain before beheading the other.
Rain of bullets were released at him but he slapped them away with the aura emitting out of the blood sword.
Violet and Haliah arrived at the war scene with her men warning them not to transform into black angels.
They started fighting the other black angels and Haliah went to a spot setting her eye target gun and firing them down.
While trying to get a target with her gun, she sight Erik pushing a stretcher into the forest and she informed her mother using the walkie talkie.
Meanwhile, Violet sent men to the forest as soon as Haliah reported to her.
Ken noticed some strange people helping him and since there was no time for questioning, he took their help.
Erik got to the east forest and saw the nurses in cold blood with his granny’s men fighting some horrible creatures.
He was confused and scared then Haliah appeared to him.
“Erik, come with me… You are in danger” Haliah shouted from the jet hovering above him.
“Haliah? What are you doing here?” he asked.
Haliah got dow from the jet to face Erik but still holding onto the rope.
“Trust me, you will be safe with us, we are here to help you… I’ll explain everything later”
“No Haliah… Tell me what’s going on?”
Then violet arrived at the scene with Aladdin jet
“Get in Haliah, we must leave now,it’s very dangerous… You should come with us too”
“Who are you?” Erik sounded more confused.
“This is my mother and she helps kids like us” Haliah explained.
“Like us? What am I? What do you mean?” he said now sounding more lost.
“I’ll explain later kid, you will die if you stay any longer” Violet warned.
“Ken said I should wait here with grandma”
“Yeah I talked to him already, we are good people… Come with us he’s going to take care of your grandma” Violet said.
“I can’t just leave Granny alone” Erik insisted.
“I’ll have my men protect her and buy time till Ken arrive but you must come with us now,you are very important to us” Violet said but Erik refused to trust her so easily and then leaving her with no choice, she said;
“Okay I’ll get Ken for you”
Just then one of the trained gifted that Violet prepared just in case shape shifted to Ken’s form and he came running to them.
“I’m sorry Erik, you must leave now,I’ll take care of your grandma”
“Agent Ken… Please I’m trusting you” Erik pleaded.
Haliah stretched her hand forward for Erik to grab and climb the jet and he glance back to look at his grandma again.
He took Haliah’s hand and climbed into the jet.
Violet went on board as well and the jet went up to fly.
Violet’s men disappeared and the shape shifter shifted to a bat and left the forest.
Ken arrived soaked with blood and he saw Sarah’s stretcher with guards dead on the floor.
He yelled out Erik’s name but couldn’t find him. He looked so devastated to see that everyone was dead, he then went on his knees crying.
“I’m sorry Sarah… I couldn’t protect Erik”
He pushed the stretcher into the helicopter and the door closed up.
