Chapter 108 - Searching For Diana

"Hey chill out man, cant you take a joke for once. Besides, if you want me to backtrack to the path that I took, it is quite easy" said Jason.

"Good, now get to work before we run out of time" replied Austin with a serious look.

Not even bothering to argue with him, Jason begins to lead the way back and at the same time asks the bracelet for direction whenever it feels like he has forgotten the way back.

After walking for some time, Jason suddenly stopped as they now stood where six other paths could be seen.

"Well this is the place" said Jason with a smile.

"Yeah and if I am not mistaken, that should be the path that I took" replied Austin now looking at the paths in front of him.

After Austin has spoken up, Sam also pointed out the path he took leaving them with three other paths.

"Since we have already gone through these paths, leaving us with the remaining three, what do you think we should do about the search" asked Jason. 

"Well I would say we should split up and search the three paths to make things easier but since the level of danger is quite high, I will suggest we move together" replied Sam.

"Are you sure because I have this feeling that you are scared of walking on your own" said Jason as he look at Sam with a cunning smile on his face.

"What is your problem even" asked Sam who has already gone tired of being around Jason.

"Nothing, I am just saying because we need to look for the others before the possessed get to them and the easiest way to do that is by splitting up but you are saying we should stick together which will only make things work in the favor of the possessed" replied Jason.

"I know you want to get time done quickly but it would be a bad idea for us to split up Jason. Just imagine if the possessed we just face is that strong, how strong will the next one be" asked Austin as he agreed with Sam's plan.

"It shouldn't be that much" replied Jason.

"That is correct. So tell me, would you be able to hold your ground against it" asked Austin as he now looked Jason in the eye.

"Well it might be a difficult battle but I believe I will be able to hold my ground against it" replied Jason.

"Since you will be fine on your own, why don't you pick a path while Sam and I pick out of the remaining two then" asked Austin.

"I would agree to that but who knows what kind of danger that awaits the both of you on the other side, so I am coming with you guys" replied Jason with a smile on his face. 

Austin couldn't help but has a twitched face when he heard Jason reply as he turn to take a look at him once more. 

'Now I understand why the grand elder always wants to beat the living hell out of him' thought Austin.

"You don't need to worry about us Jason, with the two of us together, it will be difficult for the possessed to do away with us" said Sam.

"I still don't understand why you keep including yourself in important matters when you know full well that you are a burden" commented Jason as he shook his head in disappointment.

"I dare you to say that one more time Jason" said Sam in rage.

"And what are you going to do if I did" asked Jason with a smile on his face as he drew close to Sam.

"Will you two just knock it off" yell Austin as he pushed them to the side in rage.

"One more from the both of you and I am going to lose" continued Austin before taking a deep breath to calm himself.

Jason decided to seal his mouth when he saw that Austin was really angry this time around and it was the same with Sam who was on the verge of exploding in rage.

"I have told you before, if you want to fight there is always a time for that once we are out of this mess so try and focus on the task at hand" said Austin after calming down.

"I don't mind waiting until we are out of here but the problem is always him. All he does was think of a way to get me angry" replied Sam.

"I don't want to say anything to this waste here so can we please pick a path quickly and move" said Jason as he urge Austin to make a pick.

Austin just let out a sigh as he discovered that instead of speaking, it is better to pick a path and move since there is no way to stop them from cursing at each other. Now looking at the three remaining paths in confusion as to which one to pick and Jason was already getting tired of waiting.

"Since you are finding it difficult to pick a path, then let me do it for you" said Jason as he took a step forward and began to look at the paths before pointing at one.

"Since that is the one you pick, then let's go" said Austin as he quickly went forward.

Seeing that Austin did not disagree with Jason's decision, Sam could only follow from behind as he didn't want to cause trouble. Taking the path, it didn't take the group much time before they begin to see a trail of blood all over the place which makes them worry as they begin to move faster in the hope that the blood would either belong to the possessed or a beast that was kept in the place as a trap for whoever that take the path but the moment that they arrive at the spot where the trail ended, the group could see the remains of a human laying there with no sign of knowing which family he belongs to.

"Seems like we are a little bit late" said Sam in disappointment.

"We really need to get rid of this possessed before we all lose our life here" replied Austin.

"If only we knew where it was hiding, then finding him wouldn't be a problem" said Jason with a sigh.

"There is actually a way for us to know where it is hidden" replied Sam.

When Jason and Austin heard him say that he knew of a way, they quickly stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Sam with a surprised look on their face. 

"You mean there is a way we can find where that freak is hiding" asked Jason.

"Yes there is but it all depends on if we were able to find anyone from the Platton family" replied Sam with a hand on his cheek.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier, I would have gone in search of Diana by now. Austin did you see the reason why I called him useless" said Jason in anger.

"Not now guys" replied Austin as he cut Sam off before he could say anything.

"So now that we know how to locate the possessed, the only problem right now is how we can find the Platton family" said Austin.

"That is the reason why I didn't say anything earlier because it will only make things difficult for us. So it is better to look for the rest and it is only in this way that we will be able to protect ourselves" replied Sam.

"But still things would have been easier since we now know how to locate him" added Jason before getting up. 

"Now let's go look for Diana" suggested Jason after getting up.

"Wow wait man, how on earth do you plan to locate where she is" asked Austin.

"I still have her scent on me so it won't be that difficult for me to locate her" replied Jason.

"Oh, does it also work on humans too" asked Austin with a surprised look on his face.

"As long as I can get a small of what I want, locating them won't be a problem for me" replied Jason.

"Hey, do you think you will be able to track that pretty girl from earlier" asked Jason to the bracelet.

"You didn't bother to acquire from me before bragging with the others in the hope that it is possible eh" said the bracelet instead of answering his question.

"Can you do it or not" asked Jason in all seriousness.

"Of course I can as long as the smell is still there" replied the bracelet.

"Good now leads the way since we don't have much time on hand before everyone is dead" said Jason with a serious look on his face.

"Alright I will lead the way but it might take a long time before I will be able to find her since we don't know the path she took" replied the bracelet.
