Ch: 88 [Evil Forces]
[Location: Australia] [Somewhere in Queensland]
A dark portal opened inside the forest.
Two men and a woman emerged from the portal, covered in slimy liquid and blood. Then the portal closed.
"This was not the deal. You hear me... We had a fucking deal. You get the book and I get to enjoy the rest of my life in Jacksonville..." Yelled the man in a blue shirt. His right hand is made of metal and he is carrying a shotgun on his back.
"You mean we?" Said the girl.
"Yeah, we. You heard her... We get to enjoy the rest of our life in Jacksonville," He yelled again. But no one answered him.
"Hey, Ash. I think we should move. This place doesn't feel so good," said the young man with a worried expression.
[Bang!] [Bang!]
The sudden gunshots caused everyone to flinch, including Ash.
"What the f*ck?! Someone's here?!" Ash exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hey, Ash," The young man looked around fanatically, "Something is moving among the trees."
As soon as he finished, the gunshots stopped. A pin-drop silence followed after that. Everyone was on their edges...
"Kelly!!!" Ash pushed the girl away. The tree on her left fell on the place she was standing. A little late and she would have turned into a bloody squash, "Pablo, duck!" Ash yelled at the young man.
Pablo crouched on the ground at once. A rusted axe flew over Pablo's head, missing him by an inch, and struck the nearby tree. It was a close call.
"Jefe," Pablo stood up after glancing at his back, "You saved my life again."
"Don't thank me yet," Ash said with a satisfied smile, "We still got a deadite to kill."
Suddenly, a hoarse voice of a woman was heard around them. It was hard for them to determine her position. It was as if her voice was coming from all directions.
*"Ashy Slashy, hatchet and saw, takes your head and skins you raw."*
*"Ashy Slashy, Heaven or Hell, cuts out your tongue so you can't yell.*

[10:00 PM] [Mutant Academy][First person POV]
After the incident at the auction, Jenny's power was fluctuating. So, Harley took her to the mutant academy on the way home to get her some help. When I went to the academy to check on her, the professor told me that she was unintentionally amplifying others' abilities due to her exhausted mental state.
Right now, she is sleeping. Jean has stimulated some of her good memories to help her stabilize. So, I can't leave her side now and go on to spend time with Nyssa. I called her and told her my situation. She wasn't angry or anything and told me that she will pay a visit tomorrow morning to check on Jen.
Harley and I ate some light dinner after that. I told her to take some rest and I sat on a chair in Jenny's room, looking at her sleeping face.
[Next morning]
Jenny is once again smiling and back to her usual self. Her power has stabilized and she was free to leave, but she wanted to attend today's class. Well, I think that's for the better. Being with her friends will uplift her mood and will help her forget the trauma.
Nyssa came by the academy to check on Jenny. She told me that she has somehow managed to get my Mustang and sold the other cars to the owner of the auction house. And since the amount is big, it should be credited to my account in a day or two.
After she left, I was about to go to the junkyard to arrange things, but that's when I received Willo's call.
Willo informed me that John murdered her mother in cold blood and she sound pretty much devastated. She came to New York this last night after hearing the news. And there is something else she needs to tell me. She said she needed to talk alone with me. I decided to meet her without any hesitation.
Since Jenny and Harley were in their class, I told Emma to arrange a place for them at the dormitory for today, since I might be late. And then I drove off to the location Willo had sent me.
I know the pain of losing a parent and right now, she must be going through the same pain as me. I just hope she is alright.
But I still can't believe it...
John killed her mom in that auction! This doesn't make any sense. I thought he was working for her. There is something fishy going on around Willo.
