80 Chapter 80: The Death- Hooded Figure

Emy was sitting in the car with the door open, and Devin was leaning on the outside of the car right next to the open door where Emy was. Reed realized as he got closer to the two that he shouldn’t have doubted Emy. Shamans are powerful, but Emy’s skill is one of a kind. She could see what was inside of him.

Emy got up and went to greet him as soon as she saw him coming.

“What happened to you? Why did you suddenly disappear?” Emy asked.

Reed gave a small smile. “I just washed my hair.” Reed put his hand on Emy’s. “Let’s eat first. I’m hungry and I know you are too.”

Devin, Reed, and Emy all got in the car right away. Emy used her phone to look for a place to eat where they could all go. Reed had his elbow on the window and his hand on his head as he looked at the road. Devin took a few looks at Reed. Someone then sent Reed a message with black smoke.

“Let’s go to the hospital right away...” Reed said.

“Hospital? Why?” Emy spoke up.

“The girl who was attacked by the demon is now awake,” Reed said. “We need to go to him to find out what the person who attacked him looks like, and I’m sure that person attacked him because you were his first victim.”

“What about Mark, though?” Emy looked at Mark, who was playing on his phone while wearing headphones.

.....

“I can send him home using teleportation. I’ll just come back to you.” Devin said.

“No, we’re eating outside, aren’t we?”

“Okay. When we get to the hospital, let’s just put her to sleep.” Reed said.

In the meantime, the person with the hood walked quickly through the hospital hallways to get to the hospital. The people with Reed got to the hospital. After Devin parked the car, Reed let out a cloud of black smoke, which went up Mark’s nose and knocked him out. The three people got out of the car and went straight to the hospital lobby.

“Which room do you mean?” Amy spoke up.

“501..” Reed said.

Emy turned to go to the elevator, but they were still on the second floor. When Devin touched her wrist, she was shocked. They were looking for a room on the second floor, and suddenly, they were there. When they turned around, Devin could see the room number on the wall of the hallway.

Devin said, “There.”

They walked to the other side of the room and looked around, but they didn’t find what they were looking for. That person came from a room. He looked at Reed.

“Reed is the person in a hood that we’re looking for,” Devin said. “Is Maria in the room or not?”

They ran after the person in the hood, but they rushed down the stairs. Devin went after that person right away, and Reed and Emy came into the room. It shocked them to see people crying there.

Emy looked over at Reed. “She is gone.”

“Damn it!” Reed said.

He grabbed Emy’s hand and led her out of the room right away. Reed and Emy ran quickly to the door that led outside. They went down the stairs to go after Reed and the person in the hood.

“Wifey, get back in the car. I’ll go find Devin. Wait there for us.” Reed said, “I’ll give you the keys,” and he did.

“Okay. Be careful.” Amy said.

Reed went away quickly in front of Emy.

Reed caught up with Devin quickly. The person with the hood ran quickly. Follow Devin and Reed quickly across the highway. A fast-moving car hit Devin and threw him a short distance away.

“Ah, damn!” Devin said. Even though the car that hit him stopped, he didn’t care. Instead, he got back up and ran after Reed and the hooded person.

They went to a busy place. Still, they went after the man in the hood, but suddenly, he disappeared into the crowd.

Emy was waiting in the car. Mark, who was in the back seat, was still sleeping while he was in the front passenger seat.

“What happened to them? What took them so long?” Emy wanted to know.

It surprised Emy when a person in a hood pulls her out of the car after someone opens the door. Emy’s eyes got bigger, and it suddenly covered her mouth so he couldn’t scream while it was hugging her. Emy struggled hard. She stomped her feet and tried to get away, but he couldn’t. Emy’s mind went back quickly to what had happened before they went back through the portal.

Emy wasn’t in the hospital parking lot when Reed and Reed got there. Mark is still asleep. Reed turned his head. He pulled out his phone and tried to call Emy, but he could hear her phone ringing nearby. When Reed looked under the car, he saw Emy’s phone. He takes it right away. It has a crack in the screen and scratches on the body.

“He’s gone for good,” Devin said as he popped up in front of him out of nowhere. “Why? Where is Emy?”

Reed said, “The person in the hood took her.” “Look...”

Devin saw a black smoke trail in the air. “I’ll look for Emy,” Reed said. He suddenly vanishes right in front of Devin.

Reed left Devin in his car. He looked over at Mark, who was soundly sleeping in the car.



“Did you kill the girl?”

Dynhir was eating a pint of ice cream while sitting on the couch. He put his feet up on the table next to the couch. When she heard that the woman who had lived through what his cousin had done the night before had died, she went to talk to her cousin.

“You know that I’m at home all day, cousin,” Dynhir said.

“Well, who did it? You are the only one who can kill the woman. You are the only person who should kill her.”

“I killed him during that fight, but he lived, so why should I kill him again?”

“Damn it, Dyn, you’re making me feel bad,” Eve said, annoyed.

Dynhir smirked. “I’m sorry, cousin. Live your daily lives in this world.”

“How can I do that if you always mess things up?”

“Haist, relax, cousin. I’m safe from Reed. He’s busy at the moment.”

“You mean what?”

Dynhir smiled. “You know, cousin, I don’t think you should fear Reed anymore. He’s weak...”

“What?”

“Believe me. Just ignore him and have fun being a succubus. This place has a lot of food.”

Eve took a deep breath and took the pint of ice cream that Dynhir was holding.



Reed wasn’t able to find Emy. He went back to the top of the building and stood on the edge to get a feel for the area. He has to look for Emy.

“Damn it!”

“I told you not to swear!”

Reed turned to the man in his early 30s with both hands in his pockets.

“I’m glad you’re here. Please help me.”

“Really? Let’s find out if I can help you.”

“I didn’t take Emy away. Someone else did.”

“I’m not sure why you’re looking for him. Didn’t you doubt him earlier?”

“I’ll admit that I had doubts, but they went away as soon as I proved it...”

“What are you asking of me?”

“Show me where he is”

“If you want to see him, you can.”

“Didn’t you take my power?”

“Learn to listen... you won’t see him with your eyes, but with all of your senses.”

“What? What are you saying?”

“You should know that I’m busy, so I can only give you 5 minutes. I’m leaving.”

“Wait,” she said, but the man next to her had already left.

Reed took a deep breath and looked around when the man next to him disappeared. I think it took him almost 30 minutes to figure out where he was.

“Damn it!” Reed grumbled as he ran his finger through his hair.

‘Reed...’

“Emy!” Reed said that he could hear Emy’s voice in the air.

‘Reed, help...’

“Emy!” Reed said, “Then I went away quickly.”

Reed made its way to a temple on the back of the wind. When he walked into the temple, a powerful force pushed him out. Reed landed on the road. Emy was inside the temple and saw him sleeping on the bed. What was he doing there, though?

Reed tried to go back into the temple, but a force stopped him. How many times has it kicked him out of the temple?

Reed said, “Damn it!”

“Reed...”

.....

Reed turned around and saw Devin. He looked sad.

“What do you want to do here? How did you know where I was?”

“Emy said something, and the wind brought me here.”

Reed kept looking at Devin. He didn’t know why Devin was talking to Emy. But he didn’t care about how he felt and looked at the temple again.

“There is a lot of energy around the temple. We can’t get in.”

“What can I do to help Emy?”

He looked at Reed. Devin took a deep breath and tried to go inside, but he was falling back, just like Reed.

“What are we going to do now? We can’t get in.”
