Chapter 7- A Wish for Death.
Boogieman walked slowly to the house on the outskirts of WWE Town. The tall minarets of the large hous rose over the hill gold colored and bight. The Boogieman walked up to the large ornate wooden door an kncoe with the knocker that was in the shape of a man riding a camel.
The doodr opened and the man whos face greated him was full of both the joy of seeing a long time friedn and an horror of fear too. Ranjin Singh spoke in and excited voice "Boogieman, I got you message and I still think its too dangerous for you to be here. You KNOW how he can be, hoe mean, how smart, how down right trecherous and tricky"
"It doesnt matter" Boohgirman said"I have to get the information I need" "If you leave this place without causing the end of the wolrd as we know it, Il be happy" Saiid Ranjim singh as he let Boggieman into the lage house.
"Kalli" Ranim singh called"You have a visiter" "Dont you think I know that you FOOL" Kalli bellowed as he entered the room, his huge form ecliping the door way he justy ducked thoguht. "Ahh dear Mr Boogieman, how may I 'serve' you" The Great kalli's voice was full of bitter devilishnes and evil.
"Im sure you know whay I am here, you seem to know everything you devil, but Ill play your game, herer!" the Boogieman tossed the paper at Kalli's grian hands, "can you tell me what these symbols mean?" The great kalli caught the paper and looked at it.
This was the moement The boolgie mand know wad key. Kalli would never knowlingly help him, but perhaps... perhaps The boogieman could find something in The Great Kalli's reaction to the markings... and the Boogieman got a lot. For just one second a wash of amazement and shock was on Kallies face as jhe looked ath the paper... just a scecond and it was gone, replace by Kalli's consatnt evil facide. No one but a man with years of Psycolohical training could have seen that breaf a reveiling reaction. But Boogieman had that trainting and he read the Kallies face like a book. These symbols could shock even... even... a craeture like HIM!'
"Oh I am so sorry MasterBoogieman" Kallie voice dripped with false sescarity and stank of hate too "I am afraid I cant help you... I mean you do WISH for me to help you read this dont you?"
"NO!" Ranim Sing"Its one of his tricks" "Shut up you son of a desert dog!" Kalli yelled but Boogieman just let out a laugh shot straight at Kallii's face. "You didnt think it woul be THAT easy did you you great mystical monster!'
Kalli roared in anger. His eyes glowed and the room shook with his growl. Hes huge gorm grew even larger as his entire body from the waist down grew hazzy and then turned to smoke. "YOU! YOU! YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY... THE GRAETSET GENIE OF THEM ALL!" The fire from his eyes flew and a spak from one caught a curtain of fire and Ranim Sing quickly put it out.
"I do" said the Boogieman "and I know that as long as I have this last wish, the one you TRIED to trick me into using, you cant heart one hair on the Boogiemans head."
Boogieman tought back. Back to when he was a youn archologist one a dig in the deapest desert in Saudi Arabia. He was there with his Professor Ranim Sing and they discover the earliest know ruin of a desert people. They also discovered a lamp. As soon as Boogieman's hand rubbed across it the being know as The Great Kalli appeared. His deal was the temptation of all temptations. The Boogieman could have anything he wanted. But The Boogieman knew the ways of evil and magic, any lesser man would have crumbled to the tempation but Not Boogieman. He know that any wish he made would have evil ends and that after his 3rd and final wish, the Genie would be free... free to spead more evil in the world... and free to kill The Boogieman for dareing to be his master.
Over the years Boogieman had tripped up. One winter he wished alound just by accident that the house was not so cold. The fire in the house nearly killed all who lived there. Another time as he drifted off to sleep he murmed he wished his neighbors would be quiet so he could get some sleep. They were all killed by buglerars that night, never to make a sound again. This game was nothing but evil and danger so it was agreed that Ranim Sing would live with Kalli undercover in WWE Town posing as a wrestler and staying far away from Boogieman in case another slip of the lips would happen... one that would free Kalli and doom man kind. In fact it had been years sence Boogieman had even been this close to Kalli and he knew he had to watch his mouth arounf the sneeky genie.
"you cant fool me Kalli" Boogieman yelledas Kalligrew larger and smoke and lightning filled the room. "You tricks are for children and I am a man. You dont want to help me fine" Boogieman snached the paper back form the graet Kalli's hans. "Now I have a case to solve" The Boogieman started twards the door.
"Wait" The Great Kalli growedlow and evil "I will help you... no wish needed... maaaaster/" "And why would YOU want to help ME?" Boogieman asked? "Becasue" Kallie said his eye alight with schemes of darkness "What you have there are magic symbols, but not just any magic sysbles. They are of the most darkest and most powerful. There are not enough to read, I can just make out words like youth and blood and a date... October 13 but I know that symbols like those... THOSE symbols... they are of a power even YOU cant confront and live... so go... GO I am glad to help you follow those symbols... for they are a map... a map to your own DOOM! Hahahahahaha!" Kalli laughed as he shurk back down to man size and left the room.
Rainmum Sing was the first to break the silece "I fear for once he is speaking the truth. I could tell as I have had to live with this devil for so long. He rally belives that this case will be your last, that it will end in YOUR end."
Bogoieman pulled the door open and went out into the sun. It beat down on him and remended him that, for now, he was still alive.
'"It may indeed be my end my friend, but I have a lot of work to do to find those kids before then' the Boogieman said as he walked away... "and I think ttis going to take more than a wish and a prayer."
