The Demon Lord, Haruko- Chapter Nineteen
----------------------
The creatures' rampage left the beings with only one possible answer
----------------------
The sun rose, shining upon the world. The past night had been etched into Virginia's mind.
However, a stronger thought floated on her conscious. It was of her father. That same night, Virginia had a dream, a dream she had trouble remembering.
"I see. From what you've both explained, the demon was killed, but you both have no idea how you survived?"
Todd nodded. "I remember being impaled by Ovius, I remember dying. So, how am I alive?"
Jet leaned against the wall, listening to the entire conversation. "We could've asked Morgan, but he's gone."
Clive nodded. "Yes. He most likely could've helped in this."
Jet rubbed his forehead slowly. "I have to get some air. See ya."
Clive nodded as his comrade walked out of the house.
Virginia awoke slowly, taking in the many thoughts her mind was compressing very slowly. Her head felt heavy, throbbing.
She slowly sat up, glancing around.
"Open wide, this will be good for you," Catherine stated as she and Kaitlin attempted to help Gallows eat. He said he could not move his right arm, which was very unbelievable.
Virginia slightly smiled at this, as if it were a sign of happiness. She stood up and walked to the living room, amazed at what she saw. Todd was alive! She was sure she saw him die.
"Todd... you're alive."
Todd nodded. "Hello Miss Virginia. Yeah, it's very strange."
She sat next to him on the sofa, slowly rubbing her throbbing head.
"What're you two talking about?" Virginia asked glancing at both of them.
"We were discussing the aftermath of yesterday. However, we are still not sure how any of this came to be. Both Todd and Jet explained they were sure they died."
Virginia's eyes widened. "Jet's alive?"
Clive nodded. "Well yes. He left a few minutes ago."
Virginia stood up. "I'll be right back." She quickly sped out the door, leaving Todd and Clive speechless. "This past week has been the strangest," Clive stated. Todd nodded in agreement.
Jet closed his eyes as he stopped under a tree. "I still have those three Magnum bullets. I guess it was all in my mind. Our minds really were compressed. This is all too confusing," he thought as Virginia ran over to him.
"You really are alive!" she exclaimed as she grasped Jet's arm in a slight hug.
Jet blinked a few times, clearing his head. "What're you doing?" he asked as she slowly let go.
Virginia began to blush. "Oh, sorry... I'm just so glad that you and Todd are alive."
Jet glanced at the ground. "So, I'm presuming you did that with Todd too?"
"Of course!" Virginia replied, backing away. "Its all right. You just interrupted me," Jet stated, walking back to Clive's home, Virginia following.
When they returned, Clive was reading to Kaitlin and Todd seemed to be sketching something.
Gallows was snoring, seemingly asleep, while Catherine had begun cooking.
Virginia rubbed her forehead, saying she was going to take a small nap. Seeing nothing else to do, Jet sat beside Todd and watched him sketch.
"Is there something the matter?" Todd asked, still focusing on the paper. Jet shook his head. "No, I'm fine, just a little tired."
Todd set the pencil aside and held up his work. "So, what did you draw?" Jet asked.
Todd turned the paper around for the Drifter to see. "It's nothing important, just a mindless sketch."
The picture portrayed a small figure standing on a cliff overlooking a small town.
"See? Like I said, nothing special."
Jet closed his eyes.
"Todd, I know we only just met, but, do you think I'm meant for something?"
Todd donned a confused expression. "Well, Mr. Jet, I don't know. I'm not really the best person to discuss your destiny about."
Jet nodded. "Sorry, I just... have a lot of things on my mind."
Later that evening, Catherine brought out dinner for the entire group. The group viewed it as a celebration, as well as a farewell gesture, considering they would separate.
About an hour later, dinner had been finished, allowing Jet to take a walk. Clive had decided to help his family clean, leaving Gallows to go to sleep. Todd began to read, and Virginia decided to go outside for a while.
Jet walked to the entrance of the town. He leaned against the brick wall, attempting to think.
"Feeling a bit depressed Mr. Enduro?"
Jet's eyes opened quickly, scanning the area. He glanced around, trying to locate the source of the voice. "Don't worry you didn't imagine it, I'm right here."
He quickly turned, noticing Virginia entering the area.
"You... survived... How?"
Virginia smiled. "It was easy Mr. Enduro. I simply transferred my mind to another host. I had to find the one whose mind was weak, as well as trouble. I have to spare as much of my energy as I can. So, I stumbled upon Miss Maxwell. Don't worry, she's all right, I just decided to speak with you a moment."
"What do you want?"
"My revenge. However, I will not stop. I will use this body if I must, and besides, I can somewhat feel demonic energy already in this body."
Jet gritted his teeth. "Now what do I do?!"
