THE LOST CHILD 4.
The next day I woke up early to talk to Wyatt about Pierce.
What shocked me was something I saw.
A lifeless body.
Auntie Phoebe's body.
Pierce was sobbing beside her.
"Pierce, what happened? Who killed her?" I asked.
"How dare you ask? You killed her! I told you I did not kill your dad neither your mum. Why must you do this to my mother? She was the only I had. Now you killed her. You took her away from me," Pierce said.
Again I was accused as the murderer.
"I did not. I swear," I tried to explained.
"Don't lie. You killed her because you hated her for accusing you! I will make sure you pay for this," Pierce said as he stared at me furiously.
I was really angry now.
Why is he accusing me all the time?
"That's enough, Pierce. Don't push your luck. My parents died. I am extremely upset. You can deny that you killed them but you can't run away from the truth," I warned.
"Don't change the topic. You killed my mum. She is right here," Pierce said, pointing at Auntie Phoebe's body.
"So what if I killed her? What are you planning to do about it? Kill me? Like how you killed both my parents?" I said out of anger.
"You finally admitted. Take this!" Pierce hurled a fireball at me.
Lucky for me, I orbed out and appeared behind him.
Since he was rude to me, I will be the same too.
I kicked him and used telekinesis on him.
He flew out of the window and landed at our porch.
I smiled and orbed there but what surprised me was I wasn't at the porch.
I landed at the Elder's place. I was lying at a concrete bed.
I can't feel a thing.
I was numbed.
"Let me go! What is this?" I cried.
An Elder walked towards me. "Calmed down, young man," he said.
"Calm? How am I supposed to calm down? I was about win. My parents' murderer is out there. I need to do this. Let me go if you respect me," I said sternly.
"Sorry. I need to keep you here until you are fully healed. I can't tell you the real reason. I am asked to help you and I will," he said.
"I need to get my revenge!" I yelled at him. I struggled hard but it was futile. I can hardly move.
"Chris! All I can tell you is Pierce did not kill your parents. Don't ask who. I am asked to keep it as a secret until time comes," the Elder said. I was stunned.
Was he lying or am I so naive that I thought Pierce was a murderer?
No, he lied.
The fingerprint was Pierce.
Elders are evil.
They could be liars too.
Elder did took dad away from his family, from me.
I lived without a father and I hated it.
Being insulted at class or teased by peers was suffering.
I made up my mind. I will escape myself.
So I focused my mind and telekinesis the Elder away.
Unexpectedly, others came and helped him.
They shocked me with lightning.
It hurts but it will not weaken my determination to escape and kill Pierce.
It was day three, I begin to lose hope.
I couldn't escape.
I was caught in every attempt.
I did give a strong fight but they are too many.
I can't win and ended up being beaten.
My limbs were weak and bruises were everywhere on my body.
Wyatt, where are you? Help me….
