Rosario:
I still have resentment for Denahi, I still remember what he did to me, I still feel his physical all over and inside of my body.
But...
It's so confusing.
After what happened last night...I feel that my trauma has just disappeared.
I mean, when I saw my brother being dragged back, when he showed his fear through his screams and his look...I just forgot about what he did and...
Only the good things about him came to my mind.
I was scared to loose my twin-wolf.
I take my totem from my shirt and open it up. I see at the left the photo of my parents the day of their wedding, then at the right there's a picture of all my brothers together.
"Hey"
I look up and see Kenai by my side. We're outside of the house on the entrance of the backyard.
"May I join you?"
"Be my guest"
He sits by my side as I look back at the pictures of my totem. I feel Kenai placing a hand on my shoulder, normally I would have react defensive. But as I said before, is really confusing.
"(Kenai giggles)"
"What?"
"I'm just happy to see you don't react to touching anymore"
"Well...since what happened last night...Is like my trauma has just disappeared out of nothing"
"Really?"
"Yes, I still thinking about what he did to me, but I'm not afraid anymore"
Suddenly Kenai does something really unusual, he hugs me and places his head on my shoulder. This makes me smile and then I place my head over his.
"You know...last night before that... I had a strange dream" Kenai
"About what?"
"Well...
I was in a creepy forest running from something, when I heard Koda's voice. He was calling for help, so I ran guided by his voice. Until I finally saw him, he was in the ground trying to escape from something...
And there It was: The demon Esmeralda told us about, Asmodeus.
He was about to attack Koda but I stepped in first, then the demon stood there...watching me. Next to that I saw the little girl's ghost. She was pointing at my chest but then Saya woke me up."
"Do you think it means something?"
He just shrug his shoulders.
"I wish they were here"says my brother at seeing my totem.
"Me too, I miss them a lot. That's why we have to stick together now more than ever."
Suddenly I feel like a small headache. I close my eyes as I put a hand on my forehead.
"Are you alright?"Kenai asks me worried.
"I just felt dizzy. It's over now"
Maybe it's because of missing of sleep.
I feel my phone buzzes, I pick it up and I see a message from Merida in the friend group. But also Kenai trying to snitch on my phone.
"Metiche" I tell him as I turn my back on him.
Bear-Archer: Hey! My parents are going to Scotland the whole week and they let me do a sleepover! Who's up?
Dragon-Warrior: Cool! Let me just tell my parents and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible.
Ape-Guardian: Yo I'm down girl! Let's have some fun!
Wolf-Spirit: Thanks, but I think I'll pass. Sorry :(
Bear-Archer: Oh don't worry Chayo, I understand.
Ape-Guardian: Remember we're here for you girl. Anything you need.
Dragon-Warrior: How you've been doing anyway?
Wolf-Spirit: It's been hard even if it's been a month.
Ape-Guardian: Whatever you need to talk about, we are here for you Chayo.
Bear-Archer: Always.
This is why I love my friends so much, they're always there for me as I'll always be there for them. They are my best friends since I was little, I wouldn't change them for anyone else in the world.
Later that night
It's 03:00am, I can't sleep, I have so many things in my mind right now. I try to fall asleep by closing my eyes and relax all my body, after a moment I think it's working.
I feel more relaxed, like if I was in a pool swiming on my back or even...flying.
Yes, is more that, flying, and it feels really good that it makes me even smile.
I slowly open my eyes when I feel a wall in my face. But then my heart comes out of my chest when I realize that I'm on the ceilling. I yelp at the moment I fall on my bed, my heartbeat is too intense right now. I'm even panting.
(Little girl's laugh)
Sitka:
The puzzle is almost complete, each forty years new residents come to live in this place. All of them families of five people with struggles and looking for a new beginning. The house ends up being haunted by a demon and marks the new arrivals as his new victims. The three eldest go through a ritual of six days, one per cycle, and on the sixth day the victim dies. Next the youngest victim ends up being sacrificed by his older relative. And finally, the last victim is killed from the inside by the demon.
"Hey Sitka"
"Aaahh! Don't do that!"
I didn't see or hear Brittany behind me.
"Can I know what are you doing?" she asks me as she sees the documents in the table, then I start to pick them up.
"Is none of your business"
"Come on, why you have to be so rude with me?"
"Maybe because you haven't stop harassing me since I came here or you've been harassing my brother in the streets."
"Oh so I can't try to hang out with you but your brother can fuck your little sister, right?"
Her words make me stop and I sent her a shocked look.
"How the fuck you know that?"
"Guess you can't trust that much a gypsy."
There's no way, Esmeralda would never...
No, she's lying.
"I imagine that you love your brother that much for putting him behind bars"
Oh now she's going too far. If Dad hadn't raise me on respecting women I would probably have her neck in my hand already.
I just grab my stuff and walk back to the car. Once inside I drive back home, while a theory comes to my mind.
In one of the documents was written a phrase in Latin: Domitius Caesar Legatos Xti Violenter Interfecit. Which means: Domitius Caesar violently killed the ambassadors of Christ. The first letters abbreviate as DCLXVI, in roman number...666. The mark of the beast...
Hold on...999 Salem's avenue...
Oh no.
I get home and I'm welcomed by Rosario on the entrance. She looks worried.
"Hey sis, I just found out something-"
"Sitka..."
"What is it?"
Rosario turns her back on me, she removes the hair from her neck and...I see the mark. She faces me again, now with fear on her eyes. I just pull my sister to my chest and wrap my arms around her. She does the same with me.
"I'm fucked up."
"No you're not. I won't let anything else happens to you, I swear."
