TREOWS Demon

A rough monday.

It's the first work day of the week,

we are in a pick up station waiting for a commercial vehicle,

me and my co-workers Sam and John.

The sky is cloudy and its getting a bit darker,

" today will be a rainy day," i said,

John answered,

John: yes; we should have wait for the rain at home,

sam: we should have, it's late now.

John was the brain behind our plans for the day,

he called me and Sam for the work we are heading to,

he is also my best friend, we both went to college,

we also learned the trees felling job we are doing,

Sam is our third friend, he just moved in to my

neighbourhood some months ago, we both became friends

when I heard about his profession,

he is also doing the same job that am doing,

John: here comes a bus.

we hurriedly rushed into the bus and almost fell in a pit hole covered with water.

The time is half past eight when we arrived

at a small village near a government reserved forest,

John: we have to see a friend of mine in this village

before we head to the forest.

Sam: we shouldbtake some rest when we get there?

John: of course.

me: maybe I will have my lunch too.

on our way in the village we didn't see anyone at all,

John: unusual, were is everyone?

Sam: Today is a rainy day, no one would want to be in the forest now or at the market, so people would like to be in their house on a rainy day like today, maybe that's case.

finally we got there.

John: knock knock at the door.

who's there!!

someone answered

John: good morning sir, my name is John,

I have an appointment with the chief this morning.

door opened, a loud cracking

sound was coming from the door's frame,

finally someone came out.

housemaid: good morning sir.

John: good morning.

John: we have an appointment with the chief this morning,

is he awake?

stranger: yes, he will be with you soon, you can take your seats in the reception.

John: thanks.

stranger: this way.

we all followed her to the reception and took our seats,

five minutes later,

we heard footsteps coming towards the reception,

someone entered,

we are all amazed by this old man appearance,

he was putting on a white armless shirt,

a short brown pant, an eyes shade,

and a white tennis boot.

chief: good morning gentlemen.

good morning sir, we answered.

John: wow your look is like that of a 20 year old man sir,

chief: "age is just a number" son!

we all burst into laughter.

Chief: my friend i hope you are here with our agreement.

John: of course sir.

John takes out a bail of money out from his back pack and gives it to the chief.

Chief: smiled and started counting, 5,6,7,8,10,20,30,40,50

you just sealed our agreement my friend, when will you start working in the forest?

John: tomorrow morning sir.

Sam: can we take a look at the trees today sir.

he asked the chief.

Chief: no problem at all.

the chief calls one of his guards, he told him to guide

us through the forest,

we set out for the survey, there nothing much

to worry about on our way,

but when we steeped into the forest,

my mind keeps telling me that there are people watching us from behind, I slightly turns to the

we started observing some strange feelings,

Sam: i think i saw someone behind that tree,

he pointed straight ahead of us,

John replied,

John: am not a first timer in here,

and I haven't seen anyone since my first time here.

i signed at John with a smiling face

we both burst into laughter.

John: are you having paradolia or what,

or are you just scared of the forest.

Sam noticed the sarcasm.

Sam: i won't say i did if i didn't,

I glanced at the guards face, he is not saying anything

and seems to be afraid of something, but he is trying to be calm.

the guards took us straight to the trees we just bought,

Sam: wow, big trees for a hefty price.

the trees are large ones, these will go for a big price I said

we love the trees because they will be good on sale with a lot of profit, after all we are lumberjackers.

we made some clearings on the tree bases and called it a day

and went back to the chiefs residence he gave us a room to store our equipment in.

there is nothing much for the day, it's sunset already,

we should get going, i suggested.

Sam: yeah.

John: there is a pick up station nearby, i hope we get there in time,

me: i hope so.

we made it to the station and got back home that day, for the following day not knowing what is about to happen the next day.

Do you want to know who started the fight and how it began between human and fairly demons? watch out for the next chapter,

peace be with you.
