I'll Be Watching

Aaron's hands were already in the air dropping the codex. Anqa slowly raised one hand as she used the other to reach behind her and grabbed a smoke bomb. She threw it hard on the ground and everywhere was enveloped in thick smoke.

"Don't *cough cough* move!!", A cop called out choking on the smoke. The smoke cleared of. Anqa and edge were gone. Aaron looked around confused.

"Aiish! They left me", he muttered frustrated, disappointed. He looked at his feet and there lay the sinister looking black codex....

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning", an officer blurted out while carefully taking Aaron's hands from the air and handcuffed them behind him. Their were police Vans and cars everywhere. The whole place was deafening with sirens and cops shouting on top of their lungs. Forensics were everywhere taking photos of dead bodies and the beast's body which lay by the pool.

Everything was blurry to Aaron. His mind was not present. He was angry that he was left behind without a second thought. The officer gently pushed his head down into his car and drove away. Aaron just sat quietly, his head against the window looking at cars as they passed. He was awfully quiet as he reflected on everything that just happened, The cyclops, the Bloodlust which he remembered every moment of, the vivid visions which showed he was the son of some demi God from the past who was trying to kill him due to a curse and he that he was a twin to an emotionless maniac who had tried to kill him.

'should I believe all this?', he wonders.

"I think my weird life just cranked up a notch", he muttered.

"Huh? What did you say boy?", The officer asked staring into the rear view mirror to look at him. Aaron ignored him still staring out the window.

They arrived at the station and he was led to an interrogation room with a two-way mirror. He was handcuffed to the table and was left alone there.

After a while an investigator came in and sat opposite him staring at him keenly. He dropped a tape recorder on the table and gently pressed a button

"Am I being arrested? Cause I didn't do nothing", Aaron said sitting up.

"Oh my, who handcuffed you. Am so sorry about that. We only brought you in for questioning. You don't have to answer any of my questions", the investigator stood up and uncuffed him.

"fucking pigs",Aaron muttered inaudibly rubbing his wrists.

"My name is Paul, investigator Schweps Paul. You can just call me Paul. Seems you are the only survivor from that bloodbath massacre innit. And somehow, you don't seem to have a single scratch on you", the investigator said looking him over as he sat. Aaron ignored him looking away. Schweps Paul was a know British investigator who had cracked so many cases in the past. He was in his early 40s. He had a neat bowl cut and a stubby beard.

"That was your party yes?", He asked.

"I need a lawyer", Aaron said clenching his fists, sounding annoyed.

"Well you don't need a lawyer since you are not being arrested", Paul answered calmly.

"look boy, people died tonight, kids like you, some are even your friends. We just need to get to the bottom of this. We need to know what happened and who or what killed the animal. I don't give a dog's bollocks on how you are feeling right now. I need answers", Paul said looking him dead in the eyes.

"A cyclops", he muttered.

"Huh? What was that boy?", Paul asked straining to hear what he said.

"It's no animal and you know this too. You just refuse to comprehend the fact that it's a cyclops", he said grimly.

Paul opened his mouth to say something but a knock came from the door. The door opened and an officer peeped in.

"His parents are here and are demanding his release like immediately", the officer said coming in fully.

"I guess we'll have to wrap this up boy. We have no right to actually detain you. We just needed an eye witness that's all", Paul said getting up from his seat.

" Em wait Paul", Aaron called out, "was there any book found on the site? A black bizarre looking book", he asked trying not to be suspicious.

"I think something like that came in. It should be at the forensics lab with the beast. The book wouldn't open like it was stuck with glue or something. Do you have any idea where it came from? ", Paul asked looking at him suspiciously. He knew since he asked about the book then there's something he's not saying.

"Oh well I em... I saw the book lying around. It looked too sinister to ignore",he lied.

" Very well then boy. Run along. I've got my eyes on you. I'll be watching. I know there's something you are not telling", Paul said sitting on the table, his back turned on him. Aaron got up slowly then walked for the door. He saw Paul looking at him from the corner of his eyes. He ignored him and walked out of the room.

Immediately he came out he saw Jake and Brandon sitting at a cubicle talking to an officer. They saw him and both rushed towards him almost pushing him down with their hug.

"Oh man, we thought we lost you. We went straight to get help. I'm so sorry we had to leave you there. I know you must be feeling we are bad friends for leaving but... ", Brad couldn't finish as he pitched in, "It's okay Brad, I asked you guys to go. Besides I'm alright", he said tapping him gently on the back.

" But Ron, how the fuck do you not have a single scratch on you man", Jake asked looking him over. He opened his mouth to say something but his mom's voice interrupted as she came running from an opposite door, his father standing by the door as he closed it behind.

"Ron!!", She called out. His friends moved out of the way. She hugged him like a baby as she wept.

"It's alright mom, I'm okay. I'm not hurt", he said patting her gently on the back.

" I... I was so worried when the police called. I... I thought I lost you", she said in shaky voice. She pulled away from him looking him over to see if he is wounded. Then hugged him again.

"Let's go", his father said grimly as he walked past them. He didn't even look their way. Aaron knew he was angry and he was going to get an ear full as soon as they get home. His mom pulled away from him wiping her face with her palm. She followed his father out.

"Ron, you've got to tell us every single thing that happened. Like everything", Brad pestered about him.

" Yh man, we need to hear. Your life sure is weird", Jake teased holding his shoulder as they all walked out of the station.

Paul just stared on grimly from the door way as they drove away. There is something about Aaron that make him wonder.

"I don't trust you one bit blond cunt. I'll get to the bottom of this you'll see. I know you know something", he muttered to himself as he stared on.
