Alex quickly with his force, he pushed his other left hand inside the mirror with the energy he had been left with just to save him. Lyn and Linet too rushed towards him and helped by dragging him behind cause what seemed that was dragging Luca, it had more strength than them. After so hard in trying, at last Luca was dragged out but with so many bruises from the mirror. They moved him away from the spot trying to check his pulse but in a second or a minute, he started breathing. His dizzy eyes scanned everywhere not believing that he's still alive. Quickly Lyn hugged him tightly tears forming from her eyes. With just one look from Linet's eyes, she knew too that Alex was hurt. His hands were filled with blood and the small cuts couldn't get hidden as blood starts coming out of the bruises.
' Am sorry brother, l couldn't help you. I thought that l have lost you.' Lyn cried still in his embraced.
' Big girl is crying, huh! What a story to write. What if that thing could have snatched me wholly, would you still be crying like a mad woman.' Luca fired with a grin from his face.'
' Shut up mongoose. The fact that you're still with me here safe and sound now my heart can rest. I can't see loosing anyone, thank you so much Alexander.' her words were like mocking Alex due to the situation that they were in. Drew and Andy just stood at the door without saying a word. Lyn out of nowhere, threw herself in Alex's arms immediately getting him unaware. With a questioning look from his face, he forgot that he is supposed to hug her back that he shove her arms away, moving away from her strong embrace.
' What's wrong? Did l offended you with my embrace?'
' No, am just....am just.....l mean....not comfortable.' he struggled with the words. Anyway, we should start planning on how to execute this thing as soon as possible or all of us.....di....die.'
' No, don't be such a pessimist, man, though we are seeing more dangers ahead, it doesn't mean we all gonna die, some might survive unlike me, my death is always ringing in my ears and gets me offguard. I might die sooner or later.' Luca rambled immediately noticing what he just said.'
' Tsc, this thing is driving me insane. I can't help to walk out of these messy....
' Guys, it's awakening. It's getting more strength.' Andy shouted trying to open the door.'
When they both turned their heads towards the mirror, all of them couldn't believe what they were seeing. The shadow in the mirror was there staring at them then before they could go back to reality, the mirror itself started cracking little by little. The shadow started humming some unknown sounds as the mirror continues to break. While they were still debating whether to move or not, Drew's voice made them to move even if their legs had no strength.'
' Run! it's breaking. The mirror will shutter into pieces and those pieces are the most deadly weapons and even worse than any strong poison. Run! Run guys!' he screamed as they both push each other on the way. Luca obviously being the last person to run, the mirror broke and he stood their watching, even though Alex was trying to push him away. After the shuttering, all the pieces didn't fall on the floor but they floated in the air aiming Luca. Alah's position was now standing on the frame but behind her, it seemed like she was living inside a dark dungeon. The pieces quickly were directed towards his side, trying to kill him but he bend down dodging one piece though it didn't scratch him. He ran out without wasting another second following others.
' Heeey! Why are you going to the fields. We should go look for Mr Tan Woo, right.' he shouted catching up with them. He drooped downwards breathing heavily as he calm his beating heart slowly.'
' What's up, need help? Andy asked.
' Nop, am strong than you can think of dude, he, he, he! As you can see am still breathing like before, am not old.' he bragged as Drew leads the way towards Mr Tan Woo's house. They walked hurriedly in the darkness, as the streetlights only respond to their pleading. As they move more closer, they saw a dim light inside a certain house and that's when Andy spoke.
' It's late and the old man hasn't slept yet. Was he especting our visit or someone?'
' I don't think so asshole. It's usually normal to find old people sleeping late. I don't know why they do stay up till late.' Luca obviously being a talker, replied with a small chuckle.'
They stood at his entrance door for some seconds, then Andy knocked only to hear a small groan from inside.
' Mr Tan Woo! Mr Tan Woo! Are you there? He asked his hears eavesdropping.
' What's up kid, why is your soul still wandering at this time of the night.' A strong voice echoed coming closer. His foot steps were heard making them to move backwards as the door Infront of them opens widely. To his surprise, his eyes looked at the scary creatures standing right Infront of him and he knew something was owful.
' Go sleep, have no time for kids.' he said closing the door forcefully but Andy stopped it with his leg. His eyes scanned them slowly, then he dropped his gut, letting them in one by one.'
A short silenced paused inside making him to understand the main agenda especially when his eyes caught Lyn and her friends. He rubbed his chin slowly then his body leaned forward scanning them again as if calculating something.
' So, what's the main problem at this time? He cleared his throat even though he knew what was wrong.'
' Who is Alah?'
