DINNING WITH THE DEVIL

"Melody are you okay?". Anita asked

"Am fine". Rasps reply

"Okay".

…. Behind closes doors

"What do you want from me". fegrance appear

"Am so glad that you are doing this".

"I can't hurt my friend".

"I want you to destroy Mena … break her… leave her chattered".

"Isn't she already suffering".

"No! her sufferings are yet to begin… I would consume her".

"What do you want me to do".

"Oh my dear child so many things…. You would get me all three books".

"What's books".

"Just go with the flow".

"Fine!". She disappeared. Melody walked out of the room, watching if anyone was coming. Acting normal

"Where have you been".

"Sleeping".

"We went to the room we did not see there".

"Well, I wasn't sleeping in the room".

"Melody why are you lying to us".

Chuckles…. "I don't understand".

"We are your friends".

"Who said you weren't… please". She got up and walked away".

"What's wrong with her?".

"I don't know

State of reminisce

"Why is melody acting this way". She wondered. Hands on her chin, thinking. Reminisce fegrance saying

"I know one of you have Richards powers". Remembers 7rings telling her to collect the crystals. FB of Richard and his family, being grateful that he actually lost his powers, after the kiss. FB of how melody reacted to fegrance disappearance, just the same way, she reacts when zyron enters her to whispered something. FB of melody's recent behaviors.

She got up from her bed

"I need to start asking questions now". She said walked away

"Who is that…. Come in". he yelled

"What are you doing here?". Richard asked

"Sup Anita".

"Good morning…. Can I talk to you Richard?".

Sighs…. "Fine!".

"What do you want?".

"When did you lost your powers".

"Why do you want to know that?".

"You would be saving a life… just tell".

"When I was 3".

"Recently!".

"New year day". Quick flash back. She got up

"Thank you". she rushed out

"Is she okay? What did she say". Justin asked. Bereft of word

Exile…. "Hello! Who is here". 7rings appeared

"Why are you trespassing child".

"Am sorry! I have a lot of questions to asked…. the crystals I collected that day…. Belongs to who".

"Our grandson".

"Richard is your grandson!". She exclaims

"How did you get here".

"It's a long story…. But we would tell you".

…. After briefing the whole story

"How can I give Richard back his powers?".

"You have to kiss him".

Inhales deeply "Thank you".

"So, it's all connected…zyron. speaking of zyron, where is she?".

"Now what…. No zyron. if am able to use Richards powers well… I would be able to know what in melody's mind… and how to help her. She's still my friend". State of soliloquy
