Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Grieved Souls (2)

Adrian was taking a bath when he received a pack call from Diego. He got out of the tub and got dressed.

He used pack call to answer, ’ You know I can’t leave Diego, not yet, deal with it yourself.’

-------------------------------

Back in Lagos, Diego and Isabella looked at Rosa Sanchez and Diego shook his head. " He can’t come."

Sanchez’s shoulder’s slumped. She gently stroked the aged couple lying in front her. They were currently in the morgue.

The dead couple were Sanchez’s parents and both of them had died the same way. Sanchez believed it was a murder.

Her parents were rich so it stood to reason that there would be people looking to kill them.

However the longer she learnt of the circumstances of their deaths, the less inclined she was to believe this was caused by humans.

And then Fluffy came close to the corpses for the first time and started growling. Her tail slapped her as a sign.

Sanchez immediately knew the supernatural were involved in this. She first thought it were vampires.

After all, she had once worked with Adrian and the werewolves eight years ago, maybe they were taking their anger out on her.

So she called the only two werewolves she could contact but they told him vampires weren’t involved.

Sanchez left the morgue, she was still of mind that the vampires were behind this and until somebody confirmed otherwise, she wasn’t changing her mind.

Diego and Isabella followed her, Sanchez cut down wood and made wooden stakes. The two werewolves looked at each other.

" What exactly do you think you’re going to do with that?" Isabella asked but Sanchez didn’t answer.

" I’m telling you the vampires weren’t involved in this, you’re just going to get yourselves killed."

Sanchez finally looked at them, " If you’re not going to help me, then stay out of my way."

She was about to leave when Isabella grabbed her shoulder. This made Fluffy growl.

Over the past eight years, she had gotten much closer to Sanchez, even closer than she was to the werewolves.

Isabella just glared at Fluffy causing the poor dog to whimper and lie down. " I didn’t say we wouldn’t help you."

Sanchez was confused, then Diego gave her a ticket to the underworld and they crushed it forming a gate.

Fluffy was a Gadra therefore she didn’t need a ticket, she was more of a pet. The three of them plus Fluffy went through.

As soon as they reached the other side, Sanchez looked up and saw a stone face glaring down at her.

" What’s you looking at heh heh? You wanna go you imp, we can go now I tell ya." The troll guard barked at her.

This made Sanchez flinch, it was her first time seeing a troll and thought it really wanted to kill her.

" Don’t mind them." Sanchez grabbed her hand and pulled her leaving the troll yelling alone.

They ran towards the base of the werewolves. Sanchez was caught off guard when she saw floods of different races.

The first floor of the guild had also been turned into a bar so there were always people even if they weren’t looking for a mission.

They led her upstairs while hiding her face in case somebody recognises her. After all the vampires already knew of her.

However her presence still drew attention, after all, she was a normal human which was being rare in the black market.

Not even a human from the realm beyond the mist but one from the human world. A place know to lack the knowledge of the supernatural.

But none of them said anything, the guild had its rules and nobody wanted to break those rules.

Sanchez found Adrian eating, she was surprised by his appearance. He looked older.

Not much older than before but more matured. A bit taller and a stronger jawline. He looked handsome.

Adrian put down his fork and turned towards her then smiled. " You’ve aged detective."

----------------------------------

Somewhere in a large city, a middle aged looking man was brushing his teeth while on the phone.

" Yeah I heard, it’s quite a pity, they were also my greatest clients, tomorrow I will contact their daughter."

A voice came from the other end making the man irritated. " I know I know, the papers are ready, she won’t suspect anything.

I’ve went to great lengths to forge the signatures of her parents, all that fortune will be ours.

Nobody will ever know, you worry too..." He froze. He looked into the mirror and started shaking.

" No no no, this is not real, you’re not real." He dropped his phone and started backing off slowly.

" Hello, us everything okay, what’s happening? Should I call the cops?" The voice on the other end asked.

But this middle aged gentleman couldn’t hear anything. In the mirror was an image of a nightmare.

Instead of his own reflection, a young woman covered in blood was looking back at him.

" Please, please leave me alone, it wasn’t my fault, it wasn’t my fault." He ran out the bathroom to his living room.

When he looked back the woman was gone, he took a deep breath. " A dream, it was a dream."

He sat down and closed his eyes but as soon as his eyelids closed he felt as if his eyes were burning.

He opened them and the pain disappeared, he felt tears streaming down his cheeks and he wiped them off.

But instead of the salty water, what he saw was blood. He stood up in jokt, his heart almost seized by fear.

He blinked and the burning pain returned. " No no no no, no this can’t be happening." He rushed out the door.

But instinctually he blinked and felt the burning pain in his eyes again making him scream.

He opened his eyes wide trying his best not to blink. He rushed to his car and started driving.

He drove to the nearest hospital as fast as he possibly can. When he got there he requested to see the doctor immediately.

He was a famous lawyer and most people knew him. The nurses didn’t dare stop him and a doctor saw him as soon as possible.

" My eyes, doctor my eyes, I feel like they’re burning and when I close them I cry blood, tears of blood doctor please, you have to help."

" Okay okay sir calm down, look at me, let me see what’s wrong."

The lawyer looked up but what he saw was a bloody face of a woman. " Ahhh." He screamed and fell off the hospital bed."

" Sir, are you okay." The doctor grabbed him and he struggled out of his grasp. Then he be looked back and realised the doctor was normal.
