Chapter-9<Planning-3>

When the old granny said that it was El-chupacabra that did all of this, everyone looked at the granny with contempt. They all knew that this old bag of bones was simple nut-bag that believed in the scary bed time tales that they use to tell children before bed. Some of her stories liretally was stuff out of nightmare, but they all knew whatever she said was bull shit.

"There is no such thing as El-cupacabra." Bowman said with a annoyed expression on his face.

"Yes there is. When I was little I had a sister called Anny and she was taken by that monster as his bride. I know what I am talking about." The old granny refuted back.

"You had a brother. And no other sibling. There was no such person as Anny in our family." One of the woman said to the granny.

"Who is Anny?" the old granny asked the woman.

"ENOUGH! A woman and kid is missing. We are here to discuss about what should we do next. So everyone just concentrate on the task at hand." Jared barked angrily.

"What should we do chief?" one of the women asked.

"We need to get out of here. At first I thought that we would be able to rebuild our village. But because of this monster we may be not able to do so." Jared said mumbling.

"But it would be sucide if we go out there now. The snow had started falling. And who knows when it stop. And if a storms comes then we would be in very bad state if we are out there." Bowman said.

"Then what can we do? The doors of the inn were not made of iron. But they were still sturdy enough so that it would have harder for anyone to break it. But that monster not only broke the door, but also took one of the boys from the inn. That action speaks for itself. We are not safe in the inn." Justin said.

"But there are children, elderly and women here. They don't have what it takes to travel out in such a weather. Plus that dark night destroyed all of our travelling equipment. So then how the hell are we suppose to travel?" Bowman asked

"So what you are saying is that we cant stay here. And also we cant move? Does that mean that we would die here?" one of the woman from the crowd spoke. And with here sentence the whole crowd started riling up….

…

Fabian in the basement was hearing all the conversation that was taking place in the reatraurant. But his main concern was the ringing sound that he was hearing. He was looking throught all of the stuff in the basement but he was still not able to determine where the hell that sound was coming from. But then he figured it out.

He sensed that the sound of the bell was coming from the wall in the basement. He was so confused as he didn't understand why the sound of the bell was coming from the wall. But it was then he realised that there was something weird of the wall.

Fabian saw that the whole wall was covered in he green alage. But there was a brick in the wall that although was coved in grenn alagae, it looked as though it had been cleaned muutilple times. Fabian noticed and started inspecting that brick. And he soon realized that the brick was loose. He could just grab the brick out of the wall.

When Fabian took the brick from the wall he saw that he space behind the brick was hollow. It was not a very large space, but it had a whit color sack stuffec inside it. And Fabian could absoulety tell that the ringing sound of a bell was coming from inside the bag. Without any hesitation, Fabian grabbed the sac and took it out.

As he made sure that the riging sound was indeed coming through the sac, he grabbed the bag and went straight towards his office. He peaked inside and saw that everything was just a he left it. But there was a thin layer of dust in whole office. Fabian ignored the dust and went straight to his table. He then opened the sac on his table so that he could see its contents.

Fabian saw that the sac was full of silver and bronze coins. While there were jewellery here and there. And amongst all that, there was a red color ring. Fabian recognised that ring instantly as that was the ring that demon gave Maria to hide. And to his surpise the ringing of bell sound was coming from the ring.

Fabian was a little confused. He couldn't understand as why or how the hell this ring was making such noise which was making him go crazy. Then as soon as fabian touched the ring, the ringing sound stopped altogether. As the ringing stopped he felt better. Then he turned back to sense where are the people of the inn.

He didn't wanted to be seen by anyone. So he looked back and tried to sense and hear what these guys were doing. It was then he sensed that the majority of people were now not on the ground floor. They all must have retreated to above floors. While there some people on the ground floor. He could hear the sounds of hammers and something heavy being moved. He assumed that these guys must be reparing the hole that he made when he kidnapped the kid.

As Fabian sensed that there was no one in the vicinity, he started going out of the inn. He didn't want to get caught here in his office. So he started sneaking out. While going out, he made sure that he blocked the back door with a bunch of heavy stuff. And then he broke the hinges of the door. This way he made sure that he had a way back to inn. He blocked the door from inside so that no one noticed the fact that the hinges of that door were missing.

Now with a bag full of coins and jewellery, Fabian made his way out of the inn. After some time he returned back to the broken house in which he was staying before. Then he sat there and took out the ring that he found earlier. He was curious about the ring. Fabian was not able to rap his head aroud the fact that a small ring such as this was making that bell ringing sound.

It was a ring. It is not suppose to do that. And how in the world was he able to hear the sound of that bell from here? What about the people of the inn? Were they not able to hear the sound of the bell? This just dosent make sense to him. He knew that this ring belonged to that demon. Then maybe this ring holds some sort of secret. That is why Fabian wanted to inspect the ring.

Fabian saw the ring was a smoth red color ring with no engraving on it. And there was nothing special about the ring. Fabian was not an expert on metals but he could tell that he had not seen this king of red metal before. He rubbed the ring on rock to see which kind of metal it was made of. But to his surprise, the rock was not able to leave any sctrah on that damn thing.

As he was not able to find anything significant about the ring, Fabian just wore the ring in his right hand. And then he started looking at the things that he found inside the sac. He was curious about how the hell Maria was able to procure all this money and jewellery. And after looking through the jewellery for some time Fabian realised that this must be the money and jewellery that had been stolen from the inn the past few years.

But as Fabian was busy looking at the things from the sac, he didn't noticed that the ring in his hand was finally showing some sort of reaction. The red color of the ring was fading. And the ring was becoming black. But then the ring white color lightining like pattern also started appearing on the ring. And after only a few seconds the ring had changed its appereace and color for ever.

It was then the ring a blue color cloud started coming out of the ring. When the blue color cloud started coming out, Fabian finally noticed that there was something wrong with his ring. As soon he noticed that blue color cloud, he panicked and took off the ring and then threw it aside. But that didn't stop the cloud from coming out of the ring. The cloud still came out and started gathering one place.

While Fabian just sat there in shock didn't know what else to do…
