Javier Celsior

March 12, 2016

"I'll meet you in the afternoon after school. Stay safe." A young Caucasian man said while combing his daughter's hair, because his stubborn daughter was never going to leave him. She had a bond with him that was purer than the purest freshwater lake, and there was nothing else in the world he cared more about. Emma Celsior was a Child being raised by his single father Javier Celsior, And they both meant the world to each other. She was Six years old, and was a bright student who was excellent in academics, Sports, etc. Javier on the other hand, was a construction site worker and had only one dream. To make his daughter a person the world admires.

"OK daddy. I will wait for you outside the school. Don't keep me waiting." Was the response given to him by her, And just like that, after getting ready and leaving their 1 bedroom hall apartment, they were both off towards her kindergarten .

On the way, there was a certain question that Emma asked Javier in order to divert his attention towards her.

"Daddy, why do you work so hard?"

Javier was surprised. This was a question that came out of nowhere. He didn't have to think real hard to answer this question, and said," I work hard because I want to ensure that when Emma grows up, She does not have to go through the life that I have lived."

Emma starts smiling. After seeing her in such a good mood, Javier asked,"Why are you smiling?"

"I want to be like daddy. I want to be there for daddy even when I grow up. I will never let you down daddy."

After hearing that, Javier's eyes started to water up. He was a proud father. He had raised a good child until now, and was ready to make even more effort in raising her to be a good person in the society.

After leaving her at the kindergarten, Javier had to go to work. It didn't pay much, but it was for his daughter's future.

After working hard on his day shift, he retired towards the Worker's Quarters. He had to kill time before picking Her up. He switched on the T.V, only to find some news going on about the ill effects of drugs on health.

5 minutes later, There was a special breaking news segment. This particular segment caught Javier's attention. His face turned pale.

"The Midtown kindergarten has been infiltrated by the a group of professional Assassins who have killed around 13 Children up until now. There has been mass panic about the children who have been kept as hostages inside the school. The S.W.A.T has tried to enter, But haven't succeeded in doing so. The whole area is on red alert. Please try to remain at your homes at all costs."

Javier was done. He did not care about anything. If he dies, No problem. If his daughter dies, he will kill himself. He had already lost his wife. He was not ready to let her daughter die.

He drove his Sedan right in the direction of the Kindergarten. He had to reach there, Pronto. And after reaching the place, he was surprised. there was no one there. No S.W.A.T, no police, no media, nothing.

He tried to enter through the gate, but was only able to do so after breaking the lock that was on the gate.

The corridors were empty. There was not a single kid to be seen. Or for that matter an adult.

He started shouting,"Emma! Emma! Where are you? Answer me!"

He was walking though the corridors, when he heard a voice. It was very faint.

"Daddy...D.a...ddy." It was Emma.

He rushed towards the Class from which the voice was coming, and before he opened the door, She said "Help me... H.E.L.P M.E"

He opened the door. "Emma!"

What he saw, was beyond his nightmares. His daughter, had become a monster of some kind. She had the limbs of a Bear like creature, and was absorbing the dead children in front of her through her hands.

"No. This can't be happening. This is not real. Wake up from this nightmare. Wake up. WAKE UP!"

"Daddy. It hurts. It hurts so much. Please Daddy. Save me. Do something."

Just after she finished saying that, her eyes had gone red. She leaped forward towards Javier in order to kill him. It was final. She was about to kill him.

Just before she reached his neck. Her hands stopped. They were shivering uncontrollably. It was as if someone was trying to get the control back of their own body.

Javier was destroyed. His face was pale. He did not know what to do. He was not able to think.

"Daddy, listen to me. The bad person who gave me an injection was talking about how I will not harm anyone anymore if you aim that gun over there at my hand and shoot at the centre. That is the only way to cure me."

Javier did not even wait for a split second. If there was a way to cure his daughter, he wanted to do it. Javier Picked up the gun, and aimed it towards her arm. There was a strange symbol tattooed on it. He asked her once,"Are you ready?" She nodded.

He shot towards the Tattoo. It was destroyed after one shot. Javier was relieved. The mutated limbs were disappearing. It was a miracle.

Emma had fallen on the floor. Javier rushed towards her. He was happy that her daughter was back to normal. Now all that was left was to run away from here as far as he could, along with her daughter.

"Daddy?" Emma said.

"It's okay, It's okay. Nothing will happen now. Daddy will take care of you." he said.

The bleeding wasn't stopping. It was like all the blood she had was being drained from her. Fast.

"I am sorry. I let you down."

Javier tried wrapping a cloth on the wound from after tearing his t-shirt.

"It's okay daddy. I was glad that I did not hurt you."

She was going breathless. It was not good.

"You will always be my hero daddy. I'll miss you."

And that was it. He had saved his daughter but killed her.

Everything could be forgiven, sure.

But this was a sin he had taken upon his head.

A sin that would compel him to save this good for nothing world from the person who had killed his daughter. 300 years later.

The Divine entity.
