Chapter 146

"Yes...."She screamed silently and threw herself on the bed."Finally I can see him. Thanks Zenith."

Tyson who was still at the balcony smiled. "Mortals..."

And with that,he left.....

The next day....

"Kayla...."Susan said knocking on the door."I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I understand. You only wanted to help. Do not think I don't care for you. I had always, always and will always care for you."

But it didn't look as though Kayla listened.

"I might not know what you're going through but I always pray for your sickness to disappear. I know its due to your father's death. I always pray for everything to go on in order."

Kayla just scoffed upon hearing that.

"It's my fault. I should have had the time for you too. Leila's conditions have been haunting her ever since your father died. She had no one to believe her so I try to create a space in her heart.... somewhere....even if it was little,it would ignite her to believe in something or even someone....."She sighed.

"You are the greatest blessing God has ever given to me. Why? You have been firm...and good even though you had half a quarter of your life with your father....and that's what I really like about you.... Kayla."

That at least made Kayla think twice. She scoffed and quickly opened the door only to let the wind blow on Susan.

"I know that someday.... everything will be alright. Whether I am there to witness it or not."

The room was quiet,static and motionless. Only the voices lurking in the air could be heard. Susan stared at her daughter's beautiful eyes and saw the sorrow behind it.

"You know what....? I think Leila has something to tell you."

***********

"So Leila....who is the actual killer of our dad?"

"What!?"

Susan could not believe her ears. So Noah could finally get justice.

"You remember.... right? Now tell me. Who did it?"

"You know,in a normal situation,one will never know who did it. But this situation is paranormal and I know Leila's hiding something besides,we have already encountered the killer before....So...."

But Leila stood there tearfully and in anguish.

"It's Zenith."

"No it isn't."

"Are you nuts? We're you not the one who....."

"I misinterpreted it. Mom you have to listen carefully."

"Go on. I have all the time there is to seek justice for your father."

Susan told her.

"Yes I saw Zenith back then but he wasn't the one. I remember everything now. That night,when dad was driving,we saw Zenith. He suddenly appeared in front of us, looking very murderous. Dad got down to see what was going on but the look on his face scared me. He told me not to get down from the car. I wanted to shout but I couldn't. Dad got in and drove very fast but where ever we decided to go, Zenith just kept on appearing. Now we all knew death was around us.

Dad and Zenith really fought that night. I gathered my remaining courage back then to help dad but he had held dad's neck and yanked him. I was scared and before I knew it,I got hit against a tree. I woke up again with dad but this time it wasn't Zenith I saw. The other person held dad's neck so tight that dad even cried.

Dad suffered and could not breathe. That evil man cracked dad's neck to death.

Then he raised and threw me to the closed doors of the car shattering the glasses. I felt very hurt and my head throbbed really. I felt weak and then passed out."Leila said looking guilty.

"I wanted to do something but it was then I knew that the world as it is,is not a bright as we had always thought it to be."

"So tell me."Susan said angrily."Do you know the killer? That beast? That demon who took your father's innocent life away from him?"

"Yes."

"Who is it?"

Leila paused and indeed regretted."It's...It's Edgar."
