Dance With Me (Silent Whisper’s)

‘You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not. Maybe the only vow we ever need to offer the one we love is this: I will never, not for a sliver of a second, make you feel alone.’

“Sure boss, I will get back to you.” Pan said and ended the call. He went to get some deadly liquid substance he normally keeps in his office drawer. Inserting and opening the drawer with his keys, he brought out the poisonous substance he will use to inject Paul out and smiled cruelly. Taking it and a new injection, he closed the drawer.

Pan left his office and walk towards the ward he saw Kate entered thinking of a new plan.

Valten:

2 Hours Later saw David, Mark, Robert and Eric in Paul’s hidden penthouse.

“Wow, I never knew my son has a place as beautiful as this.” Robert remarked as he walked round the house delighted. “At least he got a better taste.”

They had eaten before coming so they weren’t hungry. David excuse himself and went to the room he had occupied when Paul had brought him here, while Eric also excuse himself and entered Paul’s room.

He went to the wardrobe and open it. No clothes were in it, only weapons. He first saw his weapons, sword and his Shuriken (Ninja Star), he also saw other weapons Paul had talked about, but he wasn’t interested in them, he was about to close the wardrobe when his eyes caught something at the far end of the wardrobe.

A chigiriki weapon.

The weapon is a hollow iron cane that has an iron weight attached to a chain hidden inside mainly used by Samurai’s.

“Hmm.” Eric mused taking the weapon. He was going to use that. Paul is a box full of surprises and he is very sure Philly doesn’t know yet that his opponent is a Samurai neither does he know that Paul is his twin sister.

Closing the wardrobe, he left Paul’s room and made sure it was locked securely before going to the room he was given. He has to learn how to use the chigiriki weapon.

Mark and Robert who were silent all the way from Robert mansion down to the penthouse kept sealing a glance at each other as they sat opposite one another.

Mark decided to speak first.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Thank you for calling me and letting me know what was going on.”

Robert smiled and nodded his head. “Its Paul we should be great for, he told me everything.” Robert reply. The memory card David had given to him holds a recording voice of Paul, telling him everything that has been happening and requested he get David father with them so that his enemies won’t use any one of them to threaten him. He also said that Eric will protect them from harm.

“But Paul isn’t here so that is why I am thanking you, though he also saved my son’s life some days ago from the hands of the assassin’s. I am sorry about how I treated you in the past, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me brother.”

“You wrong no one Mark, it’s true we went our different ways just because of a little misunderstanding, you wanted me to stay off the path I was heading too and I also wanted you to stay off from yours, but we couldn’t agree. At the end, you became successful at your chosen career and I became a Mafia Lord. We all got what we all wanted in the end, except for one thing which we always hope for, family. I realize in my journey into the Mafia world, family is important, no matter how high we soar, we are still family. That was why I allowed my son to be friends with yours, at least we shouldn’t keep our children away from each other because we have a little beef. I am so glad that I am finally talking to you after all these years.” Robert told his brother.

“Thank you Robert.” Mark thanked sincerely as he and his brother both stood up at the same time and hug themselves.

“Finally, I can visit my cousin whenever I want to openly and not secretly again.” David voice was heard behind them as he overhead all their discussion.

He was happy for them, at long last, their feud between them as been resolved and they were brothers once again.

Both old men laugh at that David remark.

“So son where are we going to sleep tonight?” Mark asked his son.

“My former plan was to allow the both of you stay in a room, but since you have all made up, there will be no need for that. There are two empty rooms beside each other at the other end, choose any one. Good night Dad, good night uncle.” With that David left them towards his room.

Casala:

Lora started saying the magic words written on the paper that was inside the box.

She kept repeating the words for close to 20 minutes when suddenly, a huge breeze started blowing right there in her room.

Lora started smiling as her wheezy, cackling voice rose higher and higher as she neared the end of her incantation.

Lora was thrilled to see a light shining as it began to take shape.

Once the light has cleared out, the evil Sluagh evil was seen.

She was hideous of appearance, mumbling to herself with that dreamy, ghastly smile. Her hair was lank and lustreless, falling around her like strings of rotting straw. Her lupine eyes, savage and cunning, only came to life when she muttered certain arcane words from a spell. She was too ugly yet beautiful to behold. She was floating in the air as she stood before Lora’s, unlike Daisy and Dementia who are small fairies, the evil Sluagh fairy was a normal human being.

“What is it my child, you sent for me.” She said as her voice vibrated the room.

Lora stood up from where she sat and bowed before her.

“Yes I call on you. You told me to call on you whenever I need something.”

“What do you want my child?” The Sluagh evil fairy asked.

“Dee that you gave to me can’t do what I ask of her.” Lora answer.

“Where is she?”

Lora pointed at where Dementia was, still hitting her head on the wall. Looking at the small fairy, the Sluagh shrugged her shoulders and turn back to Lora. “Well that serves her right my child. What is it that you want her to do that she couldn’t?”

“I asked her to make someone fall in love with me, but she started telling me different stories.” Lora said eyeing Dee with her eyes.

“Lora, my child, Dementia is a weak fairy but don’t worry you have me, I will do that for you, all I need is his full name.”

“Thank you, I know I can always count on you. His full name is Paul Mirror.” Lora said excitedly.

“Then my child, this Paul Mirror, is all yours.” The evil Sluagh fairy said. And raised up her hands, closing her eyes. “Lyft sy þe in Paul Mirror bǽlwylm ac forhienan se Lora Dante wiðere.”

The Sluagh fairy waited but nothing happened. She tried another spell.

“Túce hwón frec ðu, Paul Mirror. Þec feoh nom gyse. Cume morðor rice ær. Túce hwón frec ðu, Lora Dante.”

She opened her eyes quickly. “Strange.”

“What’s strange?” Lora demanded.

“The Paul Mirror that was shown to me has died years ago.” The Sluagh fairy revealed.

“That’s impossible, Paul Mirror is much alive and not dead.”

“My powers never lie to me before. Let me check again.” She told Lora and close her eyes once more. “Ic nemne þá grædige, yfele, formolsnung. Cume lǽn and mé getryme! Nu meaht Paul Mirror þú begalan. Nu meaht þú begalan.”

“I was shown a decay skeleton, and when I drew closer to it, I found out it was the dead body of Paul Mirror. He is dead.”

“But I saw him earlier today with my stupid sister when we went to pay her a visit. Speaking of her, she has regained her sight back.”

“What? That’s not possible, the spell I cast on her was permanent.”

“Yes and I removed it.” A new voice said drawing the fairy attention to the intruder.

“Daisy?”

“Yes its me, surprise to see me here?” Daisy said. Daisy had came in when the Sluagh fairy was performing her spells. She flew to meet her sister and removed the spells that was binding her before she made her presence known.

“Oh queen Daisy or should I say former queen Daisy, what brought you here?”

Lora wasn’t seen Daisy and was surprised that the evil fairy is speaking to an empty room.

“Who’s here with us?”

“Dementia twin sister.”

“Then kill her, she is interrupting us.”

“That would be very difficult, she is not as weak as her twin sister.”

Floda:

Doctor Pan entered the ward and Kate was surprised to see him again, twice.

“Doctor Pan, I hope there is no problem?”

“Of course not Mrs Kate, I am only here to give him his drugs.” Doctor Pan said showing Kate the injection he was holding.

“What about the other doctor who first attended to him?”

“Actually he was the one who told me to come here because I am your family doctor.” Doctor Pan reply convincingly to Kate who believe him.

He went over to where Paul lay, taking the poisonous substance with the new injection, he was about to inject the needle into Paul’s body when Paul other hand stopped his.

Before Pan will blink his eyes or react back, Paul had already taken the injection from him and thrust it into his neck with a force and made the substance go through his body. He brought out the injection out of Pan neck and thrust it again in a different place, he did that five more times before he pushed the now lifeless body of Pan off him to the ground and started removing all wires attached to him.

That was when he remembered Kate was in the room, he saw her shocked to her bone. Her face said it all.

“Am sorry I did that in front of you ma’am, but he is not what you think he is.”

Finding her voice once again. “I don’t understand.”

“I overhead his discussion with Philly who ordered him to kill me.” Paul said as he stood up from the bed and touch his bandage stomach. One of the abilities of a Samurai was the ability to hear things within that environment.

“He was sent to kill you? But he was my family doctor.” Kate said as she watches Paul bend down over the dead body, searching him ignoring her question, he took out Pan’s phone and gave it to Kate to keep it.

“You know the owner of this hospital, right ma’am?”

“Yes, he’s my friend, any problem?”

“Good, call him now that a Ninja attacked us and killed Pan in the process. After telling him just, scream out in fear and drop your phone on the ground.”

Kate did that after telling the doctor about the Ninja attacks, she started screaming and dropped her phone on the floor.

Paul broke the glass window and carry Kate in a bride style and jumped out.

Running with faster speed, he headed towards the place he hasn’t been for a long time.

He was going to beat the drum, he was ready to be one with the sword.
