Chapter 23: chapter 23
The moment she left, Jacob felt his legs weakening and he almost squated down right there. He down a deep breath while mumbling " Fuck! I was nearly ripped to pieces".
"Hey, you coming!!" Shouted MG as he vam pass the forest.
"Yeah, yea. Let me catch a breath okay" Retorted Jacob as his butt official planted on the ground.
"Hope is simply the daughter of the magic gods at this point". Jacob mumbled as he recalled the magic pressure he was facing when against he confronted Hope.
"I mean.." Just as he was about to complain some more as if the heaven are always listening to him. He heard MG's shout "Zombies". Then a Reeking smell filled his noise, and he had noxious feeling.
"Black magic" Jacob mumbled out. He remembered what his old master said about black magic. It is one of the high order energies of the universe. The most feared one, out of all the fundamental forces and the only one that only the witches can create. This is also the reason why witches are the most feared magic welders since the existence of magic.
Hell, even deities have to think twice before provoking a pissed off witch. Because black magic can even erode and destroy Devine energy. It is the biggest weapon against the gods hence, that is why the gods do not necessarily dare to sit on top of the human race.
Is safe to say no other creatures except the human race can create black magic. And once it is created, like enegy, can not be destroyed. just like a certain father of someone who's name rhymes with Kirby.
Jacob got up. Then sprinted towards the noise. When he reached there, he saw MG, Penelope and Hope fighting zombies. Just as he was about to join.
Penelope said. "No, you find Josie, we'll take care of this Zombies "
"MG, help Jacob in finding Josie, do it fast, time is running out " edged Hope.
"Mana inpulse" Jacob immediately cast his exploration magic to the surroundings. Then focused on the feedback of his mana pulse. Throughout the forest, the dead showed no magic resonate. He felt two distinctive magic feedback, one was under ground, emitting a brown and yellow magic and the other was on the other side of the forest, it was an undead like creature but emitting a greyish magic glow.
"What the…" Jacob was confused. But he had no time to double check. So he just focused on the brownish magic glow under ground and called out to MG.
"I found Josie!!" He shouted. Then went to the spot. Before he could do anything, MG rounded with his super vam speed, dig out a hole and drag Josie out.
"Josie!!" Hope and Penelope called out and immediately checked in onto her body. Penelope hug her tightly like holding onto her own life, while Josie was still trembling.
"You're okay Jo, you are safe~~" Penelope whispered those words into Josie's ear, her eyes filled with tears, grief and mostly anger. The temptress was still very much angry about what happened and still blamed the might be Father-in-law. Dr Saltzman.
MG looked at Jacob whom was now looking at a distant in a direction. "You okay man?" He asked
"Someone is watching us. No, something" Jacob answered. His eyes starting to glow. Both Hope and MG immediately hardened their senses, locked at the same direction as Jacob was looking at. Penelope shielded Josie, while starting to look around on alert.
"Let's go back" edged MG.
"I agree" Jacob denoted. But Hope was already, on the ready to launch onto this monster. "You guys go back, I'll be there after I'm done with this thing". Said Hope as she ripped some holes along her dress for better movement.
"That's stupid Hope". This time Jacob edged.
"Go!!" Hope retorted back louder this time.
"Let's go man, we gonna report this to Dr Saltzman" MG said to Jacob. Then he backpacked Josie then vam speed his way back to the campus residence. Then Penelope and Jacob followed, leaving Hope running towards a certain direction.
On the other side, Dr Saltzman is much better now, practically back to his peak. He was talking to Mama-Zombie, A.K.A. The dead.Now.alive.fiancee. huging each other with teary eyes. When he saw Josie, Dr Saltzman ran to her. "Josie" He screamed.
"Dad!" Answered Josie.
"I'm glad you're still alive, you okay"
"Dad, I'm sorry, I should have listened to yo.."
"Shhh… I'm just glad you in one piece my baby girl. Ooo my poor baby girl" He said as he hugged Josie.
The Bio-ma wanted to come and hug them but remembering she was the one that buried her own child, she fisted her fists so tightly, sobbing slowly and quietly.
Jacob and MG looked at each other, and they both scratched their heads. They came here to inform Dr Saltzman of the monster watching them but looking at the Taiwan drama happening in real life before them. They didn't know what to say or how to start saying. As the saying says: it is a great sin for a man to break apart a family.
"We know who's controlling your dead wife." However Penelope had no problem with destroying this scared moment.
"It was watching us in the forest, Hope went to confront it, so I suggest we reschedule a later date for this touching fatherly love " Penelope continued. Official and effectively stopping Dr saltzman tears from running down his face. His teary eyes cleared immediately.
"I'm gonna kill this thing" Dr saltzman grumbled as he went behind his cardboard to down a gun and a long ass sword. Just as he was about to get to the door, Hope came in.
"He ran away" said Hope as she threw herself on the sofa. And explain what happened…
...…
"Alright, Thank you kids for bringing my baby girl back in one piece" Dr saltzman said.
"Okay, go and rest. You have a free day tomorrow"
Penelope took Josie while MG and Jacob went together. Hope lingered for a moment and asked what is gonna happen to Bio-ma.
"I have an idea" assured Dr Saltzman.
After a much needed bath, Jacob felt hungry so he went down to get some food. (Probably from Josie, Hey… can't help it)
Then he saw Penelope and Josie making out on the hallway. Penelope glared at him for a mini-sec then delved in, continuing the tongue game with Josie, Opened a bedroom door then sucked Josie in like "Tdroomm!!"
Only Jacob was left there looking at the whole thing. His mind, frozen and blank for a good few moments.
"The fuck is wrong with this school" Jacob was…. I don't know.... I mean, what do you do in this situation, what do you think.
