“Also Layla said it was dark which means it was at night a convenient time to meet undetected especially in an abandoned place like an old warehouse.” Alex explained again.
“So, now we have a place and time, a day not very sure but it’s likely. When’s your birthday boy?”
“Next Friday.” I said shortly and nervously.
“Okay, people get everything ready. And a little extra this time we don’t know what we are going to face,” he commanded.
CHAPTER 60;
“Actually, you can’t come with us.” Rebecca said, and I almost asked what the hell she was doing. We needed all the help we could get.
“Why not? You said it yourself you can’t handle that monster on your own. We have been doing this for a long time, we can help you. And I think he will be alone either.” Alex father suggested.
“Yes I know. But we can’t afford to offer him more charge. And at this point I don’t think your enchanted marks will work he is just too powerful. It will be safer if you let me and Steven face him alone.”
“I’m coming with you.” Alex blurted at me, and my eyes shot right to her father.
“Well, I won’t let a bunch of teenagers go face an alien on their own.” He ordered.
“I’m older so much older than you can imagine.” Rebecca sounded like she was offended.
“How about a better plan, the one that doesn’t involve suicide mission? For today I think it’s enough.”
After hearing that everyone started to head upstairs leaving the four of us at the basement.
“What are you going to do with the bodies?” I asked, just a little curious.
“We are going to sneak them back into the morgue.” Alex whispered to me, but her father shot her a warning look.
“We have it under control. You have something else to worry about.”
Then we all headed back upstairs and the whole family sat around the family room, some on couches, some on the floor and some on the stairs. Most were whispering to each other and look at me and Rebecca from time to time.
“I’ll see you in two days, on Saturday and we can come with a better plan. Which can ensure that everyone comes out alive. Is that okay?” he said looking at Rebecca.
“Yah, that’s fine.” She replied,
Then he escorted us outside the house and three kids followed him outside looking at us curiously. I bet they already knew everything about other worlds and supernatural.
“I will go with them, I left my bicycle at school.” Alex told her father.
“Sure.”
We got inside the car and we headed back to school meanwhile my head was spinning with everything that was going on. If this thing was sucking life out of people then that means my friends and two girlfriends died the same way. And if that was the point why did he wait this long. I mean he already knew me this whole time why didn’t he come to me already? Why did he choose to traumatize me emotionally instead for this long?
“Hey, Rebecca. What does this Profillius want with me? I mean he killed my friends and my girlfriends and left one alive only to hate me. What’s his intentions?”
“That part I don’t know because most of the time I’ve encountered him he always kill them when they are young. With you however, he is been playing you like he is testing you or something.” She stopped and think for a second, “maybe he just realized you different from the rest of them and he waited until your maturity so that you can fully manifest your powers and see what will happen.”
“He will see alright.” I was going to make sure he never hurt anyone ever again.
“Hey, I’m sorry for what happened to you. That was not fair on your part those people didn’t have to die. That’s why it is important we make sure that monster doesn’t get away this time.” Rebecca said,
“You mean you fought him before?” Alex asked with wide eyes,
“Yes and he got away couple times. But I won’t let it happen this time.”

We dropped Rebecca near her place because she didn’t want to draw too much attention from people. She will start asking questions if they saw me dropping her at her house. She left Alex and me in the car and when I looked at her I knew something was bothering her.
“What is it?” I asked,
“What?” she asked pretending not to understand,
“You know what I’m talking about.” I looked at her and put on my no joke face, “just say it. Whatever it is that you are thinking. I know something is worrying you.”
“Alright.” She looked at her hands which were on her lap, which means she was nervous. Then all over sudden looked at me sadly, “I just feel like these are the last few moments that we will ever see each other.”
“I know you are worried. Me too, alright. But I can assure you I will be okay and I will come back to you.” I reached out and caressed her face shortly before turning my focus on the road.
She was quiet this time but that sad face didn’t leave her. Even though I tried to be strong for her, I too was worried about the same thing. I mean Rebecca with all her powers couldn’t defeat this Profillius how was a Newby like me supposed to defeat him.
There was a part of me that thought I might not come back alive, and that was the big part of me. But the smallest part that’s always there guiding me and encouraging me kept on insisting I should be strong.
I didn’t know how I could be strong to face such monster. But duties do go away just because they are too difficult or impossible. You find a way around it and that is exactly what I needed to do. I didn’t have to take him head on I could stall for a while to know what his weak point is when I face him.
We arrived at school and the school was empty and quiet because it was late evening. Ashley was going to kill me. I never made her wait this long before. I bet she was angry out of her mind by that time. If she didn’t call mom already to come take her.
I was worried with both situations. If she called mom to take her home then I was going to have two troubles. First, worried mom with lots of questions and two pissed and worried Ashley. That was not a good combination.
But on other hand alone pissed Ashley was more likely to be worse and even more dangerous, likely. There was nothing I could do now, however it’s going to hurt when I see her. And sadly the time to prepare myself was too short because I saw her right where I normally park.
She was angry, that was too obvious. She was red almost like an apple and that wasn’t a blush. She didn’t move an inch from the concrete she was sitting on. I got out of the car and Alex followed.
“Hey, go ahead. I’ll see you tomorrow.” I told her,
“Ok, best wishes with her.” She said while heading the other direction to get her bicycle.
She was right though I needed more than my charm to calm Ashley this time. I knew what exactly what she was thinking and I knew that is what made her mad even more. Hey, even I would’ve been angry if she left me to hang out with her boyfriend, if the situation was reversed.
“Ashley, I’m really sorry. I never intended to make you wait this long.” I didn’t think that was the best line to start with but it was worth a try.
She got up and bumped on my shoulder hard without saying a word. She got inside the car and stayed there.
The ride home was quiet and Ashley refused to look at me in the eyes. It was that way until I decided to break the ice or else we weren’t going to get anywhere with the silent treatment.
“Ash, look I’m,”
“You are sorry, I heard that the first time. First you cut me off and now you stood me up for that girl and you just say sorry. Seriously Steve.”
“What else do you want me to say?”
“How about you tell me what’s really going on. You know I can handle it.” She said and this time she turned towards me.
“I donut know Ashley. Most of these things sounds crazy and dangerous too. Besides I don’t want to get you in trouble, I won’t” she cut in mid-sentence,
“You won’t be able to forgive yourself. I’ve heard that too many times already. And now I’m done listening to that crap, you either let me in or I find my own way. You decide.” She turned towards the window and stared outside.
I knew starting an argument now won’t work, it would make things worse. But so was not saying anything, as I knew Ashley she was going to find a way, any means possible.
“Ok, let me think about it.” I paused for a moment, “I should warn you though. What you might see or hear won’t make sense and it would sound a hundred percent crazy.”
She turned back, “hey, I’m ready for anything. Whatever it is you are dealing with I wanna help. I don’t care how crazy it may sound.”
“Well then, tomorrow we will talk to Alex and we will give you the highlights of the situation.”
“Finally! I’ve waited for this for so long.” Suddenly her expression changed from extremely furious to extremely excited.

CHAPTER 61;
Two days passed by way too quickly, but before we met with Alex family there was a few things I had to do. First, trying to explain everything to Ashley was hard because I didn’t know how she would react. But then again, she surprised me since she was super cool with it. Yes, she was scared and grossed out about couple things. Like when she saw those pictures of people whose lives were sucked out of them. And that there was an actual person who can do that.
And that this person was the one who has been tormenting me this entire time and he was hunting me or rather waiting for me to become eighteen to do something
