《Hex [h.s]》Chapter Seventy-two
Advertisement
I silently watch as Harry's men got ready in the living room. Harry is giving out different orders to each person, eyes hard and serious. He was ecstatic the moment Sonya informed him that they had found one of the Chief's last descendants. Harry didn't waste time in calling his men and plan on ambushing the person.
I can't help but feel nervous for Harry. Nervous because when he kills the last descendant, he will be human again, but what if he doesn't? He hinted to me that he is running out of time. If he doesn't kill the last one, he will go back. Go back to where he belongs. Hell.
Isn't that where he is supposed to be? My subconscious asked, Isn't that where you want him to be? Forever? Out of your life for good and you'll be able to continue living normally? Forget that all of this ever happened and move on? That was your original plan, why not go through with it?
"Lucinda," I looked up to see Harry staring at me intently. Clearing my throat, I nod at him, "Yes? What is it Harry?" He moved closer to me and gestured to the man sitting down on the couch, talking to Sonya. "That is Alex, the doctor I told you about. He'll check up on you later before I wring his neck for coming so late."
Harry was absolutely pissed the moment this doctor told him he wouldn't be able to come here and give me a check up until he came up to the front door today. As for my health, the vomiting and stomach aches disappeared two days ago, but I can't help to wonder why I am becoming thinner everyday instead of going back to my normal structure. It is baffling and at the same time, insane.
"I see." I mumbled, lowering my head to stare at my shoes that seem interesting at the moment. Harry must have noticed my hesitance because he lifted my chin for him to look straight in my eyed and gave me a devil may care smile. "Don't worry about him, he's just an ordinary guy, but if he so ever tries to touch you or make you uncomfortable, don't hesitate to tell me cause I'll kill him."
This made my eyes widen and I shake my head, "No. I don't think that's necessary and besides, he's just here to check my health. Nothing more and nothing less. You don't have to kill the guy, I don't know him, but he seems cool." Shaking his head, Harry's attention was diverted when one of his men called his name. "I have to go now Lucinda, see you."
Without another word, I watch him leave the room, worried and nervous for myself. And for him. "Miss Mackenzie," I sharply turn to face Alex, the doctor. I nod at his words, "Yes that's me." Giving me a small smile, he gestured for me to follow him. With great anxiety battling inside me, I followed him up stairs. Grace, who stood at the corner, did the same. She's probably instructed by Harry to watch over me. I rolled my eyes at the notion.

"So, what have you been feeling for the past few days?" Alex asked as I sat down on the couch of Harry's bedroom. Grace stared at me with concern eyes as Alex began to take out his medical supplies such as a stethoscope and syringes. I grimaced at the sight of it, he's not going to use that right?
I cleared my throat before answering, "Well, I've been completely fine. The headaches and vomiting have vanished along with my stomach aches. Right now, all I want to know if this virus is finally over it something." Alex merely nodded at my words before putting his stethoscope on. I want your back to me, lift your shirt up." My cheeks blushed furiously but I did so, exposing his back to me. He started his examination, testing things here and there as I consciously covered my bare stomach.
"Okay, you can pull it down now." He said, I happily pulled down the hem of my shirt as he wrote a few things in a paper. That's when he handed me a white cup, I stared at it in complete curiousness and confusion. What does he want me to do with this?
"I want you to pee in it Miss Mackenzie." He voiced out, answering my thoughts. I could help but be flabbergasted. "W-what? You want me to what?" Is this some kind of joke? Why does he want me to pee in this? Doesn't he find it disgusting or embarrassing? Seeing my obvious humiliation, he smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, it's just a test that I want to try. Nothing to be embarrassed about."
I sealed my lips tightly and stiffly made my way to the comfort room and do my business. Why he wants me to do this, I don't know. Why does he even want to go through with this test? Is it really that serious for me to do this?
A lot of thoughts rushed through my mind as I stood up, crinkling my nose at the cup, disgusted. Washing my hands after, I walked out of the bathroom and to the waiting doctor outside. He was pacing silently before turning around to address me, "Are you done?"
"Yeah, although I don't know why you're adamant for me to do this." I mumbled as I handed the cup to him. Alex didn't answer, however, and rushed inside the bathroom. Grace smoothly went to my side, giving me a tight smile. "You should go downstairs Lucinda, I have sandwiches ready there. Why not eat as we wait for the doctor?"
Actually, the idea was tempting. I slowly nod, "Okay. I'll go ahead then." Leaving Grace, I climbed down the stairs and to the kitchen. Like she said, sandwiches laid in a plate was sitting on top of the counter. Hungry, I grabbed one and munched on the delicious snack.
After eating a few more, I grab a glass of water before sipping it until it was empty. I took a glance at the clock and decided to head back upstairs. I furrowed my eyebrows in curiosity once I heard arguing behind the door of Harry's bedroom.

"So? What are you implying?" Grace demanded in a hard tone. I never heard her speak that way, just now. I pressed my ear against the woodwork, suspicious. "If he finds out about it, he won't kill here! And if he finds out the truth about you, he'll kill you instead! You better leave town." Alex grumbled angrily.
What are they talking about?
"It's better if you give him the last hint now, he'll be out of our shoulders before we know it."
"But what about the girl?"
"He'll kill her no matter what. He values his life more than others, Harry won't be stupid enough to pass it up." I took a step forward, pressing against the door more when it gave away. I fell to the floor with a loud grunt, only to sit up straight quickly the moment I heard Alex chuckle. My eyes widen at the murderous looks in their faces. This can't be good.
In a blink of an eye, I was held up by Alex and tossed to the bed. I let out a cry as Grace covered my face with a black cloth. Before I knew it, the fumes excreted by the cloth knocked me put. Darkness took over me once again, which I welcomed. Accepted. For that is my fate, nothing. Total darkness.
"Where is she? Where is Rachel?" I demanded fiercely, not wanting to give up now that I am so close to become normal. Normal. The word alone has vanished from my vocabulary ever since I woke up like this. A monster. A demon.
The man in front of me began cowering, unlike the bravery he displayed awhile ago by challenging me. There's a thin line between bravery and stupidity. Unfortunately for him, his stupidity go the best of him. "I-I don't know!"
A fucking wrong answer.
Hissing, I hit his stomach with my boot clad feet, as the man wheezed. "One more wrong answer and you'll be sorry." I threatened in a low tone, this made him deathly still before looking up to slowly. His lips broke out into a grin, a sadistic grin. "You'll never find her, she is smarter than all of you combined. And she will make you fall."
Flexing my fingers, I took his head and twisted it, bones cracking. Giving the lifeless body a dispassionate glance, I followed Niall out of the wooden hut where Sonya lead us to. Apparently we were too late and this 'Rachel' girl is smart enough to leave before we find her.
"Sonya!" I barked, the woman rushing towards me, fear evident in her eyes. "Yes Sir?" But no, I'm not going to kill her. She's way valuable to me and killing her won't gain anything. Just another loss of a good ally.
"Continue your search for this Rachel girl," I ordered, crossing my arms. "And if you do, bring her to me right away. No more surprise attacks. Kidnap her or knock her out if you must. Leave the killing to me." Sonya bowed slightly in respect and walked away to gather her own men.
I can't help but frown, thinking deeply as I stared at my men burning the hut. I can't believe the woman got away. But how? How did she know that we were coming? How did she got away from us to fast? Is there somebody who helped her? Is it one of ours? The thought alone sounded fucking impossible. If there's a mole, I'll be sure to kill him or her first before taking away my chances of being human. I've sacrificed a lot of things just to get to this point. I'm not stopping now.
I frowned slightly, something's not right. "Niall," I called out, the Irish man running towards me. "Yes Styles?"
"Call Alex and ask him about Lucinda's health. I want to find out now." I ordered. Niall merely nod and took out his phone, dialing the doctor's number. Once again, the feeling crawled up to my neck and I tried to brush it off. I haven't felt this kind of feeling in years. It was the complete opposite, only humans feel this way. I can't help but scoff at myself. I shouldn't feel fear, it's only for the weak minded, specifically all humans.
I stopped short, realizing that after all these things, I will be human. I won't be a disgusting monster anymore who needs to feed off blood and fear to live. I'll be normal. A weak minded fool. I'll bled if struck, I'll be a mortal. Something that is bad if you're human.
Do I really want to be human?
"Styles, there are only a few more weeks before the red moon." Sonya voiced out, staring at her phone.
Yes, I do want to be human. To be free from the devil, to start over again. To become, free of sins.
"Find the bitch before I lose it." I hissed and climbed into the waiting car. I waved off Zayn who began questioning me about the red moon and who was coming back. "I told you a thousand times Malik, he is coming back and I plan that it would be our last meeting. The bastard is a crazy maniac and I don't want to see him again after that."
"But Styles, who is specifically is coming? I can't prepare our man for what is to come when I don't know who we're battling." Zayn grumbled and I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration, wanting to be home and talk to Lucinda. She needs to be in a safe area when he comes back.
"The fucking Chief himself, Malik."
