SCARS - CHAPTER 17&18
(TORTURE)
Fransisco stood face to face,eye ball to eyeball with Corbin. It wasn’t Fransisco performing but a spirit was controlling him.
He tried to control himself but all was in vain cause the spirit was stronger.
“I love this cool joke. How possible can a mere teen human fight the strongest supernatural being” He boasted and laughed loudly.
“Enough of ki||ing the innocent to satisfy yourself,go back to your world and stop tormenting us!!” Francisco screamed.
Corbin laughed again and Fransisco got furious. He tried running towards Corbin but Corbin waved him and he flew against the wall.
“Argh” He grunt standing up.
“You are just a little boy with no powers so it will be easier ki||ing you”
Corbin said trying to use his eyes to lift Francisco up but he couldn’t. Francisco was heavy.
“You can’t do that right” Francisco smirked when he noticed the difficulty Corbin was going through.
Fransisco stood up and tried attacking Corbin but Corbin hit him thrice in his chest.
“Arghhhhhhh my chest” Lumps of blood poked out of Fransisco’s mouth.
Corbin brought out a liquid inside a transparent bottle and emptied the contents on Fransisco’s body.
Injuries appeared on his body and they hurt like hell. His skin was burning deeply and the injuries multiplied.
Corbin inflicted him with an acid.
“Arghhhhhhh” Fransisco screamed with his last strength.
The scream echoed so loudly that the windscreen of cars shattered into pieces. Bulbs,window,plates and other glass items cracked and shattered.
Everyone had their hands on their ears,the scream was so loud and piercing that even the boastful Corbin couldn’t stand it.
A heavy tornado came down from the sky, Corbin and his wizards flew inside. Francisco stopped screaming and fainted.
The dark,heavy clouds loosed and rain began falling. An ambulance arrived and Fransisco was taken in.
Everyone was in a state of bewilderment how such a little boy could scream so loud that glasses shattered.

Wizards Coven
The wizards landed at different position inside their coven. They had injuries on their bodies due to the rough way they teleported back.
Beyron the head of the wizards was first to stand.
“The king didn’t land with us” He announced and all wizards stood attention.
“We must set to find him now” Beyron announced.
They were about making move when they heard a scream from far away directing to the coven.
“Arghhhhhhh” Corbin screamed until he landed on his butts inside the coven.
“Ouch” Beyron said closing one of his eyes.
“King!!” The wizards were relieved.
“Take him to his chambers to rest” Beyron instructed.
Two wizards carried him up but a strong wind blew them and they flew hitting their head on the wall, they died instantly.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Corbin asked as he watched the two dead bodies turn dark smokes.
“A bad sign your majesty. Someone has committed an execration” Beyron replied.
Dark smokes started coming out from the ground which signified Santura the goddess of wizards was around.
She appeared in full and all bowed.
“Gree…”
She waved her hands and he kept mute.
“Corbin you have committed an execration and you must pay for it” Santura said.
“What! How, when and where?” He asked randomly.
“Dare not question me or else I’ll make you dumb” She said.
“You should have known your limits Corbin. The land is angry with you and you need to get punished before the wrath visits you and you know exactly what that means ”
Corbin bowed his head shamefully.
“Prepare tonight cause your spirit would leave your body to the spirit world and your torture begins tonight” Santura’s voice echoed and she disappeared.

CHOLA EMPIRE
A loud slap came first on Alessia’s face as she went to answer the Queen.
“My Queen” She sobbed.
“You ingrate,someone sighted you and my son together in the garden. Is that true?” Queen Lazebel asked with fierce burning in her eyes.
“It’s not what you’re thinking please” Alessia pleaded.
“So you’re trying to steal my brother and lure him to fall in love with you. Isn’t it?” Charlotte asked.
“No my princess”
“Soldiers!!” Queen Lazebel called.
Two soldiers appeared.
“Take her to the dungeon and whip her two hundred strokes and starve her” Queen Lazebel ordered with an emotionless face.
“Say some greetings to your forefathers” Charlotte chuckled.
“Her majesty please!” Alessia pleaded. The soldiers dragged her away.
“Mom I think it’s high time we ki|| this girl” Charlotte said but Queen Lazebel gave her a deadly stare.

MORNING~ 7AM
Fenuku was still curled up in bed when the loud quarrels of his parents woke him. He sat on his bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
“Not again,not this morning gawd” He ruffled his hair and stepped out of bed.
“Mark I’m waiting for a reply, who’s she?” Lisa yelled.
“Who is who? Please Lisa I don’t have strength for your barks” Mark replied knotting his tie.
“Are you indirectly calling me a ?îtçh”
“You called yourself that. I’m off to work so you can shout down the house” He picked up his briefcase and left the room.
“Mark stop cheating on me,you…. you’re h…hurting my fe…feelings” She stuttered and fell on the floor.
“It’s okay mom” Fenuku walked into the room and hugged his mom.
*****
Khole slept in the hospital all through the night. She slept in Fransisco’s room, resting her head on his bed hoping for his speedily recovery.
He had deep and red injuries all over his body including his face. The acid really dealt with him.
The previous night she had cried out her eyes that they were swallow and funny. Their dad had taken two days off to see Fransisco.
Fransisco slowly opened his his eyes,he saw the ceiling fan rotating peacefully. The smell from the atmosphere hinted him he was in the hospital.
He remembered everything that happened and he couldn’t explain what took control over him.
He turned his head and saw Khole sleeping peacefully. He ruffled her hair and sat on the bed.
“Cisco you’re awake” Khole said happily running her sleepy eyes which were still blur.
“Yeah, I’m strong now” Fransisco said.
“I’m so hap….” She paused when she noticed something.
She stood up and went far away from him,staring at him suspiciously.
“Khole what’s the problem?” He asked solemnly
“Cisco where are your injuries. Yesterday a creature poured an acid on you, Cisco acid!! Your body was filled with injuries and now your skin is flawless! How? OMG my head” She held her head with her eyes widened fearfully.
Truly his skin were as clear as before. All injuries were gone overnight.
“Khole calm down, I’m just fine”
“No Francisco,there is something you’re not saying”
“Just calm down Khole” He tried touching her but she flinched.
“Mom!! Dad!! Doctor!! Help me!!” She screamed so loudly.
