Chapter 115 The Prophecy
Police officers came seconds after Abigail and Hugo's short reconciliation together.
Officer Gwen, whom Abigail asked help to, step forward. He looked at Hugo and said, "I will be needing you for questioning about what happened to this place.".
Hugo nodded his head, since he knew that it was important for the authorities to know what truly happened. However, when he looked at Officer Gwen, he couldn't help but be suspicious about the way he was acting.
He could see from his eyes that he was shocked after seeing the crime scene. However, it was not the shock coming about why there were unconscious people on the floor. Instead, it was more about how was he still alive after it.
Hugo, who has been eyeing him for a while, stared at him intently. He closed his eyes to clear his mind and when he was done; he looked at him once again, trying to read what was on his mind.
'Good thing that I was the one who was in charge of this scene or else Mr. Julius will shortly get in trouble." Officer Gwen thought as he looked at the bodies of the unconscious people on the ground.
He turned his head back. "We need to bring them to Achre's Hospital right away." He uttered. His intention can be purely seen by Hugo.
'No doubt on why he looked at me in such way.' He tilted his head to the side.
Hugo, whose annoyance suddenly came back, stopped the time, even if he was running out of energy. He has been using his powers since earlier, trying to teleport multiple of times. It added to the fact that Hugo has been fighting for so long against those zombie-like people.
He stepped forward towards Officer Gwen's direction. Since he knew that he does not have the strength to stop the time for a few minutes, he could only do something that was painful enough for Officer Gwen.
His right foot taking a step backward, Hugo adjusted his aim to the middle glory of the man.
In there, he hit the most precious spot that even if the time was currently stopped, Officer Gwen's face already turned into purple.
'Bull's eye!'
When he was done, he returned to his place before returning everything back to normal.
"Ahhh!"
Officer Gwen fell on the ground. He winced in pain as he his hands went towards his precious part. Pain was evident in his pace as he silently cried inside his mind.
The other police officers who were doing their job on the side were shocked by the sudden shout. They looked at Officer Gwen with worried reflecting in their eyes.
"Are you okay, sir?" Another police officer asked as he went near to Gwen, trying to help him out.
However, Gwen was too focused to the pain that he was feeling that he couldn't even utter a single answer. It was too painful that he could only make a face.
It was weird for him to look around. "Who would do that to me?" He asked himself as he looked around. But there was no name that he could think of, especially since the other officers were doing their job currently.
"Did that came from a ghost?" he asked worriedly. His body shivered at that thought.
But when he saw that he was already creating too much attention, he stood up with all his force and smiled, trying to hide the pain even if it was still there.
Sometimes all you got to do is smile and people would think that you are fine already.
"You can all go back to your work."
"Is he okay?" Abigail, who was watching on the side, asked Hugo.
"I think so," he answered as he swallowed dryly to prevent himself from laughing after seeing the scene,
"Let's go now, Hugo." Abigail smiled at him as she placed his hands on her shoulder. Her face reddened when he saw that Hugo's upper body was still naked. She could see his defined muscles even if he was still in his teenage years.
'I can't believe that Hugo's body looks this good.' She couldn't help but bite the inside walls of her cheeks to refrain herself from smiling too widely.
"Thanks," Hugo chuckled as he read Abigail's mind.
Abigail's eyes widened after hearing what Hugo had whispered tight into her ears.
"Y-You!" she gasped loudly.
"Shhh, don't be loud." Hugo reminded her after he saw how surprised Abigail was.
"Sir, I think you should go to the Hospital now. Your shape doesn't look good." Officer Gwen, who was following them from behind uttered. He looked at Hugo worriedly.
Even if he was a corrupt officer, whose loyalty was on Julius's side, of course he was still a police officer who has been watched by his subordinates all around. He needed to act as dignified as ever so that they would still respect him even after what happened earlier.
"I'm alright, Sir," Hugo answered, but it didn't take him a few steps before his vision swayed from left to right.
Even Abigail who has been guiding and supporting him from the side stopped walking as well when he felt that Hugo's body became undeniably heavier.
Her eyes immediately wined when he saw how pale Hugo's face was. That's the time she noticed that the side of her shirt was soaked in blood from the side.
"Hugo…" Fear consumed her heart as she saw that Hugo has a deep scratch on the side that looks like it came from a woman's nails.
"Yes?" Hugo answered as he firmly shut his eyes, trying to gain enough strength so that he could stand on his own without efforts.
However, it wasn't before long when his eyes became heavier. The last thing that he could heard was Abigail shouting his name loudly.
He tried to open his mouth to ask what was wrong. But, he couldn't do so. He just decided to sleep when he felt that it was currently the most pleasing thing that he could do.
*****
"Is it the time already?" A woman's voice sounded as she hurriedly ran towards the side of the halls.
Entering a room, in there she saw a man's unconscious body.
"Hugo," She softly called out. Just like magic, the man who was sleeping in the wide bed opened his eyes fully.
Confusion was written in his face as he wake up, seeing that he was in a place covered with clouds. The only thing that was solid in the place was the bed that he was currently lying in.
"Why am I here Thalia?" he curiously asked.
"Can't I just call you?" Thalia smiled widely as she went near towards Hugo. Her silky white dress was dancing with the wind as she took a step.
'When did Thalia get this pretty?' Hugo's forehead creased as he saw that Thalia's face looked vibrant and blooming than ever.
She was like a fine wine that gets beautiful as the day passed by.
"Well, thank you for that." Thalia smiled at him sweetly.
Unlike Hugo who needs to use his powers to read one's mind, Thalia has the ability to hear all the things in her surrounding, naturally.
That was only e of her powers as the most powerful goddess in the universe.
"I called for you here," Thalia answered Hugo's question as she arrived in front of him. Her hands went towards Hugo's hair, touching them softly. "Aren't you happy to see me here?" the sides of her lips stretched out.
"You have been calling me a lot these past few days." His forehead formed a straight line as he glanced over at Thalia.
He didn't mind at all that Thalia could read his thoughts since he knew for sure that she wouldn't do anything to him… that he didn't like.
"Well, I called you here for one thing." Thalia smiled. She swayed her hands to the side and the place where they were quickly changed.
Hugo looked around when he saw that they were in front of a woman. But it seems like the woman can't feel their presence since she hasn't even greeted Thalia who was the queen of heaven.
The woman with pure white eyes stood beside the window. Her wavy hair was long, reaching the bottom of her feet. She was wearing an old dress that somehow still looked regal and gorgeous.
"The night will be day and the moon will cry blood," Lumina, the woman, whispered in the air. "The present will be erased by the past. The past would be the present. Complete the curse and everything will return to nothingness."
She remained standing in front of the window like a statue. A scene suddenly flashed through her mind. It was a different beginning. A new world to be seen.
" A person will rise, and the whole history will be reversed. Look out for the good, avoid the worse. Watch out for death as it will haunt its own people. And you shall praise the God who had risen from the dead."
