Sabrina laid quietly on her bed in thought. She'd felt like someone had been watching her for some time now....

Infact, for some days now it was like a pair of eyes were affixed on her at some time of the day.

"You can come out now, I can tell you're no normal spirit...", she demanded without looking away from the book she'd been reading, since she couldn't ascertain the direction the person or thing stood.... There was no reply.

"Are you the one who's been following Richard?", She finally drops her book, as her eyes narrow. "I can't see you, but I can feel your presence...". She moves to sit by the edge of the bed. "I guess I'll just go tell Richard..." There was no reply once more before the echoes of husky laughter spread round the room.

"Don't get cocky girl..!!", the voice was thick but dead serious. "And after you tell him of my existence... How do you plan to get rid of me?"

Her eyes narrow. "And I was starting to think you couldn't speak", her eyes were roaming around the room incase he just appeared.

"Hmmph..", he was now directly in front of her.

Her eyes widened, as she found herself frozen to a spot. She couldn't even turn to look him in the eye.

"I am the daemon of wrath. Jack... the reaper as some call me", His eyes narrow as she turns slowly to face him.

He had a Stern look on his face, and his aura was that of bloodlust and death. It was exactly what she'd felt the first time she'd stepped into this mansion.

She could feel her knees buckle as she managed to stop the rest of her body from quivering in fear.

He was nothing like Logan she'd met some years back. No...

He cocks a brow noticing the fear in her eyes. "I'm well aware that you probably met the daemon of lust some years ago, Logan"

"H... How did you..."

He laughs mockingly cutting her off. "I heard he'd made contact with a human some years back, no wonder he suddenly disappeared! The whole underworld is looking for him!..", his eyes narrow mischievously. "But I can see why.." His eyes roam down to her body then back up to her face. "His lust must have gotten the better of him..."

Those words had just pissed her off, she attempted to slap him, forgetting he was typically a spirit!

Her hands just passed through.

She growled under her breathe. "I won't let you say such nonsense about Logan!"

He moves a few steps backwards. "Ohh... I apologise..", beginning to pace the room. "I forgot you thought what was going on between you two was real...", he stopped at the other edge of the bed. "You're not even among the top ten women he's loved over the years, child"

Sabrina didn't even bother to turn around. She was way too angry.

"Now now... Be careful. If you get too worked up, I might just possess you...", he was mocking her too much now.

"Why would you tell me that...", She scoffed. If he really wanted to possess her, he wouldn't need to give her a warning.

Logan had once mentioned that she could only get possessed when her heart was weak or in doubt.

He appeared right in front of her once more, with a speed she couldn't follow with her eyes.

There was a frown on his face. "It's just a warning. I'm not as lenient as Logan", he reaches out stopping just a distance from her hair. "If I take control of you once... I won't get kicked out so easily..."

Actually... He couldn't really take control of her due to compatibility....

Unless he could make her deeply angry. As he was the daemon of wrath, not anger.

In an instant, he was beside an edge of the room. "I'll give you a hint of Logan's whereabouts if you keep this whole incident to yourself...", he smiles to himself. "We've been tracking him for a while now" "And why would I believe you..?"

"Ohh... That's simple. You don't really have a choice now... Do you?", The next instant. He'd passed out the wall...

She wanted to go after him but her body couldn't move...

Was everything about Richard Peep's life monitored?!!!... Could he actually possess her?

But those questions were just by the side of her mind. What she really wanted to know was if all what Jack had said was the truth... Daemon of lust?...

He'd mentioned being named that! But he often spoke about a curse he held and blamed all his perverted acts on this so called 'curse'!

She fell to her bed with her back.

One thing was sure... Even if she'd told Richard, nothing could be done to stop Jack. And for the worse case scenario, he could start suspecting her for making things up or for bringing strange spirits into his life.. "Ughhh!!", She pulled her hair. "I can't seem to decide!"

But she wanted to see Logan again, and get the truth out of him. Who'd sent him and Jack?... And what were they planning?

Switching off her bedside lamp, she'd decided to sleep it off.

SOMEWHERE IN DURINDO...

"How is everything going?", Was the mischievous voice of a woman from over the telephone.

"A woman has joined him....", Came the voice of Vermillion Whyte. "She's the one..."

She licked her lips in pleasure. "Good!... Killing too birds with one stone is going better than I'd expected..". She paused to chuckle a bit. "Have you been discovered?" "Most likely Ma.."

"Hmm... You make me sound so old. I've told you before to call me Rachel...."

"Forgive my insolence"

"Now now... You just leave everything to his hunger for revenge, I'm sure he'll come for Donatelli's party with that woman", her lips curve with pleasure. "Do not bring the matter up again now you have been discovered"

"Yes ma..."

"Ohh.. and Mr Vermillion?"

"Yes?"

"I'm tired of you so you may dispose of yourself now...", She ends the call.

"Right away..", he mumbles to himself before heading back home. He'd made the call on a public telephone.
