Mart and Ezekiel left the room in a hurry. Mart was distracted once again by the beautiful view and the colored fountain. The green in the fountain was the same as the green potion Aiden gave to him. He wanted to go near it but Ezekiel stopped him.
"It might look attractive but it's dangerous to be near such a quantity of it" Ezekiel kept a straight face
"I'm near it now" he showed him the bottle around his neck "Why is it not hurting me?"
"Little quantity has little impact. A bunch, an unlimited amount of little quantities, is extremely dangerous, even to us" Ezekiel opened the door and they went out of the creepy cabin
"Why keep such a dangerous thing in your environment? Mister sir is risking his life, isn't he?" Mart made his way into the car
"Don't call him that?"
Ezekiel also walked gracefully into the car. Anyone would think they own the car with how they got in. Martinez was like a sassy drag queen, clothed with a crop top and shorts. He had a jacket covering his body to his ankle. Ezekiel on the other hand, had a very tailored suit on. Maybe too tailored even.
His black shiny shoes compliment the black suit he had on. His shirt was white and the tie was also black. He had an expensive wrist watch on. His hair was the only part of him that didn't look so good. For a Dangel, his short brown hair looked unkempt. But in a way though, it looked sexy and attractive, giving
off that manly vibe.
"He won't get hurt... well, as long as he doesn't go near it too much" Ezekiel started the car. Mart was smart enough to put on his seatbelt this time.
"You know, that's exactly what my mom told me when I came out to her. She said, Darling, men are bad people. Don't make a decision you might end up regretting. And then I said, mom, you worry too much. I can take care of myself and then she said, think this over,men are unreliable. They'll end up breaking your heart. As long as you don't get too close to them, they're harmless. I don't want you to get hurt, and then I said, you've tried so many times not to show affection towards me. Thanks for your concern, and then she said, I'm not concerned about you, I'm concerned about myself. Who are you gonna end up crying to when you get heartbroken? Huh? Me! That's who and then I said, sly woman, and then she said-" Mart looked over at Ezekiel, who was not concentrating on the road but was busy looking at him
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Mart gaped at him. "Also, you might wanna look at the road"
"I'm just surprised, and I've never been. You know my identity and you're still so free with me. It just concerns me in a funny way" Ezekiel told him and finally looked at where he was driving, Thank goodness!
"You're seriously surprised by that? You said what you are, you confirmed it, I also met a supernatural being in a cabin which I didn't even know exist in this area. What do I have to lose?"
"Where do you live? I'll drop you off". Ezekiel was dumbfounded at his own question. He couldn't find anything on Martinez, why? Not even his name, or his age, or occupation or schedule or even his house! Maybe he didn't do enough research on humans. He must have missed Mart's file
"I can drive myself, you don't have to. You can go back to heaven. I don't want to be your burden" Mart told him as he checked the car for any of Ace's expensive watches
"You'll become numb in a few minutes"
"What?!" Mart stopped what he was doing and turned to the man. "No one told me about this before I drank it"
"If we did, you wouldn't have drank it. If you weren't treated immediately, you could have fell into a coma"
"You could've just taken me to the hospital or something!"
"They are slow over there. Trust me, most of the souls I've harvested are from there. You don't wanna be one of them, do you?"
"No!" Mart crossed his arms and pouted like a little kid
"That's the aftereffect of the juice you had. I told you it was dangerous". Ezekiel turned the car to the left
"No! my house is to the right. Go back" Mart maintained his pout.
"You're a handful" he stopped the car and reversed to turn it around.
Mart looked at the side mirror to check what he looks like, pouting when he saw a figure standing behind the car. "Stop! There's someone back there"
Ezekiel already knew who it was. He stopped the car and stepped out. He walked nonchalantly to the figure and they engaged in a conversation. Mart wasted to eavesdrop, that's when he realized he couldn't move.
Ezekiel came back into the car and started it ready to go. Mart kept looking into the side mirror, watching the mysterious figure.
Suddenly, it disappeared. Mart was shocked for a moment but, he wasn't that surprised.
'Hmm, what have I not seen today? A Dangel, supernatural being with superb healing powers and juices that could paralyze people. You don't surprise me of all things I've seen today'
They went about their ride as Mart directed Ezekiel on the directions to his house in a super expensive estate. The houses there look so unaffordable but no one could compare with Martinez's Mansion.
The Mansion was located in the heart of the estate. It had a splendid two storey structure fitting for a king. Eleven pillars stood from the first storey joining to the ground. There was a huge door standing in the front, five windows on each side. A goose fountain in the front of the mansion, a few meters from the gate.
There was also a white gate preventing them from entering. It had dots like tiny rose petals designing the ground. Its patterns was formed with a real diamond, which had been cut into a rose petal, at the upper most of the gate while gold rose petals are at the gate, five on each sides of the white gate, Forming an 'A' shape on the gate.
"You have such a magnificent home. How are you so sure someone won't take those expensive jewels away?" Ezekiel smirked
"If they're touched, the alarm will activate and those dots on the ground down there, would release a shock wave on anyone on a 5 radius distance. Well, that depends on how many gems were touched at once. They'll go unconscious for twelve hours, a part of their brain would be melted. Same goes for anyone that tries to go over the fence. If it senses any movement, the person's literally a goner"
"That's cruel"
"Tell it to my parents who had the house built this way. You know, I was surprised too when I saw the house. I didn't give them money to build this for me. They didn't want stalkers around me"
"Are they in?"
"Well, they're in heaven...I hope. I live with the hot guards, the maids, my little sister, my bodyguard who's very hard to lose and my best friend who technically lives here now. Her house is one block away but she enjoys staying here"
"Oh"
They approached the gate in silence as they stopped by the voice command centre to open it.
[PLEASE, ENTER PASSCODE]
"Martinez Louis Alejandro" Mart said
[OPENING GATES. PLEASE PROCEED]
The gates opened and Ezekiel drove inside. Immediately, Mart knew there was something off. The guards were nowhere to be found. The light on the porch has been turned off, the lights upstairs are also turned off. Everything was also quiet as if there was no one in the house.
As Ezekiel drove past the Goose fountain, a shadow with a solid form appeared in front of the car. "I thought I told you to go back to Aides" Ezekiel scorned it
"No! This one's here for me" Mart looked at Ezekiel with side eyes before looking back at it.
"What do you mean it's here for you?" Ezekiel looked at him with an indifferent look
"I'll explain myself if I make it out alive this time. I can't move yet. How long is left for my body to be like this?" Mart looked down at himself
"It'll take a while"
"How long?"
"Maybe a hour or so. I don't know. Depends on how much you drank" Ezekiel got out of the car
"Careful! This one reeks of lust. Don't let it hit you. I don't have a cure for it" he told Ezekiel before he closed the door
"You have a lot of explaining to do" Ezekiel closed the door and went straight for the shadow
