Chapter 4:

Naomi

Devil’s Lullaby


    His face isn't happy or shocked like he found a lost sister, he thought had died or found someone who his lost sister, who had died. No, it's more like hate or disappointment for that name . I guess we have something in common. The aches in my butt tells me I've been sitting on Gail too long. I sit him up against the wall of the motel and Aiden rushes towards me and bumps me out of the way. He starts demanding answer while pulling the guys collar.

"How do you know my sister? What did you do to her? Who took my sister?"

Aiden's words don't match his facial expression when his sister's name was first said. When he first heard Naomi he was shocked, which immediately turned into disgust. But, this is a worried boy wondering where his sister is. Or an act? He never did ask where his sister was, it's more like he was avoiding the question or never wanted to know. It all sounds like a past I would rather not get involved in. 

I step forward and put my hand on his shoulder, putting the slightest bit of pressure on it. Reassuring him he can let me handle it. He reluctantly steps back a few feet, so he can still hear us and crosses his arms to shield himself from the growing wind.

"Alright, sorry about that. I'm going to ask you some questions and each time you lie I will break a finger. Ok?"

He nods his head slowly," Good. Now tell me how you force a contract onto someone?"

" I don't know, how it works exactly, but I use this stamp with a symbol on it. "

"A stamp? What do you mean?"

" It's a circle with words....maybe letters on the edge of it. It has a box with a plus sign in the middle , I think. I step that on the person and they make a contract."

I look behind me to Aiden, to see if he remember this symbol from Danny's book. He nods his head to confirm. She's using a summoning circle to force or sell people immunity. It's a win win deal for both Alloces and the user. But, even so, how did she do it? Summonings used to be the only way to meet a demon and form a contract. Demons were more bent to the tide of humans, so when more Angels started to accept prayers Demons went extinct. Untill the 1920s or 30s when the war broke out and the angels couldn't accept or get to every prayer.

The wind is growing thin and it won't mask our voices any longer. Also I can hear police cars in the distance getting closer. It'll most likely be here in 3mins, which leaves us enough time for one more question. I need to find my last guy and I can finally get to hell, so I begin to ask where Naomi is. However, the bull sees red and gets out his question before me.

" How do you undo the contract."

" I don't know."

He's lying and Aiden knows it as well. He starts shaking him up a bit to no results. I pull up his hand from his side and start popping his finger joints out of place. He screams.

" I told you if you lie, I'll break your fingers, so just tell the truth."

He gets all his cry's and sniffles out and finally begins to speak," al-all I know is th-that she said to-to erase the summoning spell on-on the guys n-neck and it-it should erase t-the contract. But I had to use a special stamp and I already gave it back to Naomi"

I hear the police getting close and hope Aiden got all the information he needed to erase the contract. I raise my fist and knock it into his skull. Knocking him out and hopefully forgetting this conversation. I grab Aiden's hand and rush towards the car, throwing him inside and then getting in myself. I head out of the motel parking lot and about 30 secs later I pass the police. Only when they turn into the motel without stopping, do I finally allow myself to breath.

"Help me."

I knew he was quiet for too long.

"I'm not helping you find anyone."

He turns sternly to me and with a very serious face says," my only goal is to die."

He shocked me, so much I laughed out loud. I had almost forgot he was a suicidal maniac. 

"Ok, let strike a deal. You help me get to hell and I'll help you die and go wherever."

"Deal."

No hesitation or questions even if that means I have to kill his sister. I'm starting to like this kid.
