The house of madness

Chapter thirteen: Instructions.

Tom sat back down on his throne and watched Hailey leave. She was like a little child, so innocent. That was the problem with mind wiping multiple times, it messed with the host’s mind. That and it made Tom feel sick, like he was dying. His parents thought that he was mistreating his power and that’s why he was on the brink of death. Tom scoffed. He would show them. He would show them all. He promised himself that he would keep Hailey alive. As for Jaron…he could care less. Maybe it was selfish but Hailey looked so much like…Leah. He would rid the world of all evil and the whole earth would belong to him and him alone. The people in the world were like ants, all working together in pretend peace until something cracked and they all ran in circles. Tom would bring order to the world. And if they didn’t listen? He would destroy it. Wipe them all out. “Marvelo! Morbax!” Tom bellowed. A few seconds later the two henchmen came in. “You called sir?” Marvelo asked. Morbax said nothing. “Morbax. What is the news?” Tom asked. Morbax’s eyes were blood shot and he looked exhausted. “Not much. Their have been rumors though of mysterious figure going around killing former peacekeepers of a city called Tortuga. The last person killed was a peacekeeper in training named Jane Williams. They found her with a rope around her neck hanging from the roof of her house. Before her another peacekeeper was killed. He was found in his kitchen with his neck slit. His wife was killed as well and their child was left to die. ” Morbax said in a casual tone as if discussing the weather. “Who is this mysterious killer?” Tom asked. Morbax shrugged. “Im not sure. The only people who have seen his face are dead.” Tom nodded. “Okay. Tell your soldiers to advance on the lightning phoenix kingdom.” Tom said. “But sir we haven’t covered all exits and we might lose soldiers.” Morbax said. “Soldiers are easy to replace. Do as I say…unless you want your little daughter to die.” Morbax’s face lost all its color. “Yes my liege. I’m sorry. Me and Natalie with advance the troops.” He then bowed his way out. “Marvelo. The scientist told me that the betrayers were ready for brain washing. Once they’ve been brain washed keep them away from Hailey. We don’t need anything triggering her old memories.” Marvelo cleared his throat. “My liege, the betrayers escaped this morning.” Marvelo said. Tom shook with rage. His eyes rolled upward and underneath the eyes were black. But before he exploded in rage Tom took a deep breath and grasped the sides of his throne with white knuckled hands. “Marvelo…(Tom breathed deeply)…send men to find them or it will NOT end well for YOU!”
