Dimitri!!

That was the only thought that was in my mind. I want to be with him, I need to be with him.

I don't have a single clue of what is happening to me. My body is moving but I'm not the one in control of my actions.

I now seem to be aware of everything. Everything now seems clear. Like I couldn't see them before. Wow! Nature is beautiful!

Fuck those who say the economy is more important than the environment. If you think the economy is more important to the environment, then try holding your breath for a day.

Woah! I got here pretty fast. My hand involuntarily moves to knock on the door and as if sensing I was there, Dimitri opens the door and I see the same look in his eyes.

"Finally! I've been waiting!", he says pulling me into a bear hug and immediately, I return back to normal. I am now in control of my body again. Yay!

But I still feel very aware of my surroundings. It's like my sixth sense is on edge and it was then I picked up an aura. An aura of love that's tinged with sadness.

I break the hug and see Dimitri's hazelnut coloured eyes filled with so much sadness. I hope I'm not the cause of it.

Of course you are!!

My conscience tells me.

Dimitri really loves me and he isn't lying

"I had a dream Anita and Zayn says we are ready to face the demon", he says breaking the awkward silence.

"Ready? Did you say he said I was ready?", I ask astonished. I wasn't and I am not ready! I don't think I'm ready!

"No, he didn't say you're ready", he says with a raised eyebrow and a hint of a smile threatening to show itself on his face

"Oh, thank goodness, I was already starting to..."

"He said 'we' are ready", Dimitri answers finally letting go of the  laughter at my shocked expression and also putting emphasis on the 'we'

Anita calm down! Don't freak out! How can me tell me to not freak out. Of course I'd freak out, damn I'm freaking out. I'm not ready. I don't think I'm ready. I don't think I'll ever be. Besides, he hasn't taught me to control emotions and I don't even know how to pick up auras or emotions.

"Calm down Anita, you definitely don't want to have a panic attack" he says jokingly but anyone would have sensed the hint of worry in his voice.

"Never in the history of calming has anyone calmed down just by being told to calm down", I say repeating what he told me the last time and to also lessen the tension in the air.

"Why don't we go to my room so we can talk about this more", he says pulling me off of the couch and dragging me, literally, to his room.

I smile as the thought of what happened the last time I was there replayed in my memories.

He slams the door, making me flinch a little and also bringing me out of my reverie.

'Oh', was all I said as I realized he really wants to talk. I was hoping we'd do something fun.

"What happened?", he asked worried.
"Nothing", I say trying to avoid eye contact.

He uses his fore finger to lift up my chin so I was looking at him straight in the eye.

"Then why the sad look on your pretty face", he says now tracing along my jaw line and to my neck then to my collar bone.

"N..n..nothing?", I stutter then smile.
"That's better, you're prettier than Agbani Darego when you smile and also when you're pissed but not when you're sad", he says telling me that I'm prettier than the first ever 'miss world'

He quickly removes his hand and I immediately began to miss the feel of his hands on my body.

"Well, Zayn appeared in my dreams and asked me some pretty tough question", he begins.

"Like what?", I ask, imploring him to go on

"Like, riddles and I answered none", he says huffing and folding his hands at the same.

Awwn.... He's so cute. Did I just think that? What am I turning into?
"Well I answered all", I state proudly.

"I know! He was going to tell me how my music is going to help but seems someone pissed him off and his demon began to appear but he did manage to say we are ready and we should be prepared. That all we have to do is listen to our heart and instincts"

That's it. Just follow our hearts and instincts, but they might be wrong!

"They're never wrong", Dimitri says smiling.

"Are you....hold on a sec!", I stopped abruptly as I sense an evil aura. My eyes suddenly glaze over. I think Dimitri sensed it too because he stood in front of me protectively.

"It is time!", we both say in unison. He opens his closet and brings out a trombone.

We then both rushed downstairs and we see Zayn. Zayn is trying to prevent the demon from surfacing, or so I think.

"We need to move him to the river where everything is desolate", Dimitri suggests and I nod.

Dimitri goes ahead of me to the river and I go back to grab a pistol. I wonder what Nina would say about this.

Just as I was about to leave the house, I see aunt Emelia come out with Nina.

"We want to help", they chorus and I only shrug. I wasn't going to persuade them to change their mind. The more people, the lesser responsibility.

As the three of us leave the house, I hear the music coming from the trombone.

It's time to end this demon!!

THIRD PERSON NARRATIVE
*****

As Anita, Emelia and Nina leaves the house, the music from the trombone begins to play, thereby attracting Zayn or rather the demon towards the river.

"Superior let it go", Emelia shouts at the top of her voice.

It is very obvious the demon is pissed and wants to be free to wreck havoc but Zayn doesn't want to have any of it.

"Okay guys, whatever happens, aim for the left side of his head and not the heart", Emelia shouts at the top of her voice so she can be heard over Dimitri's music.

"But why?", Nina asks

"The left side of the head is where the demon's brain is, if you get it, you've gotten the demon. The heart is solely for Zayn, hit it and he dies, got it?"

"Got it", the small team chorus in unison.

You can see the look of confusion on Anita's face as she probably has no clue of what she is to do. She closes her eyes and opens them again exhaling deeply.

You can see the look of fear on Dimitri's face. His hands are shaking as he plays the trombone. The music only seems to infuriate the demon more!

Emelia and Nina looks relaxed. No, they are relaxed.

Then just before any other movement could take place, Anita moves her left hand over her right hand and immediately after this action, the demon's body turned towards her.

Anita looked stunned for a bit. What she doesn't know is that she just charged the monster's pissed self towards her.

She just controlled his emotions.

From the scenario, Nina throws a poisonous dart, hitting him right at his left bicep.
The monster is so big he doesn't even feel it.

Emelia is whispering to Nina, telling her to throw more poisonous dart so that it will weaken the demon.

Emelia tries to charge the demon out of its host but the demon isn't having any of it.

Dimitri's instrument transforms to a violin. Everyone looks at him with a surprised expression plastered on their faces. He himself is so surprised he pauses the music.

Little does he know that, the less he plays, the more energy the demon regains.

Anita must have sensed the change of energy in the air as this new energy is too powerful for her to control because she suddenly yells;

"Quit drooling and start grooving the music"

This definitely snaps him from his reverie as he plays with so much vigour.

Nina throws more darts, Emelia tries to charge the demon away from Zayn, Dimitri plays harder than he ever has and Anita tries to get used to controlling the demon as quickly as possible.

Anita using her left hand to control Zayn into going into the water, she takes out a knife and throw it towards Zayn.

Everything stops momentarily except for Zayn's solemn music playing in the background.

The knife does some flip and the demon dodges it and it went right into Dimitri's left shoulder.

Dimitri immediately falls to the ground, Emelia and Nina rush to Dimitri's aid as Anita just stands there stunned.

She didn't mean for that to happen. She drops to her knees and wishes  the tears will come out now but they didn't budge.

Follow your heart and your instinct, they are never wrong

Dimitri's word from earlier on floats through her mind. She got up and ran to him.

When she got to him, she more or less ordered Nina and Emelia to continue what they were doing. She then knelt down beside Dimitri and plunged the dagger out of the shoulder.

Dimitri couldn't do anything but stare into her eyes and wish She'll learn to love.

She orders Dimitri to sit up and she tears a piece of her shirt and wraps it around his shoulder like gauze.

Then on instinct, she kisses the wound and to everyone's astonishment, it begins healing.

Dimitri looks at Anita with with adoration and Anita looks at him, also with adoration.

They both lean in and kiss each other before Nina has to spoil the moment by saying;

"It's a good thing you're healing but this is not the time to be kissing because we've got a demon situation here"

Dimitri and Anita groans before breaking the kiss.

Now Anita is pissed, the demon is going to face a pissed Anita and a pissed Anita means trouble.

She orders Dimitri to continue playing the flute. Sometime within the whole commotion, the violin changed to a flute.

"What are you doing?", Dimitri asks as he picks up the flute.

"Something, I should have done a long time ago", Anita replies running off to the tallest tree.

She quickly climbed it and sat at the tallest branch.

She brought out her pistol and aimed for his head.

But how can she aim if he isn't going to stay in place.

She uses her left hand to hold him in place and boom!

She fires! Ooo!

She gets him! And boom! She shoots again probably for missing the knife.

Anita suddenly senses the peace in the environment again. She smiles before looking down and seeing Zayn in bruises, she decides to come down from the tree.

She cockily steps on a branch but looks like the branch wasn't strong enough to hold her because she falls from the tree.

She lands hard, pretty hard, on the ground and she slips into coma but the last thing she sees were a pair of hazelnut shaped and colored eyes......
