Chap. 15

I watch as William chains Michael.

"Unfreeze." William said in a demanding tone.

Michael unfreezes and looks around confused.

"What happened?" He said.

"You just wanted to suck the living life out of your girlfriend." He said.

"He isn't-" I try to say.

More blood comes out.

"My boyfriend." I finish.

"Shall we get ready for the ritual then?" He said walking into the kitchen.

"Why am I chained up and who is that man?" He asks me.

"That is William." I say.

"William who?" He asks.

William goes in Michael face with his super speed.

"Take a good look at my face Michael dear." He said.

Michael's jaw dropped.

"No..." Michael whispered.

William smirked.

"Yes." He said.

Michael instantly lunged at him. But the chains kept him back.

"YOU DID THIS TO ME!" Michael yelled angrily.

"Zi! Help me." He said.

Zi just looked away. Michael looked taken aback and hurt.

"Traitor." He yelled.

Zi flinched at that and left the room.

"Nina. Run, he will hurt you!" He yelled.

"No. It’s okay he won’t." I say.

"Yes! He will! Nina please, do this for me run." He yelled out.

I crawled to Michael and I put my hand on his cheek.

"It’s okay." I say.

"Unchain me Nina, and we can kill him. Together." He said.

I looked in Michael's eyes and tears filled mine as I looked at his desperate eyes.

"It's safer if you stay chained so the blood won’t get to you and so you won’t attack anything." I say.

"Nina..." He whispered.

"I love you Michael." I say.

He didn't say anything.

"Let’s do it." I say getting up and looking at William.

He smiled.

"Perfect." He said.

I walked, or tried to the kitchen with him. He layed me on the counter and lit some candles. 

"Sleep." He said.

My eyes closed forcefully.

I open my eyes and I see a woman. She had soft brown eyes and curly short hair. She was also dark skin.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"Katherine." She said smiling warmly.

"What is happening?" I ask.

"This is a dream sweetie." She said.

"How do you know if you're a figment of my imagination?" I ask.

"Because I’m not. I'm the mother of Michael, Michael Jackson." She said.

"How are you here?" I ask.

"You are close to death right now. So I get a chance to see you." She says.

"Oh." I say.

"Am I dead?" I ask.

"No. Just close." She said.

"Can you help me?" She asks me.

"How?" I ask.

"My Michael. I never got to tell him I loved him." She said.

Anger bubbled in me.

"But you didn't love him! You called him devilish!" I yell.

"No need to yell." She said.

I noticed she was crying.

"I'm sorry miss Jackson." I say.

"No. It’s okay." She says

"Please, tell Michael that I love him and please tell him to forgive me." She cries.

"I will." I say.

"Thank you." She whispers.

I hug her. She felt too frail and old. She started disappearing.

"Katherine!" I yell.

"You're waking up." She says.

I shoot up awake. I am breathing really hard.

William was looking at me with wide eyes.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes." I say.

"Did it work?" I ask.

He goes back to his smug face.

"Of course." He said.

"Thank you." I say.

I hop off the counter desperate to get to Michael. William came in front of me.

"Excuse me." I say.

"No. Not yet." He said.

"What?" I ask suspiciously.

"You still have a price to pay." He says.

"You never said anything about that!" I say.

"You have to pay." He said.

"I will go home and get some money, gosh!" I say shoving him.

But he doesn't move.

"I don't want money." He says.

"Then what do you want?" I ask.

"You." He said.

"Whoa." I say.

"Not in that way." He said waving his hand.

"I mean I want you as my slave. I lost my other one." He said.

 "What if I say no?" I say crossing my arms.

"I will turn you." He said.

"And I will take you to court." I say.

"What are you talking about you little girl?" He asks me squinting his eyes.

"I will take you to court!" I say.

"As in hangings?" He asks me.

"How old are you grandpa?" I ask.

"I'm only 40,000 years old. I don't look too bad for my age right?" He asked fixing his hair.

"Meh." I say.

He notices he is getting distracted and goes back to his smug face.

"Don't try and distract me. Now just seal our bond as owner and slave." He says grabbing my wrist.

"NO!" I yell.

"You tricked me!" I say.

"What do you think I do?" He says.

"HELP!" I yell.

"Nina?!" Michael screams.

I hear the bangs on the wall as he tries to break free.

Zi comes running in but she is frozen in a second.

 "Let them go!" I say.

"Fine. But don't expect to leave with them." He said.

"I don't care. As long as they are safe." I say gritting my teeth.

"Well if you please." He sighed. He snapped his fingers and Zi unfroze and headed out the door. I heard chains dangle and I watch as Michael walks out the door.

"There." He said.

"Now, your payment." He said.

I gulp. I have to do this for Michael. And for Zi. He grabbed a knife from the table and cut his forearm. He handed it to me. I felt nervousness creep up me.

"You know you can't see that boy again. What is his name again? Matthew?" He says thinking. I look at his open wound and no blood came from it. It was just this empty clear space.

How dare he. He just easily forgot Michael's name. Like he meant nothing. When he took his life.

"It’s Michael." I say between my teeth.

"Oh yeah. You can't see him again." He said.

 "WHAT?!" I ask.

"Yeah. I said you can't see him. Now quickly before I heal." He said.

I saw his wound closing up. 

"Great." He says sarcastically.

"Can you at least let me say goodbye?" I ask my voice breaking.

"Fine. I will give you a chance to say goodbye. But right now he is probably just figuring out what happened and coming for you right now." He said.

"In three, two, one." He says.

And I before my eyes I see Michael slam William on the wall by the collar.

"What did you do to her?" He said.

"Nothing. Calm down Michael." William said calmly.

But Michael didn't calm down.

"You're going to die if you touched a finger on her!" He said shoving him harder against the wall.

"Okay, maybe a finger and probably more than that." William said lifting his eyebrows up and down.

Michael growled and threw him across the room. Michael grabbed me and didn't even do it with care. He just grabbed me by my collar and dragged started dragging me out.

"Stop Michael." William said.

But Michael hadn't stopped.

"I SAID STOP!" He said.

Michael walked even faster to the door.

"WHY ISN'T IT WORKING ON YOU?!" William yelled. I never saw him lose his temper like that.

"Nina. Stop."William said.

I stopped instantly. I couldn't move. I tried but nothing worked.

"Let her go!" Michael yelled turning back to William.

"Oh I will." He said.

"Nina come to me." He said.

I walked over to William against my will. I couldn't speak. 

He handed me a wooden stick.

"Kill Matthew- I mean Michael." He said.

I turned to Michael and I walked towards him with the wooden stick. I couldn't stop myself. What was going on? I didn't want to kill him. I tried all my might to stop moving. It worked for a second but I went right back to walking. When I got up to Michael I tried jabbing it in to his heart but he stopped me and threw the stick on the ground. This time I was faster I grabbed the stick and I aimed at him with full speed. 

"Stop using her as your puppet! Come and fight me like a real man you pathetic excuse for one." Michael yelled.

He dodged me.

Tears came out of my eyes. I was crying. I looked at Michael.

I'm sorry. Is what I mouthed before I charged at him.
