The next day Jack went to check on Jessica and Carlos, he found Jessica wide awake and staring up at the ceiling she looked bored but otherwise ok. He looked at the tail and the wings that had appeared since “shadow guy” had attacked her last night. The tail was red and like a devils trident the wings were made of bone-like spines that had many joints in them, connected by grey waxy skin. He would get doctor Finkelstien to find out what a Skeleus demon and a Biomechanica were. Jack turned and walked into Carlos’s room, he winced when he saw the metal like substance that covered half of his body, he too had a tail and wings his tail was like a metal snake and one wing was like that of an Christmas angle whilst the other was again metal and brutal.
Jack walked down the stairs, fiddling with his bat bow tie.
“How are they?” said Sally, looked up at Jack, she had checked them herself but she was worried jack and noticed something she hadn’t.
“Fine, fine” Jack sat down, he had a worried expression on his face, the name Skeleus demon meant something to him, and the part he did remember was something bad. Biomechanica was bad as well Jack was sure of it. “I’ll go to doctor Finkelstien, find out what Skeleus demon and Biomechanica are”
“Ok” Sally had the same serious face Jack did; she was thinking the same thing. Jack left the house five minutes later; he walked down the steps, through the gate and into chaos.
The town wasn’t ruined, not by a long stretch it was just in total chaos, muted chaos no one stood still everyone ran, Jack saw that they believed no one could trust each other even husband and wife seemed to be split apart, not as much as others but still split apart. Jack ran to the lab, the town could wait right now Jack’s children could be in danger and he wasn’t prepared to let them get hurt.
If Jack had been alive, by the time he had got through to Doctor Finkelstien he would not be able to say one word and would have had stitch so bad the pain may have sent his to his knees. Luckily for us he isn’t alive so specking is just fine.
“DOCTOR!?” Jack said the words louder then he wanted to, but he desperately needed to talk to him and fast, Jack had no clue what was going on but he knew it was somehow connected with his children.
“J-JACK?” The voice that Jack knew belonged to the doctor shook with uncontrollable fear.
“Doctor Finkelstien? What’s wrong?” Jack looked around and saw that the doctor was backed into the furthest corner of the room. Jack approached him with extreme caution.
“Everything my boy, everything”
“What do you mean?”
“Someone or something…” Jack interrupted him before he could finish
“Someone, some quack called shadow guy” The doctor nodded then carried on.
“Someone, put a fear spell on the town and messed with my latest experiments, they,” the doctor took a deep breath then said “they seem to be electrolyte demons”
“They seem to be?”
“Electrolyte demons, demons that make their own electricity, but they do not depend upon it”
“I see, how long will the fear spell last?”
“Normally they last about a day, but you may want to call a town meeting it may snap some people out of it, letting them hear a voice they trust”
“Doctor, shadow guy, he turned my children into demons” The doctor’s face burst in shock, he let it relax then said.
“What kind?”
“Skeleus and Biomechanica” Jack said, hoping with all his might that the doctors face would not be shocked or fearful. The doctor’s face didn’t look shocked or fearful, it looked shocked <i> and </i> fearful.
“Something wrong?” jack knew there was but it paid to be polite
“yes, very, Biomechanias are fine though some of your DNA may make him lose skin and muscle when he is older as I have warned you, but Skeleus if brought up wrongly, Jack, Jessica could end up killing the whole town, she MUST I say again MUST be taught how to live, as long as her heart is in the right place she should be fine” The doctor hastily added in how there was hope for the girl, for Jack’s face had fallen faster than the pumpkins that landed on the railings in “this is Halloween”.
“ok, are you sure?”
“Yes, Jessica will be very strong, Jack there is another thing, I have reason to believe that Jessica Carlos and my two newest creations were born white souls, I think I’m wrong but I may not be”
Jack backed away. “and they didn’t die when they were born like most white souls do, and if they are white souls and they have not yet died, it means they must have some evil in them by now, making them,”
“Members of the dark twelve” Jack finished the doctor’s sentence for him
“Yes,” the doctor opened to mouth to carry on, but Jack had begun to ran, no longer wanting to hear what the doctor had to say, not the dark twelve, ANYTHING but the dark twelve, but as Jack broke out of the lab and into the sun he remembered the doctor had said ‘I think I’m wrong’ and that gave Jack hope. Jack ran home to tell sally she had to know, but if the Doctor thought he was wrong he probably was his children would be ok!
Then a sound floated upon the wind, a sound Jack had never wanted to hear again. He was no longer certain that the Doctor was wrong. He heard something he knew only he could hear it hurt him and the confident smile ran off his face, he looked at the silent and tidy chaos that surrounded him; he knew that things would never be the same. He cocked his head, a sad expression upon his face as he listened to the xylophones only he could hear.
