Chapter 24 - 2.7

For two weeks he suffered from nightmares, He called them nightmares but they were not as bad as the one he had before in this world it was just a figure wrapped in shadows grinning at him with sharp teeth and repeating the same thing over and over.

["Do you know yourself? Do you know who you are? Do you know your name?]

These words made him uncomfortable, He tried to ignore them nut recently strange things started happening around him. The glass by his bedside had moved to the living room when he woke up. The book he had placed on the shelf ended up on his bedside. The sunflowers he kept changed into forget-me-not, The frame he like was broken and placed in the balcony. Was he being haunted by a ghost?.

The little girl who had followed him home expressed her innocence by appearing in his dreams and the result was that he wouldn't listen to her at all because he was almost unconscious after their meeting. The little ghost girl says that he is a coward.

The day for the concert arrived and Ryse felt restless something big was about to happen. It was the calm before the storm. Angeline arrived at his doorsteps at eleven in the morning to pick him up and drive to the concert hall. Ryse sat in the waiting room and ended up drinking five boxes of orange juice in his anxiety and than had to rush to the washroom three times just minutes before the concert started. All this while he was too lost in his anxiety to notice his reflection doing some kind of action in the mirror towards him with the creepy smile.

The ghost girl rolled her eyes at the reflection and busied herself by staring at Ryse. Ryse was already dressed in the outfit and waiting for the makeup artist to arrive for the finishing touches. When all was done and ready he was guided to the back stage. The whispers from the hall could already be heard, He read the lips of the person in front of him who seemed to be saying 'There are about a total of two thousand people in the audience and still many other's outside' Ryse felt like he might suffer from stage fright if so many eyes focused on him. Thankfully the original soul was still there he could just unleash the Original Micah's obsession with singing and he won't have to suffer from stage fright.

With this plan in mind he stepped onto the propeller and set foot on the stage. The moment he with all his courage arrived at the center of the stage he felt his soul fluctuate. He whipped his head up and looked straight at the audience. The fluctuation was coming from there, His soul shard was somewhere in the audience!. His hetero chrome eyes swiped from side to side and suddenly collided with another pair of hetero chrome eyes the same as his own.

He sucked in a startled breath 'Si yang!? QAQ'. The lights dimmed and the intro to 'SILENCE' began to play, Ryse had stood barefoot on the stage hidden behind the props placed cleverly. Feeling the low vibration starting to pick up he closed his eyes restlessly. Bringing forth the love for singing, It was not hard considering the original's obsession. Before long Ryse felt his control slip slightly, He could not hear but with the practice in so many months with the song 'SILENCE' he was confident there would be no mistake in pitch.

The feeling of disaster was still there buzzing deep in his mind he knew something would definitely happen and he will not be able to avoid it. The three men dubbed as guardians by Maria were prepared this time. The hidden person will show there tail someday. That day was today, If Andre was to be believed.

The person in the shadows had come prepared as well today they will take down this man surely! They will stop the birth of the son of the world! Only if his father is killed!

Halfway through the concert Ryse suddenly received a prompt from the main system.

[WARNING OUTSIDER DETECTED WITHIN TWO METERS OF THE MISSIONER. MISSIONER IS REQUESTED TO ELIMINATE THE OUTSIDER WITHIN THREE HOURS COUNTDOWN 02:59:42]

'F***! the concert will last an hour! And there are two thousand people in audience! How the heck do I know which one is the outsider! QAQ'

On the other side Andre smiled "The culprit has shown it's tail get ready to capture"

"Understood" A group in black answered in unison and ran out of the control room with their radio communication devices.

"Man you are really powerful" Victor rolled his eyes in the background.

"Of course he is after all he is the boss of the Underground number one mafia group" Answered Alan.

"WTF? He is a what?" Victor was shocked. You can't blame him after all how was he supposed to know the this psycho friend of his friend was a mafia boss when he had a job like a psychiatrist?'

"I am not the boss" Andre pushed up his silver rimmed glasses," I am the boss's assistant"

""Say what?""

"What."

"No seriously say what? If you are not the boss than who is?" Victor was even more confused now

" Boss doesn't like to be in the limelight so most of the work like investigating or like this one is thrown to me. Boss has his own way of doing things he is kind of a loner" Andre smiled, "It's time, Get her without making a ruckus. Keep an eye out for her accomplice"

{Yes sir!} the voices came from the radio placed on the side.

"Is it really going to be easy?" Alan spoke not really asking the other two.

{Capture success the accomplice has been spotted and is being captured by the other team}

"Bring her to me" Andre commanded.

"This.....was too easy, I feel like we have been tricked." The moment Alan spoke there was a black out.

"Heh" Andre chuckled sarcastically, "I had already known, Don't worry Micah will be fine. This is just the beginning"

*Boom* There was a sound of an explosion and screams of people. The came back on and people found that everything was the same it did not look like an explosion had occurred. They were right because it was not a real explosion it was recorded sound.

----------------------------

"Oh my.....It is time I see" Maria chuckled, The concert was already finished the fiasco had happened at the end of the concert. Maria slipped into the backstage while the staff apologized to the audience for the scare and gave them each free gifts to appease them.

Maria entered the dressing room and saw him sitting in front of the dressing table with his head tilted back and eyes closed. "Well well well, If it isn't my dear Maria"

Ryse spoke opening one eye which was pitch black with a wide smile on his face. Maria scoffed walking up to him and staring him down with her dark eyes.

"So you have finally shown yourself ***** ***"

"You wound me my dear ******, It's not like i wanted to appear" 'Ryse' muttered clutching his chest dramatically.

"You and i will have a long talk, But now is not the time" Maria spoke reaching out to caress his cheek.

'Ryse' smiled tilted his head into her small hand, "What about 'Him'?" He asked.

"He is none of our concern" Maria answered, "You don't have much time i know, So i will make this quick" She leaned down and whispered in his ear. Moving back she walked out of the room,"Now then to get that woman"

A few minutes after she left a young man with hetero chrome eyes wearing a black suite walked out of the concert hall his face void of emotions his eyes narrowed lazily.

"Boss over here!" Hearing the shout the man turned and walked over to the black Mercedes and sat in when the young man opened the door for him.

"Boss where to next?"

"Go back" The man answered his tone cold, He turned his head slightly looking outside the tinted glass window. His mind flashed with wide two colored eyes and he couldn't help but smile faintly "So we have met" He whispered, Raising his hand to glance at the silver ring that had a black rose intricately designed on it "You want this, Heh".
