Chapter Twenty nine

The following morning, "good morning Tori". A masculine voice lets go to me.
I raised up from the bed and met a familiar face staring at me, "you!! David is that you?"
He smiles and seats next to me, "yeah, it is me!!! I have been watching you from afar". (David's words to me)
A cloud of excitement drops on, " so, it's true, you're alive!! Alvin wasn't lying to us". (I said)
David gets up from the bed and dooms a strange look, "I cannot say, anything for now but I promise, I'll make sure to explain everything when the time is right". (He airs out)
"Seriously!!! When the time is right" ( my eyes looked around and when I returned back to speak, David was nowhere to be found).
"David" i called out, but heeds to someone voice, "did you just call my brother?". (Alvin tunes my eyes back to him)
He walks further, donning a tensed look, "did you call my brother? Was David here?" (Copies his initial words to me)
I said,  "yes!! I also saw him, not quite long". (Answered in a calm tone)
Alvin face lits up, "finally!!! You know believe me when I said, his spirit is around, and tell me what did he say?.
"Nothing!!! He didn't tell me anything" ( left him and went to the restroom).
Afterwards, I came over to the restaurant, and met Mr fabain there, he weaves my attention and watched while I made my way through.
"Good morning Tori" he says
"Good morning sir!! Do you perhaps want to threaten me" I said in a pissed tone.
A weak smile on, he disapproved my idea, "not really, but I'll like you to please assist me, on a mission".
"What mission?" (My words to him)
So he said, " the mission to find out, if David is truly alive or not".
I locked up my eyes to his and wondered what kind of plan he wishes to gain my assistance, "I don't understand, what plan do you mean?".  (Added and iddls for him to speak)
(Inaudible conversation)
According to Mr fabain, he says and i quote, " the best way to find out if there's a ghost hunting my son, we need to pay a visit to a spiritualist".
"A spiritualist? And how to find one?" ( I asked and met him smiling)
"You will be able to see this night and please, Alvin shouldn't know about it, he hates things like this?". (He gets up from the chair and left me alone).
The same day, as earlier planned, Mr fabain and I, boarded a taxi to a place hidden from the city, "where are we going" I inquired as we ambled further to a cottage.
"Keep quiet" he signaled and gets the  front door opened.
"Welcome Mr fabain"
A lady airs publicly to our hearing, she tunes her eyes back and met me, "good day, Tori". Adds up and waits.
"Thank you Alyssa for helping us, but we came for something important" ( Fabian and I fills up the space between us)
Alyssa smiles and faced her Crystal bowl,  she hummed a particular weird song, while we anxiously looked at her.
(Continues talking)
"Do you really want to know what the crystal bowl showed me?". ( Alyssa said)
"Yes please, what does it say?" ( Mr Fabian adds up In a hate and listened to what she had to say)
Alyssa's turns her eyes and falls it on  me while speaking, she says, "Life has a way of making us pay for our sins, and concerning the what you told me, yes!!! Your son is being hunted by the spirit of his dead brother".
(Eyes locked together)
what?" Mr fabain airs out in disbelief.
Alyssa kept her countenance on me while Mr fabain vents out and leaves me behind.
"Hold on Tori"
I attempted to leave but  haltes when she calls me back.
I turned and said, "yes please".
Alyssa adds up her words to me, "who are you?".  She inquiries
An odd look on my counternance , "what exactly do you mean by such words?". ( Answered back, i waited to hear her come back)
" Don't you understand? I'll explain"
(Continues talking)
"There was a particular information, I couldn't tell, while Mr fabain was here and now he left, it's best I open up".
"What information?". ( Donned a curious look as let's out to me)
"The information that tell where your heart truly lies between the one you love and the one you thought you loved?".
Alyssa was spoke in riddles and I couldn't understand what she meant that such statement to me.
"Erm!! I don't understand" (still confused I signaled).
So she said, "what are you confused about!!! Listen to me, a friendly advise, search deep within your heart fire to see who you truly loves and who is the one for you".
(Tori!!")
Mr fabain calls out to me, In a haste I left without altering a single word to Alyssa.
(Back at the hotel)
We all ambled further and met Alvin waiting at the lobby, he turns and falls his attention on us, "where did you both go to?".
Mr fabain walks in and decides to derail to another topic, "what do you mean!! Can't I go out without my son's permission?". 
The defensive attitude, made Alvin rethink his words, " it's not what I meant dad but I looked for you both everywhere and thought maybe, David's spirit might have kidnapped you, since Tori here got to also see him as well.
"Wait, Tori has spoken with David". ( All eyes falls on me, waiting for an explanation).
"Tell father the truth?" ( Alvin commands and falls back the second his attention drits away from me).
( He walks away in a dash)
"Son, where are you going too?".
Thankfully the situation changed and we ended up following Alvin who rushed after a man wearing a dark colored shades.
"Who the hell are you?". ( The man airs publicly)
Alvin fronts and tossed the man's glasses on the floor only to infern the truth, "oh my goodness, I am sorry" he says in disbelief.
Mr fabain and i ran closer  draged him back, and apologized to the man, he embarrassed at the hotel.
"I am so sorry sir" ( I said but he refused to listen, rather the man threatened to get Alvin arrested for harassment.
(Inaudible conversation)
It's been long enough, but luckily Mr fabain came in agreement with the man, I had no idea what they both talked about that got him to change his mind.
"What is wrong with you?"
Alvin seats at the lobby and gets scolded by his father, "speak up, you little prick?". ( He says In a pissed tone).
"Father, I am sorry but I thought I saw David". ( Alvin words out to us)
Mr fabain frowns and latched out again, " I am sick and tried of your crazy game and please, tomorrow morning, you will be going to the doctor, for a check up and please don't you even think of saying no, or else, I'll tie you up and get you to the hospital by Force".
( Unfrozed and left without hesitation)
I buffed out a deep breath,and left him behind at the lobby, I don't know if David is truly alive or is someone trying to play with Alvin's sanity.
(Frowns)
The following morning, I got up to notice a package at the door, who must have kept this?" I said to myself only to infern Alvin ambling forward.
He stops midway, "Tori, are you okay?".  He asked and falls his eyes downwards to see the package on my hand.
"What is that?". Adds up his words to me.
I jiggled my head and answered, " I don't know, thought you might have sent it to me".
"Of cause not, I never sent a package to you". Alvin affirms and drifts his eyes on mr fabain ambling closer, holding the same package in his hand.
"Father". He calls out to him
"Good morning son" Mr fabain took a step forward and falls his eyes on me.
"Oh, Tori, I can see you have the same package". Adds up, winding his eyes back to Alvin.
"Did you send this to Tori?". Alvin inquired, "no, son, I found this package on my front door" Mr fabain says, smurfing a confused look on our faces.
I wondered who did?" That's my head talking, but got the answer to it, when I noticed a written note on the ground.
So I dicked down and read through it, "this is to cordially invite you to Devon's  Masquerade ball, tonight".
Mr fabain shared a look at his son and both altered out the same time, "a masquerade ball?". 
I jiggled my head and reacted, " yes please, a masquerade ball".
"I wonder who Devon might be?"
Mr fabain inquired
"Only one way to find out". Alvin response and lefts with his own package..
(The same day)
We all donned in our different attires and left to the  venue, "damn" I mouthed after the car stopped in front of a huge mansion, yet again wonder who Mr Devon is?....
A man walks past and disappeared into the crowd, I tied my eye trying to see who he was but Alvin drits my attention elsewhere.
He says, "shall we dance?"
I looked round and deep down, urged to say no, but accidentally a little girl bumped into me,and I  added up by taking Alvin's hand.
He smiles his way to the dance floor and gently placed his left hand on mine, while we moon walked to the song playing.
A while later, the atmosphere darkened and I felt a weird aura heaved around me.
My norm attitude got Alvin to ask, "are you okay?". Only to fall back his attention when a masculine voice airs out to us.
The voice says, " welcome everyone, and thank you for accepting my invitation!!! I am Devon Shane".
Apparently, I kept asking the same question, about his identity, but falls short the second, he (Devon) peels off the masks covering his identity.
Alvin pulls back donning a startled look on his face, after confronting the truth staring at us.
"Is that David?" I asked myself and meet Alvin's shaking within.
Mr fabain pulls his son away from my reach and they both talked with their hands demonstrating.
I turned my eyes back but Devon was in no way found, he must have left, I said, but bumped my way to a waiter, who passed a bottle of wine to me.
(Inaudible conversation)
Alvin couldn't believe his eyes, and I know he was going to confront, if truly Devon was his brother or not.
The party finally came to an end, one after the other, the guests left to their different destination, yet Alvin refused to budge without knowing the truth.
He soars his eyes and took notice of Devon ambling into tht garden and not a single one said, Alvin ran after him, and we followed suit.
