Ava kept running until she encountered a tall figure with long and strong legs. She wasn't ready to face him until he grabbed her shoulder just as she was picking a race out of Donald's mansion.
"Ava, what's with that look? What happened? What's happening? You look strange.” The hoarse voice trailed off, Ava looked up as her eyes met him, the three-eyed monster in casual clothes. He came with his adorable daughter Dana and Lisa, his annoying and cruel wife, to pay a visit to Ava and her loved ones. The three-eyed monster clasped Ava's jaws.
"What my husband meant by you looking weird is that you're so ugly and smelly. When was the last time you took a bath?” Lisa insulted Ava. To be honest, Ava stinks like she hasn't bathed in a year. Ava smelled nice and she looked decent a few minutes ago, but after her son Derek ran out of Donald's mansion through the window, her whole life turned miserable.
Lisa rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms over her chest and watched the drama. Dana was a bit concerned, she has never seen anyone so concerned that they were shaking like a fish on the water with very red skin. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, which shed a few drops on the paths she walked.
Dana knew Ava was worried about something really serious. Ava moved her lips to try to explain the problem, but she couldn't get a word out. The tension was too great.
"Ava, don't worry, we're here for you. we can help you Let's go inside, you need to relax.” Dana whispered. Lisa nudged Dana, who was eyeing her to shut her mouth hole.
"Ava, what Dana said is correct, let's go in." The three-eyed monster concluded, clashing his statements with Dana's. Ava nods in refusal. "No!" she choked out. She wants to go after Derek, but will that help?
The three-eyed monster convinced her to go to Donald's mansion and hold her hand for support. The three-eyed monster helped her get a spot nearby.
Dana hurriedly got some water in a glass mug and offered it to Ava, while Lisa sat on a cushioned chair, happily sipping champagne as if celebrating a feast. To be honest, Lisa is so happy to see Ava in this state that she believes Ava deserves all the disasters that have happened to her. Ava grabbed the water and swallowed it all down, feeling a little calm as she took a glass of water, the three-eyed monster noticed that too.
"Go get her more water," the three-eyed monster ordered Dana while fixing his gaze on Ava's expression. Her hot-blooded body was cooling off a bit, but she was worried about Derek. What did Derek do to himself and his poor mother?
Dana was about to run to the kitchen to get more water for Ava.
"No, I don't need water. I need my son, Derek"
Ava took a deep breath before explaining everything.
"What about your other sons?" asked the three-eyed monster.
“They're all in the library, none of them knowing anything about what Derek did to me. That boy wants to kill me.” Ava said through sobs as she curled up in the padded chair, already soaked with her sweat and beads streaming down her chin.
"Hmm..." The three-eyed monster was thinking deeply about how to save Derek from the Dark Djinn's clutches, he couldn't Ava in this state until Dana snapped her pretty fingers.
"I have an idea," Dana ground out with a happy smile on her face.
"What's up, dear? Please let us know, we're in desperate need of your great ideas." The three-eyed monster encouraged Dana to let the great idea out.
Ava sniffed and blew her nose on her sleeves as she stopped sobbing.
"Since the Dark Djinn can only be alerted to murder when Ava's son comes out of his mansion. What about letting Derek in?” Dana was whispering more to Ava and the three-eyed monster. Lisa wasn't interested, she was busy munching delicious turkey drumsticks with champagne which she took from the kitchen while watching some Bollywood movies that were playing on TV.
Ava and the three-eyed looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Dana had just said. Do you understand what she is saying, my dear readers? Well, she's about to shed more light on the mysteries in our heads.
"Come on guys. We can ask Derek's doppelganger to come to this mansion and pretend to be Derek while we go in search of Derek,” Dana said.
"What do you mean by Derek's resemblance? Derek has a twin brother, but they don't look alike.” The three-eyed monster mused. Ava and the three-eyed monster then got Dana right. We all know that there is this crazy villain who can transform into any shape, appearance, color, and other properties, and that is no longer than...
"Sage!" The three mentioned at the same time, Lisa spilled the drink in her mouth when she heard that name.
"No way, we can't let that devil come back into our lives," Lisa said. Lisa was right, Sage is a very dangerous creature, she can outwit the smartest of them all. Ava knew it was a bad idea, but it was the only way to distract and fool the Dark Djinn.
But Lisa didn't let those meaningful words out just because she wanted to protect her family, but because she didn't want to see Sage flirting with her husband after years of marriage, that would be a huge slap in the face.
Ava knew the Dark Djinn was always one step ahead of them, but what can she do about it? You must at least try!
They all ignored Lisa as usual because they all knew that her senses were far off, she was mentally stable, but her careless attitude towards her family made them look at her as if she was out of her mind.
"What shall we call her now?" Dana asked.
"It's a very simple thing. Just those three magical words and her name will make her appear here in seconds.” said the three-eyed monster, remembering those three magical words that Sage always wanted to say out loud to him during her eye school days.
"You dare not!" Lisa narrowed her eyes, knowing those three magic words that can shatter her heart in a matter of seconds.
