Dawn Of Twilight

Chapter 74 - Hidden figures

During his bad days, when Christy or Bell was absent Tobi would always hide or cry anytime John decided to change his diapers he had always put his crotch first in his life. Knowing fully well how terrible he was at doing diaper work, and how he had almost yanked off his 'Precious Wi-Fi(crotch).'

Even having the thought of him changing his diapers, gives him nightmares. It was much worse than him ravaging his meal.

Among all the misfortunes of his life, he had never allowed any of them to come close to his 'Precious Wi-Fi'. He had always been careful when it comes to that part, not even allowing himself to be hurt there even in a fight...

So how could he let a ba*tard, come too close to his precious treasure?

Even though Tobi had reduced his food intake he was still starving, this was something that he had once experienced in his past life.

He had starved multiple times due to no money to buy food, or the food isn't enough for everyone. Even allowing himself to be picky about food was a 'Sin.'

But it seems history repeated itself, in the good days, when the portions were fed by Christy, it was like a festive period. During the bad days, he would eat every meal until the last drop, and if his body had allowed him to. He would not hesitate to lick the plate clean and dry.

Often, most times either he had lost himself in his comprehension, or John almost ate half of his ration. He would be so angry that he would feel his stomach ache from hunger and anger.

And of course, he was not the only one hungry in the family. Aside from his mother Christy, only his big sisters Bell and Bella were occasionally tasked to feed him.

Though Bell and Bella had big hearts and strived to be like their mother. John would always put out his frustration on his food,  He would eat half after wiping his mouth clean, and leave the rest for Tobi to eat.

Bella, the younger sister whose health was worsened by the day, would be taunted by John calling her useless sicko. He would often wonder about her health and thought of ways to help worsen it.

Now she could hardly walk, not to talk of proper feeding. Leading to their parent always pay extra attention to her.

Once she had felt nauseous during dinner and puke out her food, sending the house in panicked. His parents would comfort her saying it was just a matter of time before the healing fairy takes her illness away.

They felt worried and depressed, whenever they saw Bella like that. They could not understand why her condition was not improving, and if not for the recent cold season she would have already been taken to her usual treatment.

It was harmattan, so there was usually not much work to do. Hence there wasn't an occasion to restock their food supplies, and they had to last until the rainy season.

It was the toughest time of the year for all of them, since they could hardly make any sales, and the food was meant not only for them but partly shared for their livestock.

Recently, Bell would always come back home with a frown and complains. To the point, he would hear his mother sobbing.

As soon as his mother or big sister return, he would try to cheer them up. By doing his best baby impression by making raspberry screeched, while sometimes he would giggle with little mouth willy on his face, they would smile and play with him before returning to their daily routine.

Tobi had never cried unless he needed to be fed or when John tried changing his diaper. But he felt really bad almost to the point of crying, knowing fully well that he could do nothing, but watch them suffer silently, it made him feel useless.

That day both his parents and Bell were out. Few of their livestock seemed to be suffering from parasitic pests. Leaving Bella the younger sister, Tobi, and John at home to look over them.

Just outside their house, beside the door. Tobi heard a knock, with his parent and sibling's arrival in mind, he looked towards the door in anticipation. 

With John appearing at the door pose, he would always make a few taunting faces, before opening the door.

The door was slowly being opened, as two black garment hooded figures walked in. One of the hooded figures took the opportunity to whisper to the other" No parents or Bell at home."

Who were these people? And what were they looking for?

John's first impression was his father and his witch mother and her child Bell. But the people he saw made him unable to react at all. 

They looked taller than him, at least by twenty to thirty inches. Their hooded cloak figures were like tower trees to him.

He stood there dazed for a moment, before loosening his grip at the door handle sluggishly. 

His mind had a weird feeling but his body stood there petrified as it refuses to move, his legs kept shivering as he could only stare at them in fright. Streams of water fountain slowly made their way into his short pants.

Tobi had already started to cry, due to the fact he was hungry than usual today, but still, he could not understand what was taking his parents so long to get inside. 

But at this moment, he heard an odd voice beside John, it sounded strange and foreign to him. He didn't know what John was discussing with a group of strangers.

Already the day, was spell bad for him, and the only thing that could ease his anxiety was Christy.

With this strange visitor appearing, instead of his parents and sibling. Tobi felt like he was going crazy as he cried desperately.

Everyone was out, and his second elder sister Bella was asleep inside her room. Except for his devilish older brother.

Tobi was yet to anticipate what was going on outside, as he felt impatient for his parents and sibling to come quickly.

Suddenly, at this moment a muffled voice resonated as it cut his baby cry midway.

"Where is the Demon child?"

He could only see John shivering figure lightly but took it as him taunting him again.

But he felt something amiss, the moment John lifted his right arm and pointed his index finger at him.

"Are you sure, the demon child is inside?" With Tobi now able to understand most of this world vocabulary, he was immediately able to translate the clear voice at the door.

Finally, he could see two hooded cloaked figures walking out from the door. An eerie silence befell the room, as they seemed quite scary with a ghostly movement.

"Cry all you want *demon child*." Tobi was now sure they had come for him but was confused at their accusations, what had he done? Had they found out he was a baby man?

"Today, we are going to get rid of you from this world. No one is here to come to your rescue."After saying that, they brought out a black sack bag.

Tobi felt like his world was crumbling, once again he was helpless. He was all alone, nobody would know how he had died or who had killed him. What could he possibly do? It was like back then on earth when he was stabbed and shot multiple times.

Back then he could do nothing, but watch himself being killed. For no reason at all, was it a crime to be born normal? Was it a crime to be weak was it? Aside from blowing his cover what could he possibly do?

Tobi felt rage within him, his anger was like a locust eating him, making him snap into a rage and beyond what he would ever think possible.

'You all acting tough taunting a child right?'He could feel they had a smug smile behind their hood as they walked towards him. A good half a step away from him.

Tobi's angered was on the verge of reaching a new peak, like a damn overflowing.

'I hate you damn ba*tard You all nothing but filthy animals! I hope you die a cruel death.'

He was already prepared to die, knowing full well there was no hope, he wanted to let out all his hidden emotion. His anger grew, as well as his emotion to vent all his frustration.

At that moment, he felt something swell up within his lungs radiating power out of his body, gripping both his fists, that when a sound was heard. A scream so loud the hooded figures, felt their eardrums tingle and then numb.

With both the frightened John and the hooded figure being terrified at the same time. The scream had brought a sudden turn of situation, its momentum prickled their ears, its sudden outburst made them seem like a frozen statue at their step.

Meanwhile, the rather loud burst of power, made John momentarily lose his consciousness.

The hooded figures, felt inexplicably horrified as their bodies tremble in horror, their minds and pounding heart's strung high with fear to move in their adversity.. It made them momentarily lose all their inner strength as they both fell uncontrollably, heavily slamming their buŧŧ onto the wooden floor in the process creating a 'thud' sound against the floor.
