Chapter 6 6

"Who told your mum not to feed you enough milk? You probably were some crying skeleton at infancy. Just imagine it guys. A tender child of 6 months with a big head nine months pregnancy and tiny legs." said Pokemon. Red wolf gritted his teeth and clenched fists.

"You have...gone too far! " said Redwolf

"That's enough guys," said Satanic who was trying to separate the two from fighting.

"Let's hope she'll do as we said," said Asher as he rubbed his nose.

"Don't push her too far," said Satanic

"So what if I do?" Pokemon raised an eyebrow.

"You... *exhales* ...It is all your mama's fault for not feeding you well and making you carry loads thrice your size at age two at the market. Also, I heard that while god was giving people desired heights, you were somewhere else passing out human waste,'' said Satanic.

'"You" Pokemon pointed at him without doing anything.

"Sorry. It's an accident." Satanic said as he passed the magical portal to the 'restaurant' and then looked back at them.

"Tsk, tsk" he shook his head and walked towards the exit of the restaurant.

"Boss! Don't die" Asher said suddenly.

"Who's going to die?" said Pokemon

"He wasn't talking to you" Satanic vanished fro where he was and reappeared close to them at the VIP room of the restaurant. He walked towards the 'corpse' (Dave) and kicked his butt hard.

"Ow! That hurts!" Dave was never dead all along. It was an illusion.

"Satanic did you have to do it so hard? I feel so numb already," Dave complained

"Stop speaking like I'm a cut sleeve," said Satanic.

"You are not a cut sleeve but a ragged sleeve," said Dave as he struggled to stand up straight.

"You..." Satanic had nothing to say in reply.

"Eish! Time out. Dave, you can't go home now. You're dead remember?" Pokemon reminded.

"I know boss. I just really pity my big sister. She's crying for nothing. I can't believe this. Thankfully, she's a strong lady and won't tell my Grandma" said Dave with a sigh.

"Good acting," commended Asher.

"Whatever! Let's leave. I'll go first," said Pokemon as he sank into the floor without creating a hole.

If one looks closely at the 'restaurant', he could see a kind of barrier and faint mist. This was never the Ice Fever restaurant but a building used to detach members from their folks.

These people, however, are not to be trifled with. All of them have superpowers and animal spirits or representatives except Dave who is yet to find out who he is. Dave is Brianna's nephew as Grandma had claimed but in truth, he is Brianna's little brother.

Meanwhile...

Brianna slowly walked on the pedestrian pathway. Silent and hot tears flowed down her face.

She felt dizzy

"Why me? Why? I didn't do anything wrong. What superpowers? We're just poor folks struggling to survive." she muttered.

She stopped at the crossroads and held on to a pole. Tears flowed more profusely. Passersby did nothing but show pity as they passed.

Suddenly, she saw everything had gone blank.

"Huh? What's going on?" she held the pole tighter in fear.

"Some...someone please help...help" she whispered, her hands and legs were shaking. She soon collapsed to the ground with blood flowing from her mouth. Passersby immediately surrounded her and thought of how to send her to the hospital.
