The shadow of the night is scary mom (5)

At the end, I received a second punched, but this time, not from Billy but from Scott, he was really angry, both of them were angry, and did not speak to me for a while, it was already afternoon and Mom would be back soon. Scott regain his composure and spoke.

"What are we going to do now, since you attracted that thing here?....wait why are we calling it thing?, it does not have a name?"

With that, I and Billy looked at Robert who was staring at us.

"I have forgotten his names and the events of my past, the only thing I remember is that, I had a brother and he was the one who locked him in the box"

"So!, we are left with no clues, on what or who that thing is, but we all know that the moment he would set foot here, we are all death!, great!, all great Mr Brian Winchester, you did great!!"

"We have this, if it can help us!, no I am sure this book can help us!"

I showed them the book I had picked along with the box, the book was black, very black and creepy, we opened the book and saw a name inside, 'CATZ' was written in a funny way, as if the person who wrote had large hands and it was difficult for him to hold the small pen. We flipped the pages and discovered that it was only a register and names were written inside it, non of those names were familiar to us, it was only when we arrived the last page were we saw a familiar name did Scott react.

"Stop!, What is the meaning of this!?"

I and Billy looked at him confused and turn to look closely at what he was pointing.

"Why is this name familiar!"(said Billy looking at Scott, and avoided me, apparently he is still angry).

"What!?, did you notice anything strange?"( I asked Scott, and he answered facing Billy, they are still angry with me).

"They last name in the book, 'Johnathan', that's the name carried by Mr Benjamin and Mrs Princesse baby, two couples who were supposed to help us today in organizing the church service for tomorrow, but never showed up today, My Dad called them, but nobody responded"

Mr Robert stood up hearing us speaking about the disappearance of the family and came closer to us, he was seated on a comfortable chair, due to his back problems, he could not be up at every moment, old age was punishment.

"They family most be death, while the child was erased"

Putting his own book on the table, he started flipping on the pages, looking for something. We could see strange drawings and bizarre hand writings in the pages he flipped, and with that, he opened the same page, he showed me this morning.

From there, we read the following information on the page.

/"Bastet was the goddess of cats in the old Egyptian Era, she was one of the children of RA, the God of Egypt and was kind and lovely person, even do she assisted the king of Egypt in numerous battle, she was seen as the most generous god, but not all good things give birth to good things. Bastet had a cat she named CATZ, CATZ was cute and lovely and everybody loved it, but when catz became hungry, people in the city of Egypt started disappearing without living any trace. Bastet realized it when she discovered that catz growth was abnormal, and investigated the case. For punishment catz was locked in a cat box never to come out. But Bastet feared man and his greed for treasure and money, so she placed a curse on the cat box, that only a child not more than 15th could open the box, and asked her servants to carry the box and bury it far away from Egypt, and warn the servants, not to record this in their books, but at the end was not respected. The servants feared, one day, catz may be free again and he would rampage every were slaughtering people, so, WE WROTE THIS FOR THOSE WHO ARE FACED WITH CATZ, IN OTHER TO WIN CAT, FIGHT HIM WITH THE CAT TREE, THE CAT TREE IS HIS FATAL WEAPON."/

Turning and looking at Robert, we all carried questionable looks, on where did he get this book and while is the book asking us to fight a devil with a cat tree?

"Don't look at me like that, the were about of were the book is coming from was erased with the other memories of my past, I cannot help you, in other to not forget catz, I wrote his name every morning I woke up from bed"

"Billy any suggestions?" (having hope that he would look at me this time😟)

"Who are you asking that question to?, oh!?, why not go, ask your so called friend catz about what he is going to do?, maybe he would take someone else mother as evening lunch, Tss"(😡😐)

"Haaaa (😧😧), calm down Billy, what about, we inform the adults and see what to do next, is that okay Brian?"

"It's evening already, let's go back home and check on Billy's sisters, Scott your staying at home right?"

"Yes, my dad would be busy with the church members and my mom would be occupied with the preparation too, so the said I could sleep here"

"Good"

We headed all to my place, leaving old Robert, he told us, he would try and collect more info about catz and call us tomorrow. Arriving the entrance to my house, Mikes bike was packed outside, we were speechless, Mike was to come back only tomorrow why was he back so early, why questioning ourselves, Billy's sister, Angela saw us at the entrance through the door window, she open and ran towards Billy holding his hand.

"Mike is in pains Billy"

We three all responded at the same time.

"WHAT!?"

We ran inside the house, only to see Mike on the sofa gasping for air, he was exhausted, dirty and covered with brushes and wounds everywhere in his body. I was the first to speak why Billy ran to the cupboard and took out the first aid box, he new were they thing was since he usually and often stayed at my place on holidays. Scott ran to the rest room and carried a bucket of water, why me I was inspecting his wounds.

After an hour of cleaning, healing and covering of his wounds, did Mike stopped shivering in pains and in fear.

we looked at him and then looked at each other. did he encounter CATZ on the way or what, what happened to Mike, and as a sign to answer are question, Mike opened his eyes and looked at us.

"Mike stay cool and don't panic, you are at my place"

"Shut up Brian!, I Know that,....Billy were is your mom?, I was in the police department but it was closed"

Billy was carried away by his question and looked somewhere else, so Scott tried to answer the question and me seeing the girls focusing on what we were doing, I tried to take them away but Mike broke the silence himself.

"I see!, so even your mom was also a victim"

I and Billy turned our head and looked at Mike, Scott was speechless and the girls were confused.

"Huh!?"

"Mike, what do you mean by also a victim!?

"Mike what happen to your parents!?"

I was the one who asked the most pertinent question, where are his parents?, while was he alone and wounded?, Mike looked at me and with that, tears came out from his eyes.

"That thing got them"
