BLACK GHOUL
Chapter 216: Black Consciousness

Chapter 216: Black Consciousness

Liam O’Brien body stiffened at the little voice. When was the last time he had heard a voice? He couldn’t remember so the situation only stunned him more.

We’re his ears playing tricks on him?

He would have thought so but the feeling of a presence behind him was unmistakable.

Slowly he turned, his eyes averting to the girl that called him dad, he turned fully to the strange presence, his chocolate brown eyes lands on hers, same as his, the curiosity and confusion overwhelmed him.

She looked familiar.

"Jenna?" He said faintly with puzzled eyes, why was Jenna here? After all these years.

He tilted his head to the side observing her fully, she looked just like Jenna, must be her but there was this different nature to her that got him curious, maybe it was Omari in disguise or worse.

His expression changed in less than a second. It could be Omari, trying to play some mindful games with him, it was in his nature so it could be.

"Who are you?" He asked in a slow deadly tone ready to unleash wrath, how dare him use his sisters face? He needed to knock some sense into him and show him that beast can’t mess with him and go scot-free.

But the response Liam got in return wasn’t what he expected... because she dashed towards him and embraced him in a tight hug, catching him completely off guard as she locked her arms around his waist not wanting to let go.

This feeling... he couldn’t explain it, it gripped him so hard he almost staggered.

Liam’s eyes trembled, his lips coming apart but no words could be formed. His hands twitched by at sides for something but he didn’t know what.

Maybe to hold or something but he was still skeptical about this being Omari in human form.

"I missed you so much dad," she said between cries and sobs, hugging him more tightly, refusing to let go of this piece of him.

What the fuck? Dad?! Liam’s eyes went wide. This was the second time he heard that word from her so it can’t be a coincidence.

Liam placed his hands on her shoulder and gently push her apart to get a better look at the crying girl.

Her cheeks wet with tears, he then assess her features more, those looks, those features were like Jenna’s but surprising enough he could see Riley, even though she didn’t have her green eyes, those features were there, the same pale skin, the lips.

Still in shock he went on one knee in front of her, not taking his eyes off her for a second.

"You’re my daughter?" He asked with shaky eyes, still finding it hard to believe. This has to be some trick but the more he immersed himself in her features he became a believer.

She nods profusely as her eyes went teary again on the verge of crying but she summoned enough courage to speak.

"Eden Jenna O’Brien."

Liam gasped, he couldn’t believe it, she was so perfect, a precious gem he never thought he had, he thought Riley would be the only woman that would ever capture his heart, but right here right now all that went out the window.

Having this little girl here before him felt like a dream come true.

"You’re wonderful" he said softly as a tear fell from one of his eye only.

A loving smile pressed against her lips as her heart flutter at his words, she thought Ethan was the one who always made her feel she was on top of the world, but she was wrong.

She embraced her dad once again, wrapping her arms around his neck as she cried her heart open. She had always played the scene of seeing her dad one day, not on the bed not with eyes closed but awake and well. This was a dream come true.

This time Liam embraced her back too, sending a long kiss on the side of her head, loving the feel of her curly soft hair, the nature of hair she surely took from his demise sister, Jenna.

He couldn’t express how he felt right now, he knew Riley was pregnant the last time they saw but he never thought 13 years has passed ever since, she looked 13 just by the look. He couldn’t believe it, so long has passed, he’s been dead for 13 years, that thought overwhelmed him.

But hold on... yes he knew he was no longer among the living, what was his daughter doing here?

He pulled away.

"Eden, what are you doing here?" He demands in a serious tone, he needed to know why his daughter was here.

"I’m in a coma, I was hurt by some ghoul, everything was blank right after and then I saw myself here" she said still puzzled.

"A coma?" Liam said pissed, he was practically growling. Who dared hurt her?

Eden froze at the sound, not that she was scared, she just only thought Ethan could make such sound, not knowing her dad’s own was way more animalistic than Ethan’s.

"Sweetheart you can’t be here, I’m dead and now you’re here too, which could only mean you’re too"

She blinks at his words, confusion morphed on her features.

"No dad, you aren’t dead, you’re in a coma just like me too" she explained.

Liam froze at her words.

"Dad, you’re alive you survived doomsday but you’re in a very critical condition, uncle Sean has been trying to revive you for the past 13 years, your body is heavily damaged".

He gulps at her words slowly rising to his feet, in deep thoughts. He turned to the Clover tree as his eyes narrowed.

"Dad?" Eden said worried.

Liam was in deep thought, then his eyes went wide in realization, how foolish of him, how could he have forgotten such an important fact, the day he died or was dying rather, Omari’s words to him.

13 years Ago

Doomsday

Liam fell to the ground, back to his human form, his body covered in blood, it flowed to the ground around him like blanket.

Apophis snake form against the ground, torn in two as it decayed, turning into bones and dead skin.

Vincent on the ground dead, his skin dried out in a mummy form, his mouth wide open like a hollow.

Liam weak eyes stares at the dark cloud, he was dying, he felt it and knew it was only a matter of time, his body slowly cracks. It felt like he would witter away and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

That moment the skies clears as the bright blue skies came forth and the sun, he watches the scene with shaky eyes as tears slide at the corner of his eyes.

’Is this what it feels like to die’ he thought. But he wasn’t at peace, knowing he would leave the love of his life alone.

’You have done well child’ Omari weak voice sounds in his head.

’It’s time to rest’, it fades.

Liam eyes slowly close, ’Riley’ That was his last thought as darkness almost consumed him, tears sliding at the corner of his eyes.

’Liam’ Omari said.

Liam was far too gone into the darkness to hear him already surrendering to death.

In Liam’s consciousness Omari had a sad expression, watching his descendants witter away against his will. He couldn’t feel the pain in Liam’s chest and it mirror his own.

’I will not let you die in vain’ he promised. ’Go to sleep, for when the time comes up shall rise from the ashes’

***

Present Day

Liam’s eyes shakes at the memory. It explained why he had been here, why he had been alone all this time... waiting.

"Omari" he said turning back to his puzzled daughter.

"He..." he couldn’t explain it, he didnt understand it completely.

"He did something but I don’t know what" he said in confusion, all these years he thought he was dead not knowing he was in a coma recovering from severe damage in his body. Ghost, his backbone was gone, then how, how did he survive such a thing.

"Dad"

His attention finally drift to her, all that went out the window.

"Who did this to you Eden, tell me" Liam said in a deadly tone really to rain wrath on whoever laid a finger on her.

"Two strange ghouls, they attacked both of us, I don’t know I have this feeling that Ethan might be in danger, those ghouls it’s like they wanted him or-"

"Who?" Liam said puzzled. "Who is Ethan?"

Oh she forgot. Eden smiled as she raised two fingers clipping them together in action.

Liam froze as the realization struck him hard. No way...

"Yes daddy... I’m a twin" she said sweetly.

A smile curled up the corner of his lips, he scoffs in amazement.
