The beginning of the end.

That face... That evil face once again was in front of me, the face that haunted me since I was just three years old.

Those dark brown eyes... Those dragon tattooed hands. He was a fine man ,well build. With a height of 6 feet 2 inches,even though he looked like a fine art of human. His aura was devilish.

Even after getting old.. The evil his eyes hold wasn't a penny less than the time he killed my mother.

In front of him my father.. Looked to small and fragile.. My father was not a well build man.. He has an average body but he is the most handsome man I have ever seen, even the age could not take his charm away.

Seeing him again.. Made all my fear come alive.. All the past incident flashed in front of my eyes. Even though my father was threatening him with all he has but I highly doubt he will ever be able to win over him... I have seen his brutality.. That's why I thought to intervene.

Cause that man is certainly powerful that's why he was only able to get away even after murdering my mom.

I already did lost my mom.. I can't afford to loose my dad.

Everyone turned around towards me, while I was standing at the entrance of the Hall.

" Ohh my god, lizeh... You can speak... Oh my holy Lord... " Dad said while rushing towards me.shedding tears well I guess happy tears.

" Yes dad I can speak.. " I replied with a gentle smile.

My brothers eyes were pooling with tears while he was standing at the one corner of the room near the table.

He too came up to me..cupped my face in his hand and kissed my forehead.

" God lizeh... You can speak... I can't believe my ears... Since when lizeh...? " He asked while shedding a little tears..

" Not since very long ..." I said before I could say anything the monster spoke.

" I never thought... That I'll get to see you so soon... But Alizeh.. Right...

You are a sight to behold.. " The fifty plus year demon spoke

My brother instantly got angry and rushed towards him. I guess to hurt him.

I mean Daniel Smith( Danny) is well build boy..with a perfect height of six feet three inches , an inch taller than him. A broad strong shoulder , a high stamina.. And a beautiful face.. Well he has to be well build. As he is the football captain of the college football team.

But I doubt he could counter a bullet with this body. So I too ran behind to stop him..

" Danny stop... Let me handle this.. " I said trying to calm him down..

" Are you out of your head.. You want to handle him... Don't you know he is here... Just to take you away, I swear lizeh, I will kill him. And what is with you now... Since when you started to act so bold and brave lizeh, just now you started speaking again.. And now all of a sudden you want to take the charge.. " Danny said.. All angry at my petulance and at that man brazen behaviour.

My dad was still looking at me in shock. Like he still can't believe that I can speak..

" Danny, please... You both have done everything to keep me safe. And today if I have the chance than please let me do it.. I already heard what he said... You both have sacrificed enough for me... Please let me do this , to at least return a little bit. " I said..

" What the hell is wrong with you lizeh? " My dad said.. Angrily walking towards where we were standing..

The monster Henry was watching our family conversation like some daily soap opera.

Before I could respond to my dad..

The devil spoke.

"Mr Smith... If your daughter is ready.. Then why do you have any problem " He said with a smirk.

"You stay out of this... You.. Scoundrel.. She doesn't know what she is talking about.. " My dad barked at him.

" I know dad what I'm talking about... " I said Sternly..

" Lizeh, stop it... You don't have to do anything... I'll pay him. Anyhow... I'll pay him his all loans soon. " My dad said.

" How.. Will you pay... Mr Smith... By selling the house which is already under my contract or by auctioning the company which is going to be bank corrupt any time soon. " The devil said.. Smirking.

I could see the loss in my dad's eyes.. As he was feeling so helpless that he can't protect us but he should know that he has done more than enough... More than any father can do..

And now it's my turn..

" Mr William Henry... May I ask you to leave us alone for the night.. Perhaps We should consider this and start the conversation tomorrow.. As I don't think it's appropriate.. To discuss this all this late at night. " I said Sternly dismissing him.

" Of course.. Alizeh... I can wait a little more, what's a night when I waited this long.. " Saying so he walked out..

As soon as he left.. My dad and my brother.. Made me sit on the couch and they took a seat right in front of me.

" Lizeh, what's going on with you honey... Since when did you start speaking again.? " My dad asked curiosity palpable in his voice.

Well, I expected him to talk about what I did just now.

But he just wants to know.. About my inability which is not anymore with me.

Well I don't know how to tell him this.. I can't tell him the truth.. That out of shock I spoke..

I can't tell him, that when in the morning I saw this man's arms made me remember everything and when I read the papers that my father only left at the side table beside my bed.

I spoke... Out of fear, out of shock.. Even the psychiatrist who was treating me did Said once that may be I can start speaking if I get to live the incident again but the chances of my survival than are the least.. So no one even thought about that .

I read whole paper in my mind as I usually do... But after this long the first word I spoke.. Was his name... The shock to see that man.. And his name damn was the one that made me speak..

Every night my mother came into my dreams.. Saying that one day I'll have to take the revenge of all the wrong that man did.

Those were the only night I could sleep peacefully when I saw my mother in my dreams.

My nightmares were not very frequent since the last two years, but today out of no where I got them back with the same intensity. Made me aware of some unknown danger... And now I know what it is..

I want to tell my father the truth... The truth that the murderer of his beloved wife was standing right in front of him just a moment ago..but seeing it the other way... It's not the best thing to do..

That devil is certainly very powerful..

It's no way in the hell possible for him.. To walk out so easily after killing someone one.. If he wasn't a powerful man. If I dared to speak the truth than may be I'll endanger the life of the most and the only important persons of my life.

I remember dad used to talk to his lawyer in Scotland even after we moved here in Canada , to find out about the progress in the case. But all he got was disappointment.. And as far as I'm concerned. Scotland police are the most intelligent and powerful one. If he can trick the law.. Than who are we.

Him walking back to our life... Owning such a huge empire is the proof that he isn't any common criminal... He has a got a giant power and a sharp mind.

Even no one till now has been able to figure out the reason of the murder.

He isn't a person to be messed up on straight front.. One could only win over him with a trap and trick and crook.

My brother and father think that I'm fragile and delicate but I'm not... Yes I do have weakness but I have my own strength.. That I got from their love and support and now no matter what I'll protect them with my life.

" Lizeh, dad asked you something.. " Danny said irritated.. Bringing me out of my thoughts.

" Yeah, dad... Actually I was trying since so long... I guess finally the medicine worked.. " I said stuttering a bit.. It's one of the thing I do when I lie.. I had developed this from the time I started speaking as a child.. But now it was in the past.. They had already forgotten it all.

"That's good lizeh, but since when did you know you could speak. ? " Dad asked...One more question

" Dad.. I don't know.. Since when.. But when I heard you being this helpless some how I got the power to speak again. " I said again stuttering cause I still was lying ,well.....partially lying.

" Ohh my god lizeh, you don't know I was just living to hear your melodious voice... Lizeh, you know how much I loved your voice.. "Dad said.. Crying.

" Ohh daddy" Saying so I walked up to him sat on the same couch on which he was sitting and engulfed him in a hug.

My brother came and we three embraced each other.

" Hey, lizeh, I hope you will not call me Dan dana dan Danny again.. Cause now I'm not that kid... " My brother said.. And we all laughed..

But this is not the time to laugh... A new disaster was awaiting for us.

I tried to talk to my dad again.. But he dismissed me.. Saying that nothing will change his mind and he will definitely collect money from somewhere and will pay the loan..

But little does he knows that. The man never wanted the money his target was always me..

And he did planned it so finely..

" Lizeh, after long fifteen years I got you back.. My lovely chirping lizeh is back.. I want to enjoy her company as much as I could.. Please allow your old man.. To have this little pleasure.. " He kissed me a good night and we all went to sleep.

I still will try to convince him.. Cause there's no other way..

I need to know his moto.. Behind these all planning.. A long fifteen years of planning to show up again..the reason ...why did he killed my mother. ?

Soon in the morning when I woke up.. I could hear noises coming from the downstairs.. As if someone was throwing heavy things out on the road..

" Stop... Please someone stop them.. " I heard my dad. Pleading..

What the hell is happening....
