Daven: His lost memories

Chapter 12: The abandoned church

" Ouch why did you pinched me and rudely interrupted me." caressing the spot where Tara pinched.

" Because you don't know how to use Euphemisms."

" Ufo... what? " Frita was confused. " What's that? "

Tara takes a breathe in before rolling her eyes at her stupid annoying friend. " You were taught in primary. If you don't know, then it's not my fault that you didn't pay attention."

" Oh come on Tara! what does that word mean? " Frita was eager to know the meaning of this new word she just heard.

" What word? "

" The one you just told me."

Tara wanted to tease her so she played dumb. " Which one? Tell me? "

" Euf... Eufomimi... agh whatever! "Frita struggled to pronounce it but said it anyway not knowing that Tara just wanted to make fun of her.

" Hahaha!! " Tara bursts into tears after laughing so hard.

Frita pouts her lips and folds her arms angrily. " Don't ever talk to me again." she walks away from her

Seeing her walking away, Tara runs to catch up with her.

...

" Nice to see the two of you here again. Take a seat."

Brittney and Daven sat down with different thoughts.

"Thank you doctor. "

Doctor Johnson looked over at Daven and asked, "How have you been feeling lately?"

"Better than before." his eyes displayed no emotions when he said this making it hard for anyone to guess his current emotions

" Great to hear that.."

*Ring*

Brittney looked at the caller ID and got startled when seeing the name." Excuse me"

After they were left alone, Doctor Johnson stared at Daven curiously.

" What? "

"Nothing. I'm just wondering about you and Brittney..." she paused for a second then asked, "how are things going so far?"

Hearing the question, he frowned and looked away. "You are a doctor not a marriage counselor."

Doctor Johnson just smiled calmly." Alright then, back to the topic. Anything unusual you've been experiencing?"

"No. I'm alright doctor." thinking of something, he added. " I guess doctor misses me that much. I mean it's only have been few days after I left the hospital, now you arranged an appointment for my check up so soon? I wonder what is doctor trying to do." He made a knowing smile at the end.

Doctor Johnson rolled her eyes don't worry, you're too young for me. I just want to prescribe you that's all."

Daven thought he just heard a joke when she said that she's older than him. This doctor looked even younger than Brittney. "I don't mind a granny by my side. His mouth curved into a playful smile.

Hearing him calling her as 'granny, Doctor Johnson snapped at him " Hey! Who are you calling granny? You lucky to have a beautiful woman like Brittney. Otherwise who would accept you you old man."

Daven laughed as he found it funny How is it possible for women when they get angry but still get to look this cute?

Seeing him laugh, she sat back to her seat and rubbed her temples. " You know what, let's just get over with this You already starting to give me a headache."

Daven thought that he must also try to make Brittney angry to see how she would also look. Just as he was thinking of how, she suddenly comes in.

" Sorry. It was urgent. "

...

After having lunch with her two besties, whom Daven found one of them irritating as she kept asking him questions.

Before taking a cab, Daven suggested that they should take a little walk as he explore this city better. When walking past an old, abandoned church, Daven gets a feeling telling him to go inside.

He suddenly stops and looked towards the entress Seeing him stop, Brittney got puzzled and looked at the direction he was looking at.

" Used to be the biggest church in this country, but after the sudden increase of crime it was abandoned as one day many people were shot and killed inside after a shooting between two teams occurred outside the church and one team ran inside for a cover. After that incident, people stopped coming when rumored that it was cursed."

Daven went silent in deep thoughts Why does the incident sounds familiar? Digging in his memories, his eyes suddenly went wide in shock." That bastard."That bastard." He softly muttered under his breath clenching his fits.

"What did the police say about it?"

Brittney went silent before responding " They only thought it was an accident and didn't really think that someone was behind it and did it intentionally."

Daven slowly walks forward. " Where are you going?" Her voice was a little shaky.

"Inside"

Brittney rushed to stop him. "Have you lost your mind? No one has ever stepped inside for a decade and is suspected to be haunted."

Daven ignored her and continued to walk forward. When he pushed the door open and enters, Brittney sulked and followed him. As she enters, suddenly someone pulls her behind a row of long chairs.

"Shh." A deep voice said.

When seeing who it was, Brittney heaved a long sigh of relief after her heart almost exploded. Before she could speak, voices were heard along with footsteps. One thing she could think of was.

"Ghosts!"she panicked and screamed in a low voice .

"Stupid, ghosts don't have legs." Daven could feel an incoming headache. Where did this woman forget her common sense?

Just as Brittney was going to say something, a man's voice echoed inside. " See you next week."

Then another voice was heard." Same time, same place?"

" Yeah, this place seems to be safe."

Footsteps were heard walking past them. Brittney who was sitting uncomfortable tightly closed her eyes shut afraid of making any sound.

"Let's go home."

Although Brittney wanted to find out about what those unknown men were doing in this abandoned church, she still got up and left with Daven.

"Why we leaving so soon?"

"I thought you said there were ghosts in there." Actually, Daven left for his own reason.

"What do you think that was about" Her serious tone made Daven look at her to see wether that serious tone came from her. Seeing her serious face, he got the argue to tease her but held himself back.

" I don't know. And I also don't think that it's something good either."

"Could it be related to crime?" the more she thinks about it, the more she finds it suspicious.

" Well I don't know officer Brit."

Brittney rolled her eyes and crossed her arm. "It's officer Hadley."

"Whatever."
