Jack and Jade, a simple couple who have been together for years, their love for each other is filled with respect, faithfulness, passion, and tons of emotions. 

Jade used to come from work using the taxi because she was scared to drive and Jack’s work was a bit far from her workplace, so waiting for him leave wait for him alone and since used to get scared easily, she chose to use taxis which made her arrive home early enough to start with the cooking. 

One day Jack arrived home and didn’t find Jade, he looked everywhere but she wasn’t there, he tried calling her cell phone many times, but she wasn’t answering and eventually was switched off.  He got so worried about her and called her family and friends if they have heard from her, but everyone denied knowing anything about her. He was left with no choice but to go to the police station and complaint, but the police said they can’t do anything before 24 hours and asked him to wait. 

Jack was desperate and couldn’t wait, so he went to her workplace and asked the security guard who assured him that she left with a taxi, then he tried to look for her by going and begging the police to help him, but they refused. He was left with no options, and no one was willing to help him, so he went hope and cried all night. 

In the morning Jack received a call, it was the police who requested him to arrive at a specific location, Jack got scared and kept asking questions like ‘Why what happened?’ ‘Did you find something’.

The police officer who called him got upset and said ‘listen man, just come to the location, I don’t have time for your questions, we have found a woman’s dead body that matched the description you gave yesterday, so just some’.

Jack started yelling asking ‘WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FOUND A DEAD BODY?’. 

The police man yelled back ‘LISTEN JACK, I KNOW YOU ARE UPSET BUT I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW’ SO ARE YOU COMING OR WE REGISTER THE BODY AS ANONYMOUS?’ 

Jack knew he had to calm himself, so he quickly changed and left to the location. Jack arrived at an area and saw many people were gathered, he was able to spot the officer he saw the day before who was the same one who called him, and went straight to him, the officer did apologized for his behavior over the phone and said ‘sorry man, in my career I have seen much worst, and I wanted you to get here.’

Jack asked ‘what,,, what do you mean you have seen worst?”

The officer replied ‘never mind, just be strong, and come with me”.

At this point, Jack started tearing up, and his heart was beating so fast he thought it was about to stop and felt as if he was about to vomit. 

The policeman took him where the body was, and looked at and asked ‘will uncover her when you are ready’.

Jack was barely holding up, wiped his tears and replied ‘am ready’

The officer asked his team to uncover the body and what happed next was heartbreaking. 

It was Jade’s body, Jack recognized her despite the horrible scene, she was covered in blood, her eyes were plucked, her stomach was cut open and it was obvious that her heart and other internal organs were missing. Jack started screaming and crying very loud that some police men had to hold him, till they forced him to get inside one of the police cars.  

In few hours their family and friends arrived at the hospital in total shock screaming and shouting at the police men ‘WHO WOULD DO SUCH AWFUL THING TO A GOOD PERSON LIKE HER’.

Jack went and asked the police if they know who did this to her, but they were not sure and said ‘since her organs are missing, maybe they are organ dealers who will sell them in the black market, unfortunately this issue has been gone for months, and we were not able to catch them sorry for what happened for you wife’.

During the funeral, Jack was seen calm, quiet and not talking with anyone. He even refused to have his mother to come and stay with him and said ‘please respect my feelings, I would like to stay alone’.

The whole night he spent crying in agony while hugging her photos, and when it was morning, he went to the beach and stayed for hours, then he went back home, and repeated everything every day without going back to work, and without talking to anyone, till one day when he was at the beach he heard some friends talking and one of them said ‘trust me, if I had the power, I would find them and killed them’.

He understood that those friends were talking about their daily life drama that they face and how they like to exaggerate their emotions and reactions. But then something happened to him, he thought of something, and he left his place at once and went to his place to change and got his belongings and left again. 

Jack was searching for someone, he kept visiting many places life magic shows, fortune tellers, isolated placed, but he couldn’t find anything. Then he returned and searched the web under many subjects and kept reading a lot till he found something that made him wait till around 3am, and left his house again, but this time he went and searched in strange place like abandoned areas that no one lived in for months and started praying till the sun came out, then he returned home.

The following night he repeated the same thing but this time he went to the beach and prayed until the sun came out, and the night after that he went to the woods and repeated his prayers. He kept repeating this routine for days until something happened. 

One night when he woke up around 3am, his heart almost stopped, he was so scared that he couldn’t beath to see that someone was standing in front of him. That someone was very tall and very thin, his eyes were very large and wide, his teeth were very sharp and long, his hands and fingers were long and sharp, and his feet were goat feet.

Jack wanted to scream but he could do that that person who was standing in front of him said ‘you prayed for me for days, and now you are afraid of me’.

Jack replied ‘you are SATAN?’.

Satan said ‘what is it that you want’.

Jack said while he was sobbing ‘make me very powerful to hunt and kill everyone who killed my wife’.

Satan ‘you want to revenge?’

Jack ‘I want to kill everyone and their entire bloodline, and for that I to be strong, powerful, and live enough to kill them all’.

Satan ‘and what happens once you kill every single bloodline?’

Jack ‘I can finally be with my wife when I die’ ‘but how I am going to find them?’

Satan ‘you have prayed with my name, granting you power, strengths and other abilities is at my snap.’ 

‘You will see me again when its time’ ‘until then, you will the power no one thought of.’

‘You will have assistance from children.’

‘You will be undefeatable.’

‘undestroyable’

‘You will live long enough to kill every single bloodline that killed Jade’.

‘And when the last blood is dropped, you will find me sanding.’

‘Remember one thing, you can’t change your mind, or else, my children will eat you and your entire bloodline’.

In seconds Satan’s children emerged into Jack and while he was screaming because of the pain it caused him till he fainted. 

In the morning when he woke up he felt different, he was dehydrated and started drinking a lot of water, and felt wired about his body, he was breathing heavily, and feeling dizzy and he fainted again. 

he woke up again, but this time he wasn’t feeling dizzy or lost, this time was wide awake, ready, and knew what he needed to do because Satan’s children were inside him, possessing him, guiding him.

He got ready and left his house and walked for hours till he reached a place, he was like a predator who knew where to find everyone. He went and waited in a place for something till a taxi driver came and asked if needed a ride, Jack agreed got in. while driving, the taxi driver asked Jack if he was doing some workouts because he looked fit and healthy and asked if he had any health issue. Jack replied that he never suffered from any health issues and that he was always a person that took care about his body and what he wats. The driver then said ‘sorry sir, I have to stop by a place for something urgent if you don’t mind it will only take a minute’.

Jack agreed and said that it should be fine. 

The taxi driver took jack to a hidden place that looked very suspicions, and that point, any passenger would start pancaking and ask the driver to turn the car back to leave, but Jack remained silent and calm. 

The driver said ‘sorry sir, this place looks scary.’

Jack ‘I never complained.’

The driver stopped his car and said ‘I will be right back.’

Jack ‘make sure they are more than 10.’

The driver ‘sorry?’

Jack lifted his face up and looked at the driver, and the driver got scared and shouting ‘HE IS A DEMON, HE IS A DEMON’. While leaving the car and running inside.

After a short while, the driver came back with some men who laughed at him saying ‘yaa now we are going to steal demon organs now, where is he’.

They went ahead and opened the taxi door to find that it was empty, Jack wasn’t inside, he was behind them holding the driver’s head telling them with his eyes turned red and bleeding ’if you want to redeem yourselves, it’s too late’.

They got scared and wanted to run but he was way faster than them, and started brutally murdering them as if he was a wild animal. 

The next day, the police received an anonymous call about the bodies and where to find them. 

Jack spent years ceasing and brutally killing everyone who was involved, till he reached the all the people who took her organs, to the people who bought them, to the doctors who performed the operations, to the patients who received the organs. Jack killed them all, and their entire bloodlines, while Satan’s children were getting their satisfaction of collecting everyone’s souls. 

Years have turned into decades and Jack was still hunting everyone till no one was left. Till one day was walking around and saw the police officer. The officer who refused to look for his wife that night, the officer who didn’t show any empathy the next morning when he called him asking to come and identify a dead body. 

The officer recognized him and said ‘I know you; you are that guy whose wife was murdered and her organs were stollen.’

‘It’s been years, and I am retired now, and I am years now and I am 80 plus, but how come you never aged a bit?’

Jack replied ‘your grandchildren are all grown-ups now, something I couldn’t witness’. 

‘How did you manage the expensive universities?’

‘How did you pay for every one of your children all these massive amounts of money?’

The officer replied while looking angry ‘and that’s none of your damn business’.

Jack ‘it is when decided to cover for the organ dealers.

The policed officer replied while he clearly looked scared ‘it wasn’t like that, they threaded me, and kept me quite with all the money gave me’ ‘you should understand that losing your family is very hard’.

Jack replied with an evil smile on his face ‘exactly, and that’s why you will live long enough to witness how I kill every one of your bloodlines, and it’s going to be really’.

Then he continued while the demons he collected started coming out and entering the officer’s body ‘Me and you both are not in hurry, as we have all the time in the world.”
