Chapter 19 - They Buried a Boy, He Dug Up a Demon

It was a wonderful morning, but not for the Harrington Family. Cries were heard on a cold stormy night of their son's death which they didn't expect. 

A funeral was prepared by the relatives. He was peacefully lying in the coffin— with his pale skin and a beautiful suit. 

There were many people inside the church, wailing and crying in sadness. His friends that he only trusted were there, Missy and Ali. 

Michael and Elizabeth were yelling "Why did this happen to him?!". The priest arrived at the church. 

"Now, we have come here to see Lukas Harrington's funeral. This was an unexpected death. No one could ever know, only God knows." The priest blessed everyone with the holy water.

"You will always be remembered, Lukas" The priest added and blessed the coffin. 

Elizabeth came up to his friends and classmates and asked, "Are you his friends?"

Missy answered "Yes. Yes we are." All of them nodded. 

"Lukas always tells me everything about you. He really had fun playing with you guys. All his memories will always be kept inside your heart. I'm so happy to meet you in person." Elizabeth told them and cried.

Missy and her friends left the funeral after it ended. You can clearly see that Lukas's Father really loved his son. He yelled and wailed and begged for his son to come back. 

"They didn't have a choice," Ali said.

"Lukas didn't have a choice either." Missy replied.

"Life is like this, y'know? Everyone comes and goes— just like the birds in the sky."

All of the people in the funeral left, only his relatives stayed. Their cries were louder than ever. They calmed down. 

"Who did this to my son..? Why would they ever do this?!" Michael murmured.

"Calm down now, Mich."

"I will never calm down for what they did to my Lukas! They must pay!" He yelled and released all of his anger.

The police still investigated the crime scene. The work of the murderers was clean and they didn't find any fingerprints. They don't have suspects and they don't have any clues. This incident became one of the hardest puzzles to solve. 

They asked the principal about Lukas's school performances. The principal told everything they knew but none helped. 

A student came up to him and told him about a group of bullies in their school. The name was "BangBangs". 

"Everyday, the members of the gang are always with him. They are always in the canteen and sometimes, I see them taking Lukas's food." 

Michael became curious about this "gang" and asked more students in the school. All their descriptions are related to each other.

It is said that the gang has 13 members, Lukas was the 13th member. They bully people and sometimes steal in stores. Sometimes, they also find Lukas getting bullied by the members. The leader of the gang, Cheese, was the one that was abusing Lukas with the co-leader, Mark. All of this information was the ones he got from the students around. He went back to their house. 

"Fuck those kids. I will get revenge. I will kill them all! Twelve sins for twelve lives as it is." 

In their basement, he created a machine that makes you indestructible. You'll become something that you don't want to be. 

There were four pillars that surrounded a tube in the middle. The pillars conduct electricity and transfer it to the tube. This can turn anyone into something— aggressive, perhaps a monster. 

Michael had a plan on his mind, he already knew his first victim would be.
