Depths of Hell

Depths 12

Tumawa si Tita ng makarating kami sa library nila. Humarap siya saamin at striktong pumalibot sa baywang niya ang braso ni Tito. I suddenly wanna sigh. I wanna find a man like my tito. He cherish my tita so much that he almost went insane.

Malas ata ako sa lovelife.

“Silly me, I already knew why are you here. It's about the forbidden forest right? And since forbidden is part of our kingdom we're responsible for it.” pangunguna niya.

“It's not like that your majesty.” kalmadong sagot ni Rhett.

“What is it then? But nevermind you're here because of your mission and being here is part of your mission as well as I suspected.” binalingan ako ni Tita.

“I wonder why you chose Blue over Royal Blood dear. I must say you made a wise decision since you really want an action school where you can go out anytime you want and Royal Blood is not like that.” she said.

Napangiwi ako. “Aside from that Royal Blood is a school for vampires Tita.” nakangiwing sambit ko. She stares at me deeply and as of now I know she already notice that I'm lying.

“Let's start.”

“Damn it! Forbidden forest is a mess! The last time I've gone here five years ago I think.” malakas na saad ni Tanner but I immediately shut him up.

Nagtatakang tiningnan niya ako lalo na't nasa bibig niya ang kamay ko.

“Hhmmm..hhmm.” bago ko pa pakawalan ang kamay ko sa bibig niya ay may humila na doon kaya naman napatingin ako rito.

It's Lucifer and he's expressionless. Kung wala lang 'tong fiancee iisipin ko ng nagseselos to. Kaso wala eh hanggang fubu lang ang ate girl niyo. Sayang naman.

“Why did you do that?” kunot noong tanong ni Tanner saakin. Binigyan ko siya ng malamig na tingin at hindi na sumagot. Hindi ba obvious na pinapatahimik ko siya.

“Somethings off.” Breeze murmured at pinalibot ang tingin sa buong paligid.

Nawalan ng buhay ang forbidden forest at puno ng nga dugo at nangangamoy malansa na ito. But we endured those awful smell just for this mission.

Kaagad na naging alerto ako ng nakaramdam ako ng may iba pang nilalang bukod saakin. Mabilis na hinapit ako ni Lucifer papunta sa gilid niya at hindi lang ako umimik.

“Someone’s here,” we all muttered at agad na pinalibot ang tingin sa paligid na naman. Someone is really here and his or her presence seems so powerful. I suddenly landed my eyes to Lucifer when I saw his gripped on me tightened.

He spoke. “Fucking show yourself you fucking traitor.” naguguluhan ko siyang tiningnan. Pero nasagot lahat ng tanong sa kaisipan ko ng nakarinig ako ng malademonyong tawa. Bigla akong nangilabot. Fucking shit.

Mas lalo akong nangilabot ng makita ko ang itsura nito. He has no mask on and showing his demonic look. I gulped. His face is hella scary. Matindi akong napakapit kay Lucifer ng dumapo ang tingin nito saakin.

Isang kakaibang ngisi ang pumaskil sa labi nito. “What a gorgeous lady you have with you Lucifer.” tinitigan nito ang kabuuan ko.

I can now hear Lucifer gritting her teeth. “Fuck off and go back to where you came from.” malamig niyang saad rito.

Napahalakhak ang demonyo kasabay ng pag-aapoy ng buong katawan niya. “I wandered the Encantasia now and I like it here. Better than hell.”

“You killed the guards.” malamig na sambit ni Rhett.
