Why stay sane all the time if you can be a idiot once in a while
I could hear voice but couldn't make out the words. It was all far away for me to hear what the person is saying. But then I pulled into the abyss of darkness and everything silent down.
"A.....r.....a......." Someone was calling my name but I didn't know who the someone was. My mind was not working properly as it didn't decipher what was happening around me.
And my whole body felt like it is floating in the air with my eyes still closed. Everything felt peaceful and honestly, I didn't want to leave this phase. My dull brain was also silent for the first time in a while and I was so thankful for that.
And then I let the peaceful breeze do whatever they want to do with me.
A warmth spread on my whole body, I sighed in relief. It felt so good and I sighed in content.
My head throbbed at the sudden light behind my eyelids as I tried to close it tightly. It was hurting my eyes and well, my head too as it was forming well known headache.
Suddenly the light disappeared as my throbbing head also reduced then only I tried to relax.
"I know you can hear me sweetheart. Open your eyes." I furrowed my brows at the voice.
When did I closed it for her to say open my eyes?
A hand placed on my head as the tingling sensation relaxed my brain down to my whole body.
I my automatically opened slowly but it was very painful to open as I felt like I have been slept for ages. But I didn't, right?
I blinked rapidly to try to clear the blur image in front of me.
"Slowly my dear."
And I listened this instruction as I slowly blinked. After a moment, I could see the blurry image turn into actual person.
I smiled seeing her petite body near me. "Grandma." I whispered - coughed. She quickly put the glass of water in front of my mouth. I drank it and then only knew how much I was thirsty.
Then she put the glass on the table besides my bed after I drank the whole water.
She didn't say anything. She was just looking at me and I too at her. It was a staring contest. Her eyes were full of questions and well mine must be full of shrugging.
After she knew, I am not going to tell her anything she said, "Where did you go?"
Then the reality stucked me like a lightening.
Demon
And all the things he wanted me to do.
An island in the middle of ocean.
The pale, red eyes man.
The unique weird leaves tree.
And the dangerous animals.
Candles
Circle
Chanting
Bowl
Knife
Blood
Everything flashed in front of my eyes. Then I quickly opened my right palm and indeed there was scar on it but more like a tattoo.
The line where knife cut it had the wierd designs and patterns and also something written on it just like it did on the bowl and knife.
And then I remembered, my blood kept running into the bowl like a tap water but it didn't overflow the bowl by it's amount as my blood kept running. Leaves falling on the ground, I couldn't move a muscle and then losing my consciousness. End.
That fucking demon didn't tell me that for the process, it needed my whole blood not just a bowl and then I might be dead.
He fucking knew that everything that I will be dead after the ceremony. And he fucking let me die there like some rag doll.
That is why my blood kept running and I couldn't move a muscle. Whatever I did, to resurrect needed my blood and it drank me whole till nothing left.
I fucking knew that I couldn't trust the demon and they have the tendency to trick anyone to do their dirty work.
Just like he did show me how he killed my grandma.
He is fucking manipulative asshole.
And who the fuck I resurrected?
Whole lots of questions swirling in my brain. Only that asshole can answer me but knowing him, he won't tell me anything. And the where the fuck is he now?
At least he could thank me before disappeared after going through shit.
But I don't know what happened after I lose my consciousness.
Who did bring me here?
Demon?
Pale man?
I don't remember anything after that
Something caught my eyes and I looked down. The red ruby pendant was still in my neck when I put it while going to the coastline feared it will get lost if I put it somewhere else.
Except the pendant in my neck and the tattoo scar on my palm, I almost believed it was dream but when my gaze went towards the pendant and tattoo, I know this is really happened.
"Who brought me here?" I asked the first question since it was gawing in my mind.
I want to know who the person is.
"Young lady, you are in no position to ask any questions right now." A strict voice said besides me.
I cringed at that voice because I don't know how to tell her what happened. Maybe I was fine sleeping just like before. I didn't have to open my eyes that soon then only she could leave me but knowing her, she won't rest until she got answers she is searching for.
I can't just tell her everything.
And she won't believe me either if I tell her about demon.
"Where. Did. You. Go.?" I cringed again when she put emphasis on each words.
"To the east side." I tried to answer her as short as possible.
I was still playing with my pendant. Not my but now it has become mine. I like it so I will keep it. I am not going to give it back to him if he comes again. I don't think, he will come knowing I did his work.
"And how come devil's ruby in you neck and devil's mark on your palm?" She fired questions. I knew she was trying to suppress her anger to not shout at me.
Wait
a
minute.
Did she just say the red ruby in my neck is devils?
And the mark on my palm is devil's mark?
I widen my eyes. I was dealing with the demon this whole time?
But did he put the mark on my hand? And gave ruby to me if it belongs to him?
"U..mmmmm" I didn't know what to say to her.
"Whatever you did, is not right. As he was buried since hundredth years and you just ressurected him."
I then glanced at her. He was the person whom I ressurected?
I can't believe that fucking devil made me do that. To make him alive. But wait. So it was his...
"Yes." Grandma complete the sentence. "It was his soul who made you do that."
Oh goddess!
"Our moon goddess punished him when he killed so many werewolves ruthlessly so she angrily put a curse on him and buried his body in the middle of the island of east side. And left his soul to roam on earth without body. No one knew whereabouts of the devil because no one didn't hear or see him since moon goddess put a curse on him." Curse? He was cursed and punished by moon goddess? And I just ressurected his body.
Very generous of you Ara. Very generous.
She continued. "But she also tell him how to remove the curse. If his deeds will be completed then the red moon will appear in the sky as it has never been before and on that day, a witch's blood will be needed to ressurect his body but his soul won't be allowed there."
So that's why he said he was not allowed there. And that day was the red moon too so that means he impressed the moon goddess with his deeds.
What did he do? To impress her to remove her curse on him?
I am really curious.
"I didn't know that your blood will be the one to ressurect him as you are half witch but I was so wrong and then this happened. I should have known better." She mumbled last words but I heard it.
I grabbed her hands in mine. "It's not your fault grandma. We can't decide what will happen next. It's written already. So relax."
She shook his head. "No, you don't know anything Ara." She then grabbed my right hand and traced the markings on it. "This is his mark." I nodded while furrowing my brows. "That means you are linked to him now." Oh rubbish! How I will be link to him? He is the devil and I am just a human.
"This ruby is his and the ruby recognised you as his so it is remained in your neck if not, then it would have been removed automatically once you put it. It can't be removed whether you want it or not. It will be permanently stick to you from now on."
What?
I laughed at her remarks.
Me linked to him? This pendent belongs to me?
I then grabbed the pendent to remove to show her that she is obviously wrong. I tried to removed it but it won't move an inch. I tried again but nope.
A horror ran down me as my fearful eyes moved to her pitiful.
"This can't be true." I whispered.
I am linked to him?
How?
Did he know that?
I didn't know I said that loudly when grandma replied, "No, he didn't know that. Whoever make blood sacrifice, it will be bind to him forever."
Forever?
That means eternity
"." I don't know what to say.
"Is there anything to undo my doings?" I said her in hopes.
Because I don't want to stick to him forever.
"Even moon goddess can't do anything about that." And here goes my all hopes to drain. "Wherever you go, he will follow you because of your blood link."
Why the fuck did I do it in the first place, I don't fucking know.
Maybe if I would had told her first then she would have given me a solution but deeds are done already. Thanks to me for hiding this from my grandma.
"Who brought me here then? The devil himself?"
"No. He was nowhere near you. The red eyes man brought you here unconscious and since then you were conscious."
"Since then?"
"It's been a month and a half, since you have been sleeping."
What the fuck!
It's been a month and half already?
"The ceremony took a toll on you Ara."
