Chapter 69
ANTARTECES
I noticed this type of butterfly mark on the back of my neck. Perhaps it's my unlucky birthmark that keeps me going down that path. Perhaps this is the mark a god gave me to remind himself that I shouldn't be receiving such a blessing and even a miracle.I winced in pain but managed to smile despite the fact that I was alone in the room. It's almost Christmas Eve, and yet here I am, flashing me with this celebration and reminding me for the next twenty-four hours that I am not a child of God. I can hear Christmas carols and sings, and the chimneys of every house are smoking. I'm sure they're enjoying their roast chicken and drinks right now. Talking to each other, bonding, singing, eating, telling jokes and the last part will be exchanging of gifts.When I was younger, I remember exchanging gifts with the people I knew as my parents. It was exciting. It was happiness. As I opened the gift that had been given to me, my young heart was filled with joy. I was so happy that day, not realizing that I shouldn't be. But what can I do to change my mind? I was so young and naive at the time.
My friends invited me to come and celebrate with them but I refuse. Milena was eager to come with her and celebrate Christmas Eve together with her family since I will be left alone. But I assured her that I am going to be fine and nothing to be worried about me.It pains me to see her sad as I refuse her offer. But I just don't like celebrating Christmas and I will be an eyesore if I go to. It is better for me to be left alone. And maybe I will be just a unlikely visitor in their house.The twins also offered me to come to them but again I refuse.
"You are such a pity and an instant burden Antarteces. Even your name sounds like one.Where the heck your name came from? The feeling that crawls into your dream and even in your daily lives feels like real. A fantasy that is too good to be true," I muttered as I pull a blanket near my neck and again lookup the ceiling. Maybe this is how I welcome the night till Christmas Eve and welcome again a day of struggling. A non-stop crawling for struggle of my life.
I sighed and closes my eyes. There is not even a single hope in everyday that I wake up. There is not even a small light to guide me my way. I am lost in the dark and still blindfolded with blessings and fortune. Maybe that for a long time that I am in the dark. The dark adopts me and take care of me even more darker and colder since no one is coming to save such a damsel in distress like me.
"And then he came," I uttered as his face flash in my mind. Those intimidating eyes he has was like I had seen it before but I can't tell where and when because it is impossible. He is a devil and there is no way that I have seen him before.
The dark adopts me and maybe that is why they send me a devil to offer me freedom and fortune that I crave but in return is I have to sold my soul to them. That was the hardest decision in my life that I have to think about and I only have seven days to come and think of it. And give him my final decision in my life. To think of it the offer was tempting for me and in my case I would love to sign my soul but to think that what if I had to come into a situation that I am happy and I enjoy my life and contented then I saw a grim reaper fetching me for my soul and come to him. Would that be the day that I regretted my decision?
"Make up your mind," I uttered and traveled my fingers into my hair annoyed. My brain wants too but my heart keeps on gripping on telling me no. But if I will say no then I will be no longer given a chance if I have to change my mind the next time. There will be no next time he said. This is a once in a lifetime offer of a devil.
"Can I trust him?" I can help but to utter those words since I am alone. What a question played in my mind in the word of trust when it comes to devil. You can't trust devils unless you read those contract and ask him what is this and that and expand it even more so you can understand every circumstances that you will be dwelling in the future in case your time will come.
Yes, maybe that will be the first step that I should do is to ask him about the contract and if they are a hidden rules and hidden charges. Devils can be a sneaky person and you will be surprised if you are not aware and you just signed a paper without knowing anything and will screaming the top of your lungs on why the hell they didn't tell you about it and you will be answered that you didn't even bother to ask them at all and simply put your bloodline into a test.
Besides he had given me seven days so I may better to ask him though but the question now is how and where would I call him?How would I see him? He said he will be back after seven days. How on earth I will come into my questions then?
Then it came into me that maybe if I walk in that street again I have to cross at him there. He might be searching for a person to become his client by now.
"No need to search for me. I will come to you."
