Chapter 71
SEVEN
I took a few steps closer to her, and I can't help but be mesmerized by her eyes. Even if she appears to be a normal girl to some, she is not to me, and she appears to be very familiar to me since the day I first saw her.
Even I was taken aback by my actions. I leaned on her and couldn't help but smell her. It smells like vanilla ice cream, which I want to eat. I tilted in close to her and whispered.
"So, have you already thought about it? And maybe that is why you have some questions for me to answer it for you?" I whispered in her ear which make she startled and stand from her sit.
"There is nothing wrong in asking. And besides I want to know what will happen to me. What will be my death? What will I will be in the next life," she stated, and I couldn't help but laugh, and it was not my intention to make her feel small.
I totally understand that she is in the pit of being a scared little kitten facing a big dark hole that you can't see where it ends. From the world if sinners here in this land a person with a lot of wants and desires can't even bring such questions like this.
I wipe my left eye as if I was teary from laughing and she can't help but to flush in red in her cheeks.
"Of course my kitten what will you expect? And besides you will have a good life here on earth because you will have what you wish for so live to the fullest by then."
Isn't that what she wanted all along? She despised the gods above and was considering contacting the devils below. And now I'm offering her desires, and all she has to do is sign our contract, which is as simple as it gets. And once she signed it, she was able to live her life to the fullest every day until her deadline. What's the harm in that? You must live your life to the fullest, fulfilling all of your desires, before receiving your death certificate. However, there is no loss in this. But this one is unique. Her eyes tell a different story. She desired to sign the contract and obtain her desires, but she did not wish to die. What a greedy kitten, but I like her for it.
"I know it is such a lame statement and I know what I am facing but I am scared. I am scared to death, Seven," she stated and I was caught off guard when she called be by my name. She called my name and it was delirious that I wanted her to do it again.
"I'm afraid that if I get to the point where I just want to live, I won't be able to meet my deadline. What if I discovered my true parents on that day? What if I was happy that day? Would I have the courage to sign my life away in that paper? Will I be prepared at that time? Would I beg mercy for just an hour, or even a day, to say goodbye to whoever is in my life at the time that I have spent my life?" she said and her lips were trembling and I can see in her eyes the pain and that she wanted to cry but she averted her eyes on me and stare at the window.
Meet her parents? Is she still convinced that her parents are alive? I've known her parents are nowhere to be found in this land since the beginning. We, the devils, can see by looking at a subject with our eyes. It was dubbed the "three hearts" by us. If both of her parents are still alive, three hearts indicate that they are still alive. In her case, however, there is only one heart, and that is her own. And I have no intention of telling her how her parents died. That couple died in a miserable way. The man cheated in his wife and they were caught sleeping with each other. The wife was already suspecting her husband the he is cheating on her. But she kept it to her self and wanted to trap his husband and witness it on herself. Then one day the wife made breakfast of her husband. Ironed and ready his clothes, shined his shoes and ready his things. She put smile in her face while in front of her husband. Talk things to make her husband in good company and a nice ambiance. When her husband was in his car on his way to work, his wife secretly followed him. And instead, his husband's work is in a different direction, so he takes a different route. She was heartbroken and felt betrayed. She was in pain, enraged, and her heart was wailing so loudly that she couldn't help but cry while driving. She wanted to kill her husband, but she was more interested in finding out who his wife was. She looked down at the knives at her side, knowing that she had planned this all along. She doesn't want to believe her husband is cheating on her at first, but as time passes, she can sense it. Her husband became cold, but his care for her never faded, and he was still different when it came to her. And then all of a sudden, all of her conclusions became real and she was hurt and can't think straight.All she wanted to do is to kill her husband and that woman. And then she did. The room filled with scream and plea. A pool of blood scattered the white sheets and in the floor. She took a cigarette and hutches it looking at the two person swimming in their own blood. After a few minutes she also takes her life.
"You have nothing to worry about, Antarteces, because you will have me."
