Chapter 26

I waited for the three to wake up, I didn't sleep because I was thinking about the words Alada had said to me.

Alada was right, my mission was to make Pavel evil and not to help him become king. What do I care if Pavel becomes king or not? It's up to him to decide if he recovers to be king.

I took a deep breath and thought of a plan on how to start making Pavel bad, I was not thinking about the church that we were going to go to when the three of them woke up. In my estimation, it will take an hour to walk and we will reach the church, but instead of thinking about that, I am thinking about my mission.

I realized that I was wasting my time thinking about what I can do to get past and pass the church, I don't care about Pavel's mission anymore, all I understand now is my mission, and that is to make Pavel evil.

"You're awake." I looked up and saw Pavel just awake, he smiled at me and stretched. "Good morning." He greeted me, I just gave him a cold look and then took a deep breath. Perhaps because of his smile, I felt closer to the three of them, something that will not happen now because I will distance myself from them again and just focus on my mission.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, I looked at him as he sat in front of me and was about to touch me when I dodged. I raised an eyebrow at him then frowned.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine," I said, he laughed.

"Looks like you've become grumpy again." He said while laughing, he slightly moved away from me so I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you eaten?" He asked while arranging his bed.

"Yes," I answered briefly, he didn't say a word. My eyebrows arched when the boy with us suddenly appeared, it's a miracle he wasn't smiling, the wrinkles on my forehead slowly disappeared when I saw the fear in his eyes as if he was looking at the evilest creature.

"Why can you look at me like that?" I asked coldly, he moved away from me as if he was afraid of my presence.

"I-I'm going back to the old house." He answered so nervously that I was stunned. What am I doing? I don't know, I didn't do anything wrong. After all, he is still a part of a person, he is a soul that became a person before. And people, are no different, they are just the same fear of people like me.

"I-I'm scared of you." He said so I looked away. "I can see... your aura inside that person's body and... and it is far away from the Sister I was with a while ago." He said, I didn't look at him, instead I laughed.

"Y-your aura started to change last night after you talked to your sister. And now... I'm afraid to approach you because your aura is so dark." He said so I looked at him, and he bowed and looked away when our eyes met.

"I'm sorry, thank you." He said and slowly disappeared in front of me, I kept looking at the place where he was standing earlier.

"The people, even when they will never change their eyes on us, for them we are monsters and scary. We are always the bad ones."

I laughed as I remembered what Alada told me before giving me the mission, she was right. All the people are afraid of us, and for them, we are the worst.

I'm used to it, but why am I hurt?

"Are you okay?" I looked at Pavel who was standing in the place where the boy was standing earlier, he was looking at me as if he had been talking to me for a while.

That boy, he was the first time he trusted me and he was also the first time he scared me so much.

What else can I expect from people?

"Wake them up, we're leaving," I said standing up from my seat.

Pavel was confused by what was happening but he followed what I said, I first walked away from them, I sighed, and held onto the tree near me.

"I-I'm scared of you."

I laughed as I remembered what the boy said.

"You're all afraid of us," I whispered.

A few minutes passed, and I just stood there looking at nothingness, I shouldn't be affected like this. What do I need to know about people? they are just a toy for us.

"Ksara." I didn't look at the person who called me, I felt that someone cut in my line that's why I looked at the presence of that person and saw Cynrad looking at what I was looking at.

"The depth of your thoughts." He said and looked at me, I looked away and then took a deep breath.

"Are you feeling alright?" he asked.

"Don't act concerned about me," I said so he looked at me with a frown. "In the end, you all will be scared of me," I whispered.

"What?" He asked, he didn't hear the last thing I said so I looked at him.

"What are you most afraid of?" I asked, and he was confused.

"To die?" He answered the question, I looked in front of him.

"Except to die?" I will ask.

"To go to hell." He answered so I laughed, and said it already.

"What's funny?" He asked while looking at me, the smile on my lips disappeared and slowly became serious.

"We're leaving." I then said to walk back to the place where we stayed. I saw that Pavel and Bael had just finished making arrangements, they were also ready to leave, so I took my bag and put it on.

"We're leaving," I said coldly then started walking towards them.

"Did you have a bad night Yuniko?" Bael asked but I ignored him, we continued walking until we passed Cynrad who was standing on a rock, I just kept walking.

"Oy Yuniko, did Pavel piss you off again so you're grumpy?" Bael asked who was behind me.

"What am I? I didn't do anything, when I woke up she was like that." Pavel said.

"Last night her smiles were still beautiful, you devils what did you do to her?" Bael asked, they just continued the conversation that went to teasing, I stopped walking when I saw the church bell from where I was standing, fear immediately flooded me and my human body warmed up.

"Oy, are you alright?" Pavel asked who was next to me, I just looked at him and saw the concern in his eyes.

"We're almost there," I said and swallowed, even from where I'm standing I can see you and I can feel that I'm not welcome in that place.

Unlike before, my walking suddenly slowed down, I almost didn't want to move but I forced myself because I knew the three would be surprised by my actions.

I took a few steps before I stopped again.

I really can't because first of all, it will hurt my soul and not my body. Second, the saints' presence makes me vomit.

"You look pale," Cynrad said that he was already in front of me, Bael, and Pavel also went in front of me.

"I thought you were all right?" Pavel asked and was about to touch my hand, I glared at him.

"I'm fine," I said and tried to step again but I almost tripped because I was starting to step on the holy ground covered by the church. I'm not stupid enough not to know this because I've had encounters like this many times when the body I've joined is undergoing an exorcism.

I continued to walk, I almost screamed in pain because I felt my body and my soul being torn apart until we were in front of the church and I could see right here where I was standing the saints inside it and some a watchman from heaven watching over me.

"Your nose is bleeding." Cynrad himself caught me when I almost fell, my body suddenly weakened and my soul felt pain.

"You're not feeling well yet but--" I didn't finish what Pavel was saying who was next to Cynrad and me and holding my bag, I took his hand and tiredly looked into his eyes.

I feel like the tail is always beating my body and soul, at any time I may lose consciousness and separate from this body.

"Draken Hudgens," I whispered and almost screamed when I felt my horn getting hot again.

"Who's that?" Bael asked, My grip on Pavel tightened even more.

"Baptize Draken Hudgens," I said with all my might, Pavel's forehead was wrinkled and it gradually disappeared.

"But we don't know if--"

"JUST PROMISE TO GET DRAKEN HUDGENS BAPTIZED NO MATTER WHAT!" I screamed because my foot hurt so much. It's like cutting off my leg because of the pain.

"W-what happened to you?" Pavel asked me worriedly, I just smiled at him while holding his hands tightly.

"Amen."

I don't know where the voice that said 'amen' came from, but after saying it, my soul completely separated from the body that Cynrad was holding.

"Go back to where you came from." I looked at the entrance of the church and saw someone like me, my age but from above, an angel looking at me with his weapon ready. I looked at the three trying to wake up my human body.

"Draken Hudgens," I said again to someone like me but from heaven, he was looking at me and there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

"Baptize the name Draken Hudgens," I added and remembered again the boy who was with us but returned to the old house because he was afraid of me.

"I have trust in you."

"I-I'm scared of you."

I once again remembered the words that the boy I was with even for a short time had said. The creature at the door of the church didn't move, so I turned around and took a deep breath.

"Always stick it in your mind, that angels and those like us are mortal enemies."

I remembered again what Father told me. I swallowed. They didn't seem to have any intention of doing what I said so I faced the angel at the door of the church again.

"He wants to see his parents in heaven when you come to power, he was the first person who trusted me that's why you baptized the name Draken Hudgens, not for me but for that child," I said while looking at the male angel, I even looked away and bowed.

"Please," I whispered.

For the first time, I pleaded with our mortal enemy just because of the boy who first trusted me.
