"So how was your school?" Dad asked while we were eating dinner.

"Good." I shrugged, just looking at my plate.

It has been good, though I felt like there was something mysterious in that school that has been hunting me.

Ken would often pop in on my mind, reminiscing the image of what happened between us a while ago. I could still sense the feeling of his touch on my skin and his deep, melting stares, digging my soul through my eyes. His voice often was playing on my eardrums, and the last words about his story gave me goosebumps.

“He will always be miserable watching the girl he loves dying every after centuries.”

I was so affected by that part. I felt sad about the angel lover's situation too. Hearing their story, it was so horrible.

"Mia, are you with us?"

I looked at mom as my brows crossed. Did she just say something? I lost my senses.

"Sorry, mon. Come again?"

Mom sighed. She often gets stressed out because of me suddenly popping out in the conversation like I was with them bu

  • The Curse of Lucifer    Chapter 9

    It was Saturday. Thank, goodness, no school. I decided to visit my grandmother in the cemetery since it was her birthday. She was one of the people who raised me. I sat on the lawn while staring at her tomb. I was in the cemetery a few hours already, talking to her. I stood when J noticed that it was getting darker. "Granny, I need to go home." I caressed her tomb one last time. "Bye..." I whispered before walking away. While making my way out of the cemetery, I stopped and looked at the man, sitting on the lawn, in front of a tomb; weeping. My brows crossed. His side view looked like Ken. Am I hallucinating? I wasn't that crazy to hallucinate. I slowly walked towards him as I confirmed it was really Ken. He was holding the tombstone while sobbing. My lips thinned. I never thought I would see him crying; the sound of his sob was so in pain. "Ken?" I called. He raised his head as he looked at me. He quickly looked away, wiping the tears on his cheeks. "What are you doing here?" I

    It took me a while to calm my thumping chest while the strong wind was slapping me in the cemetery. I took one last deep breath before I started walking. I stopped when I almost stepped on a wallet on the lawn.My brows crossed as I looked around, slightly hoping that Ken was still around but there was no sign of him anymore. I picked up the wallet to check what was inside, just to confirm if it was owned by Ken.My brows crossed at the picture of a woman in the wallet. It was an old picture, looking vintage with its wrinkled photo paper and somehow fading colours.Everything got blurry while the picture I was staring at was getting clear in my head. It was impossible. The woman in the picture looks just like me, only with a different hairstyle, an old vintage hairstyle. I took the picture out of the wallet just to see it clearly. My heart started thumping loud again. My eyes widened as my chest dug its veins. Who is this? Why do I look just like her? I'm so sure it looks like me but

    "Hello?!" I entered the quiet chapel despite of darkness roaring around. I took all my courage to stepped in every corner of the place, looking around.The surroundings was spooky and dark. There was only a yellow dim on the ceiling but the moon was even brighter outside this chapel. "Hello?" I looked up at the high ceiling, then at the stadium with a big cross on the center.He should be here. The guy who called me earlier should be here by now. I knew I was foolish to believe on that guy but I was desperate, so eager to know what was going on, specially the truth about myself.All my life I have never feel so settled in my life, so contented on what I know. There was always a part of me that was missing and now I could finally feel that I was near to getting that missing piece; I was hoping that my instincts were right."Hello?! Anybody here?!" I was walking around when the door slammed close. I flinched as I looked at it. My heart started thudding. It wasn't just a wind. The loud

    I was chasing my breath as we kissed passionately. Gradually, our memories together made their way to my head, flashing everything back to my mind.--I was walking alone in the garden, happily living in the Kingdom as an angel when someone pulled me and placed my back in the wall corner. My heart flinched as I met Lucifer's eyes while he gripped both of my shoulders so my body would just lock in the wall.My head stiffened but I managed to look around, hoping there were other angels around but there was no one. My knees trembled at Lucifer's stare."W-what do you want?" I asked.Lucifer wasn't one of the friendly and fun-loving angels in the Kingdom. He was the most devious species that ever existed to the point that everyone here was doing their best to avoid him.He playfully smirked. "Guess what." I looked away, I couldn't even stand his creepy grin.Our place was supposed to be healthy and peaceful and I couldn't understand why the highest-ups allowed Lucifer to still be hanging

    "Getting what's supposed to be mine," Lucifer whispered in my ears as he tightened his arm's grip on my neck while he remained at my back.I looked around, trembling as the angels panicking in the background got crowded. They were whispering, exclaiming, and some were gossiping. King arrived and tried to calm the angels down. Lucifer still didn't let me go and just kept on threatening us like he was getting into King's nerves."You'll be mine, Mia," he whispered with a sharp voice, stabbing my chest."Lucifer, please calm down and let her go." King was so calm, he just kept convincing Lucifer to let me go."I would never let go of what's mine!""I'm not yours." I gritted my lips but they thinned when he tightened his grip on my neck. I looked up, catching a breath to calm my chest."You are mine, Mia and you can do nothing about it." The tip of his lip touched my ear.I squeezed my eyes close, carefully breathing."Lucifer, what do you want?" King asked him."Mia!" Kash's voice thump

    "Is this the place they call hell?" I looked around as I arrived at the burning place of Lucifer. The dark surrounding froze my hair and tingled my chest like my heart was screaming about how dangerous the place looks like.My chest crumpled while I was roaming around, looking at every corner of gloominess. The place sent darkness to my mind; I really couldn't see anything except for walls and a yellow dim light plus fire on some corners, indeed a hell. I almost broke apart when I saw Mia in the corner of a dark room. I ran towards her while she was laying on a bed, sobbing. I crumpled my fist as my heart burned. I couldn't take seeing her cry."Mia," I muttered a word.She looked up as her eyes widened."K-Kash..." She couldn't speak a word! Her voice was nothing but sobbing. My eyes started burning; I was stopping myself from crying.I hugged her tight as I squeezed my eyes close. Oh God, I missed her so much. I could even feel how fragile

    Mia's POV "Who are you?" I asked Where was I? I could see myself dancing with a guy. We were dancing along to every bit of slow music; in a crowded place where shadows of people were dancing; full of happiness like there was a bliss that I'd never felt before. But I couldn't see the faces roaming around with their ballgown swaying. "Do I know you?" My head hurts from trying to see the face of the man I was dancing with; of the man who was unknowingly giving me butterflies in my stomach. It was all blurry except for his scent. The manly scent that kept travelling on my nose and hitting the nerves of my heart, pumping my blood vessels. His scent was so familiar, even the warmth of his breath that was travelling through my lips gave me a hell of goosebumps. My heart started pumping even louder; louder than the thunderstorms on a gloomy, rainy day. His hands-on my waist made me feel so comfortable. A comfort that I never felt before and that made me freaking nervous. It was a blas

    Mia's POV"Is that so. Okay, I'll just find another seat," I sounded friendly. Seriously, I was trying to be a normal not awkward teenager.My heart was beating fast as I look for another vacant seat. I could still hear his voice in the back of my ears. It sounded so manly, so good yet so cold.I caught his eyes still staring at me, he looked away as his adam's apple moved upside down. He was a snob, I guess. Maybe people here were snubbers."Hey!" A girl raised her hand. She was just behind the guy with cold eyes.She was smiling so I managed to smile back."You can sit beside me. No one owns this chair." Her voice was sweet. I guess not everyone here was cold. I glanced at the snob man again before walking passed by him.I shook my head as my heart was intimidated by his stares. I could feel there was something about him that I should discover. I felt like I'd met him before. Don't know, maybe just uhm.. kind

    Finally, our wholeday class ended. I chose to walked around the school first. My feet reached the garden. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath with the good and refreshing air, giving a good smell due to colorful flowers around. I stopped walking when I saw a beautiful fountain but a man sitting on a cemented chair near it caught my attention. I bit my lower lip as it sinked in to me that it was Ken. His messy hair was dancing along the strong wind; I memorized his firm back from our wholeday lesson like I just couldn't stop staring at him during class. He puffed a breath like he was thinking so deeply with his emotionless face. I shrugged before walking closer to the cemented chair. I sat next to him. "Hi," I murmured. His face lifted until our eyes met. His gaze was deep the minute it landed on my face. I gulped before looking away. The strange feeling behind his glimmering eyes was kinda bothering though it was making me more curious about him at the same time. He looked at

    "I'm Devon by the way." He offered his hand without answering my confused face. "Mia right?"My brows arched. How come he knew my name? My lips parted and were about to speak when he cut me off."Well, sources."He said still not removing his smile. Unlike Ken, his eyes weren't cold, but it was spooky. It was so cryptic that my body would goosebumps from minute to minute of his stares. "Someone's bothering you?" His dark voice brought me back to reality. Our eyes met once again as my heartbeat fast. I couldn't figure out what was the anxiousness in my chest all about. I avoided his deep, suffocating gaze.I shook my head. "Uhm... I need to go. Excuse me." I stood and he smiled wider.I gasped before walking away from him."Have a great day!" He shouted as I continued walking.That Devon guy was making me uncomfortable like hell. I shook my head while walking toward the restroom. I walked slowly when I heard footsteps behind my back. I looked behind but there was no one. I made big s

    Kash' POV"You're still an angel Kash. You and Mia are still an angel. Lucifer just cursed you--""And the highest ups didn't even bother to help us. They just let us burn in this place, live with the curse and that's it! I have been living this way, suffering as if I did something so bad in the Kingdom." I shook my head with my chest tightening. "Mia? She always dies... repeatedly." I took a deep breath as I remembered what was soon to happen. "Angels don't die, Claire. We are not angels anymore." I accepted that fact for a very long time. I was tired of being punished for something I had no idea what. If only I could kill myself. I mean I tried, but fucking Lucifer cursed me to live forever."You sound like you're questioning the highest ups." "I'm just stating facts, Claire.""You're stating what you believe is right. Why can't you just trust me? I'm here to help, Kash. I'm here to help Mia and you." I laughed sarcastically as I shook my head. "You can't help us. You don't know
