KailaAlicia looked at me and replied, "Yeah, of course!""Then tell me who they are." I repeated."I'm going to tell you about it, but it's not yet the right time. You need to be strong and brave first, because you don't totally know them and what they can do," Alicia explained.What could they do? Were they that difficult to catch? Maybe they were also spirits like Alicia, so the police officers could not catch them. It had been months, but they still had not told me anything about those murderers. I wondered if that would be the right time.Speaking of the police, there was a carriage which had stopped at the front of the mansion, and a policeman stepped out. He walked towards the gate and pressed the button there to make the doorbell ring. As usual, everyone was busy and there was nobody who opened the gate, so I stood up, walked towards him, and let the constable enter.He was wearing a denim shirt, thick black trousers, and boots with yellow soles. He appeared to be very serious
Her words sounded interesting. It wasn't totally boring being with a powerful friend like Alicia, although there was something messing up my mind. It was the reason that I didn't know why she told me to kill the constable, though we both knew there were other ways to solve the problem. Especially since she was powerful and killing someone was an immoral way to fasten someone's lips. Maybe there was a heavy reason why Alicia told me to do that, so I didn't waste an opportunity to ask."Well, I know you're merciful, and that's your weakness, so we need to remove that from you. If you're asking the reason, it's a part of how you can get rid of the curse." Alicia tried to explain it, though it was incomprehensible and made me slowly scratch my head."Still, I don't understand the way to be free. I have been asking you about it many times, but you're just making me wonder," I complained."Oh, sorry, I had forgotten to tell you about it," Alicia replied. "But are you sure you're willing to
LilI tried to calm myself. Though I really wanted to punch that man, I realized he was powerful, for he could not be touched, and he seemed to be floating in air. Perhaps it was also because he was an air that he lacked feelings and a brain. He asked me to conspire with him or trust him without saying any reason. I had a hunch that he only wanted to be close to me so that he could use me more for his own purposes. However, it also came to my mind that nothing would be lost if we became friends. If I collaborate with him, he might also remove the curse from me. But I wasn't that foolish anymore. If he really wanted to help me, why would he not remove the curse before that? He was definitely selfish."You put a curse on me and then you're asking me now to trust you. Do you really think you're trustworthy? Why won't you take the curse from me so that we can be friends and we won't need to fight anymore?""If I can only bring back the time, I already did it, so I won't give you that curs
The first person I saw when I woke up was Cain. Maybe he didn't leave last night. Everything was normal and it meant that he didn't cause any problems, like a curse, which was difficult to solve. He was lying there on the rough floor like a beggar with closed eyes, and seemed to be in a deep slumber. It never entered my mind that he could also feel tired, for he was already a spirit.I sprang from my bed and barefoot walked towards the door. I knew, even though there were many things I needed to deal with, I also needed to go to school. Though there were too many questions in my mind, I didn't want to lose my future because of them. I knew my parents would be mad if I did not continue my studies without giving them a valid reason. I believed that finishing school was the only thing that I could do to exchange my parents' hard work and perspiration.The door was crying when I opened it. Cain was being aroused from a deep slumber. He stood up without saying a word and got out of my bedr
KailaKilling a hundred people wasn't just a game. Lives couldn't be bought because everyone had a responsibility to take care of each other's lives. What I could do was hope, hoping that the people I could kill would forgive me, even though I knew it was hopeless because murder was both a mortal and forgivable sin."Kaila, I know you have a special ability like seeing things, such as people from far away places. You may use that to know who you want to kill," Alicia advised."So, do you mean that it wasn't from you?" I asked."Yeah, it did not come from me, but from, maybe from the curse.""Okay, but I don't know how to use this power, because sometimes I cannot control it. Can you help me with that?""That's so easy to control. You only need to focus if you want to see something. You need to focus when using your eyes to see someone or something. I knew you could control that soon."Alicia was right because it would show me the things I really wanted to see, and if I didn't want to
We were going inside the mansion when I remembered that many people might become hindrances to me in doing the necessary things which could help me get rid of the curse. Especially my personal maid, Amara Spicy, who was so inquisitive. She might also leave the mansion if I did not be truthful about the weird things that were happening to me those days.I was confused when Alicia halted in front of the antiquated mirror and seemed to be scrutinizing her own reflection. There were probably a lot of mysteries about it since, though eons would pass, it was still there. My parents had never told me anything about that mirror, and every time I would ask, they were always changing the topic.I didn't know if it was true that the mirror was older than my grandparents. I could say they were not telling the truth to me, but I knew how they would tell the truth and the unreal ones. That didn't matter if sometimes they believed that if they told me everything, I had nothing to discover."Is there
LilWhatever Cain would tell me, his sins were unforgivable. He was the reason my life became poignant. He was the reason why I killed a lot of innocent people, even my friend's mother. And I wasn't in a difficult situation if he didn't show his demonic face. But if he wanted to assist me in breaking the curse, why wouldn't he talk to me instead of blasting in my ear like a machine gun?Perhaps it was a mistake if I always disagreed with every word he would say. That I was allowing them to enter one ear and leave another annoyed him as a reply to his opinions. But though I would fight him, he didn't run out of words, and he talked to me the whole day. He would never give up as long as he could not get my attention, and he seemed to be a tireless spirit. I didn't know. Perhaps his real intention was to win my trust, for the thought that I might conspire with him.Cain had been following me wherever I would go. I became mad and forgot to respect the elderly. I talked back to him. The fl
Thereafter, Cain told me the real reason why he gave me the curse. He said he wanted to get rid of the curse, which came from the powerful spirit. I was wondering if it was a good enough reason why he did it, or if I did not understand what he meant."But what kind of curse was given to you by the powerful spirit that you had to curse me too?" I slightly scratched my head."It wasn't just a simple curse: my wife and I could not go back to the realm of spirits. It has been thousands of years since we began strolling in this world. We're searching for someone who can help us get back to the place where we suitably are," Cain explained."Do you have a wife?" I queried."Yeah, She was also cursed by the same spirit who's even crueler than us." Cain sighed. "And I will never leave this earth without her.""So if you really have a wife, then where is she?" I asked."She had been strolling in other parts of the world to search for someone who could help her to be free, so that we could go ba
