40 The Way to Freedom

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

    KailaAlicia and I went towards the benches covered with the shade of tall trees. Those boys could see me, but I knew that they could not see Alicia because she was already a spirit. I wasn't totally afraid of what those boys could do to me, because Alicia could make them disappear in just a second after flipping her fingers at them.One of the boys pointed his finger at me, then I heard him say, "Buds, look at the girl; she looked beautiful and rich." Though we were far from them, I could already hear their voices, which seemed to be fighting, and they were doing that because of me.The boy who wasn't wearing a shirt replied, "She's really beautiful. I want to taste her." However, I didn't care if he had a good body or if he was excels in bed because I wasn't a donut to let him taste me. What I did care about was that he might meet my boyfriend, Mr. Death.Another boy warned, "She's already mine, so don't attempt to touch her."What kind of boys were they? I wasn't a food item for th

    Thereafter, sweat began diffusing around his body and mine also. I'm sure it turned red after how many times he had punched my face. I could not even hit him because he was avoiding every punch I threw at him.I never expected that would happen. There was nothing I could do right there but accept that I was defeated by that boy. Until something entered to my mind, maybe I could use it to see his next moves and not be hit by his strong punches. The power of my vision. So I focus my attention on it, telling my eyes to show me the next move of that boy.Alicia was right, that if someone believed he could, everything around him would conspire to help him achieve something. I foresaw what would happen next. I would be defeated by that boy, and it showed me his moves, so it came to my mind to defend all his movements so that he could not defeat me that time. It was so nice that I could change what would happen in my future through my powerful vision. I would never make any wrong decisions a

    I could see nothing but darkness. Everywhere I'd look, there was nothingness waiting. I was in a place of emptiness. I didn't know how I got into that kind of place. What I only remember was that I was fighting with the rocks man and I slipped off consciousness because of the rocks that he threw at me. I didn't know how to go back to the real world.My world suddenly tottered. I used all my power to stop the earthquake, but it was so strong that it wanted to destroy my whole world. There was someone destroying my world, the world of emptiness where I could do whatever I want, because I have freedom here. When I opened my eyes, I saw Alicia looking at me."Oh! Alice, what happened to the rocks man?" I asked."Good job, Kaila!" Alice exclaimed. "Your mission to that man has already been completed; you killed him. I'm sorry because I did not help you in killing him, but you still proved that you are powerful.""That's nothing. I know that you are still helping me to search for those peop

    Alicia was laughing when she appeared beside me. She was laughing because of what she saw. Maybe she was laughing because I had gotten some wounds from the enemies. Maybe she was laughing because even though I got some wounds, I was still breathing. Definitely, she was laughing because the two people who were destined to fight me were already dead.As usual, she would offer their spirits to her master. After that, the bodies of the two suddenly disappeared from the spot where they were lying. Then Alicia invited me to go to a bar and stop killing people for a while, just to relax and drink some wine. Of course, I didn't go with her, because she would only waste time and cause some trouble there instead of doing the job that she needed to finish.Alicia took me to the other location, where the fourteenth person. She brought me to a very far place. I know that it was far because it took us seconds to reach the place, though we were teleporting.It seems that the fourteenth person's powe

    After Alicia offered the spirit of the cat woman to her master, she told me something about the twelfth person that was destined to fight me. She told me that the next person that I needed to kill was a woman who had the power of a comb. My adversaries wield power from simple objects such as combs.Then Alicia brought me to the place where the twelfth person lives. She brought me to a very faraway place, a place where many people live, many huge houses stand, old structures are erected, and tall buildings stand against the unblemished sky. It was already morning in this place, and the sun had just shown up in the sky. The sounds of roasters could be heard, and the streets started to become crowded when the transportation came on."Alicia, do you have a plan to tell me where the twelfth person that I need to kill right now?" I said."She was just living there." Alicia pointed her fingers at the big house ahead. It seemed that the twelfth person is wealthy, because she lives in a mansio

    KailaThe whole place was dark and the moon was the only source of light, because there was no electricity in this place. I didn't know if where we would go next, but I was sure that the time there was different from the time here. It felt different to be strolling in the world by using teleportation, because it seemed that my world was spinning around and making me dizzy.Eventually, after a few moments of waiting, Alicia went out from the house of the voice woman. She looked like the same and her hair was not spreading around her shoulder anymore. She learned to tied it because I told her that she looked like old Alicia if her hairs was spreading. She was not just old Alicia, but an ugly hag.I was the definition of a tireless girl. Until then, I had not gotten any information that told the truth about myself. It sounded weird, but I was a girl who did not know myself. I didn't know what kind of girl I was or why I had some kind of power that normal humans didn't had. Maybe I would

    I knew that I didn't owe any favor to Alicia because it was all her mistake why I was fighting. I already learned my lessons, and that thing was just a part of the puzzle. What I should do was to make myself busy in the things that I needed to do. After a few moments of waiting, Alicia was already done in offering the spirit to her master."We're done what we needed to do in this place, so let's go to the next?" I asked."Don't be hasty Kaila, because the tenth person that you needed to kill is not just an ordinary person and there is a big possibility that you cannot defeat that person," Alice said, worriedly."What do you mean?" I asked. "Can't you just tell me who is that person that I needed to kill? So that we cannot waste our time in just standing here?""That person is a woman who has a beautiful voice. Hold my hand and I will bring you to the place where she is living."I held Alicia's hand and we suddenly appeared in the other place."The next person is a woman who has a beau

    Kaila"The next person lives here. He's also a boy, but who has the power of ball. He can change his appearance into a thick, hard and big balls and he will roll down to you. You must be on focus, because he's so fast when he's rolling, and if you cannot avoid him, you will definitely breath your last. So always be on focus," Alice advised."Don't worry about me Alice, I can kill him even he will change himself into a rock, just go to the next person and you don't need to tell if you will go somewhere," I replied."If that what you wanted, I believed that you can kill him in a short period of time, the same with what you did to other people. Hence, I better go now and leave that boy to you, see you here later.""Wait! Don't you have a plan to tell where's that boy now?" I asked."The boy that was destined to fight you is in the plaza, you know he is playing with ball, though he can even play to himself because he can change himself into a ball, haha," Alice replied."Do you mean in th

    There were some people passing by and beside us using the winding stairs and going to the other rooms. Good to know they did not noticed me and Cain to be looked weird. They might think that we were just a ordinary people who rent in here. As I know that this building was not open for public. This place was so quiet, there was not even a little sound except those footsteps made by the people who was walking around.I and Cain were just standing here, doing nothing, sometimes glancing at each other and watching to the door of the room where the sun man was. As we didn't want him to elude from us, else we need to search for him again. It seemed that there was someone with him inside the room, for he was sometimes talking with a woman. It was a little weird, but not just that, we sometimes heard their loud, moaning voices. I noticed that Cain was a little bit foolish, for he seemed to listen them."Hey, what are you seemed to cling on that wall?" I asked.The place was filled of silence

    LilWe appeared several feet at a room with green-painted door and yellow curtains hanging inside the windows that are made of glass. It seemed to be my first time having a fight in this kind of place if it happen that the sun man would fight me. Definitely, he have two choices, which were to die or to die hard. A man like him, I knew that he will choose to die hard than to die without fighting at all. If there was someone who would ask me to choose between the two; certainly, I'd die hard, I better die while fighting than dying without fighting."Are you sure that the sun man is here?" Cain asked curiously."Uh-huh, why you are asking me that?" I asked back."If you are really sure that he is here, how did you know that?""If I tell you, there is nothing for you to discover," I replied."I am old in discovering things, why won't you just tell me?""Why won't you just open that door?" I tried changed the topic."If you don't want to tell me, then that is just okay, but let me tell you

    After killing the lady, Alicia appeared with her devilish smile, seeing the fat woman lying down the floor. As what she always did in this occasion, she offered the spirit to her master, then the lady disappeared as Alicia's master accepted the offer.Alicia stood up and I already knew what she wanted to say, that was to ask me if I'm ready to take the next challenge. Well, she didn't need to ask me about it, because I'm always ready.It was already evening when Alicia brought me to the place where the eighth person could be found. The crescent moon gradually appeared in the starry sky. The houses lit around us, then I remembered when I was still in my mansion.I was always looking at the moon which looked like thin wafer of pale lemon, and also at the thick shadows that represent the stables and everything else. In the place of eight person I saw a different view of the moon, it was a white in color with some black stained on it.I became so accustomed of the changing climate, becaus
