All Chapters of The Bedevilled Soul: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Live had been what we call a living hell for all of us at Talot, like walking straight towards the gates of the underworld. More of the villagers had turned into the septics, making the rest of us that were saved and not turned really few, as if a tiny drop in an ocean. We'd had to protect the inner walls from corrupting with the outsiders. At one point I accepted others from other kingdom to dwell in with us, for protection and provision of shelter and food. I'd done that with a pure heart without any hint of doubt or regret. Now, with the rate of which other corrupted people had filled Talot, it was slowly starting to become close to unbearable. Scarcity of food had hit us harder than a solid rock. The only source of meat we had left after the keepers took all from us, was just the people from Tobin's place. Ever since they'd dared cross their boundary with me, and lost Tobin to me, they'd done nothing but made the kingdom a pain in the ass. They said I will not bow to them. Haha!

"Four weeks after, and we still haven't found the cure." Tobin complained as he angrily bit the piece of apple he had in his hand. He always had what is it that you call it, uh, anger issues. But wasn't he right after all? The septic were still septic. No changes at all. "Well, luckily, after more than eighteen patients being tested and revived on, we're all still save and healthy." Peter went on to add, even after he knew it would only upset Amelia over here. Without even noticing, I suddenly found myself, shaking shoulder to shoulder, creepily muting my voice from exploding further as I chuckled first, then started grinding from ear to ear before finally bursting out in laughter. On a normal term, Peter's statement or dry joke if you ask me, wasn't even supposed to have provoked a bit of laughter in me. But could you have blamed me? 

"So, you killed the god?""Shall we get over to the next place? The whole point of the mission gave me a headache. A painful headache that you have no idea how to get rid of, you can't cut your head off just because you wanted to cure your headache! Although I wished I could just fill that, only if I wouldn't die.You know that feeling, when wish you could just stop something but you dare not stop. You see, there's a certain level of tiredness that equates to insanity; for me it was when I'd like to temporarily dislocate my spirit from my body, as if I could ask the universe to take me out for just a short while, let mysoul go wherever souls go to be. I'm a fairlybrave person, I am, but sometimes I just didn't wanted to feel the process of recovery all over again. I knew I had to wake up feeling okay in the morning. I would, but it was simply a level of worn-out-ness that hurts. But I knew I wasn't tired physically. It was the mind a

  ****  Sending final goodbyes to Ragnila after persuading her to run for her dear life I trotted down the devil's den. Again. Unlike the last time, creeping back here only sent a chill down my spine. This time I was scared. What if something bad had happened to her. I could never forgive myself. Fenrel really had no heart. He was more cold than an ice. He killed for fun,destroys lives mainly because he could. I was starting to know him better now. If only I had known more from the beginning. He was already waiting for me at the entrance, smiling mischievously. The last time I didn't have any plan. Now, there was just one goal. To kill him!Spreading his arms widely as one does to greet one's beloved."Welcome back my dear Kerik" he teased,coming closer to me.He really wanted to die." Where's she? "

   Tell me if a person falls apart alone in the dark,does it make any sound? And let's say it does,is it as loud and devastating as a decaying broken heart when it's finally found? Or is the sound a soft strangulation hidden that we all miss the time behind words like 'I'm fine'?Nila had mention earlier that Tara's necklace just fell on the floor and she didn't wanted to return it yet because she was afraid of how I'd react."I found it, and I knew I should have rightfully returned it but.. I'm sorry Kerik. You just weren't in a stabilized form to have received it yet"Maybe she was right after all. Tara meant the whole world to me and she still does. My only motivation for living. Imagine if your most precious possession; your mother,father,sibling,best friend or even your dog disappeared in your presence,and you. You felt the most he
