But when he saw my face, he sighed in relief. "Young lady, ikaw ba ang nagnakaw dito? You shouldn't steal things. Pasalamat ka minor ka, so I'll let this case slide. Don't steal, okay?" Binaba niya ang kaniyang espada, at binalik ito sa sheath.
I held no emotions in my face. Lumapit siya sa'kin but I did not move even an inch. Ah, so he sees me as an innocent child.
He held out his hand, "Tara na bumaba, pero iiwanan natin ang mga dapat mong nakawin, alright?"
I smiled sweetly, at sinuklian naman niya ito. "Ah, I thought mapapalaban pa ako," he said and sighed again.
Kinuha ko ang kamay niya, ngunit ang isang kamay ko'y nasa likuran parin, hawak-hawak ang dagger.
Bahagya akong lumapit sa kaniya and giggled like a very pure child, "Mister, I have to whisper you a secret!"
Nagtaas naman siya ng kilay, pero mukhang natuwa siya sa'kin kung kaya't he crouched to level my height.
He patted my head, at nairita ako sa ginawa niyang iyon. How dare he? His eyes shone in amusement, at pinasadahan ng tingin ang buong katawan ko. Don't tell me he fantasies a minor? Oh gods.
Nilapit ko ang mukha ko sa kaniyang tainga, and I smirked like a devil.
Binaon ko sa kaniyang leeg ang dagger.
Well, I guess I'm a devil.
Blood flowed from my hand, and I'm sure my leather jacket is stained of his blood too. He gasped and I heard him mutter a curse. Really? You'd have a curse as your last word?
I rolled my eyes at tinanggal na ang pagkakabaon ng dagger sa kaniyang leeg. Nagbuntong-hininga ako nang makitang puno ng dugo ang dagger. "Guess I need to wash this off."
Kinuha ko ang trash bag at dahan-dahang bumaba. Well, I do not want to damage my belongings.
Lakas loob kong binuksan ang ilaw, at nakita ang kamay kong kulay dugo na nga. I looked in the mirror, and saw a young girl that looked like a victim. When in truth, she is the preparator.
My black eyes had a glint of red. I smiled, siguro nga this red meant devilishly. This red respresents my darkness. I frowned, but it still looked so pure and innocent.
Lumapit ako sa lababo namin, at hinugasan ang leather jacket at kamay ko. Napansin ko naman ang presensya ng multo sa likod ko.
"Why did you kill him? He was willing to let you go," sabi niya. Pinagpagan ko naman ang basa sa aking kamay, I turned to him and I shrugged, "I told you, to fulfill a promise. Our deal remember?"
"But what does it have to do to send me to the Afterlife?"
I scoffed in disbelief for his question. He does not get my logic!
I was about to answer when I heard the thunders. I also felt a dark energy around, he is here.
The rain started falling, and I saw a man coming inside our house.
Others may not see him, but I do because of my third eye.
His jet black hair is slicked back. His jaws are very sharp, and his nose was narrow. Ang mga mata niya naman ay parang storm, black with a little gray. His lips formed a smirk, and his aura spoke death.
Hindi ito ang unang beses na nakasama ko siya, pero ito ang unang beses na makita ko ang mukha niya.
"Thanatos," wika ko at ngumisi rin.
He scoffed at me, at pinanliitan niya ako ng mata, "Disrespect for the Gods. Alam mo ba kung ano ang maaari mong matanggap na parusa?"
I rolled my eyes, "I don't care. Killing my family is the most painful penalty I can ever receive. Nothing pains me anymore."
He chuckled, at tiningnan ag multo sa tabi ko. Napasulyap ako rito at nakita na nakaluhod siya, almost kissing the floor. "Lord, please send me to the Afterlife!"
Nagsalubong ang kilay ni Thanatos. He snapped, and the ghost suddenly turned to dusts.
"Papunta na siya sa kinabibilangan niya sa Afterlife," wika niya at muling tumingin sa'kin, and then to the attic.
"You killed him," his voice was deep and full of emotions. It sounded like he loathed me.
I pouted and nodded, "He caught me. It's just rightful for him."
"You are only thirteen, Melizabeth!" Sigaw niya sa akin na tila galit na galit, sumabay naman ang kulog at kidlat. "Hindi ka dapat nagpapalamon sa kadiliman ng puso mo. You still have a lot to learn."
Muli na naman akong napairap, "I know. Kaya nga ngayon palang nagsisimula na akong mag-aral kasi nga I still have a lot to learn," paggaya ko sa mga sinabi niya sa'kin.
Nagulat naman ako nang nagteleport siya sa harap ko at sinuntok ang pader na nasa likod.
He looked down on me, since he was very tall and the fact that my height has not developed that much yet.
He closed his eyes in frustration. "Your heart is dark. I can see through your masks."
I smiled a little, "Of course, and I am using this as my strength, Thanatos."
Nagmulat ang mata niya at tiningnan ko naman siya nang mabuti.
"You will be seeing me, a lot of times. Expect that. I'll be a devil in the nights here on Earth, and I'll be an angel by the day."
Huminga ako nang malalim at binalik ang intensidad ng kaniyang titig, "At kapag nakarating ako sa Semideus Island, sa mundo niyong mga diyos at diyosa, ako ang magiging pinakamalakas. I will train to kill Gods by killing mortals first. Nanakawin ko ang kasiyahan niyo."
"No one will expect that I am this dark because after all my eyes speak purity and innocence."
Thanatos gritted his teeth, "Alam mo namang pwede kitang patayin, hindi ba?"
I chuckled, "Pwede pero hindi mo kaya, Thanatos."
"You are attached to me."
