"JUNE, PLEASE can you kindly tell us what's happening right now? Because I still don't get why we boys are here digging up Tanner's grave?" Jasper asks in between pants, as he continues to shovel.
"You think the girls will be safe right? Gina and Rena are there anyway." Max asks as he also continues shoveling, thinking about the three girls especially Rheanne.
"Yeah, they will. Gina and Rena had done so much. I trust them." Yhael says, "But seriously June, can you tell us what's happening."
June halts and looks up to his friends, "Leila contacted me. Just like what happened to Rheanne and Leila back then. She said I should... dig up Tanner's grave."
"Are you sure that it's OUR Leila, though? What if it's just the front but it's actually the devil." Howard says but June shook his head.
"No. I'm sure it's my Leila. I know it's her." And June continues to shovel hard so the boys didn't bother to question it and digs deeper.
The six of them kept digging, and quickly before even anyone sees what they're doing. As they keep digging and when June's shovel hits the ground again, a thud was heard.
This made the boys' eyes widened and immediately wipes off the dirt. And they can now finally see the top of the coffin.
When they finally cleared up everything, they all look at each other as they slowly open the coffin. They are expecting that all that is left from Tanner's body is his bones now since it's already have been more than a month. But they are shocked to see...
Tanner's complete body...
A not-so pale skin color...
Lips in pale pink...
All hair is still there...
And it's just like they are looking at Taehyung who's only been sleeping and does not look dead at all.
+ + +
TANNER is now in the torture room once again. He feels so weak and betrayed. But how can he be betrayed? It's the devil's fault- no, it's his fault.
For him, it's his fault.
The whole time he's only looking at Leila, the girl he had liked for a long time. Yes, he liked her, but there's a "d" at the end of the word for a reason. He did like Leila, but not anymore.
He didn't know how it faded. But within the span of being in the otherworld, he had done a lot of thinking because that's the only entertainment he has aside from sleeping.
He only thought about his friends, how precious they were to him. And he can also see Leila and June being happy together despite him being gone. Surprisingly, he wasn't jealous. He used to be, but not anymore.
You can say he became mature. He wasn't jealous or anything. Instead, he accepted that June has won Leilaa's heart and that both of them are happy. And that's what makes him happy.
He didn't really think about love and all. He only thought and cared for his friends and family and their safety. He wished he could've helped to stop Lucifer from his plans, but he can't. Instead, he hid.
And that's why he's only feeling disappointment in himself. Right now, he could only ask for God's help. He always did and he gotta admit it's taking him so long. He also thought maybe God abandoned him, but remembering what the pastor at Rheanne's church said, he'll trust him in the end.
"So darling, what shall we do with him before going to our Hell Home?" Lucifer says in his deep voice.
Leila looks at Tanner in the eyes, still having the blank face one as he walks slowly towards Tanner, "We shall..."
As she slowly walks forward towards him, Tanner can only beg for her using his eyes to stop and wake up. Hoping that she would see that it's her friend, and he needs help.
Lucifer and Tanner wait for her reply as Leila is now just a feet away from Tanner. Leila looks at him, her face darkening as she says,
"หนี [H̄nī]{meaning: escape]"
"What did you say, darling?" Lucifer asks, completely having no idea what Leila said.
Tanner didn't understand it either, but he felt like he heard that accent coming from Leila as well. And he already knew what language she used, but what did she say?
All of a sudden, a smirk grows on Leila's face. It sent shivers down Tanner's spine and became more confused than he already is.
Leila slowly turns around, making Lucifer the smirk on her face. Even the devil, who is mischievous, is also confused at the blonde's attitude.
Leila then starts saying some words that both the devil and Tanner don't understand. She kept speaking something in her native language, Thai. A language that the two are unfamiliar with.
Lucifer suddenly starts to feel weak, but he's not even realizing it. Both male still did not understand what Leila just said, but it was all clear now when she said,
"Amen."
She had recited a prayer.
Lucifer feels his souls inside him weaken that made him groan in pain and fell to the floor. Leila acts quickly and gets an ax by the table where all the weapons are at and immediately break Tanner's chains and swiftly killing other demons with it.
"Let's go!!" Leila yells as he pulls Tanner up.
Tanner, even in his weak condition, still manage to get up with the help of Leila and run.
"GET THAT B¡TCH AND THAT BA%TARD!" They hear the devil's scream as they ran through the halls.
They then feel the demon minions following them making them run faster.
It only seemed like it was yesterday when Leila and June were running away from that woman. And now she's running with Tanner, away from that demon man.
Leila can remember well the what-seems-like long-but-are-actually-not-in-real-life hallway. They then see the elevator at the distance which urged them to run faster.
faster...
and faster...
Until they got in the elevator and closed the door successfully.
The two catch their breath as the elevator descends to the first floor. Once they did, Leila quickly presses 4 and continues on.
This time, no demons had followed them. It feels weird but they just thought that maybe God is now answering their prayers.
As they reach the fifth floor, Tanner faces Leila as he says, "I-I'm sorry."
With that, Tanner fades. On the way to the first floor, all Leila could do was cry in relief. And as she reaches the first floor, she saw the receptionist and the busy night street outside and she didn't hesitate to run.
Of course without looking back.
The receptionist was probably looking at her like crazy as she ran outside the building and pants. There she cried and cried. She feels so tired but at least,
"It's finished." Leila looks up to the night sky as she mouths a "thank you" to the above.
She didn't know how long she was out there, but long enough for her to see the now-complete boys who had just arrive.
Despite her being tired, she still manages to smile and get up and hugs June tight. And they all happily went up to Jasper's apartment, accompanying the weak Tanner and Leila.
As they arrive at Jasper's unit, the eleven of them all did a group hug as Gina and Rena look at them with a smile.
