Chapter 13 - Episode 11: SUFFERING

Suffering comes in many forms. A passing of a loved one. A disease that slowly kills you. A very big burden that causes you tremendous pain...and many more.

But what causes suffering? The feeling of crushing pain? The occurence of misfortune?

'Jinx agents' are creatures who proclaims to be maintaining the balance of our world. They bring extremely bad luck that then would lead to our suffering.

They usually have wings, to travel quickly from one person to another. They have devilish smirks, and piercing yellow eyes.

Reapers consider them as foes for they make their jobs harder. And even if they can't kill them, they sure could drive them away if powerful enough.

Like the reapers and other entities, they usually are inivisible to the human eye. But even though, they are even more tricky to find even if you, yourself is a spirit. They do this to avoid the attention of the reapers. So spotting them is like spotting a needle in a sack of rice grains.

One jinx however, do not follow the certain rules. Jinko, a powerful jinx believes that having fun is necessary for someone like him. Since he was powerful than most reapers he encounter.

One human though, had quite a pull of attraction on him. Since the day he found out that she could see humans, he never let her out of his sight again.

After Red distanced himself further from Gabby, following her had never been this easy.

He felt obsessed that such human could be gifted to see the creatures from the other side. He wanted to make her his. Take her soul and forever have it with him. As what he did to other lovely maidens he sees as unique.

He would do this actions when she's alone. Tonight, he thought. When she's most vulnerable.

GABBY: I swear to God I could smell something here. Gosh, was it the refrigerator?

...

RED: What is this feeling?

HARRY: Hey man, you okay? You still mad at me?

RED: No, but...I feel like someone's in big trouble.

HARRY: Huh? That makes no sense. Who could it be?

RED: I...I need to do something on my own. Tell Vixen to handle my shifts for me.

HARRY: Oh. Okay. Cool. Just make sure you're not slacking off, alright?

RED: Yeah, yeah.

RED: (Somehow...my body wanted to do something badly on it's own. I feel like I don't do it...I'll regret it later...) What is...wrong with me? Why is my chest pounding like this?
