"Master, a man has been standing in front of the gate for an hour waiting for you. The man says it's important."
One of Mr Selfish brat spoke, making us turn in his direction as we walked to the white jet that was in the landing space. Cutting me out of my drool over the beautiful jet.
"Bring him in."
The prince orders the guard and dismisses the man at once getting the man. Isn't he in a hurry or does the man seem to be this important to him?
We entered the jet and I sat next to him with my hands tied. I lay my head back on cushy, comfortable, leather recliner seats that are modular. I can take a nap before we reach the destination. But I want to view the beautiful landscape through the window, at least I can enjoy my ride to hell. I always love to travel but not like this one. With my hands tied. I didn't mean not in a jet. Hhhh who wouldn't love to fly leisurely? But I've never imagined I would one day. Yeye always says it's safer to stay at home away from people. So it became my hobby to browse for tour sites to see the beautiful view, hoping to come some-.
"Here he is."
The guard spoke bringing me back from my thoughts together with him was the man he spoke about, his head is in a bag. And when he yank the bag from him only to reveal a familiar face for me to see. Luiz! How was this possible? Why is he here? Was he captured too? Why would he come here, stupid?
I automatically jump on him hugging, I miss him so much. I thought I would never ever see him again.
"Please don't hurt him."
I begged the prince and he send a murderous glare at me. And one of the guards sat me down on the couch and cover my mouth with his palm.
"What's the urgent news?"
The prince asked curiously.
"Your majesty the Vitalians are aware of your new dwelling and can come here anytime soon."
Luiz said bowing his head in respect. Doing as if I never exit. Your Majesty?? My a**. what's up with him?
"Don't worry about that I've cast a boundary and none of them can break it."
He bowed, nodding his head. Is Luiz possessed like how Mimi was? Why's he bowing to this bastard?
"Your face is new here, when were you possessed?"
The Demon Prince asked looking at him up and down scanning him.
"Just recently."
Luiz answered and my heart begin to pound, oh no, dear lord not Luiz too.
"Who sent you?"
The prince asked, feeling something odd about him.
"Here's the gift he brought to you master."
One of the guards showed the wrapped box.
"Open it."
The guard open it and Mimi hops out of the box and into my lap.
"Vitalians."
Then the demon prince said finally realizing Luiz was not possess at all it is just a trap.
"It's a message from the Vitalians."
The guard with the bald head spoke confirming to the prince. He squeeze Luiz shoulder and hit his legs making him kneel on the floor and about to squeeze his neck and kill him. I was struggling on my couch, trying to get free and save Luiz.
"Let him live."
The prince ordered, stopping the man from squeezing Luiz's head and he continue.
"He can be of use.
to us."
***
We sat opposite each other with Luiz. the prince taking the other seat lying back and fast asleep.
"Why did you come for me?"
I finally got a chance to whisper to Luiz as I saw the prince sleeping. We've only exchanged glances in silence.
"Thank you for saving me, Luiz."
Luiz said sarcastically, making me roll my eyes. Seriously, this man has time for jokes.
"I'm serious, this man is too dangerous."
I warned him, my eyes tearing up.
"What'd he do to you?"
He said in a soft voice concerned about me.
"He, he... it's a long story, thank God I'm alive now.
I stammered, blinking back my tears. I suggest not to tell him, it'll only make me worried.
"It's easier to cope with one death than two, spare Aunt Wani the grieve, would you?"
I tried to joke around to forget the memory of last night.
"That's why we're here, nobody's dying we're here to save you."
Luiz confidently says like in a movie where the hero saves his damsel in distress, I roll my eyes at him, who are we? Is he referring to Mimi who's sleeping on my lap?
"We?"
I furrow my brows. What is he saying?
"Me and the djinn inside her."
Luiz said, pointing at Mimi that was resting peacefully on my lap with his index finger and my mouth dropped.
"Djinn? What djinn?"
I asked him, totally confused. What did mean? My Mimi is possesed again?
"Don't say you forgot about me already?"
The Mimi on my leg responded. And gasped throwing her off my lap and holding my leaping chest trying to calm down. Catching heavy breaths. She talks. She talks.
"You'll hurt your cat, not me"
Mimi or the thing in Mimi spoke again, I swear I saw her glare at me, she's creeping me out.
"She talked again, this is not just me. You heard her RIGHT?"
I asked Luiz, who was suppressing his laugh. I glared at him. How can he laugh at me in this situation? The cat just talks, she freaking talks!
"Yes she talks, how'd you think I found out you were here."
Luiz said, chuckling at me frecked out self.
"And you believe her?"
I asked, and the cat rolled her eyes at me. I ignored her, giving Luiz an are you out of your mind face.
"Waalaa ... You are sitting right next to me, yes I believed her"
He picked the cat, patting her head. That's not my Mimi starting to get annoyed at me.
"I ... I"
I stammered and closed my lips not knowing what to say, I feel safe now that he's here, I just don't want to lose him too. Again.
"I didn't at first, but when I saw the cat sitting next to me talking. I freaked out"
He chuckled letting out his dimple cheek. I feel bad, I didn't even thank him for putting his life at risk because of me.
"But after I checked your room and found it empty, I had no other choice but to believed her. And did what she asked me in order to find you."
Luiz continued letting out a sigh in relieve.
I felt thankful to God and prayed to go back in one piece.
"You are one stubborn girl, you have trust issues, Nyla. You didn't listen to what I have to say to you. I think that's why the demon prince's gem dissolves in you, you are stubborn like the prince."
Mimi recommended.
"How dare you compare me to that devil."
I feel wronged. I only try to protect myself from the monster in the mirror, now she's comparing me with the devil. And yes how can I trust someone that's punishing me"
"I told you I'm not a monster, I'm only a friend, you can't believe it yet, that I came to save you,"
Mimi defends herself, complaining. Did she just read my mind?
"Yes I read your mind, and I can do a lot more than that"
Mimi
"Yeah like, slapping me and trying to take me out of my breath I know that"
I glared at her recalling when she tried killing me in the bathroom, Luiz just looked at us confused.
"What are you both saying?"
We ignored him and continued our banter.
"How can you be so ungrateful? I take you out of the tomb away from the devil the moment he awakens, you think you'll be alive at the moment? He'd remove his missing gem even if it'll kill you."
Mimi was getting annoyed.
"You ... you, but how?"
I asked, amazed I couldn't believe she saved me. She's trying to save me.
"As I did now I possess your cat and get you out of the place."
That's how she knew he'll be after me. But she had a bad way of introducing herself, had she said hello I'm the one that saved you from the tomb, then I'll be eager to listen to her. I mentally rolled my eyes. I'm really grateful she was there.
"Thank you, I ..."
We're landing, kindly adjust your seatbelt, the staff of the jet call cutting me off. The prince that was sleeping woke up and adjusted his seatbelt.
I glanced through the window and behold an amazing sight. This place is breathtaking. I was totally swept away, immersed in her talk, and forgot to sightsee the amazing landscape beneath me. Now when will I know I'll see it again. I promise to ignore all distractions on our way back and have a good time.
