Chapter 39 - 4.5 : TIME'S TICKING!

"Do you seriously believe anyone would listen to you, and side with you? Only someone's who's lost all sense of processing skills of their brain would choose to believe your words. You say that he's just your partner, and yet, you refuse to let go of him!"

"That's because he's my partner! I refuse to go behind his back and choose someone to replace him. We both have mutual trust and respect towards each other! And I'll make sure to hold up to that to the end, whatever the outcome maybe."

"Alright then, let me ask you this. How can you guarantee that he would do the same to you? What if, just what if, he feels that he's not worthy of standing by your side, and on one fine day, he comes across an individual who can take over his place be of more use to you, more than he ever could or would? Then what?"

"Irrespective of whoever or whatever choose to come between us, I shall clear the path that prevents us from being together. Even if it's the will of the world or the fate that binds this universe. If he feels in such a manner as you've described yourself, then I shall make sure that he'll hear me out."

"Pfft! It's useless to throw a rebuttal against a moron who doesn't understand how flawed her thinking is. You'll only lead your lives to despair and misery."

"Is it because you're afraid to be locked up again, that you're throwing such a tantrum now?"

"Excuse me, beg your pardon!" Even though we were speaking with a high-pitch, questioning and throwing wild accusations at each other, what this girl just said now was unacceptable! If provoking me was her end goal, then good for her, she has succeeded in doing so. But now, she's invited hell over to her home!

"You're the spirit from that ornament he has on his arm, aren't you? It took me a good while for me to figure out who you were. But now that I did, it all makes sense. Why you would go so far for him, and why you would seek to break him away from me, even if it means forcefully taking him away from me? It's all irrelevant now since I can see the answer with my very own eyes."

"And what if I am a spirit? I don't know what did you even understand taking a look at me, or what weird delusions you have towards me but..." That's right. You can pretend to know me all you want but at the end of the day, no one will ever come close to understanding me. Not even me.

"You're afraid, aren't you?" She questioned with a questionable yet determined look, even if it meant that she could be hurt in the process. I couldn't understand what was the source of her confidence, courage, and arrogance but she was someone I couldn't avoid. Sadly, that's the kind of relationship we share.

I sighed and looked atop, towards the eerie sky filled with a black mist.

Are you happy now, you old hag? Isn't this what you wanted to see someday down the line? I hope you are since they are taking the piss out of me now. How many years has it been, I wonder?

"Afraid, me? Why would I be afraid of something, and even if it were the case, what would that certain something be?" Come on, show me. Show me who you actually are.

"You're afraid of the darkness, aren't you?" I knew it. It was no coincidence that I was meeting her. Is this one of your tricks? Or is this really fate, that has intertwined our paths?... Whatever it is, I have my own reasons to challenge her views and opinions, and I shall stick by it. I can't go back now. Not there again.

"And how did you arrive at that conclusion?"

"I don't really know myself. But I felt a strong feeling that it might be the one. From what I remember, you're a cursed tool. That means you were locked up in that form for millennials. In that hole, all alone, surrounded by nothing for darkness, and now, you're out there. But only to discover that you might find yourself back in that space soon enough if he were to die."

"Quite the theory but you don't have a solid proof of any sort to back this up, do you?" I think this is how the kid rebutted her points. I did keep a close eye on both of them, and from what she has deduced, she wasn't far off the mark.

Both were very sharp individuals, both with very contrasting personalities. While this girl was definitely the alluring kind, that boy on the other hand was the kind to avoid at all points of time.

"Well, it's not like I have to prove my point to you. I'm just saying what I believe to be, and how I have to approach the situation. It's not like I intend to please you by any means."

"I'm happy that you have some self-awareness."

"More importantly, how's he faring up? Your master, I mean." She asked me in a sarcastic tone. It seems that once she has figured out what kind of person I am, she just let her guard down. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing but whatever.

"He's not my master! He's just someone who's clearly not worthy of my powers whatsoever."

"And that's why you've offered me yourself. So that not only would you sever your ties with you, but you would also be promised with a more prolonged life than he could ever offer you."

"That's not the only reason! Right now, as we speak...Argh!" Did I just collapse? What was that? What's going on? I don't know. But it looks like I'm running out of time.

"Listen little one...you must...at all cost..."

KILL HIM!
