NATALIA
"GIRL, WE CAN HANG clothes in your mouth because you are pouting too much," Haruka said. She was saying those words to me.
"Was July the one who called?" Sofia asked. I nodded. "Then why are you sulking?"
"She said she has a special assignment. She will be gone for a month or more." I rolled over on the bed as the two were busy with their respective phones while sitting on the couch. I am so sad. I stared at my phone, but I didn't tap it. Maybe I'm still waiting for July's follow-up call.
"Oh, yeah? You should have expected that. Your girlfriend is a special agent," Sofia said.
I just snorted.
"She is sad because she will not get good love for a whole month. Once you get wet, you never want to go back dry." Haruka is really testing my patience.
"Then you are the lucky one who will have plenty of sex!" Annoyed, I threw a pillow at her. I failed to hit her. She dodged.
"Really," Haruka teased. "Pia, let's showtime in front of Nat. Let's make her jealous." The bitch smiled foolishly.
"Damn you! Get out!" I yelled at her. The bitch just stared at me.
"Babe, stop it," Sofia scolded her girlfriend. Yes, that Haruka bitch is already Sofia's girlfriend. How did Pia confess and Haruka accept her confession? That's what I don't know yet. "You know, we should go out instead. What do you say?" Sofia suggested.
"Good idea, babe! Shopping, Nat?" Haruka jumped happily.
"Nah... I don't feel like shopping," I said lazily while looking at the photos of July and me in my gallery. "I miss her already."
"How about going to a bar?" Haruka suggested.
"No," I replied, still hesitantly.
"Amusement park?" Sofia asked.
I contemplated. It looks like fun to go to the amusement park. "Hmm... Well, Nah," I declined.
"Come on, Nat. Let's go to the amusement park. Just like old times. I know it'll make you feel better."
"I don't know," I said, still lazily. "My July is so cute in our pictures. I miss her."
"July is still alive, but it looks like Natalia is mourning her," Haruka commented.
"You!" I pointed at her. "You just keep saying nonsense. I'll beat you if you don't shut up."
"Calm down, Nat. You are so hot-headed." Then she leaned over me on the bed and hugged me. "How about Vitamin Sea?" And now the bitch is being sweet.
Sofia and I glanced at each other at what Haruka said.
"What? Did I say inappropriate things again?" Haruka asked as Sofia and I looked at each other.
"Ah babe, did you forget about Natalia's allergy to the sea?" Sofia asked, hesitatingly.
"Oh, of course not." Whew. Sofia is really dependable at any time.
"We're going to an amusement park then," I said.
"Really? Really?" Haruka jumped onto my bed like a child. "Babe, did you hear that? Nat is coming out of this room. And we're going to the amusement park!" She was so happy. Sofia and I were also infected with her joy and smiled at what she said.
"Don't worry, Natie." Haruka smiled foolishly and whispered, "We're going to look for baby girls and baby boys." She even winked.
Tempting offer. "I'm loyal," I whispered back.
"It's just sightseeing. Like window shopping." This woman is really something.
"Fool. We're with your girlfriend, remember."
"No worries. I'll take care of it."
"Hey, you bastards! You're still whispering, but I can hear you!" Sofia shouted at us. Haruka just scratched her neck. Sofia's hearing is strong, so no matter what Haruka does, she can't beat Sofia. "And you, woman!" She pointed to Haruka. "Do what you plan and you'll be like Natalia, who will not have a sexy time for a month!" I smiled at what Sofia said as I looked at Haruka, who was snorting now.
"I'm sorry, babe. I'm just making Nat happy," Haruka replied.
"Reasons! Don't you ever fool me!" Sofia's eyebrow was still raised. Haruka's face was funny. She was like a child caught stealing candy. "And you, cheater!" She turned to me.
I looked at her and then laughed and pointed at myself. "Me?"
"Who else?! When you do some flirting after July, expect me to tell your girlfriend. You two are so impossible." Then she left the room.
Sofia takes jokes seriously sometimes. Well, Haruka is really playful. Good luck with them.
I was just laughing. I really can't flirt with anyone else anymore. I'm loyal to July, and Sofia will report me to her if I do. What are they now? Bff? I can't imagine them being friends. They always clash when they see each other. What changed?
"Take care of your sulking woman, flirty bitch. I'll get dressed first," I shooed Haruka away. She just nodded and came out of my room.
Haruka knew nothing of my condition. How about Sofia? She knows. Sofia can understand my situation because we are both supernatural. Sofia is a vampire. We can't tell Haruka because she might not understand.
I also don't want to spill the truth before Sofia. I'll let her tell Haruka first. After all, she should be the first to tell her about her real identity.
As for the sea, I miss swimming in the wide ocean. I'm always in the pool, and even though the pool here is a bit big, my scales are still looking for salt water. I cannot go far because it's still dangerous. Maybe the kidnappers will come, or worse, Ely.
I just go out so often. It took a lot of persuasion from Dad to get me to leave. Now, because I feel out of place, Dad can do nothing. I also spent a few weeks mumbling to WH and following his orders, so he just had to stop nagging me. But when I go out, I still have no intention of saying goodbye. I'll just tell him when I'm out, but I'll make sure I am with the guards.
I just wore simple jeans and a white v-neck t-shirt and white sneakers. We exited the WH effortlessly, aboard the van with my four guards.
Haruka and Sofia are all lovey-dovey now. They seem to be reconciled. But when I glared at them, they no longer did PDA. Why? Because I'm jealous!
We got to the amusement park without any hassle. I texted Dad first that we arrived before we enjoyed the rides.
As usual, we just let ourselves enjoy the amusement park. Not caring about anything. Just being carefree. To our great delight, we were unaware that there were pairs of eyes watching us in the distance, except for my four guards.

LUIGI
"THAT'S A GOOD PLAN," I replied to my phone caller. "Make sure you can do that now. Okay. Just let me know." Smiling, I cut the line.
Finally! When my people do what I ask them to do, I will be the most powerful supernatural in the world! Take note, not just in the supernatural realm, but also in the human realm.My dream of conquering the world will also come true!
I couldn't help but laugh. "We're about to succeed!" I said loudly to my left-hand assistant, who was just standing next to me.
"I'm glad to hear that, master. The Damian and Manuel will surely be on their knees and beg you for mercy."
I smiled, especially at what she said. "You're right. They'll regret fighting me. They'll be submissive to what I do even if that fucking chosen one, she can't beat me anymore!" I laughed again.
As I reflect on my successful plans, I can't help but reminisce about how I managed to get what I needed for world conquest.
Flashback…
Twenty-two years ago...
After my conversation with Satan, he brought me back to earth. I can't help but smile because he helped me. He was very supportive of me and my plan to take over the world. Well, why not? He said he prefers the world to be chaotic, so he supports me.
This is even crueler, there is no exchange for the information he gave me. I laughed at the thought. I would say Satan is kind. Oops, he's no longer Satan if he's kind. That's ironic."
"Luigi, you just have to get the devil's book, and there you'll know everything you need to know," Satan said as we talked.
"How? Where can I get the Devil's book?" I asked him.
"Don't worry," he said, smiling. "It will come to you on its own."
Tss. Satan is amazing, isn't he? I wondered if the book was flying because it would come to me on purpose. Well, even though it's hard to believe, I have to trust Satan. After all, he did not ask for anything in return. How ironic!
I decided to just walk home. My house is still a bit far, but I like to walk now. It was so dark where Satan dropped me off, but I did not care. Evil people might try to harm me, but I don't care because I can show them the real evil.
Anyway, when I was walking in that part, suddenly someone appeared in front of me. Fuck. I was surprised for a moment.
Why am I scared of seeing this homeless person? Is it because of his aura? The messy hair and dirty clothes. And… shit! His smell! Well, it's undeniable that he was one of the beggars in this part of London's alley.
"Get out of my way," I shoved him as I covered my nose. The fool still smells like shit.
He did not budge. In the extreme darkness of that part, I had to activate my night vision.
"Out of my way, mate. I don't have a quid."
"I don't want your quid. Help me and I'll help you," he replied in a terrifying voice. I don't even know why I was terrified. He must be the one who's afraid of me, right? Is it a man? I am not sure.
"What the fuck are you talking about? I don't have time for this shit. Fuck off!" He didn't even budge. He was really trying my patience.
"Give me your mortality and I'll give you what you need," said the beggar. Is he an addict?
"Bollocks!" I cursed. He is getting on my nerves. "Know what? Here are ten pounds. Bloody leave me alone!" I handed him the money and tried to pass him. But he blocked me again.
"I said, I don't want a quid, mate." His voice is really something. I got goosebumps. "I know you're looking for this." My eyes widened at what he showed. It's the book! The one Satan was talking about. Satan was right. It came on its own, but... is this one of his men?
"Where did you get that, mate?" I asked, but I was looking at the book. Shit! I need that book!
"No questions. Give me what I want and we're through here," he ordered again. Yes, he keeps ordering me earlier too. Who does he think he is? But I turn a blind eye to it for now. What is important is the book.
"What do you want? More money? How much?" I asked.
"I don't need your money, Luigi. I just need you to give me your mortality."
"Bloody hell! How'd you even know my name?" I'm surprised. Is this for real? This is exactly what Satan is saying. That's why he dropped me off here!
"No questions, mate. Just give it to me."
"But... how do you know I'm still half-mortal?" Yes, I am a hybrid vampire. Like Amor, half-human, half-vampire.
"Again. No questions, mate. You need this book. Don't waste my time. I'll count to three. If you're still undecided, then we're done. One..." Fuck him! He even counted on me!
"Yeah. Of course. I'll give my mortality to you. How though?" I asked, but before I could prepare, he injured my hand on my wrist and vice versa.
I lay there for a moment in shock. I don't know why I just go along with what he's doing.
Without saying a word, he clasped our bleeding hands, and for a moment, I saw his eyes turn red. I just don't know if it's just my imagination because it really happened so fast. I did not even see how he cut our hands. I didn't see anything sharp in his hand.
Is he somehow supernatural as well?
Before my question could be answered, he had already handed the book to me. My eyes shone when I saw that it was the book of the devil.
"What's your na---" I would have asked the beggar, but when I raised my head, I didn't see any other creatures in that alley.
It still puzzles me who that man is, but I didn't focus on that anymore. Importantly, I already have the book!
*End of flashback*
The book is stored in a safe and sealed area. No one can see or get that. That book contains all the secrets of how I will succeed in conquering the world.
I am close to achieving success in my twenty-two years of waiting.
My cellphone rang again, and I answered it without hesitation.
"Mission accomplished, master," said my staff on the other line.
"Good! Send your location to Jessa. She will teleport you here to HQ (headquarters)," I ordered and ended the call.
Everything is going as planned! I am very close to achieving success!
