Chereads / Running from Lucifer / Chapter 13 - Too boring

Chapter 13 - Too boring

Standing in front of the theater, Nina breathed out. Two years has passed since Nina lost her heart for Hernia. She had become an actress in the theater and had became close with other humans.

She was a human now and she somehow enjoyed their companies. The only person she missed was Talon. She didn't know if she should cry. It's been two years but she still haven't recover from the death of him.

Nina quickly entered the theater with her script for today. The play she would be acting was a fantasy one. She would be a Witcher revenging her death. She wondered how the humans would react when they found one in real life.

After she was done for the day, she went home humming a sweet melody.

Hannah was already home making dinner.

"You're home already." Hannah helped Nina in removing her jacket.

"Such a long day in the theater." Nina breathed out.

"Go change while I set the table for dinner." Hannah said.

Nina nodded before she walked to her room. She pulled her clothes and slid inside a black nightgown.

Walking inside the bathroom, Nina stared at the large mirror that was fixed in the wall. She held each side of the sink with her hands. Turning the tap, she splashed water on her face. She was about to pull up tissue when wind blew passed her.

Nina was not stupid not to know that the windows were not opened. A blast of wind shook inside the bathroom like a tornado, knocking off Nina to the ground.

Nina turned to face the cause of the wind.

Standing at the entrance of the bathroom with a burning rage was Hernia. Her pale skin, black eyes and long white hair gave her a monstrous vibe.

Hernia stared at Nina with ferocious eyes not daring to take a step forward. All of a sudden the bathroom turned into a dark void. Hernia opened her palms as huge red blast round symbol formed on top of it like round ball. It was getting bigger with each passing second.

In a blink of an eye, she was inches away from Nina while staring at her hard.

All Nina could do was stare as she was growing afraid. She was no longer a demon and Hernia could kill her within seconds.

"You!" Hernia said in a fierce voice. "You dared to take everyone's life. Do you really think you would be able to escape from my wrath?"

She released one of the burning balls towards Nina but she was lucky to dodge it. But it burned some part of her ear.

"Ouch!" Nina touched her already burned skin.

"You were supposed to kill Lucifer but you changed the plan. You killed everyone and destroyed everything!" Hernia said.

Nina knew Hernia was stronger now. Why wouldn't she be stronger? She had both a normal demon powers and that of a supreme. Part of Nina wanted to kill Hernia and rip her heart out but that would never happen now that she's a human.

"What do you want now?" Nina asked while being cautious. She looked around the place. Everywhere was dark and she wondered how Hernia managed to take them here.

"To continue what we started." Her eyes were still bleeding black.

"What you started." Nina spat. "Do you really think you can put me in a fight I didn't start?"

"And do you think I couldn't kill you when you passed out in front of your parents? I had the powers to kill you but no I didn't kill you because I had plans for you." She laughed at the end.

Only the mention of her parents, Nina was already burning with rage. "You killed my parents because of your stupid plan to kill Lucifer. And you think I will be able to kill him?"

"I do not want to be part of your stupid plans."

"Lucifer should be dead. I would have been more happier if I was the one killing him but sadly not me which is why I'm here." She took a step forward.

"You will be the one to kill Lucifer, that is my revenge on you. I don't care if you die along the way but Lucifer must die." Her eyes grew wide.

"And if I say no?" Nina took a step backwards.

"Your heart." Hernia opened her palm and the black heart appeared on top of it. "There are many ways I can torture you to make you go. Don't forget I'm still your Mistress. I control every part of you now."

"I am not going to kill Lucifer. If he did something bad to you then fight with him yourself. Moreover you already have my powers so go."

"You think if I could claim your powers to be mine I would be here with you? The powers of a supreme demon can only be controlled by the person."

"You cannot force me to go on a fight with him."

"Then let's see how far you go." Hernia squeezed the heart a little bit and Nina began to feel something burning in her chest.

"AHH!" Nina screamed dropping to the ground and rolling. No matter how much she tried, the fire in her chest continued to burn more and hurt her chest badly.

Nina screamed and screamed as the fire grew so hot. But she was not ready to fight with Lucifer, not alone. If Talon was alive and going to fight with him then she would have agreed. But considering the last time she suffered in Lucifer's wrath she was not ready to fight with him.

He could kill her in a matter of seconds. But Hernia didn't care if Nina died in the way. All she wanted was revenge. And if by any means, Nina successfully killed Lucifer, Hernia also planned to kill her.

"Torturing you is too boring." Hernia smirked before snapping her finger and Hannah appeared.

When Nina raised her head and saw Hannah in Hernia's arm, she tried to run to her but something hard pushed her back.
