Hot Nights With An Incubus

CHAPTER 4

Juval had his arms crossed while boringly looking at the two ignorant mortals in front of him.

The woman looked smart but he can now see that looks could be deceiving as the two, one who was wearing a priest like clothing--he can tell because in every year and age, they always look the same, then the second, the woman from earlier, both chanting on what seems to be a prayer in front of his mirror.

Yes he's a devil. But prayers don't work like that on the likes of them.

Isa pa, protektado ang salamin ng sumpa ni Ninya mula sa kahit na anong bagay na maaaring makapanakit sa kanya. Walang kahit na anong tatalab sa kanya galing sa labas, katulad na lang ng kung paano walang tatalab na galing sa kanya sa labas.

He was waiting for her to come back, even excited, and he was surprised to see her pull a stunt like this. He guess people still believe in this things despite on how advance the future gets.

"Is it done Father? Do you think whatever element that seems to house in this mirror, if there is any, already find peace and let go of their attachments?" tanong ng babae.

"I'm very much still here woman." sagot niya kahit alam naman niyang hindi siya maririnig nito. Naka adapt siya agad sa lengguaheng ginagamit ng babae at ng kausap nito at masasabi niyang marami mang pinagka iba sa dating salita ay madali pa din para sa kanyang intindihin iyon.

Wait, did she just think that the mirror is possessed?

Para maisip nito iyon, ibig sabihin ba ay naramdaman nito ang presensya niya sa ganun kaikling panahon?

He snicker. Lalong lumakas ang pakiramdam niya na ito na talaga ang babaeng hinihintay na magpapalaya sa kanya.

"Well do you still feel the prick in the back of your head?" tanong ng matanda.

"There's nothing anymore actually, since we get inside the house I'm starting to think it's just
my paranoia. It's embarrassing how I even pull you out of your busy schedule Father Joseph." saad ng babae at napangiwi.

Naalis ang ngiti sa labi niya sa sinabi nito. Ibig sabihin ay hindi na siya nararamdaman nito o hindi talaga siya naramdaman nito kahit kailan? Na dala lang umano ng paranoia dahil marahil may isang lumang gamit na biglang napunta sa poder nito.

Nasapo niya ang sentido. He thought she had catch his presence which is a very good news to him dahil ibig sabihin ay tumatagos dito ang kapangyarihan niya na kahit kailan ay hindi nangyari kahit kanino.

"Oh don't be child, I know you since you were young and since your parents aren't here, you can always run to me whenever you're in need of any assistance Alesana." sagot ng matanda.

Alesana...so that's her name.

Well it sounds good to the ears.

Hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling mapako ang tingin sa babae habang patuloy na nakikipag usap ito sa matandang kasama. She looks so much like Ninya but at the same time far opposite of her.

Mayroon siyang pakiramdam na gustong sigawan ito at ilabas lahat ng kinikimkim na galit pero alam niyang hindi ito ang babaeng labis labis niyang kinamimuhian.  Habang sa kabilang banda din ay hindi niya mapigilan na ma attract sa physical na anyo nito kahit na sukdulan ang galit niya sa taong nagmamay ari ng kaparehong mukha nito.

Oh his mind is playing tricks with him.

Ipinasya niyang tigilan na ang panunuod sa dalawa at bumalik sa kadilimang bahagi ng salamin. He can't be starting to find her attractive, he's here for revenge.

Whether this woman is Ninya in another life or one of her lineage he don't care. This woman will receive tenfold of what suffering he felt all those millennium.
