Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 143

In CelestiaLand...

"We're here."
"..."
"You like it?"
"No."
*sigh* "Well, you must be tired from the trip, so let's go home. You'll meet Blackie later."
"... Blackie?"
"Our Master."
"I see."
*woosh*

...

In the house...

*clack*
"Hello! Anyone here?"
"... Looks like it's empty."
"Yeah, you're right. I don't even know how long we've been away, since there's a huge time dilation. For now, I'll take you to your room."
"... I have a room for myself?"
"Yes."
"..."
"Shall we?"
*nod*

...

At Blackie's house...

They've been away for sixteen days. I'm worried sick, but Hexy reassured me that they're fine, because if anything had happened, I would've felt a heavy pain in my chest immediately.

"I should go."
*clack*
"You're ready to leave?"
"Yes."
"Eluma's waiting outside."
*nod*
*clack*
"Morning, sweetheart."
"... Morning."
*kisses her forehead*
"!"
"Where's the cute nickname you gave me the other day?"
"... Reserved for special occasions."
"Mhm? Special occasions, such as..." *leans in*
"?"
*murmur* "When I'll be able to fully taste you?"
*blush*
*chuckle* *kisses her cheek* "Let's go."
"..." *nod*

He's been talking like that ever since that day. It's not like I'm mad or anything, I'm just not used to it.

...

At school...

"Hexy."
"Oh, Blackie! How are you?"
"... Good."
*sigh* "Still worried about them?"
*nod*
"They'll be fine, I promise."
"... The bell is about to ring. We should go inside."

...

After classes...

"Finally, the day is over."
"Those adventures exhausted us."
"Blackie, it's your fault! You came out with this 'Scavenger Hunt' idea."
"It was fun though, right?"
"... Yeah."
"See?"
"Still!"
*sigh* "Stop complaining-"
"Black Akari!"
*turn* *smirk*

Well, look who's here.

"Hello, Yamel. It's been a while. How was your night with Monica?"
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"
"I didn't do anything. Your girlfriend did."
"Your jealousy is unmatchable."
"Hein? Jealousy?"
"Yes! Why else would you do that?! You got your revenge already."
"... You think I got my revenge?"
"If you didn't, then why the damn game?! It traumatized us!"
"Yamel's right. I barely slept after it."
"Same."
"And what's worse, you forced my own sister to scare me!"
"..."

I offered her money to do so. Such a liar.

"... Let's have a small chat in CelestiaLand, shall we?"
"Hell nah!"
"I ain't going there anymore!"
"You have to. Classes are about to start anyways."
"Tsk."

They skipped all the lessons ever since the game.

"See you there."
"Wait-"
*leave*

...

In CelestiaLand...

"We're a little too early."
"For real! Classes don't start until five o'clock."
"Hello."
*turn* "Oh, hey Monica!"
"How are you?"
"I'm fine."
"Why are you here now? There's still some time until the session begins."
"... The director called for me."
"You mean Black Akari?"
*nod*
"Weird. She told us to come as well."
"Maybe she's planning something."
"Like what?"
"I don't know. Maybe another shitty game. You can never know what her fucked-up mind can-"
*kick*
*BAM* "Ouch!"
"Monica!"
"What the hell?!"
"So now, I have a fucked-up mind, huh?"
*gasp*
"Then, let me show you what this mind can do to the trash like you."
*woosh*
*glow*
"AGH!!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
"MY HEAD HURTS SO MUCH!"
"And we're just starting."

One hour later...

*huff huff*
"Blackie, I think it's enough for today."
*nod*
"FOR TODAY?! I'M FUCKIN DONE WITH YOU! YOU'RE JUST A RANDOM BITCH THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO RESPECT OTHERS! YOU THINK YOU'RE POWERFUL, BUT IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THE BLACK MAGIC! YOU'RE NOTHING WITHOUT IT!"
"YOU B-"
"Hexy, stay back."
"BUT-"
"Don't make me repeat myself."
"..."
"So, you're saying that I'm not powerful, even after what you've just witnessed?" *approach*
*gasp* *tremble*
"Look at yourself, trembling whenever I take a step towards you."
"..."
"Let me tell you all something. All I did up until now, was a part of my revenge, and I'm not done with you yet."
"WHAT-"
"Regarding the Black Magic, it's true that it helped me, but that's not the reason behind my powers. I worked day and night to get to where I am now, unlike you, who refuse to perform the simplest tasks."
"..."
"I will give you a taste of your medicine, and this is addressed to all of you, including you, Maria."
*gasp* *gulp*
"Classes are about to start. Clean the blood and get ready."
"..."
"Oh, and one more thing. Yamel."
"... Yes?"
"You said I'm jealous, right?"
"..."
*turn*
"Sweetheart? What is it-"
*grab* *kiss*
"!"
*grip*
*glare* *grit his teeth*
"..."

I'd do anything to lift her right now and take her to a room, just the two of us.

*let go*
*licks his lips* "Sweet."
"..." *turn*
*glare*
"I'll say this one last time. The only feeling I have towards you is hatred. And the only person I desire is Eluma. Keep that in mind."
"..."
"Let's go."
*woosh*
"... I hate her. I hate her. I FUCKIN HATE HER TO DEATH!"
"Monica, we all do, but screaming won't help."
"... We have to make a plan."
"For what?"
"To kill her."
"... WHAT?!"
"YOU'RE CRAZY!"
"It's either this, or she will end us!"
"Monica, you're out of your mind right now. We'll talk once you're calm."
"Trust me, I'm very calm."
"Doesn't seem like it."

I'll kill her. For the sake of this Academy, my family, and everyone, especially Yamel and I.

...

In Blackie's office...

"She's such a bitch."
"True."
"... Blackie."
"Yes?"
"They're here."
"Who?"
"Aster and Scarlet, they're back."
"... WHAT?! HOW DID YOU KNOW?!"
"I just felt their presence. They're in the house-"
"Let's go."
*nod*
*woosh*

...

In the house...

*BANG BANG*
"WOAH! I'M COMING, CALM DOWN!"
*clack*
"Blackie? Hello! How have you been-"
"Where is she?"
"She's-"
"Here."
*glance* *gasp*

Beautiful woman, with golden eyes and shining long scarlet red hair...

"Scarlet?"
*nod* "You must be Blackie."
"Yes! Yes, that's right!"
"I see."

I'm so happy to see her. She seems healthy physically, but drained mentally and emotionally.

*clack*
"Oh, looks like everyone's here-" *glance* *gasp*
"... Scarlet? You're here?!"
"You're Scarlet?!"
"The Red Flame holder?!"
"... And you are?"
"I'm Diane! Don't you remember me?"
"... I do."
"I'm Luka, Blackie's brother."
"And I'm their mother, Eleanor."
*nod*
"Dear, have you eaten?"
"Yes."
"Do you need something to drink?"
"No. I don't want anything."
"What about a snack?"
"Blackie, do you not listen?"
"Hey, watch your words while talking to Master!"
"Diane, it's fine."
"But-"
"Diane."
"..."

Rude and cold, just like me.

"... Aster."
"Hm?"
"Why don't you show Scarlet around?"
"Eh?! But I came back not too long ago!"
"Not my problem."
*sigh* "Let's go, Scarlet."
"You don't need to take me. I can go by myself."
"... And allow someone to touch you again? Never." *holds her arm*
"!"
"Alright-"
"Let go off my hand."
*let go* "My bad."
*sigh* "Let's get going."
"See ya!"
*clack*
"Well, these two get... along, I guess?"
"... They do." *smile*

Aster, I'm counting on you to help her.
