Lucifer

1

I almost lose my conscious, kung hindi lang siya lumayo.

"What am I doing in here?"

"Explain to him Ascian," dahil sa sinabi ni Lucifer ay hinarap ko si Morrigan.

Mukha naman siyang balisa at hindi alam ang gagawin. Palipat lipat ang tingin niya sa akin at kay Lucifer.

"Uh-h, you w-will stay here until you regained your strength and conscious?" eh? Muntik na akong mapatampal sa noo.

"You really has no use," ani ni Lucifer "Fetch the dead."

Ascian stand up straight, nilagay niya ang kanay sa kilay bilang isang simbolo ng pag alis. A black oval portal appeared on his back as his tuxedo turns into a black hood. He looks like a red ridding hood but he has black hood not red.

Natabunan ng hood ang mukha, hanggang talampakan ito gayong hindi ko makita ang saplot sa loob niya. A scythe appeared beside him, hinahawakan niya ito at agad na pumasok sa portal at agad na nawala ito.

My mouth drop open. What. The. Hell? Kumurap ako ng ilang ulit kong totoo nga ba ang nakikita ko.

"Am I-I seeing th-things?"

Prente itong naupo sa pang isahang upuan. Pinitik niya ang diliri at ulit na lumabas ang isang itim na portal.

"What was what?"

"Onyx," he simply said.

"Where is that thing came from?" medyo nataranta kong wika. This is impossible.

"It's our ability, once you enter there it will take you wherever you go," simple niyang wika na para bang normal nalang iyon sakanya.

"What are you?" my voice shaken as I look at him.

"A devil?" kibit balikat niya "Morrigan is the grim reaper, he fetch dead people who's heart are black."

"Devil? Dead people? Black heart?" Am I dreaming?

Napahilot ito sa sintido na animoy nahihirapan na. He doesn't look like a devil to me, he looks like a model in those billboards.

"Once Morrigan, came back he will be the one that explains you all of this."

He finalize our talk and proceed upstairs. Naupo ako sa couch. I think my mind is about to explode. Am I in a TV show? Nilibot ko ang tingin para hanapin ang camera.

I'm sure by now I look like an idiot.

Later on. Nasa sala padin ako at tulala. I gasped on my seat when an onyx again appeared and Morrigan came out on there.

He snap his hand and now his back to his black tuxedo. He snap again and a box of pizza appeared on his hand.

"I bought you pizza!" now he seems so friendly than earlier.

I didn't answer and just look at him. He waved his hand in front of my face.

"Are you okay?"

"Seeing all those....," nahihirapan akong sabihin dahil wala akong maintindihan "Things, then you're asking me if I'am okay?"

He tsk. He put the pizza on the table and sit in front of me. He snap again his finger and a brown old book appeared on the table.

"Read it, everything you're asking for is in there," tinulak niya ito paharap sa akin.

Pinaharap ko sa akin ang libro para mabasa ang katagang nasa harap nito. The devil's book..

"Pizza?"

I look at him and then at the pizza "You don't put poison in there?"

He chuckled at my remark "I fetch dead people but I don't kill them."

I accept the pizza as I felt my stomach grumbles. Pagkatapos non ay umakyat ako sa taas dala ang devil's book. Nilagay ko iyon sa kama at doon binasa.

I read halft of it but it feels like my mind is about to explode.

There are three heart in human body. The white orb or white heart means you're alive but in god's property. The black heart that Lucifer mentioned earlier is the sinner people who's his property.

We will just know the color of our heart if we are in the verge of death.

The last heart is the mist heart. It has a mixture of violet, blue and black like the outer space. It says here that the person with a mist heart was not determine if they are alive or dead. One person has this heart and this is once only in a blue moon to appear.

The next page contains the information about Lucifer. It's not just his name but his stand in this world too.

He is the devil or satan. But he doesn't look like satan. He doesn't have a horn on the head and his skin is not red like those I've read in a book.

Even in the shower, nakatulala padin ako. Hindi ko natapos basahin sapagkat pakiramdam ko ay hindi ko na makakaya ang sunod na andon.

Nagpasalamat ako ng pagbukas ko ng aparador ay may gamit na dito pambabae. My cheeks heat up remembering that I'am the only girl here so.... I think they are the one who bought my stuffs.

"Did Lucifer, already found the person with a mist heart?" yan agad ang bungad na tanong ko kay Morrigan.

"Yup," he said popping the "p"

"Where is he? She?"

"You," tinuro niya ako "That's why you're here."

Napailing ako. Ilang ulit na akong naglalakad pabalik balik habang hawak ang sintido.

"What will he do to me?"

Sinandal niya ang likod sa backrest ng sofa. Pinagkrus niya ang paa at ang kamay ss harap ng dibdib.

"As of that, I can't tell you."

What? So I will remain clueless here? The book he gave me hasn't have all the information. Damn him.

"Where are my parents?"

"You don't remember after the incident yet, it might trigger your brain and it's hard for you to remember."

I went upstairs to my room after Ascian and I talked. I don't think I can fish information from him.

Humiga ako sa kama at niyakap ng mahigpit ang unan. Ilang ulit kong pinisil ang braso wishing this is all a dream.

I want to go back to my life before.

Sa huling pisil ko ng braso ay naramdaman ko ang hapdi dito. Napaiyak nalang ako sa katotohanang totoo nga lahat ng ito.

I want my life back then.
