Chapter 19:Escaping from the Game of Damsel in Distress
Never in his life has he ever hoped for light.
He was abandoned by his own country.Throwned away by his own parents and soon was piled with full of trash.
His eyes were red as blood and that's why they called him a "monster" that caused his life to become like this.
He didn't liked his eyes so he almost destroyed them with his own hands by blinding himself.
But someone had stopped him.A boy whose eyes were also red suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"If you don't want your life then give your life to me."
He has never heard such a cold thing to say from a young kid like him.
Well,if he wants his life then he'll give it to him.What's the point of his life that he doesn't want to live anymore.
He nodded his head then the boy grabbed his arm and he run away with him.
He never knew that such a boy like him around his age was born.
And since that day,he praised the dark and never once live up to light again.
He never believed in happiness and joy.His sorrows and hatred were planted in his heart yet was buried away if he didn't recall his bad childhood memories.
The darkness always dimmed his entire soul that he gave up his life and devoted his entire being to a master whose ambition is far more greater than a human.
His master appointed him to be his shadow guard,his servant,even his spy and assassin.
And at present,he was appointed to look after a girl whose eyes were full of life.
He also wondered why he was appointed something like this?
Even though the life of the girl was tough and cruel at the same time,the girl still lived until today,happy and motivational.
Maybe his entire heart wasn't filled with darkness after all.Light gradually filled his heart slowly and progressively after he met this girl.
But a voice suddenly called his name.
"Ion.Watch the girl in the shadows and report her every movements to me.If danger comes in her way...destroy it without letting her notice it.I don't want my precious possession to be damage.So keep it safe."
The cold and dark voice rang in his ears.
How could he forget!
His master ordered him to checked up the girl.And this girl was even called his "precious possession".How dare he steal it!
This was wrong.This was all wrong!
He has to snapped this selfish severie out.
The black cat suddenly jumped out from her grasp and landed on Avila's face.
"Hey!That hurts!What a great way to repay your kindness to your savior!Pervy!"
The black cat ignored Avila's complains,walking towards the window and jumped.
He was waiting to land on his feet but felt lightness in his body.
"Gotcha!You almost fell down from the window.It's a good thing I catched you in time and this even made me saved you thrice."Avila smiled broadly once again.
The black cat was utterly speechless.
He doesn't need to be saved.
Especially,by you...
He wants to be saved from you!
The black cat struggled all his strength to get away from the girl's grasp but felt that the hold was tightened everytime he struggled.
Felt like his entire body tired from all the jiggling around and shaking his body up,he plopped.
Defeated by merely a human.Even though he wasn't even a normal human!
If he transforms his true self now,his mission will fail and if he can't escape from his target how is he supposed to report the movements this girl has made, to his master?!
Seeing the little kitty giving up,Avila closed all the windows including the door of her balcony as to trapped the little kitty here.
What kind of person would let someone whose fur is fluffly and being cute escape?
Of course,this person won't!
She proudly praised herself for being such a good possesive person while the black cat sulked inside his head.
'Master!Why did you make me a hostage of your target!!'
Meanwhile his master in the office,covering his face with pile of paperworks.
"A-achoo!..."
"Master your handkerchief."A butler handed over a handkerchief to him as he grabbed it coldly.
"I already sneezed three times in this day...that noble bastards must be talking behind my back."
'Should I kill them?They have been quite annoying since I became the duke.'
"By the way,Marc?Why is Ion taking so long?...I thought he would be back an hour ago."
"He is...kinda in a trouble,sire."
'Trouble?"
****
'Master!!!Help me!'
"Meow!!!"
"Come on!Kitty!Just this once!Let me play with you!I want to see you in this small dress I had made myself personally!It was sewed by me this afternoon when you fell unconscious!"
"Meowww!!"
'I don't want to!And I am not even a female nor your playmate to begin with!'
The black cat ran circles to circles as Avila followed him,crouching,trying to catch him.
He turned left to right,jumped from random objects to objects and until he was left into a wall.
A dead end!
He looked around and felt a shiver down his spine.
Who could've thought that when the next thing his eyes had laid on was the dress that was ready to be suited by him.
"MEOW!"
****
"Finally!I managed to put the dress on you!It's really cute."Avila rubbed her face against the black cat.
'M-master...Help me...I am dying...'
"Alright,now you look good!Oooh!I almost forgot.Why don't we give you a ribbon for your head dress so that it can match with your dress?"Avila picked up a red ribbon on her drawer then put it in the black cat's head.
"It looks good!"Avila praised the cat in a clap.
[Hey!Are you still gonna play dress up there?]
'Just shut up and let me play with the cat first.'
"Oh,by the way what time is it?"
Avila grabbed the cat in her arms then went towards the window,opening it with one hand.
Her orbs shrank,realizing that the sky was starting to dim.
"Holy moly!I never knew the sun is already going down."
She closed the window then put the cat down from her arms.
The cat landed in his feet while trying to take off the dress.
'How do I get this off?Should I rip it?'
"Hey,Pervy!Don't you dare,tear your dress off,or else I might play with you a little longer."
The black cat backed away,guliping in sense of fear.
Avila walked towards her desk,sitting down in her chair,facing in her mirror.
She picked up a small squared paper then sticked it to her swollen cheek.
'Oh,yeah!I almost forgot.I still have to check up on the man.But my dinner is still not here and if I go now,Sabrina might find me out of my room then...'
It's already obvious what's next.
It's better to stay here for a little while then to get caught.
But she was rather worried about the man...
Wait!She is?
No she isn't!
She cupped her cheeks,trying to get out of her daydream.
'It's supposed to be night time now yet I am still daydreaming?!Get a hold of yourself,Avila!'
[Just admit it...You like the man in the woods do you?]
'No I don't!S-shut up.Wait...How did you even know?You said you were unconscious at that time,right?'
[Fufufu...I was but my soul wasn't.]
'What?'
[My body was unconscious but my soul wasn't]
'Then,do you mean that your soul had been wondering all around in this world?'
[Yep!]
'Then,can you bring me back to my world?'
[Nope.I cannot do that.]
Ack.
Her hope of going back to her world was suddenly broken into pieces.
'Then,how did you get to my world to here?'
[To be honest...]
'...'
[I also don't know.]
'...'
"That's it!"Avila screamed that made the black cat flinched.He was shocked by the sudden outburst of his target.
'Who is she talking to?'
"Come out!Now!I want to beat you up!"
The black cat.'What?'
[Hey!Can you turn down your voice a little bit...your black cat got startled and we don't want people calling you a lunatic for speaking into an air, right?]
"Why you...little."Avila trembled in anger,trying to compose herself in a proper position as she was about to stomp her foot and storm out.
[Aaaayai...Can't you just calm down a little bit and do something else?]
The black cat."..."
'You are trying to change the subject again!You imbeci-'
Avila stopped the thought in her mind.
[What were you about to say?!]
'Wait,I almost forgot I still have to write a permission letter to my father.'
[Hey!You were supposed to say imbecile!Right?!]Pichi screamed in anger while Avila just ignored him while grabbing a paper from her drawer and a pen from her desk.Writing the letters in the paper that made a small scribbling noise.
[Hey!Stop ignoring me!]
'...'
The black cat."..."
[Hey!]
****
"Sabrina!Can you give this to my father after you put the food back.By the way,the dinner was delicious!"Avila said while handing a small envelope to Sabrina.
Sabrina grabbed it gently then,"Sure...Ummm?What is this miss?"
"A letter."
"What do you need a letter for?You can just talk to him right now that he has arrived."
"It's a letter for permission."
"Permission of what?"
"Running away from home."Avila blurted that made Sabrina shock.
Oops..That was a slip of my tongue.Looks like she is in trouble now.
"What?!"
