•Demonice•
I am here in front of the mirror while Harmony putting make-up in my face. Myzielle is the one fixing my hair while Eurica is choosing a gown that I'm going to wear.
Harmony and Myzielle is coming too but they will stay in hidden. They will be act as our shadow together with the other member.
Samantalang ang ibang myembro ay maiiwan dito sa H.U in case na may biglang sumalakay dito.
Actually, before we prepare ourselves for the party. The headmaster call all the member of DR's for a meeting. He explain everything to us. Including the set ups.
Saka ko lang naunawaan ang mga nangyayari. Now I already have a clue for my next step. It look like they wanna play a hide and seek to me. *smirk*
"It's done!" Si Harmony with matching palakpak pa.
When I open my eyes, I saw a fierce lady with authority but have an elegant beauty looking at me from the mirror. Do I need to remove my contact lenses? Nuh... No need. This will be useful later.
"A goddess!.." Si Myzielle habang may malawak na ngiti.
"Next is your gown." Si Eurica.
I look at the combination of color black and red long dress with slit at the side. It is long sleeve but backless.
Good thing I manage to put the cancelling cream in my tattoo.
They help me to wear the dress then I choose the red stiletto to wear. Inayos ko ang gun holder sa may kaliwa kong legs. While sa kanan ko linagay ang akumà's blade ko. Later, akuma will gonna drink her favorite delicacy.
This time, I didn't wear my necklace. First, makikita at agaw attention ito dahil sa suot ko. Another reason is they might recognize my necklace. That will be a bad things if ever. Hindi pa ito ang tamang oras para makita nila ang kwentas.
Saktong paglabas namin mula sa kuwarto ko ay ang pagtunog ng doorbell.
"Mukhang susonduin ka na ng Emperor mo Empress." Parang baliw na impit na tili ni Myzielle.
"Tsk!" Hindi ko na lang pinansin.
Pagbukas ko ng pinto ay bomungad sa akin ang lalaking naka kulay black na tuxedo with red tie. Nàpatikwas ang kilay kong isa saka liningon ko si Eurica.
She only smile at me with matching kindat pa.
"Are you ready?" anito habang amay kakaibang kislap ang mga mata.
"Yeah.."
"Let's go."
Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pintuan ng sasakyan saka inallayang sumakay. Looking at this cold guy? Bagay sa kaniya naging butler.. A cold butler but handsome.
I frown with that thought in my head. Wala akong sinabing guwapo siya. Right?
"Wear your seatbelt."
"Ay handsome!" Nagilat ako sa bigla niyang pagdukwang palapit sa akin.
Napakalapit ng mukha namin sa isa't isa. Kaunting galaw lang ay siguradong mahahalikan na namin ang isa't isa. I can smell his mintly breath.
"Handsome pala, huh." He says while smirking at me.
I feel like my breath will going to stop soon pag hindi pa siya lumayo sa akin.
"Your so gorgeous too empress, so we're even." bulong niya with his husky voice.
Shit! Damn! What is happening to me? In everything that occur in my life, I've never lost my demeanour. I always keep myself calm, but every time that he is near me... My mask will removed completely. Na hindi tama, hindi pa dapat.
When I look at him. He wink at me. Kaagad akong nag-iwas ng tingin at hindi na lang siya pinansin.
Medyo malayo ang V.U, inabot kami ng isang oras bago makarating.
Before we inter pinakita ni Xythan ang invitation card for the inspection.
We wear our mask before we go out in the car. Nauna si Xythan, bago siyo umikot at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto saka inalalayan.
I don't know why every time na magkakadkit ang aming mga kamay, I can feel electricity.
Ikinawit ko ang aking kamay sa kaniyang braso bago kami sabay na naglakad papasok.
The one of the staff check our invitation card bago bumolong sa isang staff. After a awhile.
"Let's welcome the arrival of the emperor and empress of Hellian University.!" Anunsiyo ng MC.
Habang naglalakad kami papasok ay nasaamin ang atensiyon ng lahat. I can feel their burning gaze.
Napatingin ako kay Xythan nang hapitin niya ako sa beywang at hilain palapit sa kaniya
"I don't like their way of stare at you." Cold niyang wika. I agree to him kaya hindi ako umangal.
We go to the table prepared for the representative of H.U.
Wala akong interest sa mga pinagsasabi ng MC. It's boring, hindi pa ba magsi si mula ang bloody party? That's the main raison why I go here.
"Sa comfort room lang ako saglit." Paalam ko kay Xythan.
"Samahan na kita." Siya
"No need. Saglit lang ako." Saka tumayo na ako at naglakad paalis.
Hindi ako pomunta sa CR. I go to the garden instead. Napatigil ako nang mapansin kong may taong nauna sa akin.
"Prepare all my belongings that I'm going to use pag punta ko ng China."
Narinig kong boses ng naka black long dress na babae. Followed by "Good." Saka siya umalis.
Lumabas ako sa pinagkokublian ko then use my smart phone to check my people. Before I go here, I already inform my Gems to check this place.
"Hello Emerald. Any news?"
("It's all done Queen. Na defused na namin ang mga bomba at pinalitan ang mga iyon. Naka konikta sa system ng smart watch mo ang power.")
"Great! Go to your assign position."
("Noted!")
I hung the call after that.
Paalis na ako ng may mapansin akong kumikinang sa may paanan ko. I decide to pick it. To my surprise, it is a necklace. Not just a necklace but... My necklace?
Paanong napunta ito rito? I left my necklace so how?
I put it in my improvised pocket and decided to go back inside.
