Tangled With The Devils (Devils #2)

"For his appearance a late comer than never, let the Devil speak for his self as he kick some ass sh*t!" -Originally made by Ra1_1ssa What I mean is magiging late pa ang appearance niya kaya siya muna daw sa Prologue, matagal na rin siyang walang role at nababagot na siya. __Chauslte's POV__ "HADES," I turned my head to Sister Dementia looking over me. There was a smile on her face, and by that, good news may have been passed onto hers. "Bakit nakamukmok ka lang dito?" She asked as she sat at the swing next where I am seating. "makipaglaro ka sa kanila." With what she said, my head automatically moved to look at the kids on my age's direction. They were playing, and I can't seem to match their mood. "Kaya nilang maglaro ng wala ako." I said. "Sige na, wala namang mawawala sa'yo kapag lalapitan mo sila at makikipagkaibigan ka diba?" She smiles. "They keep calling me a freak." "Why?" "Because I have abnormal eyes." "Having blue eye isn't abnormal." "Yeah, but having both blue and black eye isn't normal!" I say, snapping at the nun who seems undaunted and unmoved by my outburst. "You're just sick, Hades." I didn't respond, seeing them staring at us, I got up from the swing and helped myself by walking at the backyard of the church. Sister Dementia followed. "I have good news for you Hades," Hindi ako nagsalita. Binulsa ko lamang ang magkabilang kamay sa pantalon na suot at patuloy na naglakad, kicking those little rocks in the process. "someone is going to adopt you." My feet stopped kicking, the silence protruded as I taken my time to think of the reasons why I was being adopted, despite of all the imperfections. "The adoption papers are being processed and it will later be approved by the notary—" "Bakit?" Natigilan siya pananalita nang tanungin ko iyon. For what I know, no one had ever taken an interest in me since the day I got here. "Hades..." Sister Dementia spoke, judging by her tone, I could sense how she pities me. And I hated the way she pities me. I don't like it when everyone look at me that way, that I wasn't capable of anything because of my f*ck*ng eyes! "I don't need a family." I said my voice colder than ice. "I will never consider anyone as one!" It was yet another day of concealing everything I never wanted anyone to see. As they say, everyone has their own secrets, and I got one. I choose blue rather than black, the black has that certain shade of light lining up the center of my pupils. It was Central Heterochromia whatever this disease with my eye called. It was a condition where both my eye colors posses' different color, and the other has another different shade of color at the middle. I kept both of my eyes with blue eye contacts to conceal my hideously freakishly face. Whenever someone would get a glimpse of my eyes, I would kill them in a blink. "How are your conditions?" It was yet another day unimportant living of a day. And Alex was sure a little generous to make things a living hell. "What made you so concern?" Alam ko kung bakit siya nandito, he held out a bottle containing a medicine. He held out his arm and threw it at my direction which I successfully caught by my right hand. "I need you as my right hand." I managed to form a sarcastic grin to his statement. Alex, on the other hand, does not need any right hand or left hand. He could stand and be the King on his own. "You got plenty in your deck of cards, someone you can trust than a devil with no allegiance." I looked at the map and pictures on my wall, and I could tell that his power was expanding into estates that even I couldn't imagine putting down. Isa na siya sa pinakamaimpluwensya at makapangyarihang tao na madami ang gusting sumunod. Ngunit marami ang gustong humuli. Though he wasn't running as the fugitive, he was the one chasing fugitives. But in his entire reign, his goal was I can not understand. He resembles Steinz Smith. That b*stard who doesn't know anything except to run. "Alam mo ba kung nasan ngayon si Steinz?" "Dying?" I replied. "No," He said. "forming." So Steinz was another threat to Alex. And I wish nothing to do with whatever plan he will do that will take part a city he was targeting. He have come so far to fail this one, so maybe he'll win this one. "What do you think of the former Kings?" The plan was however, in my opinion flawed for a mistake if leaked, it will alert all the enemies and it all my come into a halt. This plan needs time and preparation, is what Alex says, but never had he tell what the whole plan was about. Something power, something dirty. And I had no doubt that he was targeting the government. "They've become too quiet by the peace." I put my shoulder against my forehead as I close my eyes. I feel stiff, and I don't ever want to move away from where I am seating, just spending time watching the scene in front of me. Where one of my auctions has been taking place once again. I just watch as everyone inside the auction hisses, shouts and cheers at the dark scenario they were seeing. Blood, money, and s*x. The whips ripping through the woman's skin as she was being ravaged like an animal. Her pleas, and full of fresh wound skin seem to add something on everyone's excitement. The cage was full of hanging flesh of humans tore up tendons and tissues that I couldn't see the chains and cages. It was a normal and a life for every man like me. "I wondered how I could destroy everything." I did not respond. "Just like how our lives are destroyed." "But you are already moving." "Yet I'm still not close." "They might find out sooner." "But it won't be as soon as I solidify my alliance with all the leagues. I've gained their trust. Soon my empire will be as big as a city." Ales smiled wickedly as if he is sure that there would be nothing to interfere his plans, nothing, no one. I hope so. "So what's your plan?" Muli akong napatingin sa dingding at tinignan ang mga grupo, and mga kalaban at ang mga gusaling nasasakop ng kapangyarihan ni Alex. From the glass separating us from the event at the auction, I saw that the girl on the auction was already dead with flesh hanging from her open woods. It will later be devoured by tigers at the dark alley where I kept as a pet. "I won't tell you unless you're willing to take part of the future." Tinapunan ko siya ng tingin. He sips on his wine as if the gruesome scene isn't taking place. "I guess I won't know what that future is." I just said. "No Chauslte," Alex adjusted his fingers on his wine glass. "you will be part of my new world." New world... I knew Alex is different from any ruler I have met. After being pull through a chain where corruptions of a political man uses me as a pawn, being dragged into Icell's league, and being ruled by Ianniel none of them ever thought of changing the world like Alex is so obsessed of doing. "I don't get why I should join your fight club." "There is many, Chauslte. Don't tell me that power does not piqued your interest?" "Your power is all but yours." "Well," He said, shrugging. "a real King should be selfish." He is not just a selfish King. He was more darker than dark and I don't wanna tell everything he has as a charismatic leader. After succeeding to bring all of Icell's fallen empire, the Blank, the X, the Aces and all the leagues that has long been destroyed. Even the G "You still want to kill Icell, don't you?" Hindi ako nagsalita dahil alam kong nakuha na niya ang makakasakal sa akin upang sumunod sa gusto niya. Of course, I wanted to kill Icell Smith. It is what I ever wanted. Bigla akong tumigil sa aking iniisip nang ilabas niya ang baril na nakalagay sa kanyang suit at itutok iyon sa akin. But I already moved my head so the bullet misses me. I know there is no time for grabbing mine so I moved my right hand to stop his hand from firing the gun. He kicks my swivel chair to swerve it away from him and in an instant his hand slipped away from mine. Then he pointed the barrel to me but before we could be separated, I already pulled his own swivel chair by my feet and stopped his arm from aiming. Grabbing my own gun, I gradually pointed it at his forehead as I crushed my fingers on his arm. He smiles, "That's it," He leaned forward. "Follow your instinct." I let go of his arm and he finally pulls away. Then he got up putting his gun in place. "I will wait for your participation, Chauslte." Then he left the room. Should I join his new world? Or should I do something to stop it? Ugh! What use do I have in living in this world anyway? Just a devil waiting for the time to kill Icell. And I'll die quietly for everyone. I am making them an easier choice to erase my existence. I just turned around just in time as two girls entered, to be played by the men inside. It was a rule in the auction that if the men disapproved of the girl, they would make fun of her until she dies. And if someone likes to take her home as slave, and surely someone will also be in favor, then roll the dice for the higher rate of the money they could offer. Suddenly, I pictured 'her', that little brat, being the one on the auction. It made me uneasy causing my hands to clench and unclench. Forcefully, I had to grit my teeth as I had taste for the first time the distaste of something inhumane I loved doing. But I denied whatever that feeling I have for I wasn't normal. I touched my eyes. Freak! I guess I really am, with I've become, I'm nothing but a monster, a devil. And I wasn't good enough with anything pure. And she is pure...
