Chapter 38

"You, Hara, or whoever, you better watch out and stay away from troubles, " Auran's warning kept ringing inside Volca's head. He sounded really serious before he left her. Volca took the elevator and walked back to her room. She kept thinking about his words. She doubted if it is the same person who read to her and shared his stories with while she was at the hospital comparing to how rude and stiff he is now towards her.

"Why the hell did you care to stay and speak to me when I was sick, duh? what a drama!" she thought feeling silly and sneaked back into the room and slowly laid down in the bed without making noise. She fell asleep instantly. Her dreams were disturbing and hurtful.

"What do you want to do with her Aqua, it's your call this time," Huo asked his beloved looking at Volca coldly. He had no mercy left inside him for Volca. Huo standing with his soul sword in his right hand, gripping around them tight, even willing to execute her, waiting for the command. For Volca had already died seeing his hatred towards her even in her battered and severely injured condition, he didn't necessarily had to kill her and soil his hands with her blood.

"I don't want her to die," Aqua said. Tears glistening in her eyes. "I don't want her to die just like that," Volca shed tears along. "That's not right, she shouldn't die easily," Volca sensed her best friend's hatred towards her and she could not accuse Aqua for it since Volca had done some of the serious crimes. She surrendered. She didn't want to fight back. She just wanted to do whatever Aqua would order her. "She should know what it is like to feel horrible inside seeing someone she loves being with somebody else, while she is away but witness them all," Aqua circled around Volca. Volca stood looking down unable to meet her eyes. "Why? Be the same old head strong Demoness, What happened now?" Aqua asked. "This is not right, we are deciding your punishments, you have all the right to ask for what you want," Aqua mocked her. But she was holding back her tears. "Did you enjoy it? When your mother stabbed me? Was it fun to watch me die so you could get Huo all for yourself, feed him love elixirs and change his soul?' Aqua questioned her one by one. Volca took a deep breath and shook her head.

"I never enjoyed anything," she said.

"Really?" Aqua asked her. "I didn't know that, you should have said this earlier Volca I mean the kind of relationship we have, you should have really told me," Aqua laughed but she got serious. "Did I not beg you if I remember correctly to not set the trap for Huo?" her tone changed. Volca stood there bleeding badly. Huo nor Aqua did not care about it. Princess Milan, sister of Aqua and Water Realm's Grand Prince Aiden was also present at the scene.

"Aqua I know you won't believe me whatever I say," Volca started her.

"Say? No you won't get to say anything now, that's never a choice for you, we have clearly lived through everything you have done for both of us," Aqua shouted at her.

"I won't be sorry," Volca said smirking at her at last. She was. She really regretted everything but pride did not let her say it out.

"I know, I know you won't be," Aqua said holding back her tears. Aqua just wanted to her how sorry Volca was for doing everything, to let her slip from the punishments but she did not hear what she wanted to. "Enough of it, leave, Huo," Aqua called. "Huo sent her on exile and ask her to never return back to heaven or hell. "If she does, she will die in my hands," Aqua said and left the scene. Volca knew what it meant.

"You heard her," Huo said and asked her to leave. And he left along.

Volca woke up from her sleep, shuddering and sweating all over. It was 8 AM already. Jiah was in the washroom. She wiped her sweat and got out of the bed. Auran had asked them to get ready before down stand outside the hotel. She waited for Jiah to get ready and then got ready quickly. She tried her best to avoid her thoughts regarding the dream.

Volca out on a lime yellow cotton dress and white sneakers. She tied her hair into pony tail and carried a sling bag with her to keep the phone and money. Jiah also got ready on time and stepped out.

Auran was waiting downstairs for the two ladies already, carrying McDonald's breakfast. He gave them the meal and asked the key of the car to drive them. "Hop in," he said to the two.
