Chapter 39 - The Devil

Chapter 39 - The Devil

...

<POV: Jerome>

As soon as I made up my mind, I leaped out from my position and swiftly grabbed Celesta, snaking my arms around her waist as I hugged her body close.

YESSSS~! I did it! I really, really did it~!

Finally being in such close proximity to her, made me unable to disobey my instincts as I took a deep sniff of her smell from her body.

Ohhhhh~! So FRAGRANT! I love it!

It makes me wonder what she really tastes like.

As I was preparing to taste her skin for a bit, the bitch began to struggle violently and began to hit me everywhere.

"L-Let me go! Have you lost your mind already?! Quit it!"

T-This.. BITCH!!!

"How dare you.. DAMN YOU!"

*slap*

I could hold not myself back and slapped that bitch hard against her cheeks. She bend down a little as she held her face with her hands. I wanted to see the frightened expression on her face, but her long hair was covering it.

Serves you right, bitch. This is just the beginning though. Don't expect any mercy from me at all.

"HAHAHAHAHA!! What now, huh?! Not so Mighty and Tough are you now, huh?! You.. are a STUPID WOMAN!!"

This... feels so great!! FUCK I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!

This shit feels even better than sex itself.

Domination. Conquer.

I feel like the king of the world already!

So intoxicating...

While I was happily enjoying this sight, the stupid group of 'friends' finally decided to come out from behind the curtains.

Finally gained some balls, eh? Heh! Losers! See how daddy does it? Learn from daddy!

I will teach you weaklings tonight.. how to treat a woman.

"H-HEY! Look behind you!"

Huuh? Behind me?

What's that stupid moron even talki----

My line of thought ended right there.

PAIN. Dizziness. Confusion.

What happened? Where am I?

AHHH! It hurts so much!!

Mommy... mommy...!

My eyes were darting all over the place and tears began to cloud my vision, preventing me from being able to see anything around me properly.

My ears weren't able to pick up any sounds at all.

SHHIIIIIIIIIIIIN.

That's all I could hear.

What in the world is happening to me?!!

Am I truly dreaming? Is this perhaps.. just a nightmare...?

...

Ah. It's getting quieter now.

My head pain is subsiding too.

Good. Now I can find out just where I am right now.

Eh? This place.. why does it feels so unfamiliar? Just where the heck am I?

I tried my best to be able to look around myself. This... this place has a lot of tools everywhere.

Perhaps this is a... garage? But, this isn't the one from my home though. And... why are there so many men sleeping and sitting around everywhere?

Did they have some drinks and become intoxicated like that? It looks like they drank themselves to death.

Hah! Losers. Forget about them.

Let's try to remember. Just what exactly am I doing here?

I was doing my best to recall everything when someone came over to stand above me.

W-What is this?! Those eyes... why are they looking at me with such intense hatred?!

T-They look as if they are looking at a dead man. So much killing intent!

I need to get away from this person. M-My body is screaming at me to do so!

Do I know this person from somewhere? Why is she staring at me like this?!!!

As my eyes began to dart around to gain some relief from such intense glaring, I ended up noticing her features too.

Her hair.. her body.. t-this is a woman?

What's wrong? D-Did I do something to her? But.. I don't remember doing anything like that!

Who is she...? Why is she doing this?

As I began to berate my brain for failing to act properly in such a horrifying event, the woman finally spoke something to me while I continued to try to hide from being seen through her eyes.

T-Those eyes... they don't belong to a human being for certain.

A Devil. This woman is a devil, for sure!

"Never again. If I find you ever again... I will really kill you, understood?"

S-Scary!!! Why?! Just why is this woman so scary?!

Mommy! Save me MOMMY!!

My body continued to shudder with fear while tears and snot continued to drip down my face.

The woman didn't seem to be satisfied with my response though. I-Is she hoping for something more?

Let's try agreeing with whatever it is that she is saying. No use angering her any further.

I nodded my head desperately with the full strength that my body could muster at the moment.

The woman continued to stare into my eyes though.

A sentence kept popping out within my mind in rapid succession.

R-Red haired... Devil...

...

After what felt like an eternity, the woman finally lost interest in me. She grabbed something in the room and slowly walked out of the place.

D-Did I somehow offend that Devil?

I must make sure to never meet her again! Otherwise...

Eh? What's this? Why do my pants feel so weird?

As the tension left my body, my eyelids started to become heavy again. I soon found myself losing awareness of my surroundings.

Ah.. relief at last.

I hope that this nightmare has ended already.

...

<POV: Celesta>

So tired. So tired already.

My brain.. it's throbbing so heavily.

Must get back to the room. I.. don't think that I would be able to beat this sense of sleepiness any longer.

The shops are still open. The streets are still crowded. This noisy street... I want to get away from here.

Away from all these people... to where my Carene is.

My.. Carene...

I forced myself to keep my eyes open while my legs continued to move toward the hotel building.

What time is it? The phone?

Ah, I got it back already. Good thing. I.. won't let anyone touch my Carene.. ever again.

Where are you.. Carene...?

I.. miss you so much.

My legs.. they hurt so much. Did I overexert myself there? Still, those assholes thought that they could get me so easily.

Not before my Carene. No one gets me other than her.

If anyone dares to though... they would just.. die?

So sleepy...

As soon as my eyes identified the hotel building, I moved toward the Security Guard's cabin and showed them my ID card.

They asked me why I was so heavily drunk and coming back alone so late in the night, but they still let me in anyway.

What? An adult girl can't even drink? They should see Mom then. She would show them what a real drinker looks like.

Hehehehe... Mom behaves so funnily whenever she overdrinks.

Jorah and I would tease her a lot too.

Ah! I didn't call them yet. Let's see...

Oh no. The phone's battery is dead. I guess it can't be helped, huh?

The elevator soon stopped at the designated floor and I departed it to walk toward my room.

It's still locked. Are those girls still drinking? What a bunch of crazies, aren't they?

Just as when my eyes found my bed, a crazy amount of happiness began to sprout out from within me and I soon found myself lying flat over it.

Carene... eh? Is this Carene? But, how could a pillow be Carene?

Pillow Carene? Ahh.. so sleepy.

Phone.. put in charge.. soon...
