Sinner (Upperworld) Chapter 13
“Over here!” A small child shouted at her friends. Her friends run over to where she had her finger pointed. She let them get through the hole first before following them. They all snicker while holding their mouths to suppress the smiles as they wait for IT to come to hunt them down. Minutes passed and turn into hours. The children’s arms are getting sore from being cramped up in a small space. Some of them are whining and some of them are just tired. Their leader, the one who led them there keep looking outside. “Aren’t we going home?” Said one girl, clutching her small teddy bear. “He’s not coming. He just tricked us!” Said the boy beside her. “Ssh! Quiet down! Sister said that he will come to find us before giving us gifts. We must stay here.” Said the leader. Everyone whined but remained inside. ✒✒✒ “Finally! Some alone time!” Amilia threw herself on her bed. Getting home after a few days away feels so refreshing. She spent the night at Lizzie too as her mother requested.

“Remember this, my dear. Souls still have their own will.” A beautiful old woman rubbed the back of her grandson. Young Zephyr looked up with big innocent eyes. He was still oblivious to the world. He was staying with his grandma when his parents decided to leave him to work. His grandma was everything to him. “Why? Why do they still hurt people?” The woman smiled. “Because they are like humans too. Humans can be corrupted by their desires. And also, there is someone eviler than human desires.” Zephyr listened intently. “A certain someone lived at a place where goodness and kindness don’t exist. His place was surrounded by fire but it lacks warmth. So, he decided to let humans experience those.” She continued to rub his back. “Out of boredom, he played with human desire. Creating chaos in the world.” Zephyr buried her head deeper into his grandma’s lap. “How do you know that, Granny?” His small voice was coated with worry. “Because even if I didn’t get the chance to be in there.

“Hey, hold it properly! You’ll drop them!” Amilia was stunned by a sight early in the morning when she was about to step outside and get breakfast. Lizzie was holding a Tupper wear while Zephyr was balancing a bunch of plastics in his hands. Some are slipping out of his grasp and he was trying his best not to let them drop to the floor as Lizzie was shouting at him. They both looked like an idiot. “What are you doing?” Amilia breaks the scene and they both turn their heads abruptly at her. Lizzie smiled her biggest smile and beamed. “Good morning! I figured that you will be skipping foods even though… anyway here are some foods!” She lifted the Tupper wear at Amilia’s sight. “And you?” Amilia asked the troubled Zephyr finally getting a hold of the pesky plastic and clutching it to his stomach. “Something was bothering me since last night and I met up with this woman at the lift.” He explained. “That’s not a nice way to pertain to a person.” Lizzie winced at the word woman and doe

“Hey!” “Hey!” “Hey!” He glares at the intruder of his room. “What do you want?” He snapped at him not minding hiding the anger in his tone. “I was just at the Upper Ground. Guess who I saw?” He was excited. His voice was laced with excitement and his eyes almost sparkled. “I saw that girl, Amilia, and a man talking. Oh boy! They look good together!” He almost squeals. Almost. Good thing he didn’t. “And?” He asked. By now his fully healed. Gone was the inked swirl on his body and he can already move around. “Just sharing my excitement with you. Aren’t you? They can live happily ever after. A scarred and a vessel. A good combination- hey! Where are you going? I’m still talking…” He heard him call to him one last time before his voice fade away. He didn’t think too much of what he said. He knows him more than anyone on the Underground. Not that the place had many occupants. Most of them are just Shades. He despised that place. It was just great that he has access to the Upper Gro

Amilia rode a bus to her destination. She had that determined look on her face and a bag full of clothing and another handbag that was filled with food. Lizzie was unstoppable. She had packed everything she bought, cooked some, and buy some more for Amilia’s vacation. She had bought at least a year’s worth of supplies. She also sends her some more clothes and unnecessary things. Most especially, the guy who was now sitting beside her. Amilia can’t understand him. She thought that there was no way that he will agree to Lizzie’s idea but he did. He was now sitting comfortably beside her, in the center aisle. His eyes closed and his arms crossed behind his head. She watched his even breath. He’s not seriously asleep right now, is he? Amilia thought. He shifted to the side and opened his eyes slightly, eyeing Amilia. “What? Mesmerized by my beauty?” Whatever curse those ink had he still got them. He got a little more talkative now than he used to. He smiles a lot and was very jolly. He

“Dan, you didn’t call- “Editha Geralds paused from what she was doing to look at the door when it opened. She was expecting her son to stand there. But no. Daniel didn’t come home. He also didn’t notify them about his arrival which he always does. Instead, a young woman was standing in there. A face she wished she had erased from her memory but couldn’t do so. With her dark unruly hair and her piercing eyes, she looked like her mother. “Grandma,” Amilia said in a low voice. “What are you doing here?” Editha’s face darkened. She stood up and face her granddaughter. “I have something to ask you.” Amilia firmly said. “No. We already broke ties with your mother. We have nothing to do with you anymore.” She turned around to pick up a broken vase on the floor. Amilia come to help her pick up the broken pieces and gathered them around on her palm. “I have nothing to talk to you about. You may leave.” Amilia takes it all in. The coldness in her voice. The way he shrugged her off. She ta

Amilia went up to take a shower after an hour of dusting and cleaning the room. The Fallen, however, during the battle with the clouds of dust, had escaped to who knows where. Amilia didn’t care. She’s filthy and tired so a long shower will help ease her sore muscles. The room fogged from the hot steam coming from the shower stall. Amilia engulfed herself and let her body relax. She sighed. She had contemplated the events that had led to this. She didn’t know that she will be back to her hometown where she had collected a good number of bad memories. She thought of how her grandparents used to fight all the time. How her father would shout at her mother for no reason or when he was drunk. How the children around her age used to bully and treat her like an outcast. She tried to remember some good days but nothing would surface. It’s either she had nothing or she had forgotten about it at all. She decided to finish her shower when her hands started to wrinkle. She looked at her reflect

“Hey, what’s wrong?” He shook Amilia’s shoulder as tears streamed down her face. She hiccups once before falling into a sobbing pit. Slowly, like a movie, images flashed before her eyes. She remembered the faces of her friends. Their smiles. Their tired eyes. And how scared they were before she did what she was asked. There’s no mistaking it. It was her fault. She did it to her friend. Just like what she said in the journal, she offered her to him. She remembered now. The voice. More clearly. More precise. The voice had tricked her. He said that he would do nothing to her friends. But they disappeared right before her eyes. Amilia cry. Sobbing, she tried to contain the pain. She tried to trample down the guilt she felt. Her chest tightened. Her knees buckled as she fought the memories back. She shouldn’t have looked for answers. She should not come back. She should bury those memories forever. Amilia was in pain. She didn’t know what to think anymore. She was just there, kneeling a
