The Search for Freedom 44 The Addicts
We were going inside the mansion when I remembered that many people might become hindrances to me in doing the necessary things which could help me get rid of the curse. Especially my personal maid, Amara Spicy, who was so inquisitive. She might also leave the mansion if I did not be truthful about the weird things that were happening to me those days.I was confused when Alicia halted in front of the antiquated mirror and seemed to be scrutinizing her own reflection. There were probably a lot of mysteries about it since, though eons would pass, it was still there. My parents had never told me anything about that mirror, and every time I would ask, they were always changing the topic.I didn't know if it was true that the mirror was older than my grandparents. I could say they were not telling the truth to me, but I knew how they would tell the truth and the unreal ones. That didn't matter if sometimes they believed that if they told me everything, I had nothing to discover."Is there
The Search for Freedom 45 The Flattering Foe
LilWhatever Cain would tell me, his sins were unforgivable. He was the reason my life became poignant. He was the reason why I killed a lot of innocent people, even my friend's mother. And I wasn't in a difficult situation if he didn't show his demonic face. But if he wanted to assist me in breaking the curse, why wouldn't he talk to me instead of blasting in my ear like a machine gun?Perhaps it was a mistake if I always disagreed with every word he would say. That I was allowing them to enter one ear and leave another annoyed him as a reply to his opinions. But though I would fight him, he didn't run out of words, and he talked to me the whole day. He would never give up as long as he could not get my attention, and he seemed to be a tireless spirit. I didn't know. Perhaps his real intention was to win my trust, for the thought that I might conspire with him.Cain had been following me wherever I would go. I became mad and forgot to respect the elderly. I talked back to him. The fl
The Search for Freedom 46 The Explanation
Thereafter, Cain told me the real reason why he gave me the curse. He said he wanted to get rid of the curse, which came from the powerful spirit. I was wondering if it was a good enough reason why he did it, or if I did not understand what he meant."But what kind of curse was given to you by the powerful spirit that you had to curse me too?" I slightly scratched my head."It wasn't just a simple curse: my wife and I could not go back to the realm of spirits. It has been thousands of years since we began strolling in this world. We're searching for someone who can help us get back to the place where we suitably are," Cain explained."Do you have a wife?" I queried."Yeah, She was also cursed by the same spirit who's even crueler than us." Cain sighed. "And I will never leave this earth without her.""So if you really have a wife, then where is she?" I asked."She had been strolling in other parts of the world to search for someone who could help her to be free, so that we could go ba
The Search for Freedom 47 The Deal for Freedom
KailaAlicia and I went towards the benches covered with the shade of tall trees. Those boys could see me, but I knew that they could not see Alicia because she was already a spirit. I wasn't totally afraid of what those boys could do to me, because Alicia could make them disappear in just a second after flipping her fingers at them.One of the boys pointed his finger at me, then I heard him say, "Buds, look at the girl; she looked beautiful and rich." Though we were far from them, I could already hear their voices, which seemed to be fighting, and they were doing that because of me.The boy who wasn't wearing a shirt replied, "She's really beautiful. I want to taste her." However, I didn't care if he had a good body or if he was excels in bed because I wasn't a donut to let him taste me. What I did care about was that he might meet my boyfriend, Mr. Death.Another boy warned, "She's already mine, so don't attempt to touch her."What kind of boys were they? I wasn't a food item for th
The Search for Freedom 48 The Road to Death
Thereafter, sweat began diffusing around his body and mine also. I'm sure it turned red after how many times he had punched my face. I could not even hit him because he was avoiding every punch I threw at him.I never expected that would happen. There was nothing I could do right there but accept that I was defeated by that boy. Until something entered to my mind, maybe I could use it to see his next moves and not be hit by his strong punches. The power of my vision. So I focus my attention on it, telling my eyes to show me the next move of that boy.Alicia was right, that if someone believed he could, everything around him would conspire to help him achieve something. I foresaw what would happen next. I would be defeated by that boy, and it showed me his moves, so it came to my mind to defend all his movements so that he could not defeat me that time. It was so nice that I could change what would happen in my future through my powerful vision. I would never make any wrong decisions a
The Search for Freedom 49 The Exact Story
LilSitting on the long wooden chair while looking at the tall grass The bees were flying close to their beehives hanging from the tree's branches. The wooden gate had become weak and decayed after being there for a long time. The green grass on our lawn and many other things around our house. Everything around me was aged. Even me.The curse wasn't just a simple thing that would leave voluntarily. I needed to do something, but I didn't want to talk about where and how I got that thing. What I wanted to think about was how to get rid of it. Though I didn't want to trust Cain again, I couldn't deny that I needed his help, for he knew a lot of things, and he was powerful. He had told me the only way to be free, and I didn't know if I could do that thing, because it wasn't as easy as I thought.I needed to kill a hundred people to be free, and I lost hope that I could. It was hopeless; I knew I couldn't even kill an animal, but how much more human? Cain told me to try. My decision was ne
The Search for Freedom 50 The Disgusting Demon
I realized it was better to kill a hundred people with my own hands than see myself controlled by the curse and likely kill thousands or more. From what I had experienced, the curse was willing to kill anyone without hesitation. If I could control myself, there were many ferocious people in the world, but I wasn't saying that they ought to die.I realized if the curse could control every portion of my body, including my brain, it might kill more than I needed, and it would not leave me anymore. There might be thousands, or it could kill all the people in the whole world. It was horrendous as it sometimes used dark magic. So I decided to kill a hundred people rather than billions."It seems that you have decided, but it's not too late if you would like to change your mind. It won't be as simple as that, for there's a possibility of wrong things to happen," Cain said."You told me that the curse could be active at anytime, so I don't need to think too much about it. That's just a time-c
The Search for Freedom 51 The Trial and Error
KailaEverything that was happening was all my mistakes. I knew I could not blame Alicia if she brought me there. It wasn't her mistake, for it was me who could not decide where to start, and that was why Alicia brought me there to kill those boys. It wasn't Alicia, not the curse, not my fate, but me. It was me who must be blamed. I became a serial killer who didn't show any sympathy for those boys.Maybe it was because I hated myself too much. I didn't notice I had already killed the boy in front of me. I didn't notice that I stroked his head many times, causing a very big crack on it. His brain had exploded like a volcano, which could not endure the lava erupting.Though it was difficult to endure squeamish things like blood, I would simply regard everything as a trial, one that would strengthen me for future ordeals. It seemed that my whole life was a trial itself, and there was nothing enjoyable. It was only full of sadness, and there were a few good moments.Maybe it was because
