2024-10-29 19:42:56As soon as the police officers standing in front of the mall saw him, they all readied their guns and pointed it at the mysterious robotic man.
“Who are you?! Put your hands where we could see them!” One of the police officers screamed from the crowd.
“Don’t shoot, I am not your enemy!” The robotic man yelled as he turned and faced the policemen. His voice sounded like a robotic voice.
The female reporter started reporting the description of the robotic man to the viewers.
A couple of people standing close to me started pointing at the robotic man on the billboard.
“Isn’t that Burnaman?” One of the men standing in the crowd next to me asked.
“Yeah, the television show last season,” another guy responded. It seems the guy is popular.
I shifted my gaze and focused back on the billboard. To my greatest surprise, I saw demon wings coming right out of the back of the robotic man.
“Wait a minute, are those demon wings?” I turned around and looked at Mordecai with my eyes wide open, I was in total shock.
“Hmm Mhmm, He is a devil king candidate,” he answered with a calm look on his face.
I turned around and continued looking at the billboard, things just got a lot more interesting. The robotic man started making hand gestures at the police officers standing in front of him. It was like he was trying to convince them of something. He flapped his demon wings and flew up into the air in front of the policemen.
“Look! He is flying!” The female reporter screamed.
All the police officers were in shock and disbelief, they couldn’t fathom that a man was flying in front of their eyes.
Before I knew what was happening, the robotic man brought out red arrows and started shooting all the police officers with them. What is he trying to do by shooting them?
“You have to believe me when I say, that I Burnaman shall fight evil!” The robotic man yelled after he was done shooting all the police officers with red arrows.
“Why did he shoot them with red arrows?” I asked hoping that Mordecai would answer my question.
“Well though, listen to him, it all sounds silly, but at least he is using the red arrows for justice,” Mordecai responded.
I was still focused on the billboard to see how everything plays out. We all watched as the Burnaman went into the mall and stopped all the robbers with red arrows and made them surrender themselves to the police officers. The whole thing was intense, it was like we were all watching a movie where the superhero saved countless innocent lives from armed robbers. The Burnaman knew what he was doing with his wings and arrows, he had a lot of speed and accuracy. All the robbers surrendered themselves to the police officers, while all the hostages came out of the mall and ran away from that area.
After a couple of minutes, the Burnaman flew over to the live feed camera and started explaining how he saved all the hostages.
Suddenly Burnaman flew up into the sky and the live feed camera was still on him.
“I have come to defeat 20 enemies. I have already defeated one, I will not run and I will not hide from the remaining 18 devil candidates out there, come and take me on if you dare!” Burnaman yelled.
“What the hell?!” I blurted out as I stepped backward.
“This guy must be crazy, why is he talking about the devil candidate selection on the news?” I questioned as I turned and looked at Mordecai with shock, my lips were trembling as my heart started beating fast. Why would he be talking about the devil stuff in public like this?
“I don’t know and what does he mean, he has defeated one? Is he talking about Mr. Rodriguez?” Mordecai was also stunned as his gaze was fixed on the billboard.
A realization then hit me, Mordecai is busy hovering around me, what if a devil candidate sees him next to me? Oh my gosh, which means I am also going to be killed.
“Mordecai get away from me now!” I yelled as I turned around and looked at him with my eyebrows tightly pressed together.
“Oh, Okay,” Mordecai flew away from where I was standing.
I let out a sigh of relief. I am practical advertising that I am a devil king candidate if my demon hangs around me. I don’t know where these other candidates are or what they are like, but I know this much, I can’t be happy if I am dead. I turned around and continued walking down the street.
******************
Later in the evening at my apartment,
I was laying down on my bed reminiscing about the event I witnessed earlier in the day. Mordecai was floating in the air next to my bed.
I was lost in my thoughts as I gazed at the ceiling.
“Are you going to stay quiet and stare at the ceiling all day?” Mordecai asked in a deep tone.
“No, but I can’t forget about what Burnaman said earlier. 18 enemies, he plans on killing all the other devil candidates to become the devil king,” I turned to the other side of my bed and looked at Mordecai.
“Mordecai, I want you to revoke my status as a devil king candidate,” I said in a low tone.
“What?!” he yelled with his mouth wide open.
“Yes, I don’t want to be a devil candidate anymore, I don’t want to die, I just want to be happy,” I stated. After witnessing what Burnaman is capable of and his determination. I don’t want to continue being a devil candidate anymore. I don’t want to die, now that I have experienced a little happiness, I know now that I could attain happiness.
“I hope you know if you want me to revoke your status, I will have to take away your wings and arrows?”

“Yes, I don’t need them anymore, take them back,” I responded swiftly.“That’s not only the problem, if you return your wings and arrows, you will die,” he said in a calm tone. I got up from the bed and gazed at him with my eyes wide open.“What?!” I questioned.“Yes, if you were to throw them away, you will be throwing your life away,” he responded in a calm tone. He continued explaining to me that the only reason I am alive is because I accepted the wings and arrows as a devil king candidate. After a few moments.“I see,” I muttered as I wrapped my arms around my legs and folded myself inside my bed. I guess I can’t run away from being a devil candidate. But I don’t want to end up like that comedian Rodriguez, Burnaman is ready to kill all the devil candidates to become the devil king.“Trevor, I don’t understand human emotions that well, but I think you must be scared of Burnaman, if that’s the case, why don’t you stay inside your apartment for a while?” Mordecai asked as he flew c

AUTHOR’S POVBack at the college ground where Brianna and her demon were standing, She and her demon were busy gazing at Trevor’s trail in the sky as he flew away."I can’t help but wonder what that guy’s demon is up to. He is nowhere to be seen next to him," Brianna’s demon said as he floated above Brianna’s head.The demon turned around and gazed at Brianna."Well, it does make it more convenient for us," the demon said.

A red, glowing rope came out of both their hands and tied their hands together."That is great; I didn’t have to explain the whole process; both of you are already in sync with each other," the demon commented."Those ropes won’t come off unless the both of you will it too. Now get behind her and hold on to her tightly," the demon added.Brianna turned around and leaned into Trevor.Oh my goodness, Brianna is so close to me; I never thought we'd be this close, Trevor thought.Trevor and Brianna were standing at the edge of Brianna’s balcony. They wanted to try flying with each other for the first time."Are you ready?""Can I take off?" Trevor asked."Yes," Brianna mumbled.Trevor brought out his wings and flew into the sky while holding Brianna in front of him. As they flew further into the sky. Brianna’s mouth was wide open in awe; this was the first time she had ever been so high up in the sky."Are you scared?" Trevor asked in a soft tone as he continued flying."No," she answered

he could end up being the easiest to manipulate. Revel thought.At where Mordecai and Trevor were standing."Even if you go there and see him, do you think Burnaman would even bother talking to you?" Mordecai asked, his gaze fixed on Trevor."I don’t know," he mumbled."You might end up trying to kill each other. If the current owner passes away, wings and arrows can be transferred to someone else," Mordecai explained."Huh, nobody has ever said that.""It’s true, so if you were to die somehow, your wings and arrows could be transferred to Brianna, or if Burnaman were to die,you could take his wings and arrows and be free to give yours to Brianna," Mordecai explained.Revel and Brianna were just looking at Mordecai as he explained things to Trevor."Revel must be hoping that one of these scenarios takes place," Mordecai added.Revel’s eyes opened wide; he was shocked that Mordecai had exposed what he had been planning."You have lost the ability to think about things rationally becau

They were all focused on the large flat-screen television that was on the wall in front of them. They wanted to watch the news broadcast that Burnaman would give."I hope Burnaman won’t say something crazy this time," Mordecai said in a deep tone."Yeah, me too," Trevor muttered.A moment later."We will now play the video that was sent to us by Burnaman," A lady presenter with brunette hair said on Fox TV."Good afternoon, I am Burnaman, or rather, I am the hero wearing the Burnaman suit to my 18 challengers, I realized now that we are on the same side, I considered you guys enemies before, but in many ways we are kindred spirits," Burnaman statement, He was wearing his full body suit and sitting down on a blue background on the television."Huh?

I quickly took out my cell phone and called Brianna. I told her to go home without me and that I would meet her there. After that, I dialed Chris’s number and told him to meet me outside the school; after that, I ended the call. Chris and I had exchanged numbers earlier in economics class. The guy seems interesting, and I wanted to get to know him. It was weird, but there is something about him.I waited for a few minutes outside the school entrance before seeing Chris walk in my direction.

I can’t let anybody see Mordecai close to me in public at all."I will; just make sure you get home safe," she replied."I will see you later," I said as I ended the call.I leaned forward on the bench and rubbed my hands on my head. I can’t believe something like this happened to me.

"Yeah, you do need answers," Lucifer said softly.**********The following morning,Trevor arrived in front of Ezekiel’s apartment door. This is it, he gulped as he pushed the doorbell at the side of the door. He had called Ezekiel and told him that he wanted to come over and visit him, which Ezekiel agreed to.Suddenly, Ezekiel opened the front door with a bright smile. "Trevor! It’s you; welcome to my apartment," Ezekiel shook his hand."Come on in," Ezekiel said as he turned around and attempted to walk inside.Seeing that he had turned around, Trevor saw it as the perfect opportunity to grab Ezekiel. He swiftly walked closer to him as he wrapped his arm around Ezekiel’s neck as he held him tightly, and they both fell to the ground with Trevor still holding him tightly."What is wrong with you?! Why are you holding me?" Ezekiel asked under his breath; he couldn’t speak properly."I know who you are, Ezekiel, you are an angel of a special ranking, and you have been the one behind al

"What happened, babe? Why is your face like that?" She asked, raising an eyebrow."It’s nothing," he responded softly."Did something happen during your walk?" She inquired."Nothing happened; I need some alone time for now, babe," he responded as he stood and walked towards the balcony.With his reaction, Brianna could tell that something was bothering him, but she didn’t want to add to his worries, so she stood up and went into the bedroom.Trevor arrived at the balcony; he placed his hand on the iron bar as he gazed in front of him as the cold breeze blew through his hair.So all this while Ezekiel got close to me, he was an angel, and judging from the amount of haloes on his head, he is a special-rank angel. How was he able to hide his wings and halo from me? I mean I saw Jordan’s halos all the time and also saw Uriel’s halo, but why didn’t I see his own or get a clue that he was an angel? Trevor wondered."He probably has a special power that can make him hide his powers from oth

“Oh my, after everything that happened to you, you let the restaurant get away with what happened, you would have gotten damage control for what they have done to you,” Ezekiel said in a surprised tone.“I know that, but I don’t want to get any money from them or try to make things difficult for them. What has happened has happened and it is now in the past,” he replied.Wow, it seems Duke is now out of prison and Trevor doesn’t want to pursue any legal actions against him or the restaurant. It’s either he has a kind heart or he is just stupid. But either way, everything worked together for my good, he thought.“I feel you on that. You know something, you are a very kind-hearted person, if another person were to be in your position, they wouldn’t have let this all go that easily,” Ezekiel said.“Yeah, but I am me and I will handle the situation however I want,” he replied.Why is Ezekiel saying all this?

I can’t tell her the main reason I don’t want to press charges, if I do that, she is going to be worried, if she finds out that the waiter that poured me the water was actually under the influence of a red arrow, she’s not going to be able to rest, he thought.“Babe, I don’t want to do that because I don’t want to complicate the waiter of the restaurant’s life. The waiter might be going through a lot, and my face has already been scarred, suing them will just be unnecessary because it won’t take my face back to normal,” he explained softly.Brianna lowered her gaze as she sighed. “I get where you are coming from,” she muttered.**********Three days later,Trevor just got back home from the hospital after being discharged, he was sitting behind a desk that had a large mirror in front of it.

It’s not fair,” she said in a shaky tone.“Don’t worry babe you don’t have to feel sad; I will be fine with time, everything is going to be fine,” he replied as he rubbed her hand.“You know Trevor, somehow this is your fault, if you hadn’t gone out on that lunch or had been cautious like I told you, this would not have happened to you,” Lucifer said calmly in Trevor’s mind.“Don’t blame me for this, I was cautious, and I never imagined that something like this would happen

"It has not been easy, but the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that he had a child with Brianna before dying," Gabriel answered calmly, staring into Dalton’s eyes."Tell me, where is Brianna? She is one of the reasons I even came here today," Gabriel said.Dalton swiftly broke eye contact with him as he lowered his gaze. He didn’t know how he was supposed to tell him that Brianna had moved in with Trevor, the former person she almost married before leaving him for Jordan. Dalton didn't know how he was going to break the news to him, but he knew that even if he tried to avoid the question today, Gabriel would still find out the truth in the future, so he gathered the courage as he raised his head to look at Gabriel."Dalton, tell me, where is she?"

CHEERS AFTER THE LOSS
**********Meanwhile, in Ezekiel’s apartment, he was sitting behind his desktop computer at the side of his bed with headphones on his head. He was listening to Trevor and Brianna’s conversation. After finding out that Josh had been captured, he stood up and dropped the headphones.I can’t believe Josh was so stupid as to get caught; why can’t he just abandon the truck after selling the stuff inside? He must be a real fool for getting caught. One thing I know for sure is that he is not going to tell the police about me; the red arrow will make sure of that, he thought.He ambled over to his bed and laid down. At least Josh was able to carry out the task I gave him; he was able to sell the properties. It’s going to take a while before Brianna would be able to buy back all the things she has lost, thus she is currently very unhappy, and Trevor would also be sad seeing her unhappy. I will have to give them a few days to regroup before I come up with another plan, he thought.***********

Raymond was sitting behind a table in front of Josh in a dark room that had a white bulb above the table. Josh's hands were in handcuffs on the table, while Raymond’s hands were clasped together on the table. A police officer was standing at Raymond’s right side."First of all, I would like to know why you ran away with the truck in the first place? Didn’t you think of the consequences and that we were going to catch you?" Raymond asked calmly, staring into Josh’s eyes. Raymond has been an investigator for years, so he has seen all types of criminals and has even interrogated them. What he has learned over the years is that all criminals have an origin story.I thought I did everything that the angel told me right; I didn’t think that I was going to get caught this easily, and now this detective wants to know why I did everything, I can’t tell him the truth about why I did what I did; I won’t say anything about the angel; I will just have to come up with a lie, Josh thought."I ran aw
