"Aunty, I want to ask you somet….." She cut me off.
"Yeah, spill it and get out of my face already," she complained as she was busy scrolling on her cellphone.
I pressed my lips tightly together. Who the hell does she think she is?
"What do you want to say already?!" She yelled as she stood up from the couch.
I then raised my hand and stretched it towards her. I tried imagining bringing out the red arrow from my palms; in a split second, the arrow came out of my hand.
"Hey, why are you pointing your hand at me? What the hell do you think you are doing?" She asked with her eyebrows twisted together.
I quickly shot her in the chest with the red arrow, before she could say another word. Before I knew it, my aunt fell backwards and landed on the couch behind her, it was like the arrow hit her in the chest physically.
"You did it, now she is going to do anything you tell her," Mordecai said from behind the couch.
"You mean, that is all it takes for me to control someone?" I inquired.
"Yes," he responded.
I shifted my gaze over to my aunt on the couch. She stood up and looked at me.
"Sorry Trevor, sorry for what happened; I love you, Trevor," she said as she walked closer to me and grabbed my face. She stared deeply into my eyes, it started to creep me out, My aunt has never looked at me this way before, and she has also never told me she loved me before. I think the red arrow worked.
"Why are you telling me sorry?" I inquired, still staring at her.
"Forgive me Trevor, my husband and I were the ones that killed your family, I swear I didn’t want to do it, but my husband was the one that planned everything," She responded as tears dripped down her face.
My eyes and mouth opened wide. What? Mordecai was telling the truth; my aunt and uncle were the ones that killed my entire family. I can’t believe they did something that terrible.
My aunt collapsed on the floor in front of me as she bowed her head.
"I would never want to hurt you, Trevor, I didn’t want to kill your entire family, but my husband was the one that insisted we do it and if I didn’t comply with his plans, he would have still done it," She said in a sobbing tone as her tears filled the floor. This is fucking unbelievable. Why would my aunt and uncle even think of doing such a thing in the first place? Does that mean they value money more than anything?
I was speechless as I gazed at my aunt on the floor.
I heard sounds coming from the front door, and the next thing I knew, my uncle had entered the living room. His name is Peter Martins; he was a man that was in his late 50s, he was short, fat, and had red hair; he was my late dad’s junior and only brother.
"What the hell is going on here? Why is my wife crying on the floor?" He asked in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room.
My aunt stood up from the floor and dashed over to where my uncle was standing, and grabbed his collar.
"You are the one that planned everything, you are the one that took Trevor’s happiness away from him!" She yelled as she held on to his shirt collar tightly.
She started saying all sorts of things, like how my uncle was the one who planned to kill my dad because he wanted to inherit all his property and money and she also said how they made the car explode with my entire family in it. after a few moments.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Brittney? Why are you saying all these things in front of Trevor?! Have you lost your mind?" He shouted as he slapped her hard on the face. She fell on the floor and hit her head.
She got up from the floor and sat down on the floor.
"You hitting me won’t stop me from telling Trevor the truth about all the things you did," She said in low tone as she wiped away the blood that was dripping down from her mouth.
I was just standing behind them and not doing or saying anything, I was burning with a lot of anger inside of me. I twisted my fists into tight balls.
"Uncle tell me, did you let me live just to get your insurance?" I asked in low tone as I raised my head and stared at him. I wanted to also confirm this, just to be sure that Mordecai was accurate.
"It was his idea too, he told me he wanted one of his brother’s kids to live so that he could use that person for the insurance and you were the one he choose. The insurance company paid for us to take you in," my aunt said in high-pitched voice as she was still sitting on the floor.
My uncle walked over and swiftly grabbed my aunt from the floor and gave her a resounding slap around the face.
"Shut your mouth woman!" He yelled. My aunt fell on the floor again.
“How dare you betray me you bitch!” He yelled in anger as he glared at her on the floor.
So, my uncle actually kept me alive just so he could get money from insurance company, this man is a terrible human being. How does he live with himself after doing all these terrible things? The both of them did all those things for money.
“God, the both of you are monsters!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.
“You guys don’t care about anyone!” I fell on my knees and started crying. Discovering all this is too much and heart breaking for me.
“The both of you deserve capital punishment, you guys should just die!” I screamed as I stood up from the floor with tears still rushing down my cheeks. My aunt stood up from the floor and grabbed a knife from the center table in the middle of the living room. “If killing myself is going to make you happy, I am going to do it,” she said in a cold tone. Before I knew what was happening, my aunt stabbed herself on the neck, blood started pumping out of her neck and filled the entire floor, a few seconds she fell flat on the floor. Mordecai flew over to where I was standing and stood next to me. “Why did she do that to herself?!” I yelled as I stared at my aunt’s lifeless body on the floor with my eyes wide open and my mouth hanging loosely. “You were very clear, you told her to die,” Mordecai said. “Wait do you mean the red arrow can compel people to do that?” I inquired as I turned and looked at Mordecai. He started explaining to me that once the arrow makes anyone fall deeply i
Hearing all he just explained, I then realize that I have started down a destination that I can’t even imagine, the path I am on right now is an outrageous one. I didn’t ask to be chosen as a devil king candidate, plus why me? I finally decided to live and pursue happiness, but now 20 devil king candidates? What is it going to take to be chosen as the new devil king and am I ready for all this? “So, you are telling me that there are 20 candidates and one of them will become the new devil king?” I questioned in a soft tone. “Yes, that’s right,” “Well, I guess I believe you, I can’t deny that there is a demon hovering beside me,” “But, what if I don’t want to be the new devil king? Because I never signed up for all of this, all this is too much for me to take in,” I stated in a low tone. “Listen, if someone else ends up becoming the devil king, your wings and arrows will be taken away from you, but if you become the devil king, you get to use them all you want. So, you should do it
“This comedian Mr. Rodriguez is using the red arrow to make those women fall for him one after another, but it will only last for thirty-three days,” someone like Mr. Rodriguez using the arrow this way, would he ever be chosen to become the devil king? I then asked Mordecai what I just thought about. “Of course, any of the candidates can be chosen to be the new devil king, no matter how they use their powers,” he responded. Well, that confirms my question anyway, besides it’s the devil after all, I guess anything goes, someone like the devil would not care about bad things. ******************** The following morning, I was walking down the hallway of Harvard University, I just applied to study architecture, at least now that I have money, I can make one of my life long dreams come true. As I was walking, a loud beeping sound came from my cellphone inside my pocket, I took out my cellphone and looked at what the notification was. It was a news notification, I opened it. I saw t
As 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,
“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
, right after the entrance ceremony," she said in a low tone."Alright," I brought out my wings and flew up into the sky."I will meet you there!" I screamed as I flew away into the sky.As I was flying at lightning speed into the sky, I kept thinking of the immense love I have for Brianna. 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. Brianna didn’t react to what he said. **********************Trevor landed on Brianna’s balcony. He put his wings away and walked into Brianna’s room. He looked around the room. The room looked like that of a little girl; the carpets were pink with white stripes, the cabinets c
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
"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? What’s his concern if I don’t want to pursue any legal actions on the incident? I
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. He looked at his face in the mirror, as he touched the bandage on his face. Brianna was standing behind him.“The doctor said you can remove the bandage,” Brianna said in a soft tone.“I know, I’m
**********About three hours later in the hospital ward,Brianna was sitting on a chair at the side of Trevor’s hospital bed. She was holding his left hand while staring at him.“How did all this happen to you, babe?” She asked raising an eyebrow.“I don’t know but the police have arrested the waiter that poured the water on me, and they are currently investigating the accident to know whether it was intentional or not,” he answered.“OK, but I hate seeing you like this, how could something like this happen to you? 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
"Alright then, I trust you. You will have to wait for me to text you; it might not be tomorrow or next week, but once I text you, just know that you will have to be ready," he said calmly."Of course, I will make sure that I am ready," Duke replied.This is good; I believe that Duke will get the job done, Ezekiel thought.***After Duke had left Ezekiel’s apartment, he went into his bedroom and sat down at the edge of his bed as he took out his cellphone and dialed Trevor’s number. Trevor answered the call."Hey, it’s been a while since I heard from you; how have you been?" Ezekiel asked softly."I have been great; things are good, and how about you? Have you properly understood the city yet?" Trevor inquired with a lot of excitement in his voice."Yes, I have; I have taken the time to explore a few places in the city, and I must say Los Angeles is great.""That’s good to hear," Trevor muttered."I would like to know if you would have the chance to grab lunch with me tomorrow." Ezekie
"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?" Gabriel added."Brianna is currently staying with Trevor, her new boyfriend, and the person she plans on getting married to," Dalton answered."What! How could that be!" Gabriel yelled as he stood up from the couch with a huge frow
**********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
