The mastermind

I am sitting on a chair that has been fixed to the ground. I am bound all over and completely immobile.

I look at the mastermind. The one who kidnapped me. Kidnap? This is the second time I have been kidnapped.

Not the second time in my life but the second time in a week.

“Hey, what time it is?”

“……”

No answer, huh. They are giving me the silent treatment.

“Don’t be so shy. Haven’t we known each other for a long time?”

I clearly know who the mastermind is. I just have to annoy HER. Yes, the mastermind is a woman.

Then someone came forth. From behind the darkness, someone came forth and stood right in front of me.

I look at the person. A rough jacket, totally yankee style. Blonde hair, which is actually bleached.

A nice face but her eyes are sharp. Her eyes, they still haven’t lost their allure.

Every time I look at those eyes, I get the shivers. Like a predator watching its prey.

She is tall and handsome. With a little effort, she could even pass for a man.

But that doesn’t mean s

I like it that way.”“Then, when was the last time you procreated?” (Doc)Did I hear that right? I can feel the twitch on my face.“Can you say it again? I think I heard something wrong.”“When did you last procreate?” (Doc)I can feel three intense gazes from my left. Their eyes are glowing. “Never.” The honest answer. It’s true though. I have been so busy that I never had the chance.“I see. Then the reports weren’t wrong. Next question, the last time you did a self action?” (Doc)I see. It’s THAT.“Around 7 years. Been a while.” I never had the time to do THAT either. “What is this THAT?” Ojou-sama asks. Of course she doesn’t know. She doesn’t need to know.“Well, sometim

  • His past 2

    After he was switched with Akito, his life began as the fake Akito. I remember that Masato hid a lot of things from us when we first met.And Serus said that he doesn’t remember much from his childhood. His memories were jumbled. Let’s see how his childhood went.The first year went by without any major problems. The Sakai couple didn’t notice anything wrong with Serus. However once Serus turned two, they started noticing it.He looked different from the both of them. And the seed of suspicion was sown. They kept investigating on their own until they instinctively knew that Serus wasn’t their child.And they totally changed. Serus was three years old when they started neglecting him. They didn’t feed him for days. Didn’t provide him the basic things a child of his age needs.It was heartbreaking to watch. But watching is all I can do. Because these have already occurred.The look in their eyes as they watched Serus cry for help, it was animalistic. Like they were possessed by somethin

  • His past

    (Ariel POV)Where am I? I remember that Serus died and Seina brought his soul in a bottle. I just remember drinking his soul and everything is a blank. Did I pass out?But this doesn’t look like Seina’s house. It’s dim and cold. There are many machines around here and there’s a big glass pod in the middle of the room.Panicking won’t help much. Keeping your wits about is the right thing to do. He always used to say that he likes my wits. Even if he is gone, his soul is with me. Let’s just survey the area for now.I make my way to the glass pod. It’s lit and there’s someone inside. The cylindrical pod is full of some sort of liquid and there’s a baby inside. The baby has a cord connected to its navel like an umbilical cord. But I can’t tell if it’s a boy or a girl. I look around for more information. The monitor is showing its vital signs. From what I can tell, it’s a completely healthy baby.But there’s something off. Why would a human baby be inside of a glass pod? Even if the baby

  • A nightmare

    What I am currently doing is something many would dream of. I am sleeping on Anais’s lap. It’s an experience that may never come again. Which is why I am thoroughly savoring this moment. This sensation, the feeling, I am burning these in my mind.Well, it would have been even more enjoyable if I wasn’t seeing the souls of the dead.I can clearly see the souls of the dead. Worst of all, I recognize all of them. During my time as a cleaner, I had to take out a lot of trash. They really were trash. I didn’t hesitate to get rid of them and now, they are in my face.“Get up, you freak!” One of them grabs me by the collar and drags me down. What’s interesting is that I fell down. But I didn’t feel any pain. And Anais disappeared. So, it is a dream. But her lap felt so real! I get up and look at the ghost. He was a small time drug dealer whom I took out in Egypt. Monga was the contractor. He bore ill will towards Monga and his family. I took him and his team out.It wasn’t anything speci

  • Results of the curse

    Anais put his head down on the bed and stood up. He looks like he is in a lot of pain.“What’s happening to him?” (Anais)“I guess he just got his punishment. Hmm…from the looks of it, it’s a curse. Eastern curses are hard to understand. But I think he is being haunted by a lot of souls. I’d say staying away from him would be the wise choice.” (Shankar)Anais ponders for a moment.“Is he in any immediate danger?” (Anais)“No. The curse itself won’t kill him. However he can die if his mind gives up. We should observe him for now. Besides, someone who specializes in curses is coming here soon.” (Shankar)“Do you mean that Ratri girl?” (Anais)“Yeah. She comes from a priest family. This man sure is well connected.” (Shankar)Anais and Shankar look at the sleeping Serus. His face is slightly contorted due to the curse manifesting in his dreams.On the other hand, Seina is explaining things to Mona and others. “Serus is not only being targeted in this world, he is a major target for the ou

  • Sinister punishment

    As I climb the stairs, it hits me. The pain is slowly spreading throughout my body. It didn’t hit me immediately but it’s there. So, I just have a delayed pain response. Still, that initial pain was only intense for a second. Now it’s a dull pain flowing through my body.I took the stairs to check my condition after that fall. Can I function normally or will I be unable to move afterwards? So far, the pain is the only thing that’s bothering me.Soon I reached the 20th floor and walk in the hallway. But the pain is clouding my consciousness. It’s intense.I was standing on my feet but I think I was unconscious. Because I have no idea how I entered the flat. When I came to, I was sitting on a sofa. I look around to check. Anais is sitting right next to me. She probably cried a bit. Her eyes are red and slightly swollen.“Anais, were you crying?”“I was. You made me cry, again.” (Anais)She seems upset. I guess it’s only normal.“Sorry. I just had to test it out.” “Who tests it out lik

  • Meeting the savior

    I was waiting to meet my savior while Anais is sticking close to me. I mean, why is she so close to me?“Anais, can you explain how your grandfather started working with a Japanese terrorist?” “That’s simple. After Akito busted them, the leader ran away. He went to Europe to get more help. However no one helped him. Because the Akito they knew was you.” (Anais)“It really was just a name problem. I was known as Akito so no one wanted to help him. And, what happened?”“The word of that man reached my grandfather. We knew who the real Akito was and who you were. So we teamed up with him to catch you. It took us a while to convince him that there were two Akitos.” (Anais)“Then you came to India where I was and abducted me. Did you send a word of my abduction to Akito?” “Yes. I think everyone knows by this time that you have been abducted. And this is a very simple plan so they have probably guessed as well what was happening.” (Anais)That’s true. So they won’t be coming. That’s a rel

  • The pact with the witch

    Where am I? I open my eyes to check. It’s dark and I can’t see. I am lying on something soft and something soft is touching me. The pain is still coursing through my body.I try to move myself but something is grabbing me tightly. There’s a tickling sensation on my neck.The soft sound of breathing, this softness, it’s a woman.What’s the last thing I remember? I had just broken free and was very weak. Anais suggested something ridiculous and that’s it. I don’t remember anything after that.“Anais, wake up.” I call her name to wake her up. But her grip got tighter. She’s gotten stronger. “Anais, wake up. You are strangling me.” I try to tap my hands to wake her up. “A…”Her grip loosened and she sat up, rubbing her eyes.“You woke up…” (Anais)She is still a bit drowsy but she seems to have woken up.“Yeah. Where are we?” “I asked one of your followers to shelter us. He arranged this place for us and transported us here. Then you were treated. I have to say, you are something els

  • Someone, kill me!

    Being crucified like this isn’t a bad thing. The pain is almost gone. But I won’t heal like this either. It’s been two days. They didn’t feed me or gave me water.I wonder if they really want to kill me. Then I would suggest crushing my heart or head. Those would instantly kill me. If they want to torture me and slowly kill me, I would suggest letting me bleed.My bleeding would most probably stop before it’s fatal so they will have to try a little harder if they want to go that route.My mouth hasn’t been gagged. But I have no one to talk to.I have been thinking about this situation. The conclusion I came to is very simple. That Japanese dude wants Akito. So he abducted me. Maybe to lure him here.The French wanted me. So they cooperated with each other. How did they find out who I was? Or am I overthinking it? Maybe they abducted me knowing I am Akito. Because I have used his name for 25 years of my life. Or more like my whole life. I can’t be sure. So I can only wait. Am I even i

  • He is unbelievable

    (Mona POV)The self proclaimed vampire Seina gave us an explanation. His explanation was a bit hard to follow since I prefer to think logically. It took me a few moments to truly understand what he was saying.“Anyway, as long as Serus doesn’t do anything, he should be fine.” (Seina)I was about to ask him something but someone got a message on their phone.It turned out to be Mr. Sakai. He looked at his phone and suddenly dropped his phone.“What happened, dad?” (Akito)He couldn’t say anything. He just kept pointing at his phone. When Akito picked it up, his face distorted. What did he see?“What is the matter, Akito?” (Masato)“It seems that Serus is in trouble.” (Akito)How can that guy be in trouble? Didn’t he escape from the troubles?“What happened?” (Masato)Akito passed the phone to Masato. But he didn’t let me or other girls see.“This is serious. At this rate, Serus will die before he will normally die.” (Masato)What’s happening? How can Serus be in life threatening situati
