204 Perfect picture (2/2)
Not only that. she looked further and realized that a huge line of people was formed around her, all of them locked in chains and stuck on the ground.
”What in the world is going on...??” Evlin whispered as she stood up in a panic. She wanted to get out of there but no matter where she looked there were even more people imprisoned like an endless sea of slaves.
”Yay!! You're up!!” a voice yelled behind her before she got pounced on and fell on the white floor.
”Ugh!!!”
”Good morning Evlin!!!” Mia shouted in her usual twelve-year-old form while standing on top of the seven-year-old.
”Mi- Mia?? What are you doing!?? What's happening!!!??” Evlin asked while feeling completely lost.
”I was making some preparations for tomorrow! Getting ready for the big day!” Mia replied while getting off from Evlin.
”Tomorrow...? Ah! The fight! The fight is tomorrow??”
”Sure is!! I can't wait!! I'm so happy that I can hardly sleep!!!” Mia mentioned while raising her fists and running in place.
”Happy...??” Evlin retorted. She hadn't seen Mia happy ever since forever, mostly because she assumed she couldn't be happy anymore, ”Mia... what happened to you?? You look...”
”Different? Why thank you for noticing!! You see... I followed your advice and finally rejoined with my lost half... So now I can feel all my emotions again!!” Mia explained while making a 'V' sign with her fingers.
”Your emotions?? But... Weren't you avoiding them to avoid becoming a demon...?”
”Yeah... But that ship has sailed...”
”What...?”
”I became a demon!!”
”... ... ... What!!??”
”Yeah!! It hurt a little at first... You know... Coming face-to-face with all the things I did, thinking about all the pain I caused... All the lives I took... It hurt... It hurt a lot...It hurt so much that I wanted to stab myself just so I could stop thinking about these things, hahaha!!” Mia commented while tearing up from her wide-open eyes and still holding a big smile.
”Mia...” Evlin was getting concerned.
”But it's ok! It's all fine! Knucker told me that everything would work out in the end! So even if it hurts a little bit, for now, I just have to keep holding it in until everything is settled...”
”Knucker...?? Mia, who the heck is Knucker...???”
”Oh, he's a dragon that I met that showed me a future where I actually get a happy ending!! Isn't that cool!!??” Mia asked while holding Evlin's hands and jumping up and down.
”A dragon...? Like the ones you ordered to attack my school??”
”Oh, I never ordered them... I tricked them into going after your school by using a stolen egg... I can't control dragons...”
”What...??”
”Yeah... I can only control beings of cursed energy... Things like monsters, demons, spirits, and all... And dragons are their own kind of thing...”
”Dragons aren't monsters...?? Wait! Back up a little! What did this Knucker show you??”
Mia stopped jumping and stared at Evlin, ”he showed me a future where you accept me into your family!!”
”Oh...” Evlin whispered.
”So all that talk about how you would take care of me and be my new mother and stay by my side?? Knucker showed me that wasn't just talk!! You really are going to do all that!!” Mia stated while giving Evlin a deep hug, ”I can already picture it!!”
”Wait a second...”
Mia tightened her grip on the girl, ”So that means I don't have to be afraid of my demon side anymore!!! I don't have to be afraid of having a hollow existence anymore!! I can just do whatever the hell I want and kill whoever the hell I want because now I know everything will be fine even after that!!”
”What!!?? Mia, wait!!”
”Thank you, Evlin!! You saved me!!!!” Mia said before completely vanishing and leaving Evlin alone with all the souls she imprisoned.
”Mia?? Mia!!!??” Evlin shouted before dropping on her knees and holding her head, ”what have I done...??”
She spotted Drya in chains on the ground raising her face and laughing at her, ”my hero!!”
