Chapter 9 (Part 2)
He approached me and stroked Azi’s head. He then gave me a friendly smile.
“I’m Orejon, and you’re Seraphina, right?” I was surprised to learn that he knew who I was.
He chuckled when saw my reaction.
“I’m sorry if I appear creepy to you. By the way, I’m one of your classmates. I really want to approach you, but I guess you’re too silent.” He even stroked his nape like he was embarrassed.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
But I simply can not find myself smiling, even though I know I should. I don’t want to be impolite. So, even though I couldn’t breathe, I tried to smile. I’m sure I’m turning pale as well. I’m having panic attacks again. I tried to relax, especially when I noticed he was interested in how I looked. I took a deep breath and repeated it until I felt a little more at ease.
Then I heard my phone beep. I grabbed you and read the text right away.
From: Unknown Number Seraphina babes, get out of there. My twin might die. – Samael, your babes.
My lips parted as I searched for them in the vicinity, but I couldn’t find them.
The man grabbed me so I quickly walked away from him.
“I’m sorry, is that your boyfriend?” I simply shook my head and bowed to him afterward more.
I was about to walk away when he grabbed my elbows. “I’m sorry, but I really need to speak with you about something.” He said it seriously. My brow furrowed; what does he want us to talk about?
“Do you know, Kate?” He knows Kate, my eyes glistened.
I swallowed and nodded. I noticed him gritting his teeth. Trying not to burst out about something.
Before releasing his grip on me, he let out a breath.
“Are you free?” When I was about to respond, I heard a yell.
“Fuck, Azazel!”
Someone drew me away even before I could look around. His grip was so tight that it almost felt like he was straining my wrist. It hurt, but I couldn’t speak because I was in surprise. Azazel has me dragged somewhere. I attempted to escape, but he was stronger than me. He shoved me up against a wall. And when he turned to face me, his eyes were furious.
But I don’t know where I got the guts to push him and even slapped him.
With the force of my slap on him, his face turned to the side. My lips parted, and my eyes widened as I realized what I had done. I can’t believe I did something like that. I’ve never been a fan of violence. I swallowed and bit my lower lip so hard. My fist clenched as he grinned at me.
And for a brief moment, he pressed me against the wall. Both of his hands were on my neck. strangling me to death I parted my lips to catch a breath of fresh air. I attempted to break free from his grip but it was too tight.
His jaw is clenched in rage.
“I-I c-can’t b-b-breat-t-the…”
He released his stranglehold on me. I took a deep breath. And I closed my eyes when he punched the wall. I could tell it hurt, but there was no shrieking. It was as if he was numb to such a thing. My tears began to fall one by one. I was terrified of him and hurt. I’m not sure. I’m confused.
“I told you we were going to have a fucking talk today.” His voice was low, but I could sense the rage he was suppressing.
“A-And I-I t-told-d y-you t-that I-I don-n-n’t w-want…”
When I felt his hand on my neck, I closed my eyes even tighter. Will he strangle me again?
“You don’t want me to do something bad to you, hmm?” He pressed his body against mine. “Don’t make me hurt you any more than I already did, Sera.”
His hand moved from my neck to my wet cheek. I was still in tears. He stroked my cheek as if wiping away tears. Even though I wanted to open my eyes, I was terrified of meeting his enraged stare.
“I want to be gentle with you, so don’t try my patience.”
My sobs became more ferocious as I felt his lips on my cheek. “P-Please, A-Don’t-z-zel l-let m-me g-go.”
“No.” I opened my eyes and cried even harder. I sobbed uncontrollably, as I can feel his lips on my neck.
“N-No, p-please. L-Let m-me g-go, A-Azazel. I-I’m a-affra-i-id o-of y-you.”
He came to a halt and fixed his gaze on me. He quickly let me go. In extreme weakness, I sat down. And yet, for a brief moment, I was able to relax. Then get up and walk away from him. He was cursing and kicking the trash can. Nevertheless, I didn’t look back.
I left him and returned home. I was confused by what had happened until I got home.
How did Samael get my phone number? I haven’t given them my phone number yet, as far as I know. I shut my eyes. I remember what happened to me yesterday and what I learned. Especially what happened between Azazel and me earlier. I’m just glad he didn’t follow me. Because I didn’t know what to do if he followed me.
Maybe I’ll talk to them sometimes. I’ll tell him what I found. I need to hear their side of the story. Maybe I’m just wrong about what I’m thinking, and Eyla is just playing me. I’m not sure. I’m well aware of how foolish I am. I’m absolutely baffled.
What about the pictures that I saw? It doesn’t look like an edited picture.
I shook my head and lay in my bed.
Right now, I don’t want to see them. I need to calm down first before speaking to them, to him. I leaned in and closed my eyes. I’m still thinking about how I feel.
My chest tightens even now. Is this still considered normal? I was in agony not because Eyla said they were just tripping me out, but because Azazel is already Eyla’s boyfriend.
When I felt another odd pain in my heart, I bit my lower lip.
Before I decided to go out again, Azi was already sleeping. I went to my parents’ grave to caress their tombstone with their names engraved on it. It’s my way to calm down myself.
Ameria Fernandez and Seraphim Fernandez.
As I caressed their graves, I smiled. I really miss them. There are no days or nights when I don’t think about them. I always miss them. I want to feel their cuddles again. I wish I could feel their hugs and kisses every day. If only I could go b ack in time. I just wish I died with them. But I know they don’t like what I’m thinking. They took care of everything for me. They did everything they could to keep me alive. I should be grateful.
