Secret of Evangeline

Walking around the world. I think I have to go. I've been walking around for hours. Guess there is nothing more to do... As I spread my beautiful white wings and began to jump, I fly high in the air. The wind is smooth. It feels so soft. Part of the things why I love this wings.

" Why did you leave me... You promised to stay. You said we will be together forever! Why did you leave me alone. Love, I can't live happily without you. Please, Don't go without saying goodbye. I want to see you... I want to hug you and lock you up in my embrace just like what we always do... even for the last time? Love... just one last time. I... just can't... I can't believe you are gone."

I saw a man kneeling beside a tomb. It looks to be newly created. Not to my surprise, there was a girl was beside him. Wearing pure white dress. The only thing I can say is that... What a beautiful soul she is. I do have wrong guesses some times. Well... Looks like my work is not yet done.

I celebrated too early huh

"Plea- please. Just one last time. P- ple-ase love. I want to hug- you and say good-bye. Please . Please.!" He shouted crying.

Facing the ground. The girl was crying too. The aqua green eyes of hers is letting the tears go down to her rosy cheeks. Wearing a white dress, her feet is wearing nothing for it never touches the ground. She hug the man from the back. Even if she can't touch him or even feel his warmth, she kiss the deep blue hair of him.

'Sorry L-love. Love I'm so sorry. I don't want to go but it is not as if I do have any choice. I don't have any other option than leave this world. I -want to hug you... walk with you.. talk to you for one la-st chance but... I know I can't. You can't hear me. I'm so sorry lo-ve. I'm sorry"

I'm wrong. I thought I don't have any work for this day but I am wrong. I let out a sigh and took balance to stand straight not far from them. The flapping wings surely causes some air to be released.

"Now by the power you lend me. " I look up in the sky and closed by eyes. I smiled

" I will use it now. Can't I?"

I teleport near them. The girl saw me.

" You want to talk to him one last time..." I asked with a sweet smile in my lips.

" Don't you?"

She let go of him and stand in front of me, wiping the tears she had produced.

" Of course, I do! Who are you? Can you help me? I'll do any just please give us chance to talk to each other and see each other. Please... I beg of you..." she kneeled as tear drops fall in her eyes.

Weird but, she can't touch the ground. Just like any other ghost.

"If you say so. Now talk to each other for one last time" she smiled and go near the man. I sway my hands and the bow appeared in my sight together with the arrows. I took two and the color of it turns blue with white.

Means that whoever good things desire will come true. But it would just last till they fulfilled what they want. Looking at them, is it bad for a demon like me to wish for their happiness? I smile and headed home.

Indeed, maybe I am the weird one.

In my house from the underworld. With Sakura all around it... I sat in the bench feeling relieve that once again... I did something great. I am demon... Who would ever think I will help humans. Even I wonder how this kind of thing is possible.

No one ever dare to think of it. But not him. He is really a weird one too. That presence that was residing behind the clouds. I can say that he is really great and amazing. He really is something.

I closed my eyes and feel something touch my nose. Now what may it be? I wonder...

As I open my eyes, I then saw a butterfly. White butterfly. It fly up and down and turns into a soul.

" Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help ...-" I smiled and stand up fixing my black suit.

" Fallen. And I am the kindest evil. It is my free will to do that dear soul. " she smiled back.

" Thanks a lot angel of darkness. You're really kind for an angel. Thanks" she bowed.

" I'm a demon" why do they always think I'm an angel. I am nothing but a kind demon. Right? And the most pretty one. Flaming in gorgeous. I smirk.

"You are?!" She said with disbelief as her hands are both covering her lips.

"I am. The only demon with the angel heart... that is what he said. Well, but for me, I am but a demon who defies demons. Now, now, let us end this chit chat and let's go to the heaven's gate. Shall we?" She nodded and in one blink, we were there. I don't know if she will enter that gate of fall in hell. It is up to her. But... I believe she would enter nonetheless.

I just go home and I fly to enjoy my way back there. Teleporting is nice but... flying is much better. It... makes me feel free.

'Do not forget the contract fallen. You are now a demon and will never be able to die because you are immortal. Just remember don't do anything that will ruin the image of us devils.

We are death causer, we are evil... the contrast of live. So now go and nourish your abilities fallen.' I remember what my demonic dad said once.

I surely did ruin their image, right? but the hell I care? I'm evil to those who deserve it and kind to those who need help.

The sun go down as the skies get dark. It's beautiful. Darkness is really amazing. Stars with different color twinkled above. Indeed, it is true that the darkness is a beauty. That the darkest night produces the brightest light.

"So, what should I-"

I stopped as I felt something strange. This... was different than what I have felt before. Not having any idea, I, the princess of this land underneath... fall on my knees as the hurtful feeling tainted my heart. I can't breathe...

[Fallen, I have warned you but you never listen to me]

"Sh- shut up..."

I stated, hardly having a hold on my words.

Indeed, demons are fed up with evil doings. We live and get stronger due to that. What I did is contrary of it. Which means that... what will happen to be is also a contrary of getting stronger.

"Princess fallen, the great demon king is looking for you"

And there I saw various of demons surrounding me. Just as I thought... they would come after me.

I was just a little child. Wanting nothing but happiness and love. Yet, at the young age... I saw the real figure of what world really is.

'Mama, papa here flowers for both of you.' I giggled.

'Thanks baby, you are so sweet.' She kissed me in cheeks.

If I know that is the last time, I would feel like that... I should have made it last longer. Suddenly the door burst open. Letting use see peoples outside having deadly weapons on their hands.

Papa just stand and go outside calming everyone.

"Hey all of you calm down... don't make all things worse... we can solve it without killing. Can you all put that down.?" They all laugh playfully and stop putting disbelief faces.

I was scared.

" Calm down, don't do killing? How can we?"

" Yeah, after all that we have discovered, you want us to believe in you?"

"Come on, we do not want to die and in order to live, we have to kill all of you"

" We can't let you kill us monster!!!"

" Just like your father, it is possible for you to not do that for it is in your blood!!"

They all shout with unison. In their eye we are now monster? My papa is monster? He always help others... how could they say that... They can't kill him. I run in front of papa.

"Stop. All of you stop. What did papa do to let you think of killing us? Papa help you with all his heart. He loved and trust all of you. How come you want to kill the person who prolong your life? Who make your life better. All papa want is to help you all!!"

I cried. I shouted on top of my lungs.

"Just... why do you want to kill us..." I then wipe my tears who is unconsciously falling down to my cheeks "we have done you no wrong..."

They just laugh like a demons and devils in my eyes. The killing intention of them isn't a lie.

They do think of killing me and my parents. That is for sure.

I want to cry and cry. I want to tell them that they are wrong. I was about to say other words but was stopped. I don't know what I should do... Until my best friend run in front of me smiling.

" Don't worry I believe you and uncle. The truth is-" he whispered

" father and mother want to help you so now go and escape and I will buy you time just be safe, okay?" I nodded and about to hug him but he declined. He was now holding a knife that he was holding in his back.

" Go! You need to run now. Just run with uncle and auntie. Mom and dad is waiting in your back yard. I love you and please don't forget me bye " he whispered and shout something all I hear is

" hahaha running? Go just run after all I will kill you and we will kill you family... my dear friend."

I know it's just a play but it hurts my heart. We run backyard and saw Tito and tita. We ride the cart and all I hear is shouting of peoples cheering as my best friend run after us. He put the knife down and jumped the cart but before he did, he was shot by a gun. I look behind him and saw the man who did that. I cried and was about to jump down to get him but before I did the cart run and Tito jump down.

I look at my best friend. He just smile and wave his hands. That red orbs. Those red hair... I will miss him. I can't find a way to save him. Is he going to die? He can't. We are best friends forever and ever.

'We can still be best friends even if I die '

I remember what he said this morning. I can't let my eyes of him. Tito was about to shoot the man who killed his son but get stab by the others. My dad can't handle it. He was going to jump but tita don't let him. They switch places and dad is the one who drove the carriage.

Tita then said "Alcalix , Marsa don't die. Protect her and never think you are the reason of this. We did it with our own free will. This is the only way to pay all the kindness your family did to mine. We love you and our life is made to protect you all. Thanks for the happy memories. That's all me and my husband want to say. Farewell my dear friends."

She jump and shoot who ever dare to run after us till she was killed by them. We just cry. I don't know what to do. I closed my eyes and let the darkness swallow me.

This is not true... right? This is just a dream... no. A nightmare. This is not true...

I open my eyes and we were all sleeping inside the carriage. It was crashed in a tree and I can see dad crying and telling it's all his fault.

" That damn cursed. Why of all people they choose me? I... why me. I will not kill others for revenge. Why do they want me to do that. I won't step on the same path dad had go through. I can escape it. I can. !!"

He is crying hugging mom who is unconscious. I crawl beside them. Hugging them both. Me as a 14 years old girl do experience those things, I can't help but cry. I stop crying as I feel a cold hand touching mine. Mama.

"Baby are you okay?" Her eyes was red. Looks like we all did cry. She lost her best friend. We all lost the best people in our life. They die in order to protect us.

To keep us alive...

Everything was painful. I have no idea what I should do. So that wasn't a dream...

We were silent... Then all we feel was heat.

The carriage is burning. Papa was able to get out and about to pull both mama and me. All I know is that heat touch my skin. Same for mama. Papa can't do anything because there is no water nor anything to stop the fire.

I feel pain. The scream I let out break my father's heart into pieces. He just kneeled. Crying and punching the ground. I hug mama.

"I love you mama, papa I love you. I will always will."

I shout as I push mama away the cart. She isn't burned just some bruised and the fire didn't touch her but still she did get little burn because I push her in the fire to get her out the cart. I successfully did that. All I know is I'm in pain.

My dress was burned. I'm in so much pain. I don't want to let anyone feel pain like this. I want to give them chance to live happy. Aki just wait for me. I'll be with you again.

We can be best friends again... I mumbled to my self

And there... I don't feel the pain. I don't feel anything. I just keep my smile. What would happen to me now? I don't know. Mama... papa... stay alive. Be happy. I love you both.

I know that this happens for a reason. Now I have to find out why.

I open my eyes. I was here lying on the grass. I look around. Is... it... a... Paradise.

Everything was covered with a colorful sky. There is a lot of Sakura here. Where am I? I was wearing my dress just like what I wear a while ago. I accept the fact that I'm dead. I can't believe that I was here standing in a paradise. I look around... my long black hair is swaying. As I walk around, I braid the half top of my hair but just a little portion of it. I finished braiding it and saw my band in my hand. I used it to let my braid be like that.

My baby blue eyes widen when I saw a beautiful house. Wow tree house? No just a little cute house.

I was so happy to see such a cute little house.

You would not believe me. It's just a small house but inside it's like 50x bigger. I was so amazed. So amazed that I was a bit surprised when I notice a woman standing in front of me sitting in her soft fluffy red cotton like couch.

She is sipping a tea. It looks like a blood? Who would drink a blood? Vampire of course. I smile and asked.

" Are you a vampire?" She chuckled.

"I am not. I am a demon. The demon princess of hell." She smiled but her smile fade away. I was curious why?

" What is wrong? Why are you sad?" She smiled bitterly and gestured her finger. She wants me to go near her. I did just as what she wanted. She hold my shoulder.

" I want to live. I don't want this power anymore. I want to live like a human. I don't want to be immortal forever." She cried.

Demon princess POV

Hahaha it looks like I can fool this girl. Just eat my trap you brat.

"How may I help you?" That fast? I don't want to be immortal though I can bargain with her.

" Do you want to be immortal and have powers? You can use it whenever you want. In exchange... you can't be reincarnated and can't live as a human again. Would you like it? "

I fell lively. Will she say yes ? Will she say no? I want to be human now. I hate father. I don't want to live like this. Just say yes already. I made a puppy eyes using my bloody red eyes. My hair was red but have shade of black on its tip. I put my hands in her cheeks and use my power to manipulate her and say in my mind

' say yes'

her lips move and spoke

''sorry but I'll think about it. I have to find Aki first and I want to live again and I want to help everyone but I'll think of it.''

She then left. I was here staring speechless. How come. She isn't affected by my power?

Why? Who is she? Interesting girl...

Back to her POV

I walk away. I think if I should accept her offer. It sure have upside downs and I should know its disadvantage. After all,... I just want to help and I can't help others if I become a demon.

Can I?

Shaking my head letting go of my thoughts... what I need to do is to find Aki. I know he died. Well did he die? There could be possibilities that he's alive. Now where to go? I have to find him but where to start and how is mama and papa doing, are they still alive?

What should I do? I sit in the ground with my hands on my head.

" What to do?" I ask myself multiple times already.

I don't know. I give up and just lay on the grass where I was sitting. I almost walk in this entire paradise yet I don't know where to go and what to do. As I open my eyes after closing it for hours, I saw the sky.

It's dark but I would speak the truth if I say... it is beautiful. The aurora was amazing. My eyes was fascinated by its color. It just match my eyes. They are both blue. I love it. Suddenly... someone ruin my happiness. A hand sway side by side in my sight. I let out a grunt and about to shout that person but stop on what saw. I didn't let any chance go. I hug him tight. I start to cry.

It was as if my hand and body move on its own.

"Why did you do that? Why did you risk your life for me and my parents. Do you think I will be happy if I knew you are gone? Why did you do that? tell me!"

I slightly punch his chest. Tears dropping down from my eyes. I look at his face.

No emotion.

*I blink*

Still no emotion

* raise my eyebrow.*

"What do you think you're doing Aki? It's not funny" I cross my arms as I wipe my tears.

Yet. There's no changes.

I was worried. What happened. I know it is not him. He can't stand to let me worry. But he look exactly like Aki. His red orbs. Those bloody hair color. Its him. I can't forget his scar in hands. I was the one who stitched it. I look at him from bottom to top. He wearing a black sandals. Black pants with black belt. Black v shirt sando look. He's wearing a hoodie that the back side almost touching the ground. I just notice his holding a scythe. A black one. I look at him one more time analyzing him.

"Who are you? Why do you look like Aki a lot.? I ... what... can you explain it to me. I don't understand..." I sway my hand away from each other. He sit down in the grass and the scythe turns into a fireflies and got it inside his palm. I won't say it's not jaw dropping. I'm so amazed!

" How did you do that?" I smile and go near him. Still, he do no emotion.

"Look little girl..." Aki? It's his voice but why?

" I am a grim reaper." Huh do every reaper look like Aki? Do they have one with my face?

" And I looked like the one you called Aki? It's because I am a grim reaper without identity. So, whoever see me, they saw someone they want to see. Did you get it kiddo? " I nodded.

" hmm is that so? You really looked like him and your voice they sound like his. Can I ask? Where is he?" Maybe he knows. I smile waiting for his answer.

"I don't know." My smile fade. Now just like his. My face is unreadable.

" Why are you here? I have to get you and cut your chest so your memories will be erased and you will go to the gate of heaven. You'll enter there it's up to you if you would like to live again. If you can't enter the heaven, you will be dropped in the hells pit and you have a choice. You can make a contract to a demon. But only if they are a high class. It's up to you both what would be the price and that's all." My hopes fade.

" Can you not take my memories?" I was now hopeless.

" I can't "

What?!?! I am surely miserable. I die at a young age and now here I am talking to a grim reaper after I have talk to the demon princess--- Wait. Yeah, I can escape in this. I have a chance to find Aki and help others. Hehe now what to do to escape this guy.

"So now please tell me your name" huh for what? Maybe if he calls my name, he will have authority to stab me? I can't tell him. What is my name? I can't tell him--- yet wait a minute. I don't even remember my name?! They just call me sweetie... or baby that's all I remember. I hold my head and whispered

"What the?-- What is my name?" I shook my head and let out a smile.

"I don't know my name Mr. grim reaper. I'm sorry but I don't really know."

He smiled and "you smiled?" He give me a questioning look.

"Yes, I still have emotions though. I guess it's time to use this gadget they gave me." He put his hands together and clap it. When he put his upper hand up slowly, I saw a gun. I step backward. A gun---no laser gun?! What can that thing do?

" Now I will know everything you know." He point the gun in my head and a red laser was pointed in my head directly to my brain. Huh what did he think he is doing?! What would I do? He pull the trigger and I feel nothing. I open my eyes and my eyes dropped as I saw a transparent board coming from my eyes. Mr. grim reaper was here beside me. Reading the things project in my eyes.
