Faith's POV:
"Lady Faith are you listening? Are you with us?"
I came back to my trance when our Prof called me. I nodded and looked straight ahead. Why am I spacing out? My mind is flying again. Here I am, Faith. Focus on studying first.
Just as the bell rang, our Prof went out, I thought I would be scolded even more. I breathed a sigh of relief. Dylan's cold gaze met my eyes.
"Why is there a problem?" I asked him.
Dylan just shook his head and fixed his things. In the past two days, he has been cold towards me. I'm just sad.
I can only ask myself if I did something wrong? Is there something wrong with me? To us? Or did I miss something? Hey, I don't know.
We walked together to the cafeteria. We are silent, I am not used to his treatment like this. He is really cold.
"Dylan are we alright?" I asked him and stopped walking.
"Of course." He said blankly and continued walking without looking at me.
There were tears in my eyes but I immediately wiped them and chased after him. We entered the cafeteria and suddenly Dylan's mood changed.
"Hey, how are you?" He greeted our friends and sat down first.
I smiled at them so my two female friends wouldn't notice. Dixon and Turnitin ordered now.
Why so? Even though we were in hell and it was hot, I could feel Dylan's piercing cold gaze. I want to pull him and talk to him about why he is like that but I don't have the courage.
We ate but I didn't say much. They are loud and when I am asked I just nod my head. George noticed that he asked me.
"Faith, are you okay? You seem to be quiet right now?" George asked.
"I'm fine, I just feel bad." I said smiling.
"Oh Faith, maybe you're pregnant. We're dead." Dixon teased so Prime threw a fork at him.
I just shook my head at Dixon's stupidity. That's crazy, I thought I was going to get pregnant, Prime said that's not the case.
Nolanth and I did real vampire sex considering vampires. Nolanth is paying for what he did now but he said to me when we talked, "I just removed the bond on your body, you will thank me one day," he said.
But Nolanth's parents told me that only with vampires can that be considered vampire sex. That's why it's said to be a vampire.
We finished eating and went to the meeting room. Dad called us for a meeting. It looks like they have something to announce.
We went to the meeting room together but Dylan still treated me coldly. Is it because of what happened in the past? I need to talk to him later. Even I would be jealous then. I just don't want to dwell on what happened and I might lose my mind forever.
We entered the meeting room. The Sinners are complete because Dylan is with us.
"You all sit down." Father's order.
We sat down, Dylan sat next to me. I thought he wouldn't sit beside me anymore, I was really sulking. I felt a little joy.
"This meeting is for the upcoming meeting of angels and demons in a week. Fiend, you explain." Dad called Fiend.
"In a week when the meeting of angels and demons will be held. George, Lyra, Dixon, and you Faith will be there. You have to prepare for whatever may happen. We know Medan, for sure he has planned something again. " Bella's introduction.
"Are we going back?" Dixon asked.
Lyra is not there because she is still in the vampire clan. She was there temporarily because of Kief. What will Medan's reaction be?
"Yes, your suspension is over. But it just depends if you don't want to come back and join the uprising that will happen." Belle answered.
"We will fight for the rights of humanity against Medan. That angel-like demon must be deposed from his throne. If we don't do that, he will enslave everyone for the rest of his life." My father explained.
"Should we rebel? How?" Dylan asked.
I looked at him. There is a trace of curiosity in his eyes. I hope that when he talks to me, he is also interested.
"Through George, Dixon, and Lyra. If they are on our side we can establish the war between heaven and earth." Dad answered.
So many will be hurt? But why is there still a need for war when we can have a good conversation? But I also don't think that will work for him. Those angels are too sadistic and passionate.
That Medan did set up Conqueror Games for his own fun. The demons were made an excuse because they are like pawns or slaves, he is also the one who benefits because he is the one who controls everything.
Our meeting continued and they explained some more. It was also said that we will not enter again tomorrow because we will be going to the Upper World first to train.
Our meeting ended and we went out as friends. I had just followed Dylan when my father called me so I turned my gaze to him.
"Why?" I asked and approached him.
He was left behind, Uncle Mephisto and Ms. Ruller here. It seems they all have something to explain to me.
"Faith, don't be surprised by what we say." Introduction by Ms. Ruller.
"I'm used to being surprised. What is that? What are you going to say?" I asked. I was taken to Dylan when they said we were in the hospital.
"Celestia is still alive, Faith. Your mother is alive." Dad said so I screamed.
"What!?" I asked the three of them in disbelief.
How did that happen? My two eyes clearly saw the horrible death of my mother in the Conqueror Games. Her brutal death that tightened my fist.
"That's true, so you need to get stronger so we can get your mother back. We found out she's still alive because of the angel's bond she placed on you. That bond has been holding back your emotions since you were a child. Your power is out. Your emotions control your ability, Faith. So you have to be careful using it from now on." Dad's explanation made my tears fall.
I hugged him and cried on his shoulder. I could feel him rubbing my back. Is this the feeling of a father's love? It will be more fun if we are complete.
"Sit down, Faith. You're too big to cry anyway." Dad said so I let go of our hug and hit him.
I am very happy because mom is alive. We are sure to be a happy family. The problem is, can they both get back together?
"We have a problem." Uncle Mephisto interrupted our moment.
"What is it?" I will ask.
"Celestia is in Medan's pot now. And what worries us all more, you have a sibling Faith, Celestia's child with Medan." Uncle Mephisto said, making my eyes widen.
It was like Uncle Mephisto dropped a bomb that startled me. How did that happen? How old is he? I can not believe it. I never knew that for the life of me! I thought I was an only child!
Is he male or female? Can we get along? How old is he?
"What's his name? Who is he?" I asked them.
"We don't know yet so we have to find a way. We'll know all the information soon." Answered by Ms. Ruller.
Our conversation ended so I went to my room. Dad also left with the two Ruler Sins because they said they had something else to attend to.
I went straight to my closet and got track pants and a plain gray shirt. I quickly showered and got dressed.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror while blowing my hair. My face shows sadness and stress. I just sighed and took my cellphone before going out.
I didn't realize that my feet had taken me to the opposite side of Dylan's room. I knocked and after a few minutes he opened the door.
"What brought you here?" He asked coldly.
"Just visiting." I said with a sigh.
I went in and sat on his sofa. He was just watching a movie here, there was still popcorn on the table. He didn't even invite me? It makes me sulky.
Dylan sat next to me. He didn't even come over to even talk to me and ask how I was. What is the problem?
"Dylan, is there a problem? Why are you treating me so coldly?" I asked him and faced him.
Dylan didn't pay attention to me and just watched TV. The expression on his face was blank and he didn't seem to care about me. It's like I'm not here next to him.
Because of my annoyance, I stood up and simply pulled the plug of his TV. Dylan's face showed annoyance when I faced him. Why is he still the one who feels like getting angry?
"What is your problem?" he asked.
"You Dylan, I'm asking you what the problem is! Why are you acting cold towards me? I thought we talked about Nolanth?" I asked him.
Dylan brushed his face with his palam and stood up. He came to me and faced me. Oh, and he's the one who really is acting likek this! Argh, I'm really annoyed!
"Yes, there's no problem?" He said blankly.
"There, that's the problem Dylan. Why are you treating me so coldly? Are you sick of this? You don't want us anymore?" I asked and pushed his shoulder.
"Faith, I'm tired. Let's talk tomorrow-"
"Fuck this Dylan, where did you get tired!? We'll just talk, you're avoiding me again! What's really the problem!?" I shouted at him.
I couldn't stop cursing and crying. He was my first boyfriend but why is this? Did I also think that he waited for me for a long time and then he still felt like doing this?
"You are not ready for this kind of relationship, Faith." He explained calmly.
I gasped and cried even more. I just stared at Dylan, his facial expression didn't change at all. He had no doubts about what he said.
"Not ready? But you flirted with me? Why Dylan, what did I do? Let's talk about it." I spoke and held his hand.
Dylan shook his hand and moved slightly away from me. My tears began to fall even more.
This is the pain. It should have been the first time I prepared myself to be hurt.
"Let's stop this, Faith. I don't want it anymore." Dylan said so I softened.
I ran our distance and hugged him. I cried on his shoulder, luckily he didn't push me.
"Please, let's talk this out, if there is a problem. Don't act like this." I whispered softly.
"You're not even ready-"
"What's not ready!? Do you want me to party more so you know I'm ready!? How old am I Dylan? 12 years old!? We spent seven years in the games, I already know that so don't make excuses like that to me!" I yelled at Dylan and pushed him.
"What are you-"
"You say you don't like me anymore because you immediately saw someone else! You say you're fed up with me that's why it's like this-"
"Yes, Faith, I'm fed up! Let's stop this nonsense! I thought my love for you was still the same as before, but now that we've tried, I don't feel anything anymore! I'm sorry, this is how far we'll go." Dylan said making me cry.
I tried to wipe my tears that started to fall. Dylan's expression showed no sadness at all. Fuck this shit, is everything like this?
"Is that what you want? Alright, let's go this far. If everything is this easy for you, it's also easy for me to leave you." I held my head high when I said that and patted him on the shoulder before running out.
I ran down the hallway to my room and immediately opened the door. This is where I cried and cried. Bullshit it hurts! Big time!
"That is all we have got." I whispered in the air, hays.
I just stared blankly while sitting on the floor. This is me again, the feeling of being alone.
That person you hope for, will leave you at the time you need him. The pain, so much pain.
But even though Dylan did that to me, I love him very much. So much.
Faith's POV:
We are now here in the Upper or Heavenly Realm, they are welcoming us. Many were even surprised because they didn't expect there to be creatures like us. I can't get their reaction out of my mind. Somehow the pain I was feeling was relieved.
It seems like just yesterday but it's been almost a week since Dylan and I broke up. There was absolutely no trace of sadness on his handsome face. Our friends didn't even know we were done.
Hey, I don't know where I went wrong. Maybe he still thinks of me as a child? If he wants an old woman, he should find a senior citizen. He is lazy.
He still treated me coldly, there was nothing I could do. I'll give him time first because he might just be confused. Hopefully Dylan is just confused. I can't lose him. Because this dumbass gave me the motive to love me so much and then he will just leave me in the air.
I got dressed and changed into training clothes. We are here today at Immortal Academy, Alexa Adams will be training with me today because she is the father's favorite. I'm a little excited and nervous. She's a soul eater!
I came out of my dorm, which is the lodge as they call it. I walked to the arena where we were supposed to be training. They have a large area in this land. Maybe it's almost half of Dark Academy.
When I arrived at the arena I saw that they were ready. We are all wearing this Immortal Academy PE uniform. I feel like I'm back in the Human Realm, in the mortal world.
"Are you ready?" Alexa asked me.
I smiled at her and went to the center. I'm nervous because I don't have much power and another thing, she's very strong. She can absorb souls. What do I have against that?
"I do not know." I said so we both laughed.
My eyes caught a man who looked a bit like Alexa. Are they siblings? They are beautiful creatures. I recognised the face of the girl she's with, Diana Winchester I think.
"Go Faith! You can do it!"
"Go go go!"
Prime and Rovery cheering me on.
"Go baby! Alexanatics solid mambaba!" Alexa's husband, Laxon, shouted.
I saw Alexa roll her eyes so I secretly smiled. Could Dylan and I be the same now if we hadn't broken up? It's envious. The two are perfect.
Alexa and I have settled down, she let out her wings. It was black in color while her eyes turned gold, cool. Nervousness is starting to flow through my system.
I floated and started forming an energy ball in my hands. I wish I could hit her at least once, it's a shame. Why Alexa immediately? There's Prime, I can't hit her already!
"Game!" Turnitin shouted so Alexa started rushing.
I was surprised because of her speed. She immediately managed to punch me in the stomach so I fell to the ground.
"Fight! Feel your surroundings!" Alexa shouted at me.
I stood up and rushed to her. I tried to hit her with my energy ball but she just dodged.
She rushed at me again so I tried to fly away. She immediately chased after me and grabbed me by the neck.
"W-Why is that? You don't have a soul?" Alexa asked in shock while staring into my eyes.
I took that opportunity to punch her in the face. I immediately threw an energy ball at her so she was slightly moved away.
"Shit." I whispered.
Alexa suddenly rushed at me and grabbed me by the neck again. She took me up so I couldn't do anything. I guess I made her angry!
I have to fight, I'm stronger than her. I can do it, I know. Shit Faith, fight! You will die!
I tried to do what I did with Dixon. I gestured again and to my great surprise Alexa fell backwards down.
I flew down to Alexa. I was about to punch her but she dodged so quickly that almost half of my arm sank into the ground.
"Fuck!?" I screamed in shock.
I pulled my hand and looked for Alexa. I can really do that!? Impossible!
I heard her weak movement, I even had vampire blood in my body. That's why my senses are still strong.
I quickly rushed to her and grabbed her by the neck. I released energy from my hand making her cry out in pain.
I was surprised to let her go when she got a burn on her neck. I also feel the heat of my whole body.
"Ahhh!"
I screamed as my back suddenly felt hot. I also felt that something wanted to escape from my palms so I put it on the ground and let it out. I'm like a grenade about to explode.
I inhaled a blue flame that came out of my hand. At the same time, my back was painfully torn.
"Help! It hurts so much!" I screamed and my tears flowed.
After the pain I felt in my whole body disappeared, I lay down on the floor. Before I lost consciousness, a man approached me.
"Call the witches!" He shouted before I lost consciousness.
-
I slowly woke up because of the light hitting my body. I felt warm so I woke up.
"Where am I?" I asked but the white ceiling greeted me.
"You're still here at the academy, here in the Upper World." The person beside me said.
I looked at him, Dylan. I was moved to tears to see him by my side now. Does he still love me? Is he here? He was the one who came to me as early as I can remember. I smiled bitterly, he still cares.
"How are you?" he asked.
"It's okay, I'm still a little weak." I said smiling and wiping my tears.
Dylan touched my forehead. It was like a voltage came out of his hand and suddenly my strength returned.
"W-What did you do?" I asked curiously.
"I just gave you strength. You're too lethargic." Dylan said with a smile.
I want to hug him now but I can't. I have no more rights and one more thing, he doesn't want me. What can I do? I don't want to force myself on him.
"Thank you, where are they?" I asked.
