Chapter 28
"So, what was that?" I asked him immediately after we got out of the car. It was 9 pm when we reached Albus' house. As expected it was a huge house near the beach. I tried to hold back the annoyance as I followed the angry grim reaper. I also couldn't help but look back at the vehicle as long as he parked in front of me without even entering the gate.
However, I could not help but wonder. Wondering why there seems to be no human in Albus' house. Albus parent was not here even their guard and maid who used to greet the guests before.
But I know this is not the right time to think about it. All I had to do was just to follow Saint.
But as soon as I entered the mansion, I was almost immediately taken back by the sight of Saint leaving Albus' body. I immediately covered my mouth and nose when I smell the stench of Albus' decaying body. I could not help but wince. Fortunately, Saint immediately co
Chapter 29"Are you crazy! I will not call you that, you're not my boyfriend!""Then I'll be your boyfriend." That's when I laughed a lot.Is he drunk? Did he get drunk from drinking Jack Daniel earlier?"Are you drunk?"He chuckled before answering. "A little." This time I messed up my hair. I stared at Saint but his face was not joking. He seems serious about what he is saying."May I remind you about the contract, dating is forbidden." I can assure you that I am no longer happy with the way we talked. In what he is doing I will just hope. "Is being your boyfriend means we are dating?" He asked curiously. I took a deep breath because of that. My patience with him is exhausted. Really exhausted."Yes!" I couldn't help but scream. I know he's just annoying me. I know very well that he knows what I am thinking and even how I feel do him. Ho
Chapter 30When I opened my eyes, Saint's face immediately appeared in front of me. I was not surprised by that, however, I just realized that he did not sleep. If so, what did he do all night? Staring at me?"Yup, I was staring at you the whole night." He said before kissing my forehead which surprised me. It didn't end there because Saint hugged me tightly and buried his head between my neck. I almost caught my breath at what he was doing. Something that gives a strange creep at the same time leisure to my chest.I took a deep breath and just hugged him back before closing my eyes again."I don't know why I want to hug and kiss you. I'm not like this with succubi, that I fucked before." I immediately distanced from Saint because of what he said."Are you for real? You're comparing me to the— gosh! Seriously Saint." I sat down at that moment but Saint didn't even bother. Instead, he hug
Chapter 31When I woke up again I smelled a delicious aroma. Smiling, I sat on the bed consciously alone. I couldn't help but smile as I remembered what had happened. Saint was gentle, sweet and caring when we did it. I smiled to myself before choosing to get up and take a bath. I dressed in Albus' white long sleeve, up to the thighs so it was okay. After combing, I decided to go down only to discover Saint preparing our dinner.It was 6 pm, I was very tired, so the night reached my rest. When Saint turned to me, he immediately smiled before approaching me and asked me to sit down and eat."I made your omelette. Don't worry that taste good. I search for it." I just nodded as I watched the table which was a bit chaotic. There is also a tablet that I never thought he could use. A video on how to make easy but delicious food plays there.Damn Mary, he's making an effort. For the love of Go
Chapter 32I caught my breath as I awoke from the strange nightmare. A nightmare that when I woke up I could even not remember. All I can recall are wings and eyes. Something that is not frightening at all but it terrifies me. However, when I tried to turn to Saint who was just next to me before I went to slumber, but now he not there.I took a deep breath and looked around. That's when I realized he was really gone.I just bit my lip and slightly pressed both of my knees together. I try to expunge the dream out of my mind but it really won't go away. Until now, I am still terrified. Nonetheless, I strive to calm down and remind myself that it was just a dream.Just a bad dream."So, you are the guardian of soul they say?" I quickly turned to the speaker. There, I saw a little girl wearing her white robe with her hands clasped behind her back. She was still slightly jumpin
Chapter 33"Have you eaten?" I know that is a very strange question because I am sure that souls like them do not eat. Still, I asked that out of a lot of thought.I was no longer surprised by Alyssa's sudden laughter. "I do not eat Guardian of Soul. I do not feel hungry." I just nodded at her answer before sighing.There is a way for me to know what is the use of being the guardian of soul. I am sure it will take me to the truth. Truth, I should already know."How long have you been wandering around Alyssa?" I do not know how, but when I asked her that she suddenly seemed to illumine, literally. Allyssa did not notice that because the child was busy jumping again on the bed.So, this is the effect of my simple questioning of souls like her."It's been almost two months," she replied. "I really want to go back, but I don't know how to come back. I miss mom—" she stopped s
Chapter 34"Guardian of Soul, where are we going?" That was Alyssa's immediate question after I pulled her out of the room."We're going to St. Luke's Hospital," I answered simply before putting on the jacket I was carrying and fixing my hair. I do not know if I am doing it right thing or wrong, all I know is that I need to help this child. That alone is the most important thing right now.We went straight to the car and there I first put Alyssa in the passenger seat before I turned towards the driver seat to drive the car to Manila. It's late at night and I should be able to come back tomorrow because Hailey's parents are worried about their child. I just said that I was only staying two days at Albus' house especially it's weekends. But I had to attend school tomorrow so I should be able to return to Plamour immediately. It was a bit far but there is always a way."Guardian of Soul—" I did not finish
Chapter 35I don't know why I was so nervous even though I was just holding the doorknob of Alyssa's room number. Maybe I am still nervous at the thought that I might just make the child hope to come back in her body. I don't know what to do other than to think I want to help.During the times I was still alive in my real body, I never thought of helping others. I always keep in mind that when I help once, that will more and will be followed more. Besides, no one will believe when I helped. But I did not speculate that one day I would be desperate to help someone. To the point that I will go to manila which is about six hours away from Plamour just to help Alyssa even without certainty.I turned the child on my side for a moment. She just stood there while blankly staring at the door. But when she noticed my gaze Alyssa smile immediately.I gasped.The way she grinned I
Chapter 36Once upon a time, there was a Witch and a King's Knight who meet inside the palace.Even before Alyssa regained consciousness, I left her room. I left a short kiss on her forehead as a sign of goodbye then I decided to just go down through the fire exit.From what happened earlier I found that my simple words help a lot to a lost soul like Allyssa. A lost soul like her wandering around who were not immediately caught by the grim reapers. However, I could not help but be nervous about what happened. Allyssa must be dead because the grim reaper who supposedly reap her soul was just looking for her. But what I did is I returned her soul instead of taking it. I, as a living grim reaper.I stopped going down the stairs at that thought.Is that's why the woman Allyssa calls Madam Matilda said that?"Look at
