The Search for Freedom 42 The Heavy Burden
The first person I saw when I woke up was Cain. Maybe he didn't leave last night. Everything was normal and it meant that he didn't cause any problems, like a curse, which was difficult to solve. He was lying there on the rough floor like a beggar with closed eyes, and seemed to be in a deep slumber. It never entered my mind that he could also feel tired, for he was already a spirit.I sprang from my bed and barefoot walked towards the door. I knew, even though there were many things I needed to deal with, I also needed to go to school. Though there were too many questions in my mind, I didn't want to lose my future because of them. I knew my parents would be mad if I did not continue my studies without giving them a valid reason. I believed that finishing school was the only thing that I could do to exchange my parents' hard work and perspiration.The door was crying when I opened it. Cain was being aroused from a deep slumber. He stood up without saying a word and got out of my bedr
The Search for Freedom 43 The Long List
KailaKilling a hundred people wasn't just a game. Lives couldn't be bought because everyone had a responsibility to take care of each other's lives. What I could do was hope, hoping that the people I could kill would forgive me, even though I knew it was hopeless because murder was both a mortal and forgivable sin."Kaila, I know you have a special ability like seeing things, such as people from far away places. You may use that to know who you want to kill," Alicia advised."So, do you mean that it wasn't from you?" I asked."Yeah, it did not come from me, but from, maybe from the curse.""Okay, but I don't know how to use this power, because sometimes I cannot control it. Can you help me with that?""That's so easy to control. You only need to focus if you want to see something. You need to focus when using your eyes to see someone or something. I knew you could control that soon."Alicia was right because it would show me the things I really wanted to see, and if I didn't want to
The Search for Freedom 44 The Addicts
We were going inside the mansion when I remembered that many people might become hindrances to me in doing the necessary things which could help me get rid of the curse. Especially my personal maid, Amara Spicy, who was so inquisitive. She might also leave the mansion if I did not be truthful about the weird things that were happening to me those days.I was confused when Alicia halted in front of the antiquated mirror and seemed to be scrutinizing her own reflection. There were probably a lot of mysteries about it since, though eons would pass, it was still there. My parents had never told me anything about that mirror, and every time I would ask, they were always changing the topic.I didn't know if it was true that the mirror was older than my grandparents. I could say they were not telling the truth to me, but I knew how they would tell the truth and the unreal ones. That didn't matter if sometimes they believed that if they told me everything, I had nothing to discover."Is there
The Search for Freedom 45 The Flattering Foe
LilWhatever Cain would tell me, his sins were unforgivable. He was the reason my life became poignant. He was the reason why I killed a lot of innocent people, even my friend's mother. And I wasn't in a difficult situation if he didn't show his demonic face. But if he wanted to assist me in breaking the curse, why wouldn't he talk to me instead of blasting in my ear like a machine gun?Perhaps it was a mistake if I always disagreed with every word he would say. That I was allowing them to enter one ear and leave another annoyed him as a reply to his opinions. But though I would fight him, he didn't run out of words, and he talked to me the whole day. He would never give up as long as he could not get my attention, and he seemed to be a tireless spirit. I didn't know. Perhaps his real intention was to win my trust, for the thought that I might conspire with him.Cain had been following me wherever I would go. I became mad and forgot to respect the elderly. I talked back to him. The fl
The Search for Freedom 46 The Explanation
Thereafter, Cain told me the real reason why he gave me the curse. He said he wanted to get rid of the curse, which came from the powerful spirit. I was wondering if it was a good enough reason why he did it, or if I did not understand what he meant."But what kind of curse was given to you by the powerful spirit that you had to curse me too?" I slightly scratched my head."It wasn't just a simple curse: my wife and I could not go back to the realm of spirits. It has been thousands of years since we began strolling in this world. We're searching for someone who can help us get back to the place where we suitably are," Cain explained."Do you have a wife?" I queried."Yeah, She was also cursed by the same spirit who's even crueler than us." Cain sighed. "And I will never leave this earth without her.""So if you really have a wife, then where is she?" I asked."She had been strolling in other parts of the world to search for someone who could help her to be free, so that we could go ba
The Search for Freedom 47 The Deal for Freedom
KailaAlicia and I went towards the benches covered with the shade of tall trees. Those boys could see me, but I knew that they could not see Alicia because she was already a spirit. I wasn't totally afraid of what those boys could do to me, because Alicia could make them disappear in just a second after flipping her fingers at them.One of the boys pointed his finger at me, then I heard him say, "Buds, look at the girl; she looked beautiful and rich." Though we were far from them, I could already hear their voices, which seemed to be fighting, and they were doing that because of me.The boy who wasn't wearing a shirt replied, "She's really beautiful. I want to taste her." However, I didn't care if he had a good body or if he was excels in bed because I wasn't a donut to let him taste me. What I did care about was that he might meet my boyfriend, Mr. Death.Another boy warned, "She's already mine, so don't attempt to touch her."What kind of boys were they? I wasn't a food item for th
The Search for Freedom 48 The Road to Death
Thereafter, sweat began diffusing around his body and mine also. I'm sure it turned red after how many times he had punched my face. I could not even hit him because he was avoiding every punch I threw at him.I never expected that would happen. There was nothing I could do right there but accept that I was defeated by that boy. Until something entered to my mind, maybe I could use it to see his next moves and not be hit by his strong punches. The power of my vision. So I focus my attention on it, telling my eyes to show me the next move of that boy.Alicia was right, that if someone believed he could, everything around him would conspire to help him achieve something. I foresaw what would happen next. I would be defeated by that boy, and it showed me his moves, so it came to my mind to defend all his movements so that he could not defeat me that time. It was so nice that I could change what would happen in my future through my powerful vision. I would never make any wrong decisions a
The Search for Freedom 49 The Exact Story
LilSitting on the long wooden chair while looking at the tall grass The bees were flying close to their beehives hanging from the tree's branches. The wooden gate had become weak and decayed after being there for a long time. The green grass on our lawn and many other things around our house. Everything around me was aged. Even me.The curse wasn't just a simple thing that would leave voluntarily. I needed to do something, but I didn't want to talk about where and how I got that thing. What I wanted to think about was how to get rid of it. Though I didn't want to trust Cain again, I couldn't deny that I needed his help, for he knew a lot of things, and he was powerful. He had told me the only way to be free, and I didn't know if I could do that thing, because it wasn't as easy as I thought.I needed to kill a hundred people to be free, and I lost hope that I could. It was hopeless; I knew I couldn't even kill an animal, but how much more human? Cain told me to try. My decision was ne
