CHAPTER 35: Maya and the Dementor

“The Dementor?” Romina muttered. Simeon seemed so serious when he told her about it. “Is that another apparition?”

“Yes,” Simeon responded. “That apparition is also the reason why I’m also staying here with all of you since the archangels what me to help getting rid of this apparition which escaped from the underworld hundred years ago and he’s now emerging here in the human’s world to feed on dead human’s souls.”

Luciel couldn’t help but glare at Simeon. “Hey, what kind of look is that?”

“Huh? Look?”

“What the actual f**k stop acting innocent. When you said ‘underworld’, you immediately looked at me as if you’re implying that I’m the reason why that son of a hellish b***h escaped,” Luciel spat at the angel in front of them.

Simeon slightly raised his hand. “It’s not intentional, Luciel. I am telling the truth.”

“Tch.”

“So the Dementor that you’re talking about is after dead human’s souls. So which means…” she looked at the kid sleeping soundly on her bedroom’s couch. “So, you mean that… that kid is already a ghost and that scary apparition is after her?”

“Yes,” the angel nodded in agreement.

“That apparition is actually weird. He kept on counting as if he’s playing hide and seek.”

“That kid actually died while she’s in the middle of playing hide and seek with her friends. Let’s just say that it was really an unfortunate event that she died without her friends nor her parents finding her body. Because she’s still a kid who couldn’t accept her death yet, she couldn’t pass the afterlife. And also, no one knows where her corpse is and gives it a proper burial, that’s one of the reasons why she couldn’t pass as well. Of course, the Dementor is after her soul since this kind of apparition feeds on a dead human’s soul so he wants to consume her. Of course, the sadder and more traumatic the soul, the tastier it is for this apparition so before consuming the soul, he’ll let her experience the day she died again and again before eating her soul up,” Simeon explained to her.

“If that apparition is after her soul, why did he do that to me? Why did he attack me like that as if he’s trying to consume me as well? It was actually terrifying, to be real honest,” Romina told him.

“That really puzzled me as well because Dementors are really after dead human’s souls. They may be foul in this realm but they wouldn’t really harm the living. I really wonder why he’s after you as well…”

Luciel looked at Simeon then he looked at Romina as well.

"I don't know if it's because that kid was trying to communicate to a human in order to save her that's why you got involved as well but the dementor doesn't usually go to a human's alive soul. I wonder how is that possible."

"If that dementor was really after Romina, all we have to do is just slay the s**t out of him."

"That's the only thing we can do as of now."

Romina looked at the kid once again. “What… what is that kid’s name again?”

Simeon turned at the kid for a second then he responded to Romina.

“Maya.”

“Pagbilang ko ng sampu, nakatago ka na…”

“Isa…”

“Dalawa…”

“Tatlo…”

“Apat…”

“Lima…”

“Anim…”

“Pito…”

“Walo…”

“Siyam…”

A smirk flaunted on the hideous man’s face as he roamed around Romina’s neighborhood—as if he sniffled the soul’s scent.

“Magtago ka nang maigi, Maya. Mahahanap din kita.”
