Embracing Khaos

Kabanata 5

Anastasia's POV

"Y-ou want what?"

Naglakad ito palapit sa akin. I almost fell when he stared at my eyes. That black eye affects me. I don't know but I can't explain it.

Those eyes, it's mysterious and dark.

He's like staring at my soul.

"I want your soul," he answered. "I will let you live in two months to do the things that you want. Two months and after that, I will have your soul."

He wants my soul and I have no choice. I still have a mission to complete and this is the only chance I have. The chance that will ruin my soul and my life, but I don't have a choice.

I sighed.

Why the universe is such a freaking b***h?

They always want me to suffer.

"Fine, my soul is yours but let me live. I will grab the two months, just let me live." Matapang na pahayag ko.

He laughed and nodded as he has already expecting my answer.

"Good, I know you will accept the deal. Humans are dumb but it works for my advantage."

He's the god of darkness so I shouldn't expect that he can be a little merciful to me. Two months is short but I know that I can't have more.

"Where's the contract?" I asked. "Don't take advantage of me, I know that we need to sign a contract before everything else."

He smirked and he looks amused.

"Feisty, but don't talk to me that way, useless human. I'm a god and you should give respect."

I rolled my eyes.

Respect? That's a big word and a big deal. It's not the title that demands respect, it's how you treat people. I don't understand why people always ask for respect when in fact, they also can't give that. That's just funny.

And dumb.

"Respect my ass. So where's the contract?" I asked.

Umiling ito at ngumisi.

"Alright, let me give you the contract." He take a step and the next thing I knew he's already kissing me.

My eyes widened but I can't do anything but to close my eyes. He let go of my lips but because of that, I feel an excruciating pain in my neck.

"Ahhhhh!" I shouted because I can feel that my neck is burning.

It's hurting me.

It freaking hurts that I grip on his hand. Hinawakan ko nang mahigpit ang kamay nito at sumigaw.

"W-what is t-this, ahhhh!"

I looked into his eyes and his lips have this devilish smirk while he just watched me suffer.

"Almost done, sweetie."

As soon as he said that ay tila nawala ang sakit. But I think I drained all my energy that makes me lose my consciousness.

Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa sikat ng araw na tumatama sa balat ko. I slowly opened my eyes at saka inilibot ang paningin ko sa kwarto.

It's my room.

Is that a dream?

"You're already awake,"

Muntik na kong mapatalon dahil sa nagsalita. Binalingan ko ang lalaki na prenteng nakaupo sa couch. He's wears his famous smirk again.

The black-eyed devil.

"So it's not a dream? Tsk," I asked and rolled my eyes.

"Tss, you're an ungrateful human. Should I punish you?" Nakasimangot na saad nito.

I rolled my eyes at saka masamang tiningnan ang diyos ng kasamaan.

"What the heck did you do to me?" Galit na tanong ko ng maalala ang sakit na naramdaman ko.

Ngumisi ito at lumapit palapit sa akin.

He looks at me, no he looks at my neck.

"Hey!" I hissed.

"You want my contract, right? Take a look at yourself,"

My forehead creased kaya mabilis akong tumingin sa salamin. My eyes widened because of what I see in my neck.

It's a freaking tattoo!

A tattoo on my neck! It's eight arrows in radical patterns. What the hell, it's beautiful but this sh*t is the contract?

What the heck?

"Like it? That's a symbol of chaos and that is our contract." He said. "My personal contract."

Hinaplos ko ang leeg ko na may tattoo.

Chaos.

It's his symbol and the proof that I just had a deal with the god of destruction.

"But I thought I need to sign or something?" Nilingon ko ito ngunit ngumisi lamang ito.

He's grinning like he's teasing me. What the heck is wrong with this god? I get it, he's freaking destruction but he's an assh*le.

"Stop being an ass and answer me,"

He smirks.

"The kiss, that's your sign." He answered.

What the hell?

"What?" Sigaw ko rito ngunit humalakhak lamang ito.

"You're interesting. I guess you will be a good entertainer."

"Shut up, I still have two months. So please, leave me alone first. Balikan mo nalang ako pagkatapos ng dalawang buwan!" I shouted.

Everything happens too fast, damn. What's wrong with my life?

My blood is boiling. This freaking jerk is testing my patience. I know he's a freaking god and I owe him my life but he's still a douchebag.

Napaatras ako at napadaing ng tumama ang likod ko sa salamin. He cornered me and damn, those black eyes again. I don't want to stare in that black eyes, parang hinihila nito ang kaluluwa ko.

"You should show some respect, slave. Or you will get an extreme punishment," he darkly said.

Huh, is he threatening me? Who the hell is this man? Oh yeah, he's a god but who cares? Umiinit na ang ulo ko. First I died and second I sold my soul to this god of darkness and now he wants to punish me? What in a rollercoaster is this?

"Respect my ass," matapang na pahayag ko.

Akmang sasagot ito ng may kumatok sa pintuan ko. Nanlaki ang mata ko nang marinig ang boses ni Mikayla.

"Asha? Are you here?"

Tumingin ako rito at saka huminga ng malalim. Heck, what am I going to say?

"Tsk, tell that another useless human to stop going here." Utos nito sa akin.

"And why the hell I will do that?" Inuutusan n'ya ba ko?

He smiled.

"It's because I'm going to live here... with you." He whispered and as soon as he said that ay bumukas ang pintuan.

What?

"Asha?" Nakakunot ang noo ni Mikayla habang nakatingin sa'kin.

Lumunok ako at saka umayos ng tayo. Damn that was so close. Mabuti na lamang at bigla na lamang nawala si, Khaos. Yes, he just disappear, and thank god for that.

That annoying god.

"What? It's still early and you're already here?" I asked and still fixing my composure.

Damn, my heart is still beating faster.

Muntik na ako doon.

Lumapit ito sa akin at pinagmasdan ako. She's looking at me like I have two heads.

"When did you get a tattoo?" She asked at naguguluhang tiningnan ako.

I cussed silently.

"Yesterday, I got it yesterday." I answered coldly.

Pinagmasdan ako nito na tila ba inaalam kung totoo ang sinabi ko

.

"What?" Nakataas ang kilay ko at tinalikuran ito.

"It's strange, you didn't tell me that you will get one."

It's because I have no plans to get one! I just have no freaking choice. I thought this creepy castle is enough for my creepy style but hell. I didn't expect that I will die and made a deal with that annoying god.

My life is really a big joke!

"I don't think I need to tell you everything. I'm not in the mood, I'm not going to the company for today." Saad ko at ibinagsak ang sarili ko sa kama.

I heard her sighed.

"Fine, take a rest. But I'm telling you, you need to attend the party for tomorrow."

Mabilis kong iminulat ang mga mata ko.

Party?

"Do I look like I love parties? I don't even want to associate myself with people and you are expecting me to go there?"

That's a bad thing, I hate people. I just hate them.

"Do you think you have a choice? It's a company party for the successful event and of course, you need to be there."

I smiled.

"Of course I have a choice. I can do whatever the helI want, Mikayla. I'm not going to attend that freaking party." I said. "Leave,"

I closed my eyes when I heard the door closing. I hate people and I still need to process what just happened to me. Someone killed me and that's the one I need to find out. I need to find my parent's killer, find my brother and find my killer? In just two months?

Fudge, I'm doomed.

-----

Walang emosyong tiningnan ko ang secretary ko.

"What the hell are you doing here? I'm asking you, so answer me or you will die." Malamig na pahayag ko.

This woman wants war for going here. I forbid anyone to go here in my house and this b***h is getting into my nerves.

Nanginginig ito at nakayuko sa harap ko.

"I'm sorry, Madam. Miss Mikayla asked me to tell you that you need to attend the party."

I gritted my teeth because of what she said. Damn that b***h, she knows I hate when people try to go here in my house. She broke the rules and I need to remind her that.

She's dead, I swear.

"Leave, and tell her that she just made me so mad. To the point that I want to strangle her neck. Leave and if she still insists that I need to go to that useless party, I will make sure that I will bring chaos to that freaking party." I dangerously said. "Tell her that or else, I will also strangle your neck. Don't ever come back or step your dirty feet here in my house or else, something bad will happen to you."

Tumalikod na ko at isinara ang pintuan. It's early in the morning and my blood is boiling in so much anger. Bakit ba hindi nalang mawala ang mga taong katulad nila?

I want them dead!

I want them to leave me alone!

Arghhh!

"Do you want me to kill them?"

"Bwisit! K-khaos?" Sigaw ko ng maaninag ang bulto nito sa hagdanan.

He smiled and next think ay knew at nasa harap ko na ito.

"Yes, it's me, slave. Do you want me to end them? You said that you will bring me to that party, shall we?" He asked.

Dang, he's here again, to mess with my life.

"I said I will bring chaos but not you, Khaos. And slave? What the hell?"

Umiling ito.

"But I'm chaos. I'm the one you are talking about and yes you are my slave." He said.

I sighed.

"What are you doing here again? I told you balikan mo nalang ako after two months."

Sinamaan ako nito ng tingin.

"I already told you that I will live here from now on. And you need to be punished for not showing respect."

"Yeah right, suit yourself." Sagot ko at binuksan ang pintuan ng kusina ng mapatili ako. "W-hat in the world is t-this!"

Humalakhak lamang si Khaos at lumapit sa akin. Mahigpit ang kapit ko sa doorknob dahil hindi kusina ang napuntahan ko! It's a freaking cliff! One step and I'm going to fell in the sea and I think that sea is not comfortable. It looks dangerous and I think someone is living down there.

A scary monster.

"See? I'm going to punish you for talking back to me. Should I push you now?" He playfully asked.

Sinamaan ko ito ng tingin and closed the door.

"I just want to be alone but why the hell do I need to deal with you?" Pagod na sagot ko.

Sumalampak ako sa sahig at pagod na sumandal sa pintuan. Why they can't understand that I don't want to associate myself with people? I can't trust people because they caused me too much pain.

They're so complicated, I just want to be alone.

"Should I kill them all for you? You want that right? Just say a word and I will do it," pinantayan nito ang mukha ko at saka ngumisi. "You want them dead right? You want to be alone but are you sure that you want to be alone?"

Natigilan ako dahil sa sinabi nito. What does he mean by that? Of course, I want to be alone. Away from people who can hurt me. Away from those greedy jerks.

"Being alone makes me sane, I want it that way. People will just use you and hurt you." I answered.

Ngumisi ito.

"But you're also a human, like them. You just sheltered yourself too much in this castle, that's why you're saying that. Don't blame them for your feelings and trust issues. Blame yourself."

"Blame me? You are a god but I can tell that you're also lonely like me. The only difference is you have power while I'm just a human." Saad ko habang mariin na nakatingin sa itim na mga mata nito.

Nawala ang ngisi sa mga labi nito. Now it's my turn to grin. So gods are judgemental too? How dare he judge my feelings and traumas? He has no idea how hellish I've been in this castle. He has no idea how hurt I am because of trusting too much.

"Why you can't accept your fate? You're right, I am a god and I can control people's lives. Accept your fate that you are unlucky in this lifetime."

Sinamaan ko ito ng tingin at inabot ang silver na buhok nito.

How dare he!

"What the heck!" Mura nito dahil sa pagsabunot ko sa kanya.

I smirked.

"You jerk. I will dye your hair pink if you don't stop pestering me!"
