I pick the lock of my cell to get out... It's funny how they didn't put any guards outside my cell... Ngumiti ako at naglibot sa palasyo habang tinataguan ang mga guard na nakakasalubong ko.... The Demon Castle from the outside looks like a haunted Castle but on the inside... It's just same like most of the castle... Though you know that Devils are living here because of some furniture and the statue with horns...
Ngumisi ako ng makita ko ang mga Devils na kumakain...
"f**k you! That's f*****g mine"
"Kill him 03"
"Shut the f**k up 08"
"Ahahaha Die you idiot"
"Can you all shut up and just eat!!?"
"Parang hindi kapa nasanay sa mga yan 09."
"HELLOOOOO." masayang bati ko sa kanila para mapansin nila ang presensya ko... Napahinto naman sila sa ginagawa at tiningnan ako .. Sumugod naman sakin ang isang babae at isang lalaki.... I don't know what's their number...
"Why are you out on your prison cell!?" Nginitian ko lang siya.
I tilt my head to the side and look at the sword near my neck... "What the f**k!?" Inis na sabi ng lalaking bigla na lang sumugod...
"Normal sword can't make a cut on me." Sabi ko. Pinasingkit lang nito ang mata niya sakin. Pinitik ko ang dulo ng espada at tumalsik naman yun sa malayo.
"May kailangan ka ba?" Binalingan ko ng tingin si 06 at nginitian.
"Wala naman hehehe... Though I'm hungry."
"Hahatiran ka naman ng pagkain mamaya!" Ngumuso lang ako sa sagot ng isang lalaki habang iniiwasan ko ang atake ng lalaking kaninang may hawak na espada and now he's holding one again... Not an ordinary sword... It's a devil sword covered with black lightning... I already know a lot of this world.
Devils have different weapon from the other races and It's strong... You can fight devil weapon with holy weapon and only Holy Weapon!
"Ano ba yan! Humihina ka na ata, 08. Ni hindi mo siya natatamaan and for the hells sake! She's a f*****g Human."
"Weakling."
"Huhh!? You wanna Die you fucker!?" Sagot ng sumusugod sakin... So he's 08.
Hinawakan ko ang kamao niya at nginitian siya. "Nice to meet you, 08." Tinawanan niya lang ako at sumugod ulit...
A minute later he's not the only one who fought me.... They're three now...
"Are you for real?" Humalakhak pa ang isang babae. "Tatlo na nga kayo hindi niyo pa mapatumba."
"Then try." Huminto ang isang lalaki at hinarap yung babae. "Try fighting her, 07. I'll bet my position if you can kill her." Tumayo naman yung tinawag niyang 07.
I heave a sigh and just avoid their attacks... Is this my morning exercise here? Sinangga ko ng braso ang paa ni 07. I also hold the tip of her sword near my neck. Again...
"What a pretty necklace you got there."
"Thanks—" napahinto ako sa pagsasalita ng hinablot niya ang kwentas ko.... I stared at him with a serious look. "Please return that to me."
Ni hindi ko nga yan tinatanggal sa leeg ko... I promise Kean that I will never ever remove the necklace he gave me.
"Ahahahaha Sabi na nga ba! She's not just an Ordinary human!!!" Lahat tahimik maliban kay 08 na tumatawa. Lahat sila nakatingin sakin.
"Concealing your aura using this?" In just one swift move, My necklace was already in my hands... Using a magic, Inayos ko ang necklace dahil nasira yung lock non... Nilagay ko na ulit yun sa leeg ko... I touch the heart pendant.
Napalingon ako sa taong pumasok sa dining hall ... "Thanatos!" Nakangiting sabi ko at lumapit sa kanya. He look at me with his famous poker faceeee.
"Don't cause any trouble." Seryosong sabi nito.
"I am not causing a trouble." I said Innocently but it's not only me who response to Thanatos...
"Yes, My Lord." Sabay sabay sabi nila...
"Clean this mess." Nilibot ko naman ang tingin ko ... The dining that looks clean awhile ago was now a mess.. parang dinaanan ng bagyo... Even the wall have a big hole now and we can see the other side of the hall.
"I will call the cleaner."
"All of you will clean this mess." He said firmly... Natigilan naman ang lahat.
"Pati ako ba?" Tanong ko.
"Yes."
"Huhhhhhhh? Bakit? I only avoid their attacks!!" Tinitigan na naman niya ako ng ilang segundo bago naglakad at umupo...
"Ahahahahaha I will f*****g kill you next time." Nakangising sabi ni 08 at binigay sakin ang walis...
"If you can." Ngumiti ako sa kanya at kinuha ang walis na inabot niya..
"Draco!"
"What!? I'm f*****g sleeping!"
"Hahaha sleeping Lazy Dragon!"
"If you want anything! Speak my name already!"
"I'm talking to you aren't I?" I said with sarcasm. "Anyway, why did you told me that I shouldn't fight the Devils together?"
"Because they're strong?" Patanong ding sabi niya.
"The five of them fought me."
"Huh?"
"Their weapons are cool."
"and you're still f*****g alive? Just how many lives you have?"
"Hahaha I only have one life but I have luck by my side."
"How many wound you have?"
"So far I don't have any wound or even a scratch." Natahimik si Draco ng ilang segundo bago tumawa ng malakas sa isip ko
"Hahahaha bakit pa ba ako nagulat? I can't even put a single scratch on you when I fight you."
"You're strong it's just that I'm stronger than you."
"Huhhhhh!!!!!!?" Sigaw niya then he tsked. I laugh. "If your not strong I won't take you as my master." Feeling ko nakairap na siya eh!
"Your presence change a while ago. Your power is too overwhelming. You conceal your real power huh? That's the first time I feel that... I mean I know that You're already strong..."
"I don't want to cause any attention Draco."
"Tsk. Even when You conceal that overwhelming power of yours, You already caused attention since You're strong."
"Why are you smiling?" Tanong ni 06.
"Hahaha my familiar is complimenting me."
"Anong familiar ang kinakausap mo?"
"It's a lazy sleeping attitude and moody fire dragon, His name is Draco."
"Ahahahahaha you should put Fucking... Like a f*****g Fire dragon"— 08
"What a nice way to introduce your familiar."
"A fire dragon? That idiot who always fight us!?"
"Oh. Now that you mention, I remember that dragon now."
"That dragon who can transform into human?"
"Yeah. That's him."
"Your familiar is such a f*****g Idiot."
"Hey! He is not a f*****g idiot. How dare you insult him!"
They give me a dead pan look. "You also insult your familiar."
"It's not an insult." Huminto ako sa pagwawalis. "It's a fact... He's really lazy and always sleep and he have attitude... But he's not a f*****g idiot." Inirapan ko sila.
"Umiirap ba ang mga anghel?"
"I'm not an angel." Naglakad na lang ako at umupo malapit kay Thanatos.
"Hoy! Tumulong ka!!" I stuck my tongue out at them and they glared at me except for 06 and 08..hindi ko na sila pinansin at tiningnan na lang si Thanatos.
"Have you ever meet the first one? Is she or he's still alive?"
"Yeah." He look at me. "It was 600 years ago. She died." Malamig at seryoso nitong sabi.
*******
"What are you doing?" Inangat ko ang tingin ko para tingnan si 02. Kasama niya ang dalawang guard. It's been days since I became a prisoner...
I look at the foods in the food tray. My lunch! Umupo ako at Ngumiti sakanya at pinakita ang cellphone ko.
"I'm watching."
"How come that those small people can move there?" Sabi niya ng makalapit siya sakin.
"Hahaha It's animated."
"Oh? Animated? What's that?"
"Just watch, I don't want to explain."
I disconnect my earpad on my phone... Pinalakasan ko din ang sound non... And Yeah... I'm now eating while watching 'Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun' with 02
And I don't know what happened but the Devils are now on my prison cell watching too! It started with 02 then we got ask by 05 and he got curious and watch too and then 06.. then 03 at nagsunod sunod na... Nakailang ulit ko ng nilipat sa episode 1 para maintindihan nila ang kwento...
They are devils but they're different. Lyf was right... The Devils here and the devils I know that is fallen... They're different.
I listen to their laughter as they watch...
"Is this real?" Tanong ni 04
"Nah. It's just animation. People create a stories then animators create this animation."
"They have powers to create this and it talks on their own too!" Napangiwi ako sa sinabi ni 010
"The voice you heard is human voice... We called them Voice actor." Nakatingingin lang sila sakin. "Just watch." Natatawang sabi ko.
"That Iruma guy will be the future demon king?"
"Hmm.. you guess?"
"He will."
Nagfocus ulit kami sa panunood and they really stayed in my cell hanggang sa matapos ang pinapanood namin.
"That's so annoying. Where's the next!?"
"It's still ongoing... Meaning tinatapos pa nila to.. once a week lang ang pag upload ng episode kaya bitin talaga."
"The f**k!!!!!"
"Why did you make us watch it when it's not done yet!!"
"Hoy! Kayo kaya ang pumasok lang dito at nakinood."
"That's so f*****g annoying but it's fun watching but it's really f*****g annoying since it's not yet f*****g finished!!! I f*****g need the next episode!"
"Alis ka nga! Iniipit mo ako you fucker!"
At nagkagulo na nga sila.. "bakit nga pala mga number ang pangalan niyo." Tanong ko na ikinahinto nila
"It's not our name. We don't have a name."
"Our Numbers represent our ranks as devils." Dagdag ni 06 sa sinabi ni 04
"Then... Want me to name you all? I mean.. mas masaya kapag may pangalan talaga kayo.. don't worry I'm good at naming." I smile widely at them. Hindi ko na din sila pinasalita at nagsalita na ulit ako. "You will be Bakugo." Turo ko kay 03. "Your name will be Nozel!" Turo ko kay 06. "Yours will be." I tilt my head to look at 04 "Momo." I smile at her. "01 will be Mikey, 02 will be Draken, 05 name will be Shoto, 07 Milim, 08"
"It should be as f*****g handsome like me! Human!"
"Hahaha you will be Luck. 09 will be Kyouko and 010 is Sasuke!!!!" Tumayo ako at hinarap silang lahat .. they're all sitting on the bed. "Hi Everyone. My name is Eyen Guerero. I will call you from your given name from now on. You can ask me anything or you can even watch Anime with me— like the one we watch— madami tayong mapapanood and ahm... I like you all."

"Hindi talaga nasisinagan ng araw 'tong Demon Realm no?" Sabi ko ng makatabi ako kay Thanatos... This place didn't get any sunlight at all... Only the moon gives the place a light .. only the moon was the source of light...
"Why does other races afraid of you?"
"Because we're a Devil."
"Just that? Just because you're a devil they're afraid?" Tiningnan ko siya... Nakatingin din siya sakin.. seryoso pa din ang expression at walang kahit anong emosyon... Ganyan ba talaga siya? ... Even if he's like that he looks so freaking lonely...
"We're a devil."
"So?" Natigilan ako ng umangat ang sulok ng labi niya... That's a first.
"Why are you not afraid?"
Ngumiti ako at tumingin sa buwan. "You maybe a devil but it doesn't mean you all are bad guys."
Hindi siya nagsalita... Nakatingin lang din naman ako sa buwan and a minutes later Draken barged in... Tumingin ako sa kanya habang nakayuko siya kay Thanatos na hindi man lang siya binalingan ng tingin.
"There is a Vampire in the Castle, My Lord."
"Vampire?" Gulat na sabi ko.
"Yes. Our Mortal Enemy" my eyes widen. Mortal enemy? Hindi ba dapat Lobo at bampira ang mortal enemy dito? "We already seize him, my lord. He's with his human accomplice."
"Human?" Lumapit ako kay Draken. "Where are they, Draken?" Tumingin ito sakin. "Fudge! I think they're my friends and that Vampire is my mate."
"You're mated to a vampire!?" gulat na sabi nito pero sumeryoso din.
"Ah should I kill you here, Eyen? Wonder what that vampire reaction. It must be satisfying to watch." Napanguso ako dahil sa sinabi ni Draken. He laugh seeing my reaction.
"Let them go." Napatingin kami kay Thanatos.
"But my Lord."
"They're probably here for her." Tiningnan ako nito. "Don't associate yourself to us. Leave."
"I know I'm going to leave soon since I'm still studying. You don't need to tell me that but I like interacting with you, devils."
Hindi niya ako pinansin at tiningnan lang ang buwan. Ngumiti ako sa kanya kahit hindi niya yun nakikita. "I'm happy that I meet you, Thanatos."
I look at Draken and smile at him.. he grabbed me in my arm
"No need dragging me Draken."
"I need too... Mga makikitid ang utak ng mga tao, Eyen. All races are like that except for us of course... They might think of you as a traitor if I didn't do this."
"But I'm not."
"Told you. they're all close minded and have small brain... Kapag naglakad ka ng comportable sa tabi ko, they will accused you as a devil accomplice... People abhor us, Eyen."
"Because they didn't know that you're good and beside they're my friends and I'm really comfortable with you guys."
"We are too. But damn! Just act as if we hurt you as well!! We don't want you to be hated by them like how they hate us. I mean they Abhor us."
Tiningnan ko lang si Draken at mas lalo niyang hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak sa braso ko ng makapasok kami sa isang silid.. tiningnan ko ang mga tao sa loob ng throne room.
"Eyen!!!" Sigaw ng mga kaibigan ko...
"I thought you're already dead. I'm glad your safe." Maiyak iyak na sabi ni Wendy. They're all here.. even Kuya Jenos and Rei.
"Did they hurt you?" Tanong ni hakken na hawak ni Mikey.
"No——" hindi ako pinatapos magsalita ni Bakugo.
"You motherfucker, asking if we hurt her!?" I taught them a lot of cusses and one of them is motherfucker since kunti lang ang pagmumura nila dito.. BI talaga ako!!! "Of Course we hurt her, we tortured her you s**t!"
"Hahahaha she should be f*****g dead by now but her f*****g wounds heal fast." Napatingin ako kay Luck.... Why are they lying? Why don't they just show their good side!?
"You look confused and hurt, Eyen." Napatingin ako kay kyouko. She have telepathy as her side power. "This is how it should be Eyen. At least they will not doubt you or hate you because of us. We truly like you. We might visit you, don't worry. I like watching that anime anyways."
"Let them go." Draken said.
"Huhh!!? Hindi ba natin papatayin ang putanging bampirang yan!?"
"Let him go, Nozel. This is Lord Thanatos Order." Seryosong sabi ni Draken. "If they entered the Demon realm for the second time. We will not hesitate to kill them." Malakas akong hinagis ni Draken.. Hindi ko na nabalanse ang katawan ko kaya natumba ako.
"Eyen!" Kumawala si Hakken sa pagkakawahak ni Mikey at lumapit sakin.
"Eyen! Are you okay?"
Hindi ako sumagot at tumingin lang sa mga naging kaibigan ko dito... Patagong ngumiti sila sakin... A real smile.
"Go! I will only give you 5 minutes to get your f*****g self out of our Realm!"
"Eyen!"
Nakatingin pa din ako sa kanila nabaling lang ang tingin ko ng binuhat ako ni Hakken. "You okay, Love?" He's worried... They're all worried.
"Tsk! We should tortured them!"
"It's no fun. They're weaklings."
Napakuyom ako ng kamao, bumaba ako sa pagkakabuhat sakin ni Hakken "EYEN!"
Kinuha ko ang espada ni Lyf at tumakbo ulit ako papunta kay Hakken at bago ako makapasok sa Portal na binuksan ni Kuya Jenos nginitian ko sina Milim... At nang makalabas kami nasa S-Class Dorm na kami.
"What did they do to you Eyen?"
"Are you alright?"
"Did they torture you?"
"Hurt you?"
"Eyen."
Ngumiti lang ako sa kanila at bumaba sa pagkakabuhat ni Hakken sakin... "I'm fine guys. Thank you."
"Don't go there again, Eyen!" Pagalit na sabi ni Kuya Rei. "You made us worry!!"
"I'm sorry." Sabi ko sa mababang boses. "I'm really sorry for making you all worry"
"Eyen." Tumakbo sakin si Wendy at Aubrey at niyakap ako. "I'm really glad that you're safe."
Mahina akong natawa. "Hmm."
"We Miss you Eyen!" I look at Gabriél.
"Me too.... Group hug?" And with that they all come to do the group hug except for Hakken.
