Paranormal Shopper

Chapter 2

In all of the Ghosts residing in the Paranormal Realm, I am the only one who can walk in and out of the place without difficulties. Mas malakas ang Electromagnetic Wave ko kumpara sa kanila na tanging sa mga device ng Mortal lang nila nakukuha.

Ghosts in the said realm can only scare humans by touching their paranormal devices. Kakarampot lang ang nakukuha nila roon para bayaran ako. I am, after all, the Paranormal Shopper. I either buy them or they pay me. Ghosts who aren't contented in the Paranormal Realm should struck a deal with me kung gusto nilang pansamantalang manatili sa mundo ng mga Mortal.

Electromagnetic Wave, o EW, serves as our money. Iyon ang ipambabayad nila sa akin. Pwede na akong tawagin na Queen of Paranormal Realm dahil walang sinumang Multo ang nakakalabas sa mundo namin hangga't hindi ako kasama. I am, after all, their personal Escort. Their ticket to leaving that isolated realm.

"Anna, Anna..." Sebastian chimed in. "Why so grumpy?"

I have private clients such as the 7 Capital Sins, Fallen Angels, and Elite Demons. They are my exclusive client, and they pay me big. Pero minsan lang nila ako tawagan o kumatok man lang sa pintuan ng aking bahay.

My jaw hardened at the sight of his haughty attitude. "Where is Cain?" I repeated.

May meeting ako with one of the 7 Capital Sins. His name is Pride. And I will deliver him to the Mortal Realm for the Possessing Ritual.

Bumuntong hininga siya bago pinasok ang kamay sa bulsa ng itim na slacks. "Ang sungit talaga."

I am the only one who's safe enough to enter the gates of Hell. For one specific reason, I can torture them for eternity just by mentioning God's name.

"Sagutin mo na lang ang tanong ko."

Iisang demonyo lang ang nakasundo ko dito sa impyerno. Well, alam kong niloloko lang ako nun na magkaibigan kami pero, ayos lang. Naging magaan naman ang loob ko doon kahit pa hindi dapat.

"Cain is out of order." He coaxed earning a deep frown from me.

Being friends with a demon is not advisable. They are too cunning and mischievous for their own sake. Knowing that Cain won't be the one guarding the gates of Hell forever? It's beating me hard.

"Ano?" I angrily hissed.

"For confidentiality's sake, I cannot tell you why." He confided almost nothing to me.

Don't get me wrong. Kilala ko si Sebastian Starkov. I just did not like how a demon could be extremely interested with a Mortal. It's weird to see him, somewhat, overprotective of a human.

"Hindi ba't may binabantayan kang Mortal?" I witnessed how his smirk slowly faded.

"Kaya kong mag-multitask." He broached.

I rolled my eyes. "Just take me to Pride."

Nairita ako lalo nung bumalik na naman ang ngisi niya. "Password muna."

"Suntok gusto mo?"

Sebastian let out a sexy chuckle before opening the massive steel and rustic gate for me. Tumambad sa amin ang limang oak doors. Sobrang laki nga ng gate at may higante at makapal na sementong bakod na pumapalibot hanggang sa kung saan, pero lima lang na pintuan ang makikita mo pagkabukas nito.

This place is so weird.

"Saan nga ulit ang punta mo?" He genuinely asked.

"Supernatural Realm."

Naglakad siya patungo sa pangatlong pintuan. Parang kulog kung mag-echo ang ingay sa likod ng pintuang iyon matapos niyang buksan. Madilim doon at nababalot ng itim na usok. Wala kang makikita hangga't hindi ka pumapasok. Tanging malalaki, mababa, at malalim na boses ng mga demonyong nananahan doon.
