AS THE DEVILS WILL

CHAPTER 35

MINA'S POV

"Mina!", I heard a familiar voice call me and I turned to see mom ran towards me.

I opened my mouth in shock as she ran towards me happily. It was my mom. It wasn’t a dream.

She’s alive.

"Mom!!", I called at the top of my voice and ran into her arms.

"I’ve missed you mom", I said to mom as I hugged her one more time before we both took our separate seats.

"How’ve you been Mina? I’ve been so worried about you", She said.

We were sitting at a quiet place in the garden while Chaeyoung waited in the car.

"I’ve been fine but what about you? I was scared you were dead", I asked.

"I wasn’t, Chaeyoung had me released some days now, he gave me a place to stay but warned me not to try coming close to his place".

"But what’s going on? Why do you seem so free around him?", She asked.

"Has he been hurting you?", She added and I sighed.

"Don’t worry mom, that was all in the past. I’m fine now", I said.

But what does Chaeyoung  have in mind now? Is he willing to let me go with mom? Or is he going to hold me Back?.

"I was so scared Mina", She said soberly.

"I thought I was never gonna see you again. I’m so sorry for lying to you in the past. I just didn’t know how you would take the news~".

"Mom please", I cutt her off.

"It's okay, I understand. There’s no need for regrets", She sighed and placed her palm on mine and I lowered my gaze.

I was so worried. How do I tell her about the pregnancy? How will she feel about it?.

"Mina", She called lowly and I lifted my eyes to look at her.

"During your stay with Chaeyoung, did he...", She paused and looked down at my waist and my heart beat faster as I understood what she meant.

I bent my head and didn’t say a word.

"Mina", She called but I still didn’t look at her.

Suddenly, the clouds went dark and I covered in fear. Mom and I sprang on our feet immediately.

"Mom", I called and held her hand. What was going on? Why did the clouds suddenly go dark?.

I turned and saw Chaeyoung coming towards us. He looked bewildered. It was confusing.

To my greatest surprise, something strange happened, something indescribable. It was like something started falling from the sky, some creatures.

They seemed scary and looked almost like animals. They had big black wings fixed to their back. And they were uncountable. What was going on?.

"Run", Chaeyoung said to me, his eyes fixed on the dark creatures Which were still decending.

What?.

Immediately, mom gripped my hand and started running away with me, leaving Chaeyoung behind.

No!.

I can’t leave him all alone. What was going to happen to him? What if those people were there to hurt him?.

"Mom", I called as she kept running with me. I wanted to stop but couldn’t.

I didn’t want to leave him behind. Immediately, two similar creatures flew on air and stood in front of mom and I.

We gasped in fear and stopped running.

They were so horrible and grinned in such a way that revealed their ugly faces. I could feel my heart thumping fast.

The two demons looked at each other and looked back at me.

"She’s the one", One of them said and pointed his bow and arrow at me.

What?.

Like a flash, he released an arrow at me but mom got in the way and took the arrow instead.

"No!!".

"Mom!!", I screamed and held her as she reached for the grass.

No, no. no.

What’s going on? Please no.

She fell on the grass with her head on my legs as blood coming out from her body.

"Mom!!", I cried and held her face.

"Mina", She winced in pain.

"Run".

Tears dripped down my cheeks like rainfall. I couldn’t let this happen. Why did they have to do this?.

What have I done to them?.

I stared into mom's face. I couldn’t lose her. The demons grinned and came closer to me.

"Please stop it", I whimpered.

The second demons growled and pointed his bow and arrow at me and my eyes wide in shock.

He targeted it at me and finally let it go.

"I said stop!!", I shut my eyes and yelled at the top of my voice and stretched out my hand, trying to use it as a coverage as the arrow came towards me.

I was in dilemma.

Surprisingly, I heard a strange sound from the creatures and I opened my eyes to see them struggling on the grass.

The arrow, it was broken to pieces on the grass.

I opened my eyes wide in shock and looked around. What just happened?.

I looked at my palm which had been stretched out and noticed something strange there was a green light on it.

At that moment, I felt something different, a whole new feeling. It was so strange and powerful like I’ve never felt before.

What was going on with me?.
