When Two Strangers Meet...

36th Meeting

❝ Like a tug of war, pulling the rope will drag the other.
A dreadful prize? The wreckage of someone who's in the middle.
Are you willing to sacrifice your own victory?
Your choice defines what will happen next.

Even if you don't deserve it. ❞

The Ghostman's mischievous smirk isn't what I'm expecting after I waited for him to passed by this part of the street. There are things I want to clarify from this entity that's why I tailed him after he brought Fleur on her home.

"What does a little devil like you wants something from me tonight?"

I make sure that we're alone in this place and no one would interrupt our encounter. If ever he attacked recklessly, walang madadamay na sibilyan na kakailangin ko pang iligtas sa mga oras na 'to.

He's way more unordinary, a higher entity to be exact.

"You're taking advantage of her return in Destinee Academy to achieve your selfish goal. You won't be lucky next time, Ghostman. I'll attend school tomorrow."

Nanatili ang kanyang ngisi at tila hindi naapektuhan sa mga salitang binitawan ko.

"You're late, Cupid. I already took the empty chair beside her. Paano mo siya mababawi mula sa'kin?"

His mockery didn't affect me too.

"It's only a chair. Have you forgotten that our seating arrangements were bound to change once the official classes start?"

He laughed on what I said.

"Flagrare Lufu BloodRed? Your name won't also let you sit beside her."

Kumunot ang noo ko nang marinig ang buo kong pangalan sa kanya. It's possible that he have known it because we're schoolmates. I never use my fullname except when I need to.

"I could read from your face, wondering why I've known your identity. Prior to our first meeting, during the visitation to that child's late friend, I already know you well. Cursed or not, the scrolls were still being sent to me."

Being the old Messenger of Life, he still has an access towards the information of Gifts or every souls that are bound to be born in the world. I don't have anything to worry about it since my personal life can't be used as my own downfall.

"You won't gain anything on what you know about me. A worthless father who keeps living with his vices and a mother who left the former that ruined him. That won't be used against me."

Sa kabila ng mga sinabi ko, tila natuwa pa siya dahil binanggit ko ang katotohanan sa'king pamilya. Seeing him not being bothered of what I said is little by little making me confused. He should be the one who's cautious of this moment as I followed him to confront. Unfortunately, the tables have turned. I'm falling into his trap of trickery instead.

What does he have under his sleeve?

My confusion still entertains him as his smirk isn't wiped off by my cold response. Nang tumingin siya ng diretso sa mga mata ko, patago kong sinuot ang aking kamay sa loob ng coat at hinawakan ang patalim na nakatago dito. I should be vigilant of his future actions. If not, I would never see the sunrise if I meet my own demise in the hands of this dangerous entity.

I know how he desires to take my life out of anger which I can't understand. As if what happened to him was my fault, he loathe me even though the only reason I'm aware why we're in each other's neck is because of how we see the Fate itself.
