❝ Hornless Devil ❞
—✦ Elara
Four sunrise had went by since the seventh victim of the Bloody Fire Serial Killing was killed. And throughout those four days, my head was clouded with thoughts and doubts—thinking that Kol Aiden. . .might really be Dark Soleil.
The night when the seventh victim was killed, Kol came back to the mansion while wearing a black cap, black jacket, and black pants underneath his raincoat. And I'm not halfwitted to believe his excuse.
Buying noodles during thunderstorm at one in the morning? That's some fucked up reason.
Despite the effort to keep my treatment of him the same as before, changes are still inevitable. Facing him only reminds me of the fact that he might be a serial killer—a psychopath underneath an innocent mask.
However, there's something that contradicts my thoughts, doubts, and suspicions.
The time when his former manager was killed, I found Kol sobbing in the storage room, mourning his former manager's death.
That moment turned my mind in disarray. . .
'Cause psychopaths. . .can't feel remorse, grief, or sadness.
And it's just so hypocritical of him to mourn the death of the person he killed.
I want to turn my back to him, but there's something within me that's holding me back from doing it. Kahit anong pilit ko, kahit anong gawin ko, hindi ko magawang lumiban sa mga braso niyang mayuming nakahagkan sa 'kin.
Unable to bring myself to turn against him, I chose to stay, though being careful to keep him from being suspicious regarding my change of behavior and treatment towards him as this might give him the idea that I'm doubting him.
However. . .
"Flint?" Pagkabukas ko ng pinto matapos makarinig ng doorbell ay bumungad sa 'kin si Flint na mukhang balisa at hapong-hapo. "What are you doing here—"
"Lara."
Hindi ko na natapos ang dapat kong sasabihin nang bigla itong pumasok at isinara ang pinto. Hinawakan niya ako sa aking dalawang balikat at isinandal sa katabing pader.
"There must be a hideout within Kol Aiden's mansion—wherein he plans his crimes and keeps the index fingers of the victims. Kaya makinig ka."
I'm not prepared with his sudden visit—and that sudden statement. Sa bungad niyang iyon ay nahirapan akong iproseso ang lahat ng kaniyang sinabi sa aking utak.
"We applied a search warrant to search Kol Aiden's mansion. But it was rejected because the higher up saw our affidavit as invalid." Saglit itong napatigil. Ang mga mata niya ay seryosong nakatingin sa mga mata kong nalilito na sa kaniyang mga isinasaad. "So please, help us. You're the only one who can search his entire mansion without getting suspicion from him."
