Escaping Wonderland

Chapter 4: Are we stuck in here, forever?

I was completely taken aback by the beautiful shading of my enemy's eyes. My breahing hitched a little, but i quickly recovered and continued to bombard him with questions.

"So, Lucifer, what are you, exactly?" i asked.

"I'm a servant of Death- what humans call reapers." Lucifer stated, unwilling to spout more information.

"Why does Death wish for me to die so much?"

"..."

I sighed, then motioned for Skylar to tighten the noose around Lucifer's neck. He obliged and soon after,Lucifer told me wht he knew in between huge gasps for air.

"Well (pant) Death only told me (pant) a little but he said that (pant) the only reason why you just had to die (pant) was so that Death will not be humiliated..." he trailed off softly when he realised my angry glaring.

"HE WANTS ME DEAD PURELY SO THAT HE CAN KEEP HIS SOCIAL FRONT?!?!?!?!?!?! UHHHHHH, WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?!" i screamed out in rage an unintentionally kicked Lucifer in the stomah, causing him to groan in loud pain.

"Oops, soz man." i apologized half-heartedly as my mind was filled with curse words i wanted to throw into that stupid 'death god's' face. 

"What do you plan to do with me, now?" Lucifer asked.

"I don't frickin' care about what happens to you right now- Skylar, you choose what to do with him." i say as i stomp away.

I heard Lucifer gulp loudly as Skylar stepped right up to his face with that devilish smile of his. I smiled. No one could beat Skylar at punishing people.

*Random flashback*

"A-S-I-L-A, come out and play with us~" a flutey voice filled the air, tainting my ears of its mockery.

I silently cursed myself for falling into their trap. It was very well-made, one i could not possibly come out alone. Why, i only wanted to prove that i was not a weak 6 yr old. I only wanted to show them who was boss. Who knew that they would really call upon their older siblings to retaliate? 

"~Asila~ i know you're there." the sound from that snobby rich kid floated around.

"Ah, damn it, looks like i really need to blow it, this time." i cursed again then proceeded to a surprise attack.....which somehow turned into a massive fight. I hadn't anticipatd that there were two more people hiding- which kinda just foiled my fast plan. I was grunting in over-exhaustion, i was at my limit- for the first time in forever- and i hated it. I hated the idea of me panting loudly, stuck in a corner- helpless.

"Who's the weak one now?" they taunted, as they neared closer and closer, surrounding me in their menancing shadows.

One of the older brothers walked up and lifted my chin which made me look unwillingly into his harsh dark eyes. "You are pretty, such a waste. We can forgive you if you beg on your knees." he smirked, then swiped my face.

I spat in his face and scowled. "Ain't so fast, pretty boy, i ain't one who would bow down to the likes of you."

He casually wiped the spit and blood nd stood back up. "Well, i was about to give you easy, looks like my anger aint gonna stay in control no longer. Since there nobody around, i say lets beatthe living Hell outt her." with that his gang of four baulky looking boys stepped up, cracking their fists.

I smiled. "I never said i came alone."

Oh, that look on his face was just priceless.

3mins later.....

"You alright?"

"I've been through worse."

"You sure? They got you pretty hard in the ribs."

"Stop babying me, Skylar- you know how i am."

"Alright."

We walked away from the pile of groaning bodies which lay on the blood-saked floor.

"Do you think i overdid it?"

"Nah, they'll be fine- they aint so soft they'd die cos of you, Skylar."

*End Random Flashback*

The corners of my lips tugged into yet another small smile as i remembered tha day, when Skylar had came to the rescue and managed to somehow defeat four kids about 6 years older than himself. Really, i was amused. I could've done better if i wasn't so tired, but then again, Asila, Sklyar is a boy. I shook my head then continued to trudge in the highlight of Lucifer's loud screams.

I sighed as i reached the willow. Climbing up to one of its many branches, i sat and just thought about this second life. It was better than my previous, but then again, in this world i will forever be running from Death, which is quite tiring, considering that i could not out run him for any longer. Am i really stuck in this Pradise of Death?
