26. I was in Hell and It wasn't Great

STRINGS AND CHAINS

CHAPTER 26

You've got to be kidding me. A sacrifice? Me as a sacrifice? Well, I applaud Jax for this. This is definitely a great plan, sacrificing me as a food to the demons down here. Yes, here kasi nandito na ako. Okay someone pulled me down here. I was expecting na nakakatakot 'tong mapupuntahan ko kasi 'di ba we're talking about hell here and yet nasa isang maganda akong mansyon at nasa loob ng isang kuwartong punong-puno ng diyamante at ginto.

Nasaan ang apoy? Nasaan ang mga nakakatakot na nilalang? Wala akong ibang makita kung hindi mga nag gwa-gwapuhan na lalaki at naggagandahan na babae. Nasa impyerno ba talaga ako?

They are having a party here. They are all wearing tuxedos and gowns. Nag-iinuman ng wine. Nagkwe-kwentuhan. They are all shocked nang bumagsak ako bigla sa gitna ng party nila. Someone came to me at kinaladkad ako patungo dito sa kuwartong kinaalagyan ko ngayon. And right now I am just waiting. Kung anong gagawin nila sa akin.

Jax told me to pray and I did. I did pray. I prayed na sana hindi nga maging pagkain ng mga demonyo rito, but I also prayed na hindi ako maging katulad nila. If I survive this, how am I going to cut Jax's dick? Anong feeling na mawala ang source ng buhay niya? Napangiti ako sa naiisip ko. I'm beginning to imagine things and I'll definitely enjoy seeing his reaction when I do that.

If I can do that.

Napatingin ako sa pintuan nang bigla itong bumukas. Napanganga ako sa nakita. A woman with a coca-cola body and perfect vital statistics 36-24-36 dashed inside the room wearing a gold sparkling gown. Oh my god, literal na napanganga ako. This woman is definitely the most beautiful woman that I've ever seen. She has a unique face. Isang mukha na never mo makikita sa mundo ng mga tao. She has this powerful and very seductive aura na talagang wow factor and you can't stop yourself from gaping.

"This is her?" tanong niya sa lalaking nakasunod sa kanya.

"Yes, Madam."

Na conscious ako bigla nang tingnan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa. "Not bad," komento pa niya sa akin.

"So you are the sacrifice. What is your name?" tanong sa akin ng babae saka ito umupo ito sa ginintuang sofa niya.

"Maru," sagot ko naman.

"Maru," pag-uulit niya saka ito ngumiti. Oh my god talaga. Nakalalaglag panty ang ngiti ng babaeng 'to at kahit babae ako, natitibo ako. Naglalabas siya ng pheromones na kahit bakla, tibo, lalaki, babae, butiki, baboy, o kung anong hayop ka pa man, I'm sure mahuhulog ka.

"I'm Lilith," pagpapakilala niya.

"I'm sure you don't have any idea why you're here. To make the explanation short, I'm recruiting."

Kumunot-noo ako. "Recruiting for what?"

"For my army," sagot niya agad.

"Army," pag-uulit at pagka-klaro ko.

"Yes, my own army," sagot niya.

"I just recently escape hell-"

"Are we not in hell?" Nagtataka kong tanong.

Ngumiti siya ullt. "Oh, we're still in hell. Just in the shallow part of hell," sagot niya.

Shallow... What?

"As I was saying, I need recruits and Jax is doing a great job up there. So Maru, are you in or not?" dire-diretso niyang tanong. Ni hindi ko nga ma-comprehend 'tong sinasabi niya sa bilis niyang magsalita at sobrang straight to the point.
