"Lilith Rachet's..."
A trap!
At 11 p.m. Sena woke up from her silence because of that voice. No, it was not the voice that came from the surroundings, but the voice that always appeared in his dream. If you remember, this does not only happen once or twice. Sena had awakened too often because of the strange sound, a voice that seemed to ask her to come. Forget it, Sena is not the type of person who cares too much about dreams. He thought it was just a nightmare that appeared because he was always exhausted. After glancing at the alarm clock on the small table beside her bed, Sena pulled back her blanket intending to continue her sleep. It's not time to wake up. The room with the dim light was again silent after the last sound of Sena regulating her sleeping position, now only the sound of the clock ticking.
TRASHH!
A flash of light that came from nowhere through the glass window of Sena's room managed to make her wake up again. Sena went down her bed and walked towards the window and looked up to check out the window. There's nothing.
"Will it rain?" Sena muttered to herself. The lightning was shocking, but there was no lightning. Sena tried not to care about it, she walked back to her bed and soon went back to sleep. As if tonight would not allow her to go back to sleep, a tremendous thumping sound came from the backyard of Sena's house that made her not pull her blanket. Sena let out an annoyed breath as she had to check the sound.
At the same time, two creatures that were not clear in shape were fighting in the air. I don't know what it is, but obviously, it's winged. The two fought each other fiercely until finally one of them fell into the wall of one of the houses. That shape is creepy. With long fangs passing through her upper and lower lips, a sinister face shape, red eyes, as well as hair growing all over her body and a pair of bat-like wings attached to her back. The figure seemed to endure the pain and tried to get up. But soon something shining red hit right in his chest managed to make him bounce again.
Bugh! A foot then landed on his chest.
"Tell me what your purpose is"
The figure looked at him coldly. This one looks more like a human, but it has a pair of wings on its back, certainly not as coveting as this creature that is being stepped on.
"Lucifer, I don't understand what your obsession with this disgusting world is".
The figure laughed while grasping the legs of the figure he called Lucifer, occasionally trying to get rid of him from his chest.
Lucifer is freezing cold. He lifted his feet from the breast of the creature he was stepping on.
"I should have asked you that. Why did you come to a world you thought was disgusting?".
"What are you asking for?. Is that what you asked the Nosts you banished from Devildom?. If you ask me what my goal is, then the answer is to get the power to destroy Devildom".
Nost. It was the most loyal creature to the demon in Devildom. Their position was equivalent to that of the commander in Devildom, as the treachery that was done led them to be banished from Devildom and then to become lower level demons.
Lucifer looked at Nost sharply while only getting a mock laugh from Nost who had managed to wake him up.
"A traitor like you will never get the pleasure you expect".
Lucifer's gaze was cold and piercing while holding the long sword right in front of Nost's face. Nost was just smiling disdainfully as he raised both hands, he indeed had to give up this time.
"Traitor you say?, should you say that to yourself, Lucifer?"
Nost's final attack hits Lucifer before Nost disappears from his presence. Lucifer took a breath holding his regret. This attack meant nothing to his body. But the last words from Nost made his mind weakened and momentarily pensive. He wondered if Nost knew his purpose in this human world?. The sound of footsteps, Lucifer realized now he was in a backyard someone's house. Lucifer looked at the door that was about to open.
Sena opened the door and checked her backyard. There was nothing, he was sure he heard the sound of something hitting the wall of his house. He also checked his side of the house but found nothing there. Sena scratched her head that was not itchy, she began to think that she was just hallucinating from waking up in the middle of the night like this. Sena patted her eel "it seems like I have a lot of rest if I don't want to continue hallucinating like this" said sena alone. Sena then entered his house and closed the door. Right on the roof of his house, Lucifer perched there and soon disappeared leaving some black feathers flying until it finally touched the ground, then vanished.
It had been about 5 minutes Sena sat at the stop to wait for the bus. Today he will meet his friends at a cafe they promised yesterday. Today was his work holiday due to the weekend, so he decided to spend the weekend with his friends. Sena swung her smooth legs while sitting staring at her phone. In both ears are attached earphones, he is listening to his favorite music occasionally his feet create a little jolt and dance. It didn't take long, the bus he was waiting for had stopped in front of him. Sena pocketed her phone and then entered the bus, the earphones were still stuck in both ears.
Sena sat next to the high school girl wearing school sportswear. From his performance, it looks like he is about to go to school for a weekend club activity. Sena smiled briefly then refocused forward.
The bus stops in front of the next stop, but this is not Sena's stop, he still needs to stop at the next front stop again. The high school girl sitting next to him patted his shoulder. "Sir, I need to get down here" it turns out that he had reprimanded Sena several times, because Sena used earphones so Sena did not hear.
"Oh, sorry I didn't listen". Sena smiled uneasy while removing her earphones and turning off the song on her phone.
The high school girl smiled then passed by Sena. Unknowingly Sena's eyes followed the girl's back to get off the bus. He saw the brand on the sportswear that the girl was wearing. Nowari High School, Sena smiled because it was the High School where she used to attend. But the girl shouldn't have gotten off at this stop if she wanted to go to school. Forget it, it's not Sena's business either.
The bus stops at the Sena stop. He no longer wears his earphones but keeps them in a small bag that he sashes right.
"It makes me deaf". Sena said to herself before storing the earphones then got off the bus.
Sena sat at one of the cafe tables facing the street. He was still struggling with his cellphone reply to a message from Shigeyo, one of his friends who made a deal at this cafe.
'You want one? It's so funny, look at it'. The message went into Sena's phone screen after she took a sip of the latte she ordered after sitting in this cafe. Sena smiled grinningly at the picture sent by Shigeyo, she did not expect her male friend to like such a cute little doll. The doll was shaped like a squirrel with small ears on its head, with squirrel-typical teeth that made the doll look even more adorable, but Sena was not interested.
'Buy it for you, I won't'. Sena replied to the message.
'Then I'll buy one for Kana'. Shigeyo replied again.
'You sure he wants to?'.
'Why not? This doll is very trendy now'.
The last message was only read by Sena. Now he's focused on sipping his latte.
"Sena!".
Sena turned her head after hearing the voice she recognized. That's his friend, Kana. This friend always looks cheerful.
"You've been waiting a long time?".
Kana sat on the bench in front of Sena.
"Not really, I arrived about 15 minutes ago"
"Shigeyo hasn't arrived yet, has he?".
Sena grabs her phone and opens the log of Shigeyo's message, showing it to Kana. The girl in front of him grabbed Sena's phone and saw Shigeyo's message. He clicked on the picture sent by Shigeyo some time ago and a smile appeared on his face.
"Well, this is a trendy doll, huh?". Kana returned Sena's phone after reading those messages. Now he knows why Shigeyo is late.
"### That's how, he said he'd buy one for you".
"Then why don't you want to?"
"Just less interested, you know I don't really like having the same stuff as a lot of people"
"Friends!". Sena and Kana turned to look at the man walking towards them. It was Shigeyo, she was seen hugging two brown and white dolls on her arms.
Shigeyo sat down and gave the brown doll to Kana.
"This is for you, don't worry Sena, this girl is always selling expensive whenever I want to give a small gift". Shigeyo said to the person who was clearly next to him.
Sena cocks Shigeyo's head with her hands. Kana just laughed looking at Shigeyo who was complaining of pain.
"Thank you, Shigeyo". Kana received the doll. Shigeyo most often bought small gifts for them. Not wrong either, Shigeyo comes from a wealthy family compared to Sena and Kana who only live in a rental house and have a lot of side jobs, so giving small gifts to her friends was not a hard thing for her. Even so the three of them have always been good friends since High School.
"By the way there's a place I want to go. Want to try there?". Sena started talking about another topic.
"Don't tell me you want to go to that newly opened haunted house ride?". Shigeyo guessed. Actually he just mocked Sena because he knew Sena's taste was different from the rest.
"So you want me to take you there?". Sena throws a face of ridicule at Shigeyo. He knew his male friend was very timid.
"I don't want to go". Of course this guy refused. He even raised his hands in front of his chest to form a cross.
"What place do you want to go, Sena?". Kana asked that after keeping her doll in her bag.
"There's a tart cafe that just opened a few days ago, if I look at the rating it seems good. Wanna try?". Sena showed her phone screen which showed some pictures of a beautiful tart cake and looked good.
"Gee, I haven't eaten a tart in a long time, I'm going with you". Kana agrees.
"Why do girls really like such sweet food, after all the interior design of the cafe looks very boring". Shigeyo criticized the new cafe.
"I'm not taking you with me if you don't want to come". Sena pulled her phone out of Shigeyo's hand.
"Who said I wanted to come, I'd be the only guy who came to the pink cafe. It's not gonna happen".
Sena and Kana looked at each other frowning, what Shigeyo said as if he was a very masculine man but in reality very weak against cute things. As it had just happened today, he had even bought the stuffed squirrel.
"Good meal!". Sena and Kana looked happy while scooping the tart in front of them. Yeah, now they're at the tart cafe they were talking about.
"I can't believe I'm finally coming with you guys". Shigeyo, this guy ended up coming with his friends to a pink cafe that he called boring.
Really, as Shigeyo had said, he was the only male customer who had come to the cafe since it opened a few days ago. Shy feelings had enveloped Shigeyo's heart, but these adorable tart cakes melted his prestige. Now he is even enjoying the medium size tarts he ordered along with Sena and Kana. He smelled his smile as the sweet taste of tart filled his tongue, wanting Shigeyo to fly, but he had to keep his attitude as a man. This timidity and gentleness combined with sweetness really tormented the inner Shigeyo who wanted to fly.
Sena and Kana laughed silently looking at Shigeyo who was at the other table beside them. They knew Shigeyo wouldn't put up with these funny tarts. Because each table had only two seats so Shigeyo sat alone at the table next to Sena and Kana.
Today they visited many places, after finishing in the tart cafe recommended by Sena, they went to the astronomy museum to just look at the collection of celestial objects that are there. They were also treated to illustrations of night sky scenes with stars scattered across the galaxy. Not only there, they then went to the largest aquarium in their city. They can see the fish swimming from the aquarium as if in the middle of the sea. They also watched an adorable dolphin circus show, tried out large portions of ice cream and played a variety of rides at the amusement park. This weekend vacation feels very fun because they spend time together until unknowingly a long day feels very short.
Now that they split towards their respective houses, today was already quite pleasant. At 5pm Sena waited for the bus at the stop to get home. While Shigeyo and Kana have gone first with the bus that came some time ago. Sena is waiting for her bus to come. In order not to feel boring, Sena swiped her phone screen looking at the pictures they took today. Not to forget he posted the picture on his social media account.
Just a few minutes after the image was posted, Shigeyo's name appeared in the notification log.
'Shigeyo just liked your post'. Sena smiled at the pictures she posted, undeniably, she was having fun today.
Sena got off the bus and walked down the street to arrive at her house. Now that it is 5:30, the red light in the western horizon has begun to be clearly seen.
Sena immediately went into her room to clean up, today was quite tiring, but all of that paid off with the pleasure she had today together with her friends. He feels like he's back for his job tomorrow.
Suddenly a noise from behind her house stopped Sena's hand from opening the bathroom door. He walked towards his backyard to check on the sound that was bothering him from last night. He wondered if there was something. Sena opened the back door of her house and immediately walked into the courtyard. Like last night, he found nothing, when he heard the voice very clearly. Sounds like something hit the wall of his house. Suddenly a voice rang out from beside his house. Sena took the courage to check it out. Don't forget he grabbed the yard broom just in case. Several times he swallowed his saliva while continuing to walk slowly. He guessed what he would see.
"Dead you! A thief!". Sena steadied herself and flailed recklessly after she made it to the side of her house with her eyes closed. But there was no sound. If it was true that the thief should have cried out in pain when beaten by Sena, even if it was an animal would have made a sound.
Feeling strange, Sena slowly opened her eyes. He was sure that the broom handle he was using touched something.
Sena's eyes snorted in shock, her lips opened when she saw the figure in front of her at this moment. His lips were cupped to scream as if his voice was stuck in the throat.
The curled black-winged human figure was seen trying to avoid Sena, but he seemed unable to move. Sena still couldn't believe what she had just seen. Who is he?, is he a winged angel? Or is he a demon like the one in the movies?. No, Sena must be dreaming. Sena pinched her own cheek and slapped it occasionally, unlucky she didn't wake up. So this isn't a dream.
"Can you see me?" The figure speaks. Sena opened her lips as if in disbelief.
"K-ka-you.can talk". Sena pointed the broom handle towards the figure while stepping back a few steps.
The figure suddenly rose to make Sena extra alert with his bad horses but did not dare to attack first, the handle of the broom is still fixed on the figure.
His black wings looked shabby and very chaotic, there was a scratch on his right cheek and dried blood on the corner of his lips. Fuck that, Sena does not want to know where this creature came from, he is just wondering if this creature is evil
"Who are you, where did you come from". Stuttering Sena tried to make a sound.
The figure did not answer. Instead he approached Sena who made the girl even more afraid. Sena did not know what to do, his legs seemed not to be invited to run, his whole body felt stiff until he finally fell, the surrounding looked blurred in his eyes, and finally turned dark. Sena fell unconscious.
"Lilith Rachet's..."
Sena woke up after hearing a voice coming from her dream. Again, a strange voice that he did not recognize always appeared in his dreams.
Sena's head felt dizzy, her body felt very cold. He closed his eyes that were not fully opened. He wondered why the air felt so cold through his room. Suddenly he gasped for finding himself still in the backyard. No wonder why he felt so cold, it was even dark now. Oh my God, how long he's been asleep.
Sena just remembered now, she fainted after seeing a strange creature that was beside her house. Sena then ran into her house and tried to forget the strange incident she experienced this afternoon. He glanced at the wall clock on display as he reached the central room. At 8 p.m. Just be right! Sena slept outside for 3 hours.
Sena went into her room and immediately cleaned herself up. The shadow of the figure he had just seen this afternoon continued to flash through his mind. He wondered who it was, why it came here, where it came from, and what its purpose was to come to this world if it was true that it came from another world.
If you think back, the figure looks very injured. Sena could see the chaos that had already happened to the figure's body. Starting from his shabby wings and a few cuts on his face. Sena looked at the figure's face clearly, she looked like an ordinary, yet winged human.
Is he really an angel or a demon like the ones in the movies?. Or is it just someone wearing a costume like that?. But this isn't Halloween. Sena became curious whether what she saw was not just a hallucination or indeed reality.
A trap!
The room lights are off. Sena tried to sleep forgetting everything. He needs to work tomorrow, let's just say this happened because he was exhausted and hallucinated.
