Chapter 33:

Not even words could describe the emotions I was feeling right now, and let me tell you, the dictionary is huge.

Maybe some words could define it.
Fear, shock, maybe even anger, but I knew deep inside those words never even cut close.

I just stared at the person in front of me in disbelief, hoping that this was just an illusion, that maybe I was just hallucinating, I know one thing about me and that's trying to make myself feel better even when I know the truth.

I could never avoid the truth, even if I say a million lies, it could never change the truth.
But...It wouldn't hurt to try.

"Impossible.'' I murmured, I wanted this to just stay a dream--no, a nightmare, anything, as long as I wasn't facing reality.

''Really? you're acting as if I died and rose from the dead.'' Mio stated as she leaned against the wall, out of the corner of my eye I saw something sharp sparkle in her hands.

She's just waiting for the right moment to strike, isn't she?

''Just....let me leave.'' I told her, while clenching my fists.

She scoffed.

''Are you stupid? I've been wanting to kill you since the day I met you, do you honestly think I'd let you go and live?''

I gulped.

''Well if you put it that way...yes.''

I simply continued to watch her movements, she may have this....knife thing, but I have a sharp shattered vase for a weapon.

But if you think about it...I'm at the losing odds over here, considering that I still have poison in my veins.

''You look pathetic.'' She said while starting to get near.

''Thanks for letting me know, I didn't know I was a mirror.'' I said sarcastically.

Her eyes narrowed into slits.

''Don't push your luck, I could kill you any second.''

I weakly smiled.

''Push, Push.''

She charged at me I quickly started to run.

Okay, I admit, I'm stupid, but Kami up above, help me!

I suddenly heard a crash, I looked behind me to see that Mio slipped on the shards of the vase I broke just earlier, the vase that I have in my hands just in case.

She groaned, some pieces went inside her skin, it was bloody.

Proof, Kami is real...I never doubt it anyways.

''So....she's weak and on the ground, you gonna kill her with that vase or what?''

My eyes widened.

''K-Kill?'' My eyes hardened. ''I'm not killing anyone.''

''After all that she's done to you?''

I stayed silent, and looked at her as she looked at me with a menacing glare, she couldn't stand, the shards were too deep inside her skin and she was losing blood fast, now I understand why adults always want us to stay away from glass when it breaks.

''I have a feeling I'd regret this in the future.'' I murmured.

''You're going to kill me?'' She asked.

I closed my eyes.

''No, that's why I'd regret it.'' As I said that I punched her in the face, knocking her out, I stared at her.

''Is she really knocked out? I've punched a lot of people but they still remained conscious so..I'm having my doubts.'' I said.

''You're a lucky piece of shit, you know that? But you're stupid, you can still kill her you know?''

I gulped.

''What did I ever do to get her to hate me so much?''

''I dunno, you know what? just go to the second stage, it's getting lame now, the challenge ended too fast, I didn't know I recruited a weakling.''

On cue, The wall just started going down to reveal a more spacious room, I looked around warily, who knows when there would be a man ready to jump out at any second to kill me?

When I realized there was no one but me, My eyes darted to the center of the room, with a note, I cautiously walked to it and slowly picked it up, scared I might activate a trap or something.

Scared, yet?

I huffed, I thought it was something else, I looked around, observing things more closely, what was I supposed to do in here?

"What am I supposed to do in here?" I asked.

"Shush, I didn't think you'd get this far, so I'm still thinking."

....Huh.
