novelTHE FUTURE CHANGED
| ← Ch.0964 | Ch.0966 → |
Raine felt frustration crept into her heart when she noticed that the two creatures had caught sight of her parents, who were sitting in the living room.
As if there was a tacit understanding between them, they started to walk toward them.
Seeing this, Raine couldn't help but remember every bloody detail that she witnessed when she found her parents lying dead in their own house ten years ago.
Everything came into her mind like a broken dam. Her fear, her despair, her hopelessness...
"NO!" Raine rushed toward the two creatures."MOM! DAD! GET OUT FROM HERE!"
However, before Raine could reach them, she felt the familiar feeling that she always felt whenever this thing happened.
The time was stopped.
The whisper of the wind and the rattle of branches that always knocked on the window, stopped. As though the whole world stopped moving, everything became still, filled with an eerie silence that sent shivers down to Raine's spine.
Realizing this sudden change, Raine stopped running and stood only two meters away from the two creatures that were about to kill her parents.
The time was indeed stopped.
But, whose doing was this? Raine didn't think it was her doing, if it was her she would know it...
"Hi, Raine..."
A voice greeted her, a very familiar voice for that matter, but somehow she didn't want to hear it, especially not at a time like this.
Raine straightened her back and turned around to face the devil.
"Sloth, " Raine said his name with venom on the tip of her tongue.
"Thank you for remembering my title, " Belphegor chuckled when he watched how tense the guardian angel before his eyes seemed.
"How can you be here?" Raine asked through gritted teeth, she watched as the devil emerged from the shadows before walking toward the sofa where her parents were sitting. He was standing too close to them for her liking.
"The same way, how you can be here, " he replied, shrugging his shoulders and staring at Raine with a lazy smile at the corner of his lips.
Raine then remembered what Lilac had told her about Serefina helping the devils to get the same power like them.
So, what was this?
Was this Serefina's scheme against her? The witch brought her here to watch all of this again and let the devil to be included too?
Did she fall into one of her traps?
Raine was confused. She still couldn't confirm whether Serefina was on their side or not. It was her sentimental feeling toward the witch that made Raine let her do what she wanted to do.
Raine thought that Serefina helped her. Did she over thought things?
However, seeing the Sloth here, she was not sure if her judgment was right.
Serefina... what do you want?
"What do you want?" Raine asked grimly. She didn't think she want to hear the Sloth's answer, but she definitely couldn't leave this matter slide without hearing what he had to say.
Belphegor shrugged his shoulders and shifted his attention toward Raine's mother, he stretched out his hand and touched a strand of her mother's hair.
"Don't touch her!" Raine roared, she took two steps closer, was about to pounce onto him if he didn't stop touching her parents.
Fortunately, the Sloth was not in the mood to aggravate Rainer any further, thus he retracted his hand.
"Why are you riling up so much?" Belphegor stared at Raine innocently."You are aware that they will not be left alive after five minutes from now." He then directed his golden eyes at the two creatures.
Raine knew what he was trying to say. Tonight, both of her parents would be killed.
However, it felt ridiculous for Raine. She was there and knew what happened, of course she could do something to prevent it, right?
"Are you thinking that you can kill the two creatures while the time is stopped?" Belphegor tilted his head, saying what exactly were Raine's thoughts right now out loud.
"I will kill them and you, " Raine said sternly. She balled her hands into fists beside her body, as she felt the rush of anger scouring through her veins.
She really wanted to kill those who had hurt her and her family.
"You can kill them, but definitely you can't kill me." Belphegor nodded to his own statement."But, everything will change."
Raine had heard those same words from Serefina before, but her anger clouded her mind, she didn't care what would change, what was important was now.
"Will you kill them? Knowing the future will change?" Belphegor asked, as he watched Raine rummaging through the kitchen looking for something.
This was her home, absolutely, even after years of not seeing or roaming around it, Rainer could still remember everything clearly.
Therefore, she crouched down and opened the cupboard. Her father had a big blade, a gift from his friend, but her mother didn't want it to be displayed, thus she kept that thing in this cupboard.
Raine knew it because she saw it when her father checked on the big blade.
The moment she opened the cupboard, Raine could see it and without a second thought she grabbed it and rushed toward the two creatures.
Raine could feel her sudden adrenaline rush was making her head ache slightly and her heart thumped wildly against her ribcage, but she didn't want to think or consider the consequences of her actions for changing the past.
Serefina's words had been long forgotten, including her life with Torak... it was like a dream... it was not real.
The real thing now was what she was seeing. And Raine didn't want to lose her parents twice neither did she want to live the life after she lost them again.
That was too much...
The life in the hospital...
The life in the orphanage...
Those creatures...
No. She didn't want to live through those memories again.
"Kill them and get what you want... this is the life that you want, right?" Belphegor said. He watched the angry guardian angel slashing the big blade in her hand and kill the two creatures before they could kill her family."Very good... now you feel better, right? Everything will be all right now."
