Part - 3

The next day, I never get out of the classroom, I joined them for dinner. I act happy even if it feels like my heart's squish dry whenever I see Lucifer. At night I sneak out to the library and I keep doing that for 5 days. I act normal, play games with Levi, keep defeating Belfe on card game, asking Satan for book, sharing my food to Beel, letting Asmo paint my nails and untying Mammon from being hang upsidedown. Luke seems like he already forgets my confession about Lucifer, which is good. I'm working on moving on, before it tears me apart. Sound distressing, but that's life.

Days, weeks past and now I'm back at the baseball court and it's crowded with demons wanting to witness the game of the 7 brothers. I didn't bother to squish myself to those who want a front seat, so I'm at the very far bench. They look like ants from her. Oh- there's actually a wide screen for us back benchers.

I'm a huge ignorant about baseball yet I learn a little while watching them. I can't believe Lucifer is a slow runner, despite all the mistakes his brother did, he is still running to get the home run and Satan got him. He always wants to win against Lucifer and he look so happy right now. Lucifer is always been a good brother, one thing that I admire about him. How am I suppose to forget this feeling!

And the game ends just like that...lame... Or I just can't feel the game intensity from here.

I tear a paper from my notebook which I brought along with me. I also have a book here, the one that I've been looking for. I need to return this to the library after school so I need to hurry and do what I need to do.

"Under the constellation who sees, the seal created can only break by the one who create it. I MC, releases, Mammon, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satan and Belphegor from the pact."

This doesn't sound right to me. Is this even a magic word? Why it's so plain?And nothing happens. Does this book a real copy or it's a mock. The spell is weirdly easy.

🐑🐑

I line up with the crowd to the exit after wasting my time on a spell that didn't work. I'll ask someone's help this time, but I really want to keep everything a secret. Who I can trust that knows how to break the pact? My brains about to burst, I guess I'll think about it later.

My feet have been aching standing here for awhile. Also a poke in the heart comes suddenly, this is the very place where I see Lucifer and Sadie together. That I want to forget, and I just remember it and I'm doom again! Sigh. Demons are lesser in this area most of them are outside back to their classes. I'm obviously late. A run might help with an aching feet, huh, sounds fun. I should have not waste my time watching the game I didn't enjoy.

I massage my leg before moving out I'm seriously in pain. As I try to step outside, my mouth gap, stun.

Lucifer!

Why I always see him in this very part of the school?

The wind is kinda odd, blowing both our hairs to the side.

"You've done it." He say while pacing towards me.

"What?" Done what? I'm confuse.

"You release them from your pact and they are looking for you."

"It... it works?!" How on Devildom that works?

"Yes. Now it's my turn to do what I promise."

"No, I won't do any pact from now on. It's nonsense... if I think about it, specially that I will not stay here for a long time."

After days of over thinking I came up to a decision that make sense. And — not selfish. I guess.

"MC! You — you, human!" Mammon yell, sprinting towards us.

"Why?!" He continue to shout, pushing Lucifer aside. Surprisingly Lucifer don't look furious about it, maintaining his stern face.

"Are you! out of your mind..." Mammon babble out words. But, I completely ignore him as my eyes follows Lucifer who's now walking away. He must be satisfied on my decision that he doesn't need more explanations.

🐑🐑🐑

Hand slam in my forehead out of disbelief, the six of them are here in my room. The reason why the house is so quiet when I came in. They gather here without informing me and I know the exact reason. I prepared myself for this.

"Isn't it something you should be happy about?" I say after my explanation. Though I didn't mention about Lucifer. I take all the blame. As I should.

"I am," Levi response, with a wide grin.

The others remain quiet.

"I'm sorry I didn't inform you before doing it. It's my fault, I read the spell. I usually read with my voice so I... I cast it that way." I'm honest about this.

"Alright I think we are settled, still you scared me I thought you're angry at us." Asmo speaks.

"I'm not. Why would I?" I smile, showing assurance.

"You will still share your food with me, right?" Beel is eating the bag of chip I brought yesterday.

"Of course!"

They starts to accept my decision. That gives me relief.

Before controling demons I think I need to start controling myself first, means my feelings, my ego, my jealousy etc. Also control my curiosity. I'll do my best to not stick my nose to something that isn't my business.

🐑🐑🐑

Lucifer wasn't on breakfast with us, and he's not in his classroom too. I'm not worried or something, I just... Miss him! Because of that I found myself standing in front of this piano here in the music room. I thought I'll find him here. He must be with Diablo somewhere. I hope somewhere, where Sadie is not around. I feel like I'm starting to grow a horn in my forehead. My bad blood towards this Sadie whom I never know is getting worst. I'll be honest, I hate her purple hair and she's taller than me, I hate that too.

I press one key on the piano and it plays a ghostly sound, I tap the other, and again. That's terrible yet it's tempting to touch it, even if I don't know how to sync the sounds. Curiousity streaks at me like a blazing arrow. I should start learning this, when I have free time. That means when I'm motivated to do so.

I quickly do a turn, after feeling a presence behind me. I thought it's Lucifer but NO it's someone I don't know. His a bulky huge man with red eyes no white part, jet-black hair. He looks creepy as he continue to stare at me. At his back, that I just notice is a girl with red hair. She's unfamiliar too. They might be members of the music club and they hate the way I play the piano. I should go back to class before I get scold.

"I... I'm sorry," I bow a little and pace towards the door.

"Who told you to go?" The girl say casually.

"I'm sorry I have class, so I really need to go." My heart's racing, out of fear. The guy never say a word yet he looks at me like he's about to eat me alive.

I don't have time for this. I grab the door knob but stops knowing that it's lock. I swiftly do a turn facing them. Is this something serious that I need to panic? Something like in the horror movies. They walk closer so I run to the other side, to reach the other door, it's also lock. Why the window isn't something made of glass so that I can just break it and run away? I have no escape plan.

What should I do?

"My friend here is hungry and he wants some fresh sheep. So I brought him here." She grins.

I can feel my hand tremble, my breathing is faster than usual. I can't think of any way to escape this demons. If I yell — "Is someone out there?! Please help me!"

Both of them chuckle. I'm completely aware that every classroom here in RAD are sound proof yet I have no other choice. Someone might hear. Someone should hear me.

"Don't be scared, they say being eaten by a demon doesn't hurt at all." She continue to walk closer. Now I'm trap. I push her away but she never flinch or react.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I hate you! Mammon's obsess with you. Are you somewhat an equivalent of a million Grimm?" She hiss.

"You know what Diablo will do if he finds out that I'm dead right? Lucifer will probably kill you."

"I'm a clean killer my dear. They might find out but maybe on a thousand years. A thousand years of no justice for you."

I gasp. She suddenly grab my arm and the other, pulling it together behind me. I can't fight back she's too strong. My burning tears now falls.

Will this be the end?

My mind completely give up, I can't escape this. Yet I can't die without trying, I need to fight back at least. I kick her foot hardly with all my strength but she didn't flinch so I kick it again and again.

Now I'm losing strength and catching breath.

"Come on Rouge! Bon appetit."

The guy in front of me grin showing his sharp teeth and his moving towards me. I close my eyes as I let my legs collapse. While the girl is pulling me upwards. My shoulder will break, it really hurts.

A slam of something heavy force me to open my eyes, the girl also looses her grip on me. The guy lay in front of me unconscious, he's just inches away. I glance up seeing Lucifer in his demon form. Looking fiercely at the girl behind me.

"I'm sorry, we're just playing." She beg. I never try to look at her but I can sense her fear. "Please!" She plead again.

Lucifer's face doesn't change as he walk closer. He raise a hand and sway it down quickly, it's so quick that I never see it move. Then the girl collapse behind me.

Everything turns quiet.

"Now that you release my brothers, being alone is a suicide MC." Lucifer speaks after a moment.

He lean down, looking at me. His brows furrows. Is he annoyed? I can't see any hint of concern on his face so maybe he is.  I almost jump up when he suddenly wipe my almost dried tears.

Still, the relief I feel right now is unexplainable. I don't exactly know why I'm afraid to die, but now I get it. I'm afraid not to see him again. I'm afraid that the last time we talk will be my last memory of him.

I thought I'll be dead but he came, the person I'm afraid to lose.

I pull his arm closer and spring for an embrace. My hands still trembling but it's not that worse as before.

"Make a pact with me?" he whispers as he move his arms around me.

"I know... you just want to fulfill your promise because you're prideful. And I also know that you'll regret making a pact with me." I tighten my embrace.

I feel so safe when he's around.

🐑🐑🐑

Lucifer told Diablo about what happened in the music room and his brothers race to the council meeting after they are informed. All of them are so worried, and keep asking if I'm alright. I assure them that I am, only a little pain in my shoulder but it's not that serious. I am so thankful that they care, and it seems new to me. I wonder who I am back to the human world. Why being cared is something I've never felt before.

"I can't believe you release us from your pact yet you make a pact with Lucifer! Lucifer!" Mammon frown angrily.

This part I can't explain. After I release them I got one year to wait before I can make a pact again with the same person I release. So if I want to, I still can't and Mammon is sulking about it. I didn't read the consequence on the book of spells, and never ask them so it's actually my fault.

"You should be thankful that she made a pact with one of us or she'll continue to look like a walking meal for the demons around here." Satan defends.

"Right!" Beel raise a thumbs up.

"If you're jealous just tie yourself around MC." Asmo interrupts.

"Who's jealous?... I'm not jealous! It's not that... I'm just," He stammer.

"I'm really sorry Mammon," I say.

He move to walk beside me. "Remember MC, I am still your first man."

"You are," I smile. Like I have a choice he's already pissed.

"I'm second," Levi joins.

"I'm third...?" Beel isn't sure, I'm not sure also if he's the 3rd.

"The lovely me comes in forth, I can't believe it."

"5th," Satan raise a hand.

"That's not important." Belphe yawns.

The door in the council room opens, Diablo, Barbatos and Lucifer comes in.

"The demon who attack is already dead. I think Lucifer over use his power that Rouge didn't stand a chance. And, the girl named Eve, is critical right now." Barbatos utters. "Before she pass out she name Mammon as her friend."

Right, I remember she said his name. Am I worth a million Grimm? Mammon isn't actually nice and all to me but why she get so envious.

"Ah– knew her, she once give me her expensive bag to sell. Yet it doesn't worth that much." Mammon shrug his shoulders.

"We really thought she's your ex girlfriend." Diablo chuckle.

Mammon rub a finger on his chin like he's thinking.

"Your silence means, Diablo's right," Lucifer joins.

"I don't really recall but whoever she is she will never come an inch on MC again."
