369: THE VISION

THE VISION

Raine came in full preparation. She wasn't stupid and arrogant enough to think that she could defeat the devils all by herself or believe the conjecture that those devils would keep their words like a gentleman.2

With Belphegor holding her neck, Raine wrapped her hands around his wrist. Of course, to push him away was only an empty wish for Raine, her strength wouldn't match the devil's own.

However, she knew his weakness and could use it against him wisely.

Without the devils knowing, Raine had smeared her palms with her own blood. No, she didn't cut herself with the dagger that Sunny gave to her. Raine had already drawn her blood before she came here, because more or less, she knew what she would face.

Once Raine's palms, which were covered in her blood, made skin to skin contact with Belphegor's, he screamed in agony and abruptly dropped Raine to the ground.

Yet, before Belphegor could even recover from his shock, a beast jumped over Raine's head and pounced on the devil.

Seeing this, Raine immediately rolled her body away from their battle. She would have died if she lingered there longer.

Crawling, Raine approached Sunny, who was sobbing as the latter felt her entire body in pain.

"We have to go from here!" Raine informed Sunny and tried to help her to stand up, despite her complaints.

"What happened?" Sunny asked breathily. She looked at the scene behind her, but her puzzled expression told Raine that she couldn't see what she could.

Raine couldn't fathom what she was seeing and didn't have to figure that out as she was too busy to help Sunny walk and dodge the attacks that the latter couldn't see in order to get out from that rooftop, which now had turned into a battlefield.

Sunny grimaced and whined with every single step that they took when they walked down the stairs.

Raphael would be able to find Raine, hence she didn't need to worry about that, the only thing that she needed to do now was to protect herself and Sunny.

Raine was sure Raphael and the others would be able to take care of themselves.

"Raine, what happened there? Do you see that? Why do they want your blood?" Sunny was always a chatterbox, even in this situation she has many things to ask.

"It is much better for you to not know about this." Raine murmured under her breath, Sunny was not a fatty, but she was taller than Raine, therefore, she was struggling a little when she had to support the latter.

"Raine, I am so sorry, I have to do this because my family is being threatened by Mr. Reiz…" Sunny tried to explain herself.

"It's all right." Raine couldn't find a reason to blame all of this on her as the Andoori family was only out of luck for being caught in the middle of this catastrophic situation between the creatures that they didn't even know exist.

"My family is in need of financial support and Mr. Reiz from de Medici family offered his help…" Sunny went on with her rant.

On the other hand, Raine knew she wouldn't be able to stop Sunny from rambling her words out and explaining herself, thus she let her be.

Amidst of Sunny's rumble, Raine was trying to find a way out from the building and tried to remember the way back to the entrance door.

"… I want to decline Mr. Reiz's order, but my father said I have to do this for our family…" Sunny said regretfully. She gritted her teeth, trying to bear the pain.

However, when they reached the first floor as they walked down the same corridor that they passed before, all of a sudden Sunny stopped talking and shoved Raine inside a small room right next to her.

Caught off guard, Raine stumbled and fell to the ground as she heard a loud sound of the door being closed.

Raine immediately backed away and stood up. Her eyes turned rigid when she watched how Sunny's eyes had turned red.

Her eyes looked no different form the child's she met in the blue moon pack and also the eyes of those twenty five polices that came to their house a few days ago.

Raine felt a chill run down her spine.

Was this the time for her vision to come true? Sunny would kill her because she was possessed by dark magic?

So, it was true that the blood on Raine's hands was her own blood? Would she die now?

Raine remembered how difficult for them to defeat the child, if it wasn't for Torak, who held the child so Raine could deliver the final blow, Raine didn't even think she would stand a chance.

But, why wasn't Sunny affected by Raine's blood when she helped her out on the rooftop, but then Raine realized that Sunny was wearing leather jacket and gloves, the details that she had missed.

Sunny's lips split into an eerie smile when she tilted her head to scrutinize Raine.

"Sunny…" Raine called out her name, hoping she would answer her back or she could find a little bit sanity in her friend, but it was only her wishful thinking as Raine also knew there was no way out of this situation.

It was either her or Sunny who would die tonight.

Raine felt her throat tighten at the thought. The memories she had with Sunny and their other friends flashed before her eyes, such happy memories back then.

How they used to laugh and quarrel and how Sunny used to talk very fast and reprimand her about silly things.

But, is this how it would end?

Raine's fingers clutched tightly on to the dagger in her hand, the dagger that Sunny gave to her before. Sunny's condition couldn't be helped anymore…

When Sunny moved very fast to approach Raine, at the same time, both of the girls raised their hands and made slashing movements.

Raine managed to hurt her, but that wasn't the action that stopped Sunny, because the only thing that could stop her was Raine's blood and that was exactly what happened when Sunny pierced her hand through Raine's chest.
