Chapter 9

After we ate I went to my room.
I don't want to feel close to them so it's better if I'm just here first.
I was just dumbfounded looking at the ceiling feeling boring I couldn’t do anything.
I left my cellphone at our house, it's boring and so annoying!
For a few minutes I was stunned on the ceiling of something I could think of to do.
This house is big, maybe I'll just go round and round.
I left the room and started taking a walk.
Many pictures hung on the walls. Some of the ones I saw were the wedding photos of Athena and Jacobo.
Not even an ugly picture of Athena all taken of her is super beautiful. I feel so envy
Many may have criticized Athena before they married Jacob. I guess many men were heartbroken when they found out that Athena was married.
I looked at another picture and saw pictures of Vera and Raphael.
I also saw a photo of them when they were young, maybe I guess they were only about ten years old here.
If that's the case, did they grow up together? All the pictures of them are smiling except for Simoun who is always frowning and looks angry at the camera.
"Simoun is really like that. He doesn't know how to smile" said Vera who I didn't realize was beside me.
she was holding wine in her right hand.
"Are you allowed for drinking? How old are you?" wrinkled when I asked.
she looked at me and raised an eyebrow then angrily drank the wine.
"20 years old, why?" she answer as she swallow the wine.
"I look like a teenager no? What a small thing!" She said wiole lauging.
She's color red she looks like she's been drinking a lot.
"Where's your room? I'll take you there" I said to her then supported her in the back.
"Tsk! I can" she answered me and walked away slightly.
She walked like a penguin but she stop and approached a large picture hanging from the window. That picture of Athena and Jacobo when they got married.
"Look at this Athena, she married a man she can't have" she laughed while pointing at Athena's face.
"And look at this Jacobo too! He agreed to marry a woman he doesn't love" her index finger approached Jacobo's face.
she turned to me and looked at me without emotion.
"They look like shit right? They can run away from that wedding! But they still show up. That's why they're both miserable" she said then smiled.
It looks like she's really drunk, but I still want her to continue her story.
she swallowed the remaining wine in her bottle again.
and then she sat close to the floor, I approached to help her stand up.
"Aicah, don't be like Athena. Promise me. you don't know how much it hurts" she laughed
"You're drunk, I'll take you to your room" I replied then helped her stand up.
"Take me to Raphael's room, I'll just sleep there" was her closed answer.
Gosh! I don't even know where his room is, it's still Raphael's room.
It was very difficult for me to support her because she was so heavy.
Where are the people here ?? I need help! Vera's weight is so heavy
"Can I ?! Take it easy!" I said angrily to her.
she opened her eyes and looked at me badly. she raised her hand slightly, I don't know what's her trip was but I was surprised when she suddenly floated.
I was too scared to walk away from her. It's not like she's involved! "V-Vera" I stuttered calling her.
Athena came out of her room correctly. she immediately approached Vera and pulled her leg down.
"Vera! You're really crazy! Why did you do that !?" Athena whispered as she gently slapped Vera's cheek.
"W-what's G-going on with H-hER?" I shuddered at the question. Athena turned to me and ran towards me.
"Go to your room first, I'll explain" She replied then gently pushed me.
Athena's POV
Embarrassingly, Aicah shouldn’t have heard Jacob and I talk anymore.
If I only knew She was there, I would have just kept my mouth shut.
Jacobo and I have been married for three years but until now he still has not learned to love me.
I hope one day he loves me too, even if just one day is enough for me.
The important thing is I can at least experience love back.
Little by little the tears fell from my eyes and I immediately wiped them with my palm.
No! I will not give up! I will stay by his side even though I know he can't love me.
After I convinced myself that everything was okay I felt thirsty.
I got out of bed and left the room.
I was shocked when I saw Vera floating while Aicah was terrified looking at her.
It was also sweaty and trembling with fear. I immediately pulled Vera down to the floor, she was so drunk.
Vera has the ability to move or float objects using only her mind.
But when She’s drunk it floats itself, She feels like maybe She’s flying.
I let Aicah into her room first. It was too scared to run away from us.
I pulled Vera into her room, we were just next to each other.
I slowly laid her down on the bed and gently hugged her. Her face was red and her body smelled of alcohol.
Before I went to Aicah was cleaned and I dressed her first.
I'm used to cleaning and dressing him every time he gets drunk.
"Raphael should be the only one you ordered to dress me" she closed her eyes. I just laughed and left her room.
I had already walked to Aicah's room, but Aubrey stopped me.
She was very sweaty and also looked very scared.
"I-I saw T-that t-too e-earlier" she stuttered.
"I'll explain" I answered calmly.
"No! She's not normal! Vera must be possessed by a demon! How many times have I caught her moving things? Our lives are dangerous to her!" long explanation of it.
Why isn't Vera taking care of it! Aubrey still keeps convincing me that we should just leave here.
I just let her talk while I dragged her to Aicah's room.
When we went inside, I made them both sit on the bed.
"Don't come near Vera! There's something in that devil!" Aubrey whispered to Aicah.
Aicah's eyes widened and she looked at me in horror.
I just got on my forehead because of what Aubrey was saying.
Now that I understand Simoun why they are annoyed with Aubrey, I know the feeling.
I sighed and smiled at them.
"Vera is not a demon, she just has the ability to move things using only her mind" I began. The two of them exchanged glances, it seemed unbelievable.
"We all have different abilities" I added.
They just listened quietly, obviously interested in knowing everything.
"Simoun and Jacobo have the ability to transform as a wolf. Werewolf if you call them" I continued.
They both stared. "Raphael, on the other hand, can imitate the appearance of different types of animals but it can only take an hour" I explained.
"And I'm you-" I interrupted when Aubrey stepped in.
"You can heal right!" Gladly said it.
I smiled and nodded. she applauded herself happily.
she feels maybe her brains are really funny well she is, even if sometimes we give her a headache.
I hope I'm just Aubrey, I don't think it's a problem, it's just bullshit and laughter.
Maybe the taste of that feeling.
"Eh me? What is the ability do I have?" Aicah asked seriously.
I lost the smile on my lips because I honestly didn't know either.
Simoun simply told us that the eighth savior can bring peace to all.
"That's what we need to know" I replied.
"Where are they Simoun?" when I change the subject.
"Tsk! I hate him! He always leaves without even saying goodbye to me!" Aubrey sighed.
It looks like we have a new member ah, a group of women chasing after a man they don't like.
I just shook my head, she would definitely only get hurt if she continued to feel that way.
They both looked at me and noticed that I was stunned by Aubrey.
"I just remembered something, sorry" I apologize.
