"She's the last descendant's tamer!"
"She's a demi-god, right?"
"She's Lelith's daughter, you idiot!"
"But why did she become a tamer if..."
"Shut up! She might hear you!"
"I'm sorry, alright?!"
I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh.
I already heard everything; you piece of shits!
I drastically placed my spoon on the table and massaged my temples in frustration.
Why? Because first of all, I'm the main topic in this place and second of all, never in my entire life have I ever imagined, Sheol has a canteen for cursed tamers like me. I mean... LIKE WHAT THE HELL?! Actual hell!
"Hey! Control your temper."
Adding this nuisance that's been talking inside my head whenever I'm out of my cell. Yes, it's Yosuke. He's talking to me through telepathy like all time for peace's sake!
I don't know how they do it but I hope they'll stop. It's getting annoying!
"Shut up, Yosuke!" I snorted and I heard him laugh together with Chad and Greg.
"Wait until I get out of this place, you more-ons, I'm so gonna get you!" I said, sternly, which shut them up for good.
"It's Yosuke!" Chad raised a defense. "I'm not here!" He added and finally, their voices faded away except for Yosuke.
"So, when are you coming out? Your brother, Carter, is been taking good care of us which is obviously not needed!"
I drew a sigh. "I don't know. Aiden isn't around and my brother, Anthony, is out for another war with his brothers. I don't have any idea what's gonna happen." My lips thinned in frustration, squinting my eyes.
"I still have to tame the last descendant no matter what so I can leave this place for good and find the sorcerer's book before it's too late."
"Do you already have the idea where it is?"
"Kinda... but I'll search for more."
"I wish we could help you, milady," it's Kurama talking. "We'll wait for your soon return and we'll find that book together."
"Are you talking to your tamed descendants?" I looked up and saw a lady, around my age, smiling at me.
She placed her tray of food on the other side of the table where I am dining.
"Uh... yeah," I answered briefly.
"Hmm... is it okay if I join you here?" She asked again and I nodded.
She didn't talk afterwards and ate her food peacefully but what annoys me are the gossips which were getting louder and louder.
"Why are they here?!"
"Aiden is planning to kill us all, isn't he?!"
Those were the only words I heard clearly which made me stop from playing with my food and looked at the girl in front of me who's already looking at me.
"You're also a demigod, aren't you?" I asked and a smirked curved on her lips.
"Then you're Tabitha, I supposed?" She questioned back.
"Charlotte?" I gasped.
"Got it right, sis." A grin plastered on her face making me roll my eyes skywards.
That explains the gossips. Tamers tend to get scared around Charlotte since she's known to be the most dreadful night deities before.
"Would you mind explaining why you're here and don't tell me you're also cursed?" I groaned.
And yes, Charlotte is our sister from Lelith and the god of eternal night, Damon. I've never seen her yet and only knew her by name, not until now.
"You guessed it right again."
"What the hell?!" I cussed.
"We're in hell c'mon!" She snorted and devoured a spoonful of food.
She then pulled the scarf away from her neck and pointed the curse mark creeping around it. It looks similar to mine—a chain which have not connected yet.
"Adonis was the one who put this curse on me to well... to stop me from killing these pests!" She looked at the people gossiping around us and shot them a glare.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" She shouted and everything went quiet in an instance.
She rolled her eyes and looked back at me. "Once the chains connect, father will come and lock me in the night for like... forever," she explained. "And since mother Lelith's blood runs through my veins, I'll probably die."
"But you're a night goddess, why is that even possible?"
She shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe I'll survive for a couple of nights and then die eventually. So as much as possible, I should never use my powers or else these chains will connect."
My forehead creased.
"Does that go the same for me as well?"
Her brows raised and looked at my wrists. "Oh! So that last descendant really did curse you, ah? And to make that sound a bit worse, he tried claiming you." She giggled and I shot her a glare.
"You're lucky, mother sealed Zeke inside you before he planted his curse. At least that'll give you enough time to find the sorcerer's book to help you break the bond."
"But I don't have the exact lead to where that book is, adding the fact that Aiden won't let me leave this place."
She twitched her lips and seem to be thinking of something.
"Hmm..." she hummed and leaned closer to me. "Do you really want to leave this place?" She asked which made me sprang on my feet for a while.
"And then get killed by the gods? No, thanks. That won't give me any chance to save mother." I snorted.
"So, you're just gonna sit here and wait until Aiden's further plans?" She asked. "Let me just remind you, your mother is no longer a goddess. She'll die if you won't do anything fast."
I flinched in realization.
"Why? Do you want to help me?" I muttered.
"Why?" She asked back and pooched her lips out. "It's Yosuke's will to help you out and to make it clear, I'm helping him and not you."
I chuckled.
"So, Carter is right. You really had a crush on him."
Her cheeks went red and immediately averted her gaze.
"We only met now and you're judging me like that already? What kind of disrespect is this?" She whined and I laughed.
"You should be helping me because I'm your sister and not because of you like Yosuke so much," I teased.
"Shut up, will you?!" She snorted and drastically stood up. "If you want my help, meet me at the bridge of the lost souls by the setting of the fireball."
She walked out leaving her unfinished food on the table and in front of the dumbfounded me.
