Chapter 34 The End Arrives Without Warning (1)
'' What the hell are you doing here ?'', I ask Eric.
The little girl next to him must be his sister, she was short in stature and had Eric's blonde hair, but instead of blue, her eyes were bright green. Her hair was cut in a mushroom cut, which was considered cute these days. Her cheeks were chubby and her eyes were droopy.
I instantly disliked her.
I know that I created her and everything but I've always disliked children, running around with their little droopy eyes and snotty noses. Che.
But Eric's sister was someone that I didn't want to mess with, she's immensely talented, and it's a shame that Eric's going to kill her.
Oh, well.
'' Are you my brother's friend ?'', the young girl asks me.
I stare at Eric before saying,
'' No.''
I take Lecia's hand and walk into the theatre, leaving the two behind.
'' Who were they ?", Lecia asks
'' Classmate.'', I reply while searching for our seats.
'' We should have asked them to sit with u-''
I interject and say,
'' Trust me, they don't want to sit with us.''
I finally find our seats, the both of us sit and start munching on our popcorn before the movie even starts.
After a minute, Eric and his sister, Angela comes and sits in the seats right next to us.
'' Look, it's my brother's friend !!.'', the young girl shouts as soon as she sees me.
'Sigh'
Of course, their seats are right next to us.
~~~~
The movie is surprisingly engaging, only ten minutes have passed and I'm invested in it. I eat the popcorn slowly to avoid finishing it before the movie.
I feel movement in my popcorn tub and as I look down, I see a small hand stealing my popcorn. Angela wasn't even looking at me, she was just simply taking it...
Was it a mistake?
I move the popcorn tub away from her and focus on the movie again.
But yet again, her tiny hands manage to steal my popcorn...
This bitch.
I move the popcorn bag further away from her, she once again tries to steal them, but this time I swat her hand away.
She looks at me in surprise.
What?!
Are those tears, I see?
Good.
Cry all you like, you little brat....
'' Oww''
I feel someone pinching me from the other side, I look at Lecia who had a frown on her face.
What's her problem now?
She forcefully takes the popcorn tub out of my hands and gives it to Angela, who accepts the popcorn greedily.
Eric has a smirk on his face.
Looking at the 11-year-old gorilla eating my extra-large caramel popcorn, I remember why I hate children.
They get away with literally everything.
I'm a living example of this.
In my past life, I literally got away with murder because I was minor when it happened...
Or did I ?
The details of my past life were getting unclear to me now, it's like I'm slowly forgetting my own life. But I can still clearly remember the plot of the novel.
In the future, would I forget my past life completely ?
I don't know why.... but this thought saddens me a little..
I try to concentrate on the movie, but my mind keeps straying further away..
Maybe it's because, I didn't have my popcorn...
Damn that pesky brat.
I take my phone out of my pocket and browse through it.
Seeing this Lecia takes the phone out of my hands and says,
'' No phones.''
I sigh as I see Lecia putting my phone on silent.

* At The Same Time, Somewhere not that far away*
'' I refuse.''
Diane's firm voice travels throughout the room.
Just as her master had predicted an envoy sent by the angels had come to her with an offer.
Diane once again observes the odd envoy.
The envoy was completely dressed in white and was wearing a mask with the insignia of the angel Dina on it. He was quite tall and his blond hair was tied into a bun.
The angels had put forth an offer to the Hero Association... to Diane just like her master predicted. She immediately refused the offer.
The envoy currently appeared speechless, after a minute he regains his bearings and ask Diane why she had refused the mighty angels!
She thinks for a minute and answers back,
'' I'm just not interested.''
Even though the envoy was wearing a mask, she could feel him glaring at her.
'' You'll regret this.'', saying this the envoy leaves her office.
Diane had a bad feeling,
' I should inform master about this.', thinking this she takes out her phone and dials his number.
But unfortunately.... he wasn't picking up.
~~~~
The envoy walks into the church and gives a quick bow to pay his respects.
He then goes to the hidden floor underground and entered a room with a projector similar to the one in the demon's hideout.
He presses a switch and bows immediately as the figure of a woman appears.
'' Diane Creed refused, O bright light...''
~~~~
12 beings shrouded in darkness sat facing each other at a roundtable.
One of the beings shout in anger,
'' How dare that whore decline our gracious offer ?!''
None of the others react to his shouting until another being speaks up,
'' It is highly unusual indeed.... our data showed that Diane was someone that we could bring to our side.''
Some of the beings nod their heads, showing that they agreed with the being that had just spoken.
'' WE SHOULD JUST KILL HER!!!''
The being who had shouted first, shouts yet again.
A being that hadn't spoken until now, speaks
'' Not yet... she maybe a human, but she's a strong one. We don't have the necessary troops in human territory to kill her..''
'' WE CAN USE A GATE- I DON'T CARE HO-'', the being that kept on shouting gets interrupted by another being,
'' We can't use a gate... that wretched woman is still keeping an eye on us..''
Hearing the being's words, the atmosphere of the room becomes worser than it already was....
'' Didn't Diane Creed adopt two children recently ?...''
A smirk appears on the face of the being that had just spoken,
'' Why don't we...kill one of them and ask her to reconsider ?''
Silence descends upon the room....
'' Are the children strong ?'', one of them asks
'' No... the youngest one is rank 500 at the Unity.''
Silence once again descends upon the room, while the beings contemplated on what to do..
'' Why don't you send that 'toy' of yours, Dina ?'',
At this question, all the beings in the room turn towards Dina.
'' It's not complete yet.'', her voice was soft and tender.
'' That doesn't matter, for those orphans, that 'thing' is enough.''
All the beings in the room nod their heads and look expectantly at Dina.
Dina sighs and says in a defeated voice,
'' I'll send 'it' after them now.''
Some of the beings cheer at her words.
The man who had yelled earlier yells once again,
'' LET'S SHOW THEM THE MIGHT OF THE TWELVE ANGELS !.''
