Destroying My Own Novel

“Are you both alright?” Beldathiel asked as she slowly turned her body around. She saw both Zherlthsh and Vixelleth laying on the bed in their true form, they both couldn’t contain Mazikeen’s power at all.

Zherlthsh groaned as she slowly turned herself to her human form and looked at Beldathiel who seemed fine. “I’m sorry, sister, you’re the only one who can handle such power,”

“It’s getting warm but this is fine, it feels comfortable,” Beldathiel turned around again and hugged the body pillow that Zherlthsh brought for her. “I never thought she would listen to me,”

“Of course, it’s because we both are here and that alone is enough to persuade her,” Vixelleth answered as she turned herself into her human form. “It’s all thanks to you, sister, who visited Mazikeen in her dream,”

Beldathiel spent almost her entire life sleeping and it gave her the power to travel to different realms in her sleep. She could visit everyone’s dream and that included the Gods and Goddesses but they didn’t sleep.

It was Vixelleth’s idea to bring Mazikeen because Mazikeen was the only one who stood up for her and Zherlthsh when the other sisters were messing around with them. Beldathiel visited Mazikeen in her dream and told Mazikeen about Zherlthsh and Vixelleth. It wasn’t easy Beldathiel had to visit her over and over until Mazikeen realized all the dreams she had in the past few days.

“Now what? Mazikeen’s power is inside my body and doesn’t that make her useless if she possessed no power?” Beldathiel was rubbing her nose on the body pillow because her nose was itchy.

“She’s residing inside a human body, she’s possessing the woman’s body and until then, we will find a way to get her out,” Vixelleth answered and sat down on the sofa next to the bed. “It would be a problem because it’s going to be hard to get her body down here,”

“Our eldest sister knows about what we are doing down here, and it’s better for you to stop bringing more of our sister down here. She has spoken and the other sisters have to obey her call, so the next sister you’re planning to bring, she won’t hesitate to hunt us down. That being said, we will be on our own from here and out,” Beldathiel said as she yawned and stretched her legs._.

“Yes, sister, we understand,” Vixelleth nodded her head and looked at Beldathiel was slowly closing her eyes.

A week had passed and they didn’t want to clear the fifteenth floor of the Behemoth tower. Agnez hadn’t fully recovered from the possession even though she wasn’t controlled by Mazikeen anymore. One thing that she realized was that she watched and listened to the conversation when Mazikeen choked Zherlthsh and Vixelleth.

“Agnez?” Jeanne stood in front of the door and looked at Agnez who was staring at herself in the mirror with her left pupil color slowly turning grey. “We have to go, Miss Lyneth wants to bring everyone to the meeting with the Fraternity and the governments about the breakout,”

“I will guide you,” A sinister voice could be heard from inside Agnez’s skull. “Trust me,”

“Stop it!” Agnez yelled as she stared at her own reflection and she was furious with whatever she was staring at.

Lillith and Nagy hurriedly went to Agnez’s room to check up on her, and the first thing they saw was Jeanne who looked a bit scared of Agnez. They both looked at Agnez, she looked like a mess, and Lillith was the only one who dared to get close to her.

“Let me take care of her,” Lillith looked at Jeanne and Nagy as she nodded her head.

Jeanne and Nagy nodded with understanding and then they left the room.

Lillith slowly wrapped her arms around Agnez’s head and put Agnez’s head on her chest. “Can you listen to my heartbeat?” she asked and looked at Agnez through the mirror.

Agnez did the same thing to Lillith back when she was stuck inside the world of memory. Agnez comforted her by putting her onto her chest to listen to Agnez’s heartbeat. She slowly calmed Agnez down and she also knew about the truth because she looked into Agnez’s memories.

“Thank you, Lilly, you can leave now, I need to get change,” Agnez said as she leaned her head away from Lillith’s chest. “I’m fine now,”

Lillith smiled and nodded then left the room then closed the door behind her.

They all went to the conference room in the Guild Association building, Zherlthsh and Vixelleth were staring at Agnez when she entered the room. Agnez glared at them and that was enough to tell that she knew about their true identity.

“I’m going to the bathroom,” Agnez said and left the room on her own.

Agnez washed her face in the sink and when she looked up at the mirror, they saw Zherlthsh and Vixelleth standing behind her. Their eyes were glowing and it gave her a chill down her spine but she wasn’t scared of them because she knew that they couldn’t hurt her because of the demon inside her body.

“Zherlthsh, right?” Agnez stared at Zherlthsh through the mirror. “I thought Mykel defeated you,”

“He did, many times,” Zherlthsh answered.

“Then, who’s she? Another demon lord?” Agnez asked with her trembling voice of anger.

“Yes, my sister, Vixelleth,” Zherlthsh answered and nodded her head.

“How about the demon inside my body? Who is she?” Agnez asked again and this time she clenched her fists that she started to hurt herself and blood came out from her palms.

“Before I tell you her name, I want you to not speak her name out loud or inside your head because she will take control over your body immediately,” Zherlthsh said as she stood right behind Agnez. “Mazikeen is her name,”

Agnez unconsciously repeated the name in her head and before she could finish saying Mazikeen’s name, she heard a loud scream that came from inside her skull that startled her. She fell down but Zherlthsh grabbed her body before she fell to the ground.

“I told you to not call her name,” Zherlthsh said as she helped Agnez back up.

“Let go of me,” Agnez said but she was still leaning onto Zherlthsh’s body.

Agnez turned around and looked at them both. “So, it was you who killed Caesar? And it was you who killed hundreds of Awakeners?”

“Of course, but it was all under Mykel’s order,” Zherlthsh answered.

“So it was all Mykel’s doing all along, he was the one who made all these messes?” Agnez leaned on the sink as she held her head. “I don’t care if he did because that doesn’t affect me, I’m just wondering why he did all this. What’s his goal?”

“If you want to know the truth, you ask the wrong person. How about you ask about it to Mykel himself?” Vixelleth replied with her arms crossed. “I don’t think you’re ready for it,”

“Speaking of Mykel? Do you know where he’s right now?” Agnez looked at Vixelleth with her eyebrows furrowed.

“No, we don’t know where he is because we are also looking for him. There’s only one explanation to his whereabouts, but that’s something that we shouldn’t be talking about,” Vixelleth said as she looked at the ceiling.

“That’s fine, I will ask about it to him when he comes back,” Agnez said as she weakly walked out of the bathroom.

Agnez looked at Lillith who was standing in front of the bathroom and then Lillith saw Zherlthsh and Vixelleth come out from the bathroom. Zherlthsh and Vixelleth smiled at her as they walked past her, then she approached Agnez to check on her.

“Are you checking my memories right now?” Agnez asked and stared at Lillith with a straight face which hard to tell if she was angry or fine with it.

“I’m not, but I did check your memories when you were still hospitalized,” Lillith answered and shook her head.

“You can look at my memories right now,” Agnez said as she walked the hallway with Lillith.

“No, I think I already heard enough from your conversation and also…” Lillith paused and made Agnez curious about what she was about to say.

[0)ᴠʟ “Also what? Do you know something that we don’t know?” Agnez asked.

“Let’s talk about it later once we are done here, I don’t want to tell you about this in public,” Lillith said and looked at Agnez who was staggering and so she helped Agnez walk back to the conference room.

They both went inside the conference room and all the seats had been taken, everyone gathered to talk about the breakout and the plan on dealing with it.

Lyneth was standing in front of the podium in front of hundreds of people including the people from the media. She looked at the piece of paper in her hands, she prepared the speech for the occasion but then she crumbled it and put it in her pocket.

Lyneth took a deep breath and exhaled deeply. “Good morning, and let’s cut the chase and talk about the breakout that will happen next week. We are on our own, and we are the only one who can protect this world from the demons,”
