Lucky's POV

Nangunot ang noo ko dahil pagkagising ko nandito na 'ko sa isang kwarto at nakahiga sa sahig. When I saw Erra lying there on the bed, I stood up.

"I've returned to the past..." I whispered to myself.

When the door opened and Zaphael— or should I say Noah, approached Erra and sat on the bed, it held Erra's hand tightly and sighed, one of my eyebrows rose.

"You're always in trouble, Erra." I blinked at what he said, wondering why he resembled Zaphael from that line. Parang sinabi na rin ni Zaphael iyan.

"Why are you so obstinate and numb, I make you feel what I felt, but you don't feel...so numb." I frowned and bowed.

Does he like Erra? It's not vague because it's obvious from the way he looks at Erra that he feels something about it. I felt strange at that thought, my heart suddenly filled with sadness for reasons I don't understand. Inalis ko ang isipin at naramdamang iyon, tapos tinitigan ko sila.

Noah quickly let go of Erra's hand as her eyes opened.

"Noah? Where am I?" Noah averted his gaze and then returned his gaze to her.

"You're at Nadia's house. I went looking for you when you didn't return right away, and then I found you unconscious behind a tree, so I brought you here." Erra nodded and then abruptly sat down.

"That guy! What happened to him?" Maybe she was talking about Draco.

"Who's the guy?" Noah inquired, and I read it with irritation.

"Draco, the man who saved my life." Erra lay down again, this time looking out the window next to her.

"Pamilyar sa akin ang kaniyang pangalan. Maybe the Draco you are referring to is the Prince of Demons?" When Noah said that, Erra immediately looked at him.

"Prince? Maybe he is," Narinig ko ang panghihinayang sa boses niya, kaya nagulat ako.

"So, how do you feel? Is there anything that hurts?" Noah asked, concerned, and Erra shook her head and remained silent.

I close my eyes, and when I opened it again, I'm in another place, still in the past, but on a different day.

"Will he show up? I hope he come here." I saw Erra sitting on a rock here in the river and I'm not sure how I got here, but with what's going on in this world, it's no longer surprising.

"Am I losing my mind? Why am I standing here waiting for him? And first and foremost, why am I here? Kabaliwan ang ginagawa mo, Erra." She got down from the rock and walked away from the river, but her eyes widened when someone suddenly grabbed her arm, and when I looked, it was Draco.

"What are you doing here?" Erra blinked and opened her lips, but no words came out. Inalis nito ang kamay ni Draco sa braso niya.

"Why? Ikaw lang ba ang may karapatang pumunta rito?" I can sense Erra's nervousness in what she's saying. Bakit siya kinakabahan?

"No," Draco responded sparingly and was about to walk away when Erra spoke up.

"Just a second!" Draco looked at Erra, who looked turned away.

"What?" Erra shook her head immediately. "How are you feeling?" Erra and I were surprised when Draco asked that, even thought it was dark and only the light of the moon served as our light, the redness of Erra's cheeks did not escape from my sight, and I laughed as a result.

She's cute!

"I-It's been a week since that happened, so I'm fine." What she said surprised me. A week?

"That's good." Tumalikod si Draco at nagulat ako nang biglang lumipat si Erra sa harapan ni Draco.

"Wait! Are you the demon prince?" Draco averted his gaze as they exchanged stares.

"Yes, but how about you?" Erra's brows furrowed in response to what Draco said, but she quickly averted her gaze.

"Nothing but honestly, it's just you've been like this...I mean I'm too unfamiliar with men, and it's spectacular that I want to get to know you better. I think I am interested in you." Draco's face was emotionless as I raised an eyebrow at what she said.

"Really? So, how about Noah?" Mahihimigan ng panganib sa tono ng pananalita ni Draco kaya natigilan saglit si Erra bago sumagot.

"What's the matter with him? He's my friend." She asked in astonishment.

"You stated that you were unfamiliar with men, and it was only through me that you became interested." Erra gave a nod.

"Oh! Except for Noah, of course." She laughed, and I noticed Draco staring at her, not moving his gaze away from her, and not even blinking.

He just stared and seemed fascinated by Erra's inherent beauty, which cannot be denied because she is stunning, kahit yata maging pulubi, maganda pa rin at kahit magsuot ng basahan, maganda pa rin.

When Erra noticed Draco's stare at her, she frowned and seemed shy from the way he looked.

"W-hy? B-bakit ganiyan ka makatingin?" Do'n lang napansin ni Draco na nakatitig siya kay Erra kaya mabilis na umiwas ito nang tingin, humagikgik naman si Erra. Draco was about to speak when he abruptly closed and opened his eyes, quickly pulling Erra into the water, causing them to sink. I wondered why he did that, and I only found out why because men were running and carrying a woman, which made me frown. Their have thin black bodies and dark red lips, I had no idea what kind of creature they were.

When they vanished, the two quickly went up into the water, and I was surprised to see that they hadn't gotten wet; perhaps one of them used a shield, so they weren't wet in the water.

"Who are they?" Erra asked, gasping for air.

"The Soul's eaters." Erra's eyes widened as she heard Draco's sparing response.

"You mean..." Draco spoke with a nod.

"They are the strange types of demons that live by devouring the souls of creatures, they devour everything, including their fellow's souls." Napaisip ako sa paliwanag niya. If that's the case, are those the same creatures are the ones I fought before? The person who used a sentinel's body. Iba ang hitsura nila kumpara sa mga nakalaban ko because he is not dark and red-eyed, possibly because it used the sentinel's body.

Draco walked towards the Soul Eater's path, but he stopped when Erra followed him.

"Stay here.," He commanded, but Erra shook her head and looked serious.
"I told you to stay here! It's dangerous for someone like you to face them." Erra's eyes widened, and I was bored because I knew Erra was strong and could help if needed.

"Are you underestimating my abilities? I can take care of myself!" Erra was taken aback when the edge of Draco's lip rose, and she abruptly averted her gaze. Draco looks hot when he smirks.

"Oh! Really?" He playfully asked to Erra.

"Yes," Erra bravely met Draco's gaze, despite the fact that I could tell she was shy.

"So why did I have to help you that night?" When he asked that arrogantly, Erra frowned and was about to speak when they suddenly heard the woman shouted, agad silang tumakbo papunta sa pinanggalingan ng boses at gano'n din ako na nakasunod lang sa kanila.

When we got to the place we saw that the woman was trying to get rid of the Soul's eaters, its attention was drawn to us when Erra abruptly shouted.

"Let her go!" As a result, the woman was able to flee.
A Soul's eater chases after the woman, but Draco steps in front of him and they fight while Erra jumps up and punches them; even if I wanted to help, I couldn't because I'm seen-through, so I just stood there and watched them.

Nag split si Erra nang sabay na sumugod sa kan'ya ang dalawang kalaban, mabilis ang bawat galaw ni Erra at gano'n rin si Draco, maliksi kung gumalaw si Erra habang si Draco naman ay parang hangin na hindi mo makita sa sobrang bilis habang tinitignan ko sila, I marveled at how good they were at fighting. Mabuti na lang ay magkasama ang dalawa sa laban dahil nakikita ko rin naman na nagkakasundo sila.

Draco bowed and Erra punched the opponent in front of Draco, Erra jumped and Draco kicked the one on Erra's side, and when Erra landed on the ground, she slipped her foot, causing another opponent who rushed at her to fall down. Erra and Draco had no weapons, but almost all of their opponents were already rocking and unconscious.

Draco sat down and Erra climbed up behind him, then jumped high, kicking the faces of the five opponents who would have rushed at them.

Draco grabbed a branch of a tree and hit various parts of his opponents' bodies; when another rushed at him, he strangled him with his knee, causing it to take a breath and then vanish because it had also turned to ashes.

Erra was unable to avoid being kicked by her opponent kaya tumalsik siya, mabuti na lang ay agad siyang nasalo ni Draco kaya hindi siya tumama sa mga puno.

"Are you okay?" Pag-aalala ay bumakas sa mukha ni Draco nang humiwalay si Erra.
Erra nodded and looked at the person who had kicked her, then she punched him in the jaw, neck, stomach, and twisted its body until he vanished and turned to ashes.

May isang sasaksak sana ng espada kay Erra nang bigla itong harangin ni Draco kaya ito ang nasaksak. Nagulat si Erra dahil ro'n at agad na tumalas ang kuko niya saka walang pakundangan na tinusok ang tiyan ng kalaban, kaya nawala at naging abo na rin ito. Napatingin naman ako kay Draco nang makita kong naghihilom na ang sugat sa tyan niya.

"Do you have the power to heal your wound?" Even though Erra could see it, she was still able to ask.

"You saw it, didn't you?" Erra rolled her eyes at Draco's disgusting response and stood up straight.

We watched as the number of Soul's eaters unexpectedly increased. I winced as it appeared to be an endless battle.

Erra and Draco exchanged glances, followed by the nods. The two took a fighting position, and I was surprised at the same time that the two's right hand came out very long with a sword; they were also the first to rush, and it was easy for them to defeat the opponents because every touch of the sword on the bodies of the Soul's Eaters made it disappear immediately, it's like I'm watching a vampire movie because it also turns to ashes.

Erra jumped backwards and stabbed nearly half of the newly arrived Soul's eaters all at once.

Draco, on the other hand, killed the opponents quickly because he fired so many daggers and hit them. Draco jumped up and immediately beheaded the Soul's Eaters behind Erra, and Erra smiled gratefully at Draco.

Makalipas ang ilang oras ay natapos din ang laban, natalo nila ang lahat at hingal na hingal na nagkatinginan ang dalawa.
