"Should've just came up to the rooftop in the first place. Could've skipped the dramas back there. Sigh.." LIllia mumbled as she looked at the crimson sunset. It's nearly 6pm and the carnival had just ended. Lillia planned on waiting on the rooftop till everyone goes. The crimson sunset reminded herself of the first time she carried out her task.

 "How long has it been? Since that day..."

' It's only been 2 years.'

"where were you the whole day? sleeping?"

' Pretty much. You haven't been feeding me them so i tried conserving energy'

" Relax. 1 of them is coming soon. A delicious one to boot."

Ever since that day 2 years ago, i started hearing a voice inside my head. i thought i was hallucinating. But the bloodshed the next days only proved myself wrong. i named it for convenience sake - Lias. Lias is the contractor i made the deal with. I thought he'd only be helping me with my 'tasks' but he is one very annoying voice. For example, when I'm trying to sleep and I hear a voice 'Lilliaaaaaa~ Lilliaaaaaa~' Or when watching movies and you hear a voice spilling thousands of theory when all i  want is just to watch a f*cking movie. Of course, others can't hear them. Only i can, sadly.

"LILLIA!!!! THERE YOU ARE!!!!"

Who the hec- I swear to god my tolerance level is exploding one more sound and imma gonna punch the shit out of this person.

~

"Its me!!!! Le-"

A clenched fist, hard as rock, swift as the wind, flew across poor Leo's face. However, Leo's instinct saved his ass this time. He leapt a step back and staggered then fell to the floor. Lillia looked like a titan from his view.

"Ch-ch-chill. It's just m-me. L-Leo."

" Are you stalking me?"

" Whaaatt... Pffftt O-of course not. W-why would i stalk you hahhah"

Lillia's glare got colder and murderous. She took a step closer and Leo was frightened. Things were getting dead serious. Leo froze. For some reason he felt that if he were to move a single inch of his body, he would be severed into 2.

What's with this aura.. the atmosphere and tension is too stiff. It's as if i'm facing a demon. Were her eyes always red? A bloody crimson red that resemble blood. Her glare as if taking a human's life is no feat. Her eyes screams of pain and suffering... It's so murderous yet..sad.

~

Has he found out? Did he realize? Is that why he had been following me? If that's the case, then i'll have no choice but to end it. It will be quite troublesome if things get out of hand. Killing un-corrupted souls isn't my thing and getting found out isn't bad for me but Lias would be in trouble. Lias also doesn't have enough energy to create a memory-wipe barrier so it would be best to end things here.

'Lillia. Wait. It's just a hunch but i doubt he figured it out. If my guts served me right, he only followed you so that you'd join the Rock band.'

You mean my gut. 

'Well yeah.'

" State your intentions." 

"You merely piqued my interest. Anyone who played like that it's just impossible that it's just for fun. I can tell by your playing that you Love music. i planned to wait till Wednesday to see if you're coming but the more i thought about the more i felt like I need to talk to you myself."

'Well someone has hots for you. wink wink.'

Shut it. He's a human.Sigh..

'Revert your eyes first. It'd be bad if he sees anymore than he should.'

Shit. I forgot..

" I'm not interested."

" Just 1 day. Come for the trials and after that if you're still uninterested then i won't stop you anymore. We need you. I need you"

'HoHoHo. Wink Wink. Lillia~  I need you~ '

 You're a natural at being annoying you know that.

'Thank you. I'm honored.'

The school bell that finally rang broke the high tension silence between us.

" Shit, i gotta run for work. I'll see you on Wednesday! Bye Bye~" and there he went.

'Bye bye~ you guys would make a great couple!! and possibly give birth to a new evolved generation~ A human and a Re-'

"Lias. I will not repeat myself. Neither will i let history repeat. I swore on that day and you know what happens when we break our swears."

'But what happens if he does find out? Seems like he already suspect something.'

"

 Then i shall make another swear here today. That day, i swore that no one else will die because of me. And so i shut myself out just so nobody will get close to me...

...

My name is Lillia Kavien.

Under the contract of Lias, Soul of Noire, I hereby invoke a swear.

If one knows, sees, hear my secret and is put in danger, as a Reaper, I shall and must not hesitate to risk my soul for their safety. Unless thy is corrupted.

The wind started picking up around Lillia. Her hair flew with the flow with the wind and slowly but surely, faded into the color of White Silver. Her eyes shined Scarlet. Crimson Scarlet. Her nails became longer and sharper, like claws. Her ears became pointy. A sphere of light surrounded her as she recited her name and made a vow

-Nigrum Opposuimus-

Everything calmed and stopped. She reverted back to her human form. Black hair, thin fingers, short nails, rounded ears, blue eyes.

~

Argh..that was tiring..

'Lillia-'

" I know. Leo was there. He saw. If he knows what's best for him, he'd better steer clear of me and out of my life."

'No, not that. A corruption evolved. in the East Wing, near the basketball court.'

" Talk about good timings. I'm pretty hungry myself."

'There's no time to waste. Hurry. I'll start casting memory-wipe barrier.'

" you sure? you barely have enough energy."

'Who says I'll use mine when i can use yours?'

" Son of a bitch."
