Chapter 20

I gulped nervously as he took a step closer to me. “fkfkfkfkfkfkfkfkfkfkf” I cursed repeatedly. Finally, I steadied myself and summoned my powers.

“Wind, hear me and come!” The familiar wash of wind rustled my hair, flew straight to Lisbon and threw him off his feet. He landed a few metres away from me with a heavy thud. I had this smug look on my face before it faded away when I saw the agitated gaze of Lisbon.

He snarled angrily and with a twist of his left hand, he sent me flying and landing behind Callum. I groaned in pain and Callum, the idiot finally noticed me.” Sephy! Jeez, you are finally here!”

I ignored him and stood up wobbly. I was not going to give up just because of this little set-back. I will not allow my life to end like that. So worthlessly. I stared straight back at Lisbon, confidence building up. I flicked my both hands and commanded confidently,” All elements, hear me and come!”

Meanwhile, Lisbon twisted both his hands in a weird order and muttered some Italian words. As expected, the worst dark power appeared and my elements stopped in mid-air and shattered to nowhere. The power travelled in the speed of light and found me easily. The pain was unbearable like a thousand of scorpions biting into my skin. The dark energy took its merciless journey round my body, sparing nothing along its way. It entered my blood and hit hard against my heart.

I crumpled to the ground and clutched my heart tightly. I cried out in pain repeatedly but no one was there. My mind flashed through times when Lisbon rescued me and was always by my side. The guy I fell in love with was the sensitive and insightful one, not the cruel monster that laughed as he watch me writhe in pain.

Then, I saw Lisbon muttering another set of phrases and his hands doing movements again. This second blow will end my life but I was not allowing that.

Using the last bit of my energy, I cut my left wrist and a thin line of red appeared before blood oozed out. The smell of fresh blood distracted Lisbon and he gawked hungrily at the crimson liquid flowing out from my wound.

“Lisbon, I am betting on the love you have for me for my bloody life. If you love me, go away and never come back. If you do not, drink me dry.” I said, loud enough for him to hear. His eyes flickered for a moment and to my disappointment, he squat down beside me and lifted my left hand to his mouth. He inhaled in deeply the smell of my blood and his eye colour changed continuously. From the usual red to orange, yellow, green and black. Amazingly, at the touch of him, the pain disappeared.

My heart rate increased rapidly as I spoke in between pants , “Lisbon, pls remember me. Pls. Now. You hear me?! LISBON DEAD, I am Persephone Angel! SEPHY!”

Finally, the zombie lifted his gaze to me. He scanned my face for the first time. For once, he is not distracted by my blood. He tilted his head to the right side, as if trying to think of something before shaking his head vigorously.


“I still remember the first time you were selling butcher knives and you accused me of making out with Aaron. You caused a really awkward situation for me. The second time was when you agitated me in school and caused a falling-out between Aaron and Callum. However, you saved me from fainting and brought me to the sick-bay. Not only that, you gave me ointment when you hurt me accidentally. You lent me a shoulder to cry on when I rejected Callum. You even stood up for me when I was bullied. I fell in love with that sensitive and cute devil,” I continued, looking deep into his eyes, searching for that familiar person.
