Chương 20: Chased by demons
She sat up quickly, remembering that she had just yelled like a crazéd person. "But how come no one came rushing in? Didn't they hear it"? She thought out loud.
"No they didn't"... A cool voice answered.
"Ahhh...."!!! Amira screamed in fright. She looked at the shadow by the window cautiously.
"I'm a Christian. You can't do anything to me". She said in a shaky voice.
"I would have doubted that before but things seem a little different now". The man spoke again.
Seeing that he had no intentions of harming her, Amira calmed down. "Who are you"? She asked airily.
She watched as the man stepped out of the shadow and his physique became prominent. She pointed at him in shock.
"I know you..."
This was the man she had bumped into some time ago and made his cross pendant necklace fall. She remembered his face because he had the air of a saint back then and looked funny in his long gown.
"If I was able to locate you, then there are thousand more people out there that could do the same. You are not safe so you have to leave with me now". The man said urgently.
"Why would people be looking for me? How did you even get in here"? Amira asked with doubt. There was no place more guarded like the Palace. It wasn't easy to get in or out.
"The only thing the heavens did wrong was to give you senses where you are not supposed to have". The man snapped, then walked to her and pulled her up.
"Hey! I'll scream if you touch me"?! Amira warned.
"Great! Just great! They are here already. Thanks to you"! The man ran his hand through his head in frustration.
"Who do you mean.... Ahhhhhh"!!! Amira screamed at the end of her sentence.
The people before her looked hideous with their black skin and green liquid that hung on the side of their lips.
"I am a saint. The bearer of the mark of God. There is no relationship with light and darkness so depart from me"! The man chanted and the hideous looking men slowly disappeared.
"Who are they"..? Amira asked in between pants. It would take some time before those images get out of her head.
"Where are already lucky that the ones who came are low class gorgs that are not so powerful. If you still have the time to argue with me then I'll leave you here". The man spoke in anger.
Who knew that the quiet little girl was this stubborn?
"Haha... Who said I will argue with you. But just to be clear... Will they come for my family"? Amira asked. Of course she won't forget her family.
"When the devil came here. Did he come for your family"? The man retorted.
Amira clicked her teeth. "Oh... So I'm now like a community commodity that everyone would search for".
"Just shut up"...! The man snapped and dragged her to the window. With a crystal ball in his hand, they slowly disappeared.
"I hope we are still on earth". Amira said cautiously when the got to their destination.
"If you could freely dine with the Devíl then here should be paradise". The man said with a scoff.
"Can I be mistaken or do you häte me Mir Saint"? Amira asked in confusion.
The man ignored her and walked away.
"Hey! Hey! At least tell me where we are"!! Amira yelled after the retreating figure.
"You should be grateful that he was willing to bring you here and even talk to you. He has never spoken a word to anyone, you being an exception". A whinny voice sounded behind her.
"Did someone perhaps steal something precious to him"? Amira asked in a whimper.
"Hahaha... You're funny. By the way I'm Mary Magdalene". The lady introduced herself.
"If you have the time to play then you should go out and perform your mission"! A cold voice resounded in the air.

After making sure that James was no longer there, Mary came back and sat beside Amira. They talked for sometime and Amira became confused.
"So you mean that we are like at the bridge between heaven and earth"? Amira gasped in surprise.
Mary nodded in affirmation.
Amira shook her head in disbelief. First hell, then heaven now the bridge?
"Oh and the man who brought you is called James. He is the leader of our faction, known for his quietness". Mary said enthusiastically.
"Hmm.. He sounds like someone that would have that type of name". Amira said with a scoff.
Mary shook her head. Only Amira could dare talk to that man like that...
"Tell me about the gorgs". Amira asked with interest. At least she needed to know who she was up against.
Mary clicked her tongue.
"Gorgs.. they are demonic warriors whose are obsessed with power. They don't even fear the Devil. But they know that can't win against him...well at least not yet".
"Defeat the Devil? Is that even possible"? Amira asked why skepticism. No matter how she thought of it, she couldn't picture anyone defeating the Devil.
"I don't know much detail but I know that the demon slayer have awaken. That's why even James is busy". Mary replied.
'Demon slayer? Don't tell me it's what I'm thinking '?! Amira screamed in her heart.
"What do you think you are doing by bringing her here James"? A man wearing black robe asked.
James stood quietly and watched Amira joking with Mary.
"If anything is to ever happen to her Amos, both the earth, heaven and hell will fall into chaos. Her life is more precious than ours put together".
The man gave him a weird glance. "Why are you being so mysterious all of a sudden"?
"There is someone more powerful than the Devil himself. He requires something from her and until he gets it, nothing is allowed to happen to her". James said calmly then walked inside.
Amos stood stunned. "More powerful than the Devil? If it isn't Zeus then it's who"?
"Do you enter heaven this freely as well"? James asked on seeing the person before him.
"You overestimate me. I don't have such capabilities ". The man replied calmly.
"So may I ask why you are here"? James asked.
"Don't worry Jimmy. I ain't disrupting anything. Just wanted to know how things are". A man in dark cloth spoke.
"What is your purpose of being here". James cut the chase.
"Teach her all there is to know about her powers". The man said calmly.
"What if I refuse? It's not like I'm being paid for it". James said dryly with his hand casually placed in his pocket.
The man chuckled coldly. "You know better than anyone what to do James. I may be limited to some certain things here but destroying earth is as easy as snapping my fingers". The man said before disappearing.
James clenched his fist briefly.
"What is your true aim Mikano..."?
