The Demon's Bride

Chapter 257: Bye Bye-II

Chapter 257: Bye Bye-II

Elise remembered in the past that her aunt had been ambitious but she didn't know that Angelica had been thinking of having an immortal life which sound as absurd as when Carmen was offered to have her dead family came back from death.

"Is that why you stole those coffins and the bodies of the people who had died? I went inside the basement and I saw everything," Elise confronted and Angelica pulled a wider smile.

"So you have seen. Makes you happy to now that all the time you lived in this house there are bodies underneath you, don't you think?" Her aunt asked with a pleased tone but she couldn't share the sentiment. At this point, it was easier to think that her aunt have went mad. "But those bodies are different. For an enteral life, I need more living sacrifices. Those are experiments."

"Experiments for what?" What experiments needed bodies of a dead person?

"For a better future of course! You should have worked with me, I see that the Demon beside you have an excellent amount of power that could help us to endeavor the plan we have. If you wish to do so, I would help you two to work hand-in-hand with us," Angelica took a step forward with her hand outstretched as if she was offering them a choice, "What do you say? Don't you also want even more power, Demon? I see how bloodthirsty you are and how you are similar to me. Aren't you interested in an everlasting life? I heard it from a Demon before that they could also age and die, but you don't want that, do you?"

"If you are about to offer me a work, you should have done better by looking yourself in the mirror. I don't work with dirty corrupted woman, you are also full of germs that I can't bear to watch," Ian answered, his words jabbing the worse spot for Angelica who detested the word 'corrupted' as she was differentiated from angels because of it. "It makes me question what better future you meant earlier. Is it by bringing dead people back to life?"

"Oh? So you have heard of it," Angelica didn't hide her intention, "It is an experiment to see whether a person could come back to life, did someone told you of this? I thought this experiment is exclusive only for us, the dark sorcerers to know."

"Well it's not exclusive anymore it seemed," Ian shrugged his shoulder, his tone cool while he watch Angelica not noticing how a blue color started to form on her neck, but he didn't plan to tell either.

"It's not possible to bring a person back alive, stealing the coffins means you are disrupting other's who are at rest," answered Elise, she don't know if her aunt succeeded as it seemed Carmen had seen it with her own eyes. "Is that what you told Carmen too— that you could bring people if she kills Demons?"

Angelica raised her brows, and her next words put a surprise to Elise, "Who is that?"

"The woman who you sent to White Mansion..." she tried to explain but reading more to her aunt's expression, she paused, "You don't know," whispered Elise at the last three words she said. It dawned to her that while the letters were sent from Saltige, her aunt didn't know who Carmen was, which why she was also surprise to see her. But if it isn't her who was it then?

"Confused are you?" Angelica drawled, looking at Elise with a wider smirk, "I don't know the part about anyone needing any soul of a Demon's because that's not our work to do. But maybe Thomas had a change in plan which I don't care. Once I kill you two here, next would be them who tried to kill me by the arrow!"

Elise exchange glances with Ian, noting that it was indeed not Angelica who Carmen had worked for but the man named Thomas. "Have you ever succeeded in bringing anyone alive?" asked Elise to confirm what Carmen told her.

"Not yet, but I have the best experiments who would soon wake up from death, all with the memories intact and soul attached. That boy is my most treasured experiment."

Elise frowned on her aunt's words, boy? Amongst the bodies she saw there was no boy. She recalled there was however, a casket that was made better than other coffin.

"There was no boy in any of the coffins," said Elise and for a moment the smile on her aunt's face fell.

Angelica narrowed her eyes, an expression of disbelief came on her face, "There is one inside the casket that are made exceptionally fancier than other coffin. It was a boy-"

"There was a casket but there was no one," interrupted Elise. It seemed that as she said the boy disappeared her aunt's expression grew more severe.

"That's impossible! You are lying!" Her aunt yelled but then she fell to panic when remembering there were two other Relics from earlier when she pretended dead. Thinking that perhaps the Relic attained the body, she retreated to the house. But in a blink, Ian came before the woman and he caught her by her neck.

"Where are you going?" Ian asked as if he was a friend who wondered where she was going to. Without a hesitation, Angelica raised her hand, she pushed all her energy to blow everything around the house to him but nothing happened.

Ian didn't move and he watched how Angelica tried to push her hand again and again as if waiting for her ability to unleash but nothing happen even after many of her attempts. Was it because of her fingerless hand? But before it worked!

The woman struggled and Ian saw how quick she was to realize the big disadvantage she was in, "What the fuck is happening?! What did you do?!"

"Nothing really," Ian grinned, his eyes fell to Angelica's neck that had turned bluer and his hand let go from her neck, "Don't you wonder, why that arrow doesn't kill you?"

"That is because I used my power, because I am a corrupted angel," Angelica was confused that she answered Ian's question. It was Angelica's ever first time to be stripped off her power. She never felt this powerless before and her entire face was soaked with fear to what would happen next that her power is gone now. The Demon is going to kill her!

"It seems that your power add to your brain that you've become stupid to take what I mean. Let me help you to know what happened then," Ian offered, his grin spreading wider. "What about your friends, don't they know you are a corrupted angel? But then why would they resort to kill you with a simple silver arrow while knowing you wouldn't die with it?"

"N-No way! No! They don't have power to steal my ability and I-I never heard of anything like this!! Let me go!" Angelica pleaded, who then decided to negotiate, "I-If you let me go, I promise I wouldn't appear before you two again. I-I will live a quiet life, never be seen by you two. J-Just let me g-go, would you?"

Ian who had hoisted her body pulled his malicious smile wider, "That words of yours would be easy to do if you are never in this world to begin with. I don't really have business with you Angelica. But I have some unfinished business with you for selling my bride to where people could buy her. Then to add, you abused her. I am a very petty person and Elise is mine now. I hate to see her cry now or in the past if not from from pleasure I give her," Ian had lowered his voice so only Angelica could hear. "It's time for you to pay for your sin in the mortal's world, woman."

The woman saw how Ian's eyes turned black while his pupil turned red, from his head two horns begin to emerge that was large and it curled the opposite way of his head. His teeth became jagged and the shadow that covered his face turned nightmarish that tears began to spill from Angelica's face.
