Suki:
Waking up once again, I felt my body was so fucking heavy. It was as if I had been given a second chance.
I remembered the last time I was awake, I made some mistakes, especially when I let jealousy take over and ended up making them.
This time, it was going to be different. I would not repeat my mistakes. I would just focus on getting out of this. And it seemed like Joshua already had a plan.
"Go ahead, make a wish," the Shadow Earth Eater told me.
"Should I ask to go home safe?" I turned to look at Joshua and asked him.
"Go ahead, it is your wish," He whispered to me, and the Shadow Earth Eater smiled. It seemed like she truly adored Joshua. Of course she did, because he was a fool. People love idiots. But I was not a fool.
I was not going to make the same mistakes I had made before or the ones others had made.
More specifically, Oriana. Why did she let Joshua go first? I would never understand that.
"Well, my wish is," I mumbled, stepping closer to Joshua after he pulled away from me. I held his hand, wrapped my arm around his, and rested my head on his shoulder while staring at the Shadow Earth Eater, who looked at me impatiently. "My wish is for you to cut off your head and leave it at my feet."
The moment I finished, I watched the Shadow Earth Eater’s eyes turn red. Even Joshua turned toward me.
"What are you saying?" he demanded.
"Oh, come on," I replied. "Didn’t you say you were sent here for the task of killing her? Do you not know how it goes?"
The Shadow Earth Eater began to growl in anger.
"Come on, fulfill my wish," I mocked her. "You don’t back away from your wishes, do you?"
I noticed the way she rushed toward me, but she stopped. Joshua was ready to defend me. I noticed it. I saw it.
But it seemed like my wish was coming true because, without the Shadow Earth Eater’s acknowledgment, she began to throw her body around, trying to tear her head from it.
Joshua looked at me, then back at the Shadow Earth Eater as she let out cries of pain.
"I should have never trusted people who betray their own friends," she screamed.
I watched the Shadow Earth Eater die by cutting off her own head and throwing it away. It was fun to watch the way she crumbled, the way she took her last breaths, the pain in her eyes.
I laughed a few times. Joshua remained quiet, watching her die, and once it was done, I grabbed her head and carried it.
"There was no other way for us to leave. Besides, what if somebody else had gotten their hands on her and she had told them about my secret?"
I looked at Joshua to explain why it was important that we kill her. He looked at me deeply, then smiled and nodded his head.
"But you know, you’ll be the only one leaving the academy," he remarked.
As soon as he said that, I frowned at him.
"Why? You can come with me," I told him.
