[Alissa's Pov]
.
.
It has been 4 years that I have been working with Michael regarding everything that has been going on here. Though things started going up and down after this whole regression thingy. Like really went out of control to be honest...
The girl whom I thought to be 'not much of a problem' became one of my strongest rivals that I could have imagined. And according to what she told me, it wasn't just her but a few more girls that flocked around MY Michael!! How fucking dare they do that!!!
'Tch!' Even thinking about it makes my blood boil. After all that hard work to get so close to him and making sure that he doesn't fall in love with anyone else… just how did this come to be…?
Dejected, I let my body fall on the table that I was working.
'Take care of Walter's sister,' he said as he left. It was his last command before he left to meet Caroline's family. Apparently, there is something going there that is going to help Michael become powerful on an individual level.
'I just hope he doesn't come back with a wife and two kids,' I sighed in irritation as I couldn't concentrate on the work anymore. Closing my eyes for a couple of seconds, I then decided to check up on Walter's sister.
Standing up from the area, I first got out of the research lab before moving to the place where she was admitted to. I still don't know why Michael wanted to protect her so much… is she really that special?
-Click!
The door unlocked as I entered the room… only to find a familiar figure in front of me. The same brown hair and black eyes that he had when he came to first drop his sister. I could see the same desperation on his face as before… something happened.
"Huh? Walter? You are back?" I asked as I moved closer to him, but he raised his hand as his eyes turned red before he spoke,
"Miss Alissa. Please forgive me… I don't have a choice in this… I beg you… please forgive me…"
His eyes begging, his words shaking as he looked at me with a desperate look. There were tears in his eyes, and I could hear his heart beat loud and clear.
"What-"
"Envera" He spoke before I could ask as a red beam fired out of his finger that he pointed at me… I barely dodged as it grazed my cheeks.
I looked at the maddening look on his face as I observed his sister's condition… he wasn't concentrating on her… He was after me… Run!
I then took a step back carefully as I observed his movements. Taking a few more steps back as I slowly stepped out of the room but something… something caught my feet… it was a black chain… it came out of the ground.
"I apologize!" he said shakily. I found my body being lifted from the ground and then…
-Crack!!
Through the window, I was thrown out like a pebble.
'We are on the 17th floor… aren't we?' I thought as I saw the window reaching farther and farther away from me. My eyes observed Walter standing at the window… and there was someone behind him… a child… a child with a creepy smile.
My heart shook to the core. While I was worried about falling a moment ago, after looking at that smile… all that fear got replaced… What the heck are those things? Michael… be careful…
I prayed as I fell down lower and lower…
Until my eyes lost their sight… and my body its life.

[Walter's POV]

It wasn't as if I was scared enough, but the sight of her falling on the ground… as she hit it, her body turning lifeless with the ground painted red, made me so scared as if my heart would jump out.
I was afraid of Belial… but I don't know at this point if I should be afraid of Belial or Michael more… After all, even Caroline spoke before… that the one closest to Michael was Alissa herself.
"Let's go down. The next phase starts now," the child-like voice of Belial creeped up from behind as I saw that smile of his. Keeping myself calm, I could only nod as I asked,"you won't kill my family now, will you?"
He smiled as he nodded before he jumped out of the window with my body being pulled out as well. It didn't even take a second as I reached down on the ground where Alissa's body parts were scattered on the ground all round.
"Blergh!!!" I puked blood as I fell on the ground. It wasn't as if I hadn't seen blood before… but it compared nothing to this… especially the one dead was someone I knew…
"IMLIAPE'SD'AWRFN'QWE ", He spoke as he smiled widely as I saw the body of Alissa slowly vanishing from there without any traces,"I hope you can entertain me. Michael Aroa… the game begins now," he spoke as Alissa's body vanished without any trace left. His eyes were glistening as he smiled like crazy.
'Just what exactly did he do?' My heart beat rose like crazy.
He then turned around at me as he looked at me in slight confusion as he asked,"Do you know anyone named Alissa?"
I observed him for a while in confusion? What was he on about? Does he want me to deny her existence..
"Ummm… no… I do not," I spoke, not wondering what he was trying to do. But he was really surprised as he looked behind,"did the spell fail? Hmmm… it's not that… '' he then turned at me with slight curiosity as he spoke,
"You are special, aren't you?"
I observed his face for a couple of seconds, wondering exactly what he was talking about. What does he mean by special? "Ah! Let me rephrase my words then… Do you carry memories of another reality?" And then… my mind went blank for a second. I looked at him… he didn't figure it out before when he scanned my memories… How did he get to know about this?
I was scared. My body was begging me to run. Something really bad was about to happen to me… I could see it in his smile… I must run away… I must run….
"Oh come on now, Walter. I thought we had a bond between us," he spoke with an evil look and my heart skipped a beat as I raised my hand and shouted,
"Ignito(Burn)-" but before I could finish the spell… my tongue ceased to exist… as if it had never been there.
"That's not a really cool thing to do, Walter. We have so many things to talk about, you have so many things to tell. I thought we really understood each other, you know? Well, don't worry. We will talk with each other once this is all over. We will look into things one by one… till the eternity passes… okay?" he smiled at me with a cute face that looked creepier than anything I had ever seen.
And then… my mind went blank…
Sir Michael… just what kind of monster… catch your attention?
