#Season_2
Episode 30
Miquel’s Pov:
As I left his bleeding unconscious b©dy on the floor and headed for the gate, I c@m£ in contact with all the people I’d killed – all the people lying dead on the floor.
I’d st©pped bleeding, but my hands still shook as I stared at the disaster I’d created. The lives I’d taken within seconds. What have I done?
I walked out the gate and got into my car, but I was damn so weak to ignite the engines.
I tried to get hold of the keys, but my hands continued shaking and I couldn’t make it work.
Then, I busted into tears and rested my head on the sterling.
What have I done?
I’m a monster, huh? Always causing disaster everywhere I go.
I couldn’t believe it.
Because of me, the first woman I’d ever loved, died. She died because I failed to protect her.
Because of me, Cali got m©l£st£dand traumatized.
Because of me, my own parents died.
Because of this, hundreds of people died few minutes ago.
Because of me, everyfu-cking thing happened!
What else am I, huh? Isn’t it obvious enough?
I was a monster;
The King of darkness.
I put people’s lives at risk everywhere I go. Why should this happen to me, huh?
Why??
The memories were so painful.
Nob©dy deserves me; nob©dy at all. Not even Cali.
I’m too evil for someone like her – too dark for such a pure soul.
Perhaps, its time I st©pped running away from who I really am.
I took in de-ep heavy breaths, trying to get a grip of myself.
Then, I turned on the ignition and started the car.
*
*
*
They all stood at the entrance and looked like they’ve been awaiting my entrance ever since I left.
The coordinates
“Son” the eldest among them called, a light smile creeping into her face.
“You’re back”.
I was so weak and kept my eyes glued to the floor as I walked closer to them and fell on my knees.
“I’m re-ady” I said dejectedly, my breath wavering.
“Take me home”.

Cali’s Pov:
I woke up hours later and found myself on the floor.
At first, my head was muzzy,,but as soon as I saw the bloodstain on my hand, I remembered Miquel and sprang on my feet.
“Miquel!” I called unconsciously and looked around.
He wasn’t in the room.
I got set and ran out of the room.
My heart p@n-ted heavily as I rushed down the stairs.
Miquel…he shouldn’t face Mykel in that state.
Where could he actually be? Was he able to get into the institute? What if he gets hurt?
I got out of the ap@rtment and looked around, wishing I’d sp©t his car or something.
But unfortunately, it wasn’t there and only meant one thing – he’d left.
Oh my God!
“Miquel” I placed my hand on my che-st and wept.
Why did he have to leave, huh? What if he does something drastic in that state? Or what if he ends up getting hurt?
I found a place to sit, forgetting the fact I had just a towel around my che-st.
Why was everything going wrong?

24 HOURS LATER
*
*
I paced restlessly around the room, my both hands at akimbo.
Diane was sitting on the be-d, also as worried as I was.
“Come on, Cali. Just take a seat and keep calm first” she said after a long while of silence.
“Seriously Diane; how do you expect me to keep calm un-der this condition, huh? Miquel hasn’t returned since yesterday and you really want me to keep calm?” I turned to her and asked.
My entire being was disturbe-d.
“This is so unlike him. Something is definitely wrong, Diane. Something is definitely wrong” I added and resumed pacing.
Oh God! I felt like crying.
“But….what could’ve happened to him? Is it possible Mykel defeated him or worse?” She asked and I di-pped my f!ngersinto my hair in frustration.
“I don’t know, Diane. I don’t know. But he isn’t back yet. I nee-d to see him”.
I finally plonked myself on the be-d and covered my face with my palms.
“Hey, Cali. Come on. I’m….I’m sure we’ll definitely get something” Diane consoled as she wra-pped her hand around my shoulders.
I sniffled in my palms for a while and stood up.
“Mykel” I mumbled the name.
“He should know something about this. The animal should know what happened because I’m pretty sure Miquel had gone for him yesterday.
“I nee-d to go to him, Diane. I nee-d to go to the institute. He’s the only one that can explain what happened to Miquel”.
“Wait…..whaaaat???” She exclaimed and stood on her feet.
“You’re going to the devil himself?”
“I’m afraid that’s the only option I have. I simply can’t spend a single day without Miquel. I nee-d to see him”.
And with that, I ran out of the room.

Episode 31
Cali’s Pov:
“No! No! Let me go! Let me go, plea-se!!” I cried as the men dragged me into the cell.
Oh God!
They ignored my cries and pushed me in, ma-king sure they locked it properly afterwards.
I stood up and held onto the bars of the cell.
“plea-se, you don’t un-derstand. I really nee-d to find Miquel. I….I you nee-d to let me go! plea-se!” I pleaded.
“No matter what, miss Cali, you’re not expected to leave the institute for anything. Its clearly against the rules. If there’s something wrong with Miquel, we’ll do our best to find him” one of them said and left with the other.
Damn it!!
I cursed and kicked the bars.
I knew the cell was power – resistant and there was no way I’d be able to break free with my powers.
I ruffled my hair and sat on the floor in tears.
Oh, Cali! I should’ve been more careful. How did I end up getting caught just when I was about leaving?
Oh God! Damn it….
What do I do?
I placed my head on my legs and wept.
Miquel…
I really wanted to see him. I felt so incomplete.
Where could he be, huh? What could’ve happened between him and Mykel?
Oh God! I shouldn’t have told him about the r@p£ incidence. No matter what, i should’ve kept it away from him and maybe none of this would’ve happened.
What have I done?

Three Days Later
*
*
My head was leaned against the wall as I sat tiredly on the floor.
Shortly, I heard footsteps and opened my eyes to see it was two guards, one holding a tray of food.
“Time to eat” the one with the food said as he awaited the other to unlock the cell.
Two guards were permanently positioned outside the gate and they stepped aside for the others to walk in.
The one with the tray walked in, while his p@rtner stood behind with a gun, probably to make sure I dont do anything stupid.
I remained sitting on the floor and watched them
As they dropped the food and left. But the two other guards still remained on their position, outside the cell.
I stared blankly at the food for a long time and finally decided to eat since i hadn’t eaten anything the whole of yesterday.
I’ve been locked up for here for three days and felt so incomplete without Miquel.
I uncovered the plates and began eating – slowly.
Not long after, someone else walked in.
Huh? One of the directors. She was actually the lady that had attended to me the first day I arrived here at the institute.
She wore a short ti-ght Sk-irt, tucked in with a long sleeve. And her heels made annoying sounds as she walked in.
“Bring her out of cell” she ordered the guards who were a little surprised at first.
“The manager wants to see her, okay? So, quit staring at me like hoodlums”, she snapped at them.
Gosh! So rude.
“Okay ma’am” they replied and made to open the cell.
Oh my! Am I being re-leased?
But she said….the manager wants to see me? Huh?
The guards c@m£ up and opened the cell and took me out afterwards.
I took a close look at the lady and bec@m£ confused when I heard her thoughts.
*Hi barbie*
My eyes beamed immediately as I recalled the fact that only one person calls me by that name.
Diane!!!!
I g@sped but tried as much as possible not to show my excitement.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take it from here” she said to the guards and gr!pp£dmy arm.
“Come on” she said huskily and started taking me away, holding me so r0ûghly – probably to make it look real.
I didn’t say a word as I walked silently with her, out of the cell territory and out to where a car was parked.
“Get in” she said huskily as she opened the front door.
It was so dark alre-ady and the area was quiet.
“Diane!” I called in a whisper tho, and she smiled at me.
“Hello barbie” she replied and I chuckled.
“You…what’re you doing?” I asked, bemused.
“What else? Saving your as-s of course. Come on, get in before we get caught. Get into the boot” she replied and opened the boot for me.
Oh my God! Thank goodness.
I got into the boot and la-id in the darkness as she closed it up. And in a short while, the car began moving.
I took in de-ep breaths, feeling so excited.
She was taking me out of the institute, right? So, I could look for Miquel.
Oh my God!
I felt so happy as the car moved but suddenly c@m£ to a st©p.
Oh! Maybe we were at the gate.
“You’re going out ma’am?” I heard a masculine voice ask and figured it was one of the securities.
“Yeah, its important” I heard Diane reply.
They said some other words which I couldn’t quite un-derstand, but after a short while, the car started moving.
Ah! I could feel it. We were driving out of the gate.
I placed my hand on my che-st and prayed this works out. I really nee-ded to see my Miquel. My prince charming.
The car drove for a very long time and finally c@m£ to a st©p just when I was becoming impatient.
The boot was opened right afterwards and I jumped out immediately.
“Diane” I called and looked at her.
She’d changed back to her real self.
I looked around and recognized the area. The black Diãmônd institute.
“Sorry it took me so long to come save you. I had go throu-gh a lot getting in contact with one of the directors. You wanted to come here, right?” She asked and I nodded.
“Are you sure about this? It might be dangerous, Cali”.
“It doesn’t matter. I just nee-d to find Miquel” I replied fervently.
As long as it was the only option I had, I had to take it.
“Okay then. I’ll just wait here in the car as back up. If I don’t see you in the next thirty minutes, I’ll come in as well. Okay?” She said and I nodded as it sounded like a good plan to me.
“Thanks” I mumbled and started on my way.
I walked for a long time before sp©tting the big black gate.
I didn’t even know how to get in.
Oh God! This was so risky.
Do I really wanna see Mykel?
But Miquel…he was more important. I nee-ded to be sure he’s safe.
I finally got to the gate and just stood in front of it, wondering how I’d get in. Do I nee-d to scream it down?
No; it’d look like I was entering for war.
But…they should be c@m£ras here, right? Just like the ones at the white Diamond institute?
Or….maybe I should knock?
I was about placing my hand on it when I heard the gate gro-an ing open.
Ah!
I watched keenly and stood my grounds and finally, the faces of the securities showed, pointing their guns at me
“Hey! Hands in the air!!” They yelled and I lifted my hands in surrender.
Oh my! This was a really big risk.
They ran to me and held me r0ûghly,,pinning my hands behind me while guns were still pointed at my head.
“I’m not here for trouble. I just wanna see Mykel” I said tiredly and they dragged me in.
*
*
They kept me in a dark room where I was made to kneel with guns still pointed at me.
I stayed that way for a long time before the lights went on as soon as the door opened.
I looked and saw three boys walk in,, one of them Mykel.
My heart skipped immediately as I felt a scar reopen. My head ached.
But he looked so…injured. His face was covered with bruises, and his left hand was bandaged.
What the heck happened to him?
Suddenly, my mind drifted to Miquel.
“She’s demanding to see you” one of the men who’d been in the room with me said to him.
His eyes were so cold as he stared at me and st©pped in front of the table.
“Leave us” he ordered and the men left after a little reluctance – every one of them.
And we bec@m£ the only ones left in the room.
Immediately, I stood up and lifted the table to hit his knee and that way, he landed straight on the floor.
He definitely wasn’t expecting it.
I ran to him on the floor and held his n£¢k.
I had no idea where the guts c@m£ from, but I did it.
“Where’s Miquel? What did you do to him?” I asked angrily,,applying pressure on his bandaged arm.
He gr-unted a little and held my hair and before I knew it, I found myself crashing to the floor.
He pushed me like a chicken and I ended up sustaining a scratch.
Damn it!
Before I’d regain myself and stand on my feet, he was alre-ady on his.
“Seriously?” He scoffed.
“Did you really come here to fight me?”
I p@n-ted heavily and maintained a good distance.
“Where’s Miquel? He’s the only reason I’m here” I said with so much hate resounding in my voice.
He scoffed and brou-ght out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit it and stuck it into his mouth.
“You’ve really got some nerves, huh?” He asked and puffed out smoke.
“I must say you’re really br@ve coming here alone.
“Anyway, why do you think Miquel would be here?”
“Because you’re the last monster he c@m£ to see. He’d left me with so much anger with the intentions of killing you four days ago. Kindly hi omeano on+233544142683 to be added to story headquarters room for more exciting stories. But since then, I haven’t set my eyes on him. And I’m asking you nicely, where is he?” I enthused, trying so ha-rd to control my temper.
He chuckled and puffed more smoke into the air.
“Well….” He sighed.
“I guess he’s gone home alre-ady”.
I arched my brows in confusion. .what’s he talking about?
“What home?” I muttered.
“His home, Cali. To ascend the throne. Have you no idea? He’s the King of darkness”.
I felt cold chills run throu-gh my spine as soon as he made that statement: *King of Darkness*
Oh God! What’s he talking about?
No; it can’t be.
“You’re lying to me” I mumbled.
“Really? Why would I lie, Cali? The coordinates from Korea has been after him for weeks and obviously, they’d gotten to him alre-ady.
“On the day of the mission, I saw him. He was captured by them and that only meant they’d taken control of him. So, its 99% possible he’s back in the Kingdom alre-ady and has probably ascended the throne”.
I felt a sharp pain in my che-st as his words pierced into my ears.
No; Miquel? In Korea?
The King of darkness?
Why would he just leave me behind? Leave without saying a word?
Why?
I placed my hand on my che-st as the shock was just too much on me.
“I could take you to him” I suddenly heard the monster say and lifted my eyes to look at him.
“If you’re in, first thing in the morning, we’ll take the institute’s pri-vate jet and leave. You can get to meet him”.
My eyes dr!pp£din curiosity.
Is he being serous?
“And why would you do that?” I asked, my voice still coming out hoarse.
No matter what, i couldn’t get the anger off my mind.
“Well……Let’s just say I feel like it. Unless…you feel like letting it go and don’t wanna see him”. He shrugged and smoked from his stick and I scoffed.
Anxiety crowded me.
“And why should I trust you?” I asked disquietedly and in one enigmatic smile, he replied:
“Because I always keep to my promise”.
TBC.
