The Demon's Love✓

Chapter - 3

I run to the washroom of my home. Still trying to figure out how to react. I don't know how to react. It's not because I'm sad or something. It's been a long long time since me or my aunt heard a good news. I don't even remember the last time we actually heard a good news.

I run towards the washroom with all my might, tears still in my eyes. I can hear my aunt running behind me trying to stop me. But I close the washroom's door behind me as soon as I enter it so as to block the way of my aunt to enter.

I don't want her to hear me crying. The letter is still in my hands. It's the letter than I cleared entrance exam. I'm selected in the university.

"Dear don't get yourself exhausted , I'm proud of you" I hear her behind the wooden door which is worn out just like an old cloth.

"I know , I'm just happy" I cannot find any better words to speak right now. The thing is that,I'm not paying attention. I'm overwhelmed.

"Please come out Hun" she speaks slowly. I walk towards the old wooden door and open it. I see her face, trying to figure out whether she's happy or she's shocked.

"I hope the best for you" she says silently leaving me confused.

"Aren't you happy?"

"I'm more worried"

"Why?"

"It's far"

"You come with me too"

"I can't"

"Why are you behaving so abnormal?!" I yell. After all these years, suffering in poor society with poor people in poor house with poor university, I'm about to get admission somewhere respected and she's behaving like I'm going to die.

"You go, take care" she pulls me out from this little thought of mine.

"You aren't coming?"

"I guess no"

"I can't leave you here in hell"

"Stop it Jen! Just because we have little lesser coin than few jerks doesn't mean we are in hell!"

"You call this a place to live?!"

"This is where I was born!" She yells back.

"So I'm not going there then"

"You have to and you know it"

"Ugh!" I grab my hairs in frustration.

"Hun, I love you" she says with a soft voice by seeing me suffering.

"I know, I am not leaving you here"

"You have to , sorry"

"I......."

I can't find any word. I just hug her tightly.

"There's a place know as red fountain don't go there"

"Okay " I say this thousandth time as I put another jeans in side the luggage.

"Don't go to valley of genes it seems like a good place to go but it's not, humans aren't allowed there,only magicians can go okay?"

I stop packing stuff. It's been a while she's telling me too much about the mountains I'm about to go. It's like she had been there before.

"How you know so much? You said you never visited there"

She suddenly stops talking and looks at me with a poker face.

"I heard this from people coming back from there"

"I don't know our any relative talking about coming back from mountains"

"Young lady, you didn't come first, it was me. I was born first stop arguing."

And there goes her trump card. She always says that when she's loosing an argue with me.

"Be safe "

She says
"I'm going to a university not war"
"Yah......"

I just look at her after that.trying to figure out what's wrong with her.
