Chapter 9

Zero's POV

"I think you should get dressed, master." Din said before he stood up and went to the closet.. After while he went out with my clothes. "These are your clothes. When you are finished with your bath wear them. I'll be waiting outside" He said.

When he was about to walk out of the room I stopped him by calling his name. "Din wait!" I said-yelled.

"What is it, master? Any problems?" He asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Emm.. Yes, Just one"

He turn around and crossed his arms in his chest. Now it's my job to imagine his annoyed face. When I did I started laughing like a mad man.

"What's funny?!" He demanded.

I wiped the tear in my eye with my finger and took a deep breath. Which again.. there was nothing.

I sigh and look at his face.

"I don't want you to call me master" I said strait to the point.

"But-" I interrupted.

"Tell you the truth?! You are annoying." I said.

"What?"

"What you are heard. You annoy the shit out of me."

"W-why?" He asked with a hint of hurt in his voice but he covered it up as he asked my again. "Why?"

"Just 'cause" I said before walking to the bathroom's door. When I was about to open it he appeared suddenly in front of me and grabbed me wrists. He pinned me against the door and pushed my hands above my head.

My eyes grew wider. I mean.. he is a freaking spirit! And he can touch me!

"WHY!" He yelled.

" 'cause" I said with a soft voice as I look on the floor.

"THIS IS NOT AN ANSWER!!" He yelled.

"This is my answer" I said calmly.

"What have I done to make you angry?"

"You called me your master" I said simply.

He let go of my hands and took a couple steps back.

"That's it?"

"Yes."

"But why say that I am annoying?"

" 1. 'Cause you are 2. 'Cause you would find an excuse for why should you call me master. That's all" I said.

"So how should I call you?" He asked.

"Zero is fine" I said before opening the door to the bathroom and going inside. I saw Din follow in my foot-steps.

"Where are you going?" I asked as I turn around to face him.

"Wash you of course" he said before he took a couple of threatening steps towards me. I backed away until suddenly he showed up behind me and took my towel off.

"HEY?!" I yelled in embarrassment.

"Get in the shower" He ordered.

"If I protest?" I asked.

"You'll die!" He warned.

I squealed as I jump in fright and get in the shower.

The water was in a regular color this time so I sighed in relief.

"I played a joke on you earlier" He said.

"With?" I asked clueless as Din ordered me to sit down and lain my head on his legs which were in the tub too.

"The water. Don't worry it wasn't blood and also the room.." When he mentioned it I look around and the bloody color was gone. It was pure white. Everything.

Then a question crossed my mind.. I wanted to ask but didn't know how.

I closed my eyes and I felt the shampoo dripping from my hair to my face.

"Just ask" he said.

"H-how can I-" he interrupted me.

"Touch and feel me when I am a spirit?" He finished.

I nod and wait for an answer.

"I can make myself solid.. you know.. like you just a real person and a ghost.. something like this"

"Hoh.. Cool" I said. "It's the first time I hear that a spirit can do this" I said in awe.

"Yeah well.. I see that you have encountered a lot of vengeful spirits in your stay on earth" He stated.

"Yes, I have and it wasn't as pleasant" I said as I remembered the first time I met one. I was little back then, I cried for days and had nightmares. That's how scary they are. But back then my parents were still alive and helped in these kinds of situations. I also learnt how to fight them but they are no more as you already know.

"Well.. Those spirits that you met when you were little.. They escaped Hell and lost their sanity. Here in Hell we are all under control because this our home and we also have a ruler. Who is..."

"Lucifer" I stated with venom in my voice.

"Yes. But when spirits escape the gates of Hell they lose themselves in their own desire and become even scarier then they are told on the books. They are the reason why you could supernatural creatures in such an early age" He said.

"Because I met one of those spirits?" I asked.

"Yes.. Usually when you see something or sense something that regular humans can't or even when you encounter something like this.. Spirits, ghosts even sometimes vampires though they don't affect much about your surroundings, you just become more aware of them and you know that they exist. As long as you know that they are there you will always see things such as these. Supernatural beings. And Zero-"

"Yes?"

"You would be able to see us sooner or later because you are the Devil's son after all" He stated.

"I am not his son." I said with pure hatred.

"You are and I can prove it"

"How?" I asked as he cleaned me up. He gave me a towel and I wrapped it around my waist. We go out of the bathroom and I get dressed in simple yet comfortable clothes.

"Sit down" Din ordered.

I sat down on the bed and take a deep breath.

"Ok. Now lie down, close your eyes and relax your body." He said.

I did what he said and closed my eyes.

A couple of minutes later I felt something bite me hard on my neck and I scream as my eyes open in shock and hurt.

Blood was all over the bed and immediately after that my eyes closed and I fell in to darkness and deep sleep.
