Dev is still waiting for the guys to take off the masks. Patiently, she listened to the chatter that might give her a clue. Someone came to sit on the great chair. It seems to be the leader of the group. That someone said, “Are you guys doing a good job?” From the voice, Dev knew it was a girl.
“Sure. Everything went the way you wanted it to. Jess is dead after all the suffering she deserved.” A man answered. Dev feels familiar with the sound.
“Good. All thanks to Goddess Lilith. Haimm to her.” The woman called out.
“Beautiful woman, Lilith! You are the night wind. When your long hair flows silently, your gaze pierces the hearts of men. In the darkness your shadow grows. Dark Moon Lilith, a tormenting serpent. I admire you fearlessly. Goddess, you are important and you are the one I respect. Mother Lilith who survived the remnants of time, the spirit of all the wild. Your embodiment of Divine death. I came as your child. Protect me from all darkness that hurts me and lead me to harmless darkness. Teach me not to be afraid to like You. I thank you for what you teach. As below, as above. Goddess of the night, you are the one I love. Let me live by your strength. Goddess Lilith, protect me and guide me. As I wish and so mean. ” They said the compliment together.
“Hail Mother Lilith!”
“What about Mehmet?” One of them squeaked. The leader got off the chair, walked lightly and poured wine.
“He’s sealed by such great power that it’s hard to kill him with magic. He’s always chanting sealing spells from his God. He can only be hurt directly. The problem is, he’s casting spells that make it impossible for us to see him. It’s likely that he’s also being protected by other supernatural beings. Do you remember the dragon that took him away when you managed to injure him, but failed to kidnap him? By the way, why hasn’t Zurach returned yet? Did he manage to scare Elios?” The woman put down her glass which was already full of wine.
“I don’t know! Why don’t we just kill him?” another man asked.
“No! He’ll be both bait and a new member. You know, he’s still pure. It’s really hard to find a young man who hasn’t touched a woman. Goddess Lilith will be very happy. When we offer Elios, Goddess Lilith will come as a succubus and have sex with him. From his sperm, will be born the offspring of a powerful demon and in return, our strength and attractiveness will increase.”
“You’re really smart, Honey! We’ll do it to Elios like we did to that skinned white doctor. Everyone related to Erhan’s family should be treated the same way.” The man whose voice is familiar to Dev’s ears said. For Dev, everything she hears is an astonishing shock. She didn’t expect Asmodeus’ curse to actually happen.
“You mention Erhan’s descendant, don’t you realize that you are also Erhan’s descendant?” The other man snorted again. This made Dev even more curious.
“Who else besides Callin is that disgusting?” Dev murmurs in heart.
“How dare you say that to me!” The man spontaneously threw a punch. A reply was given. The two men end up hitting each other.
“Stop! What are you guys doing? Goddess Lilith will be furious to see this. Come on! Forgive each other!” commanded the leader. They are silent.
“Let’s shake hands or I’ll punish you!” Getting a bluff, they ended up shaking hands without speaking to each other.
“Don’t spoil my mood. Come on, let’s have a toast!” The woman turned on the dark music, then took off the mask with the two men who surrounded her and gave a toast. A long awaited face makes Dev very surprised.
“Impossible!”
“Elfara can’t do that!” Dev’s feelings shattered to pieces knowing her sister whom she knew as an innocent girl turned out to be ….
Filled with disbelief, Dev is eager to approach the demon worshipers to make sure what she saw and what she heard was an illusion. Dev moves back and drops a miniature owl that is displayed on a line of statues of a naked woman who is thought to be their Goddess, Lilith.
The dark music playing is deafening to the ears, so they don’t notice Dev’s presence. Dev refuses to act recklessly and prefers to get out of there and immediately meet Elios before it’s too late.
At Nania’s house ….
Nania steps back timidly as Dev barges in without permission. Nania’s red eyes indicated that the girl was sad.
“What made you cry?” Dev asks seriously.
“It’s not your right to know. You want to complete your wish, right?” Nania held back tears, she sat on the chair and gripped the chair tightly.
“What do you mean?”
“Killing me. Come on, finish! I’m happy to do it.” Hearing Nania who seems to have given up hope makes Dev feel angry and sad at the same time.
Dev rudely drags Nania and corners her against a wooden wall. Their faces met. The close distance makes Dev feel even more uncertain. Now, Dev understands about the wounds piled up in Nania’s black eyes. It was cloudy and foggy on Dev’s face if she felt what Nania felt.
“Do you want to harass me before you kill me?” Silly questions came out of Nania’s mouth. Dev stares closely at Nania’s face.
“Do you think I’m that dirty? I just wanted to ask where is Elios.”
“Who are you, asking about Elios?”
“You only need to answer my question, Nania!” said Dev.
“You even know my name while I don’t know you. Are you part of that group of masked humans?” asked Nania probing.
“Don’t test my patience, Nania! You have no right to ask me that. You just need to answer my question.”
“What do you want if I don’t want to say it?”
“Nania!” Dev yells until the girl is shocked. Dev can only roll the chair to vent her emotions.
“I won’t tell Elios’ whereabouts even if you kill me. I’d rather die than put the people I love in danger ….” Nania snapped back Dev.
“Stop your nonsense, Nania! Do you really love him?” Dev says in still high tone.
“Hey, that’s none of your business, Dude!”
“Why are you so stubborn? You know Elios is in danger!”
“What do you mean?”
“Those masked men are after Elios to serve as their idol as well as their member and bait to find Mehmet’s uncle.”
“What? No! That’s impossible! You must be making up stories. Maybe it was just a trick of yours to trick us. You’re a member of them too, right? We’ve said many times that we don’t know where Uncle Mehmet is. We haven’t been in communication since he’s out of a mental hospital.” Feeling very frustrated, Dev hugs Nania and looks her in the eyes.
“Look at me! You can ignore me if you find lies in my eyes.” Dev touched Nania’s jaw gently, letting her trace every inch of her face.
Silence for a while, Nania removed Dev’s hand from her face, then said, “Elios just left here. Maybe, by now he has arrived at his house. You can go there.” After hearing that, Dev steps out.
“Wait!” Dev turns her head when suddenly Nania stops her.
“Are you related to Devada?” Dev is slightly taken aback. However, she already knew that this would happen given that there was nothing different between Devada and Dev.
“Yes. We are twins, but we don’t live together,” she said casually, then continued walking and left Nania.
“I can’t believe Elfara is the one behind all these crimes. There’s no way she could hurt her own family and hurt innocent people.” Dev’s feelings raged along the way to Elios’ house until when she got there, she realized that Elios’ house looked empty.
“Shit! Where’s the kid?” Dev smells suspicious traces after seeing the knife and pieces of white cloth as well as the broken door.
“Damn it!”
After uttering swear word, Dev immediately returns to the silver masked villain’s base. There, she finds Elios bound in an unconscious state. Two men took Elios to a large tree behind the headquarters.
The tree has a secret door that is completely invisible. Dev enters immediately after noticing the way they opened the door. Inside, the first thing Dev steps on is the stairs that lead to the basement. The two masked men put Elios into a room that was as beautiful and exotic as a bridal chamber. After the criminals leave, Dev rushes in and tries to resuscitate the bedridden Elios.
“Elios!” Elios’ eyelids slowly opened. The young man immediately pulls Dev so that Dev falls on top of him. Dev immediately gets up, but Elios maintains their position.
“Devada … Where have you been? I missed you so much.” After saying that, Elios immediately kissed Dev.
The flaming sensual dark music not only made Elios feel such a warm and sweet passion, but also made him hallucinate. Dev feels the same way. Especially, when Elios gives a soft touch. In the end, they were unable to stop their smoldering youth and Dev was the first to succeed in taking Elios’ virginity.
After committing the forbidden act, Dev who began to gain consciousness immediately regretted her mistake while Elios was still lost in his illusions.
“This isn’t right! Elios wake up, we have to get out of here.”
“No need to rush, Devada. We can do it until morning, right?” said Elios like a drunk. Dev responded with a pretty hard slap, but Elios didn’t respond. The boy was too drunk.
“Eli–”
Crack!
The sound of wood breaking could be heard from outside the door. Dev is moved to check and leaves Elios. When she came out of the room, she didn’t see anyone or anything suspicious. However, the voices were still heard. Dev focuses her eyes on the most corner of the room. The sound is thought to have come from there. Carefully, Dev inspects the room, but all she sees is a sprinkling of dried roses, hibiscus flowers, and chrysanthemums.
Dev flinched and was about to leave the smelly room, but a sudden shadow stopped her. A shocked Dev feels her irregular heartbeat. The sound of wind flashes in the ears, Dev rolls her eyes, then sees a pair of female legs emerge from behind the statue of a naked woman.
“Who are you?”
