Chapter 279: Seductive Whisper-II

Elise had stared at it for long, forgetting that it would be bad if the reaper noticed her, but she was stunned. With the arrival of a reaper, it signify a person\'s death, but whose? There was only her and Beelzebub, but the reaper seemed as if it was following their carriage.

She looked at Beelzebub, trying to find any death shadow but there was nothing in the man and it come to her notice that she couldn\'t use her power to herself as she can\'t view her own body, looking at the window, she try to find any smoke around her body but there was none.

"What does the reaper come from?" whispered Elise in question.

"To reap some soul," Beelzebub answered while leaning forward to the window to take a better look of the reaper, "Don\'t worry, it doesn\'t seem to come for you or me."

"I don\'t know that reaper would come to reap a soul of a Demon," Elise said, she noted how the reaper\'s body was floating as it followed their carriage. The road they took was rather empty, therefore making her grew weary.

"All beings that have souls bound to die, that\'s the rule of this world. Angels and Demons are no less. If time come for us the reapers who belong to the netherworld to bring our soul would come for us," Beelzebub rubbed his chin while staring at the reaper, "But those are not the ones send to take a life of a Demon."

Elise, who also look at the reaper with a mixed expression, asked, "There are difference in reaper that takes a Demon\'s life?"

Beel was feeling quite generous today, thus replying to her question, "They go by the scythe. If it\'s a silver scythe that would be for humans, black for Angles, and red for Demons."

"The reaper has a silver one," whispered Elise, then was it coming for a human? Out of the two in the carriage there was him and her, and she was the only human. It was then when it dawned to Elise of something strange the man said, "How do you know it\'s not coming for me?"

Beelzebub looked at her, his eyes turning crescent as he smiled, "Tell me something, lass. Is your mother a human?"

Elise wasn\'t sure if whether her mother was a human. Her aunt and the relics that came for her looked no different than other humans, and they looked similar. Was there a chance for her mother to be a human? "I\'m not sure about that but I think she was a human."

"What about your father?" the question had her frown to only knit tighter, "You don\'t know," said Beelzebub, "But at least we could tell that your father is more than just a human."

"You are not answering my question from earlier," Elise said, knowing that the man was trying to veer her focus on his previous word. "How do you know that reaper does not come from me?"

Beelzebub sighed, "You are more than a normal human, lass. You might be a human but your groom is not. If the reaper come for you-"

"Their scythe would be red color," Elise completed the word for the Demon to nod with a smile. He appeared to be chatty today and as he didn\'t refuse to tell her what she ask, Elise continued to ask the man, "Have you ever seen a Demon Bride before?" because Beelzebub seem to know more than her.

"No, but I\'ve seen pacts before," and Elise\'s brows raised up as she doesn\'t know what the pact was. The high Demon continued, "When a marriage is promised from a Demon to another, they would make a pact, and I see Ian had made one with you. For a demon with a human partner there would be a slight difference when the pact is established, the human will acquire a part of the Demon, therefore making the reaper to reap their soul with the red scythe."

That happened? wondered Elise. "I don\'t remember a pact made between me and Ian?"

"The humans wouldn\'t remember as the Demon would be the one to use the pact," answered Beel and Elise keep an eye on the reaper who seemed to have stopped following them once they passed by another village. Did it leave because there wasn\'t anyone who it want to reap? wondered Elise, thinking that it was fortunate.

She felt uncomfortable in silence with Beelzebub. The man was here to protect her which mean he wasn\'t all bad. There were some questions in her mind, but she could tell what Beelzebub know was also limited, "Is it alright for you to answer me all this?" the Demon look at her when she asked, "I thought you would keep silence than to reply to our question."

"There\'s no problem, I\'ve told Ian about this anyway, and what I know isn\'t necessarily important that I can\'t tell you," but somewhere Elise felt that the man was still holding secret. "The reaper is gone," Beelzebub noted what Ian said, and he curled his lips, "I think you have nothing more to worry now, is it?"

Looking at the window there was no reaper, but why does she felt a little uncomfortable about it? It was as if the reaper was a bad sign but Elise hope it wasn\'t and that the reaper had not followed them but that it was going to the place for them to reap soul.

While silence prevail in the carriage, Elise was suddenly remembered about the body that was supposed to stay inside the casket back in her aunt\'s basement. A day before, Ian had told her that he would look about the boy that disappeared. However, they had more important people to find such as her father and sister, and Ian told her the possibility of finding the boy whose face they never saw was low. She wondered where did the boy went or if like her aunt said came back to life?
