Chapter 6[Arrival...]

The whole evening went by with us just eating and having fun as a family.We were sharing stories and just chatting around while savouring grandma's meal.As always. grandma's cooking was just perfection.

"Rowan, son, tell us, when are you planning to give me a great grandchild?"

Grandma shot a question out of nowhere.

Rowan choked on his rice balls as I patted his back, trying my best to suppress my laughter.His face flushed red while he was trying to keep his calm.He drank some water and answered slowly.

"Aah...granny..stop it.."

He said, still too shy for this conversation while all of us cracked up with laughter.

"Stop what?How old are you?24?25?Yes, you're 25 years old already.Get yourself a girl or a guy, marry the person and give me my great grandchild!"

At this point, Jin's face was completely red. Aww, this boy.He cleared his throat before speaking.

"I know grandma, I'll eventually find someone for myself,but I want someone who not only accepts me, but Bella too.I see no point in marrying someone who wouldn't treat Bella like their own family and I'll wait till I find a person who would love Bella more than anything."

He said, looking at me.Wait, why is this conversation turning towards me now?

"Because Bella will always be my first priority"

His pure words melted my heart.I turned to him and gave him a warm smile.Oh, Rowan..what would I do without you?He returned the smile and continued eating.

"So, how is our birthday girl doing?"Grandma turned her interview session to me.

I gave her a bright smile, indicating that I'm excited for my birthday which is in 4 days.

"I don't know how to put it....I feel very excited but it also feels very different this year...not like my previous birthdays, I feel like a huge responsibility is coming my up, since I'm turning eighteen, maybe."

From the corner of my eyes,I saw my grandpa tilted his head to me.He looked at me for a brief moment,giving off a vibe as if he is debating within himself whether or not to speak up.After a moment of silence, he finally cleared his throat, still maintaining his gaze towards me.

"It is darling, it is.You have to be prepared for anything, you will never know what is coming your way.Sometimes, you may have plans for yourself and your family might have plans for you....but someone somewhere might have something bigger in stock for you to face....that is life...."

Now that I'm recalling, this is the first time he spoke in the whole evening since the incident in the art room.He was awfully quiet this whole time, silently watching me.

I flashed him an awkward smile and continued eating.What is coming?What should I be prepared for?Responsibilities?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

That night, no one on earth predicted what was coming to their world.A huge storm, indicating the Gates of Hell just opened.Gates of Heaven were shut still, for danger was in loose.All forces on earth was awakening by the warning.The sky, blood red, roaring, as the Lord of the Underworld stepped down from Hell for a pleasant visit to the earth.The Hell is empty because the devil is here, waiting to pry on innocent souls, waiting to destroy anything opposing him and waiting for a sweet, sweet revenge.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up in the middle of the night, and looked at my phone screen.

"12:32 a.m."

Why couldn't I sleep?Something is bothering me.I got down from my bed and walked to the window, slightly pushing off the curtains.

What I saw next completely took me off guard.I froze looking at the sky.It was stormy and raining heavily with roaring thunder.The thing that shocked me the most was the colour of the sky.

It was in the shade of blood red.

The sky looked dangerous, like a sort of warning.

I've never seen the sky in this shade and in this terrible of a weather before.I gulped, looking outside.Something felt not right.

All of a sudden, I felt my heart beating very fast and my head started to hurt a lot.It felt as if electricity was running through my spine.It was painful, very painful.My heart beat increased in pace.Before I even knew it, I was already hyperventilating.

I fell down, creating a huge thud, and sat there, hugging my knees and covering my ears till the pain went away.

Suddenly, the door busted open, revealing Rowan and my grandpa.They immediately ran to me.

"Bella!Bella!!Look here!!"They tried shaking me, to get me to consciousness.

I could see that they were calling out my name, but I couldn't hear them.Their screams and yells were inaudible to my ears, almost in muffles.

My eye sight was blurring as I could only see them in shadows.Soon, I blacked out.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Devil walked on the earth, disguised to look like a regular mortal.He dodged his head upwards and looked around, enjoying the scene of human beings running all around, trying to find shelter from the disastrous weather.

Thunder was roaring, splitting the sky and trees were uprooted all over the place, unable to withstand the strong wind.The sky was blood red, warning people that danger has arrived.

But he stood there,in the middle of all the chaos, not even a tiny bit affected by the condition of the earth.Not even the wind was able to touch him.People were gawking, staring at him wondering if he has gone mad.Which crazy man would stand in the middle of the road unprotected during a thunder storm?Well, Devils are exception, aren't they?

But, little did they know that the person in front of them is the Lord of the Underworld, the root of all evil, disguised as one of them.The Earth has to be ready for more disasters for He is not going back without a war.A war of blood, a war of power and a war of LOVE.
