Chapter 9

'Dear, Gatel, this is a note to you. if I die after today and you start to blame yourself cause you were the who gave such an inspirational speech to me to motivate a fourteen years old girl to kill a monster. You are right. Please blame youstself. It is all your fault.

Or else, you would have known, na way I could have taken care of someone like a grim reaper One O' One all by myself.'

I was thinking this , I just note it down for future reference, incase I do something stupid again and then Gratel can go to Jail after my funeral.

Yes, it was Stupid. It was exhilarating It was as if I was walking in a dream. I was not allowed to feel anything.

Not until my good goal was fulfilled.

Not even when Jonathan picked me up like I was a child in his arms ."You can not be walking on stairs on those heels, Miss Flores, so bear with my rudeness for a while!"

Of course, Miguel & other had offered .

But I had nagged like a little baby for only Jonathan to accompany me, not the others.

Aunt was busy with Isabel.

It would take time for her to hear about my little tantrum.

Hopefully, enough time for me to push Jonathan down the tall tower

Yes, I had just planned a marder, all by myself.

Monster or not.

Since I could not take him down with strength, gravity could be my bigger weapon.

"Here you can see the sky, closer" Jonathan sat me down on a seat ,I could see that the railings were still not made. According to Lady Swan the building was still getting constructed, so it could go higher.

"Uh, but please avoid going near the edge," Darwin warned me.

Looking down gave me vertigo. The people looked like ants down there."Higher!, I told him ,"I want to go higher !"

"But that will be dangerous", Jonathan shook his head," The floors above are still under construction, how about coming back later , it will be more beautiful when they have finished, they would also be adding gardens .It will be interesting to see."

"Please, let's go higher," I hugged on his arm like a little child, I realised that I was on verge of tears. I was scared of what I was going to do," This one time, please, what could happen? You are going with me !'

"Yes, what could happen, I would be there," he agreed, repeating in a small voice, he thought for a minute and then smiled," Them let us come back before your family is aware of it ."

"Yes, I will be quick!"

"But we are not taking the stairs?"

And we rode a metal box.

I do not know how else to describe it.

Jonathan said that it has a name 'Elevator". But it was is just a small metal room which takes you to the higher floor when you don't want to use the stairs.

It's like a carriage. But it goes upwards.

We had to enter the small metal the box where Jonathan pushed few buttons and it started to go up.

I felt my stomach plummeting down inside my body, my heart beat rose as if it knew the terrible future I was heading towards.

"Usually , the Constructor workers use it to transport materials to higher floor ," again Jonathan was the only one talking,"But it could be a good ride that can also Save the time."

"If you knew about it why were we taking the stairs ?,"I was hanging at one of the railing at the side for my life - Maybe the almighty God was of my plan, and would punish us by plummeting this ' Elevator' to the ground .

"I wanted to appear as a hard working and sincere person to you, Miss Flores", Jonathan told me with a sly smile,"I am afraid , I believe that I have never been enough to earn your trust?"

Ding!

And the elevator door do opened.

There were debris every where, naked rods stood here & there like skeletons .

There was no wall but just at the back of the elevator.

Only ten meters stretched before me.

The sky looked like a dome that was trying to swallow us .

It was a terribly perfect place to commit a murder.

Of couse there were no railings.

But my heart beat was rising as I was coming near the edge as if my brain was denying the fact there were still ground left before me .

There was a ringing in my ear . I felt a sweating tickling my neck even though it was windy.

It was just me & Jonathan.

No witness if had he thought to kill me at this very moment.

Also.....I did not know how to go back after shoving him down the edge.

"So what are you so upset about?," Jonathan asked me.

"About what?," I was caught off guard.

"You seem to be in distress, as if your are in a funeral" Jonathan chuckled at his own joke, "My apologise".

"I am just-" I walked while looking down, I was afraid if I looked up a gazed at the glaring dark sky I would get scared and get back to the safety again, "I am just very worried about my sister".

"What are so you worried about?"

"Come here and look," I called him to join me though I could barely see anything because of the wind and my rising level

of adrenaline," The people down there?"

"Can you see them from here?," Jonathan's eyebrows went up.

"The people there, they are- different," I avoided his question, dragging on the conversation.

"They are?"

"Yes! you are different !," my hands trembled, " My Sister is not like that?

"Yes, I know Miss Isabella is different from the people here,"he took a step at me ," I see what you are anxious about but Miss Isabella is a very graceful, wise, charming lady, I am sure that she will find her place here".

"No! you do not know that!" how dare he acts like he knows everything about Isabella.

"She is going to be alright" Jonathan told me gently, he was almost beside me now ,"Why don't we go back and have this conversation at somewhere Safe?"

But I could not let him back down. This chance would come once in a blue moon. I grabbed him arm ,"What if she does not! What if something happens!!"

"Well, then I will be there to look after her," he closed his eyes, for once he seemed sincere, when I could no longer see his eyes and there was no fake emotion on his face,"I will make sure so everything is alright for her."

"Can you promise me that?," for a moment I was desparate, as if that point was where everything could take a turn.

"Of course, Miss flore,"he told me, when he opened his eyes, I could see what a Soulless monster he was, there was no promise ,he was just saying things that I wanted to hear," Of course I can promise you that"

There was no remorse in his lies, there was no sincerity.

"What a liar?"

And I shoved him off the edge with all my strength..
