The Search for Freedom

I knew that I didn't owe any favor to Alicia because it was all her mistake why I was fighting. I already learned my lessons, and that thing was just a part of the puzzle. What I should do was to make myself busy in the things that I needed to do. After a few moments of waiting, Alicia was already done in offering the spirit to her master.

"We're done what we needed to do in this place, so let's go to the next?" I asked.

"Don't be hasty Kaila, because the tenth person that you needed to kill is not just an ordinary person and there is a big possibility that you cannot defeat that person," Alice said, worriedly.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "Can't you just tell me who is that person that I needed to kill? So that we cannot waste our time in just standing here?"

"That person is a woman who has a beautiful voice. Hold my hand and I will bring you to the place where she is living."

I held Alicia's hand and we suddenly appeared in the other place.

"The next person is a woman who has a beautiful voice. Her power also came from her voice. She can make strong waves through her voice and you must avoid hearing them, else you will be out of consciousness and you could not see her again nor kill her," Alicia said.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Then tell me where is that woman right now," I said.

"She is inside her house, right there." Alicia pointed her index finger to the house ahead. The house is just simple but beautiful.

"Do you want to help me in killing that woman?" I asked.

"Why did you asked me that? Can't you do it by your own?"

"You told me that she is not just ordinary and there is a big possibility that I cannot defeat her, that is why I am asking your help. Don't worry about the eleventh person, because I will also help you to search for that person."

"You said it, so let us go there now and this will end." We slowly went near to the house of the woman who had the power of voice. There were many houses standing near to her house, but seemed to be empty because it was so silent there. Maybe those people that lives there were already sleeping because of the beautiful voice of the woman. Sleeping was different from being out of consciousness, those people might out of there consciousness because of that woman. It seemed that I needed to cover my ears while walking if she would began to sing, because I would be definitely out of consciousness too if I heard her voice. I and Alicia slowly went near to the house where she lives, so that we could not make any noise that could make her asleep. It was already evening and probably the voice woman was asleep.

Alicia used her power to teleport with me and we entered in the house of voice woman without making any noise. It was quite weird inside the house, because it seemed empty and there was no other people lives there. We slowly search for the voice woman; we found her sleeping inside a bedroom.

She didn't have beautiful voice only, but also beautiful face. She had white skin, high nose, long, straight hairs. She was not only beautiful, but also sexy.

Without doubt, I ended her life through putting the pillow on her face with force so that she could not breathe and dead. I heard her woke up and said something, but because she was suffocating, I could not understood what she was talking about. Eventually, she quieted down. Those happening was not too fast, but I thought that it would be the most easier fight that happened, because the enemy had not fight back. She meet death that was smiling at her.

"Ha!" I suddenly exclaimed. "This is the easiest fight that happened. I can't believe that you would like to tell me that there is a big possibility that I cannot defeat this woman."

"That just... a... nothing," Alicia stammered.

"You just waste your time to go with me though you even had not help me in anything, and now we will need to searched for the eleventh person because you chose to go with me instead of searching for that person," I scolded.

"Can you stopped scolding me? I know it was my mistake when I told you that your enemy is so powerful, I even did not think that every normal people need to sleep at night to rest," Alice said, apologizing.

"See? You even admitted your mistake, so please don't say unimportant things again. Don't say anything as long as you had not think well about it."

"I know-I know that, so you don't need to remind me because I am not having an amnesia, I had been strolling in this world and I don't need someone's admonition."

"If you don't need someone's admonition, why you are making mistakes though you had been strolling in this world for over thousands of years?" I asked.

"Nothing, I am a demon and however I avoid to make wrong to others, it was difficult for me to do, because I am born by mistakes, grew by mistakes, lived with mistakes and I am doing mistakes my whole life. That's how sinful I am and no one can removed that from me whatever they will do," Alice said.

"Wow... So you are bragging because you born with mistakes and lived with mistakes? Are not you felt ashamed because of the wrongs that you did to other people?" I asked.

"Kaila, we can't live in this world without making mistakes. What we can do is to accept that nobody can live in this world without making mistakes."

"I can't live in this world without making mistakes and so I can't live without doing wrong to others, because killing people is the only way to get rid from the curses that came from someone who loved making wrong to others though they are not doing wrong to her."

"Can you stopped mentioning the past? You better stopped talking for now and go outside, because I will be offering the spirit of this woman to my master."

I went outside the house without saying anything. I knew that Alicia was just pretending that she knew nothing about mistakes and doing wrong to others. She might just avoiding me to chide her mistake that could not be gone in my mind.
