Chapter 25 SHE IS GONE

"You left me," She cried, echoing in my ears. That goes directly from my head down to my heart. I shook my head as I answered. After all, I don't want her to think about leaving her because I never did that to her. I am always watching her from afar, and if only she knew how I suffer every day, I am not with her, but what happened now is out of my control. I left her to find my ex-wife's lover, and I didn't expect this tragedy to happen to her. To the woman that I love. I looked at her again and screamed in pain,
"Ahhh!!!" And all the dead screamed with me in agony. They are like my echo. When the queen died, all of the dead mourned. I suddenly feel anger, pain, and regret all at once. Regret setting her aside to find the person who ruined my life, anger at those who did this to her, and the pain of losing the woman I love. I stop myself from seeing her. I tried to resist the temptation the night when she was seducing me for the better future that awaits us, but now. NOW. I am looking at her hopeless and lifeless like heaven and hell are crushing on me at the same time. I can't describe the pain that I am feeling right now.
"Who did this to you?" I asked her, but she did not answer. She just keeps on crying. She is still shocked right now, and I know she is scared too. I am just one day away from her, which is what happened to her?
"Who did this to you?" I asked her again, but she just kept on crying.
"I am sorry… I am sorry… I am sorry," I cried while I was hugging her.
"Ahhh!"
I heard a scream from a woman not far from where we were. I immediately turned around, and I saw the woman scared and panicking. She immediately ran to her husband and called him while pointing to something in the creek. She is so scared, and she feels like she wants to scream; her husband goes to her and looks at what she's pointing at. He went to the creek and put the lilies away, and I saw her body. Tania's body is dead in the stream. She is naked with flies and rats having a feast on her body. I closed my eyes because I didn't want to see her in that situation. I feel like I want to explode at the same time break down seeing her lifeless body in the dirty, smelly creek.
"Call the police", The woman commanded her husband and immediately followed. The news spread like wildfire. I saw Divina running and crying with her husband. She broke down when they saw her daughter's dead body.

"Tania!!!" She screamed and ran to her dead daughter and hugged her out of the water. I want to go to Divina to comfort her, but I don't want to see Tania's lifeless body up close. The mother screams with my heart, silently screaming with her.
"No… no… please wake up!!!" She begged in pain, tragically seeing her daughter. Like me, she can't believe what happened to her daughter. Tania is a good woman; she's God-fearing and a believer, but why is no one protecting her from the monsters who did this to her. Why did heaven allow this to happen to her? Maybe because I was not there for her then, perhaps because I am busy with the woman who cheated on me. Now the woman who truly loves me is gone unacceptably.
"Who did this to you?" I asked her, but she just kept on crying. I tried to hug her again because I felt so sorry for her, but she pushed me away. Her blank and cold stare added to my pains. I know it is my fault because I left her. I promised to protect her, but I failed.
"No, please", She begged while looking away. She is in a state of shock and trauma and seeing her like that crushed my heart.
"It's Jopher and his friends who did that to her. They were back and raped her," Michael, who is now standing beside Maria, answered. She knew it, and she didn't do anything to help her. I bet she was just there watching because, like she is always saying, angels are not allowed to interact with humans. Fuck that! The woman I loved is now dead in a way that she doesn't deserve, and now Michael still has a gut to show herself to me and tell me what happened, and she didn't do anything to save Tania. I went to her at full speed and grabbed her shirt, carried her, and shook her.
"You know it," I said angrily to her. My eyes are raging looking at her because she was there, and she did nothing to save Tania. She knows how I tried to stop myself from seeing Tania follow what she said, not being attached to humans. She knows how hard it is for me to wait because I believe that we will have a promising future together, and yet, this tragedy happened, and she never told me or helped Tania. She let it make me angry with her.
"It is not my obligation to protect her," She said, which made me angrier.
"Or you?" She added. I lift her and bring her to the sky because of my anger, and I am like a rocketship blazing and plunging because I am furious at her. I feel like a fire burning in anger while staring straight into her eyes.
"That is her fate. You have nothing to do about it," She said, trying to explain to me why she didn't help Tania raped by Jopher and his friends.

I punched her on her face once, twice, thrice, and my eyes turned all black. I don't care about her explanations; all I care about right now is Tania and what happened to her is so painful. I feel like I want to kill Michael right now. My whole arms were covered with black smoke, and I am in rage right now. I don't stop punching her. I saw her spit blood and turn into fire. She punched me back, but her punch was nothing to me. I saw her eyes blazing in anger; I hadn't seen her eyes blaze for so long. I know she is furious like me now. I made her angry, but that's okay; it is nothing compared to what I feel about losing Tania. I imagined her standing there doing nothing while Tania was scared and desperate to survive because of the monsters preying on her. She turned into a phoenix while her eyes were still blazing at me. She grabbed me on my neck, and we were plunging like a comet going back to the ground. I want to let go of her, but she is holding me tight, and she is too strong. We landed with my back facing the ground full of marbles, shattered bottles, and garbage while she landed in a kneeling position with her blazing eyes still staring at me and her hand on my neck.
"Never forget that I AM MICHAEL," She said in a thundering voice that made the whole place shake, and she stood up and spread her wings and flew away in her phoenix form. Like nothing happened. Yes, I am nothing compared to her. HE IS MICHAEL, who disguises himself as a teenage girl. WTF?
I coughed and sighed. I went back to my normal look, and I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. My back is aching, and I feel like my bones are cracked. I never saw her raging because of me, but I am not thinking about that. I am thinking about Tania now, and I went to Tania with my cracking hips and bones. I hugged her and looked at her. Promise her that we will make Jopher pay for what they did to her. I hugged her like I didn't want to let her go anymore, with Maria we went back to my apartment.
"Ahhh!!!" I screamed and threw all the things I could grab because of my anger and frustration. I didn't see this coming.
If only I foresee this will happen, I will spend my whole life with her, and I will never leave her. I will not listen to Michael. I saw Maria crying too while watching me crying for Tania. She wishes that I would do the same for her because I never made her feel special and important when we were still together. I hugged and kissed Tania one more time and told her how sorry I was for leaving her. I know how she waited for me. I know she loved me, but it all goes to waste now. The happy moments and "the building my future" with her are now all gone in just a snap. I can't take the risk of losing her, but she needs to get her life back, even if it will be without me. I will accept my bitter fate if one day she wakes up not remembering me anymore. Suppose she will not look for me anymore if she does not look at me in my eyes because I am just a stranger to her. I keep kissing and hugging her because this will be the last time I can hold her in my arms again. I feel sorry for her for letting it happen, and I feel sorry for myself for losing the woman I love bitterly and regretfully.

"I am sorry… I am sorry," I cried while looking at her, and I kissed her for the last time and turned my back on her. I will hunt Jopher and his friends, making him pay for what they did to Tania.
"Wait, where are you going?" Maria asked, and she held my hand. She doesn't want me to go. Not because of her fears that the white smoke might get her, but her jealousy of Tania. I just looked at her without a word. She let go of my hand and looked at me.
"Don't leave me here", She said, but I didn't mind her. I need to find Jopher, and I will crush each bone until he dies. I let Maria secure with my black smoke because I am away with Tania. I want her to be safe. I held Tania's hand, and we went to look for Jopher.
I know Jopher is just around, so I tried to find him to make him pay for what he did to Tania. I will never forgive him, even if he begs. I will kill him with my bare hands and look into his eyes for him not to forget what I look like before he dies. Up to his last breath, I will make him feel the pain he caused Tania. I will never let him forget the nightmare that he deserves. I hold her hand, and I know she is scared to see Jopher again, but I tell her that I will never leave her. We just need to make him pay so that she can take her life back. She doesn't deserve to die, and I know it isn't her time yet. I am ready for the consequences of her forgetting me, and I want to see her alive again. I can still hear her crying in vain, but that's okay because once we found Jopher. I want her life will be back even if it would be hard for me. We look around the place to find Jopher. My instinct says that he is just around hiding. He got nowhere to run. He is already wanted for stealing. So there is no chance of him leaving the place.
After an hour of finding Jopher, I saw him inside his friend's house, and they were doing drugs while he was playing darts. The loud rock music that can blow an eardrum is playing. They can barely hear each other when one of his friends offers him one last round of cocaine. He looks wasted and high with his friends. I saw bottles of beer and cigarette butts all over the house. The maniac can't feel me because his vibration is too low even though I am already inside his house. Tania is hiding behind me, holding my hand tight. She is too scared. She can't even look at Jopher while he keeps on hitting Tania's photo on the wall. He uses her photo as his dartboard, and he is eager to hit Tania's face with a bullseye. I watched him play and looked at Tania, who was still hiding behind me. The pain that he inflicted on the woman that I love caused trauma.
"I told you, you will end up with me. Only with me," He said, and when he missed the target, He got mad and tore Tania's photo on the wall and threw it away.
"They didn't know who did it to Tania. So we are still safe," One of his friends said while sitting wasted on the couch. Maybe they don't know, but I know, and they are not safe because I am here to make them pay.

My tattoo is burning again, and I can feel myself changing. I can feel the energy I am releasing because it is too high. I am full of anger watching Jopher and his friends and having fun after treating Tania as a pig. I feel like I want to take his soul away from his body in the most painful way. I didn't expect that I could produce thousands of smokes. They are coming into every corner of Jopher friend's house, which makes the whole house dark that makes them scared. That's right, be afraid because I am only starting. I don't have mercy for those who ruined my life, and tonight, you will all be punished for what you did to the woman that I call my "life."
"What is going on?" His other friend from the room went out. He is only wearing boxer shorts, and there's a young woman who follows her—covered only with a blanket. She looks dirty and wasted too.
I let them see Tania standing in front of them, which makes the dirty woman scream in fear, and run away even though she only has a blanket covering her body. The three tried to run too, but I immediately closed the door so that they couldn't escape. I looked at Tania and nodded at her, whispering to her ear, "Kill them, baby." She smiles, and she runs to the three with fear in their eyes. Seeing the woman they killed is now running to them. When the white smoke suddenly appears, I immediately cover Tania with my smoke to protect her so that the white smoke will not get hurt. I looked above, and I saw the other angel, watching. Until now, his real name is a mystery. I closed my fist, spread my wings, and immediately flew to him. I don't want him to get away with what he did. He ruined my life too, and now he will be punished by my wrath. I tried to grab him on his neck, but he suddenly disappeared in front of me, and he suddenly kicked me from behind. He is moving at full speed now, so I do the same. I can suddenly copy him now. I grabbed him in his wings behind him and Liked what he had done to me before. I threw him and watched him crash on the ground and then hold him again and throw him again. My whole body is covered with black smoke now, and the energy flowing in me is unstoppable. I kicked him and stepped on his chest with my total weight. I saw his eyes in all white, and he was looking at me.
"Who are you?" I asked him, but he just smiled and turned into a woman with horns and with a piece of black cloth that covered her face. She had black beads hanging on her head and smoke coming from her palm, and even her face was covered. I know that she is looking at me. She was trying to hypnotize me and control me. Then she turned into an angel with six wings, thousands of eyes all over his wings, body, and on his forehead. He had horns too, and then he turned into a human who looked like me. I am like looking at the mirror, and my reflection is looking at me. He calmly smiled and grabbed my leg that made me slip, and then he threw me. I smashed into the ground, causing minor damage to me. I immediately stand up even though my body still aches. I will not let him win again. I will not let him get Tania or Maria. He has a lot of identities, and I don't know which is his real identity. I feel like there is a lot of energy inside his body, like trapped energy from angels who allow being under him. Who is he? How can he trap the angel's energy inside his body that makes him stronger? But it doesn't matter because even I can feel his flowing energy. I WILL NEVER LET HIM WIN!

I flew fast when I saw him going to Tania. I need to get her before him. My black smokes are still covering Tania from his white smokes. He looked at me and disappeared again, and I saw him behind me. He will kick me, but I avoid him by flying behind him and kicking him with all my force. I saw him crash to the ground and break his wings. He tried to stand up, but he was in pain. Three of his wings are broken, and he is bleeding too. I gave him damage that he will not be going to recover from. I saw my black smokes attack him, and this was my first time to see him couldn't do something about it to defend himself. His white smoke is not moving, and it seems that they are just waiting for his command, but he is in deep pain and cannot command anymore. I looked at Jopher and his friends because we were not yet done. They were so scared and shaking because they didn't expect to witness something unusual. I went to them and lifted two of his friends high in the sky. I will deal with them first, and I will let Jopher watch what I can. Their scared eyes are looking at me. Begging for me not to hurt them, but I just smiled and said, "I will give them no mercy,"
I am holding them now in my both hands, and their weeping gives energy to me. Their veins are coming out because I am suffocating them, but I do not want to do with them. I will not kill them by just suffocation but burn them. At the same time, I am holding them through their neck. I release smoke to create a fire. The black fire that got them burned and turned into ash. I looked at Jopher, who was watching us from below. I saw him pee on his pants because he was too scared now. He wants to run, but I never let him run.
I went to him and grabbed him as I did to his friends. I lift him as high as a 30th story, and I make him look into my eyes. I saw him crying now, begging for his life, but I just smiled at him and dropped him with his back facing the ground. I watched him fall to the ground and listened to him as he bounced on the floor. I heard his backbone and skull cracking. I saw blood coming out of his mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. I intended to drop him only in the 30th story because I know it will hurt him, but it will not kill him.
I don't want him to die just like that. I want him to feel the pain he did to Tania before he killed her. I plunged to him and got him on his neck; he spits blood, and by the look on his eyes. He is begging for his life. I am hard as steel now, and begging won't work on me. I pulled his soul out from his body like I was pulling the ribs from the body. I can hear him scream in pain, but I don't care because their pain to Tania and me is more painful. This is the end of them and the end of my hopes and future with the woman I love. After I pulled his soul, he burned and turned into ash instantly. The paper with "lust" written on it burned in my hand. The fight is over, and the woman I love is now gone.
"Ahhhh!!!" Even though I knew it wouldn't help, I screamed to release my pain because killing Jopher and his friends was not enough. I know the bitter, sweet will come next. The painful truth has now come that the woman I love will be alive again without a single memory of me in her thoughts. Without a single love for me in her heart. From this night, she will only see me as a stranger. Killing Jopher and his friends didn't decrease my anger. I closed my fist and grinches
my teeth when I remembered the angel with many identities. I went to him because we were not yet done. I want to kill him to end this game, but he is no longer lying on the ground. His white smokes are gone too. I tried to look for Tania from where I left her, hoping to see her one more time, but she was no longer there. She is gone without me saying goodbye to her.
