Cherreads

Chapter 21 - Surprises, Surprises~

"You see, 4 out of 4 times girls fall for me even if I wasn't doing anything. Why aren't you wrapped around my finger already?~" Cyrus was nothing like my Sijna.

Cyrus was only eating my head since the morning. The moment we had awoken, he was chirping in my ear about not 'loving him right away like all the other girls'.

I wanted to pluck his balls off.

Also. He sounds like a mosquito when flirting with me.

"4 out of those 4 women were blind."

"Blinded by my beauty, you say? I'm quite handsome myself. I know that. But I'm not toxic to not accept that I'm beautiful too~

Like you, Ms. Pretty huntress~"

I halted in my tracks. Gena almost bumped into me and Akira kept his hands in pockets and kept walking, lost in his own thoughts. Akira kept walking further, making me stare at his disconnected self in disbelief. But, comical. Not gonna lie.

"Am I pretty, Ms. Roxy~?"

That was my final straw.

I rolled my eyes and warned the guy who was fluttering lashes at me like I was his boyfriend.

"What's gonna be pretty on your face is my handprint if you don't move outta my way." I seethed.

"Oop! Feisty~ I love a wild cat!~"

I rolled my eyes.

Have I tortured myself under the Celestials for millenia of years that felt like eternity only for this human to torture me with his annoyance?

I wanted to go home to dad so bad...

That was how done I was with this man already.

But...thinking about Dad triggered few reminiscent memories in me. Hell is my home. My forever stead. I...belonged there.

It's been over 3000 earth years and I haven't gone home even once. Was taking care of earth and the calamity it was struck with that important? I never felt like going back.

Because...in the back of my head, I knew I wouldn't want to come back to save the world.

Humans pray to the wrong entity.

The Creator cannot handle every species' request.

But my dad can.

That's why he is Satan.

The almighty.

The powerful being that even The Creator feared and nulled him under his foot.

My dad is the best.

"Wow..."

I was pulled back to reality when he spoke again.

"I've never seen anyone look so...pretty while daydreaming. You were imagining to be in bed with me, weren't you?" The dirty blond haired male smirked. I felt like punching him.

What was stopping me?

I'm The Devil's Daughter.

Maybe I've turned too human staying on the surface. Oh well.

There was a vibration in the air. The sounds of vibration...of a device.

Akira stopped in his tracks and Gena looked around to see what the sound was. The normal humans could hear it too.

"So I'm not the only one hearing it?" I asked aloud. Gena, behind me, shook her head.

Akira turned around to realize how far along he'd walked, away from us, absentmindedly.

"Um...is that from you, C-Cyrus?" Gena pointed to the little metal device that was glowing a cyan, strapped to his waist among many other survival tools.

Interesting.

He's got a gadget on him too.

It wasn't just any gadget.

Gena quickly realized what the little metal and carbon fiber object was.

"It's a Tele. From...Shifter Regime HQ..."

Gena was surprised and so were all three of us.

Except for the owner of that thing.

Cyrus looked pissed. Slightly. Annoyed, if I could say better. He clicked the little buttons on it as a hologram popped up from the camera.

"How's my big boy?" The lady smirking at him, asked.

Akira and Gena's jaws dropped to the floor.

I jumped up an eyebrow.

"Your big boy is super entertained, Ms. Cap'n."

It was Captain Janet...

They know each other? Seemed like loathesome acquaintances to me, but I could be wrong.

"I knew you'd be interested, Cyrus. Have fun. And keep them safe. As always." She instructed, all while smirking.

"And I see you've broken a rule there." Captain Janet added.

"Your new recruit is amazing. Had to reveal myself, couldn't help." He replied, making Captain Janet chuckle lowly.

"I knew about that too. They have 3 months of time for their mission. And I've got an offer for you too." Said Captain to Cyrus. I was curious and kept listening.

"Shoot."

"I'll let you on the next mission with the three if you get me what I want." Cyrus heard that and jumped in the air, bumping his fist to the sky. He was excited for this odd offer. I was dying to know what it was. Clearly, Cyrus was yearning for that for a long time.

Wow...

Just wow.

Incredible dealing.

And the pawns? We three.

I couldn't believe that woman.
