Ok! Now for another chapters of adventures! Last time, on Demonic Love, Fiona has joined the group, thanks to Grace for her compassion. They talked about everyday life like others do and soon after, gave Kurapika an interesting picture, this time, what will our female lead do next? Find out now.
Grace's/Elizabeth's POV
It's really happening. Is this real, or a dream? I don't know anymore, but I do know what I have to do right this moment. "You ready, Elizabeth?" I nodded my head.
To be honest, I want to make sure there's peace there, but then I wonder why in the world I should do after that. Go there and become queen, or just go back to my friends and family. My birth brother, Dracula, whistled the bats that then surrounded us to go to where ever we're going.
"Brother," I called out to him. He turned to me with his bloody red eyes. "Tell me. Since I still have amnesia, I do know we're going to our kingdom, but what I want to know is where is it? Somewhere in hell or something?"
I saw him nod in reply. "Yes, we're going to our home place. Hell. The western part of it. We call the western parts the Akumo's Sanctuary. Or 'The Devil's Sanctuary'. A place where all demon's live in peace. Some people say that it's way better than heaven, but we all know what it's like up there. Heaven is full of love and full of freedom, but we all know that's a bunch of bull. Living by rules and restrictions. In Hell, we know there are no restrictions! No rules to follow!"
There are some truth to what he says, but sometimes, we do need them. We can't have one without the other. I don't believe that darkness or light are evil like others say. We just need. And what I don't like about it's ok to question things about one another. We want to make sure if it's right.
Kurapika. You know that I will die for my friends. But there's no reason to die for the dead.
Kurapika's POV
It's morning. I wonder if Grace is in her room now. Well… I checked the time and it's ten o'clock. She's probably up by-
"KURAPIKA!" Killua?! Gon?! What the-
I thought she might be with them. "Grace! She's," Gon panted. "She's…"
I beckoned them to calm down…. GRACE?! What happened?! "What happened to Grace?!"
"She's gone!" Killua… how did… she didn't…. "We found a note! But we don't understand it! Is there a way for you to translate it?"
"That letter might give us clues to where she went. Please Kurapika."
I saw Killua gave me the note, I had no choice but to snatch it away from him. Grace… what happened to you?! Please, you need to be ok. Please be ok… these characters… I don't know them. What the hell are these? What type of language is this?! I want to know where she is and this note is the only way. Someone… help… I… I don't want to lose someone important to me again. Mom…? Dad…? Pairo…? So why…? I felt like… I failed her… Grace. "Grace… where are you?"
No one's POV
The two twelve year olds looked at each other. So he doesn't know where she's at? They need to find the vampire. They want to know. Yes, she is a vampire, she can be scary, and yet she cares for the people around her, even if it's the enemy, but they don't know where to start.
A cough could be heard. They turned around to see it was the chairman of the Hunter Association, Chairman Netero. He put out his hand and asked, "May I?"
They three boys looked at the paper. Kurapika slowly nodded and handed the letter to him. Netero flipped the paper so that's in his face and carefully read it. The old man hummed for a moment. "Oho… I see. This language is a very difficult one. Not many people… well demons, are known to this writing. It is said that it came from a different dimension, but I shouldn't explain that now, so I'll give you what it says. 'I know who I am, and I know who I love. Though not my past, I cannot just sit there and do nothing. So please understand that I need to help Dracula. We might've been connected in the past, and I want to look at the future, there's someone in need and I can't disappoint. I hate myself for leaving you guys and I might not make it alive, but know that I will fight to survive. I don't want to die for you, but live to see your smiles, to hear your laughter in the air, and to embrace your warmth. So don't find me. I love you guys, you're family to me. Kurapika, know that from the bottom of my heart, I will always love you.'"
He narrow his eyes towards it. But before he wants to explain where she's going, he then looked up to see the males. They were awestricken. Killua didn't had any words, Gon is pacing back and forth rambling about his concern and Kurapika growling at himself for not stopping her. He knows what they want. He felt like he needs to find his love.
"Elizabeth," the Chairman replied to the others.
Gon was the first one to ask the old guy. "Where is she? We need to know!"
Netero knew didn't know what to say about the situation. He wanted to tell them where Dracula and the vampiric girl is at, but something is stopping him. But the burning desperation in Kurapika's eyes shown through his scarlet red. But he made it. It's the one thing that can keep him near the one he loved the most, William, their uncle. He remembered those times together with him. And how the reason why Netero cannot see him again. He didn't want the same fate to happen to the Kuruta, and the two boys. They already suffered enough. She's the only hope to heal their broken souls.
He looked down and let out a sigh. "I'm very sorry, but I can't say."
Chairman Netero turned away, not making eye contact with him. The others were shocked. They don't understand. Kurapika is really desperate. For the location for his love. He knows where they're at but he won't tell? He can't. He wanted to know, he needed to know. His eyes continue to glow the beautiful scarlet of his deceased clan that were murdered. He doesn't want it anymore. The last survivor doesn't want to lose the people that he cares about. He lost everything from his mother, father, and even his best friends. But when she came to his life, now his life has more meaning. She opened Kurapika eyes to see that the family he has right is in front of him, there to support him. He thought that he only needed revenge in his life, but she… she's the one he needs and Gon, Killua, and even Leorio. And now that Grace is disappearing just like that.
Finally, the Kuruta … made his decision. The fallen Kurapika walked out of his room and continued to walk down the hall, eyes full of determination. "And what are you doing young man?" He heard the Chairman scold.
He let out a scoff and asked him, "What does it matter to you?" Suddenly, the old man was in front of the blonde male and gave him a glare. Kurapika returned the glare with his very own. He tried to walk passed him, but then stopped by a hand. He sighed again and answered without hesitation, "Since you won't give me the location of where Grace is at, then I'll find a way for myself. And I don't care who gets in my way."
"You can't, no human can ever go to where they're going." Netero replied coldly, but following behind the young man are Killua and Gon. They looked at Netero with the same determination as him to get her back.
The blonde male growled at the old geezer. Fire was burning intensely as when they were in Trick Tower, but slightly more bright than before. "I want to find Grace as soon as I can!" He screamed. Nothing was held back. Rage, longing, determination, heartfelt, and even annoyance were there. "Besides, I have a Hunter License now; since this thing can help me find where she's going to, there's no way I would ever give up finding where's at, even if the death of me!"
This time, Netero sighed and shook his head, but at the foolishness of the three males in front of him. "You just don't understand. What I'm doing isn't for just the sake of hers, but also your sake as well. You'll understand. I have to tell you something very important. But whatever you do, do not make the same mistake I did all those years ago."
That's it for this chapter! Why does Netero want to stop them from going to Hell? Did something happened in the past that no one ever knew? Would fate be cruel to them without a second thought? And will Grace reclaim the crown she solely deserves? Find out next time on Demonic Love. See you guy then.
