Devils castle, in the hell, the devil was there, thinking about something. He was about to start the forbidden ritual, a ritual to bring back the dead.

But, a phenomenon happened, something disturbed the ritual. The priest along with the soldiers came and disturbed the whole ritual. the priest then used Christ's blood to seal the door to hell.

The devils army was Annihilated by the hero that came to defeat the devil. Or so that’s how the story goes, it’s been thousands of years since. But then another prophecy was born. a part of the castle was destroyed by the canons. the door to hell opened again. There was a small figure in the distance, it looked as if it was hovering through the air.

Someone shouts as he sees that, "Man, there's something there? It's moving" before he could say another word he felt a bit cold and chills ran down his spine as he saw the shadow now standing right behind him. before he could shout the shadow took him inside his cloak and vanished in a blink of an eye . yes the devil was back... back from the hell.

"So, mom. it's been 2 months now. dad should come back right? I know he is a archeologist but c'mon, doesn't he like his own family? " “ Oh, now come on Ellie, you know your father love us he’s just busy.” But her mom was thinking of something else. she was thinking, why her husband never contacted them, not even once, when he loved his family so much. Suddenly the telephone rang and she putting aside all the thoughts walked towards it to pic it up." Hello...who's there ?? " the voice on the other side was low and mournful. the next moment there was a sound of someone falling hard on the ground. Ellie came running and saw her mother lying on the floor and the telephone hanging. She shouted and called the neighbors. The next moment she knew was her father's dead body was found and her mother was in coma.

Ellie, who was a cheerful, happy go lucky girl a few months ago, is now a completely different person, it's as if her personality has changed quite a bit, not quite, but complete opposite. To others it may seem as she was mourning but in reality she was possessed by the same demon that killed her father. She went after those who were heartbroken.

She seems satisfied when she sees her victims fall into despair and the demon in her heart starts to grow stronger and more bolder than before. She went on a spree killing, taking the souls. she left none. She used the child's body to achieve whatever she wanted. she was overwhelming with joy and madly killing anyone she sees.

The little girl, whose brother had died is crying aloud, as she saw the whole thing happening in front of her. Ellie looked at her, she felt pity for the way the little girl was crying. she tried to recall, she tried hard. everything was a mess in her mind. She couldn't bear anymore and feel down, unconscious. (Within Ellie’s soul) “W...where is this place ? where am I ?? I wanna go back to my mom, where is she?!” She demanded from the golden parchment.

She was hoping for an answer from the golden parchment because she remembered before she lost consciousness, it was that thing that save her from demonization but nothing came out, instead, it was a question that comes from the last part of the prophecy "The key is within you". she woke up to find herself lying on the streets. and a little girl weeping.

she confused looked towards the little girl. she went towards her. but the girl terrified stepped back and told her to stay away. Ellie shocked tried to calm her down. She slowly stepped forward and hugged her. the girl unable to hold the tears back started crying again. she patted her head and kissed on her cheeks. The girl now stabled explained the whole situation to her.

It's been a long time since she is in control of her senses. All those times she fought hard from within against the devil that controlled her but no avail. So what's the thing that let this drastic change happen.

"The key is within you." what's that suppose to mean. As Elie was thinking about this the little girl asked,

"Big sister, where is my home, can you show me, please, I got lost. My brother wasn't waking up. will you help us, sister? "

That’s when it hit Ellie her memories were combined with the memories of the demoness as she had been possessed. She saw how she had massacred the little girls brother. She collapsed and broke out in tears

To be continued......

She didn't know what to feel- despair, pity, guilt and too much pain starts to eat her whole system. She was just a delicate 15-yr old kid, wanting to feel the warmth and love of a complete family but why is she suffering too much? She couldn't look in the eyes of the child, she wanted to help her but when she reached out her tiny hand, she stopped - it was tainted with too much blood. "Someone, help her. Someone, save me" She was too weak to move that she whispered those words hoping someone could hear her plea.

In the midst a forest in the night, the soul of the devil that escaped or rather, forced out of its vessel, was roaming there, wondering to find a suitable candidate like the one she possessed before. She was stalking pass the trees looking for her next prey, and not just anyone, the one with the legendary corpse veins.

She wonders if she could find another vessel and accumulates more dark energy before she returns to Ellie's body- the most perfect vessel for her to reborn. She couldn't give up with her yet that's why finding another prey is her priority this time. she was in desperate need of a body. she can't live much longer without a vessel. She will then take up other souls and increase her power to get inside Ellie's body again.

"After so many years, I have returned to the human world. The era has changed but the fear and despair hasn't. One must know the very definition of fear, and for that, I shall be the one, most feared once again. "

Meanwhile, a boy not much older than 11, was abandoned in a forest not knowing what may befall upon him. The devil akuma was to prey upon him.

"This boy is to pure, I can only get a little energy from him but anyway I'll take him. Human are just livestock. Soon, Akuma will reign again" she laughed madly. The boy unaware of the danger ahead was searching for a ray of light to escape from the pitch black forest. He could see a faint light coming from deep inside the darkness. He mustered courage and went towards it. Slowly he could see the light becoming stronger. He couldn't hold himself anymore and ran towards it. He hit something big and dense and fainted. The next day some villagers found his body and took him to the nearby hospital. As he opened his eyes, everyone in the room were horrified to see his eyes. there was no pupil. it was completely dark.

"Breaking news, a large portion of a village near the forest, has been completely disappeared. No one knows the real reason behind this happening. Many believe that it is a political affair and the blasted that area with bombs. Some thinks it's the work of the terrorists. Further report suggests that the nearby area was affected that as well, the forests was also affected"....

.What's this. Ellie who was lying on the bed looking at the news thinking. She doesn't remember anything after she lost her consciousness.

She tried hard to think but she couldn’t think of anything, even when she searched the memories of akuma. “Is she still around? Has she gone after someone else?”
