My Boss Is A Soul Eating Spirit.
The Mission
Isabella
And then the soul eating spirit is going to break my soul, torture it, chew down all my memories and erase my existence from the universe.
Bella gasps breathing heavily as she finds herself surrounded by her nightmare.
Leon
So did you understand?
Beet
No she did not, she wasn't listening.
Bella's eyes bounce from Leon to Beet and then back to Leon.
She's scared but curious about what they're talking about.
Rel jumps landing into Bella's lap, but this time Bella doesn't freak out like earlier.
Leon sighs before starting again.
Leon
Bella, you need to listen carefully as I won't be repeating it anymore.
Isabella
I don't want to... I want to go home.
Isabella
Stop playing with me.
Isabella
I just wanted to end my sufferings.
Isabella
Just because you were able to save me doesn't mean you get to manipulate me, I don't want to live... Is it so difficult for you people to understand?
Isabella
Planning a whole drama, giving me drugs that'll induce hallucinations in me.
Isabella
You think it's all working? Just because I'm under the drug?
Isabella
And these puppets!
Bella throws Rel with enough force that he hits the foot of the bed.
Rel winces in pain, Beet runs to help him.
Isabella
It won't work on me.
Bella huffs, folding her arms against her chest and looking away from Leon.
Leon
And you thought i was dumb..
Leon scoffs, wondering what Beet has to say on this.
Grabbing Bella's he pulls her onto her lap, making her straddle his thighs.
Bella tries to get off his lap but Leon traps her, holding both her hands behind her with one hand and resting his other hand on her waist.
Leon
Now, I'll speak and you'll listen.
The clouds in his eyes crash with the clouds in Bella's eyes producing a huge thunder.
Leon
You have already accepted me twice.
One, when you jumped off the building you desperately begged for someone to save you and I was the one who had to save you despite being on another mission. You summoned me somehow.
Two, last night when i offered You my scepter you did not hesitate to accept it, making me yours.
Now you can't back off, you had your chance. you did not back off then and you can't back off now.
This feels like a punch in her gut and her shoulder slouches as if she's giving up.
Isabella
I never called for you, how would i call someone I don't know?
Isabella
And last night they deceived me and encouraged me to accept the wooden branch from your hands.
Bella turns her head, sharply staring at Beet and Rel who are resting by the foot of the bed.
A band aid glowing on Rel's head.
Leon
Beet and Rel are nothing but the reflection of your subconscious mind.
Beet represents moral, righteous and pious thoughts.
Rel represents Malicious, unethical and sinful desires.
Bella is taken aback by the revelation. Her mouth parts and her gut twists in turmoil.
Leon
Yeah, i wish i was a liar, but we can't lie.
Bella's eyebrows knit together forming a huge dent between her brows.
Isabella
(It all makes sense)
Isabella
(First the sheep is going to lure me into the trap)
Isabella
(The wolf is going to take care of my physical body by pouncing on me and eating me alive, it's going to rip my body piece by piece.)
Isabella
(And then this soul eating spirit is going to break my soul, torture it, chew down all my memories and erase my existence from the universe.)
Leon
But don't worry, once we complete the mission we both will be set free...
You'll be set free from me and I'll be set free from this world.
Isabella
What do you mean? What mission?
Leon helps Bella to stand.
Opening the door he walks out, Bella follows him gazing at the huge hallway.
The roman style pillar standing tall, the Renaissance painting on the ceiling reminding her of the kind of book she used to write.
Leon stops in his way and Bella crashes into his sturdy back.
Bella notices two huge glass tanks across the room, one is surrounded by flowers and the other on the right surrounded by weeds and climbers.
While there are butterflies floating and rabbits hopping on the ground around the left tank, there are venomous snakes slithering on the ground full of weeds and climbers.
Leon points at the tank on the left.
Leon
The tank on your left represents your happiness...
It will fill up every time you get happy... It has to be genuine happiness.
Isabella
Are you kidding??
Happiness???
Look at the size of that tank...even if i die and reborn 10 times, I won't be able to fill even half of that tank.
Leon
It might look difficult, but it is quite easy….
Happiness is a result of different positive emotions.
For example
see the Little tanks over there..
That tank fills up when you buy something out of pure desire, that makes you happy and it'll fill up the small tank as well as the huge tank behind it.
When you get positive news, achieve something, fall in love, it makes you happy, and hence, filling up that other small tank over there...
Leon
Don't worry, I'll help you with it.
Leon turns to look at Bella who's standing behind him fidgeting with her fingers, he extends his arm and pulls her closer.
His arm wrapped around her body, snugly holding her beside him.
Leon
Just don't push me away, that'll make everything difficult.
Isabella
What about the tank on the right? Why is it so... Creepy?
Leon
Oh, that…
Your negative feelings feed this tank and keep it alive, it's necessary to balance the system…. But if it grows, the creatures surrounding it will also grow, they'll also evolve, and they'll end up eating the creatures on the left.. Filling up more space in the tank.
Leon
I have seen that tank fill up more easily than positive tank.
Isabella
And what happens then?
Leon
The soul eater has to eat the soul of the human and after that the soul eater will vanish in thin air.
Leon
But i have faith in you..
We can make this work
He taps her shoulder turning them to walk back to the room.
There are a million questions in Bella's mind, but she decides to ask the one that'll be the easiest for him to answer.
Isabella
What if i decide to end my life again?
Leon
You will not succeed.
From the moment you accepted my scepter you are bound to me, no one other than me is capable of hurting you physically.
Leon
Yes, I don't lie.
Even if i want to I can't lie.
Leon
Also one more thing, you get to name those tanks...
He blinks sweetly before opening the door to the room.
They sit at the edge of the bed and Leon hands her the plate of pancake pouring a ton of maple syrup on it.
Leon
Eat this, I'll just go and check if they left any of your stuff at your place...
