Trapped with the demon.

Who is your daddy?

After Tiffany finished wearing the sportswear Aiden gave to her, she prepared to turn the knob of the bathroom door when she felt a presence behind her, a supernatural aura filled the restroom. Just how she felt it that night, in her room.

She turned slowly and shivered in fear as her guess was right, it was the mountain guardian and the lion spirit.

Today, they didn’t have a friendly look, they both looked like they were pissed at what she did and were ready to scold her any moment from now.

“You were warned, Akilang,” the woman, the lion spirit folded her arms tightly across her chest.

“I am Tiffany, not Akilang or whatever,” Tiffany glared at them.

“We warned you not to use force on any human,” her eyes bored into her.

“I didn’t use any force on any human,” Tiffany argued.

“Akilang!”

“Tiffany,” she corrected softly.

“You nearly killed that boy,” the man, the mountain guardian pointed his finger accusingly at her.

“Can you two stop making me feel like I am a monster? Why the fuck are you prying into my life? Just because you say a creature lives in me, you expect me to believe that shit?” she lifted an eyebrow.

The lion spirit shook her head, stretched her palm forward and a sword appeared on her palm which made Tiffany step back a bit. Lion spirit removed the sword and then tear her cheek swiftly with it then sheathed the sword immediately.

“Lion spirit!” the mountain guardian exclaimed, startled.

“Did you believe that now?” she pointed at the freshly cut wound that began to close up.

“Ask me how many human wounds can close on their own and I will tell you that you are the only human with that ability,” the lion spirit said and Tiffany placed her hand on her cheek slowly.

“I…” Tiffany started but words failed her.

The lion spirit and the mountain guardian stared at each other and nodded their head knowingly. The mountain guardian dipped his hand inside his cloth and removed a ring made with wood and pointed it to her.

“Always keep this ring on your thumb. With it, you can manage to keep the demon in you in check till we manage to trap Akilang back,” the mountain guardian explained.

“Who is Akilang? Why is it trapped inside me?” Tiffany asked as she collected the ring reluctantly.

“When it is the right time, you will know everything you must know. By the way, Akilang was a mountain guardian before it turned into a demon, even with the ring, he can take full control over your body when you are in a mountain or forest or wherever filled with trees,” the lion spirit said and Tiffany shook her head.

No way…

So, that was the reason what happened at the mountain years ago happened.

Gosh, her life was indeed a mystery.

“Tiffany, are you planning on giving birth in the restroom? The morning gathering is over!” Zoey shouted with a knock on the door.

“I… I’ll be out soon!” Tiffany answered with a shaky voice then swallowed hard.

Why the hell won’t she answer with a shaky voice?

Those times when she thought she was living a life full of mystery were nothing compared to two days ago when she joined Western high school.

Here, she meets with the most frustrating human on earth, a psychotic yet sweet person, Aiden, and then her first sweetheart, Zoey.

Oh, and the mountain guardian and lion spirit.

Wait, is this a fantasy movie because everything seems to be a lie, yet true.

Man, what a fucked up world.

“The world is not fucked up, the people are,” the lion spirit sighed.

“What?” Tiffany creased her brow.

There was no way she said that out, she fucking said it within her.

Oh, whatever, at this moment, it seems like her head was going to burst.

The restroom was getting stuffy already.

“Always keep the ring on your thumb. Always.”

Tiffany watched the woman turn into a lion and vanished leaving the mountain guardian who stared at her for a few seconds before it also disappeared.

Tiffany staggered, leaned against the bathroom door and stared at the ring on her palm, and wore it slowly on her thumb.

As she glanced at the ring which fits her finger perfectly like it was made for it, she turned slowly, turned the knob of the door slowly, and then gasped loudly as her eyes met with Zoey’s face who looked very pissed.

“Sorry!” Tiffany chuckled as she stepped out of the bathroom.

“Sorry? Would you show me your tail, please? It is not possible you spent all those minutes in the bathroom without turning into a mermaid,” Zoey grumbled.

“I’m sorry,” Tiffany smiled.

“Whatever. Are you comfortable?” Zoey asked as she scrutinize her body.

“Comfortable? Far from it. I only wear my pant and the sportswear, the rest had become a mess, even my bra,” Tiffany leaned toward Zoey to whisper to her.

“No wonder your nipple showed quite clearly from the vest. I get you covered, you can wear my jacket. I came with my hoodie too, you can wear that if you prefer,” Zoey laughed.

“I’ll go for the hoodie please, I’ll dîe of embarrassment if everyone seems to notice,” Tiffany rolled her eyes and Zoey laughed.

“I heard it’s going to rain today, just imagine you getting soaked like this. Trust me, you’re becoming a feast to the eyes.”

“You can say that again, Tiffany groaned then laughed.

“By the way, tomorrow is Friday, you should join a club. It is a must you join,” Zoey said.

“Yes, ma’am! Shall we go to the class now?” Tiffany giggled silently.

“Sure!” Zoey smiled then locked her arm with Tiffany’s.

“Oh, shît!” Tiffany exclaimed as they were about to walk out of the restroom corridor finally then stopping walking abruptly.

“What is wrong?” Zoey glanced at her.

“I forgot my bra inside the bathroom… on the sink!” Tiffany half screamed.

“Oh, shît!” Zoey burst into laughter and they both swirl swiftly.

“I trust my western high peeps. ‘Bra found in the restroom’ will be the caption. Trust me,” Zoey said amidst laughter as they walked hurriedly to the bathroom.

“I know, right?” Tiffany shook her head.

“Go get your bra, girl!” Zoey laughed as Tiffany hurried inside the bathroom.

“Bitch,” Tiffany laughed.

“You’ve got a nylon?” Tiffany screamed from the bathroom.

“No! Just hang it around your neck or wherever, we are fucking late for class!” Zoey screamed back.

“Shít-”

“Shît-”

Tiffany and Zoey chorused and they both burst into laughter.

“I knew that was going to be your next word,” Zoey said, still laughing.

“Hey, wanna keep my bra in your bag?” Tiffany walked out holding the wet bra in her hand.

“Oh, shît,” Zoey frowned her face in disgust and they both began to laugh.

Aiden sat on the couch, staring at Declan who was still lying on the cold floor then he glanced at Xyler who sat on the floor quietly.

“These dudes,” Aiden shook his head, laughing.

An idea suddenly crept up his head and he removed his phone hurriedly from his pocket.

“Come to think of it, western high kids didn’t come to cover the news here to spice up the scenario from earlier. Oh, these kids are fucking losing their talents,” Aiden murmured as he hurriedly took picture of Declan and Xyler.

As he thought of a caption to add to the picture once he uploads it on the school site, he burst into laughter.

He hurriedly uploaded it, added the caption and at that moment, Declan stirred then opened his eyes slowly.

“Fuck,” he groaned as he held his head.

“Dude, you’re awake?” Aiden tried to control the laughter that was threatening to burst.

“Hey, Xyler, get a grip on yourself!” Aiden grabbed the bottle beside him and threw it at Xyler who flinch immediately.

“What happened… it was a dream right?” Declan groaned as he tried to sit up, holding his waist, which hurt like hell.

“Well, you wish,” Aiden giggled gently.

“That bitch…” Xyler groaned from where he sat and at that moment, a notification sound came up from his phone then he leaned towards the table to take it.

As he unlocked his phone and visited the school blog, he widened his eyes at what he saw.

“What the…”

“What is that?” Declan creased his brow as his phone and then Aiden’s phone beeped.

He stood up forcefully, rushed to where his phone lay, grabbed it, and hurriedly checked the notification.

There, was fucking a picture of him lying unconsciously on the ground together with Xyler with the caption, “WHO IS YOUR DADDY?”

“Who fucking uploaded this?” Declan bellowed as he glanced at the anonymous username.

It was this person who uploaded what happed at the cafeteria on the first day of Tiffany in school.

“This person will surely die by my hand,” Declan frowned hard as he go through the sarcastic comments that the post already had.

Aiden looked away and laughed inwardly as he commend himself for a well-done job.

Man. It was fucking not easy.

“Who is your daddy?” Aiden said and burst into laughter which made Declan wish at that moment that his look could strangle the annoying dude to death.
