Chapter 41 - fulfilling my promise

After we settled down at Shawn's, I began to recall everything that had happened in the past. Now I knew that all my problems were over. But then, I remembered the promise I made to Zhou. I promised to help her see Dad, and that's what I'll do.

I went and kissed Vic good night, then kissed Shawn good night too, and told him I was going to visit Hell. "Be careful, my love," he said, planting a soft kiss on my lips. I nodded, then transformed. I just loved my demon looks: my long, reddish-black hair reaching my feet, my long fangs and nails, my tempting clothes.

Hell

I called for Lee. "My Queen, my daughter," he greeted. I smiled at him and offered him a seat.

"Why didn't you go to Mom?" I asked.

"I'm always watching her from afar," he said.

"Do you have any idea how much she misses you?" I asked. He kept quiet. "You're going with me to the witches' realm. You have to see her," I demanded. He had to obey.

"Look, darling, it's not that I don't miss or love Zhou, but she can't be with me. I am just her bad luck," he explained.

"And that's not for you to decide," I stated firmly. After giving him time to prepare, I dragged him to Zhou's house.

"Zhou... I mean, Mom!" I called from the tree. The tree that always surprised me, even though I had stayed in it for about three months. It was a tree from the outside, but the inside was a wonderful place to be. She hid from her own race because they betrayed her, killing me once.

Shortly, the tree twisted, and a passage was revealed. I walked with Jung Lee into the place, and then we reached a massive building. We went inside. She was sitting on the couch with Kim. She seemed to have changed the color of her hair from pink-orange to dark green. She excused herself after we exchanged greetings, then Mom ushered us to seats. I could feel how excited both of them were. I mentally self-palmed myself for unintentionally being present.

"Zhou... now, my promise is fulfilled. I brought your husband back to you, and now the rest is in your hand. I think I've done my part; it's time for me to go," I said.

They both looked at me speechless. "Wait, dear," Zhou called. I froze in my tracks of standing up. She hugged me, then gave me a charm necklace for both Vic and I.

"This will protect your energy... and also conceal your presence. I heard that the witches are looking for you but can't find you. They don't know how you managed to hide from them all this while..." she said.

Then I remembered that since I lost my innocence, I never spent a lot of time in the human realm. And if you stay in Hell for a day, your presence will be absent for a week. Now my witch powers are kept in Hell, so they can't track me down. I just kissed her good-bye, then left.
