Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7: White misery

As we step inside the battle room one by one of the torches light up and in front of all of us stand a little girl with white hair and her eyes are red like the color of a ruby. She wore a white long dress that looks like a night gown wore by royals, she was bear footed and sitting at the stairs. As I recall in my novel she is supposed to be the angel of misery, Mirh. I look around the room and saw that Zagreus isn't anywhere to be seen, he's supposed to be here and standing in front of all the boys but he was no where to be seen.

What's going on his suppose to be here or maybe I just can't see him because of all the people here. "welcome to the battle room young guards, my name is Mirh, I'm an angel of misery. Before we start I would explain how this trail will work. There are a total of 5 rooms in the battle room. The first room is called white Misery, the second room is called Poisonous rose, the third room is called Mirror room, the fourth room is called Paradise of death, and the last one is called Life or death. Each room will have a different guardian that you all will have to get pass and I'm the fist Guardian, shall we start" she has a sweet little cute voice and an innocent look of child but her true personality is worse than a demon.

This girl enjoys inflicting pain and suffering to many people.

"If any of you want to give up" she snaps her fingers and appeared ruby necklace in front of us "just break this necklace and you will be sent back outside of the room, now shall we all start the trial" she snaps her fingers again and I was sent back to my old school.

Let see her powers doesn't mean inflicting physical pain to people but emotional and mental pain through the traumatizing memory of that person. She creates an illusion of that memory but there is a hidden item that doesn't belong in the memory, if I find that hidden item then I can get out of here.

I put on the necklace on my neck and started to walk around my old school. So, it's this huh, sweet potatoes why does it have to be this memory. This is just an illusion, an illusion. I walk around the hallway of the school and I look outside the window and it is the exact replica of the front of my school. A sari-sari store in front, trycle lined up and a local seven-eleven. I'm impressed on how she got this so accurate.

I continued on walking and at the end of the hallway, there is a single door with the section name dignity. Oh, Sweet cheese, I opened the door while shaking my hand. The room is empty, no one is inside the room and I step inside the classroom. Okay, okay, I'm fine, nothing is gonna happen to me, calm down.

I heard the door closed behind me and I look back to see her standing in front of the door looking at me with a sweet look in her eyes. NO, NO, NO, NOT THIS ANYTHING BUT THIS. She approaches me while smiling very sweetly on her face, I want to run but I can't, my body is frozen, my mind is saying run but my body didn't listen to it.

"Hello, Mr. Santianze" she in a sweet tone while walking to the teachers table but I didn't dare speak "go ahead and sit down" she gestured the chair in front of me. I didn't want to sit down but my body feels like it has a minded of its own and I sat down on the desk in front of her.

She took out papers under the table and handed them to me "you have thirty minutes to finish that test" she said to me and went back to the teachers table and watch me. I stared at the test paper in front of me "what's wrong Mr. Santianze? Do you feel sick?" she said to me and approach me.

She put my chin up and look at me and smiles, as she tries to move her head closer to mine, I jump of my seat and back away from her. She approaches me again and pined me to the wall, I tried to push her away but she hold up both of my hands I tried to struggle and she proceeded to unbuttoned her blouse "you don't need to be afraid, Mr. Santianze, your a man right?" she said to me while having a wicked smile on her face.

My body is shaking in fear, so much. I heard muttered voice outside I yelled out help as loud as I could but she covered my voice with her other and look at me with the eyes keep quiet or your dead and heard my friends voice outside "Hiraya pre? You, okay?" he said outside of the door.

I bit her hand and she groans in pain then I felt that her hands loosen a bit and with that I shake her hands off of mine and yelled out help again while running towards the door my friend opened the door. I rush towards him hugging him in fear my other friend yelled out to the other teachers. "pre, you okay?" he asked me but I didn't answered and cried. I can still feel amount of fear and disgust on myself even if it had happened 3 years ago, this moment in my life that I just want to erase.

The other teachers hold her down as he tries to escape some called the police. I can hear other people voices whispering around me. Stop, stop, please just stop. "BUWIST WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP" I heard one of my friends yelled out and everyone stop talking. I look up to my friend and saw that him having a worried look on his face I just kept of crying. I few minutes later the police came and escorted the teacher inside the police car, I was just watching them from the window of the classroom.

My friends didn't leave me and stayed inside the classroom, they didn't ask anything they were just their I looked at them and they all have a worried look on their faces each and everyone of them "pre, we won't ask anything if you don't want to talk about it" one them said and patted my head "oo pre, we're just gonna stay with you until tita and tito come" he sat next to me and handed my an oreo that was already opened "takaw mo pre, if you're going to give him the oreo why did you already eat one?" "I haven't eaten anything on much today okay" "where your money pre?" "I'm gonna use it for the computer shop later" "ayun, that's why you have low grades" "like your any better".

I laughed at both of them and smiled "thanks mga pre, even if you all are idiots your always there for me" I said to them "I'm gonna ignore the insult, your part of the crew pre" "yea, if someone mess with you, will back you up" "that's right" "thanks mga pre" I smiled at all of them the I noticed one of them wearing a red beaded bracelet "pre can I see that bracelet of yours" I asked him "why" "cause its pretty" I answered him.

He had a suspension look on me but neither the less he gave it to me "thanks pre" I grab the bracelet and break it apart making the beats fell to the ground. In an instant I'm back on the room "your back pretty quickly" I heard the little girl voice again in front of me, she's staring at me deeply with her red eyes.

I wipe the tears of my face and stood up "am I the fist one back here?" I asked "no your the third actually, the two others already went to the next room" she answered "I see" I said to her and took out a tiny stuff bear out of my pocket and gave it to her "what's this?" she asked in confusion "a friend, so that you won't get lonely here" I answered and but the bear next to her "its ugly" she pick up the bear and look at it "but I'm keeping it thank mortal" she said to me with a slight smile on her face "your welcome, May I know who are the two person that go in the next room" I said to her "the little prince and a guy with golden hair" she answered while playing with the bear.

"Thank you I'll get going now" I said to her "bye miracle" I added "wait" she said to me "how do you know my name" She asked me while floating in front me "a friend told me" I answered "who?" she asked "secret, if you want to know do you wanna create a deal with me? I said and smiled "a deal, what kind of deal" she asked "a guardian contact" I said to him "a contact? A Guardian like me cannot accompany you in your battles, we guardians cannot leave this place" she crossed her arms "I didn't say that you should accompany me, and there is away for you to get in out of this place" I smiled at her "how so?" she look interested in my offer "you see that bear that I gave you, I put a soul stone in it" I said to her "A SOUL STONE?! How did you get a powerful stone like that?" she said to me "I pick it up" I answered her.

That was a lie I bought it from the system. It cost 100 points to get my hands on it. Bruh, this stone better work or I bought it for nothing. "You pick it up? That's an obvious lie" she said "fine, the truth is it was given to me" I answered her "who?" she started at me waiting for my answer "my father, gave it to me" I answered her "who would give such a powerful stone to a mortal like your father?" she asked me "Jyhun would". As soon I answered her question, she grabs me by the neck and raise me up making my feet no longer touch the ground.

"Calm down" I felt her hand tighten around my neck "where?" her red eyes stared at me with anger "I met him a long time ago, I don't know if his still around, he's your brother right?" I said to her "where?" she tightens her hand again. I cough, my breath is slowly stopping. "Forest.... Death" I said to her and she let go of my neck making be fell to the ground. I gathered as much air as I could.

She started to rip the bear open and there she holds in her hand is the soul stone in her hand. "I'll form a contract with you but under one condition, give me my brother back" she said to me with serious look on her face "I will" I look at her and smiled "but if you fail, I will be taking your own soul" she said to me and I smirk at her "I will give you our brother back" I said to her and smiled. She snaps her fingers, the soul stone started to glow and I felt a terrible pain in my right eye, after a few seconds.

"The soul stone is in you which is containing half of my soul, just say my name and I will help you" she said to me "your real name?" I asked "my angel name" she answered "alright then" I got up and just as I was gonna go up the stairs to go to the other room but I stop cause she said "and don't even think of fooling me because I can see what your doing" and pointed on her right eye. I kept on walking up stairs and walk into a hallway.

I'm sorry I gave you such a hard past, Mirh. I kept on walking until I found the second room. Right in front of me is a door with a large rose carving on the door. I opened it up and there I saw a woman that even the word beauty can't be a perfect fit to describe her. There's no doubt it this is Rozet.
