The Devil WithInn 11 What Happens When You Die After Dying 1

Multiple faint eerie voices entered Inna's mind.

"Ch.....ild....Wa...ke...up."

Those voices held a tinge of desperation.

"WAKE UP!"

Inna's eye shot open. Her blurry vision met with the sight of a damp stone floor.

The sound of a pair of footsteps echoed throughout the dark stony hallways as Inna tried to recover her senses.

W-what happened? Where am I?

'You shall be imprisoned'

She remembered those words from the man on the throne. After his statement, the Reapers beside her once again tightly grasped her arms and suddenly, her whole world turned black.

Well, that's all she remembered so far.

She must've been pa.s.sed out when they dragged her here.

She tried raising her head ever so slightly to look around. But the small action made the Reapers stiffen, stopping their footsteps.

"Is she awake?" The Reaper on her left said, his deep gruff voice held a hint of panic.

"Impossible." The Reaper on the right said, his voice light yet filled with confidence. "The King has personally used his divine power on sealing this soul until she arrives to the deep dungeon."

"I felt her move." The left Reaper grumbled, not believing. "Why don't we report it to the King?"

"She must've moved because we're carrying her." The right Reaper sighed in irritation. "Stop being so paranoid! We've made too much mistakes this time! We shouldn't bother his Excellency anymore. This is the 1000th soul so he's taking a break for now."

After knowing that one move will lead her to that 'King' again, she behaved herself.

From raising her head slightly before, she was disappointed to see that all she saw was dark stone walls and a dark hallway. She couldn't do anything anyways, so she just let them drag her away for the meantime.

But after a few moments, she felt pain in her head. When the pain disappeared, eerie whispers echoed inside her head. The whispers consisted of different kinds of voices; a child, a man, a woman, and elderly but they were combined in once voice in a very creepy way.

"Escape... escape..." It demanded.

This made Inna confused.

Huh? Where is this voice coming from?

"Hurry....hurry.... Go... right...."

Right? I saw no pathways except going straight!

"Hurry... right...."

Is this thing friggin' blind? Does it want me to crash into a wall?

"Hurry... to.... the....wall...."

Wait, don't tell me it expects me to pa.s.s through it Harry Potter-style? I am not a wizard!

"Hurry... Hurry..."

Besides, how the h.e.l.l am I going to escape? These two Reapers are holding me!

"I'll.... hold.... them back... you go.....NOW!" The whispers demanded again and she felt her body bring out a surge of energy. Suddenly, the hold on both her arms weakened, enough for her to shake them off to escape. She immediately ran and didn't even look back as she went towards the wall to the right.

I'm dead anyways, so I wouldn't die from colliding myself to the wall, right?

She clenched her eyes and ran with her arms protecting her head.

Let's do this Harry Potter s.h.i.t!

She ran and ran until she felt like she's pa.s.sing through a thick wall of jelly. She pushed through it and when she opened her eyes, she saw a straight pa.s.sageway filled with white floating wisp-like things that lit up the whole path.

She walked slowly, trying to absorb what just happened.

Holy s.h.i.t! I actually did it! I mean, wow, dis is some Harry Potter feels right here. Wow.

She kept walking forward as she tried to make sense with what just happened.

Okay, so i escaped. So, what now? Am i supposed to just follow this path?

She waited for an answer but she met with silence. She decided to just keep walking while waiting until the path finally ends. When she saw something shining in the far distance, she felt relieved.

She thought there's no end to this path but it seems there is after all!

She walked faster, giddy to know what's at the end.

But a few moments after, she decided to do a full sprint!

Because she actually heard loud voices from the path behind her!

And those voices were catching up to her really really fast!

After sprinting like her life depended on it, she finally stopped at a dead end.

At the end of the path wasn't the light of the outside but actually a door!

It was a white marble double door with golden linings and design of vines. It reminded her of the design in the hall she was at before. It looked so out of place with the stone walls and dark aura.

Feeling that something wasn't right, she looked back and in the distance, saw two pairs of yellow dots looking straight at her.

f.u.c.k a duck with a truck! This is bad!

She desperately banged her shoulder on the doors multiple times, trying to do those moves from action movies that instantly opens doors. But it was useless, it didn't even budge a single inch!

When she began to feel tired from the banging, she looked back and forth, from those yellow eyes drawing closer to the white door, at a loss of what to do.

Suddenly, her head ached again, and the multiple voices once again entered her mind.

"The door..... is already.... open...."

Inna's face held a ton of disbelief.

She banged that hard a.s.s door for a thousand times and it just said this now?!

Feeling a bit furious, she grasp both golden handles of the doors, and harshly turned it.

Indeed, it easily opened.

Going inside the room, she saw a magnificent sight.

It was a really huge indoor pool!

The pool's floor was made of white marble as well as the walls and ceiling. There was a huge white floating light in the middle of the pool and nothing else seems to be there except the vast amount of water. It reminded her of an infinity pool. The pool's water is also very peculiar. The water is transparent but it glows under the light. And even though it is still, it sparkles more brightly than stars at night.

She was so absorbed by the beauty of the water that she didn't notice a dark shadow at the far corner of the pool. Well, it didn't make any move nor sound so it can easily be missed, unless one went near.

She was about to sink her feet in when she heard deafening screams.

She panicked because she knew the Reapers have caught up. In fact, they were already about a few hundred meters away.

She looked around, trying to circle the whole room, looking for an exit.

But just as she was about to notice the black shadow by the distance, she was distracted by a scream,

"The King!"

She can feel her body turn cold from that scream.

Is he here? Did he come to take her away? Where can she hide now?

She looked around while incessantly cursing herself and everything else she can think of. Looking by the doors, she saw that the Reapers were by the entrance already, their narrowed eyes filled with anger. Panicked, she looked at the pool, and suddenly, she had a crazy idea.

She didn't need to breathe since she's dead, right?

She was at the farthest and most inconspicuous part of the pool which was perfect. So without any hesitation, she prepared to dive into the pool, planning to hide there. But just as her body was about to come into contact with the water, she looked to the side and saw a man, loosely dressed in black robes, his pale but sculpted chest peeking through. His eyes were closed and his beautiful face was serene like he was dead to the world.

But what startled her most was the familiar face he had.

The King?
