The Search for Freedom

As time elapsed that I'm always with Alicia, I was maybe influenced by her ways of doing anything. I seemed to laugh like a demon too. I didn't care about anything else anymore. Even my conscience became tired of telling me what was right and

wrong.

As usual, Alicia offered the spirit of the girl to her master. I didn't know how she did it, because she was just a normal spirit who could not touch a human when her power wouldn't work. Maybe she could still talk to her master, or maybe her power worked again?

After a few moments, she stood up and asked, "We're done with what we needed to do in this place, so let's go to the other place where the next person would be."

"No more words, bring me now to the fifth person, so that we can't waste our time doing anything else," I replied.

Alicia said, "You're right, we have been wasting our time strolling like there were no curses in us, but you have even killed ten out of a hundred people who were destined to fight you."

"I know that, but don't make me feel like everything was all my mistake, because we both did the thing and you were the one who told me to stop for a while, though I wasn't tired."

"Don't blame me, because my power wasn't working and that was why I stopped you from attacking your enemy, because I could not help you," Alicia explained.

"Wow, you're so helpful, but don't you ever think you're just delaying our freedom because you didn't trust me that I could kill those people without your help?" I asked.

Alicia sighed and replied, "I want to trust you, but I don't want to see you hurt by those people, because I could also feel pain."

"What did you eat that you're so kind to me?" I queried.

"I did not eat anything, and I didn't think that I care about anything else. I just didn't want someone to hurt you, because if you die, I cannot be free from this curse anymore," Alicia replied. "Whahaha, you're really crazy, but I like that kind of demon."

"You looked forced to say that. If you are disappointed because of my words, then you must be strong and not become sad or lose hope. We both have reasons why we are doing these things, reasons that forced us to do something," Alicia added.

"Stop!" I interjected. "Stop talking because you're just wasting our time that must be spent on killing those hundred people."

"Don't be hasty, dear. Try to hold my arm so that we'll know if my power had came back. I will bring you to the place where the fifth person is."

I followed Alicia's order, and I was surprised that, in a heartbeat, she brought me to another place. Her power was back! She brought me to a place where the fifth person who was destined to fight me was. I didn't had any idea about that person, but I'm sure, Alicia did, because she was the one who had been searching for that person.

"Your fifth enemy has the power of the guitar. He's a boy who can change papers into everything he wants through sounds," Alicia informed me. "You are brave and clever, and maybe you already know what to do in order to defeat him?" A boy who could change papers into everything he wanted through using sounds from a guitar? Maybe that boy was powerful, like the fan girl. The same as with that girl, I thought I could easily defeat him because there was only one way to defeat him: to take his guitar, and he would become weak.

I was lucky that I hadn't forgotten to take the powerful fan, which was the source of the power of the dead fan girl. Maybe I could use this fan to defeat the guitar boy. I hoped so.

"If the guitar boy lives here, then where is he?" I asked.

"He's inside that mansion." Alicia pointed an index to the big and old mansion which seemed to be hunted. The guitar boy, maybe he was wealthy. There was only one thing to know what kind of boy he was, and that was to see him with my own eyes.

There were few houses and people in this place; all houses were huge and all people were weird, but it favored me because nobody would join our quarrel or would help the enemy.

"Alice, do you think there are many people inside that mansion?" I asked.

"I don't know, have you forgotten there's something used to tell you about anything you wanted to know? The power of your vision. Why won't you use that to know if there are many people in that mansion?" Alicia responded. "You're right. I had just forgotten that I had the power of vision."

I wondered why I needed to know how many people were inside that mansion if Alicia could drop down even a battalion. Meanwhile, I also thought I needed to plan and do things on my own so that someday I wouldn't need Alicia's help because I could help myself and complete my mission without her. Especially since sometimes her power wouldn't work; that would be a big hassle and delay.

Consequently, I asked the power of vision to show me what was inside the mansion and also to let me know how many people were there. It seemed that I was going to kick many people, because I saw a lot of people inside. There were some guards, servants, maids, and many others. It was absolutely an ordeal that I needed to drop those people before I could reach the guitar boy.

I would be trying my best to defeat the guitar boy without asking Alicia's help. I'm sure she wouldn't underestimate me and she would never order me to do anything for her own interest only. If she thought that I'm so weak, then she would be disappointed, because the time would come that I'd be the most powerful person in this world, I would throw her in hell, the place where she belonged.
