Devil Diaries
Chapter 1
•ꕤ ..People often say the world is a bizarre place full of mysteries..
My aunt used to say that dreams are the manifestation of our beautiful thoughts...
•ꕤ•In an unknown place that blurs the rationality between dream and reality...
...Like the depth of the ocean, the harrowing whispers from the darkness...
—Iri...sella...Irisella...—
•They try to steal you, possess you and whisper something you'll never remember yet, want to chase after.•
⟨Like a painful grip lurching at my throat⟩
•They never cease to call you, to deliver their message to you.•
Edith Jayson
What's wrong, sweetheart? «worried»
ꕤ•My entire body convulsed up upon jolting awake in the sofa where I had fallen asleep in the afternoon while reading textbooks.ꕤ•
Irisella Aizen
Ahh...Ahhh..Ahhh...
ꕤ•It wasn't a one time thing. It would come in the form of small but frequent seizures.•
•After so long, it happened again...•
•ꕤ•For what I know, I can't differentiate between dreams and reality...
...Which set me apart from others.•ꕤ•
• Edith, full of worry, consoles Irisella who was feeling disoriented upon waking up from her nap.
Edith Jayson
Irisé, sweetheart, your uncle said we should see the psychiatrist since you are facing troubles regularly...
Edith Jayson
I'm worried, honey...
Edith Jayson
Are you listening?
Irisella Aizen
Auntie.......This...time too I didn't understand what they said...
«Deep breathing»
⟨.......Just what is happening to me?....⟩
Edith Jayson
Forget about those unfortunate things, dear... We'll find a way...just like before.. If necessary, we'll find the best doctor possible..
Edith Jayson
Stay hopeful...Your uncle and I are here for you.. «Anxious»
Chapter 2
•ꕤ•It all started since a year ago, I started hearing whispers in my head.
I'd get scared of staying alone in my room as if someone was walking in my room..
Someone I couldn't see was under my bed.
Even I'd feel like I'm being watched but, when I would turn to look every time...
My sleeping hours started decreasing for which I found myself constantly irritated.
Sometimes, I could sleep but in the morning, I would find small drops of blood under my bed, in the corners of the room.
It could have been a cat killing a mouse?
The truth was quite the opposite. We had no cats in the house. There was no menace of mice either.
I used to see shadows from afar gazing into my soul.
I never believe in shamans though I yielded once to my auntie's pleas when nothing worked for me.
Edith Jayson
Irisé...This is the shaman I talked about..
Shaman
Always wear this. Never take it off.
Your problem will soon disappear, child. Have faith in God.
When no Medicine could help my problem.•ꕤ•
•ꕤ•However, this problem has significantly decreased over the past few months thanks to the psychiatrist uncle found this time.
I can finally sleep in peace.•ꕤ•
Edith Jayson
Irisé honey, have another toast.
Irisella Aizen
No, aunt. I'm nearly full.
•ꕤ•This is my precious auntie, Edith Jayson who doted on me since I was a child.
Hector Jayson
Irisella, my niece, you should take care of yourself from now. High school is starting soon. We got you seats in the hostel alongside Pariya.
And my amazing uncle, Hector Jayson. They love me a lot like their daughter Pariya.
Irisella Aizen
Thank you, uncle.
•With a slight snicker, Pariya spoke up slowly biting into the bread that she personally spread butter unto:
Pariya Jayson
Here I thought, you went nuts again, Irisella.
Irisella couldn't but help sigh.
Irisella Aizen
Erhmm.. I'm fine now.
•Pariya was somewhat irritated at being unable to rile her up. But, before she could retort, Edith looked at Irisella:
Edith Jayson
Will you be fine living outside like that? I can't help but worry about you.
Pariya Jayson
She's not a baby, mom.
Hector Jayson
No matter how big children are, parents get worried.«Smile»
But, I hope you won't have any difficulty there, my niece. Do call us if you are feeling uneasy.
Irisella Aizen
Alright. «Smiles»
•Pariya puffed biting in the bread.•
Pariya Jayson
Just whose parents are you? «Mumble»
•ꕤ•I knew Pariya wasn't an easy character however, she has always been near me. She's not that bad at heart.
My dad passed away due to illness many years ago. My mom's condition isn't good.
She can't recognise me to begin with due to her amnesia from a car accident. She's pretty much hospital bound.
My uncle's family took me in and raised me ever since. Sometimes I wonder if I'm burdening them..•ꕤ•
•ꕤ•But what would I do without them?•ꕤ•
Pariya Jayson
Hey!! Come in, hurry!!
•Irisella quickly followed her in the bullet train. Summer break had come to an end.
•ꕤ•Soon our stop came. We both go to different schools.
Pariya studies at Gyeongdong high while I go to Yongsan high. Our hostels were nearby our respective school buildings.
•ꕤ•In fact, we had to head there 2 days prior.•ꕤ•
Pariya Jayson
📞You alright there? My room's nice. Send a picture over.
Pariya would call me in the evening to see if I was able to adjust to my circumstances or not.
Irisella Aizen
📞My room's pretty decent too. It's on the 3rd floor.
• Irisella was walking inside her room no. 308 to take a good photo in a nice angle before she sent it.
Pariya Jayson
📞 I'm envious now. Dad really got you a nice room for a scaredycat. Here I don't have the luxury of having a room all to myself. I have roommates which you lack.
Irisella Aizen
📞 Uhh..«Flinch» No way, Pariya...? I'm alone?
Pariya Jayson
📞 Yeah. I heard they don't support house mating. Relax there. If you feel cramped, just call me—
•The chatter was heard from Pariya's background.•
Pariya Jayson
📞 Talk to you later. My friends' are annoying..me. «Hung up»
Chapter 3
•ꕤ•For the past week, Irisella took her time adapting to the hostel while going to school.
Things weren't out of the ordinary thankfully.
Sometimes, I'd see some shadows in the distant staring at me. They'd disappear as soon as I go near them.
I thought I was overthinking. I thought to myself about taking my medicine seriously.•ꕤ•
•Nevertheless, the feeling of unknown dread was gnawing at Irisella's heart for some reason.•
Irisella Aizen
Strange. I lost weight again. «Taking medicine»
•She took out the notebook from her school bag before sorting the books out for tomorrow.•
Irisella Aizen
Tonight, it seems like the clock isn't moving fast.
Irisella Aizen
Ugh....I'm sleepy......«Getting up for bed»
•ꕤ•When she sat on bed, slowly dozing, the surrounding of the room slowly darkened..
While doing so, the amulet gets ripped off from her wrist.•ꕤ•
-⟨Another peaceful night⟩–
•ꕤ•That peace wasn't granted forever as a wave of repungent scent washed over Irisella's nose.
Causing her guts to churn. Yet, she couldn't move her body despite feeling a heavy presence over her body.
Whispers filled her ears making her awake fully.
But when she looked, her whole body froze...
•A horse faced monster with decaying body with revolving 3 red eyes was staring into her soul.•
•Its mouth making bone crushing sounds.•
Irisella Aizen
Mmmph!!!!!! [AAAAAA!!!!!] «Can't scream»
•ꕤ•Multiple Glistening red eyes, emerging from the darkness towards her, with trails of blood with long claws.ꕤ•
—Take the hand, Irisella—
Irisella Aizen
Mmmph!!Ugh!!Mmmph!!!!!! [HELP!!HELP!!!!!!!]
•ꕤ•Despite the struggles, when I thought I'd die seeing the amulet far from me on the floor..
Irisella Aizen
[T-The amulet!! It was it all along!! Protecting me!! I'm so stupid!!Why didn't I notice!?]
GOD!!!!!! «Gasp» Save me!! «cry»
The paralysis I had vanished when I called God's name, I was able to speak.•ꕤ•
• Soon, those creatures dispersed suddenly flinching at the sight of something....
•ꕤ•When I peered over in the direction, what awaited me was a shadowy countenance looming outside the window...
With its malevolent eyes darting at my body..
•As humangous it was compared to Irisella's size that made her appear feeble to itself.
As if it could gulp her down in one go.•
•ꕤ•When I thought I was saved, yet, another danger awaited me in a colossal form.•ꕤ•
