Not long after from a distance a little boy with long dark hair and white robes waiting for them, the boy looks pale so contrast with his small red lips, the little boy smiles childishly when he saw Lory and Lorenna run toward him.

"Is it her?" the boy tilted her head.

​​

"Yes, take care of her, she is the only one who can fulfill your wish," said Lorenna.

The little boy who has a face like an Asian porcelain doll that Lory used to saw in the antique stores staring at Lory for a few seconds before he averts his gaze, who knows what he's thinking, While Lory can't comprehend the conversation between her mother and the boy however she has a bad premonition.

Lory tightens her grip on her mother's hand "Mother, what do you mean, are you not coming with me?" Lory's lips tremble as her eyes become moist, she doesn't want to be apart from her parents again "Please, please, I'm begging you don't leave me, I don't wanna be alone anymore, I don't…"

"But you're not" Lorenna hugged her, her heart aching when she hears her daughter beg her helplessly "Sweetheart you never be alone, I will always be with you and so is your Father, we never left you, we are watching you, always and forever" she wipe lory tears with her thumbs gently, it's breaking her heart watching her daughter scared if only she could replace her, but she can't she knew it all along, this was predestined even before they were born and this is the only thing she can do for them.

Lorenna made a gamble with a destiny she doesn't know whether she will win or lose but she bet everything for her cards, even her life so the two of them could live.

"My Lory, my sweet-sweet Lory, I need you to be brave, I want you to be strong, remember what your father taught you, remember how much I love you, how much I love both of you…you and Lucas, I have to make resolution from a long time ago that I will safe both of you, no matter what it takes…I will make sure both of you save and sounds or my soul will never rest" Lorenna sobbed but not for her, she wept for the cruel fates of her children.

"Mother…" Lory cries like a little girl.

Suddenly they hear a thunderous roar from distance, gradually the sounds increasing, Lorenna frown as she becomes anxious. She pushes Lory to the boy's side "GO, NOW!" she shouted.

The boy grabs Lory's hand then he dragged her away, The boy is so small he not even taller than her waist but why is he so strong, Lory has no power against him, she can only scream at Lorenna "No, Mother! Mother don't leave me! PLEASE!"

Lorenna bitterly smiles "Goodbye, my dear Princess"

The sounds of crashing and roaring are getting louder, Lazarus must fight tooth and nail to claim her daughter's souls but how could that demon think he could win? how could he win against parents who fought desperately for their child's life, impossible!

Lorenna opens up her palm then blue light suddenly appears from the ground at the same time bluebell flower emerged from the ground as if it's alive the flower stemmed rise higher into the air when the bluebell flower stemmed touch her hand the blue light shine brighter and the stemmed transform into a silver glave. Lorenna smirk as she clenched the glave. There's no fear in her eyes only excitement.

From the darkness suddenly Lazarus fang attacks her head, swiftly she used her glave to block the attack. the silver glave blocked Lazarus fang before it crushes her heads, the snake fang only a few inches from her face but Lorenna didn't quiver.

she gives the snake strong kick in his belly, she used the glave to boost herself on the air then she make a graceful somersault and land gently on the side.

"It seems your reputation is overrated" she chuckles lightly as she ready her glave in a strike position.

Then another white light hit the snake' head, Lazarus once again forces to dodged, he let out frustration roar. Marcus landed in front of his wife in a protective manner "Is she safe?" he asks in a low voice.

Lorenna smiles "She will be"

Meanwhile, the little boy who dragging Lory finally stop, Lory shove her hand away from the boy, she can't let her mother and father fight for her. She needs to come back!

"If you go back there be no hope for your parents!"

Lory pace was halted, Lory turns her head around "What do you mean, who are you?"

"I live here," said the boy casually "This is the land between the living and the death, some people called it netherworld, some called it limbo but me…I like to call it oblivion, catchy isn't it?" he smiles proudly.

"Oblivion…." She never heard it before "Then my parents….why are my parents here, what happening to them?" she questioning the boy impatiently.

"They are dead of course" he shrugged nonchalantly.

Lory glare at him, even her parents dead he should not rub it on her face, is no one teaching this kid then suddenly something dawn on her "Wait, this place…why my parents is here?"

The little boy didn't care what Lory think, his concentration is absorbed to somewhere else, the boy looks around him with frown expression as if he was searching something, but everything is dark so Lory has no clue what this strange boy looking for, The boy patted the air with a serious face.

"Hey!" Lory tries to attract the boy's attention. she has so many questions for that boy.

The boy looks at her with an annoying expression as he purses his lips to warned her to shut up. But Lory doesn't care, she needs to know what happened to her parents. lory determination make him yield, finally, the boy sigh heavily "Your parents used a spell to cursed themselves, don't you hear what your mother said, her soul will not rest until you and your brother safe and sound"

"What, what's that supposed to mean?" Lory flabbergast.

"It means they will never move to the heaven as long as both of you, especially you still under Lazarus threat" the boy shakes his head helplessly "You…no, your whole family is crazy" he rolled his eyes while his hand still patted the empty air aimlessly just like mime artist on the street, a few minutes later his hand suddenly paused.

"Finally!" he exclaimed, "Is not easy to find the right door" he sighs in relief.

"What are you doing?"

The boy raised his index finger then slowly he moves his finger down, something beyond believes happened, the boy little index finger is torn the empty air, a straight light appear out of nowhere, The boy make a gesture with his hand "Get in!" he casually said.

'IN THERE?' Lory froze, she looks back at the boy with wide eyes as if he was crazy, I'm not going in there!" she refused.

"Really?" the boy narrows his eyes "Your parents sacrifice everything for this, do you want to put their painstaking effort went down the drain?" he scoffed.

"I…." Lory didn't know if she could trust the boy but her mother did, Lory trusts her mother would not make the wrong judgment.

"Okay" Lory nod nervously. Lory approaches the light nervously on the contrary the boy was indifferent.

the boy clapped his hand abruptly "Oh yes, I never send a human before so there probably a side effect, don't worry perhaps it's only messed up with your age, you might only get younger…or older" he raised his eyebrows seemingly joking but he make Lory more scared.

"Wait, what the…."

"Oh, and don't forget to save him when you meet him!" the boy reminds her casually while pushing her back into the light.

"Wait a minute, I don't understand, who…?" Lory tries to hold on but the boy is extremely strong.

He ignores her "You knew when you see him, just follow her sign" he grinned.

Lory stomp her feet to the ground as she tries to stop him from pushing her "Wait, who is him? What sign?"

The boy ignores her question again then right in front of the light he gives Lory strong push "Off you go!~"

Lory screams in fright as she was pushed into the light and everything around her become overly bright, she is unable to open her eyes so she doesn't know where she is but one thing she sure that she was pulled by strong gravity as she was falling and falling with no end.

'Is that boy trying to kill her?' That what's coming to lory head while she was falling. Lory cursed that hateful boy hundreds of times in her head but then she heard his faint voice from a distance.

"Find him, he is the key!"
