When A Ghoul Falls In Love - Volume 1 Chapter 142

MaisielTheAngel: Millie, she didn’t have unsafe s.e.x. Their baby is the rarest chance that rarely happens.

Millions: I see…

Nickofthetime: I will look for Killian tomorrow.

Solo_Nell: Leave him alone. He is dangerous.

MaisielTheAngel: He is about our age. It’s not like he is from the mafia.

Solo_Nell: he is worse

MaisielTheAngel: what are you hiding? Did that bastard say something to you?

Solo_Nell: I can’t tell, but my mother knows. Can anyone go and ask her?

MaisielTheAngel: do you want us to die?

Nickofthetime: I can’t even stop stammering in front of her.

JustAbby: Spare us. Your mother is scarier than mine

JustSammy: Why can’t you tell us?

Solo_Nell: there is such a situation… Then, can someone keep a watch on her? I want to know if she leaves the house and meets someone… Especially, someone who seems shady.

NoLiverTwist: I can do that after school.

MaisielTheAngel: I will skip school and keep an eye on your house.

NoLiverTwist: I will also skip school, but how long do we have to do this?

Solo_Nell: Until we find my father or she stops harassing me to get an abortion?

Millions: We have to wait for 3-4 weeks. Abortion is illegal after six weeks.

JustAbby: my sister and I can’t miss school. Our parents will kill us.

JustSammy: we will keep watch on Killian and Evie.

Nickofthetime: what did Evie do?

JustSammy: she saw Killian and Nell but she did nothing to help Nell. She even accused Nell of sleeping with Killian.

JustAbby: She even posted those pictures on the forum from an anonymous account.

JustSammy: We have reported it. It will be taken down.

JustAbby: but many students have those pictures.

MaisielTheAngel: I will talk to Evie tomorrow.

Solo_Nell: I will think of something. Meanwhile, don’t leave the house unless it’s an absolute necessity, especially after sunset. Don’t leave the house alone, and if someone asks for your permission to enter your house, never say yes. Avoid the fog.

MaisielTheAngel: you are being cryptic…

Nickofthetime: and scary…

JustAbby: Is Killian a vampire?

JustSammy: Nell is too worried about us.

TreasureRain: just listen to her.

NoLiverTwist: okay, I will follow your instructions, Nell. You are like my big sister.

MaisielTheAngel: How are we supposed to follow her mother if we can’t leave the house after sunset?

***

Baek Joon Woo calls me.

[Your plans won’t work.] His voice is clear. [We need to do something else.]

“What should we do?” I inquire gravely. “Mom said that she could get rid of our baby even if I didn’t go to the hospital. I am afraid that she knows a shady method. I am sure that she can’t do it alone.”

[I will meet her tomorrow.]

“It’s useless.” I sigh. “She won’t change her mind.”

[I have to try. If nothing works, I will bring my parents. If she still doesn’t listen then…]

“Then?”

[I don’t know…]

“Don’t do anything reckless.” I raise my voice. “Killian is already our enemy.”

[The problem is that we don’t know about –]

His voice breaks.

[Nell –]

“Joon Woo?”

The call is hung up.

What was that about? I try to call him again, but a mechanical voice answers me.

The call can’t be connected.

I hear the sound of rustling, a familiar whisper in the air. I grip my phone hard.

How is the wind coming into the room when the window is closed?

“Nell.” The voice belongs to Baek Joon Woo. “Open the window. I came here to meet you.”

My mother’s words ring in my head. Baek Joon Woo was talking to me a moment ago. How can he come here so soon? I already told him to not leave the house after sunset.

“Nell?”

“If it’s you, Killian, I am not opening the window.” I cross my arms.

There is silence for a long moment.

“Nell, you are smarter than I expected.” He lets out a low chuckle. “I am sure that you know: I can’t enter your house if someone from your family doesn’t give me permission.”

My mother won’t give him any permission. As for my stepfather, I am sure that my mother will warn him.

“If you let me in, I will forgive you.” Killian says arrogantly, “You can leave this world with me now. It’s a chance, Nell, to save everyone you love. You have to open the window and come with me. I am a fae. I promise you that I will make the queen of my court. You will rule with me, even if you have already lost your purity to someone else.”

This guy is crazy!

“It’s because I am fascinated by you.” He speaks casually, “I will forget everything that you did and start a new life together. I need you, Nell.”

“I love Baek Joon Woo!” I exclaim. “I will only love him. I will rather die than love someone else. Just leave me alone. I don’t want to be with you!”

And his presence is gone.

The air also becomes lighter.

I sit down on the bed. This won’t do. I need to do research on the fae folks.

I turn on my laptop and start browsing about faeries.

After three hours, I barely have useful information on the faeries.

Are they supposed to hate iron? How did Killian waltz through the school with iron gates and all?

Conclusion: faeries don’t hate iron.

Logically, iron comes from nature. Why would they hate something that comes from nature? Many mountains have iron ores. This is completely wrong.

The thing about the deal seems to be true.

It seems that the moon plays an important role in the lives of the fae folks.

The fae folks are most active on the night of no moon.

The full moon was two weeks ago. Then, today is the night of no moon. Are we safe tomorrow?

It’s hard to tell.

The fae folks don’t like to be in debts. They take insults quite personally.

There are Seelie and Unseelie. Each of them has four courts that represent four seasons: summer, autumn, winter, and spring.

Seelie fae folks are usually portrayed as good in the books and poems, but that’s not necessarily true.

The fae folks who don’t belong to any court are wildings.

The more I read, the more confusing it is.

Is Killian Unseelie, Seelie, or a wilding?

It doesn’t matter. He is an enemy.

I type in the search bar: how to kill a fae?
