Naiah's POV
"Sin? Kanner?" I asked in disbelief. They are both blindfolded, arms tied up at their back. They are also kneeling at the ground. What's even confusing is, they don't have any bruises or wounds. Their clothes are clean as if nothing has happened to them.
I looked up to see Quenda, smiling innocently.
"What did you do? Why are you doing this?" instead of stating my observation, I asked her. She then laughs out of nowhere that causing me to furrow my brows.
"What?" she asked, still laughing her ass out. I looked at D who held my bandaged hand.
"Stay here" confused as to where and what will he do, I nodded my head. I focused my attention on Quenda who's still laughing. What's even funny?!
"Uhm, let's say, it's for fun?" I clicked my tongue at what I heard. Fun? This kind of situation is fun for her?! Unbelievable!
"This is absurd!" I exclaimed. Sh
Third Person's POVA meter distance from the main road, there's an alley. It was dark for the street light post were broken. But, with the help of the moon's brightness, you can have at least a light to walk through.The place is silent, the silence that can creep you out. No one was around as the place is an abandoned one. No one wants to walk around the place as it gives them an eerie feeling.Suddenly, a footstep was heard. But then again, the whole place became silent again. After some time, another footstep was heard until it continuously hit the ground whenever it takes a step. The sound of the heels whenever it takes a step, added the eerie feeling everyone can feel if you suddenly heard that kind of sound when you're alone in an alley, a dark one, per se.When that someone passes by at an open area wherein the brightness of the sun is freely lighting up the said place, a girl in red was seen.
Naiah's POVI was just staring blankly at the coffins in front of me. Who's burial it is? My Dad? Or Quenda? Or both, I don't know.It's been three days since what happened in the forest. I can't seem to accept it, but I need to. Whatever the reason is, I need to. Huh, I scoffed in my mind. That's absurd. Can I? I don't think I can. But they say, time heals your wound. Let's see if it is true."You killed my sister! You killed my sister! Ahh!!!" I saw the crazy girl through my peripheral vision. She's fuming mad and she's going to kill me too in an instant if it's not with the help of Gust and D. I rolled my eyes at that.This crazy girl seems to have a huge grudge against me the first time she laid her eyes on me. But then, she's right. But how did she know? She's not in the scene. I shrugged off the idea and just looked ahead of me."Have coffee" I looked up to see L, as she handed me a
Naiah's POV"Why do you need our DNA?" A asked, she's smiling yet I know, she's furious inside. Implanting their DNA on my data system means I can access their true identity and such. Brilliant, isn't it?I smiled at A, "Your DNA means a lot, that I know of, but..." I trailed off."I'm just being careful, and the fact that you are here at my territory, you can't just question all of my decisions. Pretty strict, right?" I lifted an eyebrow as I asked them."Now, if you plan to leave, better yet, deal with them," I said as I glanced at their back. They turn around and as soon as they see a hundred men in tuxedos lining up in ten carryings a sword at their back, they gasped as they uttered curses under their breaths. Some are carrying a gun, hanging at their shoulder.They looked at me. A, holding herself not to burst, she gritted her teeth and glared at me. Black seems cool with it as well a
Naiah's POVI let my eyes close for a while. I'm awake, but I don't want to open it."Draine, get up. I know you're awake" I rolled my eyes even if it's closed. Draine? How dare she call me by my second name? And of course, who the hell keeps on calling me Draine? None other than, Captain D, he introduces. Is that really his name?I kept my eyes closed. I did not mind his presence inside my room. "You're not getting up?" he asked, still I didn't move.After a minute of silence, I heaved a relieved sigh. Thank God. He stopped bothering me. I am getting myself asleep again when something hit my right arm, hard. I immediately open my eyes only to see the crazy girl's raging eyes."What the hell?!" I cursed and rolled on the side part of my bed when she attempted to stab me. I cursed under my breath when I couldn't move my body because of the comforter that is hugging my body, really tight. Ge
(One hour after the call...)Naiah's POVI was staring at my computer in front of me for half an hour. I stretched my neck and felt relieved when it relaxes a bit. I don't know what to do with this one. I have all their DNA's recorded on my system already but I am hesitant to even tap the enter button on my computer."This is frustrating as hell" I exclaimed as I leaned on my chair. I rested the back of my head at the headrest of the chair and heaved a sigh. I scratched my temple and stared at the screen. Now, what to do?"~Damn, damn, damn~" I sing sang. I'm really going insane because of curiosity. I want to smack my head for me to be awake. But then, I don't want to hurt myself."Geez!" one last glance at my computer, I finally tapped the 'enter' button as I can't help myself to shut my eyes off.Loading 7
Naiah's POV"What the hell is that? Who fired a gun?" I asked through my earpiece where I and my men can communicate from outside."Deera! There's someone at the door! He's armed!" I furrowed my brows and glanced at the door. It'll take that person a minute to destroy the door if he has powerful equipment."Deera?! So you are not her" I glanced at Gust and chuckled. I didn't know that the speaker is on. But then he heard it already."How so? You can never tell" I said. I sat at the chair and waited for the guy to come in and join the fun."What are you doing? You will really let that guy in?" D asked. I looked at him and pretended that I was shocked at his sudden appearance on the scene."Oh, you know how to talk? I thought someone cut your tongue" he raised a brow and looked away. Tsk."I thought maybe, he could join the fun" I shrugged my shoulder as I a
Her POVBack to school. And everything seems to go back to normal. We all go back on our own. It was as if, we never met each other.I, too, went back to my apartment. Even though Gust told me to stay and live together without making any interaction. But I declined. I can’t seem to find myself living with him under one roof after what happened. And I know, it’ll be awkward.“Sister, wait for me!” I lifted my head from reading a book when I heard a familiar voice. It’s Kanner’s voice. She’s running after her sister, Sin. I shook my head as I went back to reading. I am in the garden, my resting place.“That’s absurd” I creased my forehead when I heard another familiar voice. Is it only a coincidence? Or they really plan to go to a place where I am?“Okay, I’ll hang up?” I shook my head as I can’t fathom
Her POV“Ms. Rizonde, please take a seat,” she said after I came in.I sat on the couch in front of the Head. “Why did you call me, Ms?” I ask as soon as I take my seat. She chuckled and leaned comfortably on her seat.“You’re like your mother when she’s young as you” she stated. I creased my forehead. I came here knowing she wants to talk to me about something else. But this? Is she kidding me?I raised a brow, “You know my mother” I want to ask her why but instead I confront her.“Yes. And I know that you’re not the Naiah they know” what the hell is she saying?“What are you talking about? Are you aware that you’re already invading my privacy, Head Mistress?” I asked her sarcastically. She seems not affected by my sudden question.“You’ve gro
|Epilogue| Third Person's POV In the middle of the night where the moon illuminates the darkness all over the things that have been left out, grieving hearts scattered all over the place. Deaths. Bloods. Fights. War. A woman in red stood right in the middle of the chaos as she looked around her. She was panting and breathing hard because of the continuous fights with the enemy who strikes them a surprise attack. Men are scattered with their guns, swords, daggers, and all weapons tightly gripped by their hands ready to slaughter all the people who will block their way. The enemy has brought too many men in blacks and the group of the woman in red ere barely handling the situation. She gritted her teeth while watching her comrades trying their best to fight but she knew, they'd lost it. The war that wasn't even in the half of it, she knew their time has come to an end. And whether she
Red's POVWhen they left the place, I continue observing the place where the explosion happened. I know that they're here because there's something that they left behind."Red," D's voice pulls me out in my reverie. I felt him move and stand beside me."What is it?" I ask without looking at him.My mind is still messy. I couldn't just talk to him without my senses in the right place. There's a lot to think about right now.I don't even know where to start again. It seems like I forgot all the plans that I planned before meeting my father after long years of being apart from each other.I just want to feel that I'm still not alone in this lonely world. I wish my twin is with me and my mother is still alive watching me get all my achievements.But it's all about my empty wishes that could never happen because they are already in the other world. They left me."H-Hey!
Red's POV***"You need to go home, Red. I'm going" her dad was about to leave her but she holds the hem of his dad's hoodie."You're not leaving again, Dad. Go home with me" she said, pleading rather. But her dad just looked at her, apologetically."You don't understand, go home" he coldly said and took a step forward but a gunshot startled them, not to mention, Red was only a child. It was her first time to encounter such a situation."Damn!" Her dad cursed. He unconsciously gets his pocket knife in his pocket. As he turned around, he accidentally pointed his knife at her daughter's eyebrow causing it to bleed."Stay here, no, go back and leave this place, hurry!" Her dad shouted. He was to focus on the culprit who fired the gun he didn't notice that he hurt her daughter.I open and close my eyes as I rose from my bed. I winced in pain when I tried to move my
Red's POVDo you know the feeling when a certain person loved you so dearly but takes it away from you for no reason at all? The feeling when your day is filled with happiness and contentment only to be kept away from your hands? The feeling when you're so invested to the point you no longer have something to invest? Do you know that?I can only imagine myself, throwing him words afterwords. Giving him questions after questions. Why after what. What after how. Fuming with anger, I slash my dagger deep in his neck while my other hand loosens my grip causes him to fall, not breathing anymore, he's dead. I tightly grip the handle of my blade as I glare at the men in black scattered all around the place.I grab the collar of the man who's about to pull the trigger as he pointed it to Z. She's busy punching and kicking men in black in front of her. Wonder where her gun is right now. I shrugged and as I
Red's POVThe emotions of being alone pierced my little heart, screaming unheard voices that were kept throughout the years of being hidden.Like an abandoned place, no one seems to want to wander around the thought, what had happened before it was left without a word? What had happened to make such unreasonable reason for it to be left alone in the dark, away from the light? What had happened?Maybe that was why darkness ruled over me, it never left as they did. It was with me through thick and thin that they never even bothered to do. It was within that caused it to bloom inside me that I can never tell if I can ever lift myself from drowning in it. I can never tell.Staring at myself in front of my whole-body mirror, I can't help but be astonished as I look fine than usual. From my red hairband down to my red crop top and black tattered shorts. I'm wearing my comfortable black-red converse as I t
Red's POV"She left already?" Z asks while walking down the stairs. I nod my head and lay down on the couch and close my eyes. "And you told her the truth?" she added. I sigh and open my eyes and stared at the ceiling. "Just told her about Quenda," I said, I heard her sneered. I rolled my eyes and get up from lying on the couch. I look at Z and we both nod our heads. We went inside the kitchen. I sat at one of the chairs and watch Z go to the sink as she washed her hands. I glance at my left where the fridge is. I stood up and open it. "Where's my choco drink?" I ask Z who's busy chopping the apple fruit. She lifts her head and looks at me and shrugged. "I don't drink choco so, it's not me. Ask my brother" I close my eyes and tried not to burst out. He really is trying to piss me off. I heave a deep breath and went back to my seat.
(When Naiah and Quenda meet in the middle of the night)Red's POV"What is it?""Just try to act with them. Everything they asked you to do, just pretend that you have no choice and do it without hesitation" I said. "Who are they?" I smiled at her"Sin and Kanner""What?!" she was so shocked that her eyeballs might fall from their sockets. "Yes. There's one thing you should do aside from that," I said. I looked up to see the night sky that was always making me calm. Dark, I love darkness no matter what other people say. I grew up with it, with darkness. "I don't understand you" I chuckled darkly and looked at her eyes with so much coldness. Her eyes wavered. She tried to hide it from me but she can't as she gulped down. "You should. Or better yet, just die without bidding goodbye to y
Red's POV"It's funny how fate played our lives, tsk" I mumbled as I laugh. I turn my back and look at the crazy girl. "Come with me," I said and walk past her. She held my arm cause me to stop. I didn't look at her and stared ahead of me. "Why would I?" she asks, I scoffed and smirked and glanced at her sideways. I shake my head and held her hand on my right arm and face her. I stared straight at her eyes, she didn't budge even a little. I smiled in my mind, she's so much different from Quenda. She's strong and she knows when to act. Though she acts crazy sometimes, it doesn't mean that she's really crazy. She's just like that. "Wanna know the reason for Quenda's death?" her eyes widen but she hides it from me, real quick. I drop her hand and continued walking. I let her decide on her own. If she'll follow me, then good. If not, that's okay. It's not my problem anymore. S
Red's POVI hurriedly get out of the car when I saw a car crushed at one of the trees not far away from the signboard saying, 'Abandoned Road'. I run towards the car not waiting for D to come out of the car. My heart is racing and it seems that anytime it would come out of my chest. Tori, what happened? I ask inside my mind. As soon as I am beside the car, Tori's car. I know, it's her car because of the color, it's blue. I shake my head upon blurting out the word 'blue' inside my head. "Tori?" I asks and went to the driver's seat door. I furrowed my brows when there's no Tori inside the car. I open the door and crease my forehead when it's not locked. Knowing how conscious Tori was of her things, this is strange and doubtful. When I open the door, I search through all of her things. I check her dashboard and every corner of her car. Too strange when I find it n
