Third Person's POV
[Fifteen Years Ago...]"Damn! That startled me" Red exclaims as she glances at the shattered glass on the floor. She was silently washing the glass when it slipped on her hands.
She shook her head and she went to the backdoor to get a dustpan. She knelt on the floor and pick the shattered glass. After that, she swept the leftover pieces of glass.
"Weird," she mumbled and continue washing the plates and all. Her heart is still beating fast and she's starting to feel anxious. She tilts her head and sighs. When done, she went into the living room and stood at the center. She looks around the house. She felt empty. She doesn't want what she's feeling now. Empty and alone, that's worse than being dead.
She heaved a sigh and went upstairs. She walks slowly and in deep thoughts. She doesn't know why she stops in front of Blue's roo
Third Person's POV(After Blue died...) "See you later baby. Don't go out okay? I love you, I have to go" Naiah's mother bids her goodbye to her daughter. It's not Nadia, but Nathalie. Little Naiah just watched her mother walk her way out. Not so long after her mother left the house, she's still there standing as if she's waiting for someone. She lifted an eyebrow when no one appeared. "She's not yet here? Why so?" she thought. Even though she wanted to go in as the weather was so cold, she can't. Someone promised. And she has yet to test that someone will keep the said promise. She lifted her arm where her wristwatch wrapped into her wrist. She waited for about four minutes already. "Just one minute," she thought as she desperately looked at the gate, wish
(Her POV) - Red's POVClenching both of my hands, I glared at the guy in front of me. He has this teasing smile etched on his lips. His eyes seem to be shining despite how annoying he is. He's a bastard! Urgh! How dare he?! I just wanna wring his neck so he could die!"Aren't you tired glaring at me?" he asks. I rolled my eyes still not taking my eyes off of him."Not until you die" if looks could kill he will be lying on the floor in front of me, lifeless."Nah, you're just mesmerized with my beauty. Why did I even bother asking you that?" he whispered the last one but I heard it. He smirks playfully causes my blood to boil in annoyance upon hearing what he said."Are you serious?!" my voice kinda raise as I couldn't help but glare at him. He wants to be on my bad side today. He's just so annoying!"To you? Yea, I am" gritting my teeth, I was about to say something
Red's POV"L!" I stop in my tracks when I heard a familiar voice. I glance at my side right in the corridor."Yes?" I raise a brow when the girl if I remember it right, her name starts with the letter Z., Hmm, now that I see her here, I remember her accusing me of using the name 'Naiah', which is true.I walk towards them as I stared at the girl, what was her name again? Zia? Ziana? Ah! She's Ziara, what a pretty name, but the beholder is such a bitch, she ruins the beauty of that name. Tsk."Uhm, can you go with me to the laboratory?" I heard Ziara the bitch, said as her eyes filled with hope. Raising a brow, I glance at L. She's just looking at the girl in front of her. You can tell by the looks of it that she's bored talking to the girl, Ziara the bitch I mean. I chuckled in my mind. Sounds better."Why would I?" L asks Ziara the bitch while crossing her arms and lazily looking ahead of
Red's POV"Let go of me! Keiko what the hell are you doing?!" I look away from his gaze when I heard the girl's voice. Even though I hate the voice I am hearing, it saves me from further awkwardness. "Is that Ziara the bitch?" I ask him instead and take a step away from him. He let out a chuckle causes me to look at him. "What's funny?" I ask him, my eyes are in his nose. I don't want to look at his eyes. It's kinda pulling me closer and I want to prevent that to happen. "Nothing, let's go" he turns serious and gently drags me beside him as we follow Keiko and Ziara not minding we're going deeper into the forest. I didn't know there's a place like this here. It's my school but I never did take around. I'll review the blueprint later. I have been busy these past few days. As they take turns in an alley that I wouldn't know such a thing exists t
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
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
(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"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.
|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
