(DARK FEARS)
“GEMINI.”
Uttering the name of God as her attention is stolen, fixed and leans toward what’s in front of her. The door shuts close, as she is now standing at the scene of the next character, the puzzled one and the 2nd stage of this game’s play she thinks and knew to hold and taken into the loop of,
“Twelve.”
Tilting her head slightly unto the right side, yet she still does not show any emotions or a little bit unto the things that she is seeing. The blue light that she collected, but perhaps her reward from the previous stage stays put unto her left shoulder, as everything turns into an uncanny scene.
“Two souls that are bound unto one another. Night and day, as their characters and nature opposite, yet defines one an
(EXCHANGE DREAD) MAYBEshe shouldn’t have created her path and in between, as she should have stayed put and probably chooses the lesser end of this dark game she is dragged into. For at the moment, wherein her emotions are frozen from the dread and darkness she just had and witnessed, she stands corrected as she is now sweating in fear behind the expressionless face, she has towards the daughter of evil she did not want nor expected to see. “I’ll take, it, I’ll make them, I shall have everything, and kill you, can I, Daniela?” Wide eyes and frozen shock to where she is. She is witnessing not the present, the past, but the reality of the words of the books presented here. With the twin that she finally realizes that’s been replaced, yet rather corrupted, stolen identity and even got exchang
(THE HATTER’S HAT) “ALLIAH?” Finally hearing the name of the mistress of hell, His very own daughter, and the only being He ever created. “Now, now, now. I finally understand.” Somehow imitating the tone and words of the supreme, yet she just unconsciously did so. She now finally path everything within the fear and dread that lies within the second stage and unto the core of Gemini, as she looks intently at the scene and the sinister smile that forms unto his face, yet not him from the very within. The scene shifted, fast and immediately, as the voice of the other twin calls out and gives way, saying the words. “I’ll save you and end this dark game, Gilbert.” The scene forms into a static and som
(DREADFUL HATTER) “KYLE.” She calls, dropping the name of the prominent who holds the ice and coldness of the God that is his very guardian as he is Its very holder. She steps immediately inside the room with confidence and calmness, knowing that the holder behind the door is someone as gentle as anyone could be and could never hold such dreadful darkness inside, with the tainted darkness of his core that hides the darkest secret of the time flow, and most especially towards the future he holds. It then all comes to the words. “DIE, DIE, DIE!” Stun in surprise as she does not expect to see the chaotic scene, with the pure dread, dripping blood, and gory site of the people’s decapitated bodies and forsaken lives under the seemingly human, yet a devil devouring
(MY MAD HATTER) “NOW,now, now. Shall we?” Still stun in place as her tears continue to fall within the corners of her drawn horrified face from the deal and the same tone of the devil’s kiss. She crawls on four as she pulls the book close to her and watches as the image of the holder is drawn in completion, but with the howling tone that he wasn’t him as everyone thought that he is. “Do you want to take that deal with me?” With her sharp gasp as she almost hyperventilates and passes out from the sudden words from the voice that took the most dreaded thing she had ever seen so far, and successfully draws the emotion to her face from deep within. But the same horrors of the past shut her entire emotions deep inside. She slowly looks up while clutching the book
(THE DARKNESS IN BETWEEN) “OH, IS IT TEA TIME?” Somehow taunted and slap unconsciously by the familiar tone and voice, from the question and words that follow. Her eyes are torn in between the two realities that the particular fourth stage is making her see, solve and answer with its impending puzzle that somewhat tickling with time, but draws the mix of hope and rage, in between truth and lies, dark and light, and good and bad. Realizing that this game is not the twelve-stage that she is thinking it to be, each line comes across into a much sinister and dreadful nightmare that destined one, owns, holds into the future, and eve secretly has off. She takes three steps forward, as she names the stage that belongs to the circle and whispers. “Avarice.”
(DARK TEA) “LIFE, REBIRTH, AND REINCARNATION. REMEMBER THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU, HANA.” To the tears that fall and created the never-ending ripple unto the lake of sorrow and goodbye. She reaches her small hand towards her beloved mother and father, which bruised faces, bleeding wounds and limping body resembles the chaos and tainted darkness and blood of the world that war is all that it seems and never-ending. “You need to survive, find the shard and equivalent of us from the original. Protect our shared souls and be the guide for the other us to be found by the original. Remember that you are the equivalent of their original offspring, our child and our treasure.” With the blood that stains everything of the known world and kingdom where she
(LITTLE MISS DOORMOUSE) “JEFFREY SALVATORE” With the name that she whispers and the light of that prominent holder glows, takes its spot, and follows her. She takes the steps in front of the next door, as words suddenly form, written through blood and by a feathered pen as the voice speaks. “Tickled and prickled, trick and prick. She to whom innocence lies within the boundary of her craft and imagination, the mistress took a pity, yet rather an inevitable choice. Holding the box that hides the truth, the very beginning, and the promise of an end. Would you dare to see the contents of the PANDORA’S BOX?” Prick by the outmost interest of the name and the infamous box of the old told tale of the first women Pandora, or so does she. The voice asks her and for the first time after
(THE TEA CEREMONY) TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK! The clock would say. RING A LING DING! It would sing. TAP, TAP, TAP! The way of its footsteps. PRIDE, LUST, GREED, ENVY, SLOTH, GLUTTONY, and WRATH. With the name of the sins that are held up and dropped with the weight of their curses. Everything crumbles around the core and half stage of the 4th and within the circle of AVARICE, as the book blew back unto her arms and everything turns into the same circle where she is in that middle surrounded by the torches with their respective flames. &nb
(BUTTERFLIES)“THE butterflies have been sent. Everyone should have received it by now, right, Chie?”HE asks in a bit of a threatening tone. Sitting perfectly to his throne and tapping the helm of his chair with his right pointer finger. With a drawn sinister smile and the Mistress of Time standing beside him, the meeting place are all set and perfectly placed with the chairs that resembles the chess board.“Just as you wish for it.”The Mistress smile that is equally threatening and hiding something that she prefers to keep like a souvenir. With the grand clock ticking and finally to its very last seconds. A bit of a change from the past are corrected. Now presenting it in the way that is better than before and too perfect to be told to be a fault.Then.“Here I thought that you wouldn’t came.”“Tsk! I’ve been thinking about it and I realize that I couldn’t miss this for the world and books.”An echoing footstep sounded. With the smile and the sinister one that they both knew and re
(BOOKS)“STOP!”The protest and utter denial of Alliah for the truth that is presented right in front of her. The words and the said facts shake her entire world and currently put her into the deepest darkest corner that she has ever been in her entire life. “No, it can’t be. I am not her. I am me. I am!”She screams in frustration, and wide eyes, and expresses the kind of fear that is a mix of horror and surprise. All for the reality and the truth that she doesn’t want to believe, she thinks that she didn’t deserve it, and all along is an utter lie. “Open your eyes and face the truth. You are not who you think you are, Alliah.”“No, no, no. It can’t be.”Tears fall inconsolably from her eyes. Her body trembles with fear, and the knocking words and reality that she couldn’t escape from somewhat pulled her deeper into that demise. She wanted to escape, she wanted to run away and think that this is all nothing, but a nightmare.“That’s right! This is all but a nightmare, everything of
(ROSES)“YOU do not need to say anything anymore Pauleen. I understand and know my sin from the past that ruined our relationship. I should have accepted the fact that he chooses you, so, for this life and this final loop. I promise to stay by your side.”“Jade!”Overwhelmed with joy and relief that Pauleen felt. She hugs her sister tight, after reminiscing and the very first loop where their relationship breaks and crumbles into ruins. Didn’t go through any bumps and cracks, nor Jade felt the excruciating pain of remembering the past loops. Christopher is true to his words when everything on the side of the sisters is done and in peace. Or is it?”“I see that you came with Gen.”“I guess, from now on things will change between us?”“A bit, for right now we are a family and to think about it, I am your aunt.”A little teasing, and giggling about the present and the future that they will be facing. A light atmosphere that Pauleen couldn’t help but be more than glad of receiving. Now th
(VIENNA BLOOD)“I have the hunch, but I didn’t expect to see you here, Honey.”“So, do I, Gen.”Their bland, but casual greeting. They’re not so usual encounters, but both know who they are in this world and what role they are playing. Honey recognizes Gen and not in the way that always starts with a fight. Gen immediately knew that it already came to Honey’s ears that her little game of guarding and spying over JK had ended. “Then I guess you being here and without any ominous aura and a façade like one, means that JK already knew about you and everything that you have done since the very beginning.”“Well, I am not his guide in the first place, nor he is one of the original holders in this book and world. I am only attracted to him because he had the essence of my birth father. Besides, it is my task to be spied and pretend that I am loyal to him with my utter disgusting desire. But right now that almost everything is set, I came here to ask for that thing, Honey.”“I see.”Couldn’
(CHALK NIGHTMARE)“DEATH, DIE, THE DEAD.”An eerie song is echoing all around the place and under the bright full moon. The melody of the song will bring chills down anyone’s spine. Making all the gentle animals around hide in fear, while the owl coos and the ravens are screaming. In that not-so-dead night, Gennivier is singing the song while marking the points and the necessary corners in the middle of the biggest pentagram and where they are about to open the gate and fulfill the end most perfectly. “Are you done, Gen?”“Please. I know that you miss me and all, but just wait for a moment for I am almost done, my dear sister, Pauleen.”She still addresses the original holder of God Aries, of this world and book in the same way as she used to do. Looking at her with those envious eyes, and an untrusting heart that she is still working on correcting. The reality will always stay the same, for even though she is one of the directions that HE is a bit proud to be HIS puppet. She still h
(A SMALL LIGHT)“TSK! Do not make me laugh, Bianca.”“Tsk!”Still he is being stubborn, protecting and not accepting anything from what he just saw even though it was the damn real thing and his inner consciousness is screaming at him to believe. Bianca couldn’t help but be in dismay. Angered and wanted to curse Aaron deeper and worse to the core. But she is still thinking of the civil way to do things. Calming her nerves and composing herself. Looks back at him and tries again for the third time.“Just what is it that you do not want to understand Aaron? You who is one of the holders that should and will always protect the Shrine Maiden shouldn’t be stubborn like this. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself because you are blinded by love. The Alliah that you know is only the half, the yang of her whole who also had its own dark past, while the yin had the biggest tragedy that was used and played by the Supreme One and becomes, Beatrice.”“Beatrice? Damn! Now it is Beatrice?
(A DUEL IN THE MIST OF INSANITY)SILENCE is eminent, that even the wind is somehow frightened in some way to blow its presence. The night is too quiet and not a single insect an be seen or to be heard. Everyone seems hiding for something, with everything is like in a mid of chaos. In that small garden in the residence of the Gomez, footsteps suddenly echo. It’s sound that is menacing and screaming a dark warning that no one even the smallest living thing will dare to see, face and make a sound in front of it.Arthur looks back, drawing a confident and a bit of a mocking smile and welcomes his guess.“So, you decided to come and face me after all, Kyle.”“And I can see that you are waiting for my arrival, Arthur.”The challenge that they both know that they wanted and at the same time not. The unnecessary but necessary thing to do, and a contradiction that they both know that is stupid, yet it is the only way to prove their strengths and wits to one another.“You do know that there is
(LABYRINTHAL CORRIDOR)“THE destruction for this loop and this sixth is about to begin.”Words that she didn’t want to hear. The fact that she needed to face and swallow up and whole for it is the reality and the written plot that was the plan all along and from the very beginning that they wouldn’t, couldn’t, and will never escape from. “Everything is settled on your parts, am I right, JK, Kyle?”“Tsk! It’s long been done.”“Everything is set on my part.”The confirmation and the exchange of assurance and confidence that JK and Kyle expresses. Amuses, no, giving the hell lot of confidence towards Him. But without knowing what had happened in between the loop of six, the secrets and the deals that took place are one hell of an exciting roller coaster ride that Kyle made and secretly had. All for his benefit and nothing more but for him. “Kyle.”“Just like what I have said, it’s long been done. I did my part perfectly according to our deal. I set everything up without any flaws and r
(THE QUEEN SHALL BE SAVED)“BE prepared, for what you are about to see will shatter you to pieces, Aaron.”Damn, that was cruel and dark. Deeper and more menacing than Aaron had experienced and had known so far. He holds his breath for a few seconds, then coughs multiple times while covering his mouth and somehow chocking about something that Bianca knew that it is all due to what he had seen so far. “Had enough? Did you understand what I am trying to say and make you, Aaron?’“Enough? Are those for real?”The in denial that is screaming inside his mind and for who he is in totality. More than being stubborn about the truth and the facts that were just presented to him, Aaron still believes that the Alliah that he met back then is not the one Bianca just showed her. “I didn’t expect that you will be this foolish because of love big brother Aaron. You above all people that I know who had the greatest sense of justice and smart enough to know what is right from wrong.”“Then, you didn
