(THE FIRST SIN)
“WELL THEN, SHALL I DEVOUR YOU NOW?”
Wide eyes and is completely tormented by the scene and information that she could not catch and is trying hard to make sense of and understand everything but fails miserably. Worst, that she is now in front of the beautiful woman who just claims to eat her and whole with the hell’s worth she does not know why. She slowly opens her mouth, like the queen she sees and thinks of her whispers in a confident, and somehow a reassuring tone, but in deep and in reality, is nothing, but a warning and a knocking of death, that goes with the words.
“Do not worry, it’s not that agonizing, nor painful, as I promise you that it will be easy, fast, and painless as possible.”
Falling to her knees as she could feel that her end is
(MIDDLE SIN) “DEAL.” Fed up with the words and the same ending circle that gives and marks another unfortunate dread that is only the start of the horrors and the bloody consequences along the way. She watches the last scene in dismay, as her face could not even draw a small smile where it all screams and tells is, “A tragedy, yet it all must be as it should be where nothing else should matter but the play that is being written at hand and from the very beginning, right? Haruna?” Somewhat turning her mood into three hundred and sixty degrees, where her face draws the nothingness and blank expression that she usually has, always had and up until recently and along the stages of the game that she is playing inside. She picks the book as she scans the first few chapter
(THE FIRST LOOP) “WHY DON’T YOU JUST DIE? WHY DON’T YOU ALL LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING, YOU CAN EMBRACE ANYONE, BUT WHY CAN’T YOU GIVE ME, HIM?” Listening to the curses and screams of the prominent holder by which world, mind, and being are twisted from the very beginning. Haruna finds herself inside of a room that only tells the tragic and horrific end of the loop that started everything. “Interesting.” The items in front of her immediately hit her mind and prequel her interest, yet somehow knew what and to whom it represents, and just where do the symbols came from and will be showing the significance unto this second to the last stage inside the nine circles of hell. She smiles as she walks forward observes it closer with her eyes and s
(ENTANGLED SINS) “LOVE.” She whispers while looking at the scene and standing unto the very place and time where it all happened. When it started and how the sins engulf the once innocent beings into one hell of a curse and darkness. All because of the stupid feeling, that regretful emotion, and the beat that started everything to crumble the world that turns into this one hell of a curse, “Love?” As she asks, yet not, wondering but all along understands the concept, yet at the same time could not be denied that this particular emotion that started the wonderful things and giving birth to everything is the same as the one who destroy the world. All just because a heart, the mind, and the very soul are attached to the emotion that they thought they fully understand, yet no
(MOSAIC) “SAY, WOULD YOU GRANT ME MY ONLY WISH?” Drag inside the darkness that she opens, and the result of the taboo and cardinal sin her siblings committed, yet she also holds in secrecy with her way. She looks at the Supreme God before her with her blank expression darken eyes and envious heart, as she opens the gate that she shouldn’t have. “I am the way, the truth, and the life, whoever calls my name and says their wish will be granted by me, and you who are destined for this path shall have what you ever wish for.” He answers with a smile and assuring tone while all along hiding in His façade of a gentleman’s figure. Like a noble and a respected one in that time and place. A merchant, yet more than that, as he is a mask-wearing supreme that
(BLUE BELL) “CRUEL, CURSED, A TABOO, BUT EXHILARATING WHEN YOU WOULD THINK OF IT, RIGHT?” Leaves herself with those following thoughts as her curiosity gets better of her and wishes to know and see the in-between of Jane’s demise before she took the deal that never did any good to anyone so far. She smiles as she whispers towards the poor turn damsel without her prince with the words. “You should be wise, think twice before you will ever do a single thing from now on, for the taboo that you three just commits is more than enough to produce the chain of cracks unto the walls of the future and to the succeeding loops. Kindly remember that, Pauleen.” Walking away as she enters a black hallowed space that is just open for her. She steps right and immediately inside as
(FIR TREES) “I CALL UPON THE SUPREME ONE.” Consume with the dark desire for something taboo, yet she let herself dwell within the sin that she could not turn away from, and now it is all too late. The door opens and a black octopus-like arms reach her way and engulf her whole. With the crimson light that illuminated the entire place and lightning that comes underground dances along with the symbol and marks that link the path unto that very particular world of hers, she giggles and says. “Let me have the only thing I deeply desire.” The desire that corrupted her, he wishes that she will do everything within her capabilities to have. The drive that push her to step right into an unfamiliar place with the thick mist that makes a clear visible sound impossible. She looks up and notices the uncanny bright full moon above. With the fir tree that now surrounds her and the pentagram illuminating with its intense crimson glow. Everything around her is painted with scarlet, with the moon
(UNTITLED) “STAY AWAY FROM HIM FROM NOW ON, FOR YOU ARE NOTHING, BUT A FLEETING FANTASY THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE. HE IS MINE AS HE WILL NEVER BE YOURS, REMEMBER THAT.” Somewhat poured with the coldest water with some ice floating in it, her world just crumbles down into nothingness as the promises are broken and her entire life becomes a tragic fantasy. “Pauleen.” With her name that she casually calls and ended with the tone that screams how pathetic her life becomes. Her sister’s smile buries all through and through her mind. With the forbidden love that he did not expect that the two of them share with one man and worst is their little brother, her tears fall as the door shuts close and the horror left her wanting to vomit everything out but restrains herself
(YOUTH) “PAULEEN, AARON AND JANE. SATISFIED?” She rather asks, wondering and thinking that something is amiss, that there is a thing that is placed into the wrong path and corner, as a name and profile shouldn’t be written in that particular way. “Well then?” With the question and rather than a fully satisfying answer. The voice is waiting for her words to follow, yet with her caught the mind and realizing that something is a fault and that the entire stage is amiss for the terrible wrong all through and through. She fails to give her attention, as the voice notices it, giggles in return, and says. “Alice in Wonderland.” Finally dropping the title and story that is coexisting and is an inspiration of the charact
(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
