(FANTASY AND REALITY) ‘THAT’S RIGHT. DO NOT THINK ANYMORE AS YOU DO NOT NEED IT. JUST FOLLOW OUR WORDS AND YOUR WORLD WILL BE AS PERFECT AS YOU WANT IT TO BE.’With the words that never fails to hunt me and provoking me to take everything in exchange of the whole me. The both of them now is playing with my feelings, as I do not mind such. For all along the voice of her and her push saved me somehow, or did she? Now as the both of them are telling me. Pushing me for one thing to have the thing that I could only have if I will only listen to them. As it is the only path of my reality.“I give up, as you can have everything in exchange for what I desire the most.”Unlike giving up and more likely a chance that I ca grab as long as I become a puppet. I didn’t have to think about it, as it will all be the right thing, one I have the thing that I deeply desire more than anyone and something form this filthy world.“Come with me.”With the stranger’s hand that’s reaching towards me, and the
(DARK SKY) “WHO ARE YOU?” Asking the question, yet more like a taunting doubt that I have in mind. By which I was being played and everything that just happened is all a lie. Those voices, no, their voices made me think otherwise and back to what they wanted me to think. ‘DO NOT THINK ANYTHING ANYMORE AIRA. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN TO OUR VOICE AND BELIEVE AND ONLY TO OUR WORDS. IF YOU WANTED TO BE HAPPY. YOU DO WANT TO BE HAPPY, RIGHT?’ Realizing my wish and what I’ve been through are the necessary things that I should not be questioning. Especially since both of them are my savor and the reason for this hope and comfort that I have now and deep inside my heart. There is nothing else, but to trust. Right? “I do.” I then and immediately answered back. With their giggle and proud heart that I could hear, knew, and somewhat recognize. My world is turning into the right place where it should be. But then deep down inside of me is te
(FALSE PAST) “THEN I WANT YOU TO BE MY FRIEND! BE MY FRIEND, AIRA.” I shouldn’t have listened as I shouldn’t have been too naïve to believe you. To trust and fall for someone who treated me all that I ever wish for, for someone. But I couldn’t be too hard unto myself and to who am I, as I have been through all the darkness of the world, where you are the light that came and suddenly gave me the warmth I desperately needed. But then everything of this is nothing, but a play, a false past, and just a romantic nightmare, right? ‘DO YOU WANT IT ALL TO BE?’ Hearing their voice again, as I am in the middle of seeing the past that is tearing me even more and apart. Their giggle echoes unto my ears, as the other, the male voice echoes. ‘JUST WHAT DID WE TELL YOU? YOU DO NOT NEED TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING. JUST RELIEVE THE PAST THAT ‘YOU HAVE. THE PAST THAT WILL AID OUR BIRTH.’ “Okay.” Heeding as I do not have a choice by any of this right now. Every
(BIRTH) “MICHAEL ANTHONY KEITH, THAT’S MY NAME, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME,” Just how could I forget? The person who first became the most important person in my life aside from my family and the real one. The little boy that I meet then. The one who had those warm smiles and comforting eyes that eases away the fear that I had back then. “Hold my hand, and I will take you back to your mother.” The very first person reaches his hand to me. The one who only hears my cries and came to my aid. The little boy made me feel comfortable immediately despite him being a stranger. A stranger at first. “Don’t worry, I will be here until you we will find your mother.” His first promise. The words that remain inside my mind and heart for a long time. Even though I forgot about him. The words and his promise made me believe that everything will be okay, as long as someone will lend their hand to help. “Trust me.” The thing tha
(PERFECTION) IF ONLY I COULD TURN BACK THE TIME AND RELIVE THOSE DAYS, I WISH TO GO BACK TO THE TIME AFTER HE CAME AND SAVED ME. ‘FINALLY.’ I could hear the two of them saying that particular word, which was then followed by their giggle that turns into a peal of maniacal laughter. A demonic way by the least, yet it didn’t scare me, anything, not even a bit. For maybe I was already used to it. Now treating it as a normal way in this charade. But perhaps I am long gone deep into the darkness and insanity that is just lurking in secret. “What should I do now?” I asked the two of them, as everything in my world turns into nothing. When the only person that I ever believed in, left me alone and completely. “What should I do that everything comes into nothing right now?” I ask once more as I couldn’t hear anyone of them like they suddenly fell into silence. A cold silence. “He is already gone as everyone is pushing me away from him for good. Tel
(DARK REMINISCING DEAL) AND SO, AIRA’S WORLD AND PERCEPTION ENDED. “ENTERTAINING.” HE smiles, then giggles. More than loving and amused by the entire play that HE had witnessed. The almost perfect script created by one of his chess pieces is neither good nor bad. “He really is quite interesting, isn’t he?” As the mistress of time asks of HIM. All as they both are watching and intently, with amusement and interest to the grand play and script that Kyle had made. “Interesting?” HE smiles, then draws a sinister smile. As HE then continues with the taunting words. “A bit, as he is more than that.” Complimenting, but not. HIS smile even draws wider, where HIS eyes are still on the mirror, pin and all in attendance to the things that are happening. The game that is playing, and Kyle’s cunning mind that HE had long been aware of and had known. “He is cunning, a soul that doesn’t have a bit of contentment. His pride is immeasurable, as h
(MEETING) “THE perfect doll?” JK thought to himself. “Tsk!” as he smirks, somewhat unconvinced about the words that the Supreme one had told him. The fact he couldn’t deny, nor protest. For HIS words are the absolute and those simple words mean more than a being’s worth. Where it only means one thing. “Just what kind of perfection does that particular doll falls into?” He asks, with a bit of jealousy in his voice and tone. For being the perfectionist that he is, he sure will find anyone as his rival when the word perfect is attributed to that person’s characteristic. Most especially if that compliment comes from the Supreme being to whom he needed to please. He needed to be noticed with all of his worth. For all else, his life and the one that he cares about so much more than anyone and anything lies within the palm of his hands. “Let’s shall see about that.” With a cunning smile, he took on the opportunity, yet more like
(MOCKERY) “ENVY AND LUST.” Two known words, name and sins that are circling and making JK itch within his seat. The embodiment that’s birth is all too perfect, flawless and beautiful than the Greed and Pride that he made and orchestrated he birth from. “Anything by your command, we will follow without any doubts, our Supreme one.” Bowing down as HE is more than amuse for the creation and the embodiment that is more than what he ever expects to be. It is making JK grit his teeth in silence and in secret, for the competitive one that he is. His pride is sure enough is being trampled by now. “Such lovely sins, aren’t you?” The Mistress of time complimented, but more likely mocking JK in secret. That on the other hand he knew, as he is more than aware. Their little silent bickering that HE also knew, more than aware of as HE already seen it all before it ever happened. “Well then, shall we start the christ
(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
