(AWAKENING)DARKNESS. The word and the only thing that Marie could and can describe to the space that she wakes up and found herself in. Puzzled and scared, looking around, back and forth with nothing, but the pitch darkness that is only adding to her anxiety. Her tears started to fall, thinking how she ended up in that place when a while she was just been with----“Who?”The question quickly strikes her mind after realizing that she couldn’t recall a single thing. Nor the people that were just around her a while ago. Leaving her with blurry images of the things that she right now even didn’t know if it happened to her a while ago or from the way past. “Where I am? Why am I here? What I am doing here?”Tears stream down from her eyes, her cries that no one could ever hear. The space and darkness that she knows she shouldn’t be, yet she finds herself in. “Someone please, help me. Someone, please. I am scared.”Crouching down and crying hard, she burry her face in between her knees as
(DIFFERENT KINDS OF GREETINGS)“MARIE.”Surprised and shaken by what she’s currently seeing. Farah is in the middle of nothingness out of the moment from what she just found out. The timid, quiet, and shy Marie, the little sister of the original owner of the vessel that she now using is someone that she couldn’t recognize, no, she knew, she is familiar and greatly recall the fact that the original Scorpio’s holder is a confident, beautiful and bold woman. The exact one that she is looking at right now. “Farah, or should I properly greet you with your real name, Haruna, no, Princess Haruna.”“I see. You have finally remembered everything.”The response is in a kind of disappointed and saddened tone. Honestly irritated and a bit angered with everyone, especially Jeffrey who drags Marie in front of Bianca and forced her to wake up in the most excruciating pain possible. A thing and two that she doesn’t want Marie to experience right now. “Tsk! So, you still ended up experiencing the pa
(FACING DARKNESS)‘THE KEYS.’The words that immediately registered and took Bianca’s whole attention to the current little conversation and meeting after the awakening of Marie. With the fact that Daniela is looking for the seven keys, it is her time to finally fulfill the promise that she took then. The wish that Aaron’s pleaded her back then. The truth and her awareness for everything. The past and the orphanage where everything started with her life, and the truth that she only got to understand as she grows older, of who is to trust and not. With the most dangerous one in her list, JK.“Then shall we head to where we should be and finish the things that we needed to do and fast?”“Of course, Bianca.”Everyone agrees, diverting the gloomy and turning heavy atmosphere in between Marie and Haruna with regards to Daniela, the maiden’s attention and affection. With the fact that Daniela s now aware that both Haru and Haruna are her offspring’s in the different world and book. Added by
(BROKEN REFLECTION)THE cup that she’s been holding for quite some time now shatters into pieces. Along with the wind that blows rather eerily and more than it had ever been before. Warning the both of them about the impending doom and the now perfect destruction that is just behind their every door. “It’s coming, it’s finally coming. Now that some things are altered and changed, things are going faster than what it is before. Well, can you hear the knocking sound, Gennivier?”“Sound? Maybe, maybe not.”Their conversation that for long is getting darker and even curses. Yet, it makes it clear to both of them that the past that everyone now knows and the ones who are asleep for a long is finally waking up are coming to light. All from his little storytelling, sharing the darkness and details of the past with his goal of both juggling the light and dark within the palm of his hand. Didn’t care who to serve and was much loyal, as long as he can have what he desired the most.“You are a
(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
(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
(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
(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?
(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
