(LITTLE DARK PLAN) “LET ME FREE. I WANT TO HAVE THE WHOLE ME.” “Tsk!” Nick smirks, more than loving the little game within the little game that he is having right now. The fact and the darkness that is more than what he expected for. The little thrill that comes from all the lies and façade that they are playing ever since from the very beginning. “I see that you are in a good mood, Nick.” Valerie calls out to him, suddenly, yet expectedly when their path crosses. Along the hallway of one of the learning facilities of the Royal Knights University. “Valerie, how nice to bump into you this day.” Nick replies with the smile that only brought the shivers down to Valerie’s spine. His smile that they often seen from him, and the kind of smile that he never draws to his face, but now. “Now I regret having that unfortunate chance.” “Of course, you are.” He teases her, while laughing in the tone that once more brought the shivers to Valerie’s s
(CONFIRMATION) THE clock is ticking. The only constant thing that this world has. The valid truth and the remaining innocence that is connected from one world to another. “Are you alright, Emie?” “I am, Daniela.” She half lied. With a drawn smile on her face and eyes that compliments the same. She assures the Maiden who is just been through the current biggest hurdle in the image of Arthur. “How about you?” She dares to ask. The question that Daniela knew and was even deeper about, and that one sentence that always makes her think in a bit of a mix of negative and positive ways. “Are you asking me about, Arthur?” Emie then nods, immediately confirming her thoughts towards the Maiden. I thought things are a bit clear right now. It doesn’t change the fact that Kyle is still being hostile toward Arthur. Their little play is getting more complicated to manage with each passing day. And the upcoming festival that preparations are needed to be fina
(LITTLE TO NO GOOD CHOICE?)“SHE GOT IT.”The delightful tone and words of the Mistress of time, all after seeing and knowing that Emie fulfilled one of her assignments. With one of the commandments fulfilling his part, that certain part to make everything fall like what HE wanted it all to be.“I can see that and I commend them for fulfilling their duty. Their purpose and nothing else, but abide to what I have written for being my perfect little dolls.”HIS smile draws, that sinister one that HE always had whenever everything goes according to plan. No, it always goes right into plan. For there is no one in this world and from the books could ever defy HIM. For all along with the fact that will always stays the same.“Of course, the perfection that only you can have.”“Nothing else, but me, for I am God.”HIS proud stance, HIS title and life that he breaks and made to secure everything from what it is all today. The free will and freedom that HE gave to HIS creations. The liberty and
(A TRAITOR FOR FUN) “A TRAITOR YOU SAY?” The menacing tone and dead glare immediately mark Valerie’s face. All along with the mix of excitement and hate that are currently stirring inside her mind and playing her emotions off the sideline. “The traitor among the ten of us?” She wonders, yet, she seems that she is lying after all. Telling a thing while holding the true meaning from the other hand. Her sense and meaning of darkness that she too had. “That sure is disappointing news to hear, yet, I smell something that is not right with all of this.” Now she truly thought about it and everything that Ayumi just told her. The warning, no, the information that the remnants of the sin and darkness inside Ayumi will never tell a lie. Especially the type of lie that directly means war towards the Supreme One. “Her pinch of darkness will never warn me with just random things, not if it is crucial, and will drag everything of what we all made and prepared s
(FULL MOON) THE FULL MOON is so bright. More than anything for a while and the past years. Shining beautifully above and giving off its light to the darkness of the forest below. Yet, the air smells nothing but blood, with the ambiance and tone of dread and darkness all around. “Will she be alright?” Alliah’s worried tone. Clasping her hands together like she is praying, while looking towards the girl who is the same age as them. Bound to a cross stick, drench in dark blood, and just been to a painful ritual of cleansing after the successful exertion of killing the demon within her. “She is only unconscious right now from all the months that the demon is controlling her body. It took a toll on her frail soul, so it is normal right now that she would look like a deep person.” “I see.” Alliah understood quickly after Emie explains it to her directly and simply. “Kyle.” The soft, but warm voice of the Maiden echoes that night. Calling forth her
(LITTLE TO NOTHING: A SECRET DARE) “LITTLE TO NOTHING: A SECRET DARE.” Christopher whispers, but is all loud enough for Honey to hear those words. Words that alarms her, tingles her senses for the dread and darkness. But she still quietly observes him at a fair distance. Like a spy that she is. “I know that you heard me, and I also know that one way and another it shakes your curiosity. Honey.” Christopher pointed, giggling in his usual eerie way. Pointing out and directly that he knows Honey is spying to him. Looking and recording his every move and preventing him into stepping foot outside the boundary of the deals that he accepted and long gone signed. “Why don’t you come down here and have a chat with me? It is better that way that you hiding in the shadows and watching me from a short distance, Honey.” He continues to provoke Honey. His words and a little mad provocation that Honey is all use to from hearing from him. Even all used to the fact of wha
(A LITTLE WORRY AND TWO FOR THE IDENTITY THAT IS ALREADY EATEN BY SIN) “DANIELA, MY NAME’S DANIELA. YOU ARE?” “Ayumi, my name’s Ayumi.” That was the very first time that someone reaches out for her. A warm presence and a beautiful smile that sooth her fearful heart and painful life. The presence that is like an angel, no, a goddess that comforted her and made her feel for the first time that everything will be alright. “You do not need to be scared anymore, Ayumi. I promise you that everything will be alright from now on.” The promise and the first one that she ever receives. Words that calms her mind and have her hope from the darkness that she is trap into. A gentle care from the person that is just the same age as her. “Why?” She asks. While wondering why would someone so beautiful and gentle, who always surrounded by the people that are powerful and smart would help someone like her? A hopeless child that the world already abandons. “Why are
(ANOTHER DOLL IN QUESTION)“JUST HOW SIMPLE ARE YOU GOING TO BE, CHRISTOPHER?”Honey’s direct insult and curses to Christopher. Meeting him inside his little prison sanctuary and exactly the in the last second before his time limit expires and what they both agreed upon.“Simple?” he thought about Honey’s words. “I think the right word that you say right now is a genius.”His ever-towering pride is ringing in an irritated tone to Honey’s ear. But she is not in the mood to fight his little game, and instead she is just curious for the game that he made and just impose to Ayumi.“Just tell me what do you expect to gain from this little game of yours Christopher?”She now asks and in detail about. Wondering and decoding the possibilities for the positive ways that Christopher might earn something in exchange. A thing that she actually doubts that he will have anything in return.“What would I gain?” He thought to himself, asking the question back in a clown like manner that only irritate
(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
