(THE CURSE PAIN) “THE person that she is referring to. Tell me, it is not the one that I’ve been thinking about right now, right?” The question that Winona is asking is with anger, disappointment, and worry in her voice. The answer that Carlos knew was that will not just break her multiple times right now, but he also knows that she should learn who. “Why? Do you have an idea of who that person is?” He asks, not just provoking her, but Carlos is trying to find out how what extent she has her hunch about the person that she forgot from her past life. “I don’t know. But I honestly wanted to know and be sure of.” She replies vaguely, with her mind in a mix of what she is knowing and facing right now. Like she’s being tormented and unknowingly why. “Let’s see.” Carlos started, now counting the facts that he made her see, realize and remember. “You now learned that you aren’t what you thi
(THE ONE SHE LOVES AS HER FATHER) “THE deal that I took.” Winona then whispers. Thinking about the deal that she took and now understands the whole picture about the part of her life, and how she became a human. “Mother and father.” She reminiscently calls out the titles. While looking at the scene in front of her. Where the two people that she deeply cares so much is the person that she needed to look after for her creator and master, while the other is the rival that her father wanted to be gone. “Where is he, in my original time, Carlos.” With a sinister smile forming on his face. Carlos then giggles, as she is waiting for that question to be thrown towards her by Winona. The perfect thought and firm desire from her to know the person who is missing. “The prince, the Maiden’s destined one, and once I treasured as my father.” She impatiently asks. Wanted a clear answer and fast. With Carlos’s amuse
(THE ONE IN BETWEEN THE GLASS OF TIME) CHIE. The name that took her attention and now is echoing inside Winona’s mind. The name that the Mistress of time owns, and the identity that a few knows, and this time around she becomes one of those few living people. “Arius.” She whispers as she couldn’t take her eyes off the reaper in the world of death and call. Starring at him with her intent to be familiar with the face that doesn’t fall far from the prince of their world and book. “Lelouch.” She then calls, the name of her father and Daniela’s man. Just then, the key once more turns. Clicking and then a snap is heard. All with the scene changing and into the time where she took the deal that was offered by her. “WILL YOU SING WITH ME?” The still doll image of her asks in a sinister tone. All while giggling and looking at herself in the mirror. “I couldn’t wait.” She then said and claimed. Impatient for the fac
(DARK-FALL) “SATISFIED, Winona?” Carlos asks, breaking the silence that for the moment engulfs the place. But more than just asking, Carlos is a bit teasing her. With the fact and truth that he knew that it wasn’t enough for Winona. “Not yet.” Knew it and was way ahead, as he is now used to how her mind works and more than what he can read with her expression. Carlos giggles, amuse once more by her character, but he isn’t surprised. Knowing that in the very beginning, she is someone that is not a human after all. “What do you want to see now? Or rather, should I ask, do you want to continue where you left from the past and the truth about Kyle or Alliah?” A moment of silence once more took place, but Carlos isn’t worried about a single thing. Just then Winona took a deep breath in and answered him. “I want to continue where we left with Alliah.” Excitement once more filled the air of Carlos’s world. As she smiles granting Winona’s wish.
(WORSE THAN DESPARE) “PITY or anger? Which one should I’ll be having for you, Alliah?” Winona whispers. As she is getting more and more convince that she should be having the latter emotion and not to pity someone that is Alliah. For no matter how hard her world and life turn out to be. She doesn’t have the right to covet someone that is not her’s. “The end doesn’t justify the means.” She reason. Taking the old saying that Carlos is very well known about. Words the define his past and the darkness that she once been through. “Still.” She whispers, with the tiny consideration inside her heart and deep inside her mind that she wanted to consider. Besides, the Alliah that she knows is someone very close not just for the Maiden, but for the rest of the Elites. “You are safe now.” The words and security that the Prince is known about. Winona faintly remembers from her father. But the warm and pr
(LOVE AND PITY) “LOVE.” The word that Winona whispers with a tone of pity, but greater disappointment towards Alliah. For falling into the trap that Kyle made for her. Yet, she couldn’t blame her for choosing that path, now that she knew how tragic her life ends up. “Filial, agape and Eros.” Carlos suddenly speaks. Laying the types of love that she is aware of, just then. “Eros. The type of love between two people is much associated with the sin of Lust. But then, what you are thinking and the pity that you have for her is not right Winona.” Taken aback by his words, Carlos that is so far is like a roller coaster that’s spinning her head into the tunnels and the fact that one way is positively building Alliah up and the other down. “What do you mean?” She immediately asks, in a tone that is demanding and commanding. “Yes, Alliah’s life is a pity. The perfect tragedy that the hell made to pull her into the darkness was a plan for her life all along. But her lust and love
(BLOOD AND DARK) “THE third book.” Winona then deeply thought about the words and the information that she just heard and found out. The world, book and dimension that was created just like the world that they are running into, but then was different. “I do not know if I should tell you all about it.” “What do you mean?” Carlos then whispers to her ears in a teasing tone. Somehow like a devil that is tempting her to choose the darkest path rather than the dark one. “Do you wish to know about it?’ Now clearly a bit toying her and more than just tempting. Winona is left to think and is more than eager to know about the things that was just thrown and said right in front of her. Making Carlos smiles in amusement for having a bit of fun. In this game that she already started with the commandment that is Carlos. What more could she be facing a consequence for? “Tell me, everything.” “Everything you say? I hope you wouldn’t regret anything afterwards, Winona.” “You do not need to w
(DRIPPING BLOOD) “HOW do you like the gift that I gave you?” “The chance or the curse, which one?” “How about, both?” Hands clutching tight into a fist. Winona could not help but fell into a deep anger after just witnessing Ramiel’s past, who is right now is wearing the mask and identity of their book and world’s Kyle. The identity that shouldn’t be his, yet fate and what’s written in the book of their world said it all. “Ramiel.” “Tsk! Why am I sensing from you that one day you will put a sword to that person’s neck and demand for a compensation of stealing this world’s original Kyle?” “Compensation? I do not think I have the liberty to do such a thing.” “I see.” The bit of doubts that crosses Carlos mind. Along with it is that tiny piece of fear that he couldn’t explain why. For the reason that if what he just said is the truth and currently what’s running inside Winona’s mind, one way, or probably not, Winona might regret it. Regret of ever thinking of taking the life of t
(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
