(THE FOUR DOLLS) “TELL me about it.” Emie teases that Winona knew about. With a sigh and deep, Winona sips the tea from her cup looks at Emie in a warry way, and smiles. “Enough with the teasing game, Emie.” Emie then giggles. Showing her other side that no one has ever seen or known about her, except the three dolls who are just like her. Opposite to her usual nature as it never occurred nor she even showed that ins of attitude from the past. She ends up smiling in a sinister way and somewhat provoking Winona with her taunting way of words. “Come on Winona, loosen up a bit. Why don’t you enjoy the moment while it still lasts?” She pertains to the little time that they could spend freely together and like this. Or so she thinks. “I didn’t know that you are believing in fantasy, Emie.” Winona cuts her fun, reading her mind and this silly old game added by her words that don’t have any weight nor truth to them. “You above the four of us
(THE SCHEMING FOURTH) “BY the way Emie,” Winona calls out, interrupting the current flow of things just before they both decided to meet the other two. “If I remember it correctly. Pauleen has a twin, right? And that twin is?” The thought draws a sinister smile on Emie’s face. “Hmmm…” Emie teases, which Winona reads from her mind and sees from her face. The kind of amusement that she hated a bit about Emie and right now. “What do you think?” She throws the question back at Winona, teasing her once more, and made Winona express her dismay by clicking her tongue and showing it on her face. “Still not enough playing?” Winona disses her, and Emie in turn laughs amusedly and said. “But the real question here is, who do you think Pauleen remembers as her twin?” The big question. After all, in this loop and the current time that they are into. A thing and two, and might as well, everything is changed from the original persona
(ENVIOUS PAST) “THE ARCANAS.” Pauleen whispers, along with the memories of her past that she remembers and particularly right now. “Just how long should I be in the shadows of the Maiden who everyone’s eyes are only set towards?” Her words of jealousy. Feeding the sin of envy that is all along planted within her core as the dark part of the whole and the half. “Just how long should I play this game?” Her taunting voice that marks the deal that she took. No one knew, but only she believes it. Walking down the spiral stairs and arriving at the door where she put all her left light and purity. “Pauleen or Gennivier? Which one is the real me, again?” She wonders, giggling in a sinister way while playing with the thought that in truth is neither one of her true identity. “Well, well, well.” Whispering, she smiles, as she opens the door and greeted by the memory of those innocent days. “ARCANAS?” She asks wondering about the name
(A BIT OF THE EERIE WORDS) “PAULEEN.” An eerie tone and voice echoes in the space and dimension that only exist if one of ‘them’ allows the other to enter. “Poor girl, or is she?” The question that echoes in the throne room where the lights casted the shadows from each corner. And the ambiance of the entire place is screaming the darkness and light where everything started. “Can I ask you one question?” A wish, yet rather a demand that she wanted to know. With a smile from the ‘being’ whose eyes are fix towards the mirror that shows everything of what HIS puppets are currently doing. HE giggles, and whispers. “What do you want to know now, Chie?” HE drops her name. The Mistress of time. The current ruler of space and dimension that HE created, along with the other who created everything out from the original that HE made. “Well, I am just wondering.” Chie teases and a bit.
(HUNTED FALL) “Well, well, well. How far can your envy take you? Shard of the shard soul, Pauleen?” HIS voice echoes right into the winds that carry it and travels it into the current book, world, and dimension. Yet, it only ended passing the attention of the burning jealousy of the pure dark shard soul of Aries holder. “HOW long? Maybe for a while?” Pauleen asks herself in a deep and eerie tone. With a wide and sinister smile drawn to her face and standing right in front of the closed door that will lead her into that specific place. “I hate to admit it, but I need to come clean to myself. The envy that I felt for you is all the needed spice to make the perfect masterpiece that this world needed.” Her twisted mind. Her played memories and past are mixed and added with the moments and scenes that weren’t there in the first place. All to create one dark ball of soul that is a key to ‘his’ revival and the door to that world to be opened. “Should I
(THE REAL ONE) “SUCH A SIGHT.” Farah whispers, while looking at her target, one of the four direction, but only the dark side of the two and twins that she is truly seeking. “Should I interrupt her little world right now?” She asks herself, while looking outside the building where Pauleen just enters and currently been dwelling with the past that is a bit twisted than what the real events from the past really happened. “Well then, I guess I just have to wait.” She then decided. All while Pauleen’s eerie smile is still drawn and into the past that she truly believes. Where it goes. “THE MINOR ARCANA’S. Pauleen in the eyes of the younger twin Gennivier whispers. While looking and intently to the deck of cards that she will never be able to use, nor to hold. But then, a whispering voice from deep within her is telling her to do the exact opposite of what she shouldn’t do. ‘Take it. You can have it. Just a touch and everything will begin.’
(WHISPERS) “GENNIVIER?” Farah whispers, asking about the personality that her current target is manifesting right now. “That’s right, it is both of them.” She then smiles in a sinister way. “Just how many minutes more?” As she counts the time, looking at her watch and staying at bay to her place and location while waiting for her target to come out. “There she is.” A cunning smile then forms on her face, as Pauleen, the dark and pure side of the twin came out from the old building of the University. With the pleased smile and calm demeanor on her face. “Should I, or?” Farah wonders. Getting a bit excited of what’s running inside of her mind. The want that suddenly knock inside her mind and gave her that uncanny thought. “I guess, it will not hurt anyone if I will take a peek.” She dwells in her desire, but not neglecting her assignment. With
(WHISPERS WILLOWS) AN old willow blows an eerie wind. Somewhat delivering a whispering message of taunting and dread that everyone should take heed upon. But then, the words, the whispers and the letter that it brings, somewhat doesn’t belong in the current world and not even from the previous loops of Death Reincarnate. “Well, shall we meet our master and God?” Farah giggles in a devilish way. Then draws a sinister smile while somewhat asking for a permission not towards the still sealed holder right in front of her, but to the target that she should be dragging to their meeting point. “Then I shall see you very soon, Pauleen.” She bids a temporary farewell, for she had no right to wake the sleeping beauty nor disrupt the flow of time that HE had written. She then draws a pentagram of escape that only the offspring of the two destined souls can only have. She immediately found herself in a fair distance to her real target who in her little spoiled world.
(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
