(ANGEL OF DEATH)
“LET US SEE ABOUT NOW?”
Asking, yet rather declaring an inevitable dread and a danger for blood and very kill. HE flips the card into the air as HE catches it upon HIS other hand and all the while as HE imitates Chester’s cat's smile, HE whispers.
“Smart more or not? Whatever it is, you are making your own game, Arthur.”
Whispering his name as HE giggles in the end. The card that HE holds flips unto the side of its very face as the prominent number of the roman and the image are presented. HE sat at his throne as HIS looking towards ‘his’ mirror where he watches and somehow guarded in between, yet unto a glance and for a while as HE looks at the card within HIS hand, HE reminded.
“Not a crown, nor the
(BLOOD NIGHT) “HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAY.” “THANK YOU, RAIN.” One, two, three. Someone started to count. Four, five, six. No one is around. Seven, eight, nine. Their words and the very tone of like a whispering lullaby is hunting, yet ringing a painful heartache from within. Then finally at ten, no one could hear as no one is near, to the peculiar empty palace, yet in the shadows are guarding and observing. He draws a smile as he looks at the open doors of the deep chamber and below where a cry, but a tone of disobedience that is the price with a consequence of torture is there for him to hear. With the very familiarity of the voice that reaches his ears and the inevitable and predicted predicament of things, he whispers. “Well, well, well. They took everything
(INTO THERED SKY) “SAY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A DEAL WITH ME?” With an evil smile and a tempting aid, yet rather a deal Clay could not resist, and to the desperation to save the girl he dears more than anything to this very world. His eyes dim in their color as the beating anger that for a second collapses with hopeless rings back and more, he asks. “If you can give me what I wanted, then I’ll gladly be of your service.” Clicking his tongue as a sinister smile crosses Arthur’s face, he confirms by a spell yet rather in a gesture and immediately with a snap of his finger. His chains break as he falls weakly onto the cold floor where he coughs blood, yet forcedly stood upon his knees to face him, where he asks once more.
(THE BIG BAD WOLF) SILENCE AND EERINESS. That’s what surrounds her realm and is very void. To the ticking clocks and the mirrors that surround her throne room. She slowly fans herself as she calls his name. “Arthur.” Gently, yet in a mix of a warning and a reminder. She who knew him all his life, the one who took him together with HIM from the night and every day of his execution, where his very life is destined as a tool for the both of them. She who knew everything about him, and him who cannot hide a single thing from her. She notices his presence as she always does, whereupon her call, he stops and turns his head back answering. “What can I do for you, Chie?” Calling her with her name as honorifics never settles for the both of them. She
(CURSED) PLAYINGthe symphony of Mozart’s ‘Rage of the Queen of the Night’, HE smiles as HE satisfyingly embraces the meaning of the piece. As each pluck and tone of the piece signifies the games and the encircled paths of the played lives of the people within the current book, HE’S playing against him. To the manipulation of the other, the games that are springing and fast, and the very sins that are creeping their way and worst towards the prominent one’s hearts. Rage could not describe what HE is feeling right now as the very sin of wrath is the sin HE could not accept. To the contradicting emotion from the smile, HE bares the perfect music reflected it all. “LUST, GREED, GLUTTONY, ENVY, SLOTH, WRATH, and PRIDE.” Whispering the name of the sin that repre
(BEHIND THOSE EYES) HUMMINGthe eerie song and the dreadful lock of the piece of music that is unknown, yet puts the horror and chill right down the core of anyone who will hear it sings. She slowly walks into the marble floor echoing her voice to every corner of the mansion, as the place welcomes her with coldness, dimly lighted ambiance, and its very emptiness which she loves and he dwells upon. Now coming into the warmth and the light of the bright flame and towards the room where the luxurious interior of a rich family stands. He is waiting for her, along with the fireplace where he sits comfortably unto the couch of her claimed the throne, and where she stops standing gracefully and greeting. “I’m here, J-K!” giggling as she pla
(SOULS) “ARE YOU UP TO IT, ARTHUR?” Requesting, yet rather commanding, the truth and the spin of life, death, and reincarnation that they are all playing as the pun of the two Gods that are playing, yet the other did not know nor has the idea off. HE who is sitting unto his throne. HE who took him out from death. HE knows everything as HE is the very beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega. With HIM to whom his life revolves in between the truth and lies, his fate and path, and the inevitable things that he needed to face forward. He smiles as he replies. “Born as a twin, yet not. Under the same night and sky, where she is the heavens blessing as I am the hells curse. All but the truth, the lying lies in between. Do I have a choice?” Provoking
(FACADE) FAÇADE. The words mean someone wearing a mask, a false reality someone is pretending to be. A lie and the very untrue theme of someone who wanted to hide something or be somebody else they want to be yet they could not. To the human realm, in human nature and the very freedom of choice, God gifted mankind, with HIS love and unmeasurable patience to his creations will one who is wearing a mask can conceal the darkness that he had inside? What if one would tell that wearing one is for the sake of the many? Is the white lie still considered as a sin? “Then what is the real good from evil?” The question that’s repeating many times now inside Aaron’s mind. With his innocent, yet a tainted reality and the very concept of good and evil. He is the very reflection and image of the forsaken child that somehow is abandone
(ABANDON) BORN with the ability that is deemed to be a curse and rather as a blessing. Aaron’s young mind is already fed with the facts and very reality that his life is nothing, but a curse and should not even be gifted to live in the first place. With his fate and destiny that forsaken him, where all that he ever cares for and loves abandons him. Left him with nothing, but a cold shudder, with their suffering and deaths that is blame unto him. He learns to adapt as he made himself strong, by staying out of everyone’s sight. As he only needed is himself and by being alone in the shadows and very safe darkness were into the corner of his created haven, he is safe, and where everyone is safe from him. Spent his life, hiding and sneaking as camaraderie, and someone to call as a friend doesn’t exist in his mind. He lives by himself in isolation as no one 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
