Sarah Codache
My left arm poorly hurts. I can feel that my skin was getting sore, and it was like falling apart. My hips twisted to avoid losing my balance. It made me moved backward in depth. I breathed in deep air when accumulating the pain I felt. When I glanced at my palm, I saw my blood disappeared. Its baffling disappearance did not bother me anymore. The enigmatic feeling of getting applaud by a spiteful magical force brought no issue, and it seemed that this implied my uniqueness as who I am.
When I stood in the middle of the airy road, surrounded by equipped men, the branches that kept swaying on my back individually captured them. They screamed for help with the pain they felt as those tiny thorns slowly went deep into their skin. Their eyes were reddish, looking towards my ocean blue eyes, probably asking for a release.
When I stared at them for a long time, I can see the pain they
Wake LouchetteThe guards surrounded me as we walked towards the place where our head wants to see me. I haven't chained after all, and this made me feel safer. It sighed thought, weighing how these people trusted me with not escaping. I fixed my collar, and with confidence, I entered Mr. Steeven's office, adept in standing right in front of him.The guard spread away and positioned themselves in every corner of this spacious office with only a single table. I faced the head without thinking about the negative things that he will say. Precisely, I knew he was going to mention the punishment.I stood up straight, looking at his back as he was facing the city through the one-sided transparent glass."I did not expect that you would be that stubborn to follow the commands for our security. You were only thinking about yourself, not the companies dignity." He started th
Sarah CodacheI felt the heaviness of my heart while seeing this man's teary eyes looking at me. It made me feel guilty for not knowing who he was. His words stuck in my chest, muttering a painful affection every time his eyes kept staring at my blank eyes. His face was full of questions towards me, and I can't stop thinking about the reasons why.I don't know him, but his presence was poking my heart that he has something to do with my life before.There's no need to ponder. I don't need to force myself to think that we have connections before. Maybe this man knew me, and possibly he does not. His colleague captured me lately, so there's a greater chance that he is one of my enemies.I allowed them to capture me. Besides, I have done my duties this time.I stood up straight and wiped my false conscience away. I raised my head while glarin
Sophia CodacheWith a heavy chest, I walked around my sister's room, remembering our memories every time I glanced at those spots where we had fun together before. The things inside her room remained untouched.It's been a long time since Sarah left us, and I can't stop thinking about how she is doing right now. Does she have enough food to eat? Do they take good care of her? We have no idea about what those doctors did to my sister.All we knew was, she's not around anymore.Before, I agreed to let Sarah be with them. Honestly, she had nothing to do with this family. Sarah doesn't know about life at all! In short, she is useless in the eyes of many. And the struggling part was, I kept on asking myself whether to agree with them or not.I sat on the corner of the bed, facing the huge hole. I sighed when I remembered that time when mom scolded me for n
It was raining, and the clouds were shining in gray. The squelching sound of my footsteps collided with the rain's pattering droplets as I looked down the road, feeling unsure. While I held my backpack as striking my way home, the rain showers kept slipping on my skin. I didn't bring an umbrella, but I wasn't worried about my health. I am used to bathing myself in the rain.I was going home this time from school. The atmosphere was dead in there. It doesn't feel like a learning environment.The classrooms were small. The students were little, and the environment was far from being innovative.The road became narrower as the distance from the house went nearer, and the only thing that entertained my sight was the trees at both sides. These were following the direction of the heavy rain with the ranging wind.And for one more time, this calm and peaceful feeling brought by the scenery gave
Sarah CodacheWalking within this capacious building to nowhere was such boring and toxic. People right here would not allow me to see the outside world once again. Even though I pleaded with the guy who captured me to join, he disagreed. He told me that he doesn't want to get fired just because of following my plea. I sighed, realizing that my decision to go with him the last time was a wrong move.Two guards were at my back. They were following where I go, even when I had to take my necessities. I felt that the people in this goddam building were trying to tie my neck. Kitchen workers were hindering my stomach from eating the food I want. That guy with pores restricted my will to stay outside too long from the room where I temporarily lived.Ugh! I have no freedom at all!"Excuse me, miss, Christian is looking for you." One of the guards in a black suit surprisingly blocked m
Few months passed, and I was still here inside my room. Ever since Christian left this place, he hasn't come back yet. Workers here gave me food thrice a day, and that was it. They didn't even initiate to let me out at least once a week. I felt too exhausted by just staying here without anything to do aside from watching those people in white clothes passing by my room. Every time I saw them, they looked hurry. Going there, and here. These people might have something urgent to do every day. Well, thanks to this transparent glass on one side of this room. It somehow gave me a bit of fun here.I got up from the bed and brushed my hair with my bare fingers. I yawned. I felt tired even though I didn't do anything throughout these days.With my eyes half-opened, my legs were weak as I went near the waters at my right. The splatting sound of these waterfalls gave the waters underneath a more crystal clear appearance. I kneeled and looked at my ref
Lance SpillerWaking up with this painful feeling I had in my chest made me feel useless as days were passing, and I did nothing aside from staying inside this private hospital at the company. I was always forcing myself to work on anything that may come to my mind. I did this to avoid getting drowned in my negative thoughts. Every time I draw on scratch paper paired with a graphite pencil placed inside a small square that I asked from my teammates, I felt relieved. I can also adjust the pencil according to the length that you wished to have. But the most important thing was, the sensation of being vocal in your way about how you had been feeling was the most satisfying part.I was sitting right here beside the corner of my bed while making sort of scribble art. I can't fix my posture properly because of the injury I had with my chest. The unusual feeling of getting hit by a bullet kept flashing in my mind. It was dist
Sophia CodacheI brought with me my backpack while striking my way to school. Twirling with me my pen between my fingers while my other hand placed inside the pocket of the skirt I wore, I groaned. I blew an air after roaming my eyes around the gloomy skies above me. Everything around felt boring. There was no sense of excitement at all. The environment I am living in, the school, the road, the birds, the wind, all those things that I always encounter, it felt irrelevant.My life revolves around waking up, eating, going to school, going home, and vise versa. The feeling of loneliness every time I opened my notes at home is killing me.Seeing those leaves that flew at every corner of this road, the wind clothed around my arms. I stilled, wondering about this strange feeling I felt right now. I was about to start walking again when I heard footsteps from the back. I swiftly turned around to see
A panic gripped the whole metropolis, spanning all planets in the other dimension, after the unexpected growth of enormous yellow flowers surrounding them, which emitted a disagreeable and potentially lethal stench that caused people who inhaled it to perish. The odor may be found in all cities, including the provinces and other adjacent towns, as well as in the countryside. Infants were sobbing, and their moms were doing all they could to rescue their children. People scurried away from the scene, seeking refuge in the surrounding buildings and infrastructures.Others who were unfortunate enough to be the first ones in were denied the chance to knock on the glass doors, appealing with others who had already inside to please open the doors for them. There was nothing they could do except keep hammering on the glass doors, appealing with everyone who came in to open the doors for them.
In the midst of the clouds, a curious shadow of an unidentified monster emerged. The heavens parted, revealing a route that led them to an unending existence. When they continued to search for it for a little longer, the sun's beams emitted bright light that caused them to take a step back and turn their gaze away. Because the brightness was dazzling their eyes, they were avoiding opening their eyes as much as they could."Ack!" yelled Nover as he pulled his body away from them. "What type of unidentified beast is this once more?!" he asked, shouting.Cherish, Flora, and Larch congregated on one side of a massive three-tiered structure where it caters to a great number of leaves, providing them with a safe haven from the limited access to sunlight they were getting. Cassius approached Hanaele from behind and dragged he
Hanaele was catching her breath as she arrived at Cassius’ location. All of them stared at her presence like a walking dead people, especially those that argued against Cassius a while ago. Aided by her comrades at her back, they were the Esperer warriors that helped them fight against the monster trees. They were all exhausted and their eyes looked tired. Larch came to ponder about their situation. He didn’t expect them to get tired like this. It was rare to their perspective to see these legendary warriors in this facile appearance they had.Cassius welcomed them with a question, “Where is Sophia?” His question made Nover bitter. He sighed, looking away and thought of negative things about them. Inside his thoughts, he already knew that they were biased to Sophia. He s
The appearance of monster trees was swerving towards the area that Agila and Esperers were unable to mitigate. The pouring of rain made it tough for them to counter the attacks and shoot the bearing. Cherish fought with Larch and Flora, eradicating the showering debris away from them. Hanaele carried Sophia with her bare arms that Sophia's weight was not a matter for her. The rest of the Agila squad members and Esperers helped each other in escaping away from the disastrous scene. It was risky to fight anymore. The monster trees increased their number from three to more than a five, appearing randomly below the land. "Retreat!" Cassius, running with his horse together with his comrade and Nover, arrived. Cherish used her umbrella to protect Larch and Flora when these two can no longer sustain their strength. Their bodies were wet and shivering in coldness as they ran away from the falling debris towards Cassius' cu
The splatting sound of woods bumping towards the rocks, trunks, and anywhere it gets hit occupied the whole place. The sudden breaking noise of branches and the sharp clattering of metal swords gave disturbance to Nover's hearing. These phenomena made him a hard time concentrating on fighting against the tree monster alone.In addition to that, seeing his fellow squad members died in front of him made his desire to fasten up. However, the exhaustion of thinking for revenge caused a decline in his duty to execute the offense well. He constantly covered his ears from time to time while his eyes were wandering around him. He felt uneasy that he failed to fire his launcher on-point. His forehead wrinkled as he closed his eyes in exasperation of absorbing too many events on his brain.He can't even make a step from the middle of
Sophia rolled on the ground, and she accidentally discarded her sword. She kept avoiding the attacks of this giant monster tree they were facing. She almost lost her breath every time she was making an attack, and she knew that this was her weakness. As a result, this incident brought her to this current situation.Sophia curved her body inward, and she looked like she was embracing herself. Flora used her strings to support Larch's triangular attack to counter more than two branches at one slice."Flora! Watch out!" She urged at Flora even though her back was still on the ground, feeling the pain due to her body's impact. Through her help, Flora successfully dodged more attacks from the monster tree.While Sophia was trying to overcome the pain
From the eyes of a man who sees his girl safe, there was a smile painted on his mind’s embrace. Vince was certain that even though he had to fight those branches alone, at least he felt satisfied, seeing Cherish escaped from the scene. His eyes stuck in her direction until she had landed above a normal tree’s branch.When Vince saw Cherish looking at his state, he felt a sigh of relief even though he was unsure that she noticed him sightseeing her. Meanwhile, when those branches were going to attack him again, Vince rolled on the ground and avoided the impact. He quickly stood up to condition his mind.Vince twisted his body as he dodged all the monster branches around him. Just like what happened to him a while ago, he turned in different directions while spreading his arms to fire the bullets toward
Larch headed the entire Agila squad as the members followed him from his back as they strike their way towards the west. The clinging of their weapons placed at each members' designated sides was echoing in the ears of the crowd. Since only the winds' direction made their capes swaying, they can feel the drop of humidity as it touched their sense."Hayah!" Larch expressed towards his horse while striking the rope to make the speed accelerate. The rest of the Agila did the same.Sophia aligned herself at the back of Larch while Flora and Nover distributed themselves at her both sides. Cherish was alone in the line. She felt emotionless, and Vince can notice it. She seemed in deep thoughts that he wanted to figure it out. He kept glancing at her almond round eyes, which shrunk as they reacted due to the current weather. When Vince's eyes spotted Cherish's wound at the side of her forehead once again, his forehead furrowed. He tried analyzing C
Vince Ski and Cherish Annagesini ran with their horse towards the spot where the rest of their squadmates were resting, including their squad leader Larch Laverens. When they heard a huge commotion that happened in the direction from the horizon, they immediately went back to their ways. Nover was the first one to notice the incident. So, he went a few distances ahead from the two."Nover, what do you think that was?" Cherish asked in the middle of accelerating their speed. Cherish is also part of them. She has round almond brown eyes, curly tips hair in a ponytail, slightly straight eyebrows, and peach lips. She appeared while also wandering around the woods."The sounds of the arrows, bows, chains, swords, and strings came from that direction. The splashing of woods and the direction of the wind are different. I am unsure about this, but those things I observed were exactly the same sounds I heard every time the graduated forces foug
