Hasty Feisty ch. 36 | UNCLOAK
I'm still inside my room for days now with no phone, yet they still give me daily meals, but even so, I have no appetite and energy to do anything.Everything that happened in the last two days almost made me lose myself. I wasn't taking care of myself like usual, my heartbeat always racing, sleep-deprived, and most of all, I lost interaction with everyone, as if I wanted to talk to them anyway.There are still no updates from Mask and Hasen also.I stood up from my bed to face the vanity mirror on my desk, finally deciding to maybe fix myself today, but I winced as I saw myself in front of it, looking so groggy and just out of place."God... 'm so fucking ugly. What happened..." I thought as I ran a hand through my scalp and gripped it with stress.I bent down to grab the hairbrush that fell on the floor, but I noticed a small drawer hanging on my vanity. Out of curiosity, I opened it, and what I saw made my eyes widen.A bottle of unfamiliar drugs and pills, possibly some poisonous.
Hasty Feisty ch. 37 | YOUR MEMORY IS ECSTASY
FLASHBACKS"Azazel, you're here!"I gleefully smiled while running up to him. We're both inside the nearest park, just two blocks away from my street."Oh, hi," he smiled as I sat beside him on one of the park's benches.The view in front of us is breathtaking, with a beautiful sunset illuminating the pristine lake below, creating the ideal ambiance for the two of us."The sunset today is more vibrant than usual," Azazel told while I hugged my knees and nodded. I know how he's fond of sunsets."Yeah, reminds us of someone sometimes." I said while my gaze was fixed on the scenery.Azazel nodded, keeping his gaze on the fiery sunset."Does it remind you of her?" I asked, expecting that certain answer, preparing myself for it."Yeah," he bitterly admitted, followed by silence.A melancholic smile formed on my face as I nodded slowly."It's been five years, Fiona is gone." I muttered while picking up the flowers on the side of the benches."Yeah," Azazel said, followed by silence. "I miss
Hasty Feisty ch. 38 | REMINISCE ME
Five days have passed.I'm inside Araoluwa's mansion. It was like Regio's. I have my own room, daily meals served, basic needs, etc.And most of all, I'm back in Araoluwa.Right now, I'm laying down on my bed, just staring at the ceiling while mourning Azazel's death since today is the day of his funeral."Allura, are you ready?" Amanda asked as she knocked on my door.I just nodded, even if it was the complete opposite.I exited my room and followed Amanda downstairs, where I saw Raven, Goro, and the other members, all dressed in formal black attire, waiting in the living room.All of us then went inside the car, with Raven driving, Goro in the shotgun seat, and Amanda in the backseat with me."Allura," Amanda softly called me.Allura didn't hear Amanda call her as she was too busy staring outside the window, and she soon then blinked back to reality and looked at her."O-oh sorry, what was that?""I'm sorry, I'll just give you more time. I was just about to ask you if you needed any
Hasty Feisty ch. 39 | MOMENTARILY HOME
"Allura, Good morning! Are you comfortable in your new room?"Amanda smiled at me as I entered the dining hall with the other members."Hi, good morning, and yeah." I merely smiled as I sat beside her.Everyone at the dinner table was just talking and eating, peacefully sharing laughs and conversation. I smiled, thinking how similar it was to Regio yet so different, but I shook my head, trying to forget about them.I can't help but wonder what they're up to now. After all, it's been more than five days and they're still in silence. I heard no updates or anything, and it's starting to worry me.As they say, silence is dangerous."I miss this. Although a lot has changed here, as long as the same people are here, it's still the same." Amanda smiled as I faced her."Yeah, even though I wasn't really a part of Araoluwa, hearing stories from Azazel about you all made my anger about crimes subside at least. You made me feel like I was really a part of it. You never left me out." I replied, n
Hasty Feisty ch. 40 | FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE, FORBIDDEN LOVE (PART 1)
"Good morning, Callista!"The morning dew, melancholy violin music, and birds chirping in the side alley set the tone for the small village named Callista, which is one of Japan's villages inside a district, a rural area. A village where many people celebrate happy occasions with endless tables of food, remnants of memories from festivals that bring every villager's heart closer, families bond with smiles and laughter, crystal clear lakes and ponds that serve as tourists who feed fishes, with the perfect weather, blue skies, and clouds that almost never get dark when it's night time, perfect scenery of the sunrise and sunset, just the perfect serene of Village Callista.One place always stands out, and it's the main church in this village.Every weekend, holy mass is held, and the majority of people attend with their hearts closer to their saints, gods, and beliefs, causing money to flow quickly.The church is regarded as the most beautiful place in the Village of Callista, and it is

It's now the next day after your birthday, and it's Saturday, meaning, it's the weekend. There was a mass, and people greeted the pastor as they were leaving the church, and the mass ended just a few minutes ago. "Good morning, father." "Greetings, bless you." People left the church as soon as the mass had ended, but some stayed to send more prayers and meditate. Me, my father, and my mother smiled as they walked through the church entrance, bidding goodbye to the people who had attended the mass, and I stood behind my mother in my white floral dress, shying away from the crowd while hiding behind her. "Thank you so much, Family Marin, especially Fernando Marin. Such a lovely family, may God bless you." The people said as they praised the three of us. "Thank you for attending this Saturday's mass as well." My parents bowed. My father nudged me to bow, which I immediately obeyed. I bowed as my gaze fell to the floor, and I remained there until I heard footsteps walking into the c

6 years later..."Good night, Callista!"Six years have passed since I met the six boys, and my mother shouted a greeting as I replied back with a smile. Everything was still the same, the church was renovated just a bit, still a peaceful village, and everything was fine, yet my father wasn't still there for my birthdays in my fifteen years in life, so I got used to itTomorrow is my sixteenth birthday."Good night, ma!" I shouted."Night, I'll leave you here in the church for a while, okay?" My mother said as she kissed my forehead and exited the church. I just sighed and got used to being left alone in the church, to the point where the darkness and eerie atmosphere no longer frightened me.I felt my eyes slowly drift off as I lean my head on the pew until I heard footsteps and my eyes shot open."Who's there?!" I stood up and checked the surroundings in the church."Allura," a voice called and my heart almost dropped, until I saw Zacharias."Zach, it's you. You scared me." I huffed
Hasty Feisty ch. 43 | FORBBIDEN KNOWLEDGE, FORBBIDEN LOVE (PART 4)
A few days passed, and the church was painfully quiet, the place was getting dirty. The holy mass is still held, yet both of my parents are absent, and I had to be the one attending.My mother is in the church's room, which is also considered a confession room, on the second floor all day. Even in the past few days, I felt worried every minute. I have to walk from my house to the church to knock on the door and bring her food every day.One time, I caught her creaking the door open, but her eyes widened as she saw me standing just outside with a tray of food, and my heart cracked as I saw her appearance; she has a black eye, bruises everywhere, fuzzy hair, dark circles under her eyes, and she was extremely thin."M-Mama..." I sobbed as I put the tray of food on the floor and hugged her."What did papa do to you?" I cried while wrapping my arms around her waist."Allura, I'm sorry. Callista, baby. Let me call you that... I'm sorry, Callista, come back." She said with a hoarse, cracked

Hasty Feisty ch. 100 | THE GLIMPSE OF THE END
Any person would freak out if they see this church, even the village itself. Anyone wouldn't dare to go here. But Zacharias and Allura? Why would they be? This place is what they call a beauty, yet none of them admitted that. They kept it to themselves like a secret. Just like before. As to why Zacharias regretted things now. He was indeed too late. "Let's enter?" I asked. "Let's go to the garden," but a different thing was in his mind. "A garden?" I tried to remember what it was. "I'll be left here alone, Ms. Marin. I'll just be waiting here." Willbert said and I just nodded but kept I phone with me. As Zacharias and Allura entered the church, he opened the rusty wooden double door, directing them to the church's garden. There, it shows an old patio, a rusty table and chairs, a cracked small stone fountain, a fence filled with webs now, and those fairy lights still hanging on the tree's branches. My eyes widened as I remember all of these in one place. Why was knowing my p
Hasty Feisty ch. 99 | BACK TO THE FORGOTTEN YOU
"She'll never arrive ten minutes early." Toshiro said as he looked at his wristwatch. Zacharias and the others have been waiting inside the van for over thirty minutes. They complain about the time, but they're always too advanced of arrival. Just like any other business trip, they'd all gathered to check that place discussed in the meeting the other day. "Ms. Marin is here," Kanji said, addressing me... formally. "Just came in time." I thought as I greeted each of them and also introduced Willbert to them, the secretary. As Zacharias continued to attempt to avoid her, he couldn't help but notice this one new behavior she developed. Allura never arrive early yet late, but instead, she's always arriving at the exact time. He just gave me a nod and a formal handshake as I then walked out to ride in my car to just follow them to the place. "Now I know the reason why you kept on rejecting Dias Corporation's offer," Kanji muttered. As the van began to drive toward their destination
Hasty Feisty ch. 98 | YOU, US, BACK TO SUMMER
"Mom, I'm sorry, I couldn't convince that large company to continue the partnership." I said on my phone while I'm currently in my room, and Eri is out of town for business matters, so it's me who's handling the company for now. Eri kept silent for a moment, and my brows furrowed as I looked at my phone screen to check if the call has ended. "Mom? Are you still there?" "Oh, yeah. I'm still here," Eri mumbled, and her tone was monotonous. "Is everything alright there? I should tell Secretary Willbert to escort you there. I can handle the company here." I said, sounding worried. "No, it's fine. I've already spoken to the company you've been mentioning for the past few days, too." Eri said. "Really?" My eyes shone. "I'll surely give you half of my shares when we continue the partnership, but of course, I need to give an outlook to their employees first. We can't just trust the human resources team sometimes." Eri really had no energy left ever since that day Allura asked her abou

They say everything that was done in haste will go to waste.Ever since he saw a glimpse of her, everything felt like reverting from the start.Last week, Friday night, the same exact night where he saw her again. No, he couldn't be mistaken. It was really her.He's at his firm's office, sitting in his office while gazing outside the glass window from the fifty-seventh floor."Sir Sano," one of his employees called.Expecting to sign a fresh set of documents on his desk, Zacharias turned in his chair and tapped his desk."Toshiro, just place them," Zacharias told in almost a whisper."How's your medication?" Toshiro was actually about to ask this. Not bombard Zacharias with tons of paperwork again.Zacharias just nodded and rubbed his eyes as he yawned. "It's alright.""Alright? I've heard from the doctors that you've been skipping your medication." Toshiro said."Then I'll take one today. You can go now, thank you." Zacharias simply said."Wait. Have you told Kanji about the new part

"More?"The bartender asked as I was getting myself wasted on the bar's counter."One more shot," I groggily said as my head was lying down on the counter.The bartender looked at me cluelessly at my state. "A heartbreak?""Hell? Fuck no," I scoffed."My bad. Usually the customers who get wasted, slumping themselves down on that counter are going through a breakup. I believe it's a curse now." He joked."Well, I am not. Just fill my glass up... Goddamn," I grunted as I clank my shot glass on the counter."Alright, alright," the bartender said as he hurriedly filled my glass up. I grabbed the glass from him, and he's just standing there as I gulp the shot of gin straight."Ma'am, seems like your phone has been ringing for minutes now," the bartender said as he noticed the constant dings and rings on my phone beside me.I raised my head lazily as I checked my phone with my squinted eyes.74 missed calls from Erianne Dhiore59 missed calls from Zane WilbertAnd more missed calls from my

"It's impressive, Madame Allura, the company in the meeting a while ago backed out of their contract."Secretary Zane Willbert said inside my office, and he's also the secretary of Eri."Yeah," I simply replied while I was busy signing the files."Uhm, do you know that company has been pestering us for almost a month? They kept on insisting on pushing this future plan of theirs and the partnership." Zane informed."Why am I only informed now?" I stopped with my work and looked at him."Madame Dhiore told me not to inform you since she wants the higher positions to handle this. She didn't want to add up more work for you." Zane said."Next time, tell her to have her inform me of every audit that takes place within the company." I commanded."Yes, madame.""Also, madame. Since you refused that company's offer, do you want to move forward with the next company?" Zane asked as he took his iPad out to list information."The background of their company?""They're also a company that focuses

"Madame Allura!"I woke up the next morning feeling nausea washing over me. As soon as I got out of bed, I heard frantic knocks on my door and someone calling me.Fixing my hair and appearance for a bit, I opened the door since it seemed like the maids were calling me in a rush."Secretary Willbert Zane has been calling you. Eight o'clock is close, and you're going to be late for your supposed meeting, madame!" The maids shouted."Fuck," I cursed under my breath."Tell Secretary Zane that I'll be there in thirty minutes," I hurriedly added as I closed the door and proceeded on getting ready.After forty minutes of getting ready, even if I'm told that I'll be finished within thirty minutes, I quickly prep myself and ate at least small portions of breakfast before going out of the house."Ah shit, mom will kill me." I thought. I know that my stepmother Eri is the one that holds the highest position in the company, and of course, there will be times when she needs to take her role. She m

Ten years later..."The rise of Dias Corporation! Cheers!"The workers of Dias Corporation clanked their bottles as they commemorated a special day for the company inside a restaurant."Madame Marin... All of us look up at her hard work." Eri's workers said with genuineness."I never doubt how I grew my daughter. She deserves the position in my company." Eri said as she sipped the glass of wine.After being admitted to the hospital ten years ago, Eri immediately entered my name in her company. Of course, it wasn't that easy. I had to attend therapy, take my prescription every day, and take extra lessons.It was like I was at university again, studying business courses for a brief period of time but also needing to join the civil service and earn a degree in business management to secure the position. Even though Eri, my stepmother, had to cover all of my expenses, it wasn't simple to attend classes while still keeping up with my health."Cheers to Ms. Allura Marin, our general manager

They say, at the end of the day, it's the people who are capable of achieving their wants, dreams, and affords that will only survive.And years later...It's only those people who are sane, and who still have a space in mind for serenity.They think it's okay to survive in this world, but what's engulfing them is the feeling of dread and loneliness as they grow old.It was a mixture of emotions, honestly. It's overwhelming."Kanji, how was it?" Toshiro asked as he entered Kanji's office in his firm.The two knew it was best for the group to disband. They felt like it was the best option. It's a horrendous era for them, and they have to end it.Kanji didn't notice that he was dozing off, so Toshiro had to call his attention thrice. "Kanji?""O-oh," Kanji shook his head. "Sorry, what was that?""I said, how's the convention, a while ago?" Toshiro asked."Ah, it's alright. Just a few errands here and there," Kanji replied as he placed his phone on his office table while turning his phon
