"What a shame, you became like that."
Blanche can't help but to raised a brow on her. The robot learned how to smirk and gave her such intensity that challenged her appeal.
Blanche sashayed in front of her and didn't hesitated to crouched down to leveled with her gaze. She crossed her arms and went close to whispered in her ears.
"What a shame. You can't be like me," she said with a piercing gaze, that's when Blanche saw how Hent's hand balled into fist.
A high-grade robot just like Hent was modeled to be just like Blanche, she was thrilled to learned that at first and she even established their friendship. She was happy to learned that they created someone to looked liked her, because after her family's death Blanche had a hard time connecting to people.
So, she thought the organization did that for her– created Hent, but when she grew older and her perspective about the world widened, she realized they didn't creat
It was no denying that Blanche still cared for Hent like a little sister, but everything's change now and she hoped that whatever she'd do, Hent can understand. After all, she was created to have the ability of a human.As she stared at the twin in separate beds, one has red motif in hers and a glittery guitar that has a burning fake fire on it while the other was designed with green landscapes and butterflies and flowers.Just like how different their personality was, the twin worked and sync in harmony, Crimson loves Forest as much as she did and with just one look, they can succeed. Crimson would automatically do the right thing and be straightened to protect her sister.Crimson was more affectionate, she was never vocal but her action was louder than her voice, it speaks volume and that was enough to connect the two in an invisible string of sisterhood.Blanche hope she could get that same relationship in time wit
"What's in this paper?" Blanche sat on the only sofa in the room, her hand held the paper she snatched from the man."Blanche, please." He touched the bridged of his nose as they both remained quiet.They heard them enter the room and a female voice– Blanche guessed as Doe– talked in a horrifying manner."Is there a ghost here?"Blanche rolled her eyes and rest her back, her hand accidentally swoop a stack of books on the side."What's that?!" They heard them say, Blanche watched as dust flew and disappeared from the air.She focused on one particular journal that was shaded the brightest red from the others. She bend from her seat and picked it from the ground."Don't touch that!" The man pointed at the bright red book on her grip, he did not leave from the small staircase that headed to the shelf. They're in the secret room of Noir, the second Blanche finished counting to three,
Blanche succeeded in taking them to the basement. Bon and Doe exchanged looks as they get down the stairs, following Blanche’s lead.They knew something was wrong, and they knew what Blanche could do. They just never expected that the man Doe grazed with her gun got into their vicinity, more specifically, to the mansion. The security in their vicinity was no joke, Doe monitored and checked everything, and it was a good idea that their mansion was at the center of their made-up forest. It was easy for Hent to maneuver the parameter.However, there's something, a feeling, that stops Doe and Bon from getting harsh with Blanche. After all, that was the last wish given.They turned blind from Blanche’s loopholes just how parents turned a blind eye for their children, and that's just right because when will a teenage girl experience the life of being a teenage girl?Blanche wasn't given that time, she was depriv
Blanche stared at Crimson and Forest as they watched the piled snow outside their window."It's almost Christmas," Crimson said. Her hands were on her chin and she was kneeling from the wooden seat just below their window.Both of them were wearing a scarf and a beret hat and rushed toward the window when they heard that the first snowfall came. Though it was short and it already stopped before they woke up, the twins still opened the windows in their room and watched the white piled in front.As their babysitter, Blanche was obliged to look after them even though Bon and Doe already arrived.But it seemed like they still have unresolved disputes that needed to be settled down and Blanche volunteered to stay because she doesn't have a ride back to the hotel.That includes the jealousy of Doe and the mystery man that got into their mansion. Astolfo hasn't come back and he should know that he brough
Noir's Journal Entry#1 On the car ride back home, Noir counted the seconds passed before he glanced at the girl again on his passenger seat. 1..2..3..4...7 then looked again. Same pose. 1..2..3.. at his 4th count a thought passed in his mind that the child could be an orphan who ran away, he made a mental note to call all the near orphanages in the city after he got home. At 5th, he tried to assess the girl by her image, does a child who looked like 6 or 7 could be that expressionless as her? And silent as she could be? Anyhow, he hope that Zara would accept her because this girl has the thing she likes the most. She has a beautiful doll-like face; a heart-shaped face, white, milky, flawless skin, a small face, a cute button-like nose, black hair, pink, heart-shaped lips, and upturned dark eyes. On 6th, while waiting for the stoplight to turn green, he saw police cars on the other lane, speeding up to the adjacent str
"Is what I did wrong?"The young girl murmured more to herself than to her as she watch all the things in the kitchen get thrown.Her. As in Zara, the wife of Noir.She looked at her with such fury and held her both on her shoulder. "You stupid brat! You don't know what you are doing! Aren't your mother taught you how to cook? What garbage did you put on my plate?! You useless bitch!"The young girl shut her eyes closed as she pushed her with her strong arms away. Her shoulders turned numb immediately and her body is aching all over. A drop of water got on her face and when she opened her eyes, she was already outside the house.Thrown from the window.She tried to stand up and craned her neck on the window sill as she watched Zara put all the mess she made on the trash.Along with the food, the young girl cooked and she called it garbage.A single drop fell on the top of her head
"You said you heard Hent's alarm?"This was the first time Bon heard Doe vexed at the twins. Particularly on Forest, because she was more affectionate than Crimson and Doe knew that all too well, but when she put her hands over her shoulder and tried to push her, a shuffle of feet was heard Bon and Blanche moved on their place.Bon successfully stop Doe by taking her other hand and Blanche held Forest away from her reach."You're hurting the kid," Bon hissed and gave Doe a sullen look. Doe can be impulsive at times especially when someone stopped her work. She was a bit perfectionist, come with her OCD. She got her hands on everything, she wants everything to flow flawlessly and if someone messed her work or forgot to relay something even the tiniest detail, she felt like everything would crumble down, from the start to finish, it was like a domino, when one fell down everyone will follow at least that's what's in her head, but actually,
"Team up with me, then I'll say my name."Blanche's always cleans her ears after bath, but she thought maybe the sound of the rain and the splashing of rainwater made it unable to process what she hears.Even though after what he said, the rain slowed down and the grey clouds were starting to disappear.The man plaster a smirk on his face and watched as Blanche's expression turned into a scowl.She faced him and cross her arms. She shouldn't be challenged by what he proposed, surely, he's just testing the waters before he would dive. Blanche shouldn't let that shake her. "Why? Is your name that exclusive? Are you an actor? Model? Writer?"He laughed and touched his jaw. "Don't you think I look the same just like the one you knew?"Blanche turned to look at the surface water in front of them, the rain completely stopped and somehow the air gave off a very clean smell, it runs through her nostrils and burs
“Never do that again, Blanche.”Blanche nodded, giving in to Hent that she’s wrong on thinking that she could handle all the problems that came in her way alone, sometimes, problems required friends so that you can solve them, just like what Hent said; two can tango.It was in the middle of the night, the moon creepily sought them as Hent and Blanche prepare for the next plan. It’s clear that the vital thing for the organization was not Blanche anymore, it’s Hent, but they learned better, they knew their rotten personality and bad things they did to them, so in order to not have Hent, Blanche arranged that Hent should be taken out of the abandoned building and she’ll be in hiding in the apartment, specifically in the room of Blanche that’s parallel to Ace.She knew how to go there by copying what Astolfo did, peak on the window first, Hent would be shu
Even if Alas looked like a self-centered narcissist, he still has a sense of pity, just a bit though, a tiny bit. For his brother who’s always had the center of attention, for his brother who gets all the love in the world.Alas grew up knowing that he’s not the favorite child, but when their mother died, things take a turn and in just a blink of an eye he was on the room listening to his father as he declared him the next heir of the family’s business.“I won’t let you, Alas,” Ace replied with a stern voice.“Well then.” He walked back to Ace’s bedroom and take a look over the window.“What if I told you that she wants to kill you?”Ace followed him, but his face didn’t move an inch, making Alas conclude that he knew that all along. “How can you do that?” That moment,
“Now that it’s clear Mr. Tassel don’t want to join us, what’s your next plan?”Blanche turned to the computer screen, it was another day and they’re on the abandoned building again, Moss was trying to have a conversation with Blanche while Rat just stood beside the door with his palms buried on his face.It wasn’t like she never told him not to be here ever again, she just told him that his job was done after they got Hent. But Rat doesn’t like that idea, he never talked to Blanche after they got Hent though, it’s always a filler word, sometimes in Moss conversation or in command.Blanche let the poor guy stay. He’s the one who showed them the abandoned place so its just reasonable to let him stay.But one fact surface from all, Blanche thought she could pull Mr. Tassel to let go of the organization and rebel against them, she
As Ace went on to his car with Dog on the passenger seat, he blew air from his rolled-up window and whispered if that’s the thing that his mother wanted.Ace gave it to Alas.Ace’s always the one who gave, Ace protects his brother, Ace loves him, Ace…For years, he has the job of protecting his brother, he had a camouflage and worked at a comedy bar as a jester so that he’ll have a flexible schedule because when Alas needs his help, he shall be there for him no matter what.Because he’s the next leader, the heir to the family, he shall be protected, the family shall put their focus on Alas and trained him to be the next leader, that’s why he always have to do something outside and inside the country, he always have men that observed his surroundings and keep him away from harm, a henchman that would go wherever he wanted him to go.
“Blanche and I were part of a mission to kill your friend,” Misha started, Slidell’s mind wasn’t on the postponed date now, but on the fact that the whole night, Misha opened up to him.He felt like he had a new responsibility to protect, what Misha said and what she’s going to say was something she let him hold, because she trusts him already.“But Blanche didn’t kill him, as what you see. She fell in love with him instead.”Slidell had no idea whose friend she’s talking, not until she continued, that friend… was Ace Crowne.“What?!” He half-shouted and half of the people in the coffee shop turned their heads on them, so he repeated it with a hushed tone,“Why do you want to kill Ace Crowne?”-“She wanted
“Hent, you recognize me now?”It took a few seconds for Hent to reboot, her processor was a bit louder than usual, Blanche could here her CPU running.And it looked so difficult for Hent, because of her other parts still missing, her skin, the narrow fissures, hair and ears, it looked like she was just a standard robot now.After getting her out of the organization, Moss, Rat and Blanche together with Hent went to the abandoned building.The curse place was the perfect hiding place for them, no intruders dared to step out because of the circulating ghost rumors, and no one dared to speak or point on the abandoned building. Seems like people really put the curse in this to the highest level.It’s a cool thing that Rat worked many jobs and have known this. Blanche is not afraid of ghost, she doesn’t believe in one, one could only believe when you first see i
Hent opened her eyes just after the whole lab room lit up.“Who are you?” she saw the lady in all black who entered in the room and step on her platform as unidentified.Blanche couldn’t believe what Hent just said, she was sitting on a silver chair with wires come from her limbs and arm and a lot on her head, there’s plenty of black wires in her head and it’s all connected to the big computer with 2 small ones outside of her platform.She feels so cold, its like something has change but Blanche couldn’t point what that was.Or she could, she just doesn’t want to accept it. As she inched closer to Hent, her metal skin become more evident, it’s like they peeled of her skin, and she’s left with nothing but a white piece of cloth, evidence that she was put to pieces were visible for her skin has a lot of fissures than ever before.
“We only have limited time, are you ready?” Blanche repeated with worry in her voice. Rat’s slicing onions with a butcher’s knife with such mastery and skill, and as if he didn’t heard Blanche from the second time, he turned on the stove and sauté his chopped onions and minced garlic in a pan. The yummy smell didn’t take too long for the whole room to take.“Rachmaninoff.”Rat stopped and watched the spatula fall from his grip. “Blanche.”Blanche crossed her arms and rested the side of her body on the door frame. “Oh, so now we’re saying each other’s name.”Rat turned to the fridge and Blanche heavily sighed. Blanche became worried as soon as she gave him a suitcase full of money the other day on the abandoned building.“This is going to be your payment, you could take i
"If you're going to take your girlfriend to a date, where would it be?"Ace raised his head from the book he's reading to face Slidell.It's all about having a dragon as a pet, he heard Slidell's question, but he's on the part where the dragon caught a robber sneaking in the house, and so he weighed their importance for a moment before taking the time of turning the page to read what's next.Slidell threw a cushion at him, they’re in the living area of his flat, and Ace was sitting on the seat Blanche sat in the morning, with his two feet placed on the coffee table and his nose buried in the book that he found on Slidell's shelf."What?!" Ace caught the blue square cushion that was thrown with just one hand."Who's the girlfriend your referring to?" He closed the book and sat just what Slidell want him to do, he settled forward and put placed his arm on his knee and touch his chin, giving his full attention
