The cold clear water splashed and spattered in different directions as pair of feet owned by humans in different sizes, step on it by walking.
A cute sob intending to suppressed the sound of it are coming from Yui while Nathan was looking around hoping for a slip of opportunity to escape.
Awhile ago, when he was inside the confined room with Yui, he felt a hard and light metal on his chest bumping everytime he'd move. He wondered what it was. As soon as he touched and got it inside his chest pockets, he soon knew it was 2 metal keys, dark in color. He then recognized the other key that it was came from that Bull-guy, hanging from his waist from that time.
He then asked himself why it was on him, he didn't managed to steal it. Then who put it in his pockets? If it's Ox, then why? What his reason?
Looking at the other one. He knew it was on his shackles.
Now, as he was walking, he was thinking how he can break the rope t
Dust flews in the air, small stones coming from the debris falls as Zitrey started to walk out of it. Her pair of obsidian eyes are looking around in this dim underground. She saw a person full of disgusting blood laid on the shallow water, two other person's holding their wound that was now in excessive bleeding. One person on her northeast was holding a huge bag that in one glance she already knew what is it. Then one Bald-guy, a face that she already saw years ago, named Zodia, holding a handgun while aiming at the three persons on her northwest. All eyes were on her, flabbergasted.Her gaze was fixed on Nathan who was standing together with Nikka and a guy that she doesn't yet recognized, it must be Yui. Then eyes instantly stared down on Nathan arms that holding both of person's waist beside him. Zitrey felt this strange feeling creeping inside. Moreover, in this distance, at the glance of her sharp eyes like a bird called hawk, vividly saw the small
Light grayish smokes soar up in the night sky coming from the south gate where the fire was already extinguished. A group of red and blue light flashes on top of the police cars thats parks on the rocky road in front of North Gate of the hide-out of the Thugs. A people in uniform, we're in discussion while investigating the dead bodies on the ground.“Major!”Kate quickly fixed her stares to the subordinates who called her.“How is it?” she asked.“We already have checked every corner of this place.” His head suddenly shakes in disbelief. “There are no survivors left. Everyone here is dead. 88 persons in total, plus the unrecognizable person underground. They have the same fatal wound that killed them. A shot in the head!”Kate eyes bulged, she was then in deep thoughts. “Why Zeth's friend sent me some messag
A Little girl in a pink frilly dress, with a big ribbon tied in her long silky hair, giggled while sitting on the swing that was pushed by a beautiful woman in blond curly hair, pleasantly laugh while watching her daughter enjoying their time together.“Was my Sweet Andrea enjoying?” the woman asked in such serene and soft voice.Just at the time the swing stops, the adorable little girl stared at her Mother and cutely answered, “Yeah!” with that wide grin, showing her white set of teeth, full of happiness.“My Darling, Andrea really has the most beautiful smile in the world. Unparalleled to anybody. Don't lose that wonderful smile darling. A smile that also gives us happiness.”The little kid then giggled.“I will always smile mama!”Every time when her Mother strokes her hair gently with her slender and jadedly fingers, she was filled with happiness. She then sniffed t
“Don't forget to do what's on the list.” Zitrey said, preparing her things to go to school. Kate miraculously woke up too early in the morning and went to her work. She seems unbelievably enthusiastic to work today. And it's strange.Yui was just getting home from running 5 kilometers outside. Droplets of sweat were on his elegant face with the white soft towel on his neck. Holding a bottle of water and a piece of paper with a training list.“I swear, I will.”“Good. If you keep it up, I'll lead you to phase 2 of training.”Yui's list of training was full of beginner's exercises needed to develop muscles, agility, senses, and strength. Combat was still not on the list. Yui smiled, “I can't wait for that Mr. Zeth. I'm really grateful.”Suddenly, a blast horn of a vehicle can be heard outside several times that get their attenti
Nathan went out of the Headmaster's Office. He was shocked to see Zitrey standing outside with crossed-arms with the Mr. Cool Secretary, while looking at him frowning.“Did he wait for me here?”Instantly, Nathan felt shivers when Zitrey walked towards him with that intimidating eye off her. He tightly closed his eyes, waiting for the sharp words leaving his big bro's mouth, but he didn't hear anything, instead he was pulled by Zitrey in the sleeves, dragging him to go out the sight of the Secretary.Walking in the hallway, back into their classroom. Nathan's was glued to the slender fingers pulling him. He had thought that even though Zitrey hates physical contact, sometimes Zitrey herself are touching him, is it subconsciously or she was aware of it? But mostly, Zitrey doesn't touch him at all. So, he was confused. He wants to touch that hand and feel the temperature emiting to it. It is the sam
Every year the Lumiere Academy held a sports festival for first year students before the winter vacation will come. It will held in 3 consecutive days, day to night. All first year students from different departments with approximately 5 sections, each will joined the event that will be prepared by the Student Council, Club Presidents and their ‘Senpai's’. What sports the play will be, will just announce during the day of the event.It was 5 in the morning, the crows are starting to cawed welcoming the blazing sun that about to come.Zitrey was sitting on the wooden floor, in the ‘genkan’ area, in front of the main door of the house, where one's changing shoes will take. Black backpack on her side is waiting to be picked up, and inside of it has small things needed for staying in the dormitory for a few days. Now, she just finished tying the shoelace of her school shoes. When suddenly, Kate hugged her in the bac
A youngster wearing a bright red headphone, were speedily typing on the glowing keyboard and clicking the mouse, while looking at the wide monitor of the computer where he was playing a MOBA game with his teammates, who were sitting in rows beside him. Afterwards, the monitor showed the word ‘Victory’, they'd easily won the game. They then pulled out the headphone on their ears and opened the can of softdrinks on the side of their gaming table, and gulped plenty of it, as it was cold in the throat, it was very refreshing.“So, you just got back from work, Lance.” one of his friend said wearing an eyeglasses.“Yeah, I need to attend the Festival. Father's order.” Lance disappointingly answered. After a week of being an errand boy for Nikka, his most tragic week. He'd go back to his work with a still grudge in his heart; to do another big project movie with Glazy. Despite his busy schedule, he still at
A soothing and calming ringing sound, pleasing in the ears is coming from the translucent crystal bell with purple strands of tussle attached to it, featly sways everytime this handsome creature steps. It was hanging at Zitrey's waist.It was very noticeable, making everyone she had passed by to stare at her. Yui, who also walking beside her were wondering on what's with the bell. These two, Zitrey and Yui were separated in the Class Sage as soon as the opening ceremony finished. Now, both are walking in the hallway towards the Headmaster's office.Yui's sapphire like eyes are still locked at the beautiful bell and to the person bringing it. During the night at the Nightroad's residence, he always saw Zitrey looking at this bell with her piercing eyes as if she wants to break this delicate thing and smash it to pieces but was only holding back. “Does she hate this bell? But, why bringing it here? Still, I have no right to know ab
The white ground was now partially painted in droplets of red. Zitrey hands are terribly trembling while frighteningly looking at her palm stained with thick warm blood. That moment when her mom died inflicted severe trauma on her. She can't breathe well nor think, even her dark shade eyes were lifeless like a dead fish.“Shsss. Rhea, I'm totally fine. Don't cry.” Benedict assuredly said to ease her worry, lips pleasantly curving upward while rubbing her soft hair. “This mere wounds can't kill me.” But what he was said was the exact opposite of what he currently felt, an anguishing pain.“H-hospital... w...n-need... go...” Zitrey managed to say with a quivering mouth.“It was such an unfortunate reunion, Benedict. You can still hold on, but the death's door was already opened for you.” Albert said amusingly interfering with them. In an instant when he
Touching the long deep scar on his cheek, though stain to his handsomeness it remained there as a crest of triumph during that stormy night. A prove that the little Andrea could kill, an indication that their game of hunt started, and a remembrance of the day were the Ainsworth Family break apart.“The scar you give to me still felt stingy, I wonder if it's because you were still alive, Rhea,” Albert told without a trace of guilt, and his face shows a devilish smile with no shame.Zitrey has a dark expression, looking down while clenching her palm, she mumbled, “You. You have no right to call my name!” She runs to attack with a fist but was blocked by the sword still on its sheath. Her strong strength was completely stopped by the young girl with that dark and emotionless eyes,
“Before I will answer your question, let me ask you first,” Benedict said after sipping the black coffee with seriousness. “What is your true desire?”Zitrey stunned and couldn't even respond, this caught her fully off guard. Her answer doesn't change about this obvious question but her uncle doesn't know about her dreadful plan all along, she doesn't want him to know, that's when Benedict answers her stead, “To avenge Lilith?”It was vivid on Zitrey expression that Benedict hit the right spot. “Even how deeper your hatred was, don't put justice in your hand. Let the adult and cops handle this.”Coming back to her senses, as always Zitrey refused to accept this, it was such a long year of waiting, “Although, Aunt Heamillia and Aunt Mizu said the same thing as you that my revenge can only bring more suffering. Uncle, my goal can't be changed. However, ... For now, I will try to suppress this.”It was a tiny
Elbowing Cederick, Ezikiel has asked, “How do you know that information, about that woman being a mistress?”“Did I never mentioned that I'm Jack's Candidate? Collecting information around this District is simply part of my job.” Cederick spoke in a confiding voice with a bit of bragging.“Tch, I forgot, you're part of a dark organization,” Ezikiel muttered with a grimace while arms were resting on his shoulders which were found funny by Cederick.“Uncle Strauss!” Cederick eagerly called to the man approaching them. His face clearly shows how excited he was for seeing him. Cederick seems a cute puppy wagging his tail when this person patted his head so gently. Somehow he acts like an ordinary kid in front of this man.“Gahh, I disregard the fact that he was also Kieth. This somehow looks cringe.” Ezikiel thought watching them, “And why 'he' was here?”“What are you doing here uncle?”
“What am I doing in the kid’s world watching your little sister play?” Ezikiel wants to swear badly for being used as a servant for a brat and forced to wear a bright and cute headband that was not suited to his cup of tea. He wears a white rabbit ear while the wolf was for Cederick. The two were holding plenty of shopping bags. It was full of interesting toys and cute dresses that Christine just recently buy. Cederick was obviously spoiling her.This big brother was having fluffy air with flowers while watching his little sister enjoying the big and wide kid’s pool full of vibrant small balls while playing with other kids.Hearing Ezikiel’s fuming, Cederick right away said, “Bear with it, we don’t want to interfere with those couples.”“But I’m interfering with your time together too.”Cederick shakes his head, “You didn’t, with you here, I’m not awkward with my sis. You light up the atmosphere, plus my s
One butler was assigned to each of the youngsters, accompanying them at quite a distance, does not disturb them if not necessary, assisting, and to ensure their safety.Nikka was strumming the classical guitar, checking the tone and it’s quality, while Yui was wondering why they were in the musical instrument store. “Why we are here? I thought we’re going to the arcade?” he asked in confusion.Testing the other instruments that pique her interest, Nikka responded nonchalantly, “Let’s go there later. We stop here to buy you a musical instrument. You love music and I would love to listen to you well, watching you playing these tools with your wonderful hand plus voice, sigh how magical it is. Music is your way to bring you to your family, their memories that stuck within you. Sometimes it lessens your sadness, eases your longing, a companion in times of loneliness, it was somewhat an invisible medicine. I always hear you sing, but as I was not gifted
Among the crowd were humans are minding their own time together, Nathan was walking on pins of needles while holding Zitrey's hand, he can't believe this was happening."Walking while in holding hands, isn't this like we’re having a date? I act so compose a while ago, yet here am I, so nervous and can't even utter a single word, and as expected I can’t start a proper conversation when Zitrey herself stays in silence. But, why..." Nathan touched his pounding chest that having trouble going back to normal. He was always confused about this foreign feeling."But, why I'm so happy?... Does this mean I like her? But what is the meaning of liking someone? When this organ called heart pounding like about to burst? Admiration? Respect? If we want to protect that someone against any harm? or want to know more about them? It seems such a simple question and easy to answer, yet it was hard for those who were like me. Either way, I only wish to stay by her side. Does this count of liking her?""..
The enormous and wide extravagant mall was buzzing with people in their winter coats enjoying their holidays with their companions, family, or just alone.Beneath the magnificent fountain in the centermost of the place, where beautiful water was sparkling with vibrant colors like a gem, a group of youngsters was standing there having a casual conversation while waiting for someone. Even if they were warned not to cause any unnecessary attention, still, their beauty was so captivating that made any passerby glimpse at them, especially when they were accompanied by the two distinguished young actors.“Why Zitrey and Christine took long to buy that d*mn cold sweet-flavored thing? Your little sister has a really weird taste, Cederick. It’s d*mn winter.” Nikka fretted, crossing her arms while foot was tapping on the sparkling floor, constantly, showing her restlessness. Cederick just laughs at her awkwardly while brushing his ha
Under the queer shade of the dark sky, white fluffy dots of snow and mesmerizing crystal flakes were slowly falling in the pool of white ground. Around the middle of the prosperous city, where most citizens living is enjoying their short holidays at home. In the office just above the famous bar with a hidden agenda, a gruesome incident has just occurred.A glint of red and blue light was dancing energetically above the police cars parking near the building of the incident. The area was surrounded by barricade tapes, a bright yellow polyethylene tape with large black printed letters. This restricts individuals with no authority to enter the crime scene. Groups of men in black uniforms are checking each of the corners of the area, searching for the clues leading to the suspect. Cameras are flashing constantly, capturing each angle of the dead bodies of three men laid on the cement floor, bodies wounded with several deep cuts that cause their deaths.A sudden appearance of the man in a l
