I gasped, while my eyes widened. He's glaring at me. My heart was pounding like I ran a thousand miles.
“Z-Zhian?” I whispered. He looked at my eyes directly, while covering his mask with his hand.
I stepped forward, but he's still standing quietly. I walked in his direction to hug him without any hesitation.
I heard his heartbeat. I closed my eyes and keeps myself calm.
He sighed, and hug me back. My heart skipped a beat because of what he did. He gently pats my shoulder, and he put his head on my shoulder.
I slowly removed the mask from one of the earloops. Furthermore, I can feel his heart become calm, and it was beating in a normal beat.
He hugs me tightly while we are still standing in the middle of the office. When I finally removed his mask, he gently kissed my cheek.
“Amethyst...” he whispered. I gasped, and I felt like something was squeezing, and stabbing to my heart.
My shoulder slumped down, and I started in a distance. I immediately wiped away the tear from my eye.
He's still don't remember me. What will I expect if I'm the reason why he doesn't remember me. I'm the reason why he chose to forget me.
He holds my cheeks, and he looked directly into my weary eyes. I gasped for air when I saw something on his face.
It's a mark from a deep cut. The mark reaches the half of his face, it's from his right cheek into the outside of the nostril.
I gently touched it, and he let me do it. My tears started to stream down in my face.
“What happened to you?” I asked while holding his cheek. “Samuel did it,” he replied.
He released me from his arms, and he said that I should sit on the couch. I scanned his whole face.
He still looks the same Zhian Azrael for me, the only difference was the mark on his face.
However, it doesn't do anything else from his face. I wonder if what happened to him for the past few months.
He stood properly, he wiped his wound at the corner of his lips. It's the wound from Harvey's punch.
“I will tell you something about me, and about what happened to me when I'm not around,” he said while cleaning his wound.
I took my phone and secretly put it on record mode.
“I found a DSLR camera at the abandoned house, I don't know if it's the Riego's old house, or it's our abandoned house, I forgot it, but when I'm searching for some evidence on that house, I saw a strange human figure,” he started to tell the beginning.
“When I'm about to escape, he caught me, and he hit something on my head that causes me to be unconscious, when I opened my eyes, I'm at their basement full of equipment tools.”
My eyes widened, it seems like, it's familiar to my ears.
“He started to torture me, and he began to pull some nails on my feet,” he stated while walking in front of me.
“Until one day, he's eating in front of me, but you know what was the food that he's eating?” he asked while his eyes were wide open.
“It's meat, a human meat, and a flesh from the human he already murdered!” He raised his voice that made me to became startled.
“He forced me to eat that meat, and drink its blood, he treated me like an animal! He did those kinds of things multiple times, and the moment that I can't resist it already came.”
He licked the corner of his lips.
“When I'm at the basement, I can see all the strange things inside of it, the time has come, he wouldn't let me sleep! He keeps shouting, and laughing for no reason! Until one day...” he paused, and think for a moment.
“One day, Amethyst appeared in front of me, she said that I can escape from that man,” he looked at the ground.
“She tilde me that If I succeed in escaping, she will go with me, and live with me until the rest of my life.”
My mind was filled with different thoughts, what if I'm going to say that Amethyst was already gone.
“So, look what happened! I succeeded in escaping! I'm telling some unbelievable stories in front of you! Sammy!” he exclaimed. My jaw dropped when he shouted my name.
He immediately arched his eyebrow, and murmured, “Sammy? Who's Sammy? Do I know that person?”
My happiness ended in a few seconds. It's like someone gave you a beautiful glass, and you accidentally fell in on the ground, and as a result, the glass was broken into pieces.
He looked at me with a bewildered look, “Do you know Sammy? Answer me, Amethyst.”
I sighed, and I felt like there's a lump in my throat, and there's a knife in my chest.
My eyes were welled up in tears while staring at him. He scratches his nape and immediately sat beside me.
He wiped away my tears and kissed my forehead. He whispered to my ear, “Stop crying, I'm here, I won't let someone hurt you, I will protect you.”
I can't control my sobs, and I'm wiping them away while he's comforting, and hugging me. Sometimes, I'm wishing that I'm Amethyst just to feel his love and genuine comfort.
This scene was just a sign that I'm just fooling my emotions, and fooling his feelings towards Amethyst.
He can't accept that Amethyst was no longer in this world, she does not belong to the world of the living human.
He stood up and went to the sink. He washed his face mask until the blood disappeared from it.
“Let's go home, Amethyst.” He walked back in my direction, and he wiped his hands until they dried from the water.
He holds my hand and pulled me out of the office. I decided to become silent.
We walked through the back of the school, and I'm just following him to where we are going. He will turn his head in my direction every minute.
After half an hour, we arrived at the small condominium. It seems like he's the only one who was left inside of here.
We climbed up the stairs, and the silence was still conquering the whole place.
At the moment, we stopped in front of the door, I think it's his room, he opened the door using the keys.
He gently pulled me inside of the room, and he offered me to have a sit. I scanned the whole room.
It's neat and clean. I looked at the floor, it's clean. So I decided to sit in the chair, it's comfortable so there's nothing wrong to sit in here.
After a few seconds, he appeared while holding a glass of water. He removed his mask.
He folds his long-sleeved, and he gave me the glass of water. I accepted it with a genuine smile.
“Wait for me, I'm going to do something, okay?” I nodded as a sign of my answer.
