Chapter 33 A Necessary Evil

Tetiana, she believes that both her and Tia together would be the key to finding NīRVANA. She believes that when she found Tia, they would be able to open the door to NīRVANA. And to avoid the woman who claimed to be their mother from going to NĪRVANA.
For some reason, Tetiana believe that the woman has bad Intention when she found out a way to NĪRVANA.
Tia, she believes that one of them have to die for the other to become one. She was terrified that after learning the truth, she's nothing more than a clone. Someone who had the same facial features as Tetiana, who only exist as her shadows.
"Did you get visions too?"
Tia asked when she finally regain some sense. Tetiana stared at her in confusion.
"I don't. What do you mean?"
Tetiana raised an eyebrow as Tia was confused with that too since she doesn't understand why she's the only one who had the vision.
"I had them. Ever since the first day I set my foot on the school. That's where I found out about NĪRVANA. I believe that going there would make my wish come true. A wish to go back to my family, but now. I don't think it's necessary anymore. They don't even exist."
Tia said as she had a blank look. She doesn’t know what to feel anymore after knowing all of that.
"I'm sorry. About everything. I don't know why I did that; I know I don't deserve an apology but please, right now. All that matters is we could both go to NĪRVANA. Since you have that kind of vision, there must be a reason to it."
Tetiana said as she reassures Tia that everything is going to be alright. Tia doesn't know how to respond to that, she just nodded. Reason, perhaps. Tia wants to believe that there must be a good reason behind her vision, although it hurts her to know that her family didn't exist. It was hard for her to accept it.
A part of her still wish and hope that everything Tetiana told her was just another lie. She really did hope for it. Both of them decided to go back as it's getting late, and they have been in the basement for too long.
Tia doesn't want to go back there; she was terrified of what would come next.
But still, she needed to tell Xian and Aiden about this.
Tetiana told Tia to go out first since she doesn't want anyone seeing them together, it would be suspicious she said. Tia did what she told her to as she started walking to her room. She wanted to meet Gally and ask her about what happened in the Cave with Chester, but Tia was scared of what she might hears.
"Where were you?"
Tia flinched when she heard Xian voice as soon as she entered her room. She was surprised to see both Aiden and him together. Looking so worried for an odd reason.
"Somewhere. Why? Did you find anything?"
Tia asks as she took a seat next to them. Aiden gave her a curious look as he keeps staring at her weirdly.
"Did you cry?"
Aiden spoke and that made Xian walk towards Tia staring at her face, closer.
"What happened?"
Xian ask as his expression turned sour. Tia doesn't understand why they are being so nice towards her, for all she knows she's just a clone.
Why would they even care about her?
And the fact that Tetiana is actually the real her, terrifies her even more.
"I got another vision."
Tia said and that surprised both boys.
"I know how to get to NĪRVANA."
Tia said as she gave them a weak smile.
"For real? That's great!"
"How did you? What happened?"
Aiden and Xian both said at the same time. Tia was silent for a moment, hesitating whether to tell them or not.
"You needed to kill me."
Tia replied as Aiden and Xian stared at her confused and shocked.
"What the heck? Why would that be a way to NĪRVANA?!"
Aiden grumble as he sat on the bed staring at Tia in disbelief.
"You're joking right?"
Xian gaze turn dark as Tia mentioned about death and all. Tia stares at both of them, blank face.
"Or Tetiana."
Tia added and both boys stare at her even more confused.
"You need to choose one of us. Who would you want to kill?"
Tia said as she gave them a slight grin. Forcing herself to say that. Hearing that made Xian boils in anger. Aiden was staring at her in shock too. Hearing his girlfriend name in the conversation of death must've anger him.
"What nonsense are you spouting now?"
Aiden barks as he is now standing Infront of Tia, towering her as he stared down on her with eyes ready to argue.
"It is what it is, a necessary evil."
Tia said as she stares at them who's confused and angry. Tia flinched when she heard a loud bang next to her. Xian had punch the wall next to her, it was a disaster. Aiden was staring at him eyes wide too.
"A necessary evil? I can't believe you."
Xian glared at her before storming off from the room. Aiden followed behind as he gave Tia a worried look before disappearing with Xian.
It was indeed a disaster.
Tia sighs in defeat. She was tired. Her heart was heavy, she wanted to cry but tears won't come out. It's suffocating just to live knowing everything is just a lie.
"I haven't seen you around. Where were you?"
Enzo spoke as Tia sat next to him in the hall.
"Somewhere."
Tia replied not minding to look at him.
"Is something bothering you? You could tell me if you want?"
He added as he stares at Tia with worried eyes.
"What would you do if you found out that the thing you believe turned out to be a lie? That you're nothing and probably would be best if you just disappear."
Tia said as Enzo frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know anymore."
Tia sighs as Enzo keep asking her about it but she just give him a smile and say that she's only joking. Although, Enzo didn't believe that. He doesn't want to pester Tia any longer.
Yelling and screaming was heard from the other hall. Everyone was confused what could the reason be. Tia was curious too, what could make the people scream like that? Like they just witnessed murder... With that thoughts, Tia eyes went big. She was worried that the incident might be because of what she said earlier to Aiden and Xian.
Panicked, she run off to the scene only to see Gally crying.
"What the heck?"
Kyran said as he too arrives at the scene.
"Let me go! What is wrong with you people?!"
Tetiana yelled as two men are holding her down. Tia was staring at her shocked, what happened? She thought as her gaze move to Gally who's crying and seem to be injured badly. The woman appears as she had dark expression in her face.
"No matter if you are my daughter, trying to assassinate someone who's sleeping is beyond the limits. I will not tolerate with this behavior!"
The woman yelled as Tia stared at Tetiana in shock.
"I didn't do anything! Believe me!"
Tetiana scream as she was pushed to the ground by the man holding her. Tia was too stunned to move from her feet. Aiden and Xian were there too, everyone expression matches each other. Shocked and terror could be seen in their eyes.
"I know you hate me since the beginning, but doing this? what did I ever do to you?"
Gally cries as she was trembling in fear. Seeing that made Tia anger, "how dare you do this to my friend?!" She stared at Tetiana in disbelief.
"I didn't do it! Trust me! I never even know that you're here! I don't even know your name!! WHAT the hell is wrong with you people?!"
Tetiana screams as everyone stared at her in disbelief. No matter how bad she is, trying to kill someone in their sleep is brutal. Absurd indeed. Only someone like Tetiana would be able to do that. Tia was silent as her thoughts run wild.
"What am I saying? Why did I even think of that?"
She panicked as she noticed how Tetiana screams seem genuine. But Gally seem to be the one injured, what happened?
"I was there, I saw what you did."
The woman spoke as Tetiana cried even more. Tia swore that she could see the woman smiling, it was terrifying how she's the only one who saw it. Everyone seem to be preoccupied with Tetiana and Gally screams.
"What are you doing? Let her go! Can't you see she's hurting!"
Aiden roared as flames burst out from his body. Tetiana was crying as she calls out his name. Some man stops Aiden from coming closer as he was trapped in an invisible barrier. He can't seem to get out, as he too was screaming and yelling for Tetiana name. Tia had enough seeing that.
"What exactly happened? How are we sure that you're not lying?"
Tia challenge as the woman eyes twitch when Tia mentioned that. Since I am the clone anyway, it doesn't matter if I die in her place. Tia thought as she saw Tetiana crying while calling for Aiden name. Perhaps, they really do love each other. Gally was staring at Tia in disbelief.
"You're saying I'm lying? That I did this to myself? Why? How could you..."
Gally said as she cried even more. Although, it hurts Tia seeing her like that, she also can't stay still watching Tetiana suffers for something she didn't do. Tia knows, because the look on the woman eyes showed that Tetiana didn't do it.
"My dear daughters, I never know that both of you love each other so much to protect one another."
The woman said as Tia shivered in fear. The woman eyes were challenging her, waiting for her next move. Like a predator waiting for its prey, Tia knows for sure that Tetiana did something that caused the woman to act like this.
It's terrifying.
"Please don't hurt her, she must've a reason for everything."
Tia said as she remembers Tetiana telling her that the vision she got must have a reason. And with Gally in her vision, smiling while Chester is dying proves that she shouldn't trust Gally words.
"Oh, my dear, what's done is done. A life for a life. Blood for blood."
The woman sneered at Tia as she stares at the woman in shock.
"She didn't even kill anyone. Punish all you want, lock her up but she NEVER kill a person."
Tia growl as the woman stare at her in amusement.
"I see, so you knows."
The woman said as she was grinning looking at Tia with wide eyes. Something is weird about this; the woman seems to know something. Tia felt uneasy but she stayed calm for Tetiana sake.
"I was curious about that because she killed a guard when fleeing from Gally's assassination attempt."
The woman said as she stares at Tia with darkened expression. Tia was shocked to hear that. Tetiana keep saying that she never did any of that, but nobody seem to believe her.
Even her friends, was looking at her with disbelief.
"No. Don't do that. She doesn't do anything wrong."
Tia yelled in her head as she stared at the sight Infront of her in horror. Everything seem to be going in a slow motion, Tia swore that she could see Tetiana saying something. It's like she knows this is going to happened. It's like she planned for this. Tia stare at Tetiana for one last time as she was smiling at her.
"No. Please. Why are you doing this?"
Tia was devastated to see Tetiana smiling face as she cries.
"I'm sorry, live well."
Tetiana mouthed the word very clearly as she was staring at Tia with sad look on her eyes. In a blink of an eye, Tetiana head came flying across the hall as screams followed suit.
For some reason, Tia felt like a part of her had been killed as a tear fall down on her cheek.
She was stunned.
Devastated.
Frustrated to see that Tetiana had been killed in front of her.
The woman was already staring at Tia with wonder in her eyes, she knows something. She must be aware that Tia knows how to get to NīRVANA.
Terrified, Tia left the hall in a hurry as she was crying while running. She doesn't understand why, it just hurts her so much.
