When Tia reached her room, she was unable to do anything. She was terrified, why did Tetiana do that? Why did SHE have to live and not Tetiana? Tia was deep in her thoughts when she realized there's something on her bed.
A note.
Staring at it from afar, she doesn't want to read it. She hated herself for everything. But a part of her still wanted to know, what and who was it from.
With a heavy heart, Tia reaches out for the note as she sat on her bed.
"Tia, when you read this, I'm probably dead. Ha-ha. But don't worry! I'm okay, I'm going to be okay! Don't even cry for me, okay? Although, I doubted that you will. It's not your fault, you too just wanted to live. To go back to the place that you belong. Am I right? I'm sorry for everything. For every word that I ever said to you. I'm sorry for hurting you. Although, we never really get to talk to each other I was glad that we finally did. I'm sorry for deciding this without your consent. I just want the best for us. You too must thought about it right? How do we become one? How are we supposed to be one when we're both a completely different person? I know. I saw the look in your eyes. It must be scary right? To discover that you live in a lie. I know it's scary, because if it's me... I don't think I would be able to go this far. So, I've decided, you will be the key to NīRVANA. I believe in you. You don't have to worry about me, don't feel sorry for me too. This is my decision. You shouldn't feel like you don't deserve to live, don't be scared. We are two different people, don't let anyone tell you you're not. So please live well. For the both of us, have a happy life! And please tell Aiden that I love him so much, tell him to not cry because he looks ugly when he did. Tell him to stay healthy and live a wonderful live. Tell him to find a new love who will appreciate him for all he has. Tell him that I will be fine. Goodbye Tia, I'm happy to know that you're my sister." - Tetiana
It was heartbreaking. Tetiana did that to make sure Tia reach her goal. To attain NĪRVANA. She knows from the start that in order for them to become one is to make sure the other is dead.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Tie cried as she held the note in her hand, crying. She never thought that Tetiana already think ahead of her, she still can't believe how Tetiana made that decision without telling her first. Tia was devastated, she feels like she doesn't deserve any of this for only being Tetiana "replacement". She decided that to not let the opportunity die in vain, Tia doesn't want to be in the place any longer. She doesn't care if the woman is really her mother or Tetiana, because after all. She never really had a mother to begin with.
Getting to NīRVANA is her only goal now. Perhaps, a wish could make everything come true. Where she could go back to her family, even though it never existed. She could wish for it to come true.
Tia have decided and made up her mind. To escape from this horrendous place. To end this nightmare.
"Tia, open the door."
A voice whispered at the other side of the door. Tia was confused, who might it be. She wipes off her tears as she opened the door to see Xian and Aiden standing there looking angry.
"What do you want?"
Tia replied as she stares at them, not sure if they're friends of foes. Aiden barge into the room as he pushed Tia on the floor. Wincing in pain, Tia might have an idea why he did that.
"Are you trying to kill her?"
Xian argued as he locked the door. Aiden just stare at Tia in anger.
"Are you happy now that she's dead? You know this would happen, didn't you?! I shouldn't have be involved with you for goodness sake!"
He frustratingly sighs as he wipes the tears in his eyes. He was crying.
"I didn't know about it."
Tia replied as she stares at him, guilty. Still, Tetiana made that decision for her.
"You should tell us everything before this guy lost his mind."
Xian spoke as he stares at Aiden who's about to blow up. Tia sighs, she doesn't know whether she should tell them about it or not.
"You should read this first."
Tia said as she handed the note to Aiden and Xian. After a while of sniffing, Aiden finally burst into tears as Xian tried to calm him down. Awkwardly.
"I'm not an ugly crier."
He spoke as he finally calmed down.
"What is the meaning of the note? Please explain every detail so that I could trust you."
He added as Xian matched his expression well. Tia decided to tell them everything that Tetiana told her, the basement. Who she really is and who is she to Tetiana.
"A clone huh."
Aiden sighs frustratingly. Xian was silent, he seems too surprised to even say anything.
"So, what now? What's your plan?" Aiden added as he stares at Tia. "Since my baby believe in you, I too will help you to reach your goal."
Aiden smiled as he patted Tia on her head causing Xian to frowned in annoyance.
"I'm sure she didn't refer Tia to be your new lover."
Xian spoke as Aiden laugh in return. Tia stared at them confused, what is going on inside their head? She wondered.
"Escaping this hell."
Tia suggests and both Aiden and Xian exchange worried looks.
"We're going to tell the others. Hopefully, we will leave tonight."
Xian sighs as he nudges Aiden.
"For the time being, stay in your room no matter what. Don't open the door to anyone else besides us. Don't even think about going somewhere."
Xian added as Tia just nodded in silence.
"What if something happened? What should I do?"
Tia replied with worried eyes.
"Just scream for us. We'll come running."
Aiden added as he gave Tia a smile. He's trying his best to remain calm. Although, it was seen in his eyes. He was hurting, losing someone he loved the most. It must've been painful.
"It's going to be alright."
Xian added as he patted Tia on her head.
"So, what exactly are we going to tell the others?"
Aiden asked as he and Xian decided to leave and gather their friends. Xian too, can't believe that Tetiana is dead. He was surprised that "death" even occurred to her since she seems to be avoiding death every time.
"That we're leaving this place?"
Xian raised an eyebrow and Aiden sighs in defeat.
"And how exactly?"
"Just follow me and shut up. And call your friends..."
As Xian said that Aiden just nodded in silence not wanting to argue with him. Although, he doesn't understand why he's listening to Xian. He doesn't have the energy for anything other than going out of there, alive. As everyone is gathered, their expression shows that they're confused and somewhat scared. Gally wasn't there since she was the reason Tetiana died in the first place. Aiden doesn't want to see her face and he feels like he wanted to kill her. He feels angry that Gally is alive, while she of all people had done nothing for them throughout their journey.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Red spoke as he realizes that Xian and the others are also there.
"We might and might not have found a way to NĪRVANA."
Aiden suggest as everyone expression turned confused.
"Why is it might?"
Kyran asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Tetiana was the key to NīRVANA. But she's dead. And this place, Even Gally. Is not safe. We should leave."
Aiden said as Xian was watching him do all the talking.
"What nonsense are you spouting now? Don't your hear what the Queen told us earlier? Tetiana was the evil one. Why should we go out there? Into whom knows where and why should we believe you? Of all people, you can't be trusted."
Kyran glared at him as Red also shows that he agreed. Xian sense something weird is going on. His friends seem to be acting odd. Why are they acting so different?
"We should leave. This place is not safe for us."
Xian finally spoke as Enzo scoffed at his remarks. Something is definitely WRONG here.
"How are you so sure?"
Enzo eyes darkened and seeing the sight of him like that, truly makes Xian wonder if he really is the friend he used to know. The girls, Serina and Tammy had been silent as they watched the others talking, arguing.
"Because I am."
Xian replied giving him a death glare which only makes things harder.
"I don't want to leave. I don't want to go out there. It's not safe."
Serina finally spoke as she seems frightened when Aiden glares at her.
"You could stay if you want, I don't care about this anymore. I'm going."
Aiden sighs in defeat as he leaves the others. Asking Xian to follow him. For a moment, Xian was hesitant. He doesn't want to lose his friends any longer. He can't. Seeing Chester died right in front of his eyes is torture. He can't do it for another three times.
"I need you guys to believe in me. Please."
Xian begged as his friends stare at him in confusion. They don't know what to do.
"I'm sorry. I don't want to die."
Enzo replied as he walks away from them. Xian was surprised to hear that. Why is he so sure that he's going to die?
"I'm going with Enzo."
Kyran added as he sighs.
"I'm sorry. But staying here is better than going out there to who knows where. I can't do this anymore."
He too decides to leave them. Xian was left with no choice. He was angry with himself. Why can't he convince his friends that staying here is EVEN more dangerous?
"I'll stay with them. I'll make sure, nothing happens to us. Don't worry about us. Just go. Help her find her way home."
Rebel smiled as he patted Xian shoulder. It was the last time Xian, and his friends meet with each other, as everyone decided to stay there. Even Aiden friends.
"What are we supposed to do now? I seriously don't understand how they wanted to stay here!"
Aiden frustratingly sighs. Xian was deep in his thoughts; he can't help but feel scared and worried for his friends.
"Where are you going?"
Aiden was confused as he saw Xian running.
"I'll be back! Just go back to Tia."
Xian added as he run off to somewhere. Aiden sighs in defeat.
"I wish you were here."
He says as he can't seem to forget about Tetiana cries. It hurts him so much to see her suffering. And to end up like that, she doesn't deserve any of this. Aiden was mad at the Queen. For killing the one he loved his entire life. He wanted revenge. So badly. But he decided to go back to Tia.
"Anna wouldn't like it if I go berserk."
Aiden thought as he made his way to Tia's room.
Aiden gave up with wanting his friends to go with him. He tried telling them, but they just won't listen to him.
"They just wanted to live. For goodness sake! Am I bringing them to death or what?"
Aiden was frustrated. He wanted them to go with him, but it was their decision. He can't force them to go. Suddenly, Gally was on his mind. He wanted to see how she's doing after everything that she did. Aiden was furious at her. Because he knows, Gally was lying. He decided to stop at Gally's before going to Tia's room. There's something he needed to confirm before leaving.
He wanted to know.
Why?
It's too much for him to handle. Aiden started to boil in anger again as he is now standing outside the door. Waiting for the right moment to open it.
"Come in."
A voice whispered behind the door. Aiden was confused for a moment.
"Did she know I was here?"
Aiden furrowed his eyebrows as he entered the room revealing Gally, who's smirking at him. Seeing that, made Aiden wanted to kill her.
"Took you long enough."
Gally smirks as Aiden surrounded himself with flames. He's done playing games, he just wanted to see her dead.
"Why did you that? You do realize that I could kill you right here, right now?"
Aiden tried his best to remain calm but seeing Gally smiling at him, it was really hard to stay sane.
"If it's meant to be, it will be. Vengeance feels good, isn't it?"
Gally room was filled with her laughter as Aiden finally lost his mind.
"I should've killed you back then."
Aiden replied as he started throwing fireballs to Gally direction, but for some reason. None of it manage to even scratch Gally's.
"Nice try. But I don't think it's enough."
Gally had an unexplainable look on her face as Aiden was confused, why isn't it working? How is she so calm?
"I like the look on your face. It was nice, isn't it? To see the person, you loved so much died in front of you."
Gally said as her eyes turned dark. She doesn't show anymore expression, her eyes are dead.
"To see them suffer, witnessed their last moment and not being able to do anything."
Gally added as she laughed but It's sounded painful and a forced. Her eyes seems to be hiding something...
