"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Aiden yelled in confusion. He doesn't understand what Gally meant and don't care since the only thing on his mind now is to make the girl Infront of him suffer. So badly, slowly. Gally was silent as Aiden yelled at her, she showed no remorse and doesn't flinched even when Aiden took another step.
"It's coming."
Gally said as she sighs in relief, laughing as she noticed Aiden confused look.
"Yeah, it is coming. And it's your death."
Aiden growled as he leaps towards Gally, but he was surprised when he missed. He was furious indeed, as Aiden was about to throw another attack, he suddenly felt a pang on his head. Causing him to slowly lost consciousness.
"This can't be happening...."
Aiden manages to say before he falls to the floor. With Gally, staring at him with hatred on her eyes. Muttering something that Aiden can't seem to hear.
"Are you awake?"
Voices. They seem familiar. But it can't be. Wake up. Open your eyes.
Aiden jolted his eyes open as he gasped for air, he was hyperventilating as if he's dying. It was unbelievable, since just a moment ago, he was with Gally, about to kill her. But now, Gally is nowhere to be seen.
"My God, you're awake." A voice approaches him with a smile as Aiden stared at the person with shocked. Confused and remorse.
"Why? How? Is this a dream?" Aiden said as he touched the person face, he doesn't realize that he's crying.
"What is wrong with you? You're acting funny." The person responded as they chuckle seeing Aiden behavior.
What is happening? Where am I? Aiden thought was filled with this. It was hard to believe but he was really glad to see the person Infront of him, alive and well.
"Anna, I miss you so much."
Aiden breathes as he hugged Tetiana making the girl confused.
"Are you feeling sick?"
"Do you need more rest?"
The girl replied as she stares at him worried. And confused. Aiden can't help but feel sad, he missed her so much. Being with her here, is enough and he doesn't want to think about anything else at the moment. He doesn't want to care about anything.
"No, I'm all right. I just miss you so much I could die."
He smiled as he took Tetiana fingers to his chest. Clutching to it with his own as he stares at her.
"You are sure a weird today. But anyway, do you really think I could win today?"
Tetiana asked as she played with their fingers. Aiden was silent for a moment; he was confused what Tetiana was talking about. But then he remembers, this scene. Had happened before. Was this just a memory?
"You will. I know it."
Aiden replied as he keeps staring at his girlfriend.
"I love you."
Tetiana seems surprised, she was staring at Aiden with amusement in her eyes.
"I love you so much."
Again, hearing that word seems distant to her since Aiden never really said those words lightly. She finds it weird that he's saying that.
"The way you say it seems like I'm going far away."
Tetiana replied as she chuckles. Aiden was taken aback. He was speechless. When Tetiana noticed that he's not saying anything, she was confused.
"Is there something on your mind?"
She said as Aiden stares at her. His expression somewhat confused.
"Can you not go?"
Aiden said as Tetiana stares at him in confusion.
"What are you saying? I'm here."
She added as Aiden still, doesn't show any reaction.
"Can you promise that you will stay? Can you not leave me? Don't go. Please."
Hearing those words, shocked Tetiana. She doesn't understand what he meant by that. As for Aiden, he was hoping that this wasn't a dream. He was hoping that Tetiana will stay with her, even after he woke up from this dream. He wanted this to be real.
"Of course, silly. Why would I ever leave you?"
Hearing that made Aiden hurts even more. "But you already did." His mind said as he can't bring himself to say the words out loud. He too, doesn't understand. Why? Why is it so hard to say those words?
"I want to be with you. I don't want to find another person to love. I only want to love you. I want to be together. Always."
Tetiana reassured. Aiden smiled, for the first time. He felt completed. Those words are enough to keep him going.
"Is that what you wish to hear?"
Tetiana added as she laughed. Brushing off Aiden fingers from her. Leaving him confused and stunned.
"Poor Aiden, crying for the one he loves. Whom must I say, are dead."
Snickering, Tetiana was staring at Aiden with darkened eyes. Hearing that made him realize; this wasn't a dream but a nightmare that will forever haunts him.
"You said you love me, but you did nothing. You watched me suffer. Letting me die in vain. Do you really think I would love you when you did nothing for me? How sad."
Tetiana added as Aiden was now staring at her in horror.
No.
Please stop.
"Shut up! You're not her! Shut up!"
Aiden screams as he bangs the wall next to him. He was angry, confused and stunned.
What is happening to me?
"You left me to die."
"You left me when I needed you."
"You left me, when I was suffering."
"You left."
"Why?"
Aiden was shocked to hear that. It was as if, Tetiana really wanted to say THOSE words to him. The words she never got to say...
"I didn't leave. I tried my best. I really do."
Aiden said as he stares at Tetiana with sad eyes. No matter how bad he wanted to hug her, he knows, The girl Infront of him is not Tetiana. She's just an illusion. A beautiful fantasy.
"Tried? What did you do exactly? Cry? Scream and shout? And you call that trying your best?"
Tetiana words send shivers down his spine. She was right. He really was useless.
"Stop. Please."
Do you really think crying and begging could make everything better?
Aiden thoughts was filled with voices he doesn't want to hear. He can't help himself. He can't escape from those voices.
"I'm sorry."
Two words, those simple words. Is it really going to fix what's broken?
"I died."
"I died a meaningless death. And for what? Nothing. It was useless."
Tetiana glared as she stands Infront of Aiden, clutching to his shirt.
"Why do I have to be the one who die? Why me?"
Sobbing slightly, Tetiana broke down as Aiden stood there, unable to react. He doesn't know what to do or say since the person Infront of him is not the real Tetiana. Yet, seeing her like that, in that condition. Hurts him so much that he can't help but to pull her in his arms. Whispering words that seems to calm her down.
"Why can't you... Just die?"
Tetiana spoke as she pushed Aiden away. He was shocked to see Tetiana eyes, she was crying blood. Yet, she was smiling. Seeing this sight, shuddered him.
"It's going to be all right. You will be fine."
Tetiana whispered as she smiled, suddenly there's a knife on her hand. She was aiming for Aiden. At first, he was hesitant. Struggling to fight her. But soon he gave up, even if he does. Nothing really going to change. He thought.
"It's going to be alright."
Aiden said as he opens up his arms, telling Tetiana to just go ahead and kill him. He was ready for it. He can't stand being alive knowing that he wasn't able to save the person he cared the most.
"Wake up."
Confused, Aiden was surprised to see Tetiana stand there not moving. She had a sad look on her eyes.
"Go."
The same voices that's been lingering in his head for a while.
"Wake up!!"
Screaming, Aiden winches in pain as the voice scream to him. It hurts.
Why does it have to end like this?
[BAM]
"Oh? I didn't know that you could get away from that illusion?"
A girl said in amusement as Aiden turned his head to that direction. He was shocked to see that he's still in Gally's room. She was just there, sitting on her bed. Staring at him in amusement.
Illusion?
It felt so real. She feels so real.
Aiden flames burst out from his body as he screams at Gally. He wanted to kill her. For real.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you're wasting your time? Anyway, I have to go. I hope you enjoy your time with THEM."
She snickered as she stared at Aiden whom somewhat stuck to the floor. He wasn't able to move from his place.
"What did you do?!!"
Aiden screams as everything that he does, doesn't seem to work out. He can't even move his fingers which causes him to panicked. And Gally words made him horrified. What does she mean by them?
"Let me go! I'm going to kill you!!"
Although, it was useless. He tried his best to shout. Gally just smirks at him, leaving him alone in that room.
"Have fun."
That was the last words Gally said to him, and it made him confused. However, he soon realizes what she meant when he saw Syüxa entered the room.
What is happening?!
Aiden was horrified to see more coming. He was even more shocked that Gally knows that they're coming.
"This is not going to end up good."
Aiden breathes as he glared at those creatures lurking over him. For the first time in a while, he was terrified. After what happened before, in his dream or to Gally an illusion. He was scared of what's going to happen next. He was horrified. He was sure that he's ready to die, but now. He wasn't sure if he wants to die in the hands of those monster.
Struggling, he tried his best to break free from the curse that seems to make him glued to the floor. He was indeed grateful that those creatures don’t attack him. He was even more confused when they just stared at him. As if, waiting, for him to make his first move. It was even more terrifying than being attacked. It seems like they know, and they're playing with him.
It's daunting.
After a while of struggling, he finally managed to get away. But unfortunately, the Syüxa decided to attack. They don’t even wait for him this time as ALL of them decided to attack at the same time leaving Aiden shocked in terror. Those creatures fangs and claws, it burns. Somehow, there's something different about them. It was not the same as the usual Syüxa that he had encounter all his life.
Something is definitely wrong. And Gally knows about it. Aiden was sure of it.
Aiden manages to kill all of the creature as he finally made his way out from Gally's room. Cursing himself, he swears that when he sees Gally, he's going to kill her for good. Although, his ability seems to take a huge toll on his body. He doesn't care.
Aiden was already at the door when suddenly something pulled him up to the ceiling, he was shocked to see another Syüxa. On the ceiling. It was unbelievable. They could never do that before.
What just happened?!
"Fuck off!"
Aiden blasted one of his fireballs as the Syüxa shrieked in pain. It was now or never. He needed to run now or else he's going to die. His vision started to become blurry as he gasped for air
"This is not the time. Come one. Move."
He keeps chanting those words in his head as he stumbled to the floor.
"Move!!"
He mentally screamed inside his head.
Aiden thought that he had killed the creature but to his dismay, it was crawling towards him in a flash. He was shocked to see the creature towering above him, sticking its claws out to his face.
"Fuck!!"
Aiden screamed as the creature struck its claw into his left eye. Gauging it out.
It was terrifying.
It hurts so bad.
Aiden kicked the creature with his remaining strength as it leaps backwards. Snickering at him before running off to a different direction. It was insane. Aiden groaned in pain as he touched his eye.
It's gone.
He just knows it. Because it hurts him so much, he wants to die.
If only dying is that easy....
He doesn't know what to do as he laid there on the floor, gasping for air.
"Is it really the end for me?"
He thought as he laughed at himself. He really is ready to die.
"What the hell are you doing?! We needed to find Tia!"
A voice approaches Aiden as he looks at the person in shocked. And amused at the same time.
"Woah. What the FUCK happened to you?!"
Aiden chuckles as he received a glare from that person.
"I don't want to hear that coming from a person who only has an eye."
The person responded as Aiden laugh in return, he was not wrong. Aiden stood up with the help of the person as both of them looked like a bloody mess.
"Xian, something is wrong with this place."
Aiden mentioned as the other boy had a dark expression on his face. He knows. For sure.
"I'm aware."
He responded as he and Aiden made their way to Tia's. Before they could even move, a loud shrieking was heard. The floor started to grumble as both boys panicked.
"That doesn't seem good."
