|EPILOGUE|
Third Person's POV
In the middle of the night where the moon illuminates the darkness all over the things that have been left out, grieving hearts scattered all over the place.
Deaths. Bloods. Fights. War.
A woman in red stood right in the middle of the chaos as she looked around her. She was panting and breathing hard because of the continuous fights with the enemy who strikes them a surprise attack.
Men are scattered with their guns, swords, daggers, and all weapons tightly gripped by their hands ready to slaughter all the people who will block their way. The enemy has brought too many men in blacks and the group of the woman in red ere barely handling the situation.
She gritted her teeth while watching her comrades trying their best to fight but she knew, they'd lost it.
The war that wasn't even in the half of it, she knew their time has come to an end. And whether she will accept it or not, they've lost the war.
The pain, the heaviness that was put into her shoulders, she can barely breathe.
"Red! Move your damn ass! Come on!" Red glanced to Z who was busy firing her guns into the men in blacks who were aiming at her and if she hasn't fired them to death, she'll be in the ground right now, lifeless.
"No need to shout at me, Z!" With her booming voice, the enemy who was near her trembled in fear as they felt how heavy her presence is. It can pull you down on your knees and just say the words that you give up but then they were in a war.
She scoffed as she clicked her tongue in annoyance when she realized what she just thought just now.
Losing this war is not on my list.
"They started this war, then they need to finish it by greeting hell! Assholes, come get me if you can!"
After shouting those words, she reloaded her twin guns and fired men after men who's coming at her and at those who aim her to death.
She did a split while raising her right hand and left hand and shot 2 guys in both directions. She rolled in the ground when someone rains her bullet and when she feels like the person are now out of magazines, she lifts her body by lifting her lower body and getting herself up. She landed on the ground perfectly as she raised her gun and shoot the person right at his head and his heart with no emotion showing in her face and her eyes.
"D!"
In just a snap, she finds herself in a trance where she couldn't hear anything but her heartbeats. The loud beating of her heart that she feels like she's slowly getting deaf of how loud it is.
As if she was in slow motion, her head turns and look behind her where the direction of the voice who shouted D's name.
The person who's keeping her heart beating because she feels alive but right now, it seems like she can't accept the fact that the same person will take her heart away from her body. Making her deaf and feels like life is being sucked away from her.
She watched how the man slowly fell as blood came out from his mouth.
The time is too slow yet too fast for her as their eyes met. D was teary-eyed when he looks in her direction. Her heart stopped beating when she saw how his lips tried to move to smile at her.
She cleared the lump in her throat as she raised her hands and shot the enemies around them and run in his direction as soon as possible.
"Damn you! Die!" She kept on shouting and muttering those words as she slowly get near to him. To the person who can tame her. The person who can make her heart stop beating for a second.
The person who taught her the feeling of being in love.
"Don't die, D!" After one shot, she fell beside D who was struggling to breathe already.
His face was full of blood. Red couldn't help but stare at his face. Her hands started to trace it while keeping herself sane. With trembling hands, she felt how hot and feels alive his face was.
"Didn't I tell you that you can't be in this situation? You promised," she whispered the last words as she can't stop the hot liquids trailing down her face from her eyes.
D tried to smile but it will always appear as grimaced.
"I-I'm... S-sorry...," Red shut her eyes closed and clenched her jaw as well as her hands. She can hear how D coughed drops of blood and how his breathing gets rugged.
"You can't die on me, D. You can't,"

As the war continues and the moon watched how bloody the whole place turned, in a far distance where a woman lying in a bed with apparatus connected to her in one of the secret rooms underground, the moon witnessed how her eyes slowly opened.
With a single deep breath, she woke up from her deep slumber.
She can hear different voices but can't recognize even a single voice. She blinked her eyes to see the things around her.
Two women were watching her all the time.
"Finally, you woke up in the most perfect time..., Naiah Rizonde...,"
Her brows furrowed and tried to process what she just heard from the woman on her right. The other woman on her left was only there, watching her as if she will be gone from her eyes at any time.
"You've slept long enough, Naiah. Now, get yourself ready because we still have a war to finish,"
The woman who just woke up was too confused to even react to the things that she heard just now.
Slept? War?
She asked in her mind.
"You're too excited, sister," finally, the woman on her left spoke.
She was still looking at Naiah on the bed and ignoring her sister who was now fuming mad.
"Sin, my sister. I'm Kanner, remember? I can do whatever I want and you don't have a say in that. Now, where were we? Right!"
She exclaimed and clapped her hands twice that making Naiah look at her with the same confused eyes.
"We need you to cooperate, Naiah. Once we go out from this hell room, we can finally avenge THEIR deaths...,"
