Everything felt ominous. Joshua got up on his feet and ran. It didn't matter to him where but he ran. He wanted to get away from what the hell he saw. It's impossible, he said. "It's all a lie! Kylie wouldn't do that! They wouldn't have met before!" He shouted as he ran for his life. His surroundings felt narrower and tighter as everything became pitch black. He couldn't breathe. Something was suffocating him. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have let him done that to you!" Joshua screamed, he fell to his knees, crying. "Please don't kill me... I.."He closed his eyes and started hyperventilating. And he shouted louder.
"I love you."
And for a very quick moment, it felt like the world dropped on him. Like he was being pounded to ground meat. And he opened his eyes.
He sees Lianne and the others surrounding him. Leanna was crying in the distance. Joshua sat up. He saw Ken hugging his knees and clutching a knife, muttering Kylie's name and glaring at Joshua. Reuel was lying face down on the grass and Nicko was .. glitching near Reuel, tip-tapping his feet in anger as Reuel chuckles. Lianne sighs as David chuckles whilst Joshua sits up. "What..happened?" Joshua looks around and realizes his surroundings. "WHY THE HELL ARE WE BACK AT THIS GODDAMN PLACE?!" Ken suddenly jolts and stands up,aiming the knife at Joshua. "Hey! Everybody c--c clam-- calm down!" Nicko shouts, making Reuel stand up in surprise and cough. "Okay long story short: After we were 'saved' by those helicopters to the hospital, the demons-" David starts but was suddenly cut off by Lianne screaming. " OH MY GOD! Are you seriously believing Reuel with the demon bullshit?!" Nicko looks at her with a pissed off and unamused face. "Bitch, if I wasn't a techno fuck ghost right now, I'd fucking punch you. I don't fucking care that i can't reach your face. You have a pussy and you don't deserve it. It's already spread to your whole fucking body." Lianne stares at him with a shocked expression, she walks away. Leanna chuckles and Reuel sighs. The ground suddenly shakes and everyone screams. They all hear an increasing volume of a giggle. Leanna grips onto Daviid's arm as the ground cracks. They all huddle together and held onto whatever they could find. Except for Ken and Lianne. He ran and she chased after him. "That idiot! Where the hell are you heading for?!" The earthquake lasted for an hour or so. And when they turned their heads, they saw it.
Their sin. Their grief. Their fault, their more grievous fault.
Their reason for their suffering.
The untouched grave. Beside that were two graves that were wide open. They read the names.
Louise Gabriel Dimalenta and Kyle Y Alomande. "Missing kid from 3 years ago and Orphan dead 20 years ago." David whispered. In between those two graves, was Kylie's grave. Reuel looked away with a blank expression and suddenly twitched. The soil on top the grave was rising and dropping slowly. Like as if it was breathing, no, it was like as if the person underneath it was still alive. Everything went quiet. Too quiet.
It was until then when they noticed Ken suddenly screaming and throwing himself at the grave. "God fucking damnit!" Lianne ran over to Ken, who is now unconscious as he hit his head on the gravestone, on the ground. And as Lianne grabbed Ken by his feet to drag him away, something from underneath grabs Lianne's feet and pulls her down, dragging Ken along, everyone screams. Leanna starts to cry. Reuel stares blankly at the grave as he walks towards it and he kneels and bows. And he smiles. The same damn smile he had when Nicko first saw him. Reuel starts laughing maniacally as if he was given everything he ever wanted. As if he was given back his queen. He looks down.
Then Kylie flew out the ground gracefully.
Everyone fell silent. Kylie lands on Reuel's back, facing everyone else, looking down. And she opens her mouth.
"Other dancers may be on the floor~" Kylie sways her hips as she walks towards them and spins around. "Dear but my eyes will see only you." She sings as she dances around the others. "Only you have that magic technique." She slides down as she gets in front of David and wraps his arms around her and quickly unwrapping his arms. She quickly pulls up Reuel and Nicko and spins them around. "When we sway, I go weak!~" She moans as she bends one knee and "falls" into Nicko's arms.
"Your highness." Reuel and Ken says at the same time as Ken awakens , making Joshua glare at him and throw a rock at him while he was still inside the grave. Reuel laughs and stands up before helping Lianne and Ken get out the grave. They all fell silent and looked away as Kylie brushed away the dirt on her clothes and stockings. "Wait.. There's something missing." She cops her neck, the others start to get nervous. "Oh!" She says with such a exaggerated expression. They twitch in surprise. "My scarf!~" She chuckles and starts to walk past everyone. Nicko raises his hand. "Why did I have to have this demon that obviously killed me sharing my body with me?" Kylie stopped and stared at him then laughs.
"I don't know, why didn't you learn from your own goddamn mistakes?"
Nicko breathes in and lowers his hand, he looks away. "Oh and David, you've got the best magic technique." David looks up at her and smiles. "To makes girls come and leave so quickly all at the same time." His smile disappeared, covering his face in humiliation. She quickly turns her back and looks behind her, with a smug expression and a mocking tone. "I didn't know what i was cleaning between my thighs, Was it cum or was it just a speck of dust?" She makes a shooing hand gesture. "But oh well, Don't we all just love it when everyone has their filthy fingers in each other's pies without consent?" She laughs and walks away. Everyone else looks at each other. Kylie's smile disappears.
"Especially when we told each other we won't hide secrets from each other yet," She was getting pissed off. "THEN WHY IS IT THAT I'M STILL FUCKING LIKE THIS?! WHY IS IT THAT LIANNE IS FUCKING HIDING EVERYTHING FROM US?! WHY IS IT THAT SHE ISN'T TELLING ANYONE ABOUT THE TIME THAT SHE SAW DAVID AND NICKO IN THE FUCKING BATHROOM?!--" She huffs and puffs , and she looks at David with a menacing look. "Ain't that right, You love fucking virgins? Isn't that why you're trying to get close to Lianne and Leanna?" Leanna gasps and runs away crying, not even looking when David shouts for her to come back, Lianne raises her hoodie to hide her face. "In..the bathroom?" Ken asks. "Ken. Why don't you tell everyone about the time that you dragged one of our classmates to the locker room and you beat the shit out of them and when the teachers saw you trying to "comfort" them, you said they fell down the stairs. What was her name again? Louise? She was just trying to teach you how to answer the math equation." Kylie cries with alligator tears, Ken balls his hands into fists with anger. " AND HEY LEANNA. WHY DON'T YOU TELL DAVID HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM? DON'T YOU LOVE HIM? DIBA?!" Kylie shouts in anger before falling to her knees, about to rip her hair off her head. She starts to cry blood. "Why....Why? WHY ?!" She shrills, crying in pain. " HOY TANGINA! WHY DID NOBODY SAVE ME?!" Her eyes turn black and the ground underneath her cracks open and she screams as she falls into the hole.
Nobody looked at each other. Nobody helped her. Nobody moved. They stared at the hole. They all closed their eyes and hoped that none of that was real. They wished that whatever transported them into other places to transport them away from each other.
"Hey, guys. Let's make a deal" Lianne puts her hand infront of their faces. "Deal? What is this you 're dealing? One's life?" Reuel says, and putting his hand ontop of hers. "Geez don't be an idiot! The deal is, to not keep secrets from each other, no matter how harsh or humiliating or whatever it is." Joshua tilts his head and raises an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that?" He laughs. Lianne sighs. "Let's just do it!" Lianne pulls everybody's hands in together and makes a group toast.
First to leave was Leanna, followed by Daviid, looking at David with anger. David tries to chase after them but was pushed forcefully by Joshua, holding tightly onto a small red handkerchief . "Joshua, why do you have that?" David asks, yet Joshua continues to walk away, ignoring David. "Joshua!" Joshua runs away. Yet again, Joshua wasn't able to confront his anger and fear. Ken just slowly walks away, still his focus is onto Joshua, he makes a run for it. David falls onto his knees.
Joshua sighs as he goes out the cabin. He spots Kylie by the balcony, looking at the beach. She holds onto a small red handkerchief. "You know," She speaks. "I could be getting drunk somewhere or getting raped by someone, but someone reminded me that no matter how fucked up I am, or how cruel the world is, I should stand up." Joshua's eyes widen. "W-who is--" She turns around. " And they told me if i meet someone like them, i should give this to them to continue the honor." She hands him the handkerchief and goes back to looking at the beach view. He looks at the handkerchief and without asking another time, "Her name's Louise. Altar Server like Reuel. She gave me that when there was this school shooter at our school. That was the last time i saw her alive. She was my first love. We broke up before the school shooter arrived. But she still came back to me, asking for forgiveness. Last thing i told her before they shot her was that i forgive her." Kylie hiccups, tears falling down her face. Joshua hugged her from behind. "We're here for you." He comforts her. "Thanks.... By the way.. be careful of that David." Joshua lets go of her and pockets the handkerchief ."Why is that?" Joshua asks.
"He's the one the shot up our school and killed Louise."
Both David and Joshua knew Louise was never missing. Nobody just found her body.
Lianne just walks away and doesn't say a word. Nicko glitches away somewhere far away from everyone else. Reuel stares at the ground, he looks at David who was crying. He holds onto a piece of Kylie's sleeve, he smiles and just runs towards the hole. And he jumps in.
He lands on his feet in front of a crooked path. Straight ahead was Kylie sitting in a throne yet something was different about her. Her hair was frizzy and blood tears were coming out of her eyes. Her clothes were torn and her shoes were gone. She was covered in blood in some parts. He walks towards her. The screams of the souls of the dead were echoing throughout the area. Reuel bows and when he looks up, his eyes have darkened. "My queen." Kylie looks at him and smiles. "Make haste and slaughter them." She commands. A mask falls infront of Reuel and he grabs it. He collapses and when he wakes up, he saw David roaming around in a town.
A sword is his hand. Obsidian. He puts on the mask. "You are the servant." A voice whispers into his ear. It's Louise. No. Not Louise. She changed her name long time ago when she died.
