Grief
It was the usual bright sunny morning at District 7. Birds were chirping everywhere. Yet the surrounding atmosphere was anything but solemn and gloomy. Bishops and clergyman were dressed in black, paying their respect to the young boy that was just buried. A petite girl with a blank face and emotionless eyes was standing among the adults. However the grief that struck through her very core at the moment was such that it could have send every single standing man writhing on the ground in agony. That was the extend of her guilt and grief. She knew something had happened to her brother.
It was just the usual afternoon in the Celestine household.
"Rinka, help me water the plants, it's the blooming season." Karein Celestine called out.
"Yes Father, I'm on it."
Rinka skipped over the front garden and sprayed a mist of moisture over the leaves and shrubs. Suddenly dark and ominous clouds started covering the sky in a matter of seconds. "Father, it seems as though a storm is approaching!" Rinka yelled. There was no reply though. "Father" Rinka called out again. As she turned around, she gasped in horror on the spot that her father had been standing just seconds before. Instead she saw a chair with her brother strapped upon, being tortured by a huge skeleton wearing what seems to be the military uniform. "Teito or your family?" The skeleton sneered. Rinka could only watched in horror as the huge skeleton suck the soul out of her brother, leaving him half dead. "Mikage!" Rinka screamed as she dashes forward, knocking over something hard.
"Rinka, come back to Earth now!"
Rinka blinked as her father comes into her field of vision. She was lying on the grass patch gasping for air. Her face was pale and her eyes were wide and bewildered.
" Father, it's Mikage, something terrible…" Darkness consumed her, leaving no chance for her to finish her sentence.
"Rinka" a soothing voice called out from afar. "Rinka, wake up." Rinka opened her eyes and found herself staring into her brother's face. " Mikage! Are you hurt?" Rinka cried out as she hugged her brother. "Hush, Rinka, everything is all right now" The soothing voice assured. " I've got to go now, remember to live on."
"Mikage!" Rinka croaked before she was blinded by an extremely dazzling light.
As Rinka opened her eyes, she was lying on her bed in her room. She put on her bedroom slippers, taking note of the calendar on the wall as she walked towards the door. " I have been asleep for three days!" She noted. She strolled towards the living room only to find the tear streaked face of her father and her other two brothers.
Her eyes widen in surprised. Her other two brothers seldom visit the house. She felt an uncomfortable knot in her stomach and knew what had happened. She could guessed by the look on her father's face.
" We're dropping by District 7 to attend Mikage's funeral." Karein Celestine announced.
When the funeral was ending, Rinka kept her gaze fixed upon the supposedly three bishops that were currently talking to three sisters. She kept her face blank as she stared at the three skeletons that was currently in her field of vision, noting that the people around her doesn't seem to be aware of this fact. It was exactly like the skeleton that tortured her brother, except their aura doesn't seemed to be as deadly. "They must know something about my brother's death" Rinka thought and spins around quickly when one of the skeleton stared back at her.
As she walked towards her father, she noticed a small framed boy with miserable green eyes standing in front of her brother's tombstone.
"That must be Teito." She noted mentally.
