~Preview: Assassin's Love~
"Iron Scrap."
"Comet Crasher!"
Barrages of sharp iron pieces pierced into the Deadly Chaser's white armor as Chung bombarded the area with merciless ammo. Eve was pushed back as she waved her arm around, forming small dust of metal around her and spear-like wings appeared behind her back along with a light pink aura. Chung clicked his tongue as he reloaded his Destroyer.
He glared at Eve with deep hate as Eve merely stared stared back with an emotionless gaze. She flicked her hair back and dashed forward. Chung pushed back on his heels and launched himself towards Eve. Both sides decided to release another attack, until..
"Stop! Both of you are friends! Why are you fighting with each other?!"
"She's not a friend! She's an enemy! She's the one who murdered my father! If it wasn't for her, Hamel wouldn't be in ruins. And I wouldn't have to become a cold hearted murderer as I am now!"
"Chung! You don't even know the reason why she killed your father! Did you even realized that your very own father was behind the in-!"
Rena was interrupted with a slap from Eve. Eve glared at Rena with no compassion. Eve clenched her fists and looked at Chung. Behind those emotionless eyes, Eve felt guilt and sadness.
"Chung. I am the one who killed your father. I'll take responsibility."
With those words, Eve walked forward and held Chung's hand that held the Silver Shooters. Her pale hand grabbed the Silver Shooters and raised it up to her head. Eve smiled softly as her eyes held deep emotions. Chung's cerulean eyes that held deep hate disappeared as it was replaced with gentleness and love.
"Chung... You shouldn't trust me so much. You won't know when I'll betray you."
A pale hand pushed Chung away as Eve looked away with her long bangs covering her eyes. Her black dress with white and lines of rosy pink swayed by the gentle breeze. Chung stared at her for a moment before smiling softly and hugging her from behind. He slowly took his scarf off and wrapped it around Eve's delicate neck.
"No... I believe in you. Eve is not the type to betray someone so easily. Also..."
Chung turned her around. Sharp golden eyes met with gentle cerulean eyes. Chung's hand pushed away the messy bangs, hiding Eve's eyes. He smiled as he softly whispered into her ears.
"I think you're the most beautiful girl when your bangs aren't hiding your eyes."
"Liar... I'm not going to fall for that."
Despite her words, Eve was faintly blushing, unlike her usual emotionless self. Chung grinned as he held Eve in his arms. He laid his head against her head, remembering her scent. The scent of jasmines and lilacs..
"I'll never lie to Eve."
"Chung... Why do you even bother cutting my hair?"
"So you can be prettier. And I've been wanting to do this for quite a while."
"I don't need to be pretty... My occupation is an assassin. To kill. I doubt the ones I'm killing will even see what I look like."
Eve stared at the mirror in front of her. Chung was holding a pair of scissors, silently layering Eve's soft silver hair. Her former hairstyle was always hiding her eyes. He smiled softly before snipping one last time and proud of his work.
Eve couldn't understand why Chung even bothered cutting it. It was perfectly fine the way it was before, but... She was grateful for his actions. Eve silently, yet politely bowed to him as he chuckled. As she looked up, Chung's hand was softly caressing her cheek, staring deeply into her golden eyes. A warm sensation surged within Eve as remained a poker face.
The first day, Chung was brought in with chains and shackles. His armor and weapon were taken away from him. Chung looked around with slight panic and his cerulean eyes met with golden ones. Short silver hair that framed her face. Eve stared at Chung before tugging on a masked person's sleeves, whispering something in their ears.
"Let him go. Prince Chung Seiker of Hamel.. Would you like to serve for us as assassins?"
"Assassins... I'm a Guardian of Hamel. I can't become an assassin out of nowhere! Who are you?! My father... He'll surely rescue me."
"Dream on. That guy has always been harsh on you. He's your father, yet he's never acted like one or have the responsibilities as one. Being an assassin.. You get to be free from him. And.. You get to kill. Also... We're a family. We're different from normal assassins."
A red head came out from behind Eve and looked at Chung with blazing red eyes. Soon, a ebony black haired girl, tied in a long ponytail walked out with a spring green haired girl. The two girls smiled softly before the one with spring green rush back inside and dragged a jet black haired boy with a scar under his eye.
"Raven! No need to be shy~"
"I'm not being shy. I'm merely not being nosy. I don't care whether or not that prince from Hamel would join us as insane killers. He'd rather sit on his throne, and wait for his father's orders. Just like a loyal puppy. What? They're all true facts. No need to glare at me like that."
Raven returned Chung's glare with an emotionless gaze. The red head sighed as he leaned against his huge sword. Ebony black and spring green haired shook their heads and raised their arms.
"Raven. That's enough. Chung Seiker, right? How would you know if your father would save you? Sure, we kidnapped you, but... Did we harm you? You haven't shed a single drop of blood. Your father... Has never acknowledge of your existence, but.. We will. We can promise that. Also.. Wouldn't you want to evolve your current strength and make others acknowledge you?"
Golden eyes stared into cerulean ones as Eve knelt down in front of Chung. Chung bit his lower lip before nodding his head silently. At that moment, the red head swung his blade and the shackles and chains were slashed into pieces.
"Welcome to the team! I'm Elsword!"
"Raven."
"Rena~ It's a pleasure to have a prince such as you join us."
"Ara! Nice to meet you!"
"Eve.."
"We have another member, but she's currently out. We'll introduce her to you as soon as she gets back."
Elsword and the others surrounded Chung as he looked around. For a moment, Chung felt... True happiness. He was.. Acknowledged.
"Thank you, Chung... For everything."
Eve pressed the trigger to the Silver Shooter that was pointing directly at her head. However, Eve was still standing and there were no signs of her getting injured. A bullet fell down as a bleeding hand stopped the bullet. Eve stared at Chung in shock as he dropped his Silver Shooters.
Chung grabbed Eve's hand and his weapons before pulling her away. Rena stared at them for a long time before sighing deeply. She smiled softly, holding her cheek and rubbing it. Slowly, drops of rain fell from the sky as it darkens. Slowly and slowly... The rain continued to grow harder and harder.
'Eve... Don't let Chung slip out of your hands. You deserve happiness.. Killing Chung's father... You're not in the wrong. He is. He was already... Dead from the start. The day Chung was brought in was when his father was already gone from existence. It's over 4 years... He was also behind the constant murders of royal families and the demons invasion. You had to hide the truth from Chung. You'd rather have the truth buried and let your hands be stained while hiding the truth from Chung. Eve, you're... Protecting Chung in your own way, but.. Let yourself have some fun and happiness..'
An awkward silence filled the air as Eve and Chung avoided each other's glance. They were safe from public. They remained in a peaceful inn, together in the same room. The room was dark with the exception of the lightning. Chung took a glance at Eve from his corner. Eve was curled up into a ball, hiding her face, sitting on the bed's soft mattress.
"Chung... Will you forgive me?"
"What makes you think that I'll forgive you? Are you confident that I'll forgive you so easily? Even if my father was a treacherous person.. Even if he was unforgivable.. You shouldn't have ended his life! I... I wasn't appreciated nor was I noticed. My existence in his eyes was never there in the first place, but... He's still my father. A family will always be a family.."
"Sorry.. I.. Never considered your feelings. I was merely being selfish. I felt that... If you're still tied to Hamel and your father.. Then one day, you'll eventually leave. I didn't think.. Emotions would be such a hassle. Chung.. I hate you, but... I also have these weird feelings that calms me down and reveals my thoughts only to you. I'm not so confident that you'll forgive me so easily, but.. All I wish for is... Your forgiveness, then.. I'm satisfied."
Once again, the silence was carried on. Eve's chest ached, but she doesn't know why exactly. During her years of continuous killing, she has felt many sort of pain, but.. None of them felt as painful as this simple ache. Chung bit down on his lower lip, revealing a small stream of red liquid, slowly rolling down. He sat up and walked towards Eve. He abruptly grabbed her hands and pinned them above her head with one hand.
"I won't forgive you so easily, but... Stay by my side forever... Tonight.. Just relax and be in my arms.."
Chung pressed his lips on Eve's as she shyly returned it. She got away from Chung's grip and wrapped her arms around his neck. In the darkness, Eve was slowly letting herself relax as Chung led her, pressing their bodies together.
"Phantom Breathing."
Aisha mutters under her breath, summoning Petit Angor in front of her, unleashing a dark energy. It trapped Lento inside while Aisha casts a poisonous smoke around him. Aisha continuously tortured him while the Rune Slayer pitied the poor guy.
"Aisha. Isn't it about time you stop torturing the poor guy? He looks like he's going to die any time soon."
"Elsword. We live for killing.. And you're no better than me. Probably even worse."
"How so~? I think Eve, Raven, Rena, and Chung are the cruel ones. They always end the target so quickly. I believe.. They should at least feel some pain and show some emotions. At least.. Scream out as loud as they can!"
The dark energy disappeared along with the poisonous smoke, Elsword launched himself forward and grabbed Lento's throat. He slammed Lento against the cold, hard wall as he slowly twist a dagger in Lento's flesh. Of course... That resulted in a loud scream of pain while Elsword just continued to smirk.
"Like that. Well, I'm done for today. If you see Raven, tell him to be sure to lock his doors or some rats will get inside."
Raven stabbed his fingers into an innocent civilian's eyes, digging into the inner core of the eye sockets. He stared at them with an emotionless gaze while Ara was busy wrapping bandages around a white bunny's body. She hummed softly, waiting for Raven to finish his little "fun". She sat on a wooden chair while Raven was pinning the civilian against the wall with daggers.
"Raven~? Are you done yet? I've been waiting for nearly an hour for you!"
"You're exaggerating. Again. It's been merely 5 minutes."
"Eh~?"
Ara smiled sweetly, and... Behind that smile was a deadly killing intent. Behind them, Rena appeared soaking wet. Raven and Ara stared with wide eyes before rushing over to Rena.
"Rena?!"
"What happened?!"
"No... Nothing happened. It's just.. I spaced out in the middle of the field and... I realized that it was raining and it eventually got harder..."
'Rain.. Has never been a good sign and.. I doubt it'll ever be any good.'
"Let's go back?"
"In this rain?"
"Yeah... I think it's better than hiding from the rain. We might even have some fun. Although... Small chance that we'll get sick, but.."
"Better than nothing. Let's go."
Raven finished Rena's sentence and led them to outside. Rena stared at the rain before smiling brightly. She twirled around and let herself be free. Raven stand aside as Ara joined her.
'Rain may not be a good sign, but.. I also believe.. That it's the whole reason why we're connected in a way. Rain sometimes have it's good and bad side..'
