"I'll do it! I really will so don't try to lie to me again!"
Her screams were the only sound in the room. But of course they had come on deaf ears.
"Bellen, we all know you have no reason to-"
Bellenka raised the knife higher to prove her point. At the sight of this, Darief had silenced once again. Kariet had stepped up now. "Bell, please listen. You shouldn't do this! It isn't right!
We don't want you to be gone forever!
We'd miss you so much, Belle! P-please! S-stop...ngh." Kariet's voice suddenly cracked into a fit of sobs as she fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands. Bellenka looked over to her best friend and almost cried herself. It tore her up to see Kariet cry but she never once faultered from her stance.
"I'm sorry, Kayet. But for what he's done-" she looked to Darief "I can't risk this much pain again..."
Elliot had had about enough of this. He hated that he knew he couldn't change Bellenka's mind even if he tried but when he sees his Hikari cry, then that's the final straw.
"Damnit Belle! Listen to your fucking brain instead of your heart! Think about this for one second!
Do you think anyone would benefit from you dying? Is that what you really want?
I can't help but feel sorry for you! Giving up when you have so much ahead! All of us would be teared up if you did this! Kayet is already torn up!
If your going to do it, be my guest! I thought you were better than this!"
Kariet looked up at Elliot with a tear stricken face. "Eli...please...d-don't say that..." Elliot moved his eyes to his Hikari's fallen figure. All he wanted to do was scoop her up in his arms and hold her until she ceased crying. But the only way she will be happy once more is if he stopped Bellenka from doing this.
Bellenka faltered at this. Her own brother...wanted her dead? It was bad enough the man she had given her heart had broken it in two but now?
Her world came crashing on her.
'He wants me to do it...all of them do...Fine. Have it your way!' "Have it your way!" Her last thought was said out loud as she raised her blade up to her throat.
"Belle!"
"Don't!"
"Stop!"
Everything passed by as if they were on a timer. It seemed to stand still as Darief ran to Bellenka. But it was too late.
'Goodbye, my love.'
The blade penetrated her throat as she was tackled by Darief.
She had heard what he had said,
"I love you."
Bellenka was stunned.
He loved her?
'He really does love me?'
Why?
Why had she killed herself, she could've moved on, she had everyone right behind her the whole way so...
'Why?'
She felt faint as she took her last breath. She had whispered words that were like family to her. She knew those words quite well.
"I love you...too..."
Bellenka fell to the floor as Darief had landed on top of her. He got up and panicked.
He heard those last words.
'No...'
"BELLE!"
