Not Happy to End

Chapter 1 – Who Knows?

...

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of this; character, place etc., It belongs to Ntreev & KOG, but I only got their character once in a while for further fictional use. :))

Note: Minors only, (XD) it wasn't intended for adults and childish-like stuff. More on tragedy and romance. Some were gore and chilling on the upcoming next chapters yet; please enjoy. :)

...I won't give a damn... Not for her, no... I'd prefer to be alone than to be with her...

She's freaking annoying, and I dislike her for her attitude. If that's the case, I'd rather die mercilessly in this mission, most likely to fail rather than I'd be with her...

"Not a chance," Knight Master told me. "I've sent you all in pairs. You must follow, Ronan."

"Uhhh. I hate it. I hate you all!" I just said in annoyance. If I am not away a few days before, truly I had picked up Lire for sure. But nah, Knight Master's mood was quite wavy these past few days so she's—outta mood for giving me a chance. Crazy. Just crazy. I hate this.

We were about to leave for the given quest, when Jin approached me.

"If you did something to my girlfriend that I wouldn't like, huh. You're gonna end up beaten up like eggs in the morning." He taunted. How Funny. It's like he scared me out of my wits!

Then Lire came by, saying; "Wish you luck, Abyss." And then she kissed me. Err... I wasn't expecting that. I kissed her back. Then, being called, she broke away.

"Eh, come on guys! There's no time for romance!" Arme shouted. Uh. I think she's boasting only because her pair was Lass. Great. Just great!

We traveled far, from southwest to far north. I wasn't that excited. I was doomed to death. The bad part is; she keeps singing—maybe all afternoon? I was getting sick and tired from hearing it.

"Will you please shut your pie hole? Please, I'm a quiet person and I don't want anything or any person to mess up with!" I said. She shrugged, and pranced along the way, and felt like she rules. I was getting crazy. I was sick. I was disgusted. Unfortunately, I have nothing to do. If I quitted the quest, I'd be stranded on the training grounds within two months—without sleeping on my very own room.

Within these three months in Achaemedia, I'd still be happy, despite the cold climate and unsteady weather. With Lass, we traveled merrily and without hesitation. I just broke the silence and talked.

"Umm, since when did you and Ronan had known each other?" I asked, curious.

"Ronan? Since I moved into Grand Chase, and adjusted within twenty-seven days, that is. I knew him, and we became great friends, and much better, we're alliances." He said cheerfully, without a doubt.

"Oh," I said. "It's a nice thing you have an alliance," I said, smiling.

"What about you? Any alliances?" he asked me. I thought about someone, but I can't tell him.

"M-me? Oh, of course, it was Amy." I just lied. Amy was the worst—worst name I had ever lied to my own boyfriend. We never became good friends either! I just don't know why she erupted on my mind.

"Okay." He nodded. "I think Amy is great, but she lacks in potential power. She's high in spirit, but I doubt her power and skills." He said. Quite enough for underestimating her capacity in fighting.

We walked further, and found camp one. Two pairs were already there; Sieghart and Mari, and then Lire and Ryan. We were the third who just arrived.

"Attendance everybody," Knight Master said, waving a long list of hers in the air.

"Eh? I'm supposed to do that, Knight Master." I suggested. I just thought, Knight Master's job is way too bad—she hasn't got any sleep yet since the last three days. Or so I thought. I just wanted to lessen the burden she had.

Soon enough we're already here and we're all set to fight. Only, there is a night were Knight Master will pick one of us to lead on a certain mission, and I hope it wasn't me. I hate being a leader. There was one time that; I fail at leadership. I suck at it.

Anyways, here comes Ronan and Amy, who seems tired, and came lastly.

"Heya everybody!" Amy greeted. I don't know she's got so much energy stored. She's too cheerful.

"Alright," Knight Master started. We were about to go picking leaders. "First we have to know if there are any volunteers. Well, anyone could be, but I'm choosing a certain person with such initiative and great intellect to lead the team on. Okay, so, any volunteers?" she said. I really don't feel like one but, I felt a little uncomfortable when Ryan raised his hand. I could see Lire's face in disgust.

I just thought "Ryan! Was going to be the leader of the first mission? Yuck!" I remembered the last time he was elected as an officer of a mission. He really sucks at giving out orders, and he abuses his rank. In short he was taking it for granted. He just wanted power and authority. I hate him.

"Eh? Ryan? Are you sure about your volunteerism? I just don't think the job will suit you—"Lire said.

"And yeah, Knight Master won't allow you to be one." Ronan said. Knight Master stood up.

"I'm not allowing you, Ryan." She said. Whew.

"Oh come on! I want to be a leader—just this once!" he protested.

"Once? You've been given out many chances but you didn't take it too seriously!" Knight Master said.

"Okay, nobody else volunteered so we have to do a vote. Who will vote for Lass?" she said.

"Huh?" I heard Lass said. Probably he wouldn't want to be a leader. I guess so.

"Knight Master? I'm not capable of doing that, so..." He said, protesting, too.

"Well then, for Elesis?" Three of them raised their hands. And well, the voting goes on. It really took time since we had a long night. And guess who won? Yeah, Mari and Ronan had a close fight, but I voted Ronan so...He won. And there are no regrets. No doubts and complaints. Everything will go well too.

"Me? What—I can't—Am I supposed to—No, you can't do this guys," he said.

"If you can't be, who else does? I mean, as I have seen, nobody wants a title. But one should be a lead. Take it please, do not hesitate. So, everyone, prepare for sleep, we are going to wake up and travel early in the morning." Knight Master ordered.

I think it wasn't going to be easy for Ronan. I passed him by the camp; as I, looking for firewood to warm the night. He was staring at the dark starry sky, sitting on the tall green grasses of the earth.

"It's not a big deal." I said.

"What big deal?" he said, maybe, surprised to see me there.

"You know, that you are chosen as the leader of this mission. It's not bad after all," I replied.

"Well," he said, standing. "I really don't feel like being a leader. It's not in my blood, you know."

"Me neither." I said as I gathered the twigs that were scattered. I wasn't expecting him to answer me like that. Well, I was expecting a little bit—more mature answer, I guess? Or is it just me? Whatever it was, it was none of my concern.

"What do you feel?" I asked him.

"I just feel glad that the team was happy to pick me, but me myself don't understand what I'm feeling right now." He said.

"Don't worry. Be calm. Chill, Okays?" I said, ready to leave.

"Right. I'm going back to camp." He said as we parted ways. I felt something was bothering him. Like, it wasn't him after all. But, who knows, right? He may be only adjusting in this place. But either way, yeah. I may be tired too...

"You know what? I'm gonna leave for sure!" I said in annoyance.

"What—Why on earth?" he said, as he throws his hands at the air.

"Coz' you always annoy me! I'm freaking sick of you! I can't really bear it!" I said, getting out of the room.

"Amy!" he said, following me.

"I can't be with you anymore! Goodbye, FOREVER!" words just went out of my mouth. I dunno. But, who wouldn't be mad if your boyfriend was having an affair with other girl? I mean, duh! It's unfair! You gave all and then he seeks out for others? That's freaking annoying!

"W-what's the matter?" Mari asked me as I saw her while I walk briskly outside.

"Oh, what's the matter? I'm asking you, will you be happy if your pesky little boyfriend was having another girl besides you?" I asked, outraged.

"Err, no—why the ask?" she said, putting her glasses on.

"Ask him!" I said as I pointed to Jin, who followed me.

"Wait, I'll explain!" he said. Huh! As if I'm giving him another chance!

Knight Master went out. She maybe had heard our loud conversation. Very loud indeed, there's much intense, too. I could feel the heat.

"What's happening? I told you guys to head back to camp! Why are you still awake, eh? Don't you know what time is it?" she said. Knight Master is the Law. Yeah, I agree with that.

"Well please, stop. Save your raged self for tomorrow. The battle is more powerful than that. Please do not engage in fights." She said. Well, I'm happy we followed, but my anger still welled up inside me. I could really feel it. Anyways, like what Knight Master had said, I'd like to save my energy and power for the coming battle...

Dawn. I woke up and prepared my things. There wasn't so much for me to do, so I just walked and let my thoughts pass. Just like the sun, everybody was up and like me, they prepared too. Ronan, being the team leader, arranged the team so they'll know what strategy they will take. I walked over to them and listened;

"Hold on, I can't follow you, you're too fast." Lire said, while Ryan scratched his head saying "Never mind."

Ronan gathered the team so that he could start assigning every one of us a strategy.

"First of all, we need a front line, but since that we're only ten; there should be only two in front, three on the next, four on the next line, and one back-up for buffs and potions."

"I'll go for the back-up." I volunteered. So that the heavy task for him to give wasn't assigned to me.

"But Arme," Elesis said, "You have a wide-ranged type of weapon. Why would you take the last line if you're too much strong for it?" Eh? Protests? I glared at her.

"It is, Elesis. But, we should have two melees to attack from the front, and then, two melees and one long range, then—"Mari was interrupted.

"No, what if, I, Elesis and Jin forms the front line, Lire, Lass and Amy was the second line, which was great for secondary attacks because Amy can give us additional defense, then Arme, Ryan and Mari would be the third, most especially that Arme can give some firebolts and add some combos, so, only Sieghart was left so, you have no choice but to be the back up." Ronan explained. Quite long but, it helped a lot.

"Me? Oh sure! I'd love to be the last. But isn't it more essential for me to be in the front—because I'm the immortal one?" he said. Not again.

"Hey you," Jin said. "Not just because you're immortal, doesn't mean you have to treat us like we're dumb. Hello! For your information, you should be last because your head is too big for the job!" If kindness could have killed, Knight Master would be dead for sure. Because she just let him be that way. I heard that Jin had also fought up with Amy last night. And Knight Master just warned them. The hell with it. We're screwed up. What more if the battle came? We're gonna be dead.

"Uh, stop. Do you still remember your positions?" Ronan said, as if just reminding us.

"Yeah, we do. Can we go now?" Ryan said impatiently.

"Yes, you can go first and die." Lire said sarcastically. That's awful.

"Come," Knight Master said, walking away already. Since the camp that was set had already gone, there is only one thing to do. Go and fight. No turning back now. I have to finish this.

"Let's begin..." Ronan said, as he leads, and we followed.

I'm sure I heard my heart throbbed fast, and I was uneasy of this plan. In this battle, we could die, lose hope, run out of potion, we could lack in alliance power and a little bit of cheering. Maybe I'm just nervous but, I think I can do this. With the help of the team, and our powerful weapons, who else could easily stand our way and defeat us?

After all, who knows, right? We could start a new beginning...

Author's Note:

Oh, finally! After Five long days. I had finished this six-paged chappie. Well, I had trouble having an idea for the next chapter. So if you had any ideas, just message it to me..ü

Since there are LOTS of activities in our school this month, I don't think I can finish this whole season again. So, please don't expect, but me? I expect the expected. :))
