Spoiler: If you have not finished the anime series, read at your own risk.
Author's Note: This is a rewrite and I need to keep my story coherent, so I have kept my perspective to one character in the series.
The sky is full of colors. It is not like the clouds, yet it is part of the clouds. My eyes hurt. Light comes through the clouds and in the process creates more colors. These hues are different, some are blue, yellow, but the rest I cannot recognize. The world is cold. Some one yells my name.
"Re-l! Jump now!" Vincent did not die, he lives. For a reason I did not know why I became relieved when I saw his face. Those greens eyes penetrate my body. His body stands still as if nothing can bring him down. The perfect contender. We must travel; away from my home and to the great unknown. This brings excitement, but at the same time dread, almost trivial.
"Shut Up!" I stare back at him. Ready to make the next move to be ready to kill him. The main mission is not down yet the prey is still alive. One trigger to penetrate his skin and decimate his body to smithereens. Analyzing our surroundings, the light blinds me. In the process, I cannot see Vincent well enough.
The city is in ruins as I look back at it. The combustion from the destruction leaves a foul smell in the air. The color gray brings contrast to itself due to the sky high above us. Another voice is heard. It is Pino. She waves her arms into the air as to say hello. She is smiling. No, she is jumping, I cannot tell; for, I feel dizzy.
"Re-l!!" Someone screams my name again, as I fall down into the land below, toward the sky as it begins to get bigger as I fall away from it. Warm arms grab me. It is probably Vincent, you can never rely on him some times, but when the time comes he is the only one. He looks different, his features went through a metamorphosis: an angular jaw, muscular arms, sparkles in his eyes as he seems to be in a reverie. Everything turns dark.
The sound of Pino playing her instrument wakes me up. She is such an annoying autoreiv. All of a sudden a throb in my cerebrum aches inside, causing me to flinch. Pino continues to play outside as the walls laugh against the wind. The smell of the room is easy on the nose, but I cannot even see my hands in front of me. Am I blind? No, there is something covering them. I have only noticed it until now, but I can tell if Vincent is nearby. It is his scent. An aroma that attracts me to him.
"Vincent!" I screamed, so this is what it feels to alone, no one to take care of you. The autoreivs kept us company.
Foot-steps rush toward. I hear breathing and feel the heat omitting from his body. Vincent has not said a word. Is he staring a me? The room temperature feels like it is rising every second Vincent stays in the space that we are in. I do not want to open my eyes to see what he sees. Something else distracts me for a while and it is the sound of Pino's instrument as it is lost in the background as I listen to Vincent's heart-beat.
"Thump, thump, thump, thump" He respires in and out, as I feel his chest move up and down. The world beyond these walls to do not exist; it is only us two. Sweat on my fore head drips down to my eyebrow, mixing with my eye-shadow. I have found out that my makeup supply is not going to last long at this rate. I digress. We are vagabonds now. No home to go to. How are we going to survive? There are still many questions that need answers, but Romdo is finished. Few escaped, yet they have to adapt to the conditions of the outside world. I was lucky you could say.
"Re-l, get up! Pino had a dream last night we are near a dome city." Why did he have to wake me up now?! I was having a wonder dream. Wait! That whole thing was a dream? Some times it is hard to tell what is reality and what my minds thinks of next. I open my eyes for the first time in a while.
Author's Note: Thanks for reading it; say what you think. Changes are inevitable, so I'll update on my own pace.
