Ok I am new here so much to everyone, I started to see PH in 2013, what time those where I was just a brat, now that I am a young man I am happy to write this, I know perfectly well that this story could be strongly criticized, That happened to a friend and I do not want to make the same mistake.

But Add, why a GilxAda? good question, I do not know where to start but it will be brief, I like the match very much even though the story says otherwise, that's all, so enjoy this work

Ablaze 1: Taker

At times, Gil had a disturbing feeling in his chest, which he kept secret, sometimes he believed that emotion was the culprit that, for many years, he could not make friends or understand others, that is why he closed that feeling , making sure no one knew of its existence.

He touched his face with his left hand, feeling the cold that it caused him, in front of him was the old mansion which he used to call "home", now they were only ruins of what he once was, there were only dark colors in that place there was nothing left.

Perhaps the fact of having to return to the Rainsworth mansion was somewhat uncomfortable for Gilbert, since recently there was a certain "guest" staying there, not to say that it was Oz's little sister.

Gilbert knew that the day had arrived, he took his hat donated by Ada and only devoted himself to admire it, he still remembered the day he was given it, he could never forget it in such an easy way, but why Gil did not feel like it. to return?.

There was a rumor he received for his brother Elliot, who said that his other brother Vincent was interested in a certain girl from the Vessalius family, immediately filled with insecurities and several questions, was it okay to feel that way? so sad and melancholy?.

"I ... merely wish to reach the end of this road ..."

Gilbert also said while looking at the sad state of that construction, it was as if the mansion will reflect how he felt inside, although of course, Gil was somewhat proud to admit that he felt bad.

Thinking of his brother and Ada together made his stomach turn around trying to expel all the discomfort that was inside, it was unfair to Gilbert but he could not complain about something that was never born, that's right! Gilbert had no opinion in this matter and this fact was enough to make him feel an emptiness.

Every day since Ada's visit, Gilbert came to this place to feel calm and find some kind of solution to the internal conflicts with which he had to deal, he was afraid that the situation would get out of hand.

The ground was wet and covered with moss, the ferns grew like giants, covering the sky in case they needed a last breath, the trunks of the trees, huddled pitifully despite pointing their branches up, they seemed dry and old, the wind It seemed to be an eternal lament of lost souls.

"I haven't felt this atmosphere of combat fields for a long time… never really wanted to come back, though…"

Gilbert's interior was like being inside the fire, there was probably still the possibility of claiming Ada as his wife, but that was how to face a hurricane using only his hands, something difficult but not impossible, at least that was his idea.

Gilbert had decided, no longer needed to continue his life in silence, now he had to think very well how to make Ada reject Vincent, which in itself was quite risky and even impossible, was his happiness or that of his brother and Ada, he knew very well that Ada is in love with Vincent and that already made things more difficult than they already were.

He did not feel anything, although he seemed to be strong, he could not fit into a world for which he was not created, born to be something and never someone, born to listen and obey, but without the possibility of being heard or asking for help.

Why now had to be different? Gilbert still had a very small chance to avoid being a victim of this terrible catastrophe, he thought that if indeed this was worth it, he was still confused if he had to do something untimely and expel everything he has inside, but his greatest fear was to be rejected and hated by Ada.

If he did things right then he could make the woman with whom he had been dreaming for so long, it was irrational and stupid to create something that could never be born, something that everyone would despise, so he decided in spite of all the points against.

Gilbert ran wide as he slipped through the different environments of the road, his heart palpitated and his face had turned pale as a ghost, he was about to do the greatest madness of his life, it was worth trying.

The young man had been running for the last ten minutes and was not planning to take a break until he thought of Ada, the visualizations of his other brother and Ada having a happy life together and it was too painful to think about, that was enough to pierce the young man's heart, that hurt a lot.

"Vincent could not have gotten to it yet, I hope ... it takes at least 50 minutes to get to the Rainsworth mansion by carriage, in no way could he have gotten there" Gilbert thought rationally, when he turned in the next block, accidentally a cook poured a liquid in Gilbert's clothes.

"What is this shit! It stinks like a sewer!"

"I'm so sorry young for soaking it with fish soup, apparently I added a mixture of the wrong spices giving it that terrible smell"

"Fish soup? that's bad, the smell will attract the stray cats...oh god! cats again! I have to hurry before it's too late"

Gilbert got up to run again, the bad smell could eliminate him later, it did not matter if his luck worsened, there were more things at stake, after advancing five more blocks, Gilbert heard a roar and then was run over by what seemed to be a furious horse .

The blow was so strong that he fell to the ground in a hard sound feeling a horrible pain afterwards, looked back to see that he was actually hit by a horse.

"What the hell is going on today? maybe nobody wants me to get to the damn mansion!" Gilbert exclaimed, already very hurt by the brutal attack.

"Are you okay?" Asked a man apparently the owner of the horse, he approached Gilbert to verify that it was in optimal condition.

"I'm fine, a simple attack can not with me, now I can not stop, now I have to see someone important!"

"Could it be a girl?"

"That's right, I was a fool not realizing that I need her by my side, now I have to convince her that I'm worthy"

"I wish you the best of luck and I hope that girl accepted your feelings, eventually if she wants you then they will be together"

"Woah thanks! I want that too, see ya!"

He hardly stood up even though his chest and shoulders ached, he always kept smiling and ran again.

He turned off at the last corner and came into view of the main street where the luxurious Rainsworth mansion was, Gilbert ran with a little hope, still had the opportunity to get to it before his worst nightmare came true, there was no time anymore.

He reached the easiest part of the road that remained before the imposing mansion, but Gilbert's legs surrendered from exhaustion, he fell to the dusty road and allowed himself to feel his legs half dead again and try to recover all the oxygen he had spent. through their already weak lungs.

"Damn it, I definitely have to stop smoking!"

Then, suddenly he remembered that he was in a race against time with his other brother, he jumped off the ground and kept running down the road no matter what his body was screaming in pain, he would not give up, he would not lose hope.

"I have to talk to her before it's too late, she's so beautiful and kind to me ... why do I have to do this if there was never anything between us? No! I have to take the opportunity before Vincent, damn! I hate that idiot for stealing me!" Gilbert thought grudgingly.

Once he visualized the mansion, he went into a desperate attempt to find a certain blonde girl, his eyes scanned all the corners and walls around him, unexpectedly for Gilbert, Oz and Alice came down the stairs, both looked very confused at the young man.

"Gilbert, what happened to you?" Oz asked concerned to see the deplorable state in which his servant was.

"You very funny seaweed head, how did you end up all dirty and full of mud? when you will leave the same habits as always, but now that I think about it, you have been very absent these last days" Alice was soon teasing.

"I do not have time for stupid things, where is Ada?"

"Is something wrong with Ada, Gil?" Oz asked again now more confused than before and that was easy to deduce because of the strange attitude that his servant had in recent weeks, anxiety could be reflected in his face.

"My appearance is the least my lord... where is Ada?"

"Ada went out with Sharon a few hours ago, they said they wanted to see the new clothing store that opened a short time ago, they'll be back for dinner, why are they so exalted head of seaweed?" This time it was Alice who answered the question.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to say hello, now I'll go to my room, I really need to cleanse my body" Gilbert lied, Oz and Alice exchanged glances for later and accepted that everything was fine.

Gilbert meanwhile, went up to the bathroom to have some cleaning, made sure the door was closed and then took off his clothes to enter the shower, the ice water relentlessly pounded his skin, he lay down and let the water will try to eliminate all your problems and fears.

"Think very well what you do Gilbert, a mistake and the game is over for you, it's now or never ..." Gilbert said to himself as he forgot the inner pain being replaced by the coldness of the water, he was meditating everything for approximately 30 minutes.

Already dressed in his usual clothes, Gilbert heard several murmurs and laughter coming from the first floor, he could never forget that melodious voice, Ada had returned and Gilbert saw the opportunity that was waiting so much, whether something good or not.

The young man was descending the stairs anxious, they knew each other since childhood and Gilbert knew very well how to hide the secrets, unfortunately if he had let go of his feelings before he probably did not have to go through this situation.

"Good afternoon, Gilbert!" right there in the elegant dining room was the most beautiful girl in the world according to Gilbert, now she had grown in recent years to be a woman despite the considerable age difference between them.

"Hi Ada, I was looking for you"

At that moment he saw the image of the most beautiful girl in the universe, with a decided passage approached, with a slight wiggle, a blonde girl, with long, tall, thin hair and beautiful emerald eyes.

"What a coincidence, I also have something to announce after dinner"

"Is it possible that we speak now?"

"You can be calm, Gil, once I says it, we'll have time to talk, I'm sure everyone will like it"

"I understand ... I guess we'll talk later"

His attempt had failed so he had to wait longer, Gilbert went to sit in the chair that was in the dining room while Oz, Ada, Alice and Sharon talked about various topics, his heart was beating fast as he saw the blonde girl and she could not help but blush to see how well endowed she had become, she was definitely not a little girl anymore.

While watching the scene, Gilbert was relieved not to see Vincent anywhere, perhaps it was only the crazy imagination of Elliot that had forced him to say that nonsense, Gilbert regained his confidence that this would go well.

The table was served with a variety of food that according to Alice, meat was the best food in the world.

"Alice, why are you always enthusiastic about meat?" Oz asked.

"It's nutritious and tastes good, the best thing is that I can eat meat daily" Alice could barely speak, she was devouring her food very pleased by the good flavors that danced in her mouth.

"I'm surprised you can eat so much without looking like a fat cow, what do you do to burn off all the calories?" Asked Sharon, who left her cup of tea on the table.

"It's not your business! flat chest!" Alice glared at her for that comment, Sharon did the same, generating a little argument.

"How dare you talk to me like that, stinky rabbit, you're also flat-chested, do not start a battle you can not win"

"Porcelain doll!"

"Unclean rodent!"

"Here we go again" Gilbert thought putting a hand on his face.

"Come on girls! it's not necessary to fight" Oz tried the best way to end this little fight.

"They are still as funny as ever, I am very happy to have friends like you, they make my days happier" Ada laughed at the small fight, everyone present smiled at the sincerity of the girl, she was special and could easily win the affection of anyone.

"Ada, I am very glad that you have fun as before, you have changed and now I can proudly say that you are a woman" said Oz very moved to see how his little sister had grown up.

"And now that we've finished eating it's time to say something, I have something very important that everyone needs to know, it's something I was saving for a special occasion, I know it may sound crazy but they need to know"

All left what they were doing to look at Ada, Gilbert was paralyzed by what would happen next, every second was a knife piercing what little faith he had left, he did not want to continue with the pain in front of that horrible possibility.

"What's up, sister? It's a bad thing because if so, can you tell me and I'll help you?" Oz was the first to ask what Ada smiled confidently.

"It's not that brother, it turns out that last month Vincent invited me to a romantic date, it was pretty nice, he took me to eat my favorite food in the light of the moon, with a band that played my favorite song"

"Then it's true that you've been dating these past few months, congratulations on finding a good man for you, I'm very happy about that" Sharon congratulated her best friend and she nodded.

"And after the elegant date, Vincent invited me to dance, then we danced under the stars, he was so nice and he knelt in front of me to hand me this ..." Ada said opening her hand to show them the beautiful engagement ring.

What? you're going to marry Vincent!"Oz exclaimed relatively excited by the news

"That's right! I immediately told him that I do agree to be his wife, I am so happy because now I can have my own family, I could easily say that I am the happiest woman in the world, that was the best moment of my life"

Oz and Sharon got up from the chairs to hug and congratulate Ada, the blonde girl smiled with happiness at the approval of her brother and later that of her uncle Oscar, Ada was living a very happy life.

"And when will the wedding be?" Sharon asked.

"Next month, I still have to plan several things and I'll stay here until then, Miss Sharon, it would be an honor for me to help me decide what dress I have to wear for the wedding, I want to wear one that Vincent likes"

"Do not worry about that, I can help in everything you need, I'm so moved and think you're old enough to get married"

"Please Miss Sharon, do not cry"

"I'm crying with happiness for you, you really are a great woman"

"Thank you! I love Vincent and I am sure we will have a happy life together, nothing and no one will be able to prevent it because I am already determined to be the future Mrs. Nightray"

"Vincent will have to be a good man for you, Uncle Oscar and I will make sure of that, we will not let anyone take our little Ada" said Oz

"You'll have to do a lot of work, you heard that seaweed head? Ada is going to be your future sister-in-law, get it?" Alice said winking at Gilbert.

"..."

"Huh, what's up with you seaweed head? why are you so quiet?"

Everyone's attention was directed to Gilbert, the young man did not move and only hid his face under his hat.

"Gilbert, do you feel good? you're worrying me please, say something" Ada looked at him wondering what was wrong with Gilbert.

Gilbert felt like a little boy, but he could not hide the disappointment of having lost everything, he hated being so weak, what injustice, what theft, if that was all, a robbery, he had just been robbed of his life and in the worst moment.

"I know, are you thinking of a gift to give to Ada and Vincent right? or are you thinking about being Vincent's wedding godfather? anyway, you know that in the future you can have nephews or maybe you'll have one sooner, what you think?"Alice said mockingly.

"Quit running your mouth! you idiot!"

"What the hell is wrong with you, stupid seaweed head!"

"Shut up... do not keep talking to me or I'll burn it out of you, you worthless scum! I've had enough of this trash!"

The atmosphere was tense, nobody said anything until Gilbert left the dining room walking at a hasty pace, the place was completely silent, Gilbert would never behave in that way unless something bad happened to him.

"I'll go find him" no one had any objection, Ada left the mansion and decided to start looking at a hill where there was a large tree, she thought there would have better visibility, on arrival she noticed that Gilbert was nowhere to be found.

"Tell me, do you need something from me?" A voice asked behind her, but when she turned she did not see anyone, it was not until she looked up and saw her brother's servant looking at her indifferently, she was surprised to find him there in the afternoon and even more surprised by the fact that he had no expression on his face, no mocking smile, no frown, nothing.

"I want to know what all of that was, would it bother you to share your opinion?"She gave a short answer as she looked at him, now he looked towards the horizon, seeing the big mountains feeling the warm breeze of the wind.

"That's a complicated thing" Raven replied as he continued to watch the horizon full of black clouds, Gilbert fell under the tree with a single leap to lie under it, Gilbert was sitting with one leg flexed supporting his left hand and the other leg stretched, his right hand placed behind to support his body He sat with both legs flexed and his arms hugging them.

"They are good views, right?" Ada asked calmly with her eyes lost in the twilight that was there.

"Yes" he replied sharply again and there was a deep silence between them.

"Gilbert ... I know this is hard to believe and I understand your reaction, you are not the only one nervous about this, I am too, my brother and uncle Oscar are also nervous, but I also know that this is the right thing to do"

"Are you really going to marry Vincent?"

"The decision is already made, I will be his wife and I will give everything to him because I love him, Vincent and I will create a beautiful family, no matter what"

"It's amazing all this, I've always been protecting you when you were a little girl and now you're getting married, Ada ... congratulations to you and my brother"

"Thank you Gilbert, I knew perfectly well that you would agree to my marriage with your brother, besides, since you came to my family I always saw you as an older brother to me, you will always be my big brother"

Gilbert did not know when the girl hugged him, he needed her but he did not want her near, he had reminded someone very important, so he endured crying for a long time and would not shed any trace of sadness in his expression.

"And how do you feel, Gilbert?"

"I? ... do not worry about me Ada, now you are the most important here, you have to plan a wedding"

"I would like to know, please"

"I want ... to change so many things or at least forget ... it hurts and I feel so ... defenseless, I feel that I am not worthy for a certain special woman, I also feel that I could not protect and support her when she needed me the most. .. and at the same time I get so angry that she does not tell me things"

"So you also have someone you love?"

"Now I do not know ... I do not know what to believe anymore"

"Do not lose hope that things will improve ... Gilbert ... I will always be there to help you in whatever you need, you can always talk to me"

"Thank you for your kindness ... you'd better go back to the mansion, everyone should be worried about you"

"We come back together?"

"I'm sorry to differ but I would like to stay here longer"

Without more words to say, Ada returned to the mansion, Gilbert waited for the girl to be out of sight, when he made sure no one was around, frowned as he clenched his fists, looked at the tree while he was done a fury.

"Why? why did not I decide to tell her before I loved her? why am I such an idiot? maybe what I feel for Ada is a forbidden love? you've gone far enough, Vincent!"

Gilbert was screaming in agonizing pain as he rapped furiously on the tree with his knuckles, he did not care to be heard, after all he was at a considerable distance from anyone.

"All these years in doubt for what, so that my life would be crush so simple? I was not born to be happy? I do not deserve this! I have more than Vincent could ever have and I still lost!"

The blows did not stop, neither was the unstoppable anger of the young man with gold eyes, his whole life passed before his eyes, he remembered the first day he met Ada and how happy they were at that time.

"If I had not been a coward I would surely be the one to marry her, why do I have to be so obsessed? this is slowly twisting me! heard that speech a thousand times"

The visions continued without mercy, beginning with his memories of childhood, then when Ada left home to study at a good school, the reunion between them, everything.

"I knew all the time that I could fail ... this is out of control! what is the use of living without she! I've lost everything!"

The worst image was reflected in his mind, you could clearly see a wedding where Ada kissed Vincent lovingly, both smiling looking each other in the eyes, everyone else applauded the happy couple, Gilbert had seen many things in his life as death, despair and agony but nothing compared to that.

"Every time Ada said that name she did it with that air of illusion, what a fool I was ... she always loved him and I'm just a brother to her ... there was never a chance of victory for me, I really hate this crap!"

At this point the tree was dyed by that hot crimson liquid, Gilbert's knuckles dripped blood for being so worn, likewise, Gilbert endured the pain well and began to hit the tree with his head using more force than before.

"She will never love me, I can never have a life that is not just sadness and filth ... I can not do anything to correct my mistakes ... it's over!"

Gilbert's face was also bathed in blood as well as his hands, although the condition was favorable, Gilbert never let a tear fall from his cheeks, instead blood fell to the floor simulating the tears he could not shed.

The wind of the sunset blew violently dragging anyone in its path, it stopped being dark brown to change to red caused by Gilbert's blood, the pain was annoying but tolerable, well ... that did not matter much in that instant.

"Why choose reality when you can have a world created by yourself? that's clearly the choice, you know ... I mean, come on, we all prefer the easier life, hehehehe ..."

"Huh?"

The pain was interrupted by that sarcastic voice, Gilbert now had company, someone to talk about problems, the person who least expected was standing there with his arms crossed.

"Xerxes Break ... what have you come to do? you heard everything right?"

"You see, the whole reality is that once you're bored and arguing, and nobody really wants to live in such a world"

"What do you mean, Break?"

"Just because they believe they have to accept it, they choose to take risks and negotiate, there is only one thing that will distinguish it and allow it to succeed in life: it's the magic ticket they call" talent"and if you do not have it, it leaves you rotting, desperate, the game ends, so would not we be better off without this reality?"

"That in a certain way can apply to your reality, then I am, whose reality has just disappeared"

"Haha...you actually have the nerve to say that to me? you're the one who got all cocky, you had your fun? because there's no way a brat like you could control this situation, you're really should just say you're sorry to everyone and go back home like a good little boy, you know?"

"Shut up! shut up! shut up! the hell are you mocking me for? get off me...I can do this! what's wrong with doing things because I can? want me to skewer you from your jaw straight through your skull!"

"Doing it because you can...huh? Y'know...watching you really irritates me, hmmmp...is that right Furious Blade?"

"Oh yeah! now I am the happiest man in the world, I have everything I always wanted, what else could I want?"

"Your apparent sarcasm does not help much, Raven"

"Sarcasm? for what? I have a happy life, good friendships, an excellent family that I love and the best of all a beautiful girlfriend who loves me! thanks for the help!"

"Enough sarcasm for today, it will be better to return to heal your wounds, it seems that at any moment you will fall to the floor like an old tree"

"Tch, I did not need to know"

"Huhhhh? weren't you supposed to be able to do everything on your own? get back up, you don't have time to sleep, right?"

Raven and Break returned to the mansion, obviously Gilbert would not take away his discomfort and his frown, it was all over for Gilbert, the good news was that he did not have to worry about confessing that ruthless guilt.

"Good lord! Gilbert! what happened to your face?" Ada practically stopped doing what she was doing to go where Raven was.

"I fell down a ravine" he lied.

"And I had the fortune to find this good guy, now he needs to be healed properly, could you take care of him for me?" Break said.

"Come on Gilbert! I'll heal those wounds"

And so, Ada guided Gilbert to her room and as it was already night, most residents slept, Gilbert was guided through the huge hallways until they reached the door, and inside, the golden-eyed youth reveled in the pleasant aroma.

The room was entirely pink, a very feminine room, Ada deposit the boy in her big bed and then find a first aid kit in one of the furniture.

"This will hurt a bit, can you resist?"

"I have already suffered many pains in my life, I am used to everything, nothing is able to hurt me"

"Or maybe you're a masochist"

"I see you never change, you have always been kind to everyone"

"Thanks, now don't move"

Ada put alcohol on a piece of cotton to do a good cleaning on the face and hands of Gilbert, the boy gave a slight growl, his eyes went to the neck of the girl, where was a beautiful necklace that belonged to the Nightray family.

"I have not suffered enough? why the world hates me so much? did I do something to deserve this?"

Raven thought to himself, Ada finished her healing work and covered Gilbert's wounds with white bandages, the boy did his best to avoid wishing death but shook himself mentally by suppressing any selfish desire.

Then young man growled and stood up ready to leave, he had nothing to do there, he felt that his heart had died and his body was like a puppet, time would decide what would be his life although he unfortunately did not expect good results.

"Gilbert ... I can ask something?"

He stopped when he heard the voice of the girl who looked at him with that tenderness that characterized her so much, stopped to listen to what the girl had to say.

"You can do it"

"You have been acting out of the ordinary and I would like to know if you can talk to me about a specific topic, you can trust me"

"* Sigh * ... you know ... I never imagined that Vincent and you will get that far, I am very shocked but that's all, I know Vincent can be the man you need, I'm happy for your future marriage,I happy for you, Ada"

"Now I can rest assured knowing that I have your blessing to marry Vincent, I was always in love with him and now I can freely say that I love Vincent Nightray!"

"Even if you had doubts?"

"Yes, I know that couples have problems and solve them, so I made the decision to be Vincent's wife"

"I see, I'm also happy to see how much they love each other ... anyway, it's already late and you have to sleep, I'll go back to my room, good night Ada"

"Sweet dreams Gilbert"

Once out of the room, Raven walked through the corridors to get to his own room, lay down on the bed and took a picture that was stored in his pants pocket, there he could see Ada, Oz and him in that distant time.

The three smiling, in those days everything was happiness, there were problems but most times they were not so serious, the hope was dead and it would never bloom again, his heart was destined to live eternally in the cold winter.

"I make an habit of defying expectations, observe them carefully, the moment they make a mistake will be your opportunity"

A / N enough for today, this story was rewritten to correct the errors of spelling, I like that my works are well written

As for the story, I think I was very unfair to Gilbert, I do not hate him, on the contrary, Raven is my favorite character and I want this to have a solid basis for later chapters.

If you do not like history thank you for allowing me to have some of your time, but if it was to your liking you can be a follower.

The second chapter will be published in December and will only have four chapters.

I'm happy because I could ADD another story to my repertoire
