Chapter 2 : Game of Life!
"No father! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!". Cagalli yelled and tears flowed down her cheek when she was sleeping. Suddenly, she opened her eyes widely. Her heart was beating and she now is breathless. Tears were still flowing.
The night was so deep and peaceful but it make people feel chill. Who know what will happen tomorrow. Maybe we will die or our life will change. Life is playing with everyone. Bringing people who we can love. Taking away who we always care. Life is so austere. Human is like a doll or pupet in a play. WE are PLAYED then THROWN AWAY. Wanting to escape this stupid life but it's impossible.
"Are you Ok? You look nervous and sad?" A sweet voice spoke. The door was opened and Cagalli saw a girl with long pink hair.
"Lacus" – " Ah, yeah. I'm fine, thanks!" She replied. It's 1 am now.
" Keep it for long isn't good for you! So tell me maybe I can help you?"Lacus persuaded her.
" Alright ! I will tell you so don't look at me with that puppy dog eyes!" Cagalli Lacus smile.
" It's has been a long time when I was taken away from the kingdom. It'was 10 years ago." She started
Flashback :
A council room of Orb kingdom
" Father where did you take her? It's will be dangerous for her if they find out." Little Kira said to his father.
"It will be find. I have given her to one of my best chilhood friend. He is Uzumi Nara Athha. He will take good care of her."
"But they are vampire , father! They have fangs, immortal life and kill everyone who prevent them with no mercy. We should try another way!"
"We have no choice, Kira. We will take her back when we can."
"When? When they give up or when my sister die!" Kira said angrily then left. Ullen Yamato looked at the shade of his son and sighed.
In beautiful house, a blode girl was crying. She feels sad and hurt because her father gave her to a strange man she didn't know. His house very large like hers but it didn't make her feel comfortable. She sighed and wondered how long would she live here. She stared at a picture. A man stand beside a little girl had a blonde hair like hers. That man looked so gentle and warm. Maybe he would be a good father for her. The door was opened, a man came in and spoke
"Hi! I'm Uzumi Nara Athha. Your father told me to look after you. So from now on, I will be your father and you will be Cagalli Yula Athha, my daughter."
"So who is this, the girl in that picture?"Cagalli asked in curiosty
"She is your daughter, why do you say this? And where is she now?"
"She died". Cagalli'eyes widened "I'm very why?"
"She was killed by a vampire. The toxin of vampire'fang destroyed every part of her body. Then she died."
"So your daughter died and you want me to take her place? How cruel it is !" Cagalli said and she couldn't hold her tears heart was broken.
"I want you to be my daughter not beceause of my late daughter or your father. It's because I love you as my daughter.I want to care and protect you , that's all." Cagalli was surprised after hearing what he had just said .Then he continued " Do you agree that I will be your father, dear DAUGHTER?"He hugged his little Cagalli and smile.
"Yes, of course, FATHER!" She replied and hugged him back. Maybe this wasn't bad.
And now she did't feel lonely anymore. She felt happy. Because she had a fosterfather will always cares and protects her beside her real father. Everything will bright in her heart.
Day by day, Uzumi and Cagalli live in happiness. And she wrote many letters for her family. Tis life was interesting. However, everything is normal but at her eighteenth birthday, her life changed. Many people were killed . Make sure that vampires stood behind this. They tried to find her anywhere, killed more people to satisfy their thirst. After buying some flowers, Cagalli came back home. She called her father many time but nothing replied her. This silence was so scared. She run, run and run. Runing as fast as she could and tried to find her fosterfather. The cherry blossom petals still fluttered but it's weid. Every petals were covered by blood. A bloody scene. Blood dyed everything, dead body was everywhere. Under a cherry blossom tree, she saw a dead man. That was her father? Tears was flowing from her eyes, driping to his body. She hugged him, his body was very cold. He died. Her dear father was killed by vampires . She felt painful because she had lost one of people she loved most. Rain was dropping, everything kept going their work but the dead could't resurrect. How irony!
"You can't died like this! Don't leave me! You promised that you would stay with me and we will live a happy life! How could this happen?"She cried loudly.
She buried him. "I will never forgive them for this. They have to pay what they have done!" Blood flowed from her eyes and dropped.
Then she cameback the palace where Kira live and had a plan for the revenge
End of Flashback
"So that why you have a big feud on them and don't agree with Kira's plan!"Lacus said in sadness
"Yes!I hate all vampires. They killed my father then want my blood!How can they do that!"
"You 're strong but still a little girl. Take your fosterfather surname and revenge by yourself? That's impossible!"
"I know but I have to try. That's only thing I can do for him as a daughter and a princess! Sacrificing for them!"Cagalli said. It's seem Lacus has to try hard to persuade Cagalli.
"Cagalli, stop that plan ,please. Kira can bear if you die! Maybe I should disturb you until you stop that stupid plan!" Then Lacus begged "Please, Please, Please! Don't do this !" And she cried loudly.
"Alright,stop crying! You will wake all people in this palace! Fine, I will put it away, ok!"
"That 's my good girl! Now go back to sleep! Tomorrow will have many thing to do!" Lacus chuckle. Then she walked towards the door.
"By the way, Thank you! About that story! I feel better now!"Cagalli said and smiled.
"My pleasure, your Highness!" After that, she closed the door.
"And sorry, Lacus, Kira!" She whispered. Then closed her eyes waited for tomorrow don't come.
The Night Princess of Orb go to Eternal kingdom.
"It 've been already now. We should start. The Eternal's paople are waiting for us, My King !" A guard said.
"Right we should go now!" Kira replied.
In Cagalli's room
"It's time!" She told to herself.
In Meer's room
"Lady Meer, let's start" A maid told her.
"Ok !"Meer replied
Meer left her room and went straight. A man with a blonde hair wearing a guard uniform are waiting for her. She was fear a little but she loves her Princess very much. I have to be brave. Meer thought.
"You work very well. Now It's mine. You can have a rest!"The blonde hair guy said to the maid.
"You are Lady Meer right!"He continued.
"Yes!"Meer smiled weakly.
"Follow me, please!"
Then they walk .Meer followed him. The man took Meer to a basement. At first, Meer didn't see anything strange. But progressively weird, she realized this wasn't the right way to the Eternal kingdom. It seem very strange. Who's this guy. And where will he take me. Meer thought.
"Hey, maybe you get wrong way to the Eternal doesn't look like the king's guard. Who are you, tell me!" Meer said
"I am really the king's guard. And this is another way to Eternal kingdom."
"No, it isn't right. The maid told me the way. It has only a way and this isn't."
When he turned back and faced her. Meer realized something.
"Wait a second .Maybe I have seen you before. You look like the Princess when I went to the palace to see the king. She has beautiful golden hair, a seductive amber eyes and every thing just like you. Don't tell me that You're …her …..Princess Cagalli !"Meer surprised.
"No, I am not her!"That man sweated.
"I know you was is the only one has that amber eyes. So don't try to refuse it. Every people in this kingdom know very well about the Princess."
"I'm busted!"He sighed. "Now hurry before someone found us!"Cagalli continued.
"Where do you take me to? They will angry because Princess of Orb doesn't come! Please, take me back!" Meer begged.
"No.I will not let those disgusting vampires touch you!"
"Stand right there. Don't move. Who are you?" A voice suddenly spoke.
"Damm it. Someone found us. We have gonna hurry."Then Cagalli gripped Meer's hand and started to run .
"This is the way to go out of the palace. Hurry!" Cagalli told her.
"How about you? Will they hurt you? Please, come back, they will find out, Princess!"
"It will be fine. I can take it. Now, go and don't come back.!"She turned back, towards the guard.
Meer stepped and run. How this plan changed like this? Meer got out of the basement. The moon was so red, so not for her. Her Princess are in sacrificed for her. Meer wishes she would do something to prevent it.
In Cagalli's place .
"This soldiers're too weak. Maybe I should retrain them. I hope Meer escaped safely. I should verify that she has no danger."
"Well, well, have we got here. A little kitten has lost. Will we handle this man?" A man with dark blonde hair said. Beside him is a silver one.
"Vampires" Cagalli turned back.
"No, we can't Dearka. Instead of that why don't we knock him off." The silver man said.
"You know it's in the same Yzak. Just bite him"
"You bastard!"Cagalli growled.
"Don't you dare to touch him! I will not allow you!" A familiar voice spoke.
"Meer!"Cagalli whispered.
"You moron! I told you got out of here! Why did you come back? Stupid!" Cagalli said and she couldn't hire her angry with her.
"How could you talk to the Princess like that? You should be died!" Yzak said and tried to slap her.
"Don't touch him! Let him go. He's just an innocent man!" Meer told to the two vampires.
"Sorry Princess! But this man has insulted you – Future bride of our king ( maybe I think so : )). He has to be punished!" Then he hit Cagalli . She was fainting.
"I said Let him go!"Meer was angry.
"Sorry My Lady! If we let go of him, our head will be cut down! So Our king will punish him! "
The sky was beautiful. It was dyed in darkness and red color. Everything like a story. A story was told 1000 years ago. A Princess had fell in love with a man . They lived happily together. But one day, she knew he betrayed her. She resented him. Her heart fell for darkness. She couldn't bear what he did for her. Took a knife in hand she killed him. But at the end, he still said that he loved her and it will never change. Tear was full her eyes, she had just killed her lover. Her heart felt painful not happy. Kill someone else isn't a good way for the revenge. A heart stores much hatred will make you hurt, tormented you until you die.
In Council room of Orb
"How about everything ? Did it go well?" Kira asked a maid nervously.
"Miss Meer has followed them. They have just gone to the Eternal kingdom but a man with golden hair was captured. It's our people!"The maid replied.
"WHAT!How could that happen?"
"I guess that man try to save Lady Meer!"
"Cagalli!"Kira whisper. "Guard, go and find the Princess!"
After a search, the guard spoke "My King, she is not in her room!"
"Kira, what will happen if they know her!" Lacus sweated.
"It's will be fine, will be Ok. They can do anything to her!"
In the Eternal kingdom
"AH…What the fuck! Why I am here! Stupid rope! They tied it too tight. Fuck you vampires!" A Blonde yelled.
"Finally, you awake! I think you will sleep forever!" A silver man said.
"You vampire! What the hell am I doing here?"
"Ah, You will be punished by our king because you insulted his future bride. After he tastes the Princess's blood!"
"What! Princess! MEER! What happen after your king taste her blood ?" Cagalli was paled.
"After that, if he escape his weak body, he will marry her. If it does not work, she will die!" Yzak replied.
Her eyes narrowed "Where is the Princess now?"
"She is in the Galerie des Glacesof the castle, with the king!"
That mean she is in danger. I have to find her and save her. First, I should get out this two vampires. Cagalli thought. Fortunately, she took a knife with her in case bad things happen. She cut the rope then run towards the exit and got out of there.
"Hey you! Stop right there!"The two vampires yelled.
In the Galerie des Glacesof the castle
It's a beautiful and modern room. The room is decorated many cristal lamps rug and gilded wood flooring wall. And there, A King was sitting on the throne. His eyes is red like blood and it look hungry. Then he smirks and licks his lips. It seem like his prey is coming.
"Well, come in" The vampire king ordered.
The big door opened. A maiden with a long pink hair get in. She is wearing a long white beautiful gown. And she looks so magnificent. The king stands up and walks towards her. He takes her right hand, kisses on her palm.
"Nice to meet you, Princess Cagalli Yula Athha or Cagalli Yamato. I'm Athrun Zala – The king of Eternal kindom!"He introduced.
"Nice to meet you, too My King!"Meer replied. She couldn't hide her fear before him.
Athrun looks into her eyes and charms her. Meer slowly, slowly locked in his eyes. It's make easy for him to approach her. His fang touches her neck. Gradually, they deep on her neck make her moans. Her blood is flowing, dyes apart of her gown. Her blood is good but it isn't the Princess's blood. His fang get out of her neck then he smirks. Her eyes still stare at him. "It seem you haven't died yet!"
. I need to faster if I want to save her. Cagalli thought. She runs as fast as she could. She stops at the entrance of a room called Galerie des Glaces. She saw a man holding her in his hand. Her eyes still opens and blinks. That's good. She still alive. I am not too late.But suddenly, Cagalli eyes shrink. Her skin is pale and she is sweating. She saw a sword has just punctured through Meer's heart. Blood is flowing. Meer's eyes slowly, slowly closes. Cagalli feels hurt because she couldn't save her, she has died before Cagalli'eyes. Hatred. Chaotic moods. Boiling blood. She wants to kill this guy. She steps weakly towards Meer's body who lies on the ground. She holds her body tightly, hugs her. Tears are dropping.
"Why could this happen? Hey, wake up, wake up! You can't die like this. My father had gone now you. Please, wake up!" Cagalli shakes Meer's body, see nothing. She died. The cruel truth. She has gone, to the other world. Then she looks to the vampire who is smirking. "Why did you kill her? She still alive after your bite . So why did you kill her?" Cagalli yelled madly. "You .Ignoble. Dirty. And arrogant! How could kill someone with no mercy?" She spats.
"Right. I'm Ignoble. Dirty. And arrogant like that. But human like you no less ignoble! Choose another girl to replace the Princess. Human is dirty like me!" He responsed.
"How could you know She wasn't the Princess?"
"Easily! Her blood is good. But it's just like another girls. Her blood is unqualified! The true Princess's blood is very precious, luscious and completely attractive for vampires!" He said as he licked his lips seductively.
" Stupid Kira! I knew his plan will not success!"She whisper.
"So who are you anyway? You're so close and protective for her. May be you are her lover!" Athrun crossed his arms on his chest. "I wonder how sweet of her boyfriend's blood is!" He grinned then stroked her cheek sexily.
He is going to charm her like he did to Meer. Because everyman or women will be charmed easily when he looks into their eyes and smiles. No one can escapes vampires's charm. Strangely, I charm him a lot yet he doesn't reply. How this can be possible? But interesting. He thought.
"No, I'm not her lover. I'm just her bodyguard. So get your hand off me. You're sick vampire!" Then she slap his hand out of her cheek. I must get out of here.She speculates thoughtfully. But she doesn't know some one is reading her mind and smiles. "You're grotesque. If I were you, I wouldn't do anything and stay here."He whisper beside her ear seductively.What! He can read my mind, can't he? Cagalli surprised. "Oh! Of course. I can read your mind. It's my talent!" He said when his palm still stokes her cheek and another palm holding her waist.
"Do you have a autism? Let me go! I get enough of you!"She threats. She puts her knife to his neck. He chuckles. I can't let him read my mind! Or my plan will be exposed! If he stares at my eyes to read my mind, maybe I should glare back on his eyes. Who know it can be counterproductive. She stares at his eyes, unexpectedly, it work. He can't read her mind anymore. How cute! He thought.
"At first, you broke my charm. Now, I can't read your mind. You're so interested! I was admired by you!" Then he puts his face close to her but she still keeps her knife on his neck. "Let go of me or I will kill you!"She threated.
"Kill me?Hah! You are so funny!Very interesting!" He grinned. His eyes filled by red color. He will not make concessions for her anymore. Then he knocks her out, makes her lie on the floor. She surprised " WHAT! I thought your body is weak, how could you do that!"." Yes, my body is weak but I still a vampire. I can't lose my pride on a human like you!" he smirk then he bows his head down and licks the taste of her skin. Man, this guy's skin like girl's. Sort. Sensitive. Very seductive. I want more. He thought. His fangs touch her neck. She screamed loudly. "You're weirdo! I haven't bitten you yet!"
He smiled then suddenly, he pressed his lips on hers. Kiss her passionately, hugged her tightly never want to let her go. Man, I am a real gay, aren't I. Have I drunk. I am kissing him. OMG. But I don't care. His lips. They're so sweet and sexy. Athrun thought. What is he doing? He has stolen my first kiss. But his lips're very sort and seductive. Cagalli's mind was yelling but she closed her eyes and kissed him. Then she pushed him away. "What was that for? Are you really a gay! I'm a man, dude!" Cagalli lied. " I just wanted to play with you! You're very interested! You know you kissed me!"He said – She blushed. He is cute when he blushes like that. I don't care about his gender. I just want him to stay with me. Athrun desired.
" Would you think about staying here with me? Everything gonna be alright!" Athrun suggested.
"No, thank you!" She stand up for leaving him but he grappled her wrist. " You can't go anywhere! This is my kingdom I will not allow you to leave me behind. Beside, you don't know the way to get out of here. So obey me, stay here!" He held her wrist tighter. " Be my doll, I will take good care of you!" He continued.
"Hah! Ridiculous! Anyway, how many doll have you had?" Cagalli asked.
" Only one! It's you!... you agree that you will stay here right?"
" Maybe!"She smirked. She know that stay here just temporarily and she will find the way to get out, not for long.
"Good. Shiho-san, please prepare for him a room and direct him the way!"Athrun ordered.
"Yes, My King!" A beautiful long brown hair woman directed Cagalli the way. But before leaving she whispered " I must get out of this weird place!"
"Athrun ni-san! What do we do now, about the Princess of Orb kingdom? Should we go to look for her?" A lovely girl with a blonde hair and beautiful ruby eyes stepped in.
"No! We don't have to Stella! I just have a new toy. A interesting doll, need to play first!" He smirk and his eyes dyed by bloody color as his tongue licked his lips.
