"Dear little old friend Asya...Do you remember me and Doldam? How about Charlotte and Leon? Lilly and the others?" Her voice said. She has and always will use this on me. Get into my head, knowing I would go towards the source of the voice in my head. So now it brings me to Oz Vesalius's Coming of Age Ceremony. At this dreaded mansion, "I need to see if she is coming here." I said. "I need to know if that psycho Zwei is here." I stated. "I can't stand her but she will always do this and you both know it."
I looked around and noticed it was just about maybe, 7 o'clock, judging by the sun's position. "I understand but Asya-" "No buts Black...I have to..." I cut her off. I began to wonder around, hiding when I hear someone coming near me, and found myself at a staircase to a tower. "Nostalgic..." I muttered as I slowly walked up the stairs, though I stopped when I heard three pairs of footsteps coming from the ground onto the stairs. I began to noiselessly run and hide someone in a tree out of the tower.
As I scouted up I saw the Vessalius boy, a little girl who I assumed was his sister, and my eyes widened at the site of a familiar boy with black hair and golden eyes walking through. "Is it-?" I stopped when the two boys fell through the ground into what seemed to be a covered up under ground thing, I can't quite explain it but it seemed so familiar. The girl peeked into the whole worriedly and called out, "Ni-san! Gil!" I just stayed silent as the boys responded and stayed down their for a few minutes. All of a sudden I heard it...that nostalgic, beautiful, music box sound. The song HE made, the one I couldn't remember. I noticed I couldn't remember of my past but seemed to see things that were apart of it but never heard their names. He was a man I saw once, with black hair, another with long blonde hair in a braid, someone so familiar to Oz Vessalius.
"Black get me back to the fountain." I whispered as I closed my eyes. I felt something cold surround my very being then it disappeared and the feeling went back to the familiar fresh air of the outside world. I opened my eyes and looked around to see the building where the Ceremony would be held and I sprinted towards it. As I got closer, her voice became louder, "Asya-chan...Did you know we missed you so much. What happened to you afterwards? After you disappeared?" I tried to block her out but to no avail.
When I peeked inside I saw no on so I effortlessly leaped into the air and landed on a some concrete horizontal beams, pillars holding them up, that are usually seen holding up gargoyles near the door and hid in the shadows. I stayed their with half lidded eyes as I felt myself being completely drained. After about an hour the place started to fill up with other nobles close to the Vessalius family. I looked to see unfamiliar faces.
"Get ready for the show Asya-chan, you ungrateful little brat."Zwei said.
I watched boredly as the ceremony began. I didn't see the point of this ceremony at all, "It's so stupid..." I muttered under my breath. "Let's make this fun then Asya-Chan." Her voice ended with a sickly sweet little laugh that made cold air crawl up your spine. I shuddered then saw as the clock that hasn't moved for so long began to move and ring. I jumped at the sound and my eyes widened as I couldn't fathom what was happening.
Out of no where Gil had stabbed Oz on his left shoulder, close to his heart, from behind. My eyes widened then narrowed as I saw Doldam's strings. "Damnit Zwei." I said as I was about to go out and attack or at least leave when all of a sudden the feeling of being drained grew much more and got stronger. I looked to see Zwei as she looked straight at me. "Do you like the performance!" She called with her smile that was exactly like mine.
In a matter of seconds I was watching Oz, the brat I almost kidnapped, slash Gil. My eyes widened in horror at the sight, my heart ached as the nostalgia took over and a tear escaped my eye. "I hope your enjoying the view Asya-Chan!" She laughed.
This girl made me realize how much our voices were so much alike except mine was higher and more sadistic, if possible. My eyes widened as I saw Alice appear from the abyss. "What does she think she's doing?" Red asked. "I don't know..." I mumbled. I flinched as I tried to help but then just climbed out of a nearby window and started to run away from the building, in the rain.
"Where are you going?" Black asked. "To the lake...It's time." I said as I slowed into a sprint then stopped running. I found myself by a lake. "The Child of III Omen." I mumbled as I walked to the lake then I removed my hat and looked at my eyes in the water.
The Icy blue would give shivers down others spine but comfort to me as I could also see the red blood crimson color outlining my eyes. I had no pupil as well yet I could see perfectly if not better than any other. "Tch." I put my hat back on then stepped onto the water. "There was only supposed to be three!" I shouted angrily as I stepped to the middle. "I wasn't supposed to be born!" I shouted. "WHY THE HELL AM I ALIVE!" I screamed as I reached the middle of the lake. "ANSWER ME WILL OF THE ABYSS! PLEASE!" I shouted as everything around me started to freeze into ice. The ice was familiar and gave me a sense of comfort and peace. It was as if it has been like home to be.
"Let me help you...Bloody Ice Princess." Said a voice. I turned to see the man from the opera house, Xerxes Break. I looked to see Sharon behind him, "You only help yourself." I said with narrowed eyes. "The Child of III Omen.." I smirked slightly. His eyes didn't falter. I then figured he didn't know what it was and he kept a happy-go-lucky smile, "So you don't know." I said. "That's a shame..." I appeared in front of him floating only a foot off the ground but I leaned into him tilting his chin up to me, "I was really hoping to play around with you and Sharon some more." I said with a devilish smirk that rivaled Zwei's. "I thought you were true to your word?" Sharon said. I looked to her as I floated towards the middle of the lake once more, "I am...This isn't goodbye...This is a 'I'll see you later.' sort of thing." I said as I shrugged her off.
"See you all maybe in ten years or so." I took off my hat with my eyes closed as I bowed then set it back on my head when I came back up to stand straight. "Ready Red King? Black Queen?" I asked. "Hell yeah! I'm tired!" Red said. "Yes I agree...I'm very tired as well." Black said. I grabbed the necklace watch and opened it, Lacie played and then with a slight wave I said, "Goodbye..." A hole to what thought to be an abyss to them was an alternative created by the will of the abyss for me. I reached a hand for the full moon that arose as black chains took hold of me and quickly dragged me down. I could faintly hear, "MATTE!" (A/N it's wait in Japanese) as the vortex closed and so did my eyes.
~?'s POV~
When Asya was dragged down into the White abyss, created by Will so she can come freely to see Asya, and slowly land on her side in front of me. "You such a very troublesome child of III Omen aren't you?" I said as I let my pale snow white skin move her hair from her face. She had shallow breathing that was slow paced and her hands were in front of her face, her left wrist over her right wrist, as if she was sleeping. She was in reality.
This is what she promised the Will and she has always kept it, "Mother, Please make sure she is alright." Alyss said as a large checkered styled door stood only a few feet away opened and with her in the doorway. "Alright." I replied with a smile. She nodded then walked back into her room on the other side of the door and it closed. "Alyss really gets worried for you Asya..." I said as I set her head on my lap but kept her hands in the same position so they were on my lap as well. "Have wonderful dreams of the past Asya." I whispered as I kissed her cheek.
She began to talk in her sleep, "I'm...sorry...don't go..." She mumbled. I looked at her with a saddened look. "Don't leave me alone...no...please..." I stroked her cheek as she began to shake slightly in fear.
She began to cry silently and whimper. "I'm sorry Asya..." I muttered. She began to scream in sadness making Alyss run into the White Abyss and crouch in front of me and Asya. "What's happening?" Alyss asked. If I didn't look up I wouldn't have noticed Cheshire was standing behind her. "Cheshire heard Asya-sama scream...Cheshire wants to know why." He stated.
I looked at them and said, "She's having a bad memory..." my voice was visibly saddened and worry filled.
Alice put her forehead against Asya's slightly and Asya started to become more calm. "Just hold out for a while longer Asya." I said. "Please..." Alyss pleaded.
