Chapter 4: The Lunacy from within
Three days have passed and Add still isn't awake. Eve finally decided it was time to let go of Add and just take him as dead. As she stood up a hand grabber hers and as she turned her head she saw Add. It wasn't the calm and cool Add but it was the crazy one. The white haired male grabbed Eve by the neck and slammed her in a wall. "You know…" Add said. "If you would just give me your f***ing codes then this wouldn't happen." He added. "What do you mean? Didn't you say you love me? If you do then you wouldn't hurt me!" the Nasod defended herself. She was quite new to this thing called love. "Huh?" Add asked as he chuckled maniacally. "Do you ever think that someone would be in love with you? How foolish." He added as he slammed Eve one more time on the wall.
Everyone heard the screams and shouts that came from Add's room. The El Gang gathered outside and kicked the door open. It was like a hostage scene. Add's right arm was wrapped around Eve's neck and with his left hand, Add pointed a dynamo to Eve's core. The core is like a human heart. Without it she wouldn't live.
"If any of you bastards take one step forward, she will get it!" the white haired male shouted as he gripped Eve tighter. "Come on Add, snap out of it!" Elsword shouted. "Shut up you prick!" Add answered back. After a few more pleas, Add got sick of it all. With his dynamo on his left hand, he drew a line on the place where Eve's core is located. Drops of unknown substances that looked acidic dropped on the floor.
A drop or two also flowed towards Add's hand. He looked at it and began to weaken. His grip got lighter and Eve escapes. She runs towards her lab and the El Gang except for Raven followed her.
"I did it! I f***ing did it!" Add shouted as he laughed maniacally and fell down to his knees. "She probably hates me now. She might be cursing me to death!" he continued as tears started to form from his eyes. "Add, come on. Snap out of it!" Raven shouted as he approached Add. "Get away from me!" Add shouted. "There isn't a difference between my calm and lunatic side anymore. I am now just a stupid lunatic who cannot control himself!" he continued as he laughed harder. Raven couldn't believe his eyes. A seemingly innocent man would turn into a full fledge lunatic right before his very eyes.
Add approached Raven and asked him. "Would you please kill me, Mr. Raven!" "What are you talking about? I won't kill you. You have every right to live, Add!" the Blade Master defended. "I am nothing more than burden to you all. Instead of living a life full or inerasable blame, I would rather die!" he continued. "What do you mean by inerasable blame?" Raven asked curiously. "Right now, Eve is in a critical condition and it is all my fault. That acid shouldn't leak out!" he said as he cried and at the same time laughed. He wasn't aware of his emotions anymore. "Look at me then? I killed many people and yet I live for them. I live and bring justice and I live as a sign of repentance!" the Blade Master told Add. "Hahahaha! Easy for you to say!" Add said as his left eye began twitching. "You don't even know who you have killed. You don't know anything! You aren't aware! What about me! I killed Eve, the Nasod Queen. Alongside her, I also killed all her hopes and dreams in rebuilding her kingdom!" Add shouted as his knees started to lose strength. He was flat on the ground with his face facing Raven. "I envy you Raven," he said. "You have killed many people and yet you do not know them. The guilt is lesser that way," he added as he smiled wearily. "No it is not!" Raven answered back. "Fine, have it your way," Add answered. "All I know is that right now all I want in this world is to die," he added as he closed his eyes and began to sleep.
While all of that was happening, Eve was still in her room alone. She is still trying to find a way to stop the leakage. She told the others to go on without her as she needs to spend some time alone while trying to find a solution to her problem. They went to Add's room and started talking with Raven about Add.
"I pity Add," Ara said as she looked at the white haired guy who was lying unconscious on the floor. "What do we do with him? Do we let him stay?" Elsword asked. "Of course we would and we should! And if you need a reason why, then here it is." Raven answered back. "If we let this crazy guy let loose then the whole of Rurensia is in danger!" he exclaimed. The group unanimously agreed on the decision to let Add stay. Raven as always was the one carrying Add. He placed him on his bed and went on to sleep.
Morning came and Add awoke. He was surprised to see that he wasn't tied up to some bed after what happened the day before. He hastily packed his belongings ensuring that no one wakes up to see him. He wrote a note which he left on the table. "Thanks for everything guys. But I think it would be better to leave this place. I don't wasn't to do anything stupid that would harm you guys ever again." He whispered as he walked outside the mansion.
That day, Rena was the first one to wake up. She went and checked on Add. To her surprise the room was empty. It was returned to its original state when Add wasn't there yet. She scurried to the rest of the El Gang to tell the news. "I found something!" Chung exclaimed as he waved a paper in the air.
Weeeeeee I think I made the chapter too brutal. And yay for more cliff hangers. :)
