Chapter 7: The Revenge
I don't know how to react to what I saw. I dropped the ball that supposed to be for Mae, I stopped myself from shrieking and tears just fell down from my cheeks. I dropped on my knee in front of my door; Rafael entered slowly then kneeled down from the body of Mae. Mae has bloods on her arms and knees and on her face, but she's still breathing heavily.
Rafael holds her small body and Mae opened her eyes. "Raf, your back" Mae said. Rafael didn't say anything but he picked up the ball I dropped.
"This is for you" Rafael said. He's voice is weak and vulnerable. He sounds like he's gonna cry. Mae touched the ball from Rafael's hand and she smiled. Then she looked at me. "She picked that for you." Rafael said to Mae. Mae turned to me and smiled and mouthed thank you. When I was just about to touch her and comfort her, she dropped her hands from the ball and she stopped breathing.
More tears fell down from my cheeks and I held in my hands the necklace Mae gave me. Rafael stood up and carried her to the room where his father is lying. He is already dead. He also got blood on his arm and face. Rafael is crying quietly. He laid down Mae's body next to his father.
He knows where exactly where his other brothers and sisters are. He walked down to the kitchen and saw the four lifeless bodies of his brothers and sisters. Rey was near a knife and the twins and Ken behind his body.
I imagined what happened here at the small kitchen, Rey tried to protect his brother and sisters using that knife.
They also have blood on their bodies, but Rey was the worst of them all. He tried hard to protect. I was gonna go outside to have some air and a man with a black robe blocked me. He has a long black hair and pale blue eyes that looks scary. I stepped back, and then he smiled an evil smile. Rafael was on my side the time when he sensed the presence of the man.
The guy raised his two hands and I saw threads coming out from his fingers. It looks so soft and harmless but when Rafael charged towards him, it's like he's controlling the threads, it attacks Rafael but he dodged all of it. Rafael is incredibly fast he was about to punch the guy but he just stopped.
I don't know what happened but I was hanging above the floor and felt threads on my legs and arms. It is slowly tightening and slowly cutting through my skin. This man killed Rafael's family, using his threads. "You move and she dies" The man said coldly. I screamed in pain when he made the threads tighter. "Do you really want her to die?" I go on screaming again, the treads are cutting through my skin which made lines of blood on my arms and legs just like what happened on Rafael's family. Rafael has no other choice but not to move. The guy waved his hands which mean that he commanded the string to do something, I flinched but nothing happened. I saw Rafael surrounded by the tread. Rafael groaned in pain and I saw lines of blood all over his body. "I'm gonna get the priestess of Susaku and made her as a sacrifice for the Western Country God." He said and looked to me.
"Oh, no you won't" A girl stepped in to the scene, kicking the guy at the back which sent the guy on the ground moaning. The girl drew out her sword and set us free of the guy's threads. Rafael punched the guy and kicked and punched again. I can feel his madness through his eyes and the mark on his forehead glowing red like I never seen before.
"You'll pay for what you did to my family" Then he punched the guy with his glowing red fist. After that punch, the guy leapt on a tree and said.
"We'll meet again warrior" Then he just disappears. Rafael yelled loudly and he started to cry.
"I'll find him and I'm gonna kill him." Rafael said to himself loud enough that the girl and I heard.
I was behind a tree when Rafael buried his family. I still held in my hands the necklace Mae gave me just before she died. Because of me, they died. I kept on crying until he finishes burying. He stood up and walked away. I called his name and he faced me.
"I'm sorry" I cried even harder "Because of me they died." I paused then say "I didn't know that the enemies want me, I shouldn't have followed you here." I said. "I'm really sorry."
"Don't cry Mae wouldn't want that if she's here."He said "Together, we're gonna save this country from the enemies." He said then forced a smile on his face and fury and anger flicked through his brown velvet eyes.
