Chapter 10: Rescue

"Help her don't make the same mistake like before… Lovina."

Gilbert ran to the rooftop with Natalia tailing behind and also looking around if any enemies around.

They're already at the last stairs and after they opened the door of the rooftop, they're greeted by the Mafia that have been waiting since the time Lovina contacted them.

They looked suspiciously at Gilbert. "Who are you?" One of them asked.

Gilbert stepped back a little before answering, "I'm a friend of Lovina and she told me to call you to go to the first floor." He sighed, "They need help. Alice have been caught." He continued.

One of the mafia sighed while the others growled. "Leave it to us. Now go." He said but Gilbert and Natalia didn't left.

"What?!" One of them asked.

"We need names…" Natalia said.

They all sighed. "Okay. I am Obizzo Laurenti and this is Amelio Monti." Obizzo said. "We'll end tomorrow if we'll introduce everyone so that's it." Obizzo continued.

Natalia nodded, "Okay but Lovina said that you'll lead us to our room safely. Now we'll wait." She said.

Obizzo sighed but nodded. "Okay, now we'll go before someone will die… again." He said before running downstairs.

Of course being Gilbert, he was seeking for answers about who died and when? But he let it silent for the moment.

...

Lovina and Sakura were now in front of the door they dreaded the whole year. The abandoned Janitor room where Lucia died. Where they witnessed her death.

"Are you ready?" Sakura asked.

Lovina turned to her while gripping the door knob, "Ready as always." She replied and then she opened the door. It revealed the same demon like before… but he have new companions.

Marcello smiled his usual creepy smile. "It's been awhile, Lovina. Isn't it wonderful that we met once again? And oh! Thank me for making you snap and reveal your inner power. Welcome though." He said.

Lovina chuckled, "Well, excuse me. We're already criminals before you came into our lives. That time was just my first mass murder." She said.

Marcello clasped his hands. "Good to know. Congratulations by the way Sakura for having a real weapon." He said mockingly to Sakura.

Sakura clicked her tongue, "I got this katana since I was still 4 years old. This was passed by my ancestors and that needle I used that time was our low class weapon." She said a little non-respecting. Who would respect a demon anyways?

"Before saying things, could you research it first? You're a failure leader." Alice said behind him.

Marcello glared at Alice that made him turn around, "So does you being caught first is foolish." He said and turned to face Lovina and Sakura but they disappeared.

"What the–"

Lovina jump kicked him, "Fuck?" She continued Marcello's unfinished phrase.

Sakura beat up the other guys with her katana. "So, who's the foolish now? Turning your back to your enemies while they're armed." Sakura mocked.

Marcello lost his smile and scowled on the ground. "Shut up, I have more companions outside." He bragged.

Lovina laughed before shoving him more to the ground. "Yeah but not after my mafia killed them. Another mass murder I say?" She smirked.

Sakura laughed, "That's exempted, I think." She said.

Alice pouted, "Untie me already!" She whined.

Lovina elbowed Marcello's head that made him unconscious. "Why we didn't made this the last time?" She asked.

"Because we're still amateur that time." Alice answered.

Sakura lost her smile with the sudden memory of Lucia. They might not be the closest friends in their group but they're still best friends. It still pains her every single day that they failed to save her that very terrible event.

Lovina looked down and tied Marcello tightly and almost let out most of her anger into it. Even though Marcello was unconscious, it was painted on his face that he was terribly hurt.

Lovina was a bit please about it. "Glad to know you're hurting." She said.

"Umm… Help me too please?" A sudden voice said that made the three girls jump.

Alice -who was already free- went to help Alfred from being tied to the wall.

"I'm sorry." Sakura said when she ignored the fact that she saw Alfred tied to the wall just right next to Alice.

Lovina smiled to Sakura, it's rare for her to ignore the facts. "You sometimes act like badass." She teased.

Sakura grinned, "I just spaced out." She said.

Alice turned to Sakura, "I miss this things… especially Lucia…" She said.

Lovina looked away, "If only I think out my actions that time. She should have been still alive these days." She walked out. "Look out Marcello for me. I'll just contact Obizzo if everything turned out alright." She said before going out completely.

Alice sighed, "Why can't she move on?" Alfred asked.

Alice turned to him, "You don't know the whole story yet." She said.

"I actually knew what happened to Lucia Guidi last year. Amelia told me about the last attack here that caused plenty of destruction of the school. So tell me what exactly happened." Alfred demanded.

Sakura glared for the first time, "We have no position to tell you and you have no position to know that. Alice might be in the position to tell you but you're in no position. It's up to Lovina." She said.

Alice looked away and kept her gaze away from both Alfred and Sakura and kept looking at Marcello. She walked towards Marcello, and kicked him endlessly.

"You bloody Demon!" Alice shouted and repeatedly kicked Marcello.

Tears started to fall, "Because of you, we ruined our lives! Because of you Lovina blamed herself every single day! Even though she keep on making lively remarks, she broke every time she was left alone. She cries every time she went to the rooftop and keep on doing those stupid suicides. Because of you…! Because of you… Lucia died!" Alice continued to kick Marcello. Alfred tried to stop Alice but Sakura stopped him first.

Sakura looked at him, "Don't. Don't give mercy on that demon. Let Alice let out all of her anger onto him." She said while stopping Alfred.

Alfred hesitated at first but gave in not long after. He just looked away… he's a hero in heart, whoever it was if they're in pain he wanted to help them.

"I'm going to follow Lovina outside." Alfred said.

Sakura nodded, "Sure. Be careful. Alice still needs you." She smiled.

Alfred blushed but still nodded and smiled.

…

After a few minutes Lovina went in without Alfred.

Sakura looked at Lovina, "Where's Alfred?" She asked.

"In our room. Can't afford any innocent people." Lovina said.

Alice breathe deeply. "I nearly killed him." She said.

Lovina turned to Alice coldly, "It's okay but I'm glad you didn't kill him completely, I still have plans with him." She said.

Alice nodded, "Where's Obizzo and the others?" She asked.

"Some of their members have severe injuries, they took them to their own private hospital…" Lovina said.

Sakura sighed and hugged Lovina tightly. "It's not your fault. We're not in fault that time. It's the dead nurses and doctors' fault. Don't blame yourself too much Lovina. I bet Lucia is happy when she find out that we saved Alice today." She comforted.

Lovina hugged back, "T-Thank you…" She sobbed.

Alice sighed and waited for them to finish comforting each other which took a long time. "Where are we going to place Marcello? I bet that we can't keep him on the lockers, there's so many curious people roaming in here." Alice said.

Lovina smiled, "I know a place and they've got nothing to do these days so we can relax while they watch over him." She said. "And don't worry about the security, they have a hell of high rank security. Don't ask me how cause I don't know either." She said.

Sakura nodded, "Where are they?" She asked.

"Obizzo is on his way."

Alice and Sakura laughed, Lovina can sure brag when it comes to her Mafia family.

…

Alfred sat on his seat which is behind Gilbert.

Alfred poked Gilbert, "Hey!" He called out quietly as possible.

Gilbert turned, "What?" He asked.

Alfred covered the side of his mouth so that only Gilbert can hear it, "I know a secret about Lovina and the rest of the group. So let's meet after this shit." He said.

Gilbert nodded, "Sure." He replied and went back to napping.

Alfred sighed and closed his eyes as he brought his arms behind his head.

"I wish this day was just like any other day…" He whispered to himself before he drifted off.

...

End.
