Scarlett's P.O.V
I was in the middle of training, when suddenly, all my strength was washed out of me. I fell to my knees, holding my head. I felt so weak at that moment.
"Letty! Are you okay?" Knight asks as he rushed over to me. I give him a knowing look. He looks down at me with a concerned face, rubbing tiny circles on my back with his thumb.
While he is lost in thought, I stare up at his face. He is truly beautiful. With his shaggy blue hair, and midnight black eyes. I really want to just kiss him…
"Letty, are you okay? You were staring up at me with a blank look in you eyes." he says.
I shake my head, snapping myself back to reality.
"Yeah… just a little lost in thought," I say, blushing lightly. He looks at me like he doesn't believe me. Its silent for a few moments, then it seems to dawn on him.
"You were staring at me! You think im hot don't you?" he asked, laughing.
I blushed furiously and remained silent. He looked at me with wide eyes.
"You mean… you actually do think im hot? I was just joking," he said, his eyes growing wide. I wanted to read what he was thinking behind those dark endless eyes. He gazed down at me with a small smile on his lips.
"Scarlett, im going to ask you something and you have to answer it truthfully, okay?" he says. I nod my head.
"Scarlett….. Do you…uh.. Like me?" he asked nervously, blushing red.
"No," I say simply.
"Oh, sorry to ask I guess. Shouldn't have ask-" I cut him off. I placed my hand on his cheek and leaned my forehead against his.
"But I do love you," I whisper to him. His eyes grow wide and a beautiful smile breaks across his face. He kisses me sweetly, our eyes never closing.
"I love you too," he says. I sigh happily as he holds me in his arms. I cant wait to tell Mika this. She will be so happy for us…. Even if we don't have forever to be together. Even if I might not grow up to have a family and get married to Knight. I can promise him that in the short time that we have together, we will make enough memories to last a lifetime.
Natsume's P.O.V
"Natsume, I love you so much… you have to live without me." says Mikan as blood drips out of the side of her mouth. Her whole chest is covered with blood. Her bloody hand is on my cheek, trying to comfort me as tears fall down my face.
"NO! Mikan you cant leave me. I need you." I say franticly.
She gives me a soft, sad smile.
"You NEED air. You NEED food. You NEED love. But you WILL survive without me," she whispers to me, as if calmly explaining a simple thing to a child.
"I NEED YOU. YOU WILL SURVIVE." I say.
She gives me a loving smile.
"You want to know something? You were the best thing that ever happened to me." she says.
"Don't talk like that. You are going to survive." I say determined. I try to pick her up, but she winces and cries out in pain. The gash is to deep, moving her around will make it bleed more. Im helpless. I don't know what to do.
"Kiss me," she says. I know she read my mind. I lean down and give her a kiss. Then she grabs my head and forces something into my mouth and to swallow it. She pull back then gives me a sweet kiss.
"I gave you a sleeping pill. You will fall asleep in just a couple seconds. I didn't want you to see me die. I want you to remember me talking, not screaming in pain and hallucinating. I love you, Nat," she says. I fall next to her. Im so tired, but I know that I shouldn't be sleeping.
"I…love you…" I say. Then I fade away, the last thing I hear is an evil laugh and the blood curdling scream of the girl I love.
I wake, startled. My breath is coming fast and my face is drenched in sweat. I fell asleep under the Sakura tree, but something is different from when I fell asleep. Im not sitting up anymore, and under my head is something soft, and warm, not to mention smooth. I look up and I see the sleeping face of Mikan.
'How in the world did she get there?' I ask myself as I stare at her beautiful sleeping face.
When we were back at Gakuen Alice, Mikan would sometimes sneak into my room when she had nightmares. She claimed that I would make all the nightmares go away because I was scary and mean. When she would fall asleep, I would look at her face, like im doing now. When she is awake, she is beautiful, but when she is asleep… the best way to put it is she is adorable.
Her bright hazel eyes are closed, and her long black lashes lay at rest. Her cherry red lips are slightly open and she is breathing softly. Her long hair is over one of her shoulders, moving lightly with the light breeze. One of her hands was in my hair, but now they both rest on her lap. She looks so innocent, just like she used to. You cant see her haunted eyes and emotionless face. This is Mikan in her most vulnerable and rawest form. This is the girl I fell in love with.
Suddenly her eyes flickered open and she groggily looked around. Either she was to tired to notice me, or she was blatantly ignoring my presence. Finally she looked my way and her eyes widened slightly before her fade returned to its usual stone cold expression.
"Good morning," I saw. It was actually sunset, but what was the difference? I certainly didn't care about it.
She got up and dusted off her butt and knees.
"You know how sick of this I am?" I ask.
She stops and turns around. She looks at me right in the eyes.
"For arguments sake, sick of what?" she asks.
"Of the way you treat us. Im so sick of us trying to get your forgiveness and you completely ignoring us. We made a mistake. An awful mistake. But you need to realize how sorry we are. We want things to go back to the way they were. We want Mikan back, because frankly, none of us really like Mika," I said.
"Natsume, there are some things that cant be forgiven. I ignore you all because its in your best interest, no matter if you get that or not. I cant hate you all, but I cant have you in my life. Things cant go back to the way they were, even if I wanted them to. And like I said the day I left, Mikan is dead. She was murdered by cruel words and betrayal. Just… leave the academy and move on." she said as she walked away.
I watched her fading silhouette against the sunset. There was nothing I could say to that. We ruined her.
I walked with a heavy heart to my dorm where all my friends waited for me.
"Hey," I say.
"Do you know how worried we were? We couldn't find you or get a hold of you. No one knew where you were," yelled Sumire.
"So, I was with Mikan," I say.
At the mention of that everyone broke into big smiles.
"How is she?" asked Hotaru.
"Does she forgive us?" asks Koko.
"Are you guys back together?" asks Ruka.
"Can we talk to Mikan-Chan?" asks Anna.
"Is she okay now?" asks Nonoko.
"I think she might be to broken for us to fix." I say, and we all sadly look at each other.
One mistake. One accusation. That was all it took for us to lose what we love. Be careful what you say, because you never know if the next sentence to pass you lips will be the one that keeps you eternally separated for the best thing that has ever happened to you. Think before you talk….
Rei's P.O.V
I wish I could be there for Mikan, because I know that she needs someone there for her right now. I just have to make sure that the seven of them aren't so overworked that they are practically passing out form exhaustion. The principle seems to want to make that so, but his love for the money they get form modeling keeps him at ease. But he is a dangerous and greedy man, and I know that the fact that the AAO has been constantly causing trouble for us will cause him to do something selfish and absolutely sickening.
"Persona, I know how to fix it all. It is all just so simple! Why did I never think of this before! I am a absolute genius! Sometimes my own smarts just put me in a state of amazed shock!" he shouted gleefully.
I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes and plunge a sword through the empty hole in his chest know as his heart.
"Kill. Kill them that will make everything so much better!" he yells happily.
"Kill the AAO? that's what we are trying to do sir," I say. For a principle he is a complete idiot.
"No, not the AAO, the ones they are after. Of course it will solve all of our problems!" he said.
I could feel my stomach twisting up into a knot. He was thinking something evil. I could tell that.
"Who do you want to kill?" I asked hesitantly.
"Why Persona, im ashamed of you for not knowing. The dangerous abilities brats. The models. Mikan, Scarlett, Kai, Kain, Ace, Knight, Jake. All of them!" he says smiling like a maniac. He was a maniac. A sick, twisted, demented, man.
"You cant do that ! They are innocent kids!" I yelled.
"There all monsters. I know that all It takes is a threat and all of them will say yes. They are so wonderfully selfless, that it will be as simple as 1, 2, 3," he says.
"I wont let you!" I yell. He smiles at me knowingly.
"Goodnight Persona," he says. He has a sick, menacing smile on his face. He will do it, and I know that. He doesnt respect life, he just happily ruins it.
He had spiked my drink. I dropped the cup and heard it shatter before I fell onto the ground unconscious.
"Sorry…Mika….."
