Unknown Location, Daylight
"What are the prognosis?" Piers asked in concern
Chris shook his head, "None…Doctors said she's not getting any better… I'm sorry man." He placed his hand on his friend's shoulder in support
"Would you give up that easy if it was Evana or even Claire?" Piers frowned in annoyance. He didn't like Chris' realization that there was nothing else to do
"No, I wouldn't! But keeping someone like that is not an act of love either, it's selfishness! Isn't enough what she been through after been raped, poisoned and stabbed at once?"
"She's fighting, I know that!"
"Or maybe she's just waiting the people to let her go… you know how much she hated been a trouble to anyone."
Piers shook his head in denial, "No! She's waiting… she's waiting for me and I'm going to save her."
Chris crossed his arms, "And how do you intend to do that?"
Piers looked down briefly biting his lips and looked up straight to his old friend's eyes, "By giving her my blood."
Chris frowned puzzled uncrossing his arms, "Your blood?"
"Yeah, but I'll need your help."
"I don't know how to use a syringe for that."
Piers gasped, "But you won't have to use a syringe, besides it's not my current blood. We still don't know how the effects could affect her."
Chris made a face waiting for a good explanation
Piers took a pause and inhaled deeply, "The blood sample stored In the BSAA's sample's storage lab"
"What?!" Chris yelled in shock, "You want to turn her into a B.O.W.!"
"Of course not Chris! The manipulated sample that keeps the regenerative properties of the C-Virus, that's the only thing that will save her!"
Chris gasped, "Are you out of your mind?!"
"Do you see any B.O.W. here? Of course you don't! That's what I'm asking you because I'm just trying to save the woman I love. If that doesn't work, so I'll have the peace of conscience that I tried to do everything for her."
Chris sighed frowning biting his lips, "You know that part of the BSAA is not my area."
Piers rolled his eyes, "Who in the BSAA will say no to you, Chris?"
"You know things have changed a bit…"
"Yeah, I know! But I also know that taking samples won't be hard for you because you and I know what you have done after New York, right?"
"You're blackmailing me? You know I wasn't put in that by my self-will!"
"No, I'm too far from that, but if you don't want to do it, it's okay, I'll do it myself." Piers replied passing by his longtime friend
Chris held him by the arm, "Where the fuck do you think are you going?"
"I'm going to save my fiancée and mother of my son!" he spoke with a determined expression
Chris passed by him touching the old second in command to stay, "You're not going anywhere! Don't need another friend in the dirt here." He headed to the door leaving Piers alone and behind in the room
Interrogation Room, Unknown Place
Gianni was seating on the chair facing the dark haired woman sitting across from him, separated by a desk.
"The other man cleaned himself and was completely shaved from head to toe with exception of the eyebrows. He didn't let prints anywhere, but that was obvious since he was wearing a special glove. However the DNA in the condom proved you didn't rape the victim, Yana Chorvat."
"Told you so!" the blond man spoke with an obvious tone
"It doesn't mean you're not the Neat Freak" she replied coldly
Gianni rolled his eyes with a sigh, "You guys must be really blind or stupid! You have the Neat Freak's body!"
"You could be an accomplice since you seem to know so much about him and it wasn't the first time you two were together in the same place"
"That was premeditated by Vlad. I fell on his trap, but at least I saved your boyfriend and tried to save my friend…" he replied not hiding his sadness about the ginger's fate
Agent Portman let out a long composed sigh as Leon S. Kennedy entered the room holding some files.
"Who are you working for?" the American Government agent asked with a serious face the blond man under their power
Gianni stared them in silence
"Your fate is in my hands now. Espionage Act is a big violation. You can get for life to death penalty… unless you start talking" Leon smirked
"If you had proof I'm a spy, you would know for whom I'd be working for. You're just bluffing to test me. Look at this place! It's not even official."
"But you have the distinct scent of a spy…"
"And we are Governments' people with enough power to make your life miserable" the dark haired woman spoke calmly – a deadly calmness that contrasted with her stunning beauty
"Corrupted Governments by the way. I'm not scared" Gianni shrugged with a mock
Leon sighed heavily, "Look… Gianni… we don't really need to discuss politics here. Actually, we can help each other. You can help us with the information we need and in counterpart, we can save your ass. So, don't be a stupid blond!"
Gianni rested his back on the chair after a sigh, "What do you want to know?"
"Everything about the Neat Freak" the woman replied
"It's a long story"
"We have all the time!" Leon replied sitting on the border of the table
Gianni sighed after a shrug
Yana's POV
I know I'm in a hospital, but all I can see is a movie in that screen on the wall. That's so weird! But I know so well that movie star…
The stage, the desire in their eyes, the power in my control. I felt powerful seeing those men holding their dicks in their hands waiting anxiously to spend on me with little I did. A leg here, the butt there, the spins, rolling on the ground and the theatrical naughty face. The more I made them wait, the more they were about to kill each other or to die in excitement.
Bohma, June 2013
I really enjoyed the fun of lust until the night I saw a non-familiar face looking at me, hypnotized, but not starving like the others, so I danced for him. I focused my power on him. I gave my all of stage for him.
"Will you join me for a drink?"
He smiled and then made a seductive face, "Sure, but can we go private later?"
American accent? Okay… what a coincidence… But yeah, of course we can and shall go private hottie! I saw you in the crowd and that's why I'm here! I was dancing for you! I saw you were hypnotized and I wouldn't miss the opportunity to get a handsome foreigner, "Absolutely! Do you want to drink here or in the bedroom?" seeing you closer, I definitely want to go on an adventure with you!
(*)
"I don't have anyone waiting for me home"
"That's hard to believe!" I replied with sarcasm, I just couldn't help it.
"Why?"
"Handsome men always have someone waiting for them… somehow…"
"Not for military like me… it's hard keeping someone, relationships…"
Military? Hum, what another coincidence!
"Well, men like you are not for any woman" I shrugged
I just didn't know I'd become the enchanted forever after that. The spell returned to the magician.
He was the one with the power… the power to encage a bird like me. No, never felt like being encaged. He became my garden and my favorite flower to consume the nectar. He became my world. My undreamed dream. My life…

Daylight during those sensational two weeks!
"Where are we going today?" he asked as he finished dressing himself after sleeping with me in my old rented room in that yellow house
"To an old castle, the only in town!" I replied zipping my skirt
"Is there a castle here?"
"Yeah, there is. It's abandoned, some say it's haunted, but I don't believe that!"
"Oh and you want to take me to a haunted place?"
"Arent you a brave men? You fight those creatures that are almost the same" I joked
"There's a huge difference between fighting B. and facing a ghost!"
I couldn't help but laugh at his face, did he really believe in ghosts? I wondered… "There's an incredible view of the whole town!"
"So you have been there?"
"Yes! Adventurers always visit that place… as a matter of fact it's pretty much well conserved considering it's abandoned! You will like it… if you're not a chicken…"
"I'm not a chicken! But isn't it illegal to get in in such places without permission?"
"We have my permission!" I replied planting a kiss on his thick lips that I so much like to feel.
He giggled, "You're crazy!"
"I'm a crazy sane" I joked in reply, "So, shall we get going? Luckily there won't have anyone else there… or anything."
(*)
We entered the conserved part of the ruins of the old castle that led to one of the towers that had its view to the whole Bohma. Nobody really cared about that place, at least, no one from town. There was no security and the city was a calm place, so people kept respect for the ruins even though very few dared to enter it. Most of time only visitors had the courage. Funny thing that usually outsiders give more value to some place than the own habitants.
There was no ghostly appearance or security. The place only belonged to the two of us. It had been a long time since the last time I visited the castle. I had nearly forgotten its terrific view. It was a cool morning. The breeze felt amazing on our skins. We kissed and took some pictures of the landscape. Selfies. Our first picture together.
I sat at the parapet facing him and opened my legs so he could position in the middle while we kissed more feverously. I trusted him. He wouldn't let me fall. I just couldn't help the fire that ignited in me every time we stayed alone. We were at the top of the world – literally.
We kissed wetly. I grabbed his bulge.
"What are you doing?" he stopped the kiss taken aback
I smiled, "I never did IT here…" I licked my lips seductively
He was funnily paralyzed. Surely, he understood my suggestion and his brain was clearly thinking about the possibility of making it happen. I waited him to finally have his circuits working back. That time he was so composed of his emotions. The military style.
"Someone might see us here." He spoke nearly whispering
"Nobody pays really cares."
"Someone can enter"
"We don't need to stay fully naked." I put my tiny panties to the side loudly inviting him in
He giggled, "You're crazy!"
"And you like it!" I jumped down on the floor and grabbed him by his waist pulling him close to me as I kissed those lips passionately until we lost our breathes.
It's cold outside
Why don't you come in
I know, my walls are crumbling
It's late at night
And lately I've been alone
But that could be changing
What you do to me
Conjures up feelings
I've never felt before
And your company I adore
So deliciously
Gold and burgundy
Sink into me I feel so warm
I feel you
I taste you the smoothest wine
Like velvet
Can't help it
This love's divine
The moon is full
The stars are aligned
I know, just look into my eyes
It's beautiful,
Your skin against mine
I hope, you let your mind take flight
Under velvet skies
Lover we can fly away from the world
Let all of our love unfurl
What a gorgeous ride
You don't have to hide
A thing from me, I am your girl
I taste you the smoothest wine
Like velvet
Can't help it
This love's divine (Velvet – Fergie)
No, the condom didn't break. I know I had said that… but I just didn't want to admit to myself I had screwed myself up – stupid pride. I was only lying to myself because the condom didn't break. Actually, there was no condom.
He made my deepest wishes to come true, but also my greatest fear. That was the day he planted his seed inside of me. I let it happen, but I didn't plan it.
That was the first time we felt each other completely – his warmth inside. The first time I made love.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for your father" wait a minute, I replied thinking it was Kyan, but who I see is a little ginger girl, "Who are you?"
"Sorry the long mom. I just got here. I'll stay with you while we wait for dad…"
Mom? What the fuck 'mom'? I only have one child and is a boy! The little girl's voice even laughs at my face! Something is wrong here. Very wrong here!
"I'm going to protect you from anything, any harm..."
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday
Hospital, Daylight
Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Will you fly me away?
I believe we'll meet again.
I will eternally sing, Scarlet Love Song.
Piers' POV
I hate hospitals and you know that… But it doesn't matter right now. I shouldn't be here either, but it doesn't matter either right now. I'd be in hell if I had to – just to be with you.
Your hands are cold – so opposite to your warm touch. Your skin so pale. The tube in your nose. You're silent – I don't recognize it. So used to your vibrant personality, loudly at times when you cursed something, or someone. When you sang while cleaning the house pretending to hold a mike, or when you gave your show in the shower. Such beautiful voice.
Not my Pepper…
Ah, someday I'll become the wind and fly away.
I will go wherever you are.
Even when the eternal flow of time fades,
My memories of you will shine like a miracle.
Do you remember when we met in Burlesque? That video doesn't stop rolling in my head – 5 years and four months ago our lives were changed. My persona was changed.
Who would say that going out for a casual night out would turn me upside down. I never would imagine that enchanter ginger dancing and spinning on the pole on that stage would be the mother of my son. The woman I most loved.
That time I thought I loved someone else. I didn't know what love did really mean.
I couldn't stop it. I couldn't stop me. I lived it all. I followed you everywhere you wanted me to go. No real objection.
I did things I never thought I would – I could.
I followed the wind. I flew in the wind of the gypsy ginger. I let her guide me for two weeks. I didn't know what I was doing. I just let it be. I just needed to know her name.
"Yana. Yana Chorvat" she spoke so proud. She loved being who she was. She knew who she was back then…
She was pure – a pure mess – but she was pure.
Will you fly me away?
Now closing my eyes,
I see you in my heart.
There was not a single day she didn't make me laugh, made me fly high. Me, a sniper, who was used to be at the heights. Under control.
That ginger made me lose control. I didn't really know what I was doing. All I knew was that I loved doing those things, following her lead, the second in command – a position I was so comfortable.
I loved watching her improvise a new daily agenda as she introduced me to the town – her town. She loved live in that town! She loved that place. There was passion in her eyes told me her life stories in that place. The town didn't love her – the people, but she didn't give a fuck to that. Giggles. She was a mouthful and cursing was part of her so unique personality.
With blue roses scattered on your wings,
There comes a time when everyone must fly away.
Until the moment my body turns to ash,
I'll be falling.
If I wasn't so obsessed with my work… with America. Sigh… I could understand why stayed in that "magical" town. There was definitely a different vibe there.
I was enchanted by the gypsy ginger wind – Pepper wind. I did things I had never done before, such as sex in public.
Do you remember that? Our first sex in public in that old castle?
That day was so special! Special in every sense! The first you made love. My first time in public. The first time I exploded our passion and we became one… one plus two makes there that equals Kyan. We made love that day and we also made Kyan… We just didn't know that.
But now when I see the whole movie, I can so classify things clearly.
Maybe we manage to classify things too late and we wasted such precious time.
The time we don't have anymore…
Even the tears overflowing again,
I believe
They'll give life to the withered flowers.
Even when the eternal flow of time fades,
Drops of love will shine like a miracle.
And I took all that from her – from you. Now I know I'm not a good guider or leader. I cut your wings… I encaged the flying bird. I dissipated the wind.
And you still loved me until the very end! You gave your all! You gave more than you could! You devoted yourself to a follower!
Was I really that good in keeping appearances? Not everything that shines is gold.
It's all my fault!
And my last resource is to give you my own blood. My last hope, my only hope.
That's all I have to give you… besides giving you your wings back.
I can still feel you're fighting and has always been waiting for me.
I heard you tend to have terrible crisis when left alone. You have been resuscitated several times and I hate seeing you suffering like this. You always had a good and strong heart. You always welcomed me with all the happiness and your cheerful glitter and you were there when I most needed!
So it's my time to do the same for you. Fuck the protocol; fuck the rules. You're the priority here!
They say you maybe can still listen to everyone is telling you and now is my time. So before you decide what is best for you I need to tell you:
Thank you for stepping into my life and messing it up a little bit, but your mess was the best thing that ever happened to me! how I wish I could've had done it so differently. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time figuring myself out. I should've had kicked Nico's ass and flied away with you and Kyan to wherever you wanted to go.
You gave me the best moments, the best memories. You gave me some glitter. Giggles. The best laughers. You gave me shelter. You gave me support. You gave me – us – your life! You are the best.
You taught me so much! You taught me how to love you and how to love so differently! Thank you for giving me Kyan and I promise you I will take care of him with all I have and more! No one will touch him!
They took you from me, but they gave me "super powers" back and I will make the best use of it to protect our child, our love seed.
I'm very sorry for all the crap I put you in. I never meant to screw up your life, your routine, your magical world.
I always trusted you and supported you in whatever you wanted, so I'll continue doing it. I trust your judgment and I'll follow whatever you decide for yourself.
Just never forget I Love You and I will continue loving you whenever you are. Kyan loves you too.
But I'm here to set you free from all the crap, I'm here for love – true love. Transcendental love. My true love.
So please… Just do whatever is the best for you, Pepper, Yana Chorvat!
Will you fly me away?
I believe we'll meet again.
Now closing my eyes,
I see you in my heart... Scarlet Love Song.
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello
TPOV
He kissed her cold and dry lips for the last time, as the machines' indicator remained continuous its signal while the doctors entered the room in a hurry.
He saw the despair of Yana's soul sister as she realized a part of her soul had left her.
The blonde woman was inconsolable and mad. She didn't want her husband's consolation. She was untouchable. Unreachable.
The times when we would play about
The way we used to scream and shout
We never dreamed you'd go your own sweet way
Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain, love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby
Goodbye my friend
I know you're gone, you said you're gone
But I can still feel you here
It's not the end
Gotta keep it strong
Before the pain turns into fear
So glad we made it
Time will never never ever change it
No no no no
You know it's time to say goodbye
No no no no
And don't forget you can rely
No no no no
You know it's time to say goodbye
And don't forget on me, you can rely (no no no no)
I will help, help you on your way
I will be with you everyday
No no no no
I will be with you everyday (Goodbye – Spice Girls)
Piers, dressed in disguise to not be recognized, left the room heartbroken and witnessed everything in a strangely silent slow motion. He was numb. He could interpret Chris was trying to make her think of her pregnant condition, but her soul pain was too much.
Distantly he could hear her voice screaming for her sister until the moment her shouting voice broke all the seemly glass that obfuscated the sound.
"You killed her!"
Her voice and her sharp enraged gaze stabbed his soul. He didn't protest. A part of him believed that. however, she had told that to both him and Chris. The Americans that entered their lives and introduced them to a world of nightmares.
Both men knew Evana was just hurt. They didn't take it so personal. However, their hearts finished breaking when the blonde assumed she had killed her sister too when she insisted to Yana stay with her so they could still kind of live the union they had back in Bohma. She should've let her gypsy soul just fly away to a secure place when she had the chance a few years ago. That would be a change of fates and Yana would still be alive. They wouldn't have to deal with the one side of the line being disconnected permanently.
Thank you Xaori, silver scropion and HerpDerp for the reviews and words. You guys are incredible!
I'd like to apologize for taking longer this time, but so much happened in my life these past weeks, besides the health, crazy happenings, it happened a stupid decrease of flow and inspiration to write... okay, Demotivation.
I was really affected with the previous chapter I guess and now heading to the end of the story, I needed to set better my plans for the upcoming events.
The good side was that this mini writing vacation helped me to connect a bit (again) with my vibe when I wrote Forbidden. I hope this is a romantic chapter, now that I think better.. hummm.
I also got ideas to how to continue the story (not that I didn't know), but now I have the events set in place (in my head).
Now it's the time I start crying like a baby :(
It's a serious confession, by the end I really used a personal experience (with my cat that died in January 2017). He had a liver problem and fought really hard until he couldn't make it. His doctor had commented with me how much he changed when he saw me there with him, even succumbing to his condition. That really hurt my soul because I watched him die slowly and I saw him being stubborn to stay while he was all fucked up in a tube in his arm and wearing diaper. He tried many times to stand up and even made it when we started the treatment and had hope he would overcome it. However, his condition had ups and downs and there were several times that his heart stopped right after I left the clinic. His doctor managed to bring him back several times, but with the time being, he was taking longer to return. So this chapter is a tribute for him and all the other pets I've lost recently, especially this year. It still hurts and lately I've been crying missing them. Unfortunately, life is not a fairtytale and my cat, Syd, taught me so much during his sick phase. He was poisoned after eating a lizard most probably because he loved hunting lizards (By the way I like lizards! I don't blame the lizard because I had read an article about something in their skin or body that causes liver problems to the animals that eat them, so it's a Nature thing!). Syd loved hunting, so it just happened! We took long to really realize what was the real cause of his liver problem. but now we have the lesson! It caught his life, but now we are more aware of such things and dangers and how to prevent and fight if it ever happen again, Hopefully it won't!
So I really watched him fight to stay with me, we loved each other very much! He used to welcome me happily every time when he was fine and when he felt sick of stupid things he used to look for me. So it was very painful to me to watch my cat sacrificing and struggling his pain to try to comfort me. So I really reached the level of talking a lot to him and tell him that he should do what would be the best for him because it hurt me to see him that way. Of course I would prefer him to still be with me, but what about the sequels? Wouldn't I be selfish in wanting my beloved to live a life and a condition that was so opposite to who he used to be? Wouldn't that be causing him more suffering? So I told him, he could go and asked him to forgive me for any mistake, but that wasn't a life for him and in heaven he wouldn't suffer anymore. But if he would overcome and get healthy again so he should fight with everything he had. So I just let the fate decide what would be the best for him, so he finally rested.
So, to write this chapter I visited that wound that I need to heal better, so somehow this story is being my therapy with a few things as I had said before.
I'm a story teller and this story has particularly being the one that I've been telling parts of my own story.
Okay, enough tears and sadness!
I have used a few songs during the chapter. So here it is the soundtrack (So chic huh! xD)
Velvet - Fergie
Hello - Evanescence
Goodbye - Spice Girls
Scarlet Love Song - X Japan: This one has special meaning to the story, I was actually going to name the chapter with this song's title, but I thought you could be confused with the Scarlet because of Eva's alter ego in Forbidden...BUUUT as a person that loves colors, I knew Scarlet is also a type of red, soooo in the math, the song fit Yana's theme for this chapter as she's a redhead (duuhh xD) I know I could alter that detail during my writing but that's why I kept the original lyrics as Scarlet in the sentences.
So for now I'm going and I won't promise when I will update again because I'll have this weekend taking all my time since it's my bday on sep 9th, so I might just go back to writing on Monday, but let's see!
As always, thank you for all the support and patience and more importantly, STAY TUNED!
