I went down to the Night rays garden. I sat down behind the bush staring at the bright moon. Fireflies were sparking beautifully while floating in the gentle wind, as the gentle wind pass through my hair.
"Chloe-chan?!" a man standing at my side said it.
I was surprise that it was Break "Break-kun what are you doing here?" I ask him. He sat near me
"Well I'm here to have some quiet time, there are so many people in the party" Break's reaction shows his a little bit annoyed. I laugh
"Where's Sharon-chan?" I look at him while he was taking something from his pockets
"She's still inside talking to her new friends" he replied.
"Did you finally tell her?" I ask him seriously.
He nod and smiled.
"I think it turns out well" I said to him while I suddenly cough
"Sometimes you should mind your own business but for now thank you." He gave thanks and scolded me in the same time.
"You should learn take care of yourself first before others." Break sigh then he take-off his coat and put it on me.
His coat was warm and soft that protects my body from the cold wind. I smiled and thank him.
"The moon and the stars are shining brightly tonight aren't they Break?" I carelessly said it to him. I just realize he can no longer see what a big idiot am I
"I guess I can no longer agree with that, now I lose my ability to see I can no longer see beautiful things only the dark will always haunt me. I think this is my punishment but this punishment is also my only salvation" break said sadly.
I poke his fore head with my pointing finger he was surprise
"That's not true Break; don't think of it as your punishment. Even you can't see any more, you still have your mouth to speak, your ears to hear , your hands to feel and your heart to love. Sometimes the blind can see more things than the person who can see normally." I said to him
"Plus you still have people who cares about, the people who are willing to support you and will always by your side" I said to him while smiling.
He looks away and trying to act that he wasn't bother to the things I said.
"Especially Sharon" I tease him Break turns around looking at me and keep on saying that I should stop saying nonsense; I laugh so hard because of his reaction.
Then he finally stops nagging at me
"Idiot stop comforting me, that's not very cute" he said. I just smiled at him.
Then I feel something was inside his pocket so I decided to look at it.
"What's this?" I ask while taking it out from Break's coat.
"Oh that's a music box. We got it from our mission from Sablier" he replied, while he gets it from my hand
"I believe this belongs to her" Break said it while winding up the music box.
"To who?" I ask again.
"To that person who stays in that gloomy room, Elizabeth" The music box opens.
A melody was played
"This melody is…" I said softly while Break was paying his attention to me
"Makes me want to dance, let's dance Break" I stood up and offers my hand. His eyes widened.
At first I thought he will reject my offer but he reach for my hand and stood up and we started dancing with the rhythm of the melody.
This feeling is nostalgic; it makes me happy for a while. Just like a child that doesn't think about anything but only play.
I only focus my eyes on break, while keeps on dancing and trying to forget the world for a while. The place was surrounded by luminous light created by the fireflies that makes the place enchanted; the breeze was calm and gentle while the moon and stars shines beautiful from above I lean my head against his warm and strong chest.
"I'm so happy; I hope this moment will last forever. I really miss doing these things. Just like before Kevin" I said softly.
Break was surprise
"What did you just call me" as he holds my shoulder tightly.
"It hurts to leave you again Kevin but…" I said. The color of my pupils turns to red then took a dagger
"Please Kevin-kun, kill me. Stab my heart with this dagger, don't let me be awaken completely or else they are just going to use me" I pleaded him.
"Are you playing with me, well then if that's what you really want?" he snatch the dagger from my hands.
"Are you sure about this?" Break asks trying to test me. I smiled at him
"Yes"
He throws the dagger and unsheathes his sword as he tries to protect me. There was someone who was standing behind me waiting for the right moment to strike.
"You're crazy I don't kill anybody without a reason but now I have reason to kill" Break said to me.
I was knocked down the ground. "What happen?" asking for answers.
A scream was heard from nearby.
"Ojou-sama" Break whispered but he can't get away because he still has an opponent.
"Break! What's happening here?" I ask him in confusion.
"Oh my, you've come back to your senses now Chloe-chan. Well some Baskerville was just attacking us and nearly killed you" while dodging the attack of a man who wears red hood holding a huge sword swinging it with an intention of killing who ever will get hit.
Then another scream was heard and this time it's a familiar voice
"Sharon-chan, Ojou-sama" Break and I shouted in the same time. I quickly climb the stairs to see what's happening while break was still caught up fighting a man with a huge sword.
"It's an honor to fight you mad hatter" the man in the red hood said to Break.
"Damn you, I don't have the luxury of time to play" Break curse as he strikes.
I finally reach the balcony and headed inside then I finally saw Sharon who was in the floor trying to fight a little girl wearing the same hood.
"My you're no good as an opponent one-chan, without your chain you're pretty useless. You're just one of those girls who like to wear pretty dresses, putting some color in their face and live a beautiful life with no problem because they're filthy rich. How weak and pathetic." the little girl said it with irritating feeling.
"You're wrong I'm not useless, I don't rely always on my chain or on my friends" Sharon shouted.
"Whatever let's just play" the girl was about to attack Sharon with a knife. She stabs it to her but then I jump in front of Sharon and eventually my left shoulder receive the attack.
My knee touches the ground my left arm bleeds badly, I tried to stop the blood from coming out. "Chloe-chan!" Sharon cries.
"Sharon to anyone that ever told you that you're no good… they're no better" As I turn and gave a cold stare to the little girl.
"What did you just say?" the girl demanded me to say the things I just said. I stood up while holding my shoulder
"You can't even understand simple words; I said you are the one who is really weak". I said to her plainly.
"I'll kill you…I'll kill you… I'll kill you" the girl said it again and again.
As she tries to attack me but I dodge all of her attack and took the knife away from her
"Now let me see. Who is weak, what will a kid do when a she doesn't have her toy" I said to her teasingly.
She was getting more and more annoyed. The girl summons her chain. A figure appeared behind her a chain with a form of a big furious fox. The chain has a murderous intent that will attack and kill anyone with no mercy.
"Bandersnatch teach her some lesson!" she yelled at her chain. The chain act as its master wish, the chain moves so fast. That I can't almost see where it is heading, a sudden pain I felt in my right leg,
The big wolf was biting my right foot, and its sharp long teeth were buried inside my skin. I try to stab it with the knife I got from its master but I failed because the chain acts so fast.
The chain was not just fast it's also strong. The chain tackled me, I found myself hitting the wall. My body can't move anymore because of the pain.
The girl came near me and pulled my hair
"One-chan, this is fun let's continue playing" she giggled
"What's wrong one-chan are you tired already?" the little girl place the knife near my checks.
"Get off her" Sharon throws her shoes.
The girl was hit in her shoulder that gets her attention
"Did you just throw a shoe at me?!" She said furiously. She let go off me and went straight to Sharon. She slaps and pushes Sharon. Sharon was about to step back then I notice that behind her was a stair.
"Sharon-sama, don't move!" I shouted but I was too late she fell down the stairs leaving her unconscious.
"Sharon!" I shouted. The girl just giggled
"Is she dead one-chan?" the girl said playfully. I quickly came near her and found out her heart is still beating, there were no major injury were found on her head or any part of her body except for her injury earlier but it wasn't that serious.
"I never wanted to use my power even if you'll hurt me but then you dared to hurt the person who is close to me I won't forgive. You'll pay for this" I stood up and summons night lock. There was a strong gush of wind then a dark and big figure came out behind me.
A dark and huge figure appeared floating in the air holding a very big sword. Night lock started to attack the enemy's chain with great strength and agility. The little girl was irritated she attacks me again. I dodge all of her attacks, I threw the knife near her chest but unfortunately she was alert the wall was only hit.
Night lock strikes hitting and leaving bandersnatch weak
"No!" the girl yelled. She looks at me with angry eyes.
I just gave her a smirk; I ran behind her as fast as I can hit her head with my right arm. Finally I made her unconscious and lay her on the ground, while Night lock gave his finishing blow to her chain and destroys it permanently. The timing was right I almost felt that I almost lose my energy in using night lock.
My body finally gave up as I sit weakly on the solid ground, my left arm was still bleeding, and the situation got worst when I started coughing blood. I wipe it with my right hand.
"Chloe?" a familiar voice called me.
I turn my head and saw it was Break covered with blood.
"Break, what happen to you?" I ask him plainly trying to hide the pain from my injuries.
"Did you forget you leave me behind earlier while I was fighting that man? Enough with this chit chat how are you and where is Ojou-sama?" he asks worriedly.
"I'm fine; the more important thing is Sharon. Earlier she was attack by a little kid wearing a red hood with a tattoo in her left cheek. She was push down the stairs." I said trying to stop coughing.
"What? Where is she?!" Break said with an angry tone.
"Sharon's alright, she just loses her conscious. She is located below this floor" I said softly.
"Why didn't you even protect or just help her?!" Break shouted. It was the first time I saw Break got angry.
He rushes down the stairs and find where Sharon is. Even Break is blind he still got his ability to sense other people even though he can't see the faces.
I can't blame him being angry at me, he truly cares for Sharon. I cough harshly, even I just use a little amount of my chains power my body can't handle it. Slowly I stand up keeping my balance.
Then something strangles my neck, a whip wraps around my neck I hold it trying to break free but unfortunately I can't because it was too tight. Someone was behind
"You, how dare you hurt my cute little Lily" my eyes widen as I try to see who is it.
A pink short haired girl was standing behind me. She has an eyes shade in pink with angry looks. She started tightens the grip that makes it hard to breathe.
"I'll play with you for a while" she said it simply.
She swings her whip back and forth as my body hits the wall hardly. Later she loosens her whip on my neck and tries to hit it all over my body. I shouted in pain.
"Does it hurt?" she laughs.
"This pain is no match from the pain I feel inside" I said it to her. She wasn't satisfied on my reaction so she started to hit me again with her whip.
"That's not the correct answer. I want you to cry, so cry, and beg for mercy" she said it sadistically.
Break was still searching for Sharon.
"Ojou-sama?" Break shouted.
A figure was on the floor. He finally found her. "Ojou-sama, are you alright?" Break asks. Break tries to wake her up; finally Sharon was half awake
"Break" she smiled faintly. Break was relief.
"How are you?" ask softly.
"I'm alright, you?" she ask.
"I'm perfectly fine Ojou-sama" Break replied.
"How about Chloe, is she alright? What happen to her, earlier I was attack by a girl wearing a hood then she suddenly jumps in and receives the attack that was meant to me." Sharon explains. Break's eye widens.
"She's above this floor, I'll assist you to her" break said. He carries Sharon and climbs the stair. He went back to where he saw her.
"Watch out!" I shouted, trying to warn them. The enemy was attacking but Break easily dodges the attack.
"Chloe-chan!" Sharon runs towards me.
"Oh no, you lose so much blood from your injury" she said it while panicking. Break tore a piece of cloth from his suit and binds my left arm.
"This can prevent the flow of the blood somehow" he said while tying it around my arms.
"This is rare, it's a pleasure to see you again mad hatter" the girl smiled.
"So that girl is a friend of yours" she giggled
"It was nice playing with her, she's challenging and I like challenges" she hits the floor with her whip.
"Let's continue" she grin.
She attacks and tries to hit me again but Break blocks it by his cane.
"Now, now Miss. You now I don't want to hurt a lady" saying it confident smile.
"Move hatter you're not my opponent" the girl demanded."Ojou-sama guide Chloe in a safer place" Break said. Sharon nod.
"Let's go Chloe" Sharon said it softly.
"I'm sorry but I don't want to leave this fight" I smiled to her.
"My, my Chloe stop being so stubborn" Break warns me but I didn't mind him I stood up slowly, and then summons my chain again.
"Night lock, please finish this immediately" there was a strong gush of wind and a huge dark shadow appears.
Dark aura surrounds the places. Slowly the pink hair girl and the little girl earlier were slowly swallowed by the dark aura.
"What's going on" as the pink haired girl struggles to get out from it but fail.
"This is not going to be our last meeting, we'll definitely meet each other again and when that time comes I'll kill you" she threatens then she looks deeply into my eyes and notice it was turning red
"You're a monster!" she shouted, I was surprise on the things she said
"You're the one who cause all of this misfortune, just like the others" She was swallowed by the dark aura and disappeared. My chain also disappears.
"That was impressive Chloe-chan, I didn't know you already have a chain" Break said it while approaching me. I wasn't able to answer him back. Something's wrong I can feel it. My head hurts so badly.
"What's this?" I questioned myself, as it hurts more and more. I held my forehead trying to bear the pain.
"Please stop this already; we will only hurt the person who is important to us. The time is ticking so fast please prevent me from waking up" a soft voice was speaking begging me.
"Are you alright?" Break shouted trying to call me back to reality. Break finally caught my attention.
"Please let go of me, I'm already ok" I avoid eye contact and moves away from Break.
Break was worried he tries to approach me but I walk away from him.
"Chloe-chan, where are you going?" The injured Reinsworth princess asks.
"I just want to be alone for a while." I said to her.
"But your bleeding badly" Sharon said.
PLEASE make some reviews... I really need your help...(to be continued)
