What is it
That I have lost?
And now I'm losing it again.
I'm tired,
Very tired.
But why can't I cry?
I can't figure out what have I lost.
''Hey?'' I asked the man with red Long hair.
''You remind me of someone who took something very important from me'' I took a step closer. I can't remember but somehow I have a feeling just by looking at his blood dyed hair makes me feel sick.
"Pathetic!" I said in disgust.
''How dare you talk to me like that and barging into my house at the middle of the night'' the man with red hair yelled. Pointing a metallic fan at me.
I giggled. My mind is mess up. I want to remember what have I lost.
''I can't remember it!'' I yelled. I have to.
''Tell me!'' I demand charging right at him. Striking the metallic scythe a voice inside my head keeps saying to chop his head off.
''You've gone mad. Aren't you supposed to be with that idiot?'' The man said blocking my attacks using his fan.
''What are you talking about?'' I frowned.
''For a normal person you seems to be good'' I said. No matter what attack I strike he seems to block it.
''Who are you calling a normal person. I came from a noble house, you little wench" he said with pride. Striking his harisen at me, he was able to faze my left shoulder. I felt some sting in my stomach. I clench it and I felt something dripping.
Blood?
When was I wounded?
''Misremember me Break'' those words suddenly appeared in my mind like a head ache. My chest tightens.
''It's no use'' a voice came out from nowhere.
''You don't need to remember it'' the voice spoke again.
"Or should I say you can't" the voice added.
''Let me handle things for now'' mist suddenly surrounds me. A splitting image of me appeared behind.
''So take a rest for now Elizabeth'' she said and I fell back into the darkness and took over my body.
''Don't get too cocky. I still can destroy you'' she smiled. Waving my scythe, huge chains appeared and completely caught the man off guard piercing it right through his shoulder and implanted at the wall.
''I despised that household the most'' She giggled.
''Tsk. What's with you? It seems like you're a different kind of person'' the man spits the blood out from his mouth.
"Soon! This soul used to be so pure. Well now it's mine" a wide grin spread on my lips.
"I'm just gonna keep my end of the bargain!" I laughed. Soon.
Oh yeah! I remember I made a deal. Seeing myself taking over by something else as I sunk down the dark and endless water.
A soul for a soul. That's how thing should be. My original goal was to free Lacie's soul out of the darkness. In order for her to get back in the cycle.
I don't care what happens next as long as I was able to repay lacie's kindness. That's all I ought to do.
Narrator's p.o.v:
As the pale brunette lady was fighting against the red haired duke. Kanon, Elizabeth's doll gone weary. He knows his mistress wish but he knows what will make her really happy.
"I'm sorry Lady Elizabeth" he said as he starts to disappear.
"I need to find that idiotic man" he said with rage.
The scenery starts to fade and in a blink of an eye he teleports himself back to pandora's head quarter.
He need to let the silly clown to know. He floats on the thin air looking for the white haired freak.
"How dare he! Didn't even say anything to the Lady" kanon muttered. Annoyed and worried he hurried between doors as he can see a well lighted room at the right wing of the headquarter.
A couple of medical equipment was settled properly in the room. As a figure can be seen on the bet, laying still.
"Ojou-sama" a crooked voice was heard beside. The white haired man was sitting beside the bed of the rains worth princess.
"Oh the hatter's princess" he said.
"You!" The white Voodoo doll faced him.
"Oh Elizabeth's doll" he said with a surprised tone.
" how dare you!" The doll slaps break.
Break was in shock for what the white doll did.
"She's suffering!" The doll said like a roar.
"And you have the gall to be with this woman" his words flow.
"You just forgotten the memories but I know your heart would never forget your feeling towards her"
"What was the purpose of making me, if you won't keep your promise"
"Lady Elizabeth loves you so much" another slap was given. Break just took it all without protesting.
"And now" the white voodoo doll starts to disintegrate.
"She'll vanish!" Break's eye widen.
"Hope you'll do the right" the doll's aggregated voice calmed down.
He press his little hand and press it on break's forehead.
"It wasn't your memory that was destroyed in the music box" the doll's lower cloth disappears going all the way up.
"It was hers and I shall give yours back"
"I begging you remember her and give this to her" the doll rips it's stomach apart. White cottons fell and instantly disappeared. He took out a ring and handed it to the man.
Half of the doll's face disappeared.
"You better fulfill your promise now" the doll said with a relieve face and disappeared leaving a ring behind and in a blink of an eye he instantly disappeared.
Break's p.o.v
"She'll vanish" the word struck me. Vanish? What does he mean? Vanish for a while or for good.
My voice won't get out. I need to ask. A soft tiny object was felt on my forehead.
"It wasn't your memory that was destroyed in the music box" his voice pulled me back to reality.
Then a sudden dizziness was felt the doll was mouthing something but I can't concentrate.
Memories were falling like raindrops.
A long time ago I met this eccentric girl who saved me from the kids who was bullying me. A girl with red eyes like mine. But hers were different, her eyes were enchanting like the moon, calm and gentle. She have this long dark brown wavy hair and this wicked smirk on her lips
She was cruel. Her words were sharp like the tip of the knife that was pointing to the kids in the village.
I remember clearly she made the kids cry and come running back their homes.
She extended her right hand. Her smirk was replace with a gentle one looking straight at me. I can see the gleam of her eyes. They were beautiful.
That was our first encounter under the sunny sky of the warm summer.
I fell in love with her right from that moment. Of course I was just a child and I thought I was just simply admiring her but years have passed we were close friends. Time have taught me it wasn't just admiration that I was feeling. It was love.
Indescribable, overflowing, unfathomable. Love
The leaves gone cold as it started to fall, the wind starts to sing its autumn song, under the starry sky of the vastness night .
I throw pebbles to a lighted window.
Her deep crimson eyes look down at me with excitement as she sneaks down her castle.
I waited down the big tree.
Sweaty hands and weak knees. I held the white doll tightly, the one I just made and wish it wasn't that ugly for her taste and inside the doll's stomach is a ring. A gold plated ring adorn with a big blue diamond. Blue was her favorite color though her eyes were deep red she likes the cool blue, let's just say she's a contradiction. And in that ring the words "Amor aeternus" was engraved, it means love forever, that someday I will have the courage to give but for now hidden in this doll I made.
There she is the lady who walk with grace, on her lips is a smile that can kill. How can she be breathless even she was just standing still with her mischievous smile. Her eyebrows raised with curiosity and I took a breath so I can speak.
"Hey"I said closing my distant to her.
"Hey"she replied with her melodic giggle.
"Tomorrow is the day" I said softly. Touching her hair. Tomorrow I'll be sending away to start my training to become a knight.
"Yeah tomorrow" a hint of sadness was present on her voice. She put her forehead against mine and that calmed me. She smells like roses, I'll miss this smell. I close my eyes living this moment.
"I have something" I said.
"I need to give you something" she said.
We stared at each other for a minute and laughed at each other. I took out a white doll with a big purple ribbon.
"For you! So that you won't get lonely" I said as I can see her smile widens.
"Pfft! Now this is awkward" she laughs taking the white doll and hold it near her chest.
" I didn't know you were giving me this now I'm torn of giving my gift to you or not" she sighed.
I chuckle knowing her antics she really know how to make me laugh.
"Here"she handed me a Blue colored doll with long hair and pink dress.
"Really? A doll" I teased as I received it.
"What you're a girly man you know that" she shrugged as she stares intently to the doll I made.
"Did you just called me gir-"she cut me off by drawing her distance too close to me. Her eyes were pulling me, I can hear her breathing, I can feel the warmth of her body. I'm really gonna miss her so badly. My hands are itching to hold her tightly.
Her lips was close to mine as she slowly touch my lips with hers. We kissed for the very first time under the starry night. The jolt of electricity was felt all over my body. It gives me a calm kind of chills. From that very moment I know I really love this girl.
"I'll be waiting here" she said more likely a promise. I ease up how lucky am I to have her. I smiled back and held her hands. The warmth that her hands give, the reassuring voice calm the storm that was brewing. Those gentle eyes keep pulling me to stay but I've made my decision and she promise me, she'll be here when I come back.
"I'll come back" I whispered in her ear. I can hear her heartbeat such a beautiful sound. I gave a kiss putting all the things that I said and I haven't. That kiss was a promise and my confession. I wanted to tell her I love her, that I'll miss her, and that I'll definitely come back. And someday I hope I would able to give the ring. And with that I break off, embrace her tightly and said my good bye.
I didn't knew that was the last time I would ever see her under the autumn night.
And after all these years I finally finished my knighthood. I stand proud unlike before, I can prove myself worthy and I'll be able to stay by her side. Years pass and we keep on exchanging letters but this will be the last time I'll send one, since the day after tomorrow is finally the day I'll see her again.
I look at the doll she made it was a little worn out but after all these years it did a pretty good job not getting torn or anything. I couldn't get some sleep since my excitement overpowered my drowsiness. But I was hoping just a wink could help. May the star guide my night and let me have a quick sleep.
I woke up from the sound of horses. I wasn't able to get enough sleep last night. I freshen up and take all the stuff into the carriage it will be a day and a half journey arriving my home town.
The journey was smooth as there was no delay. It was a lazy afternoon the chilly weather seemed to enter the town, the busy town people roam around the street wearing there thick clothes, and the sky was a little bit fogged by clouds it seems snow is going to fall soon. We entered the Baskerville's gate
"Proceed to the Regnard house hold to drop my stuff" I yelled to the couch man as I jump out of the carriage.
"If it isn't Kevin" a raven haired man appeared dress in black suit that compliments his hair.
"Glen-sama" I give respect to The Lord of the house. Glenn Baskerville was the head of this household. More likely the town. The Baskerville's are the most richest and well respected household.
"She's in her room" glen said plainly. Likely he was already expecting my arrival I bow down once again and run my way in.
With body shaking and the excitement to see her my hands become sweaty. And though it excites me but on the same time it was killing. From being so nervous. Every step I take makes me breathless. I'm so nervous that after those years I wasn't with her things might have change. Changes always scares me.
And that day changed me.
From the very moment I met her I was always pulled by her crimson colored eyes. I never like the color of red before.
Children of misfortunes!
That's what we are called.
Children with deep crimson eyes are labeled and feared by normal people.
That's the thing about people, they're are scared of something peculiar. People can't comprehend what's beyond the normal border.
And what goes beyond that scares them to death.
I was forsaken by society. I despise the color of my eyes. It was with these eyes I was treated differently.
But because of these eyes I was able to meet her. The first day we met was outrageous but because of that meeting I got to have a friend but later on feelings starts to deepen. I never tell her these her eyes was my favorite color. I have come to love that color.
Deep red.
Like a pool of blood.
"Blood" my voice cracked. Now the excitement was gone and replaced with fear. My face went white and I can feel my hands cold.
Spots of blood was seen in front of Elizabeth's door. The door was slightly open.
I feel sick as my body feels heavy.
Oh god! Please not her!
I tried to breathe but it feels like I was trapped in a very tight room. I held the cold door knob and slowly open it.
My knees gave up from the moment I open the door. My heart broke into a thousand pieces. I froze seeing the love of my life sitting lifeless on the floor.
Her dark brown hair was a messed. Her dress was tainted with blood near the chest. There were splashes of blood on her pale skin. Her beautiful eyes are now empty. Her frail body was leaning on the wall.
I began to crawl next to her since my legs won't let me walk or even stand up. My hand reaches to hers. Cold! Her hands were cold.
"E-Elizabeth! P...leas..e" I held her lifeless body tightly. I can feel my entire shake.
"H-help!" I said. It was supposed to be a yell but it came out as a whisper.
This is just a nightmare, isn't it?.
If it is I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. But what's the use you can't wake up if you are not dreaming, right?
And with the first fall of snow I lost the only woman I ever loved.
