Chapter 2: Unclear
She was stunned but then looked away immediately.
"T-thank you…" She muttered softly.
The assassin shook his head and then stood up. Slowly, he placed her down, letting her stand on her own feet. She faced the ground once she stood. Her body was quivering…her mind, unbelieving.
"You…" She started, still not facing him.
"You…" Her voice a bit louder.
"You saved me!" She said finally looking up. Yet, instead of seeing a face looking back at her, she saw the back of the assassin walking away from her.
"W-wait! Come back! HEY!" Krisien started screaming as she ran after him. "Please! Come back!" She continued nearly stumbling as she continued to dash after the assassin.
Then. He came to a halt. And so did she.
He simply stood and smiled at her. Krisien was puzzled…
What is he doing? What's happening? Is this just some dream? Some nightmare?
Still he smiled…with that, Krisien saw all of his face's features…skin of fair shade, fine eyes of deep blue pools, and lips of gentle red. She was…hypnotized. She was hypnotized of his sinful beauty…so hypnotized that she was unaware of the lights that were rushing towards her.
"Krisien!" A voice called after her from behind.
She turned her body to see from where it was coming from. Several flashes of light were closing in on her. She turned towards where the assassin stood once again.
But he was gone.
Her vision blurred. Then all went black.
She squinted her eyes. All she could see was colors of deep blue running across her eyes.
She sat up.
"My room!" She blurted out.
"Uhm....yes Krisien. This isroom…as it has been ever since."
Krisien turned to her side.
"Ria!" She exclaimed.
Ria shook her head and sat beside her bed.
"Well I am indeed delighted that you are back to your normal animated self once again." She said in her usual soft voice that would never seem to sound threatening even if some pervert decided to raise her skirt.
That thought enter Krisien's mind and she started to snicker. Ria just raised an eyebrow at her thinking that Krisien was acting a bit eccentric at the moment.
"Oh my…Dear child, you have been in bed for 2 days already. I think what happened to you was quite a shock. Was it not?" Ria suddenly asked her, drawings Krisien's face to a blank. She suddenly became serious.
"What did happen back there Krisien?" She asked, concern in her voice.
"I…I'm really not sure." Krisien said. Herself, a bit in a trance.
Deciding to not let Krisien drown in too much thought, Ria changed the topic yet again.
"All right then. I'll just leave you to rest more. Lunch will be served in 2 hours." Ria said as she exited Krisien's room leaving her alone.
"What did happen?" Krisien asked herself in the silence of her room. She sighed and tightened her fists. To her astonishment, she felt something hard enclosed in her palms. She then saw a pin with an engraved symbol of a black thorn.
"Could this be…from him?"
