...---Chapter 11---...
Memory---forget
Scream, blood, and death were the only things that she could remember. There was nothing else that she could remember. Was she a killer? If not, then why is her memory so filled death? She touched her face that was covered with tears. Why did her heart ach so much? Did she do something wrong?
"Ely, you are awake?"
She didn't answer. She looked at that black haired handsome boy with a strange look. He seemed to be very familiar to her. She must have been very close to him, but yet, why did sadness invade her this much?
"Ely?"
"Who are you?"
"What did you just say?"
"I... I..." I can't remember anything!
"You lost your memory?"
"I..."
"Don't worry, I'm here by your side." He smiled at her.
"I..." Why do my tears want to come out when he says that?
"Your name is Elwynn, but I am the only one who calls you Ely. And my name is Hao."
"Hi..." Hao... I have to remember that...Hao... Why does this name make me want to cry?
"Don't cry."
"I didn't..."
"Just don't, ok?"
"Ok... Who am I?"
"You are my fiancée. You have been living here for a long time with me."
"Hao-sama." A hooked girl came in. "Frederick is searching for you."
"Oh, tell him to come in."
"But..." That girl is here...
"Tell him to meet me outside."
"Yes, Hao-sama."
"Hao... Why is she calling you Hao-sama and not Hao? Am I disturbing you?"
"Why would you think like that?"
"She said 'that girl is here...'... Am I not wanted here?"
"You are welcomed here. As long as I say is ok, then it is."
"You sound like you are the law."
"I am."
"That's funny."
"Hao-sama," Another person came in. "We've found the location of Mount Aureate."
"Good."
Elwynn looked puzzled, but Hao showed no sign of explaining it to her.
"Stay here. I'll leave Wayne and Wyatt here. If you want anything, just ask them."
"Ok."
She looked at him as he set away. Then, two people came in. Wayne and Wyatt were twins? They were completely identical from the head to toe unlike the twins that she knew... Wait! Did she know someone who was twins?
"Elwynn-san, we are at your service." If Hao-sama didn't order me, I wouldn't even come.
"Elwynn-san, I am Wyatt, and he is Wayne. But if you mistaken about us, it's ok. Feel free to ask us to do anything" No one except Hao-sama can tell the difference between us. Why must we serve this person instead of going with Hao-sama...
"Thank you. But I wish to be alone."
"Then we shall excuse ourselves." Who does she think she is? 'I wish to be alone'. We are not her servants. And we have to pretend to nice to her...
"One more thing." Elwynn said.
"Yes?" What does she want now?
"Please don't be this fake to me. I can hear your minds."
"!?!" Only Hao-sama can do that!
"I can also hear your minds, just like Hao."
"You... you..."
"Impossible..."
"I don't mind what you think about me. It is your own opinion, and I have no power in controlling that."
"..."
"..."
"Just go now. I really need to be alone."
She slept, but another nightmare woke her up.
She looked toward the window, which was the only light source in this room even though it was in the night. She went out of the bed and went to it. She touched the windowsill and felt the coldness that was there. Why did all this seem to be so unfamiliar to her? Was she really Hao's fiancée? If it was so, why did the other people dislike her? She opened the window and let the wind blew at her. She closed her eyes and just let that soft chilling current of air passed her by. Then, it started raining. That cold water smashed on her face.
Elwynn's POV:
Why are my tears going out as soon as it starts to rain? Am I always like this? And why am I always having nightmares? Awful memories? But am I really this horrible that people can't support me? Who is Chris? I dreamt about his death... Is he dear to me? But Hao kills him, so he must be bad? And there are two other spirits-like thing... Who are they? Why does it seem like, each time I close my eyes, I will dream of death? Am I this cruel that the only way to repent is having no sleep at all? And the rain... Why am I so sad when I see it? I must find the answer to all this...
End of POV
Elwynn went back to sleep. Again and again she dreamt about death or massacre, and the person doing all that was Hao... Why was he killing all these people? Were they the sinned ones? Or Hao was... She couldn't sleep anymore. Those images left a scar in her heart. She was afraid of sleeping... For some reason, she was still tired. Did she ever have a good night sleep? One without death or blood? She couldn't help herself but fell into another nightmare dreams...
---------
There was someone singing although Elwynn couldn't see that person's face. Everything was dark here. For once, there wasn't any blood or dead people, but everything was still black and wet. It was raining. She heard that girl sang with such a trembling sad voice.
In this lonely raining night
Nothing else but sadness envelops me.
Remorseful tears fill the depth of my heart.
Every night I'm sleepless
Just because I'm afraid to miss
My only chance of seeing you.
I wonder if that day was the last chance
To set my eyes on your smile.
Why did her song affect her so much? Who was that 'you' that the singer was referring?
The crystallized stars are fading in this galaxy
Just like the time that runs in me.
But you unwittingly leapt into my field of view.
My long slumbering heart becomes confuse.
My dust-covered heart beats again.
I then realize,
Not even for a fragment of a second,
I've forgotten about you
Not even for a moment in my life
That my meaning of life is not of you.
Did that person have someone that she loved this much? Who could someone love a person this much?
Once, my heart fluttered
When you laugh teasingly.
Now, your smile shows no emotion and no warmth.
Your love has been covered by nothing but ice.
"I love you"
The most beautiful worlds in the world,
Now turn into the most cantankerously words ever.
Why a person would say "I love you" but didn't mean what it meant? Did she have that past? If not, why are more of her tears falling out?
I dream the future
Of others, and you and I,
But not once was it without deaths.
Is my only way of being with you
Based on the sorrow and deaths of others?
Dreamt of death? Wasn't this like her?
I do not wish to hurt you,
Although right now, I'm hurting you more than ever...
All I ever wanted, it's to see you happy
I choose to defy all others
Just to see you smile once more.
If my presence brings you nothing but pain,
Then I choose to disappear forever in time.
I love you; there is nothing more to it.
I love you; can you hear me?
Why would love hurt a person? Couldn't the person the singer loves know what this person is thinking?
(I just want to put this somewhere. It is just a small thingy about Elwynn, hehehe!)
Elwynn walked toward the origin of the voice. There, she saw a long pink haired girl... It was she! But... but... She didn't have anything like this! This couldn't be she!
"Don't be afraid. Please don't go away from me..."
"You... you look just like me..."
"I am your memory, just some sad and painful memories..."
"Don't I have something good in my life? Why is my memory pain?"
"Your only happiness is based on other's sorrow. You can't be happy, or else other suffers."
"Everyone can have his or her own happiness! There are no people in the world that will only suffer..."
"There is, and it is you. You loved someone that you are not supposed to love."
"Who is that 'someone'?"
"Hao, Asukura Hao."
"Hao? Why can't I love him? He... He..."
"You will not want to remember. Everything in your past is pain. But... Do you want to be selfish?"
"Selfish? For what?"
"I won't give you back your memories, and I will also erase this dream from your mind for three days."
"Why will you do that?"
"I'm selfish... I want to have some good memories before I have to accomplish my mission."
"But didn't you say that my happiness is based on other's unhappiness? Then what if others get hurt?"
"This is why I said it is selfish... You have never done anything selfish... except once... But if there is anyone who will get hurt, I will interfere."
"What did I do that was selfish?"
"You will remember, three days after..."
"But..."
"Will you want to have some days of peace, where nothing else but yourself matters to you? And that you will not have any nightmares?"
"I want that."
"It's granted... for three days only..."
---------
As soon as Christopher woke up, he rushed to find Elwynn, the star mirror, and the remaining spirits. It was then that he looked where he was. Yoh and his gang were all there in an unusual calmness.
"You are awake."
"Elwynn! Where is she?"
"Hao..."
"He took her! He must have! Edward, Hailey, Reithia, Loki, Yuki, come!"
"Hum... more than half of them are devored by spirit of fire..."
"WHAT! Who are left?"
"The two small animals..."
"Loki, Yuki. Come, we'll save Wynn Wynn."
"Bree!"
"Brooum!"
He took (yes, he took the star mirror despite it is a real object) the star mirror and headed out of there.
---------
When Elwynn woke up, her face was filled with tears. What did she dream about? How come she couldn't remember? Was it a good thing? She didn't have enough time to think some more because Hao came in. she quickly swept her tears away.
"Ely, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing. I just had a nightmare."
"What kind of nightmares?"
"Deaths... But I'm fine now... Where did you go?"
"Mount Aureate."
"Why have you returned this soon?"
"I can't get through somewhere, and I don't want to force to enter."
"Oh... Can you stay?" Please say yes...I don't want to be separated from you...
"Are you asking me or ordering me?"
"Asking..." Will he say yes?
"I won't."
"Oh..." I'll be separated from him... I don't want that, I'll miss him... I've to tell him. The only way that I'll ever have something is that I gain it myself. "Can I..."
"But you have to come with me."
"For real?"
"Yes."
"Thanks Hao!"
She gracious thanked him by giving him a hug. He held her back.
"Let's get going."
"Where are we going again?"
"Mount Aureate."
"Why?"
"Secret!"
