Chapter Three: Path to Darkness
Lacus Clyne seated in one of the provided chairs in the hotel's beach. She carefully watched two kids building a sand castle. Slowly but surely, they gave their best to build it to perfection. At last, they finished it and jumped for joy but the waves rushed over and destroyed it, which caused them to cry and run to their parents.
She stretched and yawn, I wish we'd be like that…someday.
She again was thinking about her friend, Kira Yamato. The brunette haired coordinator, now 22, leading Orb through hardwork and determination alone. She always admired him for that. She remembered the final battle, Kira quoted to Rau Le Creuset's negative thoughts, "This world is still worth protecting!" Up to today, he continuously works to prove what he had said before.
She stood up and started to walk back to the hotel.
All of a sudden, the lights were cut off and she hears footsteps nearing her. She started to run. Lacus can't see anything that caused her to trip. Even though she can feel a pang of pain in her knee but she didn't care and she pursued on running aimlessly. Only seconds later, her lower body can't support her due to the terrible bleeding.
She tried not to cry but she couldn't stop it to flow. She felt someone site next to her and covered her mouth with a handkerchief with sleeping potion. All she saw was a person with raven hair mouthing the word, 'revenge'.
Now he knows why Cagalli has a very odd behavior around these old coots. All they do is to talk and talk but no progress. What will happen to Orb, no, to the world if they were in charge?
Kira stretched a bit and noticed the humid weather, if Lacus would be here, I don't need the sun to brighten my day.
He was getting bored, "So concluding, we need to do more work. Henceforth, this meeting for this day is adjourning."
He sighed as all of the council members exited the boarding room.
Yzak Joule continued to rant about his misfortune. Why? Well carry on reading…
Start of Flashback
"He Yak!" Dearka's head all of sudden peaked in Yzak's office. Unlike his best friend's office, which is tidy and pleasant to the eyes, Dearka's office was the complete opposite.
Yzak narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"
"Today's my birthday and I want to invite you for lunch."
He can't believe what he had just heard. Is the playboy (who is already married to a dignified woman, Mir) has been influenced to be this good? Since his stomach was now on the verge of WWIII, he decided to come along.
In the restaurant…
"Happy birthday Dearka!" Mir hugged her loving husband.
He kissed her right on the lips, "What would I do without you?"
Yzak was disgusted with the scene, rolled his eyes and cocked his head to the side. Then came Lunamaria and Rey late, with Luna's arm entwined with Rey's arm. He again cocked his head to the other side and saw three couples at the same time, kissing! Due to his hatred to love, his blood began to boil, he tried to stand and run but he can't as if he was glued to his seat. Yzak can't take this anymore. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he shouted in anger and the manager approached him and asked him to leave the restaurant.
End of Flashback
Yzak sighed and played his cell phone.
She slowly opened her eyes, hoping for the shimmer of light but all she saw was darkness, as if it was engulfing her. Then a creek of light manages to flood the room because of the open door, which revealed two men. One person touched her face and handed an envelope to the other person who accepted it and left them all alone in the room. Now that they are all alone, all that Lacus Clyne can do is to cry.
End of Chapter 3
Author's Note:
Wow, another chapter done! I like to thank the people who had been reviewing this fic! Thank you! BTW, might be slow in updating because my mid year test is coming. Okay, number one, I'm a first year high school student studying in a science high school so we really have this mid year then our semester break then quarterly test. Please bear with me and it's hard to get grades with 90 as my lowest and 97 or 96 as my highest because that is my target for this 2nd quarter. Anyway, I'm happy that you people are supporting this and I'm happy because of the channel HERO (Ch 44).
Thanks a lot!
