Flashback
Streets
Celestia stumbled out of the hospital in shock, her whole body felt numb. What did the doctor say to her? It cannot possibly be true! With her arms wrapped around herself, she walked onto the street aimlessly, her pupil not focused on anything in particular.
It can't be true, it just can't.
…I'm sorry miss, but you...
The familiar voice of the doctor ran through her mind, she shook her head, wanting to shake the memory out, it's not true! She will not accept that! The day is growing dark, it's almost night time and she has no where to go. Stopping in her tracks she looked up at the tall apartment building in front of her.
It's where Ray lives.
Suddenly, as if finding a light at the end of a tunnel, a ghost of a smile appeared on her lips and she slowly made her way towards the building. Suddenly, a car pulled up beside her, she paused and turned to look at the men that have stepped out, she recognized one of them...
Celestia moaned and fluttered open her eyes slowly, she looked up at a dark ceiling with dim lights surrounding it. Her body feels weak and strange, looking down she realizes that she is sitting in a chair that resembles somewhat of a chair in a dentist's office.
Where is she?
"You're awake."
Celestia turned her head and saw Voltaire stepping up towards her with a folder in his hand, she looked at him strangely. "What am I doing here?"
Voltaire said nothing, instead he looked towards his left and another man stepped out, he looked to be in his late twenties with a calm look on his face. "Celestia, this is Paul, he... is a hypnotist, he can change you into any other person you want."
"Why would I want to change?" Celestia countered back immediately; suddenly she knew what this was about.
"Grand-daughter, you already know why I'm doing this, don't you?" Voltaire said slowly.
Celestia looked at him and slowly diverted her eyes away, tears welled up, she took in a deep breath and tried to calm herself. "Why would I accept you? You burned a mark onto my forearm and threw me away, why should I accept you right now?"
"Celestia, I don't care if you accept me or not, but... I know you love Kai, and you two can never be so..."
"So?" Celestia raised an eyebrow.
It was true; she was the baby that Voltaire threw away so many years ago, not wanting her. It was pathetic how she did end up coming back and just had to fall in love with her own biological older brother. The DNA results that came back showed that she has 50 of matching DNA to Kai, signalling that she might be related to Kai. And now... with Voltaire confirming this, there was not doubt about it.
"Do you know how harsh this news will be to Kai?"
Celestia's eyes dimmed, she looked down at the ground with Kai's image running through her mind. He will not take this, he probably won't believe them until he found the truth by himself, by then, he'd be broken.
"Just tell me your intention."
Voltaire looked at Celestia for few moments longer before sighing and handed her the folder in his hand. Celestia took it over and looked at it, it's her health record, the one she did at the hospital a few hours ago. She glanced up at Voltaire then flipped it open and began reading through it.
Voltaire watched as her face turned pale, her eyes widened and tears threatened to spill. Her breaths came in ragged pants and she bit her bottom lip. Without a warning, she screamed and torn up the folder one piece at a time and watched as the pieces of paper slowly drifted down onto the ground.
"Celestia... now that you know about it, I can help you. I can help you forget." Voltaire suggest gently.
Celestia turned her widened eyes on him, the tears on the verge of falling. "How?"
"Paul can turn you into a different person, Celestia Oki can then just disappear from this Earth and you can become someone else, someone totally different." Voltaire looked at his grand-daughter and tried a smile. "I'm not doing this just for Kai; I'm doing this for you as well, helping both of you to ease the blow. So, what do you say?"
Celestia starred at him then she slowly turned her gaze onto Paul, whom is standing a few steps behind Voltaire. Slowly, she nodded, and consented to another journey of her life.
Then she closed her eyes and let everything take over her, in her mind, she pictured Kai. His face, his eyes, his nose, his mouth, his hair, his hands, his body, his kisses, his hugs, they're so clear.
Slowly, slowly, slowly... his face became a blur.
Slowly, slowly, slowly... she cannot remember the color of his eyes anymore.
Slowly, slowly, slowly... she cannot recall the feeling of his kisses; she cannot remember the warmth of his hugs.
His image is slipping away from her mind, little by little, piece by piece, he's fading away.
Kai…
A tear dropped from underneath her closed eyelids and rolled down her cheek. He's gone, not even a trace of him can be found in her memory.
"Now. Awake." Paul's quiet voice reached through to her ears.
She opened her eyes slowly, the scene in front of her coming clear. She sees no one, darkness surrounds her. Then she heard a voice. "Who are you?"
She opened her mouth and an answer came to her naturally. "Celle. My name is Celle Ran."
From then on, Celestia died, and Celle was born. Voltaire and Paul stood in the shadows as Celestia... now known as Celle walked out of the room after a bit of investigation, which concluded in nothing. From now on, she is Celle, not Celestia.
After she closed the door behind her, Voltaire dialled a familiar number and heard an old voice. "Star gazer."
"I'm no longer in that profession."
"You don't remember me?"
"Forgive me."
"This is Voltaire."
There was silence on the line, after a while, the old voice rang out again. "I remember you, the grandfather that threw his own grand-daughter away to ensure the safety of his only grandson. I remember I gave your little grand-daughter the sign of eternity on her forearm."
"You remember correctly, and just to inform you, what you said about fate was totally irrelevant. I have over come destiny and made sure that nothing will go wrong." Voltaire said cockily, still looking at the door with a bit of linger.
The star gazer sighed and spoke quietly into the phone. "Mr. Hiwatari, apparently, you missed my message to you. Then I shall deliver it again. You cannot fight fate or destiny. What happens in their future is bound to happen no matter what you do." He then paused and Voltaire glanced at his cell phone expectantly. "No matter if it is Celestia Oki or Celle Ran, her path will cross with Mr. Hiwatari's path again, and fate will carry out its duty until it reaches its final destiny."
End of Flashback
THE END
Ah, the story finally ended. It took so long to complete. I thought I was never going to finish this story. I've got reviews and e-mails saying that they found this story a bit confusing, so I'll just clear this up a little bit.
Kai's mom gave birth to baby girl a year after she gave birth to Kai. It was said that girls will bring bad luck into the family, thus Voltaire decided to give the baby girl away. However, he imprinted a scar of the symbol 'eternity' on her forearm for identification purposes.
Years later, the little girl (Celestia) grows up and enters the same high school as Kai. Not knowing that they're related, they went out and fell in love with each other. Until later on, Voltaire discovers the existence of Celestia; he hypnotized Celestia and turned her into Celle. Thus, the memories of Celestia were lost and she was no more.
5 years after that incident, Celle comes back to Japan as a singer. She meets Kai and falls in love with him, but he couldn't let go of Celestia, thus nothing came out of that relationship. It wasn't until the very end when Celle's memories were triggered and everything came back, she remembered everything about her life, and remembered that she was actually Celestia. Unfortunately, the truth of Kai and her being siblings were also revealed.
And that's where this story ends. The sequel should be up later on, which will pick up from where the story ends. And for those of you that cannot stand incest, I promise you, there will not be real incest in the story... and yes, that sounds weird and confusing. However, I promise you, everything will be cleared up at the end of the sequel.
And I want to thank everyone for reading and also reviewing. I hope you enjoyed this story and hopefully you'll also check out the sequel when it comes out.
