/FILE OPEN...SOMEONE NEW/
Yeah. I'll admit, that day when I saw Reina crying and how she loved me I knew I was in trouble. The AIDA infection, the PKer incident, and my unsheathing of my weapons were all inevitable. There was no way for me to escape it. Reina was suppose to witness and expirience those events just as much as I was supposed to. Now, today, March 19th, of 20XX, I haven't logged into 'THE WORLD R:2' for a week. What has happened, I don't know and I don't want to know, but, because I witnessed the destruction of mine and Kite's TWILIGHT bracelets, the incarnation of AIDA and TRI-EDGE. I was cursed to drag out this life. Today, though, because I know what could happen if I entered the game I decided to go out on a 'date'(more like a dinner-on-Felicia-night) I'm going to enjoy this night and tomorrow...I'll log in.
Saturday- 8:00p.m. Yukita's Romero
"This is real good, thank you, Felicia." I compliment, stuffing my face with a superb riceball
"You're welcome, Lan." she replies back, eating her riceball
"What do you want to talk about?" I ask, trying to spark a conversation
She thinks for a second before answering,
"Lan, who's Helba?"
I stop eating and just stare at her with an emotionless grin
"Um...Helba?" I try to get out
"Yeah, Helba, who is she? you said she was just a char on that game, 'THE WORLD' but yet, you talk about her constantly
"Hmmm? I talk about her? constantly?"
"Yes. I've talked to a few of your friends who also play and they said that you are obsessed with her, why?"
"I don't know." I tried to lie my way out of this dilemma, but I saw it wasn't working
"Lan, or REAPER,"
"How'd you know my name?" I shout
"I have a secret to tell you, Lan. You ready?"
"...sure." I lied, swallowing what I had in my mouth and setting my chop sticks down on the table
"Lan. I don't know how to explain this clearly but, when your girlfriend, Shay, went into a coma. That was my doing, I'm sorry." she told meloncholingly
"Your doing? what do you mean?" now interested
"Before she appeared before you, she came to me and asked me to help her,"
FLASHBACK
"Felicia!"
"Hmm? hello, Shay, what's up?"
"Felicia, I need your help with something."
"Sure. What's wrong?"
"Lan, or on that game, 'THE WORLD' REAPER, has been acting weird and I'm worried for him, what should I DO? what would YOU do?"
"What should YOU do? I'll tell you only one thing, Shay. If you care for him that much, then follow what YOUR heart tells you to, okay? me on the other hand, I wouldn't get into any of his problems--not to be mean and offensive, okay? but he's a smart guy and he'll find a way out of whatever mess he's in."
"Thanks, Felicia, I know what I should do now, thank you."
"No prob, Shay. Also, one more thing,"
"What?"
"Think of the consequences that will be present."
END FLASHBACK
"You really told her that?"
"Yes, Lan, I did. I'm really sorry she came to help you, but if I were in love, I would go with what my heart told me to. In Shay's case, her heart told her to help you and she did, not caring for what the consequences would be."
"Thanks, Felicia, for telling me this." I reply, holding back my tears
"Your bill." the waitress says, laying down a piece of paper
"I've got this--"
"No no, Felicia, I'll pay. After all, you helped me out in making my decision." I spoke, pulling out the bill's cost
'Hmm, Lan, you always were like that. Making decisions to clear up any problems that were present. I hope, for both our sakes, you don't make the wrong one.'
---Lan's and Felicia's dorm---
"Good-night, Lan." Felicia tiredly speaks, climbing up onto her bunk and quickly falling asleep
"Yeah. Good-night, Felicia." I reply,
'I hope nothing else has happened while I was off.' I pray before logging onto 'THE WORLD'
MAC ANU- CHAOS GATE
"Hm. Everything is the same. No monsters, no AIDA, no turmoil."
"REAPER!"
"Reina?"
"About time you showed up."
'Wow. She sounds a little pissed off with me showing up. Wonder what's got to her now?' I think to myself, just staring at her; ignoring her pointless lecture
"Did you hear me?" she breaks in
"Yeah, I heard you Reina, loud and clear." I lied yet again(I really SHOULD stop lying constantly like this 'laughs')
"So has anything been amiss lately?" I ask(hoping to change the subject)
"No. After the attack in town, nothing else has been happening. Frankly, i glad to know this." she replies in a better mood now
"Really? wow."
'Something just isn't right.' I think
"Come on, Reaper. Lets go have some fun, okay?" she suggests, taking hold my hand in hers and trying to drag me back to the chaos gate(since i was at the door to head outside)
"Sure," I answer
'What could possibly go wrong?' I wonder, and that is when things started to fall apart...
