A/N: I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING GONE FOR SO LONG! I really couldn't think of anything for Silver's past. But I'm back now, so please enjoy!
Also, this wasn't made clear, but the deceit the younger Rin was talking about was basically her taking current Rin's place. If you still don't understand, it's fine, it won't affect the story.
"He was a new kid in school. Everyone avoided him because of a scar that ran through his eye. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him a tour."
"What was his name?"
"Crimson, like the color. Anyway, he was really nice and we became good friends. One day, I asked him where he got the scar from and he looked kind of sad when he told me. He said that he did it himself."
"Why?"
"Be quiet and let me tell my story! Crimson's parents hated each other, but they never got divorced. Every day, they would argue and yell at each other. When that got old, they started taking their anger out on Crimson. It got to the point where he tried suicide."
"Did he succeed?"
"No! Otherwise he wouldn't be alive them, fool. He took a knife and tried to stab himself in the forehead, but his hands were shaky and he missed."
"And that's how he got the scar."
"Yes, that's right. After he told me that, he started crying. And he looked so sad and lonely, so I…I kissed him."
"You what!"
"I kissed him, okay!" If ghosts could blush, Silver would be bright red. "A few days after, we started dating. But then, another girl entered the school."
Rin raised her eyebrows. "I think I can see where this is going."
Silver took a deep breath. "So after that, Crimson was suddenly not with me as often as before. And then I found out that he was secretly dating the new girl." She scowled at the hourglass. "So, being an idiot, I went and did suicide. Never again will I fall for that stupid trap called love."
Rin rolled her eyes. "Okay, story time's over, can I go now?"
"Of course not! You think you can just waltz out of here? First, you have to pay a price. Nothing is free in this world!"
Rin looked around. "Well, um, I don't have anything with me to give you. Would you like my clothes?"
"Idiot! You have to pay with something that is really important to you. Why would I want your clothes anyway?"
"Fine then. You name the price."
"Usually people give time. That's what your younger self did, she gave me 8 years of sitting there."
"I don't have eight years! Remember, smart one? I have, what, 3 days until I'm buried alive."
"Then pay with a soul. Like you're brother."
"Len? He has nothing to do with this."
"Then is there someone else?"
Rin thought for a moment. "How about Oliver?"
"Oliver? You mean the little boy you hate? He's not an important person at all. May be if you add another person, but just him? No way!"
Rin tried to think of someone else who she cared about a little bit. "Oh, how about my parents!"
Silver glared at Rin. "Like I want some dead bodies."
Rin blinked. "Wait, wait, wait, my parents died? When? How?"
"In a car crash, a couple of years ago. Young Rin actually cried for them."
Rin's mid was racing. My parents are dead? What? Does that mean…No stop thinking about that, it's not important. Who's someone else I can give?
"Oh, Gumi!" She eyed Silver carefully and started acting. "I just met Gumi, but she's, like, my best friend in the world. But I've known her for only a little while, so I don't mind if she's gone."
Silver whipped out a contract from mid air. "Okay, that'll be fine. Just sign this contract and you'll be out of here." She slipped the paper through the glass. "May I ask something?"
"Hmm?" R-I-
"Do you really value your life so much that you'd give sacrifice two people just to live?"
-N K-A-
Rin dropped the pen. "What am I doing? How could I be so cruel?" Then she picked up the pen again and grinned at Silver like the Cheshire Cat. "Nope, but I'd rather live than die." G-A-M-I-
Silver shivered. Somehow, this girl was really scary.
Rin stopped for a second and thought Silver's question over, being serious this time. Did she really want to kill these two innocent people? Then she thought about Len waiting for her at home and smiled.
-N-E
A/N: Well, isn't Rin a bad person? Ugh, tons of dialogue in this chapter.
The real reason why I haven't updated is because most of the stories I've written were when I was in a not-so-happy mood. And I've had to really lower myself to that mood to write this chapter, and it still turned out a bit too cheerful. Plus, my laptop crashed and died. Sorry.
Thanks for reading!
