Why is it that every time I come close to love, it slips right through my fingers? - Me

Chapter 22

I was put on a gurney and rolled to the infirmary. What people didn't know was that they were about to die.

"Hurry, undress her!" EW! There are pedophiles here?! That is just WRONG!

My chest starts glowing and all the flames start flowing out.

"W-What's going on?!"

"S-She! She was experimented ! She's the girl who disappeared from the Estraneo Lab thirteen years ago!"

"Shut… SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" I scream, tears streaming down my face from the pain. The flames finish escaping and form into a sphere above my head. I just stare at it as if deciding what to do with it.

"Nobody move… That sphere holds all the flames combined and can explode if any contact with it is made…" Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

Lacie-chan?

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Why can't everyone just shut up.

I stare at the sphere before opening my mouth to say something.

"Kill them." The sphere moved, as if turning to me. "Kill everyone in this room. Burn them to a crisp. They're going to try to take you away from me."

The sphere turned every color of the flames it had before putting a bubble around me and exploding. Everyone in the room screamed. Blood flew everywhere. I stared at the ceiling as everyone around me was dying. I didn't care who they were, they are not to be alive after this situation. Then silence entered the room and I just lie there. The door opened with a BAM on the wall. The smoke cleared rather quickly as the bubble around me shrunk and entered my mark. I suddenly felt as light as a feather. Like an elephant danced off my shoulders.

I turned my head to the side to stare at the person at the door.

"Lace-chan!" Akira yelled, tears down his face. He ran over to me, avoiding all the bodies in the process, before reaching me. "Are you okay?! Please tell me you're okay…" His tears started hitting my face. I just stared at him. He called me Lace-chan...

"Akira…-kun…" I reached(more like forced) my hand up to cup his cheek. "It no longer hurts. Do not worry. Please take me to my room then send Leonardo Lippi up with my dinner. I am not feeling well." I explained. He just nodded before picking me up bridal style and exiting the room. People were running over after hearing the explosion. Akira kicked the door closed behind him. Byakuran walked up to us frowning.

"What happened, Lacie-tan?"

"I would get that room cleaned up if I were you before the smell of corpses sticks," Akira says with a scowl on his face. "I'm taking Lace-chan to her room as requested. She's not feeling well. She also requested that Leonardo Lippi brings her dinner up since I shall be staying with her."

"I see… How did they die?" Byautan asked smirking.

"That is my fault Byakutan, I said that I would not let anyone touch me and when they yelled to undress me I got very angry."

"Hmmm~ Alright then. I will send my attendant up with dinner at eight-sharp."

"Thank you, Byakuran-sama." He turned around and started walking me to my room which I still haven't seen.

On our way there I got bored until I looked at Akira. I never really paid attention to him much in the past since I was so focused on keeping the story in check. I never really noticed how… attractive Akira is.

He had silver hair and bright blue big eyes that somehow narrowed over the years so they seem more half-lidded. He was strong and muscular but not completely buff. In all the years I've been with him, he's never once won against me in a spar. But I'm beginning to question if I really deserve Akira.

He's was always trying to help me and be there for me and I just pushed him away every time. I still do.

Not this time.

"Akira…" I broke the silence and the trance I was in as Akira set me down. I didn't even notice that we had entered my current room. "…do you hate me."

"W-what?" He asked as if he expected me to tell him to leave.

"Do you hate me?" I repeated, my eyes started closing from exhaustion.

"Lace-chan…" He smiled at me, the first real smile since the Varia Arc(that's a story for another time). "I could never hate you."

"Why is that, Akira? I've always pushed you away and yet you were always there anyways…" I started falling asleep. I really did fall asleep before I got a reply. But his presence was still there, I could feel him there, smiling. After a while, I guess he thought I was asleep(which I am), his reply echoed through my dream world.

"Because, Lace-chan, I love you."

That's when my dream-self started crying. Actually, we all started crying; the three of us.

Me; Lacie.

My dream-self.

The past me; Madeline.

Why? Because we have never realized how much Akira really cared for us. Or anybody else for that matter.

We were loved. People actually cared.

And one of them are going to die in a month.

By mine and Yuni's hands.

AAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDD that's a wrap! If anyone can guess the ending of the story then I shall record a video of my friend at a local walmart in my footsie-jammies(she loves wearing it, idk why.-.) dancing to PoPiPo(by Hatsune Miku) while munching on pocky. Mwahahaha. And post it on youtube then send you a link to it :b

BUT ONLY IF YOU GUESS CORRECTLY!

Anyways, I forgot to tell you last chapter but I haven't been updating as fast lately cause…well…I've been crying every time I get home from school(four more days and summer vacation bitches!) cause when we got back from Texas everything was fine. But on Monday…my(now ex)boyfriend broke up with me… THROUGH A FUCKING TEXT!

Literally his words(THROUGH A TEX!): "Hey… Listen I'm sorry I'm doing this but I can't do this relationship anymore. It isn't the same as it was before. It's weird, ya know. I'm sorry but I can't be in a relationship with you anymore."

Then there was the classic—: "I'm sorry. It's really nothing against you it was me."

Anyways! Reviews! :D

Angelic Fluffle – Haha, I loved it. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge(very nice hotel) and let me just say… the food is AMAZING! But anyways, it was like this water park there too, but I've never really been a big fan of pools(I always get molested or violated in some sort of way). AND… my (ex)boyfriend was there too(band trip, he plays saxophone) and even helped me in the Lazy River and stayed with me. That night he said "I love you" to me, three days later he tells me he can't be in a relationship with me anymore. Dlkjfasndfaksdnf. Sorry, I just put out my frustration on you… :c

RainyAme – Troll JEGUS! DX It was.. *twitch* read review above you, it explains my trip*twitch twitch*

pinkus-pyon – Why, thank you very much :3

Anyways, I'm on my mother's laptop and with my bro and sis cause I'm scared the lights will go out again. Right now we're on Tornado Watch/Warning so we're on the lookout for sirens. But I'm freaking out anyways because I have trauma of thunder storms.

I'm hungry. I'm going to go get some food.

Cya soon guys c:
