Take her Back

Prologue:

"Would you like to play with me?" isang mapanlinlang na tinig ang pumailanlang sa aking silid. Isang boses ng isang babaeng may taglay ng nakakapangilabot na aura na parang bitag na tiyak mong kahuhulugan.

"Ayoko."tipid at tiyak kong sagot sa imahe niya sa gintong salamin sa aking silid.

Imbis na malungkot tumawa pa ito. Sabagay, hindi siya magiging siya kung malulungkot ito. Iba siya sa lahat, ibang-iba ang katauhang taglay niya.

"Wala ka namang mapagpipilian, alam mo iyan. Hindi ba?" natatawa niyang pahayag.

Totoo ang kanyang sinabi, lahat ng nais niya ay nakukuha niya. Ngunit hindi ako papayag na maging tauhan sa kanyang laro. Ayoko.

"Bakit ka pa tatanggi kung alam mo na ang kahihinatnan sa huli? Bakit ka pa aayaw, kung alam mong mapapaglaro din kita?" may pagtataka niyang tanong.

"Because, you're the only one whose responsible for my sorrow and I will never give you the luxury of seeing me in pain." malamig at may kawalang emosyon kong pahayag.

Humalakhak lamang siya ngunit ang saya ng mapanlinlang niyang tawa ay hindi umaabot sa kanyang mga mata.

"Then give me your best shot, little dark soul. Find your destruction. Play my game. I would like to see you shatter." may nakakatakot na ngiti niyang sabi.

"No, give me your best shot because I will never be shattered. I am your little dark soul remember?" pilyo kong sagot.

Alam ko nang matatalo ako sa larong ito ngunit sisiguraduhin kung  hindi siya masisiyahan sa pagkabagsak ko.

Tinalikuran ko ang naturang salamin at nagtungo sa beranda. Mas mabuting pag-ukulan ng panahon ang pagtingin sa malayo kaysa sa isang napakatusong nilalang.

Because of the luminous moon, my  dark and dangerous ice world can be seen. Cold beeze floats in the air, it suppose to be felt by human, but unfortunately, I'm no human.

Suddenly, I saw a trespasser running  towards the wrong path. A girl with a seraphic face wearing a white dress with a red laces and a pair of glass shoes. Her curly dark long hair flying on the air catches my attention as it reveals her scent.

Damn, stupid human. Was she too naive to bait herself to my wrath? Was she too stupid to prey herself to the most deadliest predator?

A pang of hunger wakes my system, urges me to slaughter and consumate her pure soul.

The game has begun and I was defeated by my pure soul.

My destruction has come, my little pure soul has come.

What will I do; to fight my destiny or to let fate works?

—-

But being a stubborn creature I am, I fought.

And that's the most stupid decision I've made. I regret every piece of that decision.  A decision that leads to my aberration. I abhor myself, the gamemaster and the world, except Her.

And now, I suffer for being desolated to an unfathomable depth of pain.

But even a creature like me can hope, I have an alas. Being a cheater is not bad specialy for this kind of game. I have immunities. This game offers the players to have nine lives but due to my immortality, I am an exception to that rule.  Lucky me, I have still two chances as she still have two lives left.

Now, I am prepared for battle. A battle that I know I will never win but I will make sure that when I fall, I'll never be falling alone.

My greatest game plan is to drag my rival with me in the abyss of pain.

My best move is to make my little pure soul fall with me.

Definitely, I'll never win but I will make sure that she never will either.

If suffering in pain is the only way to be with her again. Then I will play again and again for the sole purpose of taking her back.

 ——-

Two different worlds will collide.

It was written on their palm because of so-called FATE.

One world for humans or pure souls located at the latitude of 90 degrees North and 60 degrees South of the Earth. A place near the equator.

One world for Aberrators or dark souls located at the residual part of the Earth.

The world of Aberrators are divided into two different Empires; the  Hiternos Empire and the Luternos Empire. The creatures living in Hiternos Empire are called High-Enders. The creatures living in Luternos Empire are called Low-Enders. There's no difference between the two types of Aberrators, except the fact that every High-Enders have an identical twin of a Low-Ender.

That's how the world revolves which only few creatures knew.

That system is the most untold reality that only a Player and a Piece have a right to know.

Players are those creatures blessed to play my game.

Pieces are those missing puzzle pieces that will take big part for the completion of the game.

The game is very simple. No rules. No directions. No mechanics. But a human has  only nine lives and an aberrator has only nine chances.

The loser will continue living desolated in the abyss of pain while the winner will have the luxury of death.

The million dollar question is what kind of game that they will play.

Dare to play my game?

Then suffer the luxury of feeling pain.

I will leave with a mission of answering this the million dollar question.

WHAT IS MY GAME?
