Diary of a Villainess

After the rain

As I was enjoying the show my heart suddenly started feeling tight. What's wrong? Did I get food poisoning? Even Keria seemed to flicker around me. Maybe I should finish this right now. And so I did. "Sorry you guys, but you did a bad job entertaining me so I need to cut off your heads." Was my last sentence inside that carriage before chopping off the royals' heads. I leave and take a rest near a river. I need some water. Is there something written about this tightness in my heart inside the diary? I take a look and reread the chapters in the beginning. Again and again. It seems that some chapters have turned into the original even though I changed the story? For example the one with Tristan. But this can't be. I definitly made sure he is okay. I get the feeling I should come back as soon as possible, so I decide to leave.

Miya was standing in front of the cherry blossom tree. She knew that the blonde was up to something but to think he is a traitor? Would he really be that stupid? What's even more, Roxanne is close to him. Does she know about it? This knowledge might put her in danger. The supreme killer needs to make sure that this Alice girl does not involve Helion. That would not only threaten Miya's goal but also kill the daughter of her former queen. After all, she has come to like Roxy. She is a loyal one. A Helion would never let her friend down. It won't take long. Roxanne is on her way.

The sun has already set when I enter the barrier and make my way to the chambers. As expected my bracelet has turned into a red color. The ache in my heart does not go away though... I should tell master that I am back. As I go towards the center I can smell blood and dust in the air. What happened while I was gone? I see Alice sitting near the training grounds. Maybe she knows something. I ask her and get a response that almost freaks me out: "Your friend was imprisoned. He was a traitor. He is going to be executed." What the hell? Tristan? This can't be. This is probably a misunderstanding. He decided to wait for my help. He wouldn't do shit on his own. What's more, he wouldn't get caught. He is too smart for that. I leave, feeling like I'm in trance while getting faster and closer to the castle. I can get him out of there, right? I can kill the guards. I will save him. "Don't rush it." I hear a familiar female voice behind my back. "His execution will be in a few hours. Once the light is gone. I can take you to him." I follow Miya closely as she approaches the guards in front of the imprisonment cells. The castle is deadly silent right now. She leads me down the stairs towards a cell. Miya orders the guards to leave as I come closer to the metal rods. There he is. Both of his hands chained to the wall, blood dripping from his exposed chest. Looks like he got tortured. "Tristan." I whisper. He looks up to me, his green eyes looking into mine. "What's up princess? I didn't want you to see me like this. Anyway how was your mission?" I almost shout the words towards him: "How could you worry about someone else now? Look at you! They want to kill you!" This god damn egoist. How could he get caught and risk leaving me alone? I hear his chuckle. "What about it? I knew this had to happen one day. Besides. I accomplished my goal." So he killed Ean. But at what cost? I take out the enhanced jewelry I bought and transfer i'ts magic towards Tristan. "This will protect you from usual injuries. I will get you out of here for sure." I don't care that Miya is listening. If she goes against me, I will fight. I need to save Tris. "Princess, you sound so desperate. Remember. Fate is on my side." I don't need his cool quotes. Fate will not save him from endless pain. "Let's leave now! I will tear down this castle and you can escape through the hole in the barrier." I tell him. There is no answer. Tristan smiles. But not at me. At something behind me. Everything goes black as Miya knocks me out with a hit on my neck. "Thank you." Tristan whispers. Miya nods and leaves the cell. She can't let Roxy do such a suicidal thing yet. She needs her alive.

I wake up in a different environment. The smell of cherry blossom and rain puts me in a comfortable state. Tris. I need to get him. It's not to late yet. I rush outside only to realize that I don't have any idea how to get to the castle from here. Suddenly the supreme killer grabs my hand. "Don't go." she simply orders without letting go. I fight back with pathetic attacks that seem to not even bother her as I start crying out of desperation. I scream through my tears, that she should let me go but she doesn't. "If you can't even beat me... how will you beat Evia and hundreds of guards? You will go down with him. All your efforts will be in vain. You're still too weak." Her words hit me with realization as I finally stop my movement and let the tears run out. I can't save my only friend because I am weak. The rain drains my hair and I fall on my knees. Miya watches me silently as a bell rings twice. The execution is complete. So this is sadness. This is what it means to care for someone. This is what it means to have happiness. Fate took it away from me. Just like fate always takes everything from me. I am not meant to be happy, it seems. "Highest killer, I have a request." I say as I wipe my face. "Help me get stronger. train me to get on your level and even further. I'll do anything in exchange." My voice got steady again. The brown eyed woman looks at me as she starts smirking and reaches out her hand for me to grab it. "I will accept your request, regular killer."

Now that I think back on those times over a thousand years ago, I get nostalgic. I remember how I was promoted to a progressive killer the day afterwards and got a larger chamber with my roommates. I was training with Miya after I completed my tasks and missions and slowly got to know my demonic magic. Miya killed Alice as she was the one who snitched. I found out later. I was rising through the rankings and placed first in the tasks once again. My bracelet turned purple and I was ready to receive another promotion after half a year. That was when I met him. Ruby red eyes that I will never forget in my life. Maybe I should have stopped fighting against the world...
