A story about: Two childhood friends
Fiona Everly was a girl with an abrupt unsettling past ,for which she is thriving to find answers behind her parent's murder.
Ryle Foster , a mafia leader grew up in the beds of the ocean crosses paths with the...
Oh,it's Ryle. The Ryle from my childhood,the Ryle I saw 16 years ago and desperately hoped to never cross paths with him again.
Ever since my parents died , I had stopped showing expressions,emotions, reactions like normal human beings do. So even if I felt excited,sad, happy,shocked...they would all appear the same over my face. That's honestly a good thing because he wouldn't be able to notice that I recognised him immediately.
Ryle does not concern me anymore. Neither does anyone from Alice's past.
Fiona :"Yeah ,We've never been acquainted in the past" I replied
He seemed indifferent to this comment. I paused,and waited for him to react ,but he stood there like a rock
Fiona :"Why do you want me to work for you" I asked out of impatience
Ryle :"You seem reliable" I almost laughed, sarcastically.
Fiona :"Unfortunately,I'm not."
Fiona :"Anyways, I have to go. I don't have so much time to just dilly daily. Hope you find an employee for yourself soon"
With that ,I turned around from his face and started walking away towards my home.
I hoped to not get lost amidst the forest, because it's daytime...and the stars were not here ,to guide me home.The Ryle I saw today ,is no longer the Ryle I used to know. And I'm not necessarily sad about that.
"You just need to take care of my daughter. I have a working wife and she's currently away for work. I have my work too."
Oh he's living a happily married life. That's good to know, but somehow it made me feel ,slightly bitter. Not because he is married, but because no one in the world remembers me anymore.
Just as I buried Alice , a part of Ryle was buried too.
"You're forgetting that's none of my concern"
It's best to not get involved with him anymore. I no longer live for my sake. The only reason why I'm still alive is because I am seeking answers to why my parents had to die.
There's no other motive for my survival.Never was.
Ryle must've meant a lot to me previously. This sudden encounter with him somehow had a drastic impact on me. I could feel it. The familiar feeling of warmth , cold and grief.
I have always wondered ,why my parents chose to live in the countryside of a very secluded place. It wasn't a very safe place to live down in Wisperra.
After I killed Alice, I cut my hair and became thin.
Alice used to be chubby , and Fiona couldn't be like Alice.
I always thought Revenge is not the choice.
What revenge is an endless cycle of continued revenge. Your vengeance will only sow the seeds to further violence. What you're doing is senseless revenge and it's feeding a fruitless cycle of death. You must end this cycle, once and for all. I just want to seek answers I have no wish to seek vengeance I do not wish to light a spark of vengeance in another young individual because of me
Grief is something I'll never be tired of. It's the only friend I have.
It took me an hour to reach home , because I walk very fast. Its something I have always been naturally good at.
My home ,looked dull. Just like my life and I admired the dullness. Coco was sleeping when I got back home but he immediately sensed my presence and ran into my legs , meowing like he saw me after decades. I smiled , and I only smile around Coco.
The Fiona in me has always been obsessed with cats , to an unhealthy amount.
"Mreoowrr" Coco yelled at me ,in dissatisfaction "Aw baby I'm so sorry ,mommy was out to kill some monsters. Don't you think you should praise mommy instead?"
He immediately hopped into my lap and latched over it
I knew he wasn't gonna get up before a solid 9 hours.
He loves sleeping , just like me. "Choozz ,lemme take a bath first , alright? I also need to cook for you. Be a good boy till then" He has so many names at this point that he feels entirely sick of my obsession for him. I treat him like a god ,and he likes it.
I went to take a bath and replayed the events that took place this morning. The water droplets streamed down my neck to the scar down at the scar in the side of my belly.
It was huge,and still looked raw. I brushed my fingers around it , it didn't hurt.
This scar was the beginning of my encounter with Ryle ,20 years ago.
I searched for the soap which has already been perished by Coco. "Jeez...Not again the soap Coco" I sighed
Coco has always been a troublemaker. He destroys everything that he lays eyes upon.
I smelled awful from visiting the graveyard.
My clothes were luckily still on the rack , more like undergarments because it's a shirt back when I was in high school,so naturally it would turn into a crop top when I'm 28 and a shorts. I wore them and got out of the bathroom to fetch a soap out of my cabinet ,hoping that Coco wouldn't notice my secret den.
But, instead why did I run into a man I never wished to see again ?
Crazy, isn't it?
"Did you follow me?"
"You're Alice"
Here we go again.
Hellooo ! Don't worry Ryle is not some creep or pervert. And you'll end up liking both of the male leads :) ,they give off very green flag vibes. This is a reference picture of Fiona with coco
