Escape the dark ~ Book 1

Chapter 47 Roses in the Flame

~Levin's POV~

Oh my Irene! It's Angel! I haven't seen her in weeks! She didn't want to talk to me... which is new... one of the people in the image came through the water, Angel grabbed one of their hands and I grabbed another, then we pulled them out. The person was a female in a black and red dress. Another person came through. This time Angel and the girl pulled them out. It was another female. They pulled her out of the water, and waited for the two others. "Angel... Why are you not talking to me?" I asked her once everyone was out of the water-portal-thingy. She looked at me stood up and walked off. "I have my reasons, Levin..." She said not turning around. "So you're just going to walk off, huh? Just like you left Phoenix Drop and never returned after the house got burnt. Just leaving me alone?" I said, a tone of annoyance and hurt in my voice. She stopped, turned around, and said, "Levin... As I said before... I have my reasons..." "WHAT REASONS!? LIKE LEAVING FOR GUARD TRAINING WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO BE THERE TO PROTECT US?! YOU WEREN'T THERE WHEN THE HOUSE WAS BURNING!" I yelled at her, standing up. What I didn't know was that she was very sensitive to bringing stuff like that up... "Levin... stop..." She said, looking down. "WHY!? FIRST YOU LEAVE THE FAMILY, THEN YOU DON'T TALK TO ME, AND FINALLY YOU ARE ACTING LIKE YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE!" I yelled at her. I never noticed the tears on her face... no one saw them... "LEVIN! I SAID STOP!" She yelled... she must have let out a burst of magicks cause I suddenly had a cut on my right cheek... Angel just stared at what she did... that's when I noticed the tears on her face... "Angel~Senpai?" I heard Nekoette ask. Angel looked at her hands then to me... she had a ton of fear in her eyes... then she sprinted off crying silently...

~Angel's POV~

I did the one thing I never wanted to do in my entire life... hurt Levin... I was still running away. When I got a safe distance away from Phoenix Drop, I stopped. I sat down by a nearby lake. "Angel~Senpai? Can you sing me another song?" I heard Nekoette~Tan ask from behind me, I could only nod. I couldn't tell everyone else was behind trees I couldn't sense their aura so I thought they weren't around.

Hear the night toll in my breath

The cold lights dance overhead

Here the lake stares with dark eyes

Trees are their lashes of ice

See the star's glare float upstream

Shedding its skin with dead leaves

Seems like the sky's falling up

The wind wraps itself with my lungs

The sea that we saw was a desert of snowfall

The children of frost marched into the deadly dawn

In their great awe they found an old seesaw

And as they got on, the season of dark had gone

Dream with the nomads of light

Their dogs and their gods are all blind

Sing as white pours from dark veins

Bless all the earth that it paints

The sea that we saw was a desert of snowfall

The children of frost marched into the deadly dawn

In their great awe they found an old seesaw
