You & I

Ch.10

-X-

"So, in this historical movie; it requires more drama. I need you, Sting, to look like you want Minerva to stay with you. To make her love you and not leave you. Minerva, I need you to cry a bit more. More drama. I'm pretty sure you've read the book? 'Samurai's Forbidden Love'?, right?" The director, Ryan, said. (I didn't know what else to name the book. Oh! Haha! NEW BOOK IDEA!)

"No." Minerva and Sting said simultaneously. 

"Well, here." Ryan handed both of them a hard-covered book. With the title 'Samurai's Forbidden Love' on it. 

'By Lumen Histoire..' Sting thought. Reading the cover. 'I've read many of these author's books, but this one is unknown to me..'

"When you guys are free; I want you two to read the book and try to finish it soon. NOW, LET'S START!" Ryan exclaimed.

While Sting waited for his turn to show up; he started reading the book.

Chapter 1: Banishment

A blonde man walked along the path. His blood-stained sword in hand. Ready to slice anything in his way. His dull eyes looked at the town before him. He continued his way; but stopped at a bar. As soon as he came in, he received many glares from the people inside. 

"Satsujin..," A buff man got up. "GET OUT, YOU MURDERER!" He yelled. Lunging his fist at the lonely samurai. The samurai could've slashed the buff man in a second--But, no-- he let himself be punched. The samurai flew backwards. "NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!" The large man exclaimed. Turning his back. The samurai just looked up, and saw a blonde maiden, a smile on her face. It looked so warm and welcoming. She helped him up; despite he was punched and he had blood and a sword.

Sting's brows creased. 'Was there no blonde to play the part? Was there nobody better?' Though, what he found intriguing was that the samurai and the maiden both had blonde hair. Isn't the usual hair color black? They are in historical Fiore. They didn't know how to dye hair yet. 

"Mr. Eucliffe, you're up." Dobengal whispered. Making Sting snap out of his thoughts. Sting shut his book close, and proceeded to the set. 

"Wait, Lucielle!" Sting exclaimed. In the character of Satsujin. The samurai. AKA main character.

"Satsujin! Please! Stop it!" Minerva, in the character of Lucielle, exclaimed. Tears spilling from her eyes. "Just..please! Let me be!" She exclaimed. Running off. 

"CUT!" Ryan exclaimed. "Wonderful! That'll be all for today. Minerva and Sting; Good job. Don't forget to read the book!" He said.

"Wait!" Sting ran up to the director. "How come in the book the maiden has blonde hair, but in the movie black?"

"The author didn't want a blonde actress for a reason. If she would let us have a blonde play the role, we would've gotten Jenny," Ryan paused for a second. "Oh! That reminds me; the author is planning to come by and see how the movie is going. I'm very sure the day after tomorrow." The director said. 

"Really?! I'll definitely be there!" Sting said, running off to change. He's never saw how Lumen Histoire looked like. The author never revealed her/his face. Making it somewhat mysterious. But the author said that he/she had a reason. That's why no one knows if it's a female or male author. 

Sting took off the kimono, and put his white undershirt; baby blue blouse, folding it to his forearms; his jeans; lastly, his chucks. He grabbed his leather jacket and put it on, as well as his pair of sunglasses.
