A Hidden Secret

Chapter VI

We hit grass. Yes, I have a headache now, no I did not die. My eyes flutter open. My vision is a blur, so I blink. Once my vision is focused, I see two male guards coming after me. The fall was hard/ I for once, don't feel like fighting. 

     I have Lizzy to thank for screaming. Her scream got us trapped and now her scream is going to save us. She has a high-pitched scream, which put me on alert and now I am awake to fight. With or without energy, there's no giving up.

     As they bring handcuffs, I kick one of them in the crotch. He's a goner, for now. The poor guy is on the floor screaming as if he was being burned alive. What a weak one. I roll over so that the other guy won't have a chance to handcuff me. I kick him behind the knees. His leg bends and he goes onto his knees. I stand up behind him, grab his hand and bring it as far back as I can. 

- "Who sent you here?"

- "I-- argh, no one. Ow, let go!"

     I bring his hand back further and put one finger between his shoulder blades. His back arches in pain.

- "I can make this even more painful or less. All depends on you. Now, let me say this again. Who. Sent. You. To. Me?"

-" B-Blackheart."

- "Black Heart?"

- "Yes, Blackheart."

- "Interesting. Now, what's their real name? Black Heart is no real name."

- "She won't---"

- "She? Hm..... She won't what?"

- "She won't let us know her real name."

- "Smart girl."

     He nods. He is at more comfort but still in pain. He deserves both, no? I let him stand. 'Damn, he is tall.' I already handcuffed him, so I don't worry. And on top of that, I gained myself a lovely kitchen knife and a revolver. Now to save Ange;'s and Lizzy's butt. 

     I forced the guy to lead me to them obediantly. Smart man, too. I doubt he can pull any tricks, least not on me. I ask him for all the information he has and I "promise" to let him live. He tells me all, thankfully. 'Good night, forever.' I end his life visciously. He deserved no mercy, nor did he deserve to die with a smile.

     Thank God I know this place by heart in and out. I can search the place easily. First I look for the girl and Angel. The car is still there, and the door is now open. I go inside, the revolver inside the coat I'm using. I'm also wearing the bullet-proof vest the guard I killed wore. My fingers are wrapped around the knife's handle, ready to attack anyone who decides to fight. 

     'Angel, scream for me. Please. A small yelp. I don't care. As long as I can hear it.'I hear a person stumbling on a table or something. I know where it came from so I sprint to their. It wan't Angel screaming, but it tells me their's movement in the house. I'm just hoping it's either Angel or Lizzy. 

     I arrive to see Angel knocked out. I hear Lizzy's voice screaming.

- "Get out! Arianna. Save yourself! It's a trap, leave!"

    She warned me too late. A knife flies and rips only the coat. It also runs on my skin. So my opponent has bad aiming skills, that's good, for me, not her. I observe my opponent from what I can in the dark. She is no match in strenght, but she has wit. This will be an interesting battle. 

     I let her approach me first. I will never make the first move. The girl grabs the big shards of the broken pot and uses them as knives. I, of course, dodge them. 

     I strike. My knife traces her cheekbone, deeply cutting it. 'Beautiful. She was ugly before. Now, she is the definition of cute. Lets add more cute, shall we?' I keep slashing her. By now she is covered with streaks of blood. And yes, she is amazingly beautiful. Oh, I created a masterpiece. Such beauty indeed.

     My eyes are dazed at her body. Her stomach has four cuts, her black bra is ripped, but it is bulletproof so that was hard to rip. Her face has one streak cut, the first one. Her right leg has four big slices, and two smaller as for her left leg, she has one cut going across horizontally. My mind is hypnotized by my work, who is still surprizingly alive. Next thing I know, I hear Lizzy scream out something, but I couldn't make out what she says, until I see some girl lunging at me.

                                                    *********************************

     "All that I fought for. Everything I have accomplished. Gone. Hey look. My old friends. We were so happy together. We had fun, so much fun. M-my parents. Oh God, I miss them so much. I left them. Why? I shouldn't have left them. I shou--- oh, oh God. The day I first met Rasonia. She was also my first kill, and my best friend. Why am I seeing all these memories? Shit. Am I dying? No. I still have more to li--- YAKSHA! Come back. Yaksha. Please. Come back. I still want to create chaos and love with you. I better not see the---- too late. Everything. Replaying. My little prank with Yaksha. SO many people died. All because of me. y friend that survived hate me now. Vetani, it was because of her. If she didn't keep me busy, I would've been there on time to stop the fire. I saw it all. Too much gas was poured and led to the main boiler. It all explode. Creating an even bigger fire. A simple prank. I just wanted to show them I was able to control fire by pouring gasoline on specific areas. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Damn. My life became crappy after that. So sad, I didn't use drugs yet my life was piece of shit. Everything went downhill. Maybe it's better that I die now. This is a good thing.'

                                                     *********************************

- "Arianna!"

- "Isabelle!"

     I hear two voices. A girl and a boy. 'So I didn't die.' I want to scream at Angel for calling me Isabelle, and now Elizabeth is questioning him.

- "Ok! But you haven't answered my question: Why did you call her Isabelle?"

- "A damn childhood memory! How many times do I have to fucking tell you?"

- "Ok! Ok! Fine."

     'Nice cover, Angel. Next time it slips, i am going to kill you. I should be killing you right now either way. I hope you prove yourself worthy of life. I love you, but I won't moarn over killing you.' 

- "Arianna, are you ok? I'm sorry for what I said."

     I groan in response, still a bit weak from the attack. I seem to always be the one getting hurt. Why me? I am still confused. The memories I saw remain on my mind. They won't leave me. My head hurts. I keep groaning. 

- Shut it, Angel! Do you not see Arianna is hurt?"

- "Lizzy, you don't un---- forget it. It's no use. She won't let me nor do you have the capability to withstand our background."

     I let out a moan. He is teasing me. I can see it in his eyes. I force out words.

- "Angel. Stop."

     He smirks, his dimple being shown. He still loves me. Doesn't he? I let out a sigh knowing I can't and don't want to be with him.
