Forgotten Shores

2.

I had no other option but to go with him.

Once again with the awkwardness.

Something tells me he knows I had a crush on him and that makes things even worse.

"It's weird right... How everything happened to us, " he tells.

"What? " I questioned as it seemed so sudden

"You know it better than I do..."

His words cut me off. So he does know.

"The two of us?" I asked.

"Yea, that no one else knows. We're the only two who actually have a name," He said.

"What?" I asked again.

"You know Mardon is a name he made up just today." He went on and I continue to listen.

And then I understood. Everything slowly. They had nicknames, to think of.

"So Alice-" but before I could complete

"-is Alex" he countered.

Everything had already fallen apart and then this happens.

I couldn't control those tears. They were the only things that could have had some meaning in this world.

But what would he think of me....

"I've gotten over him" I tell myself again.

But there's a part of me that clings on to the past and I can't deny it.

"You know I broke apart when I got to know all this. Took me about six hours to actually get a bit of me to believe," He said.

"Ariel you're very strong" 

"Can I ask you something" I directly cut off the topic.

"What?" he said.

"Ariel. You know my name." I said. I knew this question would have killed me if it weren't his eyes.

"Yea. You're the smart girl. Everyone knows that you're Ms. Perfect." he said.

Okay... Things aren't going good. I don't know wanna more.

We walk for quite a long time when ~

There's a masked person in front of us.

"That's a human. I believe. Right?" I ask.

He just nods and walks toward that figure.

"Don't walk closer," the voice comes from the figure.

And we stop.

"You're related to all this! Aren't you?!" he shouts at the figure demanding an answer.

"Wiping off the population. Um no. But getting ourselves people who can give us answers. Yes."

She tells.

We just listen.

"I foresee a bloodbath. Survive and you'll know why you're here," she tells.

"But?" we both ask the same time.

"A hint. Ummm okay."

"Foes aren't necessarily from the enemy side''

"What?" we ask again.

"Im Madame Caesy. Pleased to welcome you to my arena. See how far you get."

And she disappears.

"What did she mean?" I ask myself but James thinks it might be for him and he shakes his head.

~SCREAMS~

"What was that?!" James asks.

"Alice. ALICE. ALICE." I KEEP SHOUTING AND RUN TOWARDS THAT PLACE.

  ALICE. NO ALEX. ALICE. ALEX.Oh My God. JUST DON'T DIE. DON'T DIE PLEASE. PLEASE.
