bL'ack and L'ight Chapter 1

He was there. Standing at our front house with his flowers. I open the door, I saw him smile, my heart smiled too, but sadly, those flowers aren’t for me.

“Hello!” He waved at me.

“I’ll go and call my sister. Please come in and wait for a while.” I make a smile, though it was fake. My heart sank. I always like him. I always do, but, my sister loves him, and he loves her, they always do. I just watch them. Always.

My sister is always so beautiful, so bright, like sunshine to everyone. So much cuter than me, much more maiden. Me, a loser, cheap stylist girl with a T-shirt and faded jeans.

The guy’s name is Fyrian. It means fire which really suites him. He was like fire when you feel cold, because he makes you feel warm. He was like fire, so fierce and strong, powerful than any other. His eyes are burning with passion, very determined on everything he does. He was like fire to me, giving me light and warmth, and pain because he loves my sister. My sister. That’s why I could only watch them and cheer them. Only.

“Freosan! Fyrian is here, waiting.” I called to my sister. She was so beautiful and fashionable, with curly long hair which really suites her. I know it is awkward to praise your sister, but we have opposite attitude, and the praise is just rightful to her. Freosan, my sister’s name. It means frost, definitely opposite from fire though they start with the first letter, F. She was maybe too cold, but she melts whenever Fyrian is around. She was cold to others but not to someone.

As they met, I could see their romantic feelings with each other. The love in their eyes, and I know, my eyes and my sisters eyes are very different. I always make myself think, my eyes says “like”, my sister’s says “love”. Maybe it is, maybe I should.

I walk back to my room but Fyrian called me. He handed me chocolates that I thought they were suppose to be for my sister, but, I realized it was really for me. My sister’s was in that perfectly wrapped box, mine is on a clear plastic. He didn’t say anything but just smile like he was saying I would be glad if you accept them.

“Thank you.” I said bowing to him as a sign of recognition. It has been my habit since I’ve come to a school where you greet by bowing your head. That’s all I could say, nothing else. I walk back to my room and eat all the chocolates, stuffed my stomach with everything else! I lied down on my bed, stare at the ceiling. I could think nothing. Nothing but him. Damn Fyrian.

Then, there was a loud noise. BANG! I’m surprised! What could it be? It was like gunfire. It was from the living room. I rushed to know what was going on. I saw Fyrian and Frost ducked down and the glass window broken. It was clear; someone tries to kill any of them.

“Hide!” He told me and I did. I hide on the back of the cabinet. I know it would be unsafe to hide here but there is nothing I could hide from. The cabinet is directly proportional to the window which means if anybody tries to shoot again, the cabinet would block it or the shoot could get across.

BANG!

Another shocking loud noise striking the window glass again. Pieces of glass shattered on the floor but the noise wasn’t a gunfire, I suppose it was a stone. I crouch to be with them because I’m really scared and I don’t want to be alone. I never want to be alone. I almost got hurt myself by the shattered glass but it’s okay, it’s just a cut, not a shot.

“No. No. You’re safer there.” Fyrian said. It was the first time I saw his face like that. I could see clearly in his eyes, the fear. I never thought that I would be able to see this side of him. It was full of fear, misery and... why could I sense, regret?

"Please... Please..." I cried... Those are the only words which I could utter. My hands are shaking, and for the first time in my life, I'm feeling death. I am trembling, I don't know what to do. I could only wait for another loud shot.

But instead of a "bang", I hear a knock. It was from our door. And after that, it was forced open. Suddenly, Fyrian stood up with clenched fist and there is pain. This is my first time to see a man crying.

The door opens and my eyes are wide open to see such a person. Though I could only see silhouette, I could tell that this man, if you could actually define him as a man, was very huge! He was twice the size of those normal wrestlers!

"Leave us alone. Leave her alone." Fyrian said, and then he looks at me...

I was shocked. What is happening now?
