S H A T T E R E D [WILL BE DELETED]

Chapter III

Chemme POV

"whoaaaa!!" I yelp as I dodge a piece of big potato. I kept running around the room, trying to get rid Nero whom chasing me.

Somewhere in the room, I could hear Destiny's now mischievous voice: "FOOD FIGHT!!"

- Later in Morning -

I hung my head down—I feel that my sneakers' suddenly very interesting—like I was a 5 year old kid being scolded by her parent. Which was exactly what happened now.

I took a small glance at my left side where Father sat highly with all of his mighty, thought he aren't arrogant like someone.

I didn't need to take a look at the others as I already know what'll they do. Nero's probably hung his head down, but he doesn't feel regret or sorry—all of us are. Aeras' glancing at us, trying to make any voiceless conversation wherever Father isn't saw. Nekros' maybe just smirk triumphantly. Destiny will bit her lips, trying to cover her smile.

I know every single bit of them. I mean, we're always together for the past ten hundred years. I know each of them knows about others' as great as they know about themselves.

We're practically more closer than any siblings' relationship, or any twins' line. We love others more than anything—we'll save them even if we have to sacrifice ourselves. We understand each others' feeling. We knows every inches about others' past. We know others' condition very well.

I don't think our ties' a perk of being Archangel or being Father's child. Yes, maybe being both make us feel like siblings, but our ties' more than that. I think it's because everything we'd through together, for over ten hundred years.

Time is precious. Some may aren't think of that, but it is indeed very precious. Every seconds will gave you another image. Every minutes will teaches you a lesson. Every hours will make another moments. And every day will be the reminder that you're still alive.

Right now, Father's said, "do someone, perhaps, want to said something?"

Aeras cleared his throat. "uhh.. where were you going yesterday, father? There's an enemy attack"

My head perked up, interest. Although Father had told Nero and I about he's going, he doesn't told us where to.

Father couldn't said anything, because right then the double door opened softly, revealing a form. Nero yelped happily and quickly hug her.

Okay, let me explained here. Nero's a prince of Universe, heir of Chaos. He has this prophecy saying that the prince's the one whom the queen of creature's soulmate. No, not like love soulmate, but more like bestfriend soulmate, pretty much like us Archangels.

Skia isn't human either. She's a horse. Skia's the queen of every type animals. She's a beautiful.. creature (call her horse, and you'll find yourself hit by her horn). Her body's covered by icy blue of fur, matches with Nero's. She has a unicorn snowy white horn, with a pair of icy blue wing. Her eyes' icy blue, and if she glares, it'll make you shivered.

She may looked beautiful, but watch out. You wouldn't want her to be your enemy. Let's say the last person.. didn't end well. She won't talk to anyone besides Nero, not even Chaos. And she's very protective to him. You hurt Nero, and you'll hurt back by both Nero and Skia.

Nero and Skia—as I already say—is a soulmate. That's also meant when you hurt one of them, others would get the exact wound in the exact place—though their wound's abnormally healed fast (Like Archangels' do). They also feels each others' feeling.

Short story: the two are inseparable.

Like, really inseparable. They're always eat together. sleep together. do everything together. Skia even can only healed Nero's wound, although Nero can healed anyone he want to, his power much more effective if he uses that to Skia.

I always envied them. I want a person who is always there 24/7 for me. Of course, the Archangels does, but sometimes we've to separated because our mission. But I know Nero deserves her more than anyone. Nero'd suffered for more than ten thousand years, he needs someone who's always there and feel the same pain as he is.

We—father, Nekros, Destiny, Aeras, and I—care very much for him. We feels the same pain, though not as great as his. But he always make a wall for us. He doesn't let anyone to go more deeper, besides Skia.

They looked eyes. I knew it's meant they're in telepathy.

Nero's expression changes. First he cringed, and Skia huff. Then Nero laughed nervously while Skia glared. After that, Nero's sigh and hid his face in Skia's neck, making Skia's expression softer.

Nero smile, and if a horse can smile, I swear I just saw it. They're walk(trotted) together to Nero's chair where he sat there and Skia sat beside him.

"Skia, welcome back" Father greeted, and get a nodded for his answered.

"so, father, where were you yesterday?" Nekros asked, eager to heard his answer.

"and no lying, we'll know" I added.

Father sigh, "I was.. visit the planet"

"and what is this 'the planet'?" Nero asked curiously.

"it's.." he hesitated before finally saying, "Earth"

My breath immediately stopped. My throat lumped.

Earth.

That one word's enough to reminded me of everything. I hate the planet. It'll be a better one if they weren't the people who live there. I have a beautiful, normal life, before that's happening.

no.

I shook my head, trying to kick the memory with all of my strength. The memory I'll never forget.. I know, I'll always being haunted by my own memories. But I can do nothing.

Once, father has asked if we want the memory to be deleted, but we firmly denied. We may hate the memories, we may feared the memories, but we'll never want to forget.

The memories reminded us of how happy and peace we are, before they ruined everything. It reminded us, to not believe so easily. It reminded us, how much pain they're give to us.

Destiny's chin trembling. She said in difficulty, small voice, "w-why are you need to visit the Earth, father?"

Father gave us all a sympathetic look, "I was investigating my suspicion. and I'm afraid my suspicion's became true"

"father..?"

"I'm afraid that.. you all have to go back.. to Earth" he finished.

"I'm sorry!?" Aeras shouted in rage. The winds immediately started making a tornado, responded to it master.

"Aeras, calm down" Nero said in a calm tone. Aeras immediately sit down, with the wind became normal. Nero's always have a power to calming people, even more better than Destiny's. I figure out it's because he's the master of ice, and ice's always calming.

"father, when are we set out?"

Everyone stunned in silence, beside Skia who probably already know.

Nero.. I never expected him want to go back to Earth. His pain is more than ours. But once again, it's Nero. The gentle, stubborn, forgiving Nero.

I sigh. If Nero has choose something, he wouldn't let it go until he get what he wants. In this case, he would go to Earth although he have to go alone. Nero's very stubborn, more than Nekros, or Aeras, or Destiny (she's rarely ever being stubborn, but once she is, no one can rivaling her stubbornness besides Nero), or I.

I wouldn't let my brother go alone, so I'll come too.

"I'll go with Nero" after a glanced at Skia's expression, I added, "and Skia."

Destiny nodded in determined, "me too"

Aeras huff, "me three"

Nekros rolled his eyes with a smile, "me four"

Nero give the 4 of us a thankful grin. Father beamed, "thank you, my children. You'll departure tomorrow, because my brother has begun to have more power. We have to hurry,"

We nodded.

"I'll wait for you in 6 a.m,"
