"If I find you, I'll kill you!"
Oh! It was just a stupid dream, I thought it was real. Or was it a dream? Or a part of my stupid memory? I hate recalling those damned memories. They make me sulk in a corner! Those memories are negative ones, the cause why I never smiled ever since that happened... It was the cause of me forgetting how to be happy in my life...
10 years ago...
--Actually, 11 Years Ago-- (A/N : This is Omniscient View and it's 11 years ago because Victoria forgot something.)
"Hurry, Gale, take your sister and run away! Make sure both of you will be safe! Now go!", Queen Emilia ordered her son, Gale.
Gale did what his mother told, they ran as fast as they can, they don't want to look back. They know that someone is following them.
"Aethel, stay here alright? Stay here." Gale said panting.
"Is mom gonna be alright?"
"I don't know. But stay here okay?"
"Are you gonna come back for me?"
"Yes I will."
"Promise?"
"I promise, Aethelreda. Now be a good girl and stay here. Okay?", Gale left Aethelreda behind a large tree and he went back.
As she cry behind the tree she thought of her mom and her dad, her older brother, their maids in the castle and everybody. She placed her head on top of her knees and wait as she cry...
But, without her knowing...
"Now there you are! Come with me now. Don't be scared. I ain't gonna hurt you.", a suspicious stranger approached her...
"But I'm gonna hurt you!", she said trying to sound brave.
"Haha. And how are you going to do that?", she was frightened by that man. But she remembered her dad's words, "Do not be afraid, my child. This is just an obstacle of life, it will help you grow stronger.", he said those to Aethelreda when she was still training.
"I knew it. You've got nothing!", as he was about to charge, a sudden pump was made by her heart and in a blink of an eye, the man who tried to take her was dead in front of her, swimming in his own blood.
Aethelreda was so frightened by what she can do. She looked at her hands and there were some drops of the man's blood. Then she cuddled herself and started sulking...
Like right on cue, her brother, Gale walks toward the tree where he left his sister, he then saw the blood from the man. He ran towards the tree, worried, and there he saw Aethel sulking.
"Aethel, are you alright?", Gale asked.
"I did this to the man...", Aethelreda cried louder.
"Aethel, don't cry. You did it because your frightened that's all.", Gale comforted Aethelreda. 'It seems like Aethel can't tame her demonic side that long when she's frightened.', Gale thought.
"Aethelreda, stop crying. Let's go, there are still bad guys here.", Gale helped Aethel stand.
"Gale, where will we go?", Gale pulled Aethel's hand and started running.
