MELTDOWN _Data Loss_ [Book 2 in the CVo002rIn Series] (SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter 4:

Luka span around and looked at the scissors in my hands with pure fear in her eyes. Thoughts of how nice she’d been to me and how she always treated me kindly, and her smiling face flashed. I couldn’t do this; Luka was like my older sister. “B-but Len-kun-“I fell too my knees with scissors tumbling out of my hand to my side. My head fell into my hands and I let out a sob, “I can’t do this. I can’t kill Luka, its not- I can’t.”

Luka’s eyes softened as I felt the sudden warmth as she embraced me, “You were getting out of control, and you need to stop now, okay?” I sobbed again, what had come over me to do something like this? What had propelled me to think it was right of me to cut Miyuki’s wires? Why? Why had I done it? I nodded despite my tears and started to cry in her arms. Luka had always been there for me, to comfort me, to make me smile, to take care of me, to make me feel better; those are the reasons why I couldn’t kill her. She’s too pure at heart; I could never forgive myself to do something like that. I had let darkness obscure what mattered to me.

Len’s Pov

I walked down the hall searching for Luka; I got her that book that she wanted. It’s called the Hunger Games and well, too me it looks…weird. I’ve never really looked at this type much; I wonder why the publicity is so high. I shrugged and opened her room door, “Luka-“I started, but then saw… Rin? “What are you doing in here?” I blinked as I saw her sobbing with her head in her hands. Something gleaming at her side caught my eye, was that… a knife? No, it’s not, they were scissors.

Realization hit me and I took a step back, “Rin, what are you doing?” she stared up at me with sad, desperate, lonely eyes. Something deep inside me stirred, but before I could figure out what it was, it stopped as sudden as it had came. Her face was red and puffy from crying, and her cheeks were tear stained. I heard footsteps behind me suddenly and moved away from the door.

“Oh guys, there’s somebody at the door- or not…” It was Kaito, he saw Rin having a meltdown, Luka comforting her, and me just standing in the doorway uselessly. He shot me a questioning look, “What’s up with them?”

I shrugged, “I don’t know…” I glanced at Rin for a second, what’s wrong with her? And what was that strange feeling? I turned towards Kaito, “Who’s at the door?”

Kaito smiled, “You’ll see.” He grabbed my wrist and pulled me along, catching me off guard, caused me to lurch forward, and almost face plant. He apologized but continued to pull me through the hall then down the stairs and finally in front of the open door. I heard a chuckle as I groaned and straightened myself.

“Really Kaito?” I shot him a dirty look and looked at the person in the doorway. They had brown hair that was sort of a mess and brown kind eyes; he stared at all of us lovingly. Not like the ‘oh my god look at these two, I love how buff the blue haired one is and how cute the yellow haired one is’ It’s more of the lovingly like family. He was probably a teenager and had a calm cool air about him, and was really familiar looking. Kaito was smiling away like a creep pedophile (I bet that’s his night job).

 The boy sighed, “Seriously? I was there when you were both created-no I was the one to first create those files-and I get nothing?” My eyes widened.

“M-M-Masuta?!” I stared in wonder, who knew Master-not Masuta, why had I said that, stupid Len-was so young for somebody who created us and everything.

“Yo.” I just bowed instead because it seemed like the respectful and right thing to do. Master ignored this and just ruffled my hair, “Oh god Len, loosen up, I haven’t seen you since you were a software.” My face reddened; it feels like I'm being mothered or something.
