To Serenity

- Chapter 2 -

- Enfield? -

Feeling the cold surface and atmosphere around me

I then open my eyes

feeling as if there is a presence before me

my vision slowly becomes clearer

"Master?"

there I see a green haired person

wearing a plain shirt with something that looks like a crest on his chest?

I noticed that I've been staring at his deep green eyes

Those eyes made me feel comfortable

I quickly blurted out a sorry

"sorry! I didn't mean to stare.."

It was as if my condition has gotten worse, I noticed that I'm already backed up against the wall.

I felt very alarmed on what's happening

"Who, are you people?" I stuttered, feeling endangered

I noticed there is a tall figure behind him

in the same plain shirt but a little different looking crest

He seems to be scoffing a bit

The green haired smiles reassuringly

and started to kneel Infront of me.

"Nice to meet you, Master. Please, call me Enfield! The British Empire called the "Factory of the World" is the birthplace of the excellent and highly-perfected masterpiece the Enfield gun. To be frank, that was me! Like the great Brown Bess-senpai, I've become a fine, noble soldier... I pledge to protect Master by the pride of the British Empire" He said with all confidence in his voice.

feeling really embarrassed to what he has confessed

I feel like I'm a blushing mess.

and then it clicked

'The gun that I accidentally stole from curiosity'

'wait does that make me a thief now?'

thoughts aside

the memories of the burned village, the suicidal thoughts, the poems, the doll, and the rifles came rushing through my mind.

somehow his looks don't look all too unfamiliar to me anymore.

"The Green-headed doll..." I somehow blurted out.

Noticing the words I just said

I quickly put my hand over my mouth from embarrassment

"sorry.. I got reminded of something"

Looking away, I noticed how the purple haired has been looking down on me.

I know that he's actually taller than me

but I could see the pitiful look in those mesmerizing purple eyes.

the purple haired then crossed his arms.

"hm, aren't you being too straightforward, Enfield."

The side looks he gives his brother

send me chills down my spine.

enfield then started to sweatdrop.

"very funny snider," he said with a tint of embarrassment in that voice.

all the purple haired could do was show a little smirk towards his brother

still making me feel really confused and all that.

"uh.. look, I really don't know what's going on.."

the purple haired then looks away

Enfield looks at you with a smile

"we are Musketeers, summoned from your call and purpose."

'my call and purpose?'

I then started to remember that drowning scenario that I Intended

'how did that summon them? I.. don't understand'

feeling as if a weight suddenly is on my shoulders

I stared at the floor

I feel a light tap on my shoulder, I got startled from my train of thoughts from it.

"Don't worry master, I pledge to you that I will do my best in protecting you, master!"

The determined look I see in his eyes

somehow makes me feel secure.

I formed a small smile at him and can't help but realize that there seems to be a small scar on his cheek

"hold on a sec.."

unbeknownst to me, I find my hand placed on his cheek.

"Eh??" was all Enfield could muster to say aloud

the sudden contact didn't bother me for a moment before my moment of realization.

the whole time I have been eyeing his scar

his eyes are focused on mine

not long after somehow a radiant light blinds our eyes

it caused a sharp pain on my palm too somehow

making me feel light-headed and weak.

moments later when the light has faded out

I noticed the scar I've been inspecting has disappeared

it was as if he's good as new.

with the purple head watching

he seems to be convinced that we don't realize the position we are in

Enfield keeps my hand firmly on his still near his cheek

causing my cheeks to burn up

"Thank you Master, I will do my best on helping everyone out,"

he gives Master an eye-closed smile

Snider watches in amusement

'Quite the so-called Master she is,'

'We'll see how far she could keep up'.
