Miscellaneous Lofty Scarlet Stiletto [English Version]

Heartache

The deadly liquid developed in the era of the Soviet Union called 'novichok' would adorn the suffering that later fell upon Alicia. My hands wrapped in latex gloves while my face already covered by a mask. Of course, to prevent the situation from going wrong. Because the poison is seriously deadly.

Then I mixed the two chemicals as perfectly as possible and poured the liquid into a handkerchief. Then the chemicals absorbed into the handkerchief.

Just like real criminals in films, right?

My right eyebrow lifted up followed by the grin that adorned my lips. Then I had returned to the place where Alicia was unconscious. The water that I had previously turned on, engulfed half of her body.

I removed the gloves that were still stuck in my hands. I also removed the mask that covered my face. I put those things on the table, right next to the book I had put. I had covered the table with a towel before. Of course, so the poison did not graze the table. As much as I could, I did not let my guard down when dealing with these mixed liquids. Because I did not want accidentally kill myself.

The next step was to tie the victim's hands.

"What is a pity, Alicia," I said when I was on her side. She did not budge. Had I drowned her head protracted enough in the water? Maybe her lungs were already filled with water at that time. First aid supposed to be given to her. I should have given her CPR before put her in a puddle again, but never mind. It was too late.

I crouched down beside the bathtub and then pulled both of her hands together, tied them tightly together. It must be hurt.

After I finished, I left that place. A puddle of water rose furthered and sank Alicia's stiff body. Was not I too cruel? I did not think so. At least by making her fainted could reduce her pain. Do not compare me with a bloodthirsty psychopath. Torture the victim repeatedly. I am different. What do I only need is artworks.

I took the dagger on the table. Then returned to Alicia.

"Why are you so comfy Alicia?" I asked.

No answer.

The water went up and dampened my sleeve, while I gently caressed Alicia's cold cheeks. "Do you have to taste my dagger? Then you will wake up?" I said again. There was still no answer. I sighed softly. Oh, come on even though I did not want to torture you any further.

But there was still no answer and it did not surprise me at all.

I grabbed the faucet and turned that object off to prevent the water from drowning her. Gave her space to breathe. My dagger was straight in the right next to her face. The surface of the dagger was almost as cold as Alicia's skin. I scraped her skin with it. Slowly the thick blood that resembled with the rose's petal that floated around adorned her face.

I smiled.

The masterpiece would soon appear and beautify this room. I really could wait anymore.

Even though the dagger had etched a deep cut on Alicia's cheek, it was not enough to wake her up. Suddenly I was worried that the girl had died a long time ago and I did not realize it. My hand went straight to the pulse on her neck. Luckily I could still feel her pulse pumping even though it was very slow and almost could not be felt.

Maybe her skin was numb due to my treatment a while ago. Therefore she could not feel the pain arose from the wound that I had incised. Then, the next second I lifted the girl's body. Allowed my arms as well as the clothes I was wearing becoming wet because of contact with water. Nevermind, that time let me felt the cold that was also felt by her.

She really needed help from CPR to wake her up.

"Cough! Cough!" She spewed out the water she had swallowed. After I finally chose to make her regained her consciousness.

About two times I repeated the scene of giving her artificial respiration then pressed her chest many times before Alicia successfully regained her consciousness. It turned out that she swallowed enough pool water and made her unable to breathe smoothly.

Somehow I felt a little relieved to see that girl regained from her consciousness. Like after seeing a quarry that turned out to be still fresh. After that, I would truly become the grim reaper for her.

Alicia's gaze described as if asking, "Where am I?" or "What have you done?", "Am I dreaming?", but the pain she had just felt on her cheek made her face turn ashen.

Alicia realized that a while ago she had experienced a real nightmare. The moment she wanted to touch her cheek and made sure if there was bleeding. She found out that her hand could not move because was tied by something.

"Are you awake?" I smirked.

Heard a sudden baritone of mine made Alicia's consciousness fully returned. Although she was still troubled by the panic attacks she was experienced. Straight away, her panic attacks increased, shortly after she realized what had happened to her.

"Y-You ..." The word that came out of her mouth was almost imperfect. She tried to keep her voice heard and eliminated its vibrations.

"Me?" My index finger pointed at myself. Intimidating my collocutor with a super calm face.

"Just kill me!"

"Wow, Miss."

She snorted after heard my refutation just then. I snorted too because I felt more and more enthusiastic.

"It won't be fun if I just leave you that way right?"

She glared indignantly at me. However, I smiled.

"Are you not enough just by hurting my heart?"

I did not answer even though she finally cried.

Seriously. I was born to kill. Hurt other people's hearts is not enough for me. Some say heartbroken is more painful than have gaping wounds on your limbs. Come on, who bragged using this illogical analogy. Nonsense.

"You know the answer right?" I pulled the tip of my lips and grinned.

"Kill me right now!" Instead of responded, I ignored her while lifting her body and returned it to the bathtub where the water was already full.

Alicia was struggling when I carried her, made me quite adversity. My lips touched her forehead before entering her into the bathtub. What I did was able to make her suddenly stiffed, frozen.

I turned off the water that flowed down from the faucet. Prevented the water from sinking Alicia completely. Her head must get the air around.

Some flower petal flowed down on the bathroom floor.

"I did lying about myself, but ...." Before I continued my words, I took a deep breath and then snorted. "I don't lie about loving you."

I was silent after saying that.
