Red

Normal End One: the Red Sea Witch Part Two

When I woke up, I felt absolutely wonderful. It was the best feeling I've had in a long time. I looked at my hands, which had been clothed in lovely red silk. My dress was a lighter shade of red now, and it looked much better than my disgusting blue dress had been.

Sal lifted up my chin once again. Oh, how handsome he looked.

"I do love you, Sal, I was stupid not to realize it earlier, but I do."

Showing his wide, toothy smile, he looked into my eyes.

"I had hoped you would say that. I always knew that you did."

He held my hand for a moment, but then let go. He had heard Samekichi wake up.

"W-what did yo u do wi-t h Wadano har-a"

His face was bleeding, the red liquid was trickling down and over his right eye. It was kind of funny, he looked like he was in a lot of pain. How weak.

Sal approached him, unsheathing his katana.

"Oh, Samekichi, you're awake. Did you have a nice rest?"

He said this with a kind of mocking tone. I loved it.

"Do-on't you da re h-hurt her..."

"I have no intentions for doing so. Would you like to see her?"

By now i was staring into the reddish-orange moon. In my mind, it kind of looked like a wheel of cheese melting over the clouds. The childish thought made me smile.

"l-let me see h-er" he uttered from the ground.

I turned ever so slightly to look at him, the smile still on my face.

"Hello, Samekichi!"

"W-Wadanohara?" He asked.

"Yes, it's me. Are you surprised?"

"....yes...." Samekichi mumbled. He looked like he had lost all faith. It was hilarious seeing him like this, and it made me laugh. Sal held my hand now, and pulled me in for a kiss. I loved him. I was absolutely stupid to ever say that I hadn't.

Sal let go of me to look at Samekichi's pathetic and bleeding face. He walked towards him and said, in a smooth voice,

"Samekichi, it's okay now, the pain will be gone. Physical and emotional. It won't matter in a minute."

He tried to prop himself up, but ended back on the ground. I almost felt some pity for him. Almost.

"I'm sorry I c-couldn't s ave you, w-Wadanohara....so....sorry...."

Sal grabbed Samekichi's shoulder with his free hand and tilted him up to look at the katana in front of him.

Then, in a matter of seconds, the blade went through him and ended his life.

I walked up to Sal, looping his arm in mine. Then, we started walking out into the Sea of Death together.
