A trip to Bessekai

XI

"What once forgotten, shall return"

The old lady told me, her words had delicate tone to it but her smiles were mischevious.

I looked at her for a moment and turned back to where I was supposed to be going.

I walked with heavy eyes back to the carriage. The energy I had a while ago had dissipated.

What bothers me the most was, what was is that she said was forgotten?

...my memories? Or...

Is it something else...

As we all sat again back to the carriage, everyone had their thoughts on to something. We were silent the whole time, neither of us didn't want to initiate a conversation to ease up the tension.

No, we just minded our own businesses. Tsuki had a fuming expression as she looked straight and was not talking cheerfully like she would usually do. The three of us were not like ourselves since we left the kingdom.

It was already late, and the sky was getting darker. The sun was about to rest, and we arrived, we suddenly stopped abruptly and saw furious people approaching the coach. The riot as the people yell loomed. They were shaking off our ride so we decided to confront them.

Lune got off and Tsuki and I followed. Tsuki was covering me as she defended me with her hand from the angry mob.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Lune disciplined the people but the rage from the people's faces were not shaked by Lune's threatening voice.

Their stares were straight directed to me. And I definitely knew they were after me.

"Don't you know you all can get imprisoned with this act?" Lune once again responsed, they seemed unbothered at first but they fell into silence for a moment as he said that statement. I heard murmuring at the back of the crowd and people were looking at each other, already doubting their actions.

The man then looked at his companions and strengthened again their revolution.

"In who's law!?" The man responsed. Lune was taken aback, he seemed unprepared with that response. I could see him sweating as the pressure heated more against us and the people.

The people were agreeing with the man as they continued their rants towards me. Their yells were about to erupt in my ears as they protests their loud words to us. I slowly covered my ears because it was devouring me.

"You should've never come here the first place! And you should have never come back!"

"That's right. You started the war! You're a murderer!"

"I lost my family because of you! Whore!"

"You're a selfish girl with mindless brain, you should be the one dead not our families!"

Their words were constantly attacking me as I watched them silently. Astonished of how angry they were at me.

"Im sorr--" I tried talking. But got cut off by Tsuki.

"Don't say anything" she said to me with seriousness in her voice.

I couldn't do anything, nor say something. Or even remember everything...

"Yeah that's right, even if you apologize..." a girl's voice responsed coming from the back and I was suddenly grabbed by my shoulder. The next thing I knew, a knife was held by the side of my neck.

"YOU WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN" she continued now pointing the sharp knife right by my neck.

I gulped in fear, Tsuki was walking back, easing the girl to not slice me off.
