The Beginning

Primary Application

《 Belladona's POV 》

Hot.

Hot air. That was the tempetature I am in. And as I hate to say it, I am currently hiding in a freaking jungle filled with insects and shit. Im even sweating as hell. This is all because of a stupid Arch who "reported" us to his captain.

Red walks into the hiding spot I was in. The makeshift shaft of planks and leaves that showed no need of organization and classification.

"I think it's clear... we ha-... need to move on" He says with his usual tone. I let out a satisfying smile. Finally, I'll be able to escape this place and dwell in a more comfortable place!

...

"What the fuck, Red!" I screamed angrily at the sight before me. "I was expecting some awesome place or something but... What the fuck is this?"

Infront of me was a shop for all those girls who stays pretty and filled with glitter. I just can't stand the bright color and happy feelings. It's stupid as crap.

"Wai-" He tries to defend himself but I continued talking. "I dont want to stay in a Girl's shop! Its too girly for me! The dumspter is better."

"Wait... I know someone in that shop that can keep us safe and hidden" he answered. Of all places! Why thi?

We entered the Shop of Horrors and try to act as sane as possible. Girly stuff... will definitely make me sick. The shop was full of ornaments and stuff that other girls would often use but I believe this items like make ups are not a necessity. People who buy these stuff are just... naive and stupid. This things are deadly poisons that kill you slowly.

Red leads me to the counter and shows me a beautiful woman in her 30's. She is wearing a coat and a very stylish hat. What would you expect from a person who works in a Girl Shop.

"Crizelda-sama. We are here." Red says as the woman face him and smiles.

"Oh! Aka-kun is here!" She says in delight. "What brings you here?"

"Don't you remember, Crizelda-sama? I called you so we could hide..." Red answers.

"That's right! Gomenasai. I forgot all about it!" She reflects and then notices me. "Ooh! Could it be Ao-kun has a girlfriend?"

I quickly wave my hand to defend myself. "No! It's a misunderstanding!"

Red does the same and we both say at the same time. "We're not...-"

Crizelda cuts us off and then continues. "Together?" We both nod in synchronization.

"Oh my. You are both funny. What would your name be?" She faces me and asks.

"Uh... Im Belle" I answer swiftly. Shoot. Why did I saw my name. Im not supposed to reveal my identity with people I don't know. At least Belle isn't Belladona... but close.

"What a beautiful name, Belle-chan!" She says gleefully and then her face turns into a more serious tone. "Please come with me. I'll show you to the Cove."

We both follow her into the back of the building patiently and trying to be stealthy as possible.

"Wait for me... I have to check first." She says and we nod at her to agree with her. She then twists the knob of the door infront of her and slowly pulls it open. The door is finally wide open and she enters it subsequently.

Silence is what came after. 5 minutes of silence that made us suspicious. What could've cause her to stay that long.

"We should check on her" Red suggests. I nod and walk toward the door. It was so quiet, I could feel something wrong with it. I know it is.

Clang.

A sound from the other room can be heard. With my fast reflexes, I hurriedly run toward the door of the said room; unleashing my shadowy power.

I open the door not even aware of what was happening around me. Im not even sure if Red followed me and Im not sure if he is still there. The adrenaline running through my veins caused my head to go shadowy. Im not me anymore.

The door bursts open after I conjure a shadow explosion and run inside. Im expecting this to be bad and expecting this to go... Red.

"Its too late now." I hear a voice say and then my body feels bound. I-i can't move. What is this contracting me?

"What are you doing to me!" I scream and struggle as the invisible chains go tighter. "Let me go!"

"I won't." He says with a psychopathic voice and his sickening grinn appearing before me. "Hello Belladona"

Could it be? He found us? We were well hidden. Did he follow us?

"Fuck you, peasant!" I scream at him as my rage reach it's peak. I am so mad at him. I hate him. I loathe him. I will kill him. I will kill the guy who killed my people. I will crush him like a grape in a wine factory. I will mince him to bits with my cleaver of fury. I will-

Wait... is that... is that Crizelda-san? She is on the floor with a blood of people beneath her and a slit in her troath. No! It cant be! That asshole!

"IM GONNA KILL YOU! SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!" I struggle with the chains; screaming in anger.

" Oh she has. And she will." He stands up and show the Beginning sign in her left shoulder. Like the one I have in my back. No! She's one of us!

"THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU WOULD KILL ONE OF US! BECAUSE ITS YOUR TURN IN THE GRAVE!"

"Funny." He chuckles. "Feel a little dizzy?"

"What..."

"In about 39 seconds, you would immediately pass out. That chains I had bound you with is an enchanted chain. Everything it bounds will have nausea and eventually pass out completely contracting its power. Effective for... 'your kind-" He laughs and then...
