It Will End In A Kiss

Another Well Lit Room

(BLU)

I stood frozen on my feet as I stare at the scene unfolding before me. My eyes fixed at a shadow holding a boy that looks uncannily like me when I was six years old. There's a glitter of light as I spied a blade kissing the boy's neck.

As I turned my gaze a bit, standing a few meters from the shadow and his hostage is Mr.Gilbert, with his gun trained on the shadow holding the boy.

"No!" I shouted. "No! Don't shoot! Mr.Gilbert, don't shoot!" I tried running towards the boy who I just knew will get hurt in this altercation. My heart pounding and I continued to shout. "No! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! No!"

BANG! BANG!

"NOOOO!!"

I ran as the shadow and the boy fell on the ground. The shadow melted away and the boy stayed lying as I knelt before him. "Don't die! Don't die!" I held the boy, trying to see where he was hit by the bullet from Mr.Gilber's gun.

"I am fine," the boy, with the same eyes as mine, spoke. "He was the one who got hurt," the boy turned his head sideways and raised his arm to point at someone.

My eyes followed his finger and I felt my whole body going numb as I saw a twitching body some six feet away. "Robin...? Robin! ROBIN!" I crawled towards Robin's twitching body. He is holding on to his stomach but I can't see any wound or blood on him. I cradled him in my arms. "Robin, no...no, no, no...don't die on me. Robin, don't die on me! Don't die on me! DON'T!" I shook his body as Robin kept staring up ahead as he gasped for air.

"Robin no...please..." I started crying as I try to make him look at me. "No. Don't do this to me. Not like this. Please...PLEASE!"

"I'm sorry, Blu." I turned my head when Mr.Gilbert spoke. My eyes widened anew when I saw him pointing the gun on his hand in his own head. "This is all my fault. I'm sorry." Mr.Gilbert gave me a pleading look before he pulled the trigger and another loud bang rocked my whole world.

That's when Robin's body disappeared from my lap and I was suddenly in the middle of a sea. A red sea...

A sea of blood.

"No! NO! NO! NOOOOOOO!!! AHHHH!!!"

.............................

"AHHHH!"

I woke up shouting as the door of my room bursts open. Mr.Gilbert, Mr.Akage and Robin came rushing into my room. They probably heard me screaming.

"Blu!" Mr.Gilbert rushed to my bed and reached for me but I pushed his arms away and cower towards the bed's headboard. "No! Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" I shouted at Mr.Gilbert. At all of them.

"Blu!" Mr.Akage this time jumped on the bed to pull me into his arms. "Its okay, Blu. I am here. We are here. It's alright." He tried calming me down.

I turned my head and saw Robin staring at me. He is frowning at me. I turned my gaze away. But then something smacked my window and I couldn't help flinching at the loud sound.

"Its alright," Mr.Akage leaned out to caress my hair. "A typhoon is blowing outside. It brought strong wind. I'm sorry. Should we board the windows for you?"

"No, I'm fine." I sniffed and swallowed hard. Then I looked at Mr.Gilbert who gave me a little smile. "I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to push you away..."

"It's alright Blu. You were dreaming." Mr.Gilbert nodded to reassure me.

More like having a nightmare but who is being politically correct anyways. I sniffed again and that's when I noticed a line attached to my arm. I gazed at it with question in my head on why its there.
