Chapter 2:

“Was it a fun story?... Probably Not”

THE CITY OF STORIES


“A string of kidnappings have occurred across the city this month...Almost immediately after the alleged suicide of famous mage of the Azrael family Asteria Azrael, all the victims seem to range from middle school to high school girl`s, parents are advised to keep their children indoors the police are yet to identify a suspect or a motive the case itself remains a myst--”

“That’s enough news for one day.” I say as I turn off the TV.

It`s been a month since my sister was murdered. It’s been a month since her death. It`s been a month since I killed her… Most of you might not even remember me, but that’s probably for the best. Why…? Because I`m better off forgotten, every person who’s ever met me would probably be happier if they hadn’t met me whether they know it or not my sister included.

I should probably try to look my best let`s try tying my hair up into a ponytail.

I decided to stay away from school after my sister`s burial not because of feelings of grief, remorse or guilt but because it`d be strange—It`d be incredibly strange for anyone to attend school a day after they lost a loved one.

“Lady Frey are you sure you’re ready to go back to school…? Perhaps you still need more time to—mourn.”

“It`s okay I`m fine now.” I replied.

Of course I`d be fine after all I`m the one that killed her, but I feel I should leave out that detail when dispelling my maid Lilian`s concerns. If the truth of this got out that I killed Asteria I fear I wouldn’t be able to live a normal life, then again it`s not like my life up until now has been normal.

If I had to think of a parental figure it`d probably be Lilian, the head maid and caretaker of this mansion, she’s been here all my life from as far back as I can remember she’d taken care of my sister and I. 

Asteria`s death must really be hard on her and now she’s worried she’ll lose me.

“Lady Frey!” Lilian yelled out to me at the door “P-Please be careful on your way out.”

She waved at me with an obviously forced smile.

“I will.” I said as I shut the door behind me.

Thinking back to it…When I killed sister and when her lower half ripped apart and the bones in her body twisted and fractured, as her small intestines and other internal organs scattered all over the place, as she fell to the ground as pieces of the roof and her blew up into the sky, as her blood splattered all over the walls and all over my clothes. For a fleeting moment I felt such a thrill, I could see myself grinning in the reflection of blood on the floor.

“AHHHH!!” I let out a blood curdling scream.

I was terrified, I was terrified, I was terrified, I was terrified, I was terrified, I was terrified, I was terrified, I was terrified, I was terrified, I was terrified!! I was terrified!! I was terrified!! I was terrified!!!...I was terrified…of myself.

Just what had come over me, I thought at the time, but more importantly the other residents of sis`s apartment were rushing up the stairs each step I heard filled me with fear how would I explain this. 

what do I do?

“I hope you find—

I could hear my sister muttering words.

 I couldn’t quite make out what she said

—gold”

Her hand was shaking as she extended it out to me; she whispered a spell under her breath probably her last words.

They was a huge flash and discharge of magic and before I knew it I was at the beach were we`d play together when I was younger.

No one around me could see my blood stained clothes or my blood stained face I`m not sure how but she made it so that no one around me could see but I could. Knowing her I`m sure she took care of everything else too that’s just so like her.

I decided to sit down and enjoy the view of the sea.

I had been sitting for so long it had gotten late it was really late the sun had gone down and the moon illuminated the night sky.

A young man in an S.I.D uniform walked up to me he looked as though he was talking to himself for a moment never mind that, was he here to arrest me. No he looked like the type of guy that`d be sis`s type she probably sent him I thought to myself.

“Can you see it?” I asked the young man.

“I can’t see it...” he responded, as he took a seat right next to me and said…“You killed her right.”

“Yes I did, so are you hear to arrest me?”

I asked knowing full well what the answer was.

“Not really.” he exhaled

“My sister sent you right.”

“She did, but you knew that didn’t you.” he acknowledged “Is that why you admitted to killing her.”

I agreed.

The two of us sat in silence as we stared out at the sea.

After a while the young man got up to leave but before he did he said one final thing to me.

“Your sister told me to tell you she thinks of you as gold, but to me…You’re more like fool’s gold”

He`s right I could never be anyone`s treasure. 

Just like that he was gone, he didn’t even ask for my name, if I had to guess why, he probably didn’t think it was worth asking for.

The rising sun`s light glittered on the surface of the calm sea putting an end to a long night.

End of flash back.

 welcome back was it fun …obviously not right it was a story about me so of course it wasn’t fun. 

If they was some kind of lesson to take from this story it`d be I Frey Azrael am a horrible human being. I thought as I arrived by my school gates. 

Wait why are they two girls waiting for me at the gate?! A blonde bob cut girl and black long haired girl? Eh?!
