Chapter 13:
The unknown one
when I was young I always look for something I don't know what it was but it seems important everything is colorless without it maybe this is just my loneliness I don't have many friends because I always fight and make a mess but I was only trying to protect what I have left my mother, my father died in an accident My mom was broken at that point, So I take an oath that I will protect and my mother happy, whenever my mom was in trouble at job I always protect her I don't care if I die as long as my mother is happy I will be victorious, "Hey you should stop fighting" My mom said worriedly, "I'm sorry I can't" I said, "But you need to enjoy your life too" Mom said, "I'll try" I said uncertainly MOM tried talking to me to stop fighting but I can't it feels like everything depends on fighting, not so long after I've received a nickname from everyone "Fighter from hell" I never mind that nickname but it made my job easier Not many people can hurt or approach mom.
"It's been a while since mom tell me to go out to buy something" I said, "Uh, why does people avoiding me?", "Oh, well I don't mind that", With that I headed to buy the thing mom tells me to buy, while returning someone blocked my way, "So you are the rumored fighter from hell" They said, I just shoved them off my job is to bring this back to mom "Eh, are you ignoring us, don't tell me you scared" They said, I just ignored them and continued walking when out of nowhere one of them tried to punch me I quickly block it and punched him back his nose was broken and the others came running to me "You will pay for doing that" They said, I quickly launched at them and throw them to the ground, "Light work" I said, and continued walking But then I saw a girl around my age sixteen Her hair was red same as the eyes she was inside a house I never knew someone like her lives here, I felt something new I don't know what it is but it's beautiful, after I give mom the things I help her cook and do chores.
It was night while sitting at a plain grass field, I noticed someone sit next to me, it was the same girl I saw, "You? what are you doing here?" I said, "Nothing, just admiring the stars" She said, "What's your name?" I asked, "Zane" She replied, "What about yours?", "Enma" I said, "Nice to meet you Enma" She said with a smile, It felt like the time has stopped completely What am I feeling, this is new to me I want to know what this feeling meant, "Hey" She said, "Are you okay?", "Yeah" I said embarrassingly, I didn't notice that I stared at her long enough she must be thinking I'm a pervert, "Hey, I saw you fight back there why?" She asked, "I don't know either" I replied to her, "oh, Why do you always come here" She said, "To escape everything, why are you here? I don't see you often in this village" I said, "I want to relax and be free" she said, After she said that I realized that were just the same at the reasoning, From that they on we always meet here every night to talk about things that we want, we laugh, we cry we do things together This is the first time someone make me this happy.
While sitting in the field I asked her "Why don't you go out in the day?", She remains silent, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me, Just don't be sad" I said while cheering her up, "Thank you" she said, "For what?", I asked, "for always being there for me" She said, "No, I should thank you for giving me a chance to change" I said, She smiles warmly, I lay down at the field and look at the stars above, "The stars are beautiful" I said, She lay down too agreeing to what I said, I looked at her she was perfect the most beautiful girl everyone would be falling for her if they saw her, Is this what they call admiration? I don't know but I wanted to know, "Hey Enma" She said, "What?" I said, "If I ever be in danger would you save me?" She asked seriously, "I will, even if it meant losing my life" I said, She smile and said "Promise", "promise, I will even escape from hell to save you" I said, we smile and continued looking at the stars.
A couple week past since we started hanging out, we still goes at the same spot but this time I felt something was off, "Why are you sad?" I asked, "N-nothing" She said, "you could always tell me" I said reassuringly, "Thanks", she said with a smile, we spend the night looking at the stars "I want to be a star" She said, "Me too, being so free I could do anything" I said, "are you in love with someone?" She asked to me, "Maybe, I don't know" I replied, "What about you?", "Maybe, I don't know either", she said, we giggles as she said that with that we spend the night admiring the stars.
In the morning, While I was heading down stairs to eat Mom said something to me "Hey there is an event that will happen tonight are you coming?", "I don't think so" I said, "Okay, you could just go there if you wanted to" Mom said, Later that night I came to our usual spot, but she was not there I waited for a couple minute but no sign of her, "That's weird, she should be here right now" I said, I felt like something was amiss then I remember the question she asked "if I ever be in danger would you save me?", Something is wrong, I quickly run towards her house I used all of my speed to get there while thinking "Please be safe" I worried hard for her, when I arrived I quickly barged in and saw no sign of her but the house is messy it looks like someone fights here, I heard a noise coming from a man, I quickly hide and waited for him to come near when he was close enough I jump at him and punch him, he quickly fall but not unconscious, I hold his collar and asked "Where is the girl from this house?", "I don't know" He said, I was angry and I held his right hand and broke it, "Where is she!?" I said while he screams in pain, "I-I don't know" He said I quickly held his other hand and I was about to break it until he said "I-I will tell you just don't break it", "Tell me!" I said, "S-she's in the south" The man said, My eyes widened and asked "why do you need her?", B-because she is the sacrifice" After the man said that word I quickly ran toward the south, while running I saw a light nearby I quickly goes there.
Only to find Zane tied up in a crossed shape wood, "Everyone we will now start the ritual" An old man said, Everyone around Zane started to dance and chant words, My anger lit up, I was furious when I look at Zane I saw here in tears like he wants to live, I couldn't stand it anymore I slowly walk towards her while giving off a dangerous aura, Everyone noticed me and backed off, "Hey, isn't that Enma" Someone whispers in the crowd, Someone approached me and said while in shivers "H-how can I help you", "Free her" I said coldly as my eyes screams in anger, "I'm sorry We can't do that" The old man said, "Kill him", "Fine, I'll do it my it myself" I said, I quickly grab the head of the man that is in front of me and crushed it, "For power I'll exchange this man's soul" I said coldly, Someone appeared at my back saying "Very well", with that he disappeared, everyone was frightened to see him, as my hand started to turn black, Everyone come at me at the same time, while the old man stayed near Zane, "Let the fun begins" I said coldly, and grabbed the person coming at me in the collar and crashed him in the ground Everyone backed off a little, and I quickly ran toward the nearest one to me and grabbed his heart from his chest he screamed as he noticed that his heart had disappeared Everyone came at me again and we started fighting I killed everyone that comes at me but then I noticed that the old man is setting the cross on fire.
I quickly panicked and started to ran toward Zane but the everyone blocked my way Her face was in tears as he cries hard, "NO!" I screamed hard, but it wasn't over The old man is having a hard time setting the cross on fire I still have time with no choice I said above whisper "May the god of death bless me", With that all the dead bodies disappears everyone was frightened as They saw wings grow from my back it was black as darkness and as big as the tree's, Everyone backed of but then they noticed that their stomach was open, then they fall to the ground all of their bodies started to disappeared one by one, The old man was frightened to see it and said "I will burn her if you come near me", I smirked and said "You're already dead", he looked at his stomach it was wide open then he falls to the ground ending his life, I slowly walk toward Zane her face was still in tears but I noticed her eyes is not open, "Open your eyes" I said to her gently, she opens her eyes It was red just like the time I first met her, she was shock to see me, "What are you doing here?" She asked, "They might kill you too", "Everything is okay now" I said as I slowly untie her, when I finished untying her she quickly hugged me and said "Thank you for being there for me", "A promise is a promise" I said warmly.
Afterward we returned to my house to treats her wound, While treating her wound someone knocked at the door I opened it only to see the royal guards of the duke "You are her by sentenced for kidnapping the dukes love" The head guard said, "I never kidnap someone before" I said, "Eh, your still gonna lie" One of the guard said while pointing his sword toward me, "Are you challenging me" I said as I clenched my fist hard.
