He looked at her in daze, but the loud thud of Sera kicking the door make him come back to his senses.
He quickly reached out to her "Let me handle this.."
"Stay back" Sera said but her voice was low,
"Let me do-" Aiden said again, he was afraid that she will hurt her leg, if she keep on kicking like that.
But Sera got frustrated and kicked it even with more strength, Aiden get stiff after he saw that she totally destroyed that lock. Though he knew Sera well but still with that fragile body, she kicked the door like a hunk in those movies.
Sera get in, Aiden followed her. But suddenly she turned around and said to him "I saw one more door at the other side, come from their"
Aiden got confused, but Sera yelled at him "GO!"
Sera words were more like a order, so he quickly followed her instructions and went to other door. He looked at it, it was already open.
'Why did she put so much efforts, when this door was already open?' he said to himself.
Sera searched for Ran impatiently, she was looking at every corner. And then finally she saw Ran. She was sitting on the edge in daze.
Ran turn around instinctively, she smiled sadly seeing Sera.
Sera trembled a bit seeing her sitting at the edge, she tried to walk towards her but Ran softly said "Don't come near me"
Her voice was really weak, Sera get stiffed "Ran, Listen to me"
"I am sorry" Ran paused and smiled again, tears started flowing down her cheeks "I am sorry, Sera. After all this you did for me but still all I did was just hurt you"
Sera slowly tried to walk towards her as she spoke "You did nothing, Ran"
"Stop!" Ran shouted at her.
Sera stopped right their as she saw Ran trying to stand up at the edge, her face was looking really pale.
"I did, I did.. I hurt you, why didn't you tell me? why didn't you tell me that you used to suffer every time you see me? Why didn't you tell me for once that you don't like me? Why did you still always be nice to me? Why did you get beaten by that bastard for me? Why did you get all the hate just to protect me? Why ? Why?" Ran start asking her rapidly
"Because you are my best friend. Damn it! Because you were different from them. You were pure and kind hearted, so stop blaming yourself and GET DOWN!" Sera shouted at her as she was holding back her tears "Please.."
Ran looked at her, her vision start getting blurry but still she tried to focus and said "I am nothing different from them.. I tried to kill your mot-"
Before she could say more, she almost lost consciousness and fell backwards.
"Ran!" Sera shouted and run towards her,
Sera tried to catch her but her feet get stuck in something and she fell down at the floor. She felt pain but she ignored it and looked for Ran.
She felt relieved when she saw Aiden caught her hand,
Aiden pulled Ran up and start patting on her cheeks "Ran! Ran! Open your eyes... Please you dummy GET UP!" His mind turned all blank,
Ran tried hard to open her eyes as she saw Aiden face in front of her eyes, she smiled brightly and reached out her hand to touch his face but then she lost her consciousness completely and her hand fell down.
Seeing this Aiden soul almost left his body as he stared at her face blankly,
Sera quickly get up and looked at Ran, her lips were turning blue. "No, it can't be" Sera searched her clothes and found that poison vial.
"No.. No.. You come back to your senses." Sera then shouted at Aiden seeing him completely lost.
Aiden looked at Sera in daze as if he is lost somewhere,
"Aiden, we need to take her down their. Understand? She will die .. so come back to your senses!"
Aiden nodded, he will not let his Ran die like this and he quickly run taking Ran in his embrace.
