Chapter 47 - The truth

A young woman, 17 years old, walks along the forest-line of KotaKemurnian on a sunny afternoon in a tight black dress with short sleeves that goes down to her knees. Her short, straight brown hair flows in the wind as a breeze blows by.

"Yeah, I'm on my way," a voice came from a little ways down, causing the girl to lift her light hazel eyes. Her eyes land on a boy her age, in their late teens, with long golden blonde hair pulled back in a bun and teal eyes. He walks towards the forest from between some houses and as he emerges, he pulls a cell phone down from his ear before putting it in his pocket. He wore a black tight turtleneck t-shirt with fingerless black gloves on his hands and black sweatpants. Vena immediately recognizes him and her heart starts racing. As the boy enters the forest, she pulls out her cell phone and texts Takeshi.

Takeshi, he's here. Oliver Lovax. The guy who's one of the most wanted guy's on the list. I'm going to try and confront him. I'm entering the forest by the pet shop. My GPS is on so you should find me

She puts her phone away back in her small, dark brown purse before starting into the forest after Oliver.

Ren stares at Vena before staring at Oliver.

"Oliver!" She cries and tries to run to him but she doesn't go anywhere.

"He can't hear you. Or see you. Just, watch," Takeshi stood next to her. She turns to face him but he nods towards the scene as it changes.

The scene changes. Takeshi's phone buzzes in his pocket. He's sitting in his chair at his desk in his room. He pulls it out and reads the text from Vena before immediately texting back.

Vena! Don't confront him alone!

He hesitates for a few seconds before trying to call her, getting sent to voicemail right away. He texts her a few more times before pulling up his GPS tracker and rushing out of the house to find her.

Vena

Babe

Vena!

Babe please pick up

Vena pick up the phone.

Vena!

The scene changes back to Vena who's following Oliver.

Oliver stops in a clearing and turns to face Vena's direction.

"How long do you plan on following me?" A smirk crosses his face. She hesitates before walking into the clearance to face him.

"How long do you plan on running?" She studies him.

"You must be with the Church," he studies her back, his eyes gazing up and down her body.

"You're coming with me. You have a warrant out for your capture, or, arrest," she growls before beginning to open her purse to pull handcuffs out.

"Like I would give up so easily. You're out here all alone with me," Oliver begins to approach her.

"Don't get any closer!" Vena nearly yells.

"What? Why not? Scared?" He smirks.

"You're under arrest! Turn around and…" Vena starts but Oliver quickly pulls out a gun and shoots Vena in the side, sending her to the ground in pain. She lets out a shriek before trying to get back up.

"You shouldn't have come alone," Oliver approaches her and stands over her, the gun pointed at her chest. He crouches down next to her, putting the barrel of the gun against her body. Takeshi reaches the edge of the opening and sees the two. Before she can respond, or Takeshi can act, Oliver shoots her in the chest, right where her heart is. Vena lets out a whimper before she dies.

"Takeshi… this can't be real," Ren shakes her head.

"You don't have to watch this part Ren," Takeshi replies before studying her.

"Wh… what? Why?" She looks at him in confusion.

"This is where he dies," he can't look her in the eyes. He just looks back at the scene.

"Vena!" Takeshi screams and quickly rushes at Oliver. He grabs Oliver by the neck, forcing him to drop the gun as he tries to get Takeshi to let go.

"You're going to rot in hell you piece of trash," Takeshi growls as Ren approaches the edge of the clearing. Her eyes stop on Takeshi and Oliver.

"You are dead," he growls before squeezing Oliver's neck until it breaks. Takeshi drops him and reaches to grab Oliver's gun before picking it up, turning to Oliver who laid on the ground, and shooting him in the chest.

"Oliver!" Ren rushes out of the brush towards them as Takeshi drops the gun next to Oliver's dead body.

"What did you do? You monster!" Ren screams at Takeshi and shoves him away before turning to Oliver and crouching next to his body.

"Oliver," Ren whimpers, tears streaming down her face as she stares at the scene. Takeshi stays quiet as he stands next to her. His body feels numb as he re-watches the scene that's haunted him for years.

"He and the monsters he worked for killed many hunters who worked for the Church, and now, he killed her. I'm not the monster, he is," Takeshi growls in response before turning and walking over to Vena's dead body. He kneels next to her and brushes a strand of hair out of her face before carefully picking her up and standing.

"Why did you kill him? He never hurt anyone! You killed him you monster! Just like you killed her! You should just die!" Ren screams as she turns and rushes at Takeshi with a knife in her hand. She stabs Takeshi in the back as her breathing shakes. Takeshi slightly twitches before taking a step forward, the knife still in his back. Ren stands there, a bit caught off guard as to what all just happened.

"We're, I'm, leaving," Takeshi speaks quietly before continuing to walk into the forest towards the church, blood dripping down his back and onto the ground.

"I'll find you and kill you! You can't hide!" Ren screams after him but he just disappears into the forest.

They come back to reality where they're still standing in the classroom. Takeshi removes his hands from Ren's face before letting out a small sigh.
