Chapter 5 - Forth Nightfall: The Fear

The first night that Yna got a chance to dine with Jessica and Jenica was totally ruined when the topic of her attending the same school with its daughter has been done, that angers the two. That ends their dinner date on that day and now she's alone in the night sky.

Yna sighs heavily as she stays watching when someone came in her vicinity and speaks right next to her.

"Why are you here, my Lady?"

'She called me 'Lady' once again.' She thought. "The dinner ends unexpectedly."

"As what I expected."

"What?"

Samara stares at her emotionless. "Nothing." She simply answered that gives chills down to her spine. She chooses not to comment since that she knew Samara would just answer in silence or rather in a riddle. "The nightfall never failed taking your attention." she suddenly speaks. "Una noche en la que su otra mitad se seconde del más allá."

"What did you just said?" Yna asked in confused but she keeps quiet. 'She's unpredictable.'

Samara's lips lift up to a half smile and it was new to her. "You'll be able to understand it once you despierto." she said before she walks away in silence.

… … …

'Despierto...' Yna repeatedly thinking about what Samara told her last night while waiting for Lizzy. 'What did she mean by that?' asking herself then shakes her head. 'Whatever!' She said to herself then finally saw Lizzy coming out of the gate.

"Hello!" she immediately approaches her with a smile even though she knew Lizzy is still upset on her.

"What now?" Lizzy sarcastically asked her then hisses and shakes her head. "You know, I can't stand you!"

"So, you forgive me right?"

Lizzy takes a deep breathe. "Do I have a choice?" she answered that she just laughs. "If only..."

"Come on! Let's go before you got late to enroll!" she said and pulled her away.

… … …

'Now that I'm alone, I going to miss this place.' she said while roaming around her former school when someone caught her eyes. 'Samara?' she quickly runs through her and called her but it took a minute before she responded.

"Oh, It's really you!" she said while catching up her breathes. "Are you done enrolling?"

"No," she simply answered.

"O...kay." then she made a smile. "So--"

"I'm going to transfer." Samara said that cuts her off.

"What?"

"You heard it. Is there something else?" Samara coldly asked.

'Oh, it's cold!' she silently commented before she forces a smile. "O...kay, good luck!" all she could say and without a word Samara just left that made her heavily sighs. "She's really weird! Oh!" rubbing off the cold wind through her arms.

… … …

"Hey! What are you doing here all alone?"

"Did you see Samara, Liz?"

"Where?" Lizzy looks around. "I couldn't see her."

"She's here but the thing is..."

"What?"

"She's going to transfer too."

"Really! Then that's fine!" Lizzy excitedly answered that made her stares back at her. "What? Didn't you find her weird? And you know that I fear her! She's like... ah! Just! She's really scary!"

"You're rude!"

"Come on! You also fear her. So, please don't pretend. And besides, this is not what we came here for, come on! Let's eat first before we go home, okay?" she just sighs then agreed since that she's already starving.

… … …

'Fear...' Yna silently speaks to herself as she waits for Lizzy. 'What was that I fear that I totally forgot my own dream?' she wonders then she heard this mysterious voice.

'Don't fear, my Lady. Everything will be fine and soon you will finally free from this oblivion.'

Yna quickly stands up to find that voice but a sudden movement made her feel dizzy that brought her back to her sit.

"Yna!" Lizzy quickly turned to her side as she puts down the tray with their foods. "Are you alright?"

She takes a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm fine it's just. Anyway, I think we shall eat now I'm just starving to death." 'Besides,' she simply looks around, 'who owns that voice?'

"Yeah, right! Let's eat first then go home." Yna heard Lizzy answered that brought her back to her and she just nodded as an answer.

… … …

"Are you really fine?" Lizzy suddenly asked worriedly while looking at her.

"Why?"

"You look pale."

"No I'm--" she felt her world suddenly goes around.

"Hey! I think we should take a cab rather than to walk back home." Lizzy suggested that she just nodded since she doesn't feel well. Then, Yna suddenly feels like someone is watching her from somewhere near, she looks around only to make her dizziness worst. And because Lizzy called for a cab, Lizzy didn't notice that she was about to fall, she tried to call for help but her voice suddenly vanish and before she knows it. Yna falls down onto the ground then she saw an unfamiliar though familiar shadow solely standing in front of her.

She tried to ask who it was but this someone didn't speak, it stands there and looks at her as she slowly fading into the dark. Before losing her consciousness she heard this person calling out her name, a name she doesn't familiar at all.

'Lady Relyna'.

… … …

A dream…

"We couldn't do anything," a woman's voice.

"We seal her," a man's voice.

"But it is dangerous."

"Yet, it will save her life. And you know it too."

He said that made her to think in silence.

"I cannot do this."

"Yes, you can. That is the only way."

The woman sighs heavily. "I don't want to add another more burden, though..."

"I know what you mean," the man said. "But as you said, we couldn't do anything about it. This one is more powerful than ever and we cannot risk the fact that we can save her."

Yna felt a soft hand touches onto her face.

"It may damage her soul."

"It may, but this is the right thing to do." the man answered so seriously.
