I look up as my eyes meet the dark clouds gather up in the sky. A unknown feeling start build up deep inside me. My feet hasten towards the train station to meet my childhood friend's return.
I slow down panting when something struck my eyes, a huge amount of smoke surrounding on the area where I supposedly meet her.
I walk closer and closer inside the station where I see people in chaos. They rapidly run and try to get away from the station. My hands start to feel cold as I look around, wishing for her to be alright.
I start to roam around while the people keep passing through me. My heart starts to thump fast as if it would burst out of my chest.
I couldn't even think straight. My minds filled with negative thoughts of what could have happened to her.
When I took a step near the train, where she's supposedly riding has been completely devastated like it has been rampaged by a pulverizing bomb strike which damages the whole train that created a wild fire in the place.
I stand there while trying to process everything what I've seen. The view of a burned place where no one was left, not even a person. The people were evacuatung immediately out of the place. While I stand there unconvinced, "I know she's still there!"
But in the back of my mind spoke to me, "She's gone and you can't find her anymore." I've known that I'm to late.
But I didn't stop to continue to find her that she's still alive in this tragedy.
I walk towards the rail side near the burn trains. "I know she's still there, Okay!" convincing myself, "Evony!!" I cried out.
"Hey! Kid, it's dangerous out there!" somebody said behind but I didn't listen and continue to walk on the fiery place.
I pause when my eyes caught something on the ground, it was her hat lying on the ground, my gift on last her birthday. The last time she celebrated and now she's gone..
It was left on the greasy ground. "Evony..." My voice crack as I reach her hat on the ground, "I'm sorry." She's not here anymore. The only person I'm holding on is now.. dead.
The sky pour out a heavy rain like a cry of a grieving soul in the night.
That day ended with an injustice death to the once we love. Many out there were broken to the sudden loss of their love ones. Also, I am even one of them that seeks fairness for their injustice death.
I look up to the heavenwards and seek hope in the sky. My tears fall like rain drops in the night sky, crying in grievance while bending my knees on the ground.
In that night, I realize how unfair and ruthless the world can be. People come and go in the world to live and die. Some may live their life but not living a life, and some may have chance to live but they live with an injustice life.
On my mind, I have nothing but only to stand out and seek the true equivocator in this inhumane crime.
I must find who's behind of the injustice crime of these people and to the dearest person whom I lost in this catastrophe.
soon I will find the truth...

In that night, the crime happened on Thursday 5:30 sharp in London, Melbourne Train station. An illegal explosion attack to a unknown assault.
They say that murders are everywhere as well as the corrupt liars existing next to us.
Silently, creating unlawful crimes...
Will you be able to face those?

It's been years since the incident happened. Still I'm living on this earth but not living a life on earth. Just like the others who are still in pain while continue live their asses, while trying to figure out what's their next move?
Without her my life's colorless. The person who's been with me for such a long time, I can't forget... Evony.
She's my best friend, but she's more than a family to me. She's the only one who's there for me in every moment, the only one who knows my thoughts.
It's hard to forget the person who you dearly love the most. But for me, even if it's painful I will never forget her because she's the reason how I learn to live. But now is different.. without her.
I have been having a hard time to keep going and trying to live a life. But the sorrow of her unwanted death..hunts me every night seeking for her justice.
My memories of her flashes back in my mind and it breaks my heart, because it reminds me that she's long gone and she will never come back. But deep in my heart I will treasure her forever...
'One day... I'll find justice to your death' I said looking at the morning sky.
I close my eyes and feel the cold breeze lingers at my skin, while I savor the sweet smell of cinnamon in the bakeries made think of her favorite pastry.
While walking on the street, I remember Landon's quote in my favorite novel 'A walk to remember' that love is like a wind, you cannot see it but you can feel it...
I will always love her even if she's not here beside me anymore. I stop when I reach the waiting shed and wait for a bus.
While waiting, I look around and try to think some positive thoughts that this is a great day to work again.
My gaze went back when the bus stop near my spot. The door open and a guy came out wearing a dark cloth.
I stare at the man but his face's covered with the hat he's wearing.
When I walk towards the bus the man bump my shoulder. I stop my when I felt the guy stop for a moment.
"Sorry miss." He said in a hoarse voice while swiftly walking away before I could turn by back.
I was about to go after him when the bus driver called me to climb a board.
I move inside the bus and look for the guy in the bus window, but the guy already disappeared.
My mind wonder about suspicious actions of the guy as I sat on a chair near the window.
When I steady myself in the chair I'm sitting, In front of me I saw an unknown letter that is stick in the side of the bus chair. I remembered the suspicious guy who left in the bus a while ago.
Before I could think twice, I took the letter and put it inside my pocket. While riding the bus, my mind reminisce about my past.
Things change as my life goes on the path I take each day. It was hard without someone you can hold on and make choices on your own. Each day have pass, the life I've always wanted was far different from my past life.
My family migrated here in London England since I was 5 years old, and the best thing that ever happened to me was meeting my childhood best friend Evony. She's a pure british and at first I really don't understand her, until month's pass we get close to each other.
In time's of sadness, she's always there to comfort me when I am alone crying in grief, as I loss the ones I love in that plane crash.
We were suppose to celebrate my birthday in that day while I was happily waiting for their return. But those bliss of happiness that I felt change into a grief of sadness in that night. My Aunt came in our house with a teary-eye.
"Calie..." she called me in a croaky voice.
"Aunt!" I call-out of her with a smile on my face. But hearing the sound of her voice, sensing something not right.
"Aunt... is everything alright?" I asked her worriedly while holding her arms as I look at her teary-eyes.
"Cal... I'm so sorry" she cried hugging me on my shoulders.
"your parents won't come anymore, their plane crashed.. I'm so sorry." she said in an audible voice.
In that night, I was severely broken but someone with a serene comforting arms came to give me hope to rise again.
"Calie...it's okay now. You're not alone." she said while continue hugging her from behind.
"Thanks... Evy, For being here with me." in a heavy voice I sniff from crying.
"It's okay Cali... this pain will pass someday."
But that pain didn't pass because now she's gone in that explosion. She was the only one I ever had since my aunt move out here in London. Now, I was left alone with my Uncle Gorge while I continue my Junior highschool degree here in London.
I was having a hard time in those passed years. Going to school without her was the hardest thing that I had survived. But I was able to continue because of her I reached college.
I know that I wasn't alone because she always there in my heart to guide me, and in that time was my first step to seek for her injustice death. When I entered myself in this new step. I prepared my myself that no matter what happens, I will seek the one who caused it all.
Death may not rise from its grave, but truth will reveal itself beneath the lies of the word.
When I entered my college degree the flaw of my life is same as it use to be. Facing my life in order to survive this inhumane world.
But things change as I have known him as it all started in that one school project.
In that one morning, Ms. Benett was assigning partners for the research and reporting project for our second semester lesson in criminology.
Ms. Bennett was calling the list of partners for our new project.
"Beckham and Johnson..."
"Samuel and Robin... and the last partners will be.."
"Belmont and Griffin."
When my name was called I look a my left side and I was taken back by suprised as my eyes met a deep mysterious obsidian eyes.
The deep obsidian eyes of Nigel Icarius Griffin.
"So that's all for today class, good bye." our teacher said as she bid goodbye leaving our class.
But I was still mesmerized by this mysterious eyes. He stood up made me wake up from my senses when he turn to leave me behind. He walk away not even bothering me about our project.
What? Just like that? How dare him! I stood up and go after him.
"Hey!... wait up." I said in a breathy voice. Running after him made him stop from walking further.
"What do you want?" He grimly asked. His voice sound gravelly and he didn't bother turning head to meet my gaze. What's with his guy!?
I fazed by the intimidating aura that surrounded him. I cleared my thoart as I straightend my pose while giving him a stern look.
"I want to know what's your plan in our research?" continue bracing myself behind his back.
"Meet me at the library after class." He answered while turning his head to meet my gaze in his deep deadpanned blue sight.
After, he turn his back and continue walking away.
When the bell ring, I went straight to our school library and soon as I entered our library there I saw him reading a book. I move towards him silently and sat at the opposite chair in front of him.
While I sit on the chair, he just continue reading his book as if I wasn't in front of him. I took my bag and take out my book, and lay it in the table and I broke the cold silence.
"So... where do we start?" asking him cooly not minding the cold atmosphere that's surrounding us.
"Read your book first." He said in a cold tone not bothering to look at me.Ugh! What's up with guy again!?
We've been doing some readings for half an hour already, the silence between us and the cold atmosphere is so unbearable.
"You know I was thinking we should make some notes then tomorrow we'll make a file about-" I start talking about my plan but he eventually cut me off not letting me finish my words.
"Just focus on your topic then give me your notes I'll be the one making it and we're done." after he said that a loud noise of thunder roar along the pour of heavy rain outside.
I look around and notice that there's only few students that are here inside the library. I advert my gaze outside the window and saw darkness reign as it pour rain in the night sky.
I move my sight to the person beside me who's collecting his stuffs so I do the same thing and arrange my things inside my bag.
After, we walk a head towards the University's gate and went outside. When were outsids he took his umbrella and left.
Seriously he just left!? This guy is really a gentlemen, my gad! He just left me under this heavy rain.
I sigh deeply watching the rain pour out heavy as I look at the guy who left me here pass through the heavy rain.
I lift my hand to feel the raindrop in the sky outside the waiting shed. Maybe, the rain will take too long to stop. I need to heed back home, Uncle Gorge might be worried about me.
I sigh as I took a step forward and dash through the heavy midst of the rain.
Unfortunately, a strong wind blew that made me let go of my portfolio I'm using as an umbrella.
I groan in annoyance. Why do I have to be in this kind of situation!? The papers inside my portfolio is now damp in the rain even my notes for our research. This so stupid! Really Calie Reagan? when did you become stupidly clumsy today!?
Now, I'm soak with rain as I try to pick up my portfolio on the ground. I suddenly stop when I felt the rain stop dripping behind me. I raise my head and saw the person who just left me awhile ago.
None other than Nigel Icarus Griffin who held his umbrella to stop the rain. He look down on me with his piercing obsidian eyes. For a couple of minute, I felt that our time stop when our gaze meet.
In that time, I'm deeply fascinated wtih his deep mysterious obsidian eyes.
Underneath the stormy rain, a unknown feeling start to build up deep inside me..
Will I able to figure it out?
