Chereads / Roses of Betrayal / Chapter 2 - Who even are you?

Chapter 2 - Who even are you?

Without any hesitation Kane started running back and the other two simply ran behind him. It doesn't matter if they are wrong or wrong, they truly care about her safety as a friend, princess and more. It actually has been a while since they all met up like a group ever since her house arrest, they have always tried to make time for her but in the end they were never allowed to meet her. But now that she has completely forgotten everything about them, they want to make new memories with her that she wont forget in the mortal realm and outside of it. Because they are her friends and because of that they love her as one by heart. And may no one ever break their sweet love friendship between them that is not only precious, but also very pure for all of them. While they are running, Amara was still in the forest at a lake where she saw Kane for the last time before he went off to help Mo Yue and Ryo. She patiently waited for all of their safe returns. She heard something on the bushes and suddenly Kane came out of it but not the path? Odd… And why was he alone? Where were Mo Yue and Ryo..? "Kane, are you all alone? Why are you alone?" She said worriedly and ran up to him making sure he was not injured. "They told me to go back and wait with you, I don't know why they changed their minds" He said with a sad voice. "Why didn't you tell them to come back with you so we could make different plans? I also told you this if they don't know any other options." She said angrily towards him. Amara was frustrated as she tried to pull her arm away from Kane, who refused to let go. He had just revealed that he had presented her idea to others, but they had refused to accept it. Kane had not wanted to let her down, but Amara could not help but feel disappointed at their refusal. Kane started to sweat a bit and looked around before grabbing her arm. "Tell me exactly what you think you are doing." She demanded of him and despite her multiple attempts to free her arm, Kane continued to hold on tightly, gazing into her eyes with a soft, crimson look. Trying to snap him out of his trance, Amara exclaimed, "Hello, Earth to Kane! Wake up from your daydream!" But even those words failed to get his attention. "Are you acting dumb or something? Please let go of my arm, Kane," she pleaded. Kane was taken aback and hurt by her words, and quickly released her arm. "Why are you acting as if I did something bad towards you? I was just spacing out!" he protested. Amara rubbed her arm and took a few steps back from him, letting out a weary sigh. "Even if you were daydreaming or spacing out, you should not have tightened your grip like that. You could have easily bruised me!" she retorted. Kane seemed surprised by her accusation, and Amara could see the hurt in his eyes. "Since when did you care about bruises?" he asked, his voice laced with bitterness. "Is that any of your business?" Amara replied, her voice firm. Suddenly, Kane attacked her, but Amara was quick to dodge his blow. "So, I assume you know who I am now?" he asked, scratching his head. "You made it quite obvious at the start. I could see that Ryo and Mo Yue have their own consciousness and bodies, while you only have a body but not your own consciousness. So who exactly are you?" Amara asked with a curious tone. Amara was not afraid of Kane hurting her, but she was interested in how he would react now that his cover had been blown. Slowly, Kane revealed his "real" form - an old demon man. "I honestly hoped I could stay in those other clothes forever. What a bummer that you made me change into this," Kane said with a sad smile. "For your information, I didn't force you to change into your real form. I only asked who you are," Amara corrected him. Kane seemed unfazed by her words. "What are you even going to do towards me now that you've figured me out this fast?" he asked with a hint of amusement. "Haven't you still noticed?" Amara replied with a cold voice. As Kane examined her, he noticed that her usual red eyes were different colours - one black and one red, shining in the moonlight. "Have your eyes always been like that?" he asked, dumbfounded. "No, of course not. I don't have heterochromia," Amara replied, surprised by his observation. Kane moved closer to Amara, but she pulled out her sword, feeling uncomfortable with his proximity. "Do not come any closer," she warned him. However, Kane did not listen and tried to touch her arm. Amara quickly blocked his hand and asked, "What are you even doing? Do you want to spar or fight with me?" Kane laughed nervously and replied, "Oh my, I wouldn't even dare!" He answered her playfully. Amara tried to take a couple steps away from him but then he suddenly grabbed her arm. "Do you not wanna know who I am then?" He asked her with a serious tone but at that moment he let go of her and quickly turned into his original Kane form. Amara could only quickly put her sword by her side and look at whatever Kane was gazing at. There was nothing to see but you could just feel someone watching your every move intensely as if they were trying to analyse her every move. "I guess we have to move our conversation to another time then?" He asked her in a polite manner. She could only look away and say: "Yeah whatever, go after it." And then Kane ran into the forest without hesitation. Amara however tried to make a spiritual connection between her and Alijah hoping it would go through but instead of reaching her she got to meet a different person. It looked like an assistance but it also didn't look like one. "Excuse me, do you know where Alijah is?" But when the so looking assistance turned around it was just Alijah in his original form. "Oh! Amaraa~ what can i do for you!" Just hearing his voice pronouncing her name made Amara feel disgusted somehow. "Right, so who chose those three boys?" Although she could have waited until Kane returned back to tell his identity, she would rather hear his background first and figure out why he is even with her here. "Oh I think it was your Father." "His highness? That's quite odd." Alijah looked quite confused at what she was saying. "If you actually think that part is weird then you would also think it's weird for you not remembering that I've already told you so." He said, crossing his arms. "Ah… I forgot!" Amara said, trying to back herself up. "If that's all I will be leaving." Amara didn't feel like directly asking the question anymore and didn't argue with him any further and said her goodbyes to him. When she brought herself to the human realm and slowly started to focus on the surrounding area, she suddenly saw "Kane" fighting two people. He is easily handling them with barely any scratches, while the other two were in full pain. But when he noticed Amara waking up and one of the two males' eyes had also been red for a while now without him discovering it earlier. He needed a mental and physical stop for a second and tried to add one plus one together. "What the he- '' Before he could finish that sentence he felt something grabbing his face with full force. "Shut up before I'll bring you back to your home-city." And then his head got smashed onto the ground. The two men were the real Mo Yue and Ryo! But wait why are they even fighting "Kane" to begin with. Scratch THAT why are Ryo and Mo Yue even in their true form everything is so odd about this entire situation!? "Okay. What is going on?" Amara finally asked Ryo who was standing in front of her body, he looked like he was about to collapse! She was only gone for 5 minutes??? Well okay for them it was more than just 5 but that shouldn't create such crazy chaos. "If I were you, you should ask that demon that was talking to you." He said angrily towards her. "Why are you even mad at me as if I did something?" She replied to him with confused feelings. She had to think fast instead of continuing asking what was going on, Amara decided to stop the both of them. She firstly was to take her eye back because it will slow down Mo Yue but not Ryo, he will be more difficult if he does not want to listen to her. But maybe a spell or trick could help? Well It's whatever we have no time to think about that! She swiftly took her eye back with force which made Mo Yue eye bleed but it was sadly not enough power to make him pass out, normally people would faint at the fact of this much blood loss even the Celestial Ones. She hesitated before taking her own body to throw at them. Ryo tries to stop Amara thinking it will not end well for her. "Your highness, would you just please think about the consequences instead of thinking of attacking them!?" Amara looked at him but instead of actually answering him she ignored him. She went up to them as she started to use her hands and a formation was created. Chains started to be created from out the formation, they were pitch black, "Kane's" eyes widened when he saw the colour. Then he noticed the use for them, it was to have them chained up, all three of them up for the better. "YOUR HIGHNESS WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS." Mo Yue growled out, screaming to be let go while both Kane's could only sigh in relief. "Don't you honestly see how badly injured you are at all?" Amara told Mo Yue but Amara was gazing at Kane with a glare which made him quite upset but in the end he was just grinning at her. Instead of her dragging all three of them she just teleported them back into the living room of their house. All three of them in a row in front of Amara while she's sitting on the couch with a quite angry expression. "Your highness.." Kane tried to speak in the silence they've created. "shut up." Amara swore at him. This situation is weird, so weird, seriously who even is he and why was he stupid enough to make a move on her body while she is unconscious. Men are so weird sometimes but there is a different issue lying on the hand, who is controlling his body right now. "Look honestly, Kane 2.0 or whoever you might be, just give up and simply end your own life, if you don't want to be here. I know you are able to kill yourself in this state so do it." The other two men are surprised at what she just said. "Are you suggesting that I should kill myself?! Are you even allowed to say this in your rulebook or whatever?? You have no manners at all! And my name is Micheal." "Well I didn't ask for it but thank you Michael!" "No you're saying my name wrong it's Miche-al" "Right sorry Michael!" Micheal sighed before looking gloomy. "Maybe killing myself should've been a better option." And so he kept himself by his word and killed himself, woohoo! The other two had disbelief in their eyes at what just had happened? Kane however woke up right after the situation, not Micheal this time. Thankfully he is going to be searching for a new body to take over for the time being. "Huh.. why are you guys staring at me like that?" Kane asked in a raspy voice. "Oh wauww~ You look just fine." Ryo said in a sarcastic tone to him. "Mind explaining why there was some type of wicked person within you!" He said… Again with a Sarcastic tone. Kane looked away with an embarrassed look on his face wanting to use his hands to cover it but they're still tied on his back by the chains. "Princess, when are you going to put these away already!" Amara was enjoying the mood and actually chose to have the idea of finally deciding to untie them from the chains they were in, those poor little boys didn't want to be tied up like this anymore! How sad. She was slowly starting to use the same formation she had put on earlier today. While Kane sighed, Ryo said "We're finally out of these chains… They were beginning to make me tired" He slowly did some stretches to make himself feel better. "Your highness how do you… why do you even…" Mo Yue wanted to ask her something but just kept stuttering over his words. "Maybe I should actually really introduce myself right? I am princess Amara however my title is actually Roses of betrayal of the unknown royal family Sicilia. It's my pleasure to meet you all, again am I right?" Shocked at the fact that she can still remember who she was and them but they had to confirm one last thing, could she remember her own past? "You're not sick are you? Amara if you're not then what is your past?!" Ryo said with a worried tone. "My past? Well if you want to remember it for yourself I can tell the story but it's quite an embarrassing story." They all nodded and went to sit on the couch.
