δákρυα leaned in, her lips brushing against Zane's forehead in a soft, gentle kiss. The touch was tender, a silent promise of her love and support. Zane's eyes fluttered closed, his heart swelling with emotion as he savored the warmth of her lips. The kiss was a whisper of comfort, a reminder that they would always be together, always
As they parted, Zane's eyes shone with tears
Zane: I love you, am always gonna be here waiting, I'll never leave you
δάκρυα smiled,
δάκρυα: I'll come back, I promise
(with a final glance,δάκρυα disappeared into a secret passage, leaving Zane waving goodbye, tears streaming down his cheeks. The clock on the wall read 21:56, the ticking seconds echoing through the silence.)
Outside of the Sebastian mansion, δάκρυα walked along the deserted road, her phone ringing in her hand. She answered, her voice barely above a whisper
δάκρυα: mom
χαρούμενο τέλος: hello δάκρυο, were are you now
δάκρυα: I just left the house
( her eyes staring straight ahead in the darkening landscape.)
χαρούμενο τέλος: let meet at the place we first met
χαρούμενο τέλος: were going to make it out, we got this, wait for me, okay(her voice filled with determination.)
δάκρυα held the phone close to her ear, her heart clinging to her mother's words.
δάκρυα: ok
χαρούμενο τέλος: This line will be unavailable soon, so don't bother calling. I'll see you soon, δάκρυo.
The line went dead, and the silence was oppressive.
χαρούμενο τέλος's voice was laced with exhaustion and relief
χαρούμενο τέλος: not long, now
In a dark room, χαρούμενο τέλος exhaled slowly, a man's voice echoed through the shadows, his face hidden by the darkness. "Found you," he said, his razor-sharp teeth glinting in the faint light. χαρούμενο τέλος was about to turn around when something moved towards her with incredible speed, and everything went black.
…...
She jolted awake, she turned on her phone revealing the time: 1:57
마음: (noticed her concern)are you waiting for someone
δákρυα nodded, her voice barely above a whisper
δάκρυα: ya, my mum
마음: (expression softened) looks like she's not coming any time soon, (looks at her)
*****
δάκρυα narrating: As hell gates flew open, pouring disaster upon the earth. Chaos and destruction engulfed the world.
δάκρυα ran through the mayhem. Her heart pounding in her chest as she ran amidst the devastation.The ground trembled beneath her feet as she ran, dodging falling debris and leaping over cracks in the ground. The air was thick with smoke and ash as she pressed on.
****
Rain pouring heavily
δάκρυα raced back to sebastian house, her heart racing with dread. She spotted a narrow crack at the back of the house and squeezed through it, she was met with a devastating scene Her mother's lifeless body hung motionless, her hands tied above her head. Sebastian's bat swung one last time, striking her mother's stomach with a sickening thud that seemed to echo through the air. δάκρυα scream travelled through the air as she frantically rushed towards her mother from the distance she stood far from the scene. Sebastian nonchalantly donned his jacket, his face a mask of indifference, and walked away, seemingly oblivious that his daughter had witness such a gruesome scene
As a thunderstorm struck, breaking the chain that was used to tie χαρούμενο τέλος, releasing her lifeless body as she slumped to the floor, and a massive fire erupted, engulfing the building.
δάκρυα cover with blood and ash running through the burning flame calling out to χαρούμενο τέλος by repeatedly calling out "mum", then we see χαρούμενο τέλος lying on the floor covered in blood unable to move, her eyes were opened but immobile, she laid there like a lifeless body
A drop of blood rolled down χαρούμενο τέλος eyes then tears started to gather at the corner of δάκρυα eyes, burning her skin (eye lid) as it stayed there unable to flow down as she sealed her eyes before it flow down her skin, burning both her eye lid and eye balls like acid.
δάκρυα screamed in agony as she held her mother, close to her heart
δάκρυα levitated above the ground body started to contort and her face showed the pain and agony she was going through, Suddenly, her chest burst open, releasing a flood of tears that suspended in the air as her skin was ripped from her body as tentacles like appendage emerged from within her , the tear droplet suspended on the air rushed towards her and gradually encasing her in a glistening circular tear bubble. The tentacle from her body attached to the tear bubble. on outside the tear bubble web like string in every part of the tear bubble were connected to the walls stabilizing the structure
The room was dark and silent, the outside chaos muted, only the sound of rain droplet can be heard as δάκρυα encased in a glistening, tear-filled womb.
*****
Five hours and some minute after midnight
As the building was in ruins, the roof gone, walls shattered like broken glass, and the floor crying out for help as magma surged out of it. But the place where δάκρυα lay was left unaffected
Moment later,
마음 raced inside, steam and smoke billowing out. He saw δάκρυα laying on the floor cuddled up like new born in the womb, nude and wet, Her new skin glistened with a subtle sheen in the dim light, her body vulnerable and exposed as her movable mark emerged from the darkness of her underarm to her hip staring at 마음 unwavered with it light gray coloured iris. 마음 swiftly draped his jacket over her, his movements driven by a mix of concern and modesty.
As δάκρυα regained consciousness, fully aware of her condition. she wonder the weight on her body as she realized a piece of clothing was on her body, her eyes trailed the room as it was met with figure sitting in a slightly far distance, asleep. It was 마음 , she hurriedly put on the jacket and zipped it. the length reaching just above her knee.
마음woke up from his sleep. He wipes his lip with the back of his palm. The sleep in his eyes slowly cleared as his gaze trailed upwards suddenly met with δάκρυα stare only an inch away from his, he jolted;
마음: Jesus (he whispered, panting)
δάκρυα blinked rapidly in innocence
마음: are you okay (concerned)
As he stood up from were he sat, worried and afraid as he checked to see if she was hurt
δάκρυα: I'm fine (her voice barely audible)
As she lowered her head, closing her eyes and clenching her jaw. 마음 held her hand, they both stood up leading her to the front of a bolder they saw a figure underneath a white cloth
δάκρυα: (her voice barely a whisper, with the lump in her throat) mom
마음 lifted the cloth revealing χαρούμενο τέλος face, δάκρυα fell on her knees as if her legs had gone weak with her bleg lowered
δάκρυα: he'll pay for this mom, I swear it
δάκρυα stood up
δάκρυα: could you help me with something
마음: any thing
..…
δάκρυα running to the main house upon entering the house it felt quiet too quiet , as she search every crook and cranny of the house, a sound echoed through the wall the sound of an helicopter blade about to take off δάκρυα hurriedly rushed to the hanger on the roof top.
Zane, his brother, and Veronica were already on board, donning headphones for communication
δάκρυα: Zane
(shouting on the top of her lungs, her voice laced with urgency while she ran)
Zane: δάκρυα, hurry
The pilot's voice crackled through the headset
Pilot: ready for take off mam
Veronica nodded, her expression stern.
Veronica: very well
Zane gaze fixed on δákρυα.
Zane: just a moment, my sister is coming
Veronica's eyes narrowed.
Zane turned to face his mother
Zane: we can't leave δάκρυα
δάκρυα three feet away from the helicopter, a Ferris wheel suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hurtling towards δάκρυα ,it struck her with a deafening crash, dividing the place δάκρυα stood and the helicopter
As they all shouted in horror, Zane eye widened he's horrified gaze was fixed on the Ferris
Veronica: get us out of here
Zane: mum,(Zane's face twisted in anguish.) δάκρυα. we can't leave her!
Veronica: din't you see what just happened, she dead
As the helicopter lifted off the ground
δάκρυα under the ferries wheel panting, then she slowly raised it off her belly.
Zane: wait look
δάκρυα running while the helicopter already on the air as she leaped up to grab Zane's hand that was ready to grab hers, suddenly a black colored creature with a grotesque face and skeletal hands, horrific to the eyes, emerged from the darkness of the sky flying with massive wings pushing δάκρυα back unto the building she leaped from. δάκρυα lying flat at her back, the creature revealed it slimy tongue licking δάκρυα on her lower jaw
When its tongue left her jaw a burnt mark can be seen on her lower jaw, δάκρυα in disbelieve of what just happened as she thought to her self ''am I hurt''. shooting noises can be heard the grotesque beast unblinking stare at 마음 pointing the gun at it, as he continued to fire the pressure of the bullet made the beast stumbled back.the beast charged at 마음, δάκρυα dragged her self from the ground(she was exhausted) and jumped unto the creature's back as it tried to shake her off.
δάκρυα had noticed as the bullet were shot at the creature it had no effect not even a scratch on it, she also noticed when the creature leaked her jaw it mouth was the only fleshy part it vulnerability as such she reached her hand inside it mouth as her hand went in direction of it throat she ripped it open from the inside out.
the beast collapsed and died, substances from the creature rapped around her wrist as her body absorbed it.
What was once her had returned.
She fell on her back looking up at the sky she raised her hand up as she gazed up at her hand it was burnt as tho she placed it in extreme heat as her hand slowly healed it self the mark of the burns were still very vivid so as the one on her lower jaw
δάκρυα's eyes remained empty, with her expressionless face.
*****
As she lowered her head, closing her eyes and clenching her jaw. 마음 held her hand, they both stood up leading her to the front of a bolder they saw a figure underneath a white cloth
δάκρυα: (her voice barely a whisper, with the lump in her throat) mom
마음 lifted the cloth revealing χαρούμενο τέλος face, δάκρυα fell on her knees as if her legs had gone weak with her head lowered
δάκρυα: he'll pay for this mom, I swear it
δάκρυα stood up
δάκρυα: could you help me with something
마음: any thing
δάκρυα: I can't bury her….(breathing heavily), I don't want to….(catching her breath) could you help me….. (as she exhaled) with the cremation ceremony
마음: sure thing
*****
δάκρυα and 마음 at the cremating hall, her mother's body before them as they placing χαρούμενο τέλος body unto the cremating machine, δάκρυα eyes were empty, her face pale.마음 there as he offered her comfort and support now she had no one.
δάκρυα's gaze remained fixed on the cremation machine, her mind numb and her heart heavy. She felt like a part of her had been ripped away, leaving a gaping hole that could never be filled.
마음's gentle touch on her shoulder brought her back to reality.
마음:δάκρυα, are you okay?(his voice soft with concern.)
δάκρυα nodded mechanically, her eyes still fixed on the machine.
δάκρυα:Yeah, I'm fine(she whispered, her voice barely audible.)
As the cremation process began,her eyes fixed on the flames engulfing her mother's body, the cremation machine hummed, and the flames danced, consuming χαρούμενο τέλος' body. δákrya's eyes never left the sight, reflecting the flames in her eyes. δάκρυα felt a surge of emotions well up inside her. She felt like she was losing her mother all over again, but this time for good and the pain was almost too much to bear.(as she sat there as tho she was lifeless)
But as she looked at 마음, she saw the empathy and understanding in his eyes, and something inside her shifted. She realized that she wasn't alone in her grief, and that 마음 was there to support her through it all.
δάκρυα:Thank you (she whispered, her voice cracking with emotion.)
δάκρυα:Thank you for being here for me, 마음."
마음's eyes filled with warmth as he pulled her into a warm embrace. (she did not reciprocate his hug, her hand were by her side)
마음:I'll always be here for you, δάκρυα
마음:(he whispered back). Always.
δάκρυα eyes looked as tho she wanted to cry, she placed her hand on his lower back, reciprocating 마음 iniciated hug.
마음 narrating: δάκρυα sitting here with no expression even in her eyes. But I see the reflection of the darkness that's consumes her soul, she is at her weakest. she has no true colour of your own (colour of her iris) as reflect what she sees within her.
