RAVE'S POINT OF VIEW: MEMOIR? (OR NOT?)
I slowly open my eyes to sunlight relentlessly flooding my face.
I shield my eyes while sitting up, then I look around after my eyes have adjusted to the sunlight.
-I am presently in a grassy field; but how did I get here?; Have the Screenings ended-,
I turn to look for anyone around,
"Oh you're awake…"
A vaguely familiar voice jolts me out of my oblivion.
I turn in the direction of the voice,
-A woman?-,
I try to figure her facials that are blurry,
"I'm so happy…" she gushes as she embraces me with a rush.
-I am utterly confused-
For some reason, I considerably warm into this embrace.
"Just stay here forever with me Rave…" she whispers quietly into my ears, her hands running through my hair
-Her voice is soothing and comforting all at the same time-
I am relaxing into this comfort when;
A banging ache suddenly hits my head and with it comes the blood stained memories of my parents, my family, my village. -All ruined by the system for absolutely no reason-
I jerk away from her embrace;
"I can't stay here with you…not until I'm through with my revenge",
Even though I can't see her face, I feel her staring at me;
"But I can't let you leave" she whimpers
The scenery suddenly begins to gradually morph from a pleasant meadow to a dark and foreboding arena.
She is uplifted to a throne
-Entirely constituted of skeletons?!-
Her aura darkens.
I decide not to panic, I look up at her confidently;
"Why don't you want to let me go?" I question in a barely controlled voice.
She snickers loudly;
"Because you're dead you fool…"
RAVE'S POV END.
CAMADA'S POINT OF VIEW.
"I never said that the fruit would certainly revive him"
Yal mutters in a subtle tone,
"Infact…there are only two possible outcomes to the effect of the fruit; it could either make the situation better or…" he pauses guiltily;
"...worsen it…",
I stare at Rave's lifeless body.
-Why do I feel so sad?; I had absolutely no special connection with this guy except perhaps that…-
"Did you by any chance know that he was dead all along?" Taki asks Yal solemnly ,
"Of course I did…I've been carrying him!"
Yal snaps at her,
"So you knew he was dying" she blurts out furiously
-Why is she so angry?-
"There's nothing I could do" Yal stutters in defense;
"What do we do with the body?" Sesugh questions.
"Throw it away…obviously" Yal interjects,
Taki snaps as she smacks Yal's face visiously;
"You can't even think of something better like burying him even though it was saving our lives that got him in this condition in the first place!" she yells,
She sighs her and composes herself;
"…we have two more days left in this place…we could wait to hear the final verdict of his health once we finish the test and leave this realm" she adds,
Yal frowns;
"And carry around a dead body?... you've got to be sick…I vote for leaving him here!" Yal pronounces,
Sesugh sighs heavily;
"Me too" he mutters.
-For a guy that carried around the dead bodies of his teammates, I was looking forward to more passion; well I guess it's because it's Rave anyway-
"Well…Camada…what do you vote for"
Yal calls to me snapping me out of my thoughts,
I freeze
-Of course I vote for…-
"Let's go with him"
CAMADA'S POV END.
NETYISHA'S POINT OF VIEW.
I wake up with a start, and look around in alarm.
-I had an odd dream about the Hooded one, no, not a dream; a nightmare-,
I rub my aching head and stretch, my feet feel a clutter of books as I get down from my bed.
I look out the window and the discussion I had last night with Most Reverred Yulia is replayed in my head,
-She expects great things from me, eventhough I'm a Dark-core-
I smirk to myself;
-I am still amazed at the impromptu decision the Most Reverred took to make me head of this project-
I sigh heavily as the realization of
-The extra responsibility downs on me-
I clench my fist while self-proposing to do my best,
-Surely I will require advice; and where better than to get that than the nightmare himself?-
The Hooded one.
NETYISHA'S POV END.
