Empty Space A DIFFICULT TASK
NADIE’S P.O.V.I used to go out and see people at night when darkness is everywhere.That is the time I felt safe.However, I never knew that there will be a day that I stand in the afternoon sky where the shadow of the trees hid me from the sunlight.I am not allergic to sunlight.It’s just that I live in the dark for too long that being under the sunlight gives me a foreign feeling.It’s as if I forgot the feeling of living with the bustling noise of the people, the honking of the cars, people walking on the street, chatting as if there is no tomorrow.I felt so exposed, that I was naked under the afternoon sun.But what can I do?My legs moved to step on the trunk under the wings of the tree leaves. This is the only thing I can do so no one will notice me.But why?Why are they going where a lot of people are headed?Can’t Hyria go to a place where few people come?I can not protect her if there are a lot of people.I sit when I saw Hyria in the crowd with Shier.They are currently
Empty Space EXCUSES
Hyria's P.O.V"Am I wrong?" All I can see is the mask in front of me as if it was looking right through me while hearing those thoughts.I was stunned. Somehow, it felt like a big slap on my face.I know that leaving that man is the most cowardly thing to do right now, however keeping him threatened me and comfort me at the same time. I don't know how he does that.But his hostility catches my attention and with that face of him. I shiver at the sight of that coldface.Yet, he surprised me with his adorable childlike innocent act.My guilt puts a weight on my shoulder while I was cooking for him. I can still remember his amazement and smile of satisfaction while eating the food that I made.I tried to teach him everything I know from the time I'm with him.I know that it is not enough, but what can I do?I was threatened by the fact that If I do not do this hastily then I can not do this ever again.Nadie was taken aback by the thought of Hyria.“You…”“You love him?” Hyria rolled
Empty Space THE NIGHT SKY
Shier's P.O.VIn the short time that I am in this world, I was amazed at how they evolved in the present day.I also confirmed things from a bunch of theories in the books that I read. One of those is the different aura of the human. When I visited the human world long ago, it was faint, almost that my kind didn't recognize it.The aura of a human represents a different kind of color however there are ways to recognize if people are having trouble or happy in their life.Happy and contented human tends to have a brighter aura while those who are having troubles have a darker one. Though it’s just a hunch base on their memory when I touch the shadow-like aura that lingers around their bodyWhen I am looking down and saw people. I am amazed that it resembles the sky above after the last glimpse of the sun. Where darkness spread in this vast land and only a few who is shining brightly despite the lights of the town.If this phenomenon happens in the past. There is no way that we are gonn
Empty Space SLEEP
“Ever since I was born, they said that I am unlucky. "My mother died by giving birth to me when she was perfectly healthy. Then my father’s business goes into bankruptcy and didn’t take responsibility or even care for me. At least that’s what my untie says.” When I open my eyes I saw the very man who approach me in the park. My eyes wandered and all I can see is a familiar place again, where everything is black. While he is sitting on the floor with those sharp eyes looking at me. If only looks can kill, I would be dead by now.However, if you are gonna look deeper his eye expresses desperation, anxiousness, and exhaustion. I am curious about it. What happens that you look very tired? It is as if he is ready to… “My untie, the third sister of my mother adopt me.” My eyes blink twice when I heard his voice. I guess my head wanders again.To my surprise, a big screen just pop up in front of me and I saw a familiar woman. The one who pushed the little boy earlier.“ Well, I guess
Empty Space STRUGGLE IS REAL
Nadie's P.O.VI wanted to hear her side, but our current situation made it impossible.My ear becomes sensitive.That time, I heard something fast-moving vehicle approaching our way.My eyes catch a glimpse of a bicycle moving fast towards our spot. In one swift move, we luckily avoid it.The bicycle crashed into the tree while the man who drove the bicycle jumped in time and rolled to the ground.“What the---” Hyria said in shock with her eyes wide openWhen the time she can move and realize what happened, the man is already standing up on the ground.While I discretely vanish into thin air and go into a different dimension. Luckily the last light of the sunsets fades.“Are you ok?” Hyria asked and walked towards the man. “Oh, I am okay.” The man said while brushing off the fallen leaves stuck on his shirt.Not long ago, after an accident happened. I heard a crack sound and saw a branch of trees that was about to fall at any moment. I move fast and push her away.“Whoa! Are you ok
Empty Space STOP RUNNING
HYRIA'S P.O.VShock is an understatement when I saw a pair of red eyes surround us.I know that I am unlucky. But I never thought that it might come up to this point.It's as if my unluckiness leveled up in a short span."They are not harmful, right?" Hyria asked Nadia.After that, they saw a little squirrel stumble on the branch of a tree and fall.But I never saw the body of the squirrel reaches to the ground.I can not help but swallow my saliva.Hyria showed me a paper with the words written as..."I guess it is."I look at the paper that is stuck in Nadia’s hand. The wind blew as paper struggled to be free from Nadia's finger.All I can think of is...Is that it?I mean, how are we going to escape from this mess.Do you have any plans?Can you do something?Just, please...Anything...The vein in my neck is already visible due to the pressure of expressing my thought. But I can not put it in words."I will go back to him, just please do something," I whispered with such urgency a
Empty Space WHEN YOU START CARING
NADIA’S P.O.V.I felt that my body was lifted in the air, only to find myself falling to the ground.My eyes moved while my body did not move for a second while checking the condition of my body. I guess the fall is not that high. Upon sitting on the grass, full of fallen leaves, I flinched when I felt something so hot under my pocket. I quickly grab my pocket while pulling out the hot thing inside it. Fallen leaves are the least of my concern all over my body, though it is quite itchy on my skin.I was surprised when I saw the disfigured fork that was stuck on the cabinet wall the other night. It is glowing as if the fork was on fire a while ago.I wanted to keep it because it was given to me by Shier. The male protagonist of this novel!I stop thinking for a moment when I remembered how I acquired it.Well, it is more of a threat. But anyway, it is still a souvenir. If I happen to get out in this world alive, I can brag it to my friends even if I will look like an idiot.Maybe
Empty Space A PROMISE
SHIER’S P.O.V.I felt proud that Cerez is in my arms. This time, I am the one who saved her from falling.She was even more beautiful in my eyes with my arms around her.I look like the hero I watched on the television the other day.However, her eyes look puffy. Little by little, the happiness that I felt fades as I saw a drop of tears runs into her cheeks.Then I remember the situation.I never saw Cerez cry before, but this soul on her body is always crying.“I lost my sight of you just for a few hours. How did you end up falling?”Without a word, She moved forward and wrapped her arms around me. While, her shoulder is continuously shaking.“I am sorry.” She said in between her sniffing and crying. I am still confused about the situation.However, I am full of tears right now.I don't want to eat anymore.Well, I can save it later, so I thought.Her tears began to glow and evaporate in the air.That time she pulled herself together and looked me in the eye.“From this day onwards,
