|DOC 09: ACES| |AQUA LAVERDA| It was a painful memory. The death of Arivona Clove Lascova as well as the death of Clover "Clove" Ari Cross. Funny how they have the same name and how they were already dead at the same time. Funny how I wish I'll never get to meet a person who has 'Clove' as her name. Because they'll just end up dead for some reason. Whether an accident or plotted. "Aqua!" I calmly glance to my right when a woman's voice reaches my hearing. "Morri...," my lips form a gentle smile as I watch her walk towards me. I was getting fresh air in the garden here in the dorm after getting discharged from the hospital three days ago when suddenly she called me. "Hey!" I gently greet her while tapping the space next to me as I am leaning my back at the tree behind. "Hi! You look like you've been carrying the whole world on top of your shoulders," she kids like she always does. "You mean, I look pretty much better after everything," I smile at her and rest my

|DOC 10: QUEEN AQUI| |AQUA LAVERDA| My forehead creases in annoyance when someone continues to knock on my door nonstop. I didn't get to sleep earlier because I was still coping with the new environment and atmosphere of my new room. I was like, I slept around 0130 in the morning! Furrowing my brows, I open my eyes. "Ms. President?" As fast as the lightning flash through my eyes, I get up from my bed which causes my head to ache a bit but I didn't mind it. I caress my arms as I feel cold after hearing the voice of the man who's knocking on my door. "Y-Yes?" My voice is kind of hoarse because I just woke up from less than two hours of sleep. Dang, it's only three AM! What's their problem?! "Gun asks us to go to the meeting room downstairs. You only have five minutes to prepare, Ms. President," blinking my eyes, I can only hear his footsteps fading in my ears. Meeting? At three AM?! Crazy. I grab anything that I can in my closet as I am running out of time. After exact

|DOC 11: HANDKERCHIEF| |AQUA LAVERDA| I look around the Campus and watch how the students are totally into the preparation for the School foundation next week. After the incidents, the HeadMistress announced that classes will resume again and this day is that day. They all looked busy while I, on the other side, promptly look around the school to see their progress and if ever they need help from me. And before I forget my plan for today, I better get going. I bow my head a little bit whenever students greet me as I pass by them. "This day will be tiring," I say to myself as I crane my neck side to side. I went out from our dorm as early as five AM because I do have some paperwork to do that I needed to check before I can proceed on checking the students with their booths and all. I knock three times when I reach the HeadMistress Office. "Hey, Ms. President!" As usual, Ms. Rose is the one who greets me. She's currently busy in front of her computer yet she manages to greet m

|DOC 12: PEACE IN CHAOS| |AQUA LAVERDA| I'm already ready to sleep yet I seem not to get to sleep early as I thought. I heave a deep breath and walk towards the veranda of my room, carrying my handkerchief that I've lost not too long ago. I savor the cold air that's passing through my skin as the moonlight strikes me. It's so serene that my thoughts are ruining the vibes of it. I mean, I want to feel at peace and not think that much because things are already messed up for me. I can't even take a break from thinking about a lot of things. "Why does it have to be her?" I ask myself and look at the entrance gate of the Dorm. The only light in there is from the streetlight, following the path towards the school. I squint my eyes when I notice that something is moving around the bushes, near the gate. I immediately hide and blend in with the darkness when the person looks in my direction. I don't know if he or she can feel my gaze that's why he or she looks in here but that

|DOC 13: CONFERENCE MEETING 01| |AQUA LAVERDA| "Hi, Morri!" I greet my friend who's sitting on the couch of my office. I put my handbag on my table and walk towards Morri who's looking at me, weirdly. "What's wrong with you? Did you hit your head on the wall?" She asks but I remain silent and sit beside her. She automatically raises her hands when I side-hug her. I roll my eyes when she did that. "Nothing's wrong with me, Morri. Do you want me to dwell in pain for losing Clove?" I casually ask her. I feel her body stiffens at the mention of it. "Tsk. Either way, you're weird," I smile and close my eyes and savor the moment that I'm hugging her. "Whatever, Morri. Just let me hug you, okay?" I might become busy these coming days because of the preparation and it'll lessen my time to spend with her. So, I am saving the moment but she has to ruin my moment when she shoves me away from her. "I looked over your paper works on your table earlier. I can say, you need to mov

|DOC 14: CONFERENCE MEETING 02| |AQUA LAVERDA| The tension is as thick as my eyebrows can be when I put makeup on them. Kidding. The tension is freaking suffocating. Why do I have to be with these creepy and intimidating people in the first place?! I can hear the students muffle voices because they've been whispering in each other's throats while looking up at us here on the second floor of the Cafeteria. Well, we're only the ones who's occupying the whole floor because I don't even know why did they choose this place for the conference meeting when they can use the damn school Library! Come on, it's so hot in here! Kidding. I can already feel the sweats on my back. "What is this all about?" I raise my head a little bit and glance at the person who suddenly breaks the suffocating air around us. It's no other than, a Queen's member. Queen Aqui Darragon. Tsk. She doesn't suit to be called Queen in the first place. Kidding aside, I secretly gulp and lean towards Morri on my

|DOC 15: SUFFER| |AQUA LAVERDA| We're walking down the corridor back to my office. After the talk in the cafeteria, we all continue our lunch that I haven't really enjoyed doing so, and now, I'm hungry as hell. "You have the time to swallow everything up Aqua," I sigh when Morri starts it again with her sarcastic remarks. "That's too much!" I complain like some kid on the streets when being bullied by other mean kids. "Says by the one who's hungry on the run," she says while shaking her head. I roll my eyes and pull off my arms from hers. "Whatever Morri," I snort as I walk past her and leave her in the middle of the corridor. The conference drains me that even though I think I ate that much, I still feel hungry. Students are now back to their businesses. Some go back to their rooms to clean and prepare for their booth's decor. While some are too serious with the preparation they managed to do their booths fast and well. I'm craving chocolates!

I just have to find my silver chain bracelet that my Mom gave me last Christmas Eve. Oh, remembering it now, December is coming. I can't wait to shop for gifts for my loved ones. "This is a serious case Aqua," I immediately look at her while I go through the things on my table. I think I left it here yesterday. It's very important to me. "How serious?" I ask while trying to look at every part of my table because I have a habit of just leaving my things either in a box, on my table, in the drawer, etc. Now, I regret doing so. I can't find it! "Very. It's about the case yesterday. Someone left this note inside my locker," hearing what Morri says, I abruptly look at her, down to the piece of paper she puts on top of my table. "Really?" I ask her. Suddenly feels like the paper is some kind o

Love, Cie. ~×~×~×~ |AQUA LAVERDA| "This is so tiring," Tatiana deeply breathes out as she slumps hard onto the large sofa inside my office. She grabs the small pillow placed in there and hugs it as if she really needs something to hug with. Sorcha was with someone that I supposed, she was with the man I bumped on the stairs a while back. I don't know. I was only leaning at the glass window here in my office as I watch some DOCs roaming or resting around the room while having a glass of water in my hands. Aqui's with Loco and the others. I just give them the interrogation part because I'm as hell as tired as them already. Morri? I've seen her earlier in the corridor outside when I was busy sightseeing outside the glass window. The darkness over the horizon is quite calming for me. The ones who are with me inside the room are Tatiana, Gunreigh whom I thought would come with

"Focus on taking those assassins down, Chara. Don't mind him, he's my business to handle," seriousness laced on my voice and I can't help it. When I'm in this kind of situation. my other self that they don't know eventually comes out when needed. And today is one of those times. "Whoa, chill! You need not be so hot right there!" I shake my head as I sense her presence fading on my side. I release a sigh and neatly fix the sniper on its safety bag before getting up from laying on my front body down. "I'll go down. Help them out from here, okay?!" I tell her with a bit louder voice because she's on the other side of the rooftop, firing her arrows as well as her gun. "Got it- damn! That was close!" I shake my head as I hear her curse to someone on the field, I suppose. I didn't expect that she has t

The Laviente's Mansion. "Shh, baby. It'll be alright, hm? I'm here, don't be scared. Your brother is here," crying, the little girl nodded her head. "Who are those bad people, brother?" She whispered, almost barely making a sound but it seemed like her brother understand what she meant to ask. He moved a bit to cover his sister as he tucked the hair behind her ears.

|DOC 20: DON'T DIE| |AQUA LAVERDA| "Morri...," I call her name. I fit myself in one of the branches of the tree I'm standing on while looking at her, trying to control her temper. Changed plans. We all went to the DOC rooftop only to be disappointed because she was not there. But she left a note. Saying, 'Meet me at the field'. Right now, I'm hiding my presence in one of the trees around the field. Senses in full alert if something happens. The others are also hiding. Tiana and Aqui are with Morri but they're just a bit far distance from Morri as she told them to. That's why I'm calling her name to make her listen to me but it seems like she's already eaten by her rage. Haven and Gunreigh are also hiding in a tree-like what I did. The difference is that they're hiding behind it. I, on the other hand, am hiding behind the thick leaves of the tree, standing in one of its branches. I don't know if Naraka knows we're surrounding them but I don't care anymore. "Morri, remember wh

Enjoy reading!| ~×~×~×~ |AQUA LAVERDA| What does it feels like to be in a tight situation where you don't know how to escape anymore? In which, you're already at the endpoint of your life that you have no choice but to surrender? You have to, but in the back of your mind, you're not yet ready. In such cases, why do some people need to do something that they'll regret doing so in the end? Some don't regret what they did. I want to understand them. Were they too desperate at that time that they had to do things and that, do they need to cross the line? Did they at least think of the consequences of their actions? Did they do it because they don't have a choice? But there are no such things as having no choice. You have a choice. It just happens, you choose the wrong way.

It's just for props or something and yea, about Naraka, I guess some of you had hints and expected that it's her because I just gave you 'Laviente' as a hint but then it's a woman so it's obviously pointed at Naraka because she's the only girl between her brothers, Uno and Loco.

I know it's hard for him but I'm glad that he did the right thing. Still, I feel sorry for him. "I'm okay, don't worry. Just worry about yourself, Aqua. I'm fine here," I exhale as I move my swivel chair right and left. I am facing the huge chessboard on the wall. Head resting at the edge of the chair while I'm carrying my phone using my right hand. My left-hand stays on the armrest of my chair. "Still, it's a hard decision for you 'Loco'," I

The kind of silence with overflowing tension. Some of the DCCs arrive at the School Library at exactly 01 PM. There are no other people inside but them. It's as if they are facing each other as enemies in a war. They are facing each other at a circular table. They are only the DCC girls. Aqua is sitting beside the Queen of the Aces. Gunreigh Chi Deluxxe, on her right. That's why she can't be put into place because she feels like she's not allowed to breathe whenever Gunreigh will be put beside her. "Why does your sister so serious and cold?" She then asks Morri on her left who's currently resting her back on her seat while her eyes are closed. "Ask her," the only words she says to shut Aqua off from talking to her. Aqua's eyes widen and her heart beats faster than usual. She clo
