I ask her while showing her my arms and legs."See? I don't have any wounds, so don't worry, Clove. I'm fine," I show her my sweetest smile that I could ever give for her to feel fine."That was unexpected. Is there someone you know who will do this?" She asks after a while as she takes a seat on one of the beds inside the clinic where I am."I don't have anything in mind, Clo. And for the record, I don't think there's someone who wants to kill me. Maybe it was an accident you know," I shrug my shou

|DOC 03: DECK OF CARDS||AQUA LAVERDA|I woke up at exactly five in the afternoon. It was already starting to get dark outside which was why I decided to go back into the dorm.I can't find Clo inside the clinic so I assume that she's in her dorm now. It's not a problem for me. She also needs to rest after what happened this morning. I know she's quite stressed and worried about me and I want her to have a rest from that.I walk through the corridors. The school clinic is located on the right side of the school library. There are two libraries; one for the college department and one located in the Main Building.I walk with some students who have night shift classes. Though they are walking to attend their classes while I'm walking my way into my dorm.Dorm buildings are located outside of the school premises but it's just in front of

It's sometimes tiring, to be honest.That's what I am feeling right now. I have been answering all their questions, "How are you, Ms. President?", for three hours straight since I've crossed the gate inside of the school until I entered our classroom."You're too famous, Ms. President!" Sarcasm is evident in Clove's voice when she takes a seat beside me."You're just invisible," I nonchalantly say while her eyes widen with it."You're learning, huh? Where did you learn that kind of attitude, Ms. Aqua the oh-so-called Classy President?" I shot her a glare and she just laughs at me.Sometimes, I just want to stitch her mouth so t

Let's go!"Before we can even run, the sound of a gunshot ruins the peace of the place. The students started to panic and I can't just leave them be."Clo, you need to go first! I'm needed here! Just go!" I'm worried about her, getting hurt in the middle of this chaos."No! Damn it, Aqua. I said let's go!" I didn't listen to her and pulls two students beside me when I see two arrows are about to hit them."Ahh!""What's happening?!""Oh, my God!""Naraka, Sorcha! Protect the students!""Copy!""Aqua Laverda!

They helped me a lot that I wished, they'll stay with me no matter what."Don't I have some visitors Mom?" I asked her before we start eating.They looked at each other as if I can't see them.

|DOC 07: CLIFF| |AQUA LAVERDA| ××××× Morning came, I was already done taking care of my daily routine preparing for a breakfast with my parents. It was already winter season that was why I was wearing thick sweaters underneath my usual clothes. I also wore my dark gray beanie over my blonde long hair. I was fixing my shoelaces when I sensed my Dad's presence. "How's life so far, honey?" From combing my hair, I looked at my Dad who was leaning on the frame of my door in my room. "It was fun, Daddy! I got to meet a lot of kids around the village!" I excitedly told him about what happened to me the moment I met Clove and Morrigan who became my friends. Even that girl, Aqui who seemed to have bad blood towards me together with her twin. Loco, who always ignore me and just fixed his glasses all the time. His brother, Uno talked a lot with Clove like they were in their separate world where they were just the two of them. And Morrigan who keeps nagging and being sarcastic to me.

|DOC 08: HER DECISION| |AQUA LAVERDA| ××××× I don't know but I have a bad feeling when I noticed that her right hand was on her side. It was either she was wounded on that part or she was holding Clo on that because I couldn't find her around. I looked back only to be furious when I noticed someone's riding aback already escaping from the scene. I don't know if it was a boy or a girl but the hoodie was somewhat familiar to me. I didn't know what to think at first. If it was the one who hit us with a bicycle that caused me to stumble and be stepped on my left leg by Clo's bicycle or to think of a solution how will we get ourselves on the brink of death? "Aqua, help!" I was pulled back from my deep thoughts as I glanced at Morri who was struggling to grip the broken part of the barricade. It was already swaying and I was afraid, it will break because of the weight clinging onto it. "Wait! I'm coming!" I shouted back before trying my best to crawl out from my place. I was try

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

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

|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!
