I live the life so peaceful that I find it strange in a long run. It bore me and it is far from the fairytale I thought what makes the world is.
Mom and dad promise always they will protect me from harm. And I thought this perhaps their doing, the peacefulness that bore me?I can only smile the thought of them, and regrets the feeling of boredom for their way of protecting me from harm. I grow up without minding anything, yet here I am swayed by the idea of beyond fairytale.They are overprotective, and I have no say on that. But my grandmom think differently.“They supposed give you life not so boring such like this, dear,” she says and I gasped unconsciously. She is busy combing my hair, and I almost lost in thought while staring to his darkest eyes within the reflection of the mirror.“You easily shock to find how others behave, I see,” she added, her expression is one of strange. “In some way, that is normal, Altara, my dear. But what isn't normal is your way of thinking-”“Grandmom,” my ears rung, cut her off for the first time. My hands flow to my mouth, while my eyes widened. “Oh, where's my manners? Grandmom! Apologize-”“It's no wrong to cutting off the gibberish, my dear, it's fine.” Her expression soften, hugging me tightly after finishing the combong. She whisper longingly, “The world so wide, so big, and so many bad guys... like that of fairytale. So dear, you shouldn't think everything is so good and so peaceful, alright? You are 18, yet you only know the major of the world. How about the black side and the minor side that is so bloody, my dear?”“Blo...bloody?” My heart tremble. A thought suddenly occupied my mind, it's so blurry yet blood is the only thing that keep me drowning.I gasp for air, until the scene is shifted to the accident one time I cpuldn't forget on our way home. This accident end the life of one, and blood flood the area as expected.Grandmom look so worried, now as if I really not on my right mind. She sigh, smile gentle as she break from from the hug she gives me. She said, his eyes staring so deep as if shifted to somewhere, “You must remember that distant fragment, my dear, and you'll... be fine.”“Dis...distant fragment?” I stuttered, even worst this time. I'm not really like that, yet I am so confuse to Grandmom. I almost reply that I thought about the accident earlier and I don't want anything more than that bloody fate. But I couldn't find my voice. I have thought how peaceful my world, but that woman that time died because she walked the life of struggles, and even though ran way from those struggles, she's encounted an accident and end her life in a bloody way.I stop thinking about the accident and focus to Grandmom. I said as I hug her while I'm shaking miserably. “Grandmom... the City is cool. Why not I'll come with you this time?” I smilen, hide the strange feeling that dreaded me just now.Grandmom expression is the same as ever as she reply with a sigh, “You're not totally wrong, the city sure is cool, my dear. However, it is dangerous in the inside, and is filled with many accident. It fill with blood and is dangerous to you, my dear.”“Dangerous?” I felt the shiver through my spine as I thought for the blurry scene. My hand hold her tightly, and almost pleading at her, “Grandmom, just live with me here. Mom and Dad would happy to do that!”“You're such a pure hearted, my dear,” she only said after the longing in her eyes. “But I will to say no. Your parents will never let me stay...” she paused as my eyes widened to the thought.“They will never let you stay? Why?” I innocently ask even though my mind spun to the unbelieving. There's no way mom and dad will do that to grandmom!Grandmom touch my face, so warmth which made me sigh in relief. She said, “It's for the safety so don't think too much about it. I guarded the city, that's why it's a no, alright?”I blink to remember it. “You aree so cool, Grandmom! You were to shoo away the bad guys there, right?”“That's the only thing I could do,” her expression change, and I thought it is with hatred or something she well-keep into the deepest. “Be safe, my dear. Don't you dare go living to the city. It's no fantasy, it's so dark in there,” she can only hugg me behind those words, her heart beat so fast and her warmth especially is strange.Grandmom left after making sure I wouldn't thought of once again dreaming the city. Mom and dad returned and look at me with too much love. Mom tells me behind her smile, “I think it's time for you to understand the world, honey. Are you prepared?”“Understand the world?” I was taken aback so shocked yet felt the excitement in my heart rosing. Mom nod and glance dad as if for a support. I am confuse and curious, as if just a mere looking at each other eye's lead to understanding.“It's time for the other side of the story,” dad overturned when mom so emotional and look away. He reach the sofa with his bother face such mom. He looked down, and the so worry appear like a disease. He said just as he look straight to my eyes with determination, “It should have known by you from the very start. It should have been the best... and I can only tell you the part of the whole as the first step.”“Dad? Mom?” I felt the heaviness of my heart, as so the atmosphere is kind of off. “What's wrong to the both of you? Don't scare me please!”Mom hold me with her hands cold and shaky. She look.at me with reflection of deep worry, yet the love and care is the only thing I want from her.“There's good... and bad people. You know that, right?” she stuttered and gulped to find my reaction as somewhat unsighty.Despite the confussion, I nodded. I doubt the peace that I've been feeling until now, but I finally let go of it. Yet here they are trying to be mystery once again.Then here's a thought of bad guys; reckless people that harm other in an accident way, and stain the city with bloody sight!“It isn't just an accident, honey!” Mom said, so through what's in my mind right now. Her expression soften when I reveal the shock, she added with a sighed, “Bad guys plan their way to do bad thing, and it's no accident, honey. Their intention is plant chaos to the world, and to much people to suffer miserably.”I couldn't wrap my mind to the thing mom told me, and dad can only nodded while his expression is turn serious and impossibly joking. It's so unbelievable, yet no one will say it to my face this all just a joke! The atmosphere is heavy for that, and makes my heart as if stabbing by million of needles.The bad guys can do such a thing, stabbing through the people's weakness. But they plan through the unexpected?There's the whole story mom narrated I almost couldn't wrapped my mind about: The world so far from peaceful, and that's for sure. T fill the dread and danger in a way encompass everything, and it's no fairytale!The city, especially, is filled with secrets that unknown from the outside. Death is the common sight, far from accident such as hit by a car on the roadway.Even the hit of car is no way of accident!There are people who live their life on killing, and they are no ordinary. They are highly and authoricized in the society that no one could possibly put them in place, not even the City Government!That alone skip my heart a bit. How can the City Government unable to stop them? Are they that powerful? What's with the extraordinary?Mom perhaps is overexaggerated!She talk about bad guys as if they are above the Governmental Laws and even the Governmental Official itself. Even the army, soldiers, and the forces that fight the war of death and injustice couldn't possibly stop them!I couldn't believe it and just laugh inside my head. As stubborn as I am, how can I believe those gibberish? Grandmom is there to guard, yet it's so dangerous and couldn't even stop?!There's no way I would believe it without realizing it myself. The feeling I am betrayed by the peace I'm feeling, and the regrets of being bored just now. I feel like it' so big deal to keep away from me until now. The feeling I search to the lost, but when I took it back or found it, I realize the funniest of all. The lost is not even matter to begin with!Mom and dad eyed tightly, as if to study what I am thinking. I able to supressed my feelings, smile as if to accept wholeheartedly the story.Not that I don't believe them, but as I left alone in my room, I fell to the deepest. Then a decision came to mind, and I glance the open window with a remiscence. The bloody moon is so high in the sky, yet I'm beyond high. My eyes lingered to the distant, right at the location of the city. I stood up with determination shine in my eyes. My heart broke to the words that is shattered within my mind, the words of grandmom!“I'm sorry, Grandmom,” I whisper softly, the determination slowly appear in my face as I turned to the mirror that is suddenly crack slowly. “I'm unable to follow your words. I'm to search and see through myself the reality of this world!”I am shaken the whole way to the city. As the vehicle is nearing to the border, the once grandeur sight slowly disappearing. The city is beyond fairytale, and I can only gritted my teeth upon the dreaded that slowly rosing inside me.This is more so as I feel every eyes is on me, and they searching up and down while revealing the lustful expression. This didn't ends just in the vehicle extracting me to the city, but even at place that is bustling with activity; eyes are instantly rest on me.And the same expression is reveal!I only have my red dress in me, and not even good as my legs so smooth in white shown just a wind blows and almost wipe it away from my possession. Men can only look, but the way they did, they as if ready to eat me anytime they want, but gulp soundly I almost lost my sanity for the maintime.A weird thought come across my mind once and for all, and they arenot good to the health. The way these men look at me remind me of the creepy dog, saliva drip from its mouth
There's no doubt of it. For some reason, the woman plan the bloody thing and drench me to my own bloody end!I don't know when this starts, the feeling of certainty. My perspective of blood is change, and it's no accident! Words from my mother rung to my ears, numb my heart as I staggered backward miserably. The woman's sweets of a smile turn into a smile of mockery, and without words, she able to convey how naive I am, how I fall to her very trick!“I'm yet... ready to die,” I able to say, and for once the naivete is sounded so lame for me. I shut my eyes, feeling her every steps will takes me to the bloody end!“What's there to be ready?” The woman says, getting her way slowly. There's excitement in her every words, adds the dread that slolwy rosing in my heart!“You're crazy,” I murmured, and shovk appear in my face.She laugh so hard as she says, “Everyone is saying the same... Perhaps I'm really is crazy, huh?”I can only gasp, this woman is unexpected. Whether she really is craz
lI shivered when my body is acting strange to react for the words he said. I'm certain to nodded for his suggestion and let him do what he wanted, and that's incoud eating me!I force myself to distance away from him, but the space in this vehicle can't help but still feeling his very presence. I have to covered my ears just to disregard the thought, especially his laugher to my reactions. “You... Shut up, Monster!”He seems offended yet his forehead crest into confussion. “Monster?” he sounded amuse, causing my heart to skip a beat with his laughter. “Are you blind or what, woman? I am so good at anything, and every head will stretch to have a better look to my hotness, and some even scream to see me for the first time! So who you call a Monster, hm?” Surely, he bragged about his look, and I was left speechless by his full of himself. Here I thought he's a dangerous man, and all he must do is to intimidate a prey. But it seems like it isn't what he plan all this time, and it's dreade
Man in black stood steadily and lined-up in their post as the vehicle enter the subdivision. It's only just the sight of the entrance, and I can only guess how guarded the whole division are. They wouldn't budge as this vehicle entered, only they bowed their head in their somber face. I can't contain my shocked and amusement to everything, their expression so cool that their looks so creep doesn't matter at all. They are the most cool sight I've ever seen so far!“So many...” I murmured, my eyes can't get off the grand sight. “Wow. Are they some sort of bad gentlemen?”“Crazy,” a tired voice cut the fantasy.The pair of black alluring eyes what's meet my glare, and I can only look away. I said, a hint of pity, “They are so cool... How comes you don't compliment your men?” “Why would I low myself to complinent them? I'm not crazy as you, woman,” his voice cold as he said those words without blinking.“So you haven't compliment them!” My brows furrows and abruptly turn at him with a de
Saying the mansion is grandeur is understatement. However, what I'm notice the most is the softness of the sofa. There's something familiar in it, or am I just missing the home?Neverthless, the sofa excites me. Whatever the reason therein, I keep myself immerse to the feeling. This is my hope to not missing the home I left behind, and keep myself focus to the path I'm taking. But a deep voice shifted my attention to the reality. He said, “Live with me whether you like it or not. And whether you agree or not, here's my rule, woman,” he added while I'm busy analyzing what he even mean to the first statement.I blink curiously. “Whatever do you mean?”“It's just a simple rules,” he continued without batting an eye. Right now, he point to the stairs as he said, “That's offlimit for you to step, the second premises. It lead to an important floor, especially the above all,” the last statement fill with mystery and coldness in it.“Ah, don't worry,” I said behind my shivering. I reveal a we
My scalp numb. These bloody eyes are sure a monsters! But the thought that they are bad guys somehow relieve me from the numbness. “It's better to have them as a bad guy,” my thought as I slowly turn away. “My mom and dad told me about the bad guys, perhaps they are these monster-looking in the darkness. Grandmom guard the city for this kind of monster!”I feel the certainty upon the thought. The red dots has a distant, and I just look back as if they are some sort of strange species. I just glad to have the possibility that the bad guy is really the monster in the dark. And not the people populate the city!With that, I open the freeze with a relief in my face. I muttering, “What's store in here must be yummy....”But my world crumbled, my relieve go away. My mouth hung open as I staggered backward, my heart boom miserably. It skip a beat, and I thought I was cut off from even feel a thing. It's so shocking what's inside the freezer.“This...” I want to scream but my voice don't dare
“You dare broke the most important rule, hm,” his whisper sent shiver through my spine. I stiffened. “Almiro...”His hands reach my thighs and I shuddered. The feeling is strangely real and I can only look at him deeply. But his lips reach mine and a mint taste exploded out into my mouth. His warmth breath weakened me as he searching for more. “You stubborn woman,” he sounded breathelessly behind his kisses. “You will to receive my punishment. You have no fear, have you?”I feel like my heart skip to beat and my dress stripped off my body befofe I even found myself to resist. This dream so strange I can't even stop him from filling my body with his mint kisses. it heated to the point I can only close my eyes to feel his hard body bumping on my breast. His heat so good to my expose skin and add the sensation I thought is heaven. But then I can tell I am punish by him, but this feeling weirdly let him acces my expossion.“Almiro... Oh, Almiro,” I whisper just as I bitten his ears. He
I can't stop my heart from banging so hard. It as if being stab a million times. My tears rolled out and I barely hold the sob. But I couldn't immerse to the feeling, and blink to stop myself to cry out loud. I don't even know the reason of it, so how can I let myself crying my eyes out?“What's wrong with me?” My question echoed through the residents, stop the two from their serious conversation. Silence been one of the common, and my words just now echoed out. It's not that I'm loudly express my confussion, but strangely, this place is sensitive to an almost a whisphering sounds. I sigh and push away the confussion in my face. I slowly peek through the kitchen and find Almiro's suspecting eyes befall on me.I waves my heart while forcing a smile. “Hi?” “You... Have you been there the whole time?” He approach with authority in his voice. The man in a bloody suit turn his back at me before I even have a good look of his face.“Uhm, no?” I glance at Almiro and almost choke to realize
