"Why did you want to leave Extrilla in the first place?"
The question caught me a bit off guard but I soon regained my composure and answer, "Because I was done. That place sapped me of most everything and I was done. I lived in some abandoned shack and basically ate as good as the pigs raised on the farms outside the wall. It was a shity way to live and I saw no way out. So instead of wasting away I thought I get some money and travel the world or whatever and due in some ditch knowing I did something with my life."
Shar's face looked a bit downtrodden by the time I finished my explanation, but that was the plan. That is until she came into my life. Now I planned to live a long life(not that I have much of a choice) after that I might go around wreaking some havoc. Whatever comes after that... we'll I'll figure it out later.
For now though I've got to get rid of the scumbag living just down the the street.
...
Two weeks later:
"YES! FINALLY! ITS HERE! AFTER SO MUCH TIME ITS FINALLY HERE!"
Currently I was celebrating as I received some of the best news I had heard ever. The scumbag was looking for some new maids and I was accepted! It was finally time to get rid of some trash!
I had already packed and was on my way to say goodbye to Sharla.
"Sharlaaaaaaaaa" I yelled her name all the way to her.
"What is it?"
"I got excepted!"
"Oh, that's good."
She had known I was training to be a maid which confused her greatly and several times she tried to get me to stop but it was to no avail. She eventually caved but it was on the condition that I would visit her whenever I had the chance.
"Fufufufu, do not worry my dear for I shall return" I said theatrically.
"Pfft hahahaha"
"Oh~? I'm glad I can make make my sweet little lover laugh so much" I say while wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I-I think I-it's a shame t-that y-you have to d-dye your h-hair" she says while turning her head in embarrassment; trying to change the subject.
"Ah-Ah-Ah there's no escape!"
"Mmmph!?"
I bring her into a kiss before running off while waving to her.
"Y-you shameless p-person" she yells after me.
"Mwuhahahahahaha" I laugh all the way down the hall until I'm out of earshot.
...
Sharla's POV:
*sniff* *sniff*
"That fool, always doing things without me! I'm g-going to punish her as s-soon as she gets back! That's it! I'll scare her so bad she'll faint! Fufufu yes it's perfect! I'll propose to her! I know her, she'd freak out so much she'll faint! I have to tell mother and father quickly!"
...
A few minutes later I'm outside of dads study where I was told they are. I bend over for a bit to take a breath as I was running the whole way here before bursting through the large double doors.
"Mother, Father I'm going to propose to Shessefe!"
I look up only to see their bewildered faces. They quickly sit me down; seeing my disheveled hair and slightly haggard breathing before bombarding me with questions.
"Are you sure you've known her for such a short time!?"
...
A good while later they gave up and reluctantly agreed.
"Ding"
I was suddenly surprised by the sound of a small bell that I would hear very rarely.
"Message from system master:
Hello Sharla I am Luna your lovers big sister. I sent this just to congratulate you on your engagement and don't worry I won't tell Shess on you. BUT if you ever hurt her just know that a certain someone might be erased from existence. I know that is one of the most improbable things to happen in all of the multiverse but as a big sister it's my duty to protect my little sister!"
Sincerely your new big sis[1],
Byyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeee"
I could feel a chill run down my back but I recovered soon enough and my resolve was strengthened!
...
Mary's (Shar's mom) POV:[2]
'Finally my baby's come home! Oh~ how I missed her, if I had gone another day without her I'm sure I would have lost my mind!
But she brought someone with her. Wait her LOVER!? Since when? Ugh, she's growing up too fast! I don't want baby to leave mommy!'
...
'Well it's official my daughter in-law isn't human. Also she's crazy... about my daughter! Hahahahahaha haa~. Yes I know my jokes aren't the best but I sure got a kick out of that one. But seriously she's possessive, has murderous tendencies and well crazy. I think there's a bit of trauma there but not much I can do when she doesn't talk about her past. Personally I think it's that bad seeing as she won't ever cheat on my daughter but her jealousy is quite annoying.
I wonder what it'd be like if I had gotten into a relationship with a woman instead of that scum that jumped at the chance to sell our daughter when he was at his lowest. What annoys me the most is that he didn't try to instead find a good job to pay off the debts but instead spent whatever money we had left on alcohol so he could drink himself into an abusive stupor.
Oops looks like I'm making a scary face as my baby is backing away. Can't have that!'
I wrap my arms around her and breath out a sigh.
"Mother?"
"It's nothing my baby, mommy's just a bit tired."
"Oh ok" she's says a bit dejectedly.
"I'm serious! Mommy may be the strongest in the world, and don't your ever doubt that! But you need to remember mommy needs rest too other wise I would be to tired to protect you!"
"Pffft" she lets out a laugh.
"Who are you laughing at!? I'll beat up anyone you point me to."
"Even dad" she asks.
"Fufufu, even dad!"
'Speaking about beating people up I heard that girl is going to kill that man. I mean I was hesitant when I first came here but I have lost all hope for him after instead getting MY daughter back, bribed his way up the social ladder, which mind you is an impressive feat. NO! Don't praise a man that deserves to hang in the gallows! He deserves a most painful death! But I have that covered. I slipped a special little drug into her luggage making sure to put a little note in there explaining how it works in case she's not as smart as I think her to be. Now it's all up to her'
...
Shessefe's POV:
When I arrived I was rudely guided to the maids living quarters. Thankfully I got a room albeit it was small; only big enough for a bed and a small night stand. Laying on the bed was a folded maids uniform waiting to be put on.
"Get your stuff unpacked you'll be starting work tomorrow" said the maid rudely before slamming the door behind her.
I slowly open my suitcase and unpack the few things I brought with me. This included a simple dress I bought a few days prior, a pair of pants, a long sleeved shirt, night wear, some parchment, along with a pen and an inkwell for when I write to her.
'Though I doubt I will need them for long' I thought.
Just as I went to close the lid I noticed a small bottle with dark substance within. I could guess what was in it but opted to read the note to confirm my suspicion.
It was a quick note wrote a bit hurriedly but it basically said it was a very strong poison that would kill a healthy person within a year but if unhealthy it could take just a couple months. An added bonus was it was hard to trace. Note that it was hard not impossible. I would definitely need to be careful with this. On top of that I would need to thank Shar's mom later though I'm not exactly thrilled.
I don't really know what it was but she just rubbed me the wrong way. The ones who could kill a person without remorse are scary but the ones who are truly frightening can smile while doing it. And with her eerie smile that really only changed in front of Shar was all the proof needed to tell she could stab you in the back and continue to smile.
...
I sat in my bed for the rest of the day fiddling with the knife I had hid under my clothes until it was time to go to sleep.
As soon my eyes close they are open once again. All around me was darkness. When I called out no noise came from my mouth.
Suddenly like a light flickering on a window appeared. Not one showing the outside world with streets lined with houses and shops closed down for the night but of a nostalgic street lined with vendors and houses with slightly weathered. It showed a young girl dressed in nothing but rags. It was quite odd as her clothing didn't match her hidden beauty that would require one to look closely to see. In her hands she carried an old tin cup that was far to dented and dirtied for actual use. She had hair as white as snow and eyes as red as blood. She had a the look of lifelessness as if she had seen a thousand battles and killed twice as much.
The girl slowly hobbled her way over to one of many man and asked for money. Unfortunately he wasn't one in the mood to be talked to.
"Fuck off you filthy beggar" he shouted before kicking her away. He then rushed up to her only to continue to kick her.
"Stooooooooooop" a girl with brown hair with equally brown eyes, a small nose and small lips rushed to get in between the two.
All around women and men had formed a circle all while whispering.
"Tch, you got lucky today" he said angrily before walking off into the sea of people.
When he was finally out of sight the brown haired girl who couldn't have older than ten turned around and helped the other girl.
When the girl with white hair raised her head it seemed as if light had returned to her eyes. This very girl could feel her heart throb for a moment and her cheeks slightly turned red. She didn't know why her heart or cheeks did this. It was a foreign feeling that she had never felt till she met this girl.
As fate would have it she would never tell the later about these feelings but they stayed there for many years past.
Note: so I went with the two in one. The next chapter will be out later today at around 8-10 pm maybe sooner.
Also big day yesterday! We just got over 100 adds so yeah. I don't know if thats the actual number or if it's just glitched and there's more of you. But hey it says 101 people have it in their library and I'm happy with that. Tbh never thought I would get so many views or adds or power stones for that matter but for all of you out there thanks a lot! ;)'
I mean when I put my first chapter out I didn't think I would get more than ten views that day but boy was I wrong when four-ish hours later there were like I think maybe 800 views. I don't know if it was out of pure boredom or you were on the hunt for something new but 800 hundred(maybe) of you read my novel and personally I didn't think my writing was good at all! It was kind of painful to read myself and it was pretty messy I mean you can go back and read them if you want they are the four auxiliary chapters.
(They're there!)
Also Currently I have 36.7 k views, compared to other novels that have like tens of thousands more views than me and half the chapters and slow updates. Or those with hundreds of thousands or even millions of views and release up to 10-14 chapters a week, I look small but I count that as a win in my book!!!
So to all of you I sincerely thank you for all the support!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the rant but I'm genuinely thankful, now I'll let you guys get on with your reading (or life, personally I don't have one but for those of you who do, kudos)!
Oh! Before I forget I posted a little side project, please read the synopsis as it does include important(?) information!
