"What happened to you!? I told you this town is dangerous!" then he pulled me inside but even before he closed the door 'someone' grabbed the door and pulled it.
"What the hell?" Leonard whispered, "Why the fuck are you here!?" he shouted as he saw who it was.
"Oh. I didn't know that you're here. What a shame." Noah replied with a smirk in his face then he entered the house, not minding an angry Leonard beside him.
"So? Wanna continue what we're doing earlier?" Noah asked and turned to me.
"No! Please! Just go away." I replied, trying to avoid his grasp.
Without a word, Leonard pushed Noah on the ground, then he sat on Noah's chest and began to throw punches at him. Noah tried to stand up but because of Leonard's punches, he remained on the ground, blood started dripping from his face.
"L-Leonard!" I shouted and ran towards them, I tried to stop Leonard but he's just nudging my attempts. I gathered my strength and tried to pull him but he forcefully nudged at me. Making me loose my balance and went straight to the ground. At that moment, I felt so cold and my sight became blurry. Slowly my consciousness faded and all I can hear is the deafening howl of Leonard.
|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
When I woke up, I was greeted by the heated argument of someone.
As I slowly opened my eyes, the argument turned into quietness and the first person the I saw is Marcus.
"Hey... are you alright?" he asked with his honey-like voice. When he asked that, almost all of them waited for my answer. I looked at Leonard, but he turned his head, avoiding my gaze.
"I'm fine... How long was I... out?"
"Not that long... Luckily, Riko and I checked on you. When we arrived, we saw these two," then he pointed at Leonard and Noah, "fighting to death, while you are just lying unconscious on the ground." then he shook his head and sighed.
"I-I was just teasing you. We used to do that a lot! So I thought that you're just becoming irritated... I didn't know that you're becoming uncomfortable!" a defensive Noah uttered.
"She doesn't remember anything..." Leonard mumbled which caught all of their attention.
"And you didn't tell her anything?" Marcus replied.
"Well, I don't have much time..."
"Then why not tell her everything now?" Noah asked and they all nodded.
I sat up and just stared at them while they're talking to each other. Still confused by what's happening. I mean, I just woke up because I lost consciousness from blood lost maybe? And then, four of my "dead" exes from the parallel world are here. They seem to know me... obviously. It feels like "she", the other me, had another life before I became "her."
"How did she even lost her memory?" Noah asked then he turned to Leonard. Leonard flinched before clearing his throat.
"We were on our way to Zada when a group of cyclops attacked us, then she saved me." he simply said.
"And?" Marcus asked.
"Then she lost her memories! Maybe because she broke her oath about not killing anyone when she become a goddess? I don't know!" he yelled. Making me almost jump from the bed.
Wow. She's definitely the total opposite of me. She swore not to kill people? I'm amused by the amount of patience that she possess.
"That seems to be a fair reason. Maybe it's a punishment from above." Noah whispered, "Then... shall we begin the introduction?" he said and sat in my bed, scooting a little closer to me. Then he took my hand and kissed the back of it. I felt my cheek warmed up. Am I fucking blushing right now?
"Good evening, goddess Natasha. I am Noah Domeussa. The ruler of Xyrid." then he backed up as he saw Leonard's burning glare at him. He smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head.
I stared at him for a second as I remembered something. A memory from the parallel world. His golden eyes shined and complimented his undercut, blonde hair, just like the Noah that I killed in the past. But I can't judge him... yet. I don't want to assume that he's just like that Noah who sexually abused me then left for another girl.
"We used to be close in the past, way before you become a goddess. You know... doing stuffs that naughty teenagers do." he continued and winked at me. Never mind. I changed my mind. Something deep down in my gut tells me that he's the same as that perv.
Another one moved forward and bowed his head.
"Ruler of Tahandi, Riko Bezebelub." he said and offered his hand for a hand shake. I shook his hand and slightly squeezed it. After that, he just went back to his seat and started eating.
"How about you? What's our story?" I asked with an arched eyebrow. This guy really do have a special place in me. Down there. In my ass. Together with my shit. In the parallel world, this little shit almost starved me to death.
His dark eyes just stared at me and I just stared at him back.
"This is the first time that I met you." he replied and started eating again. Still the same piggish person?
"Well, you already know me. I'm Marcus Momnam, the ruler of this town, Ylad. Aiclandia have seven towns and seven rulers, sadly three of the rulers aren't here for some reasons... " his purple eyes intensely stared at me then he pushed back his purple, curly, undercut styled hair and sighed.
"I'm kinda embarrassed to share our story especially because we have this grumpy guy in here." he continued and eyed at Leonard, "but we used to be lovers before 'someone' took you away from me." he sneered and once again looked at Leonard.
"And that's the best thing that I can do because you're a greedy bastard." Leonard yelled back.
"At least, I'm not like you. I would never lay a finger on her. No one even knows if the two of you are really attacked by a group of cyclops or if it's you who hurt her because of that grumpiness of yours!" Marcus seemed to have hit a nerve. Leonard stomped towards Marcus and grabbed his collar.
"What the fuck did you say?" he screamed, still tugging Marcus' collar.
I tensed up in my bed. I felt my body slowly trembled at the sight of them fighting. Noah and Riko tried to stop them, but Leonard seems stronger. Now... I remember why I killed him. Why I killed my first love. I killed Leonard because of the same reason why they're having a ruckus now.
"S-STOP IT!" In an instant, all of them were pushed back which made them fell on the ground, "look! I just want to know the truth! Why can't you all just stop fighting?"
"Do you want to know the truth?" Leonard asked as he stand up. He looked at me, waiting for my response.
As I was about to answer, someone yelled from outside which caught our attention.
"T-the raiders are here!" a man shouted.
I huffed and leaned back on the bed's board. Seriously!? What's with this town!?
