CHAPTER 3
YANA'S POV
How many days that I'm here at BV house? Let's see. Uhm... "Oh. This is the 5th day." We're staying at Black Velvet RH's for about five days. By the way, we called it RH. So, we can say it easily, even a hundred times.
When I got unconscious, Aren-san found out about my illness. But there's good news, she promised to me that she will never talk and tell the others about it. So I'm very thankful that she'll not going to tell the others about this.
Based on what Aren-san said, my last victim is the one who carried me here, at the school clinic. And that was Yoojun-san. After I lost my consciousness he carried me here without even had a single thought. But after that, he left without saying a word.
I've just said before, that I will NEVER be a spoiled brat. So, I planned to say my thanks to him. But, until now I couldn't find him. I've been searching for him for about 2 days. I didn't even see him inside the RH. Where did he go? What if, he goes home?
But Yhoun-san said, that he just saw Yoojun-san at the hallway of the school. Yoojun-san was carrying a book from the Main Library and that he was with a guy on a suit.
Just what you see, Yhoun-san is the one who's telling me about this information, hehe. It just means that we're already friends. And besides, it was just a big misunderstanding. It was just an accident, right? So I'm not really mad at him.
I'm just going to get mad at him when he's really a pervert. But, he was not like that. He's a good person. He already forgave Carter-san and the others for hurting him. And now, were like a big family. Lol. We're all friends except for Yoojun-san.
So now, I'm searching for him in the hallway, with my uniform on. The school staff just let us wear civilian clothes inside the RH. But, if we're going to take a walked in the school grounds we have to put our required uniforms.
"*whisper* Yoojun-san, where are you?"
I'm at the school garden. It's hard to walk at the hallway. And the garden is near at the Main Library.
I just think that maybe he's just around here, reading somewhere. There's still student roaming around, I need to lower down my voice. I don't want them to think that there's a crazy girl roaming around the school. Lol. (A: Lol, Yana. You look more like a crazy woman at that state. Whispering like an idiot.)
"Hey...Yoojun-san...just tell where you are..." –I whispered again.
I just feel like the students are still looking towards me*look around*, they wearing their confused look. Thank God I didn't wear the BV crystal.
*shiver* this is taking so long, I already feeling weird things. Where are you, Yoojun-san? Why are you hiding too much? Are digging for your own grave or you died digging your grave? Uh. I'm having a goosebumps.
5:30 p.m. I'm hungry. The student at the garden already left. But, because of garden is too wide for me to search for, I still didn't find him. I only finished searching, half of the garden. My skin hair are automatically reacting and standing on its own. Lol, do I have a cat's trait?
I feel someone was watching me from afar. Wait...is it a ghost? Oh no, not ghost please. Even if I said to myself to not to be scared to things that I can't see, still I always imagine the common scene at every horror movies that I watched. Like, a ghost will suddenly appear. Uhhh!!!
"*shiver* *teary eyed* Ehhhh... where are you, Yoojun-san?.."
*sob* *sob* I'm scared. It's night already. And it's too far from RH. The worst is, I forgot how to go out from here. 'Cause it's my first time here. And I don't even know that there's a forest inside the garden.
I need to go back, but I don't know how. Why now, my battery is dead. *looked around* someone's really looking at me.
*rustle*
"*shocked* Uhm...who's there?" –I said while I'm trembling.
*gulp* there's two-two, ah no three. What? Five men walking towards me! Ha!!!! What if they're the security guard at school who're capturing students who came here without someone's permission. *calm* But, they can also help me to back at the RH, right?
I ran towards them. The time that I got near to them, they seem like a student. *shocked* they're a student? Why're they here? It's already night, right? Is there a night class at this school?
"Look what we've got here." Boy 1. He's the tallest one, like the leader to the other four.
"Yes, a high quality one." Boy 2.
"I didn't think that we've got this unexpectedly delicious dessert here." Boy 3.
"We cut our classes for us to find high quality meat, but to think that the high class meat comes to us...it's the best." Boy 4.
"You're Yana Askarin, right? One of the Black Velvet's student." Four eyes, I mean Boy 5.
"Uhm, yes." I smiled back at them.
'Cause he's the only one who had a proper impression, the other guys looks like perverts. He looks like the most intelligent guy in their group. I didn't even understand what they were saying.
"High quality is good." Boy 2.
"Uhm, excuse me. Since, you're a student here and it looks like you're my senior. Can you please, help me to get out of here?"
"You're right. We're your senior." Boy 5. "By the way, do you mind if I ask you. Why did you get lost?" He seriously said.
"Uhm...I'm searching for one of my classmate in the garden... but because this is my first time entering the garden, I turned out being lost in this wide and dark forest." I sadly said.
Yeah. An invisible person I knew. Just think about it, I started searching for him at after lunch at every edge of the school and turns out getting lost at this enchanted forest. Lol, enchanted. It just, this is a garden yet it has a very wide forest on it? Super weird, right?
And now that I am lost and these guys are my only choice to get out of here, even if I'm shivering in fear inside. While I'm talking to them but I need to. Beside I don't want to get lost at this scary forest, alone. I just have to keep myself calm. I'm keeping myself from stuttering. 'Cause you know, I don't want them to think that I'm scared.
"You can come with us *grin*, Ms. Beautiful." –Boy 1
"Where are you going?" I seriously said.
"To heaven- I mean we're going to help you to get out here." –Boy 3.
Heaven? Are they a falling Angel? But, they don't even look like people from heaven. I come closer to Mr. four eyes and look at his left chest, just to know his name. I couldn't ask his name. 'Cause he's the only one who look like a good person.
"What're you doing?" –he said while standing firmly.
"Sorry, I'm not just used to asking someone's name. So, I looked at your name tag just to know your name. Claouse-senpai." I seriously said. "Please, help me to get out of here. I knew that my friends were searching for me. I just need to get out in this forest. Then, after that, I'm fine on my own."
After I said that, Claouse-senpai turned his back on me and left without saying a single word. What happened to him? I just want his help to get out of here.
"Don't mind him, Yana. We can help you find your way out." –Boy 1.
"Really?!" –I excitedly said.
I thought Claouse-senpai is the good person out of this perverted guys. Uh, I made a mistake. He just backed onto me? What did I do wrong? Is it because I'm just a stranger? Yeah, I'm just a stranger. He just knew because of my rank as a Black Velvet student.
Boy #1 just nodded and we started walking. While me, of course I'm following them. Maybe they were just kidding earlier.
After a very long walked, we stopped at an abandoned warehouse? I thought they're going to help find my way out. Why are we stopping here?
"Uhm...why are we here?" I awkwardly asked.
Why did I feel strange? Why did I feel scared? My heart keeps pounding, like a bird trying to get out of its cage.
They suddenly look at me while grinning. Are they planning something bad? Like a common scene in the movie? Abandoned place is equal to murder and death. Oh no. Wait. Wait. Wait. Don't think a lot of bad and negative things about it, Yana. Maybe, they're going to get something there. Like an emergency flashlight or whatever it is.
"Shall we go inside? *grin*" –Boy 1.
"Wait. What are we going to do in there?" –*tremble*
"We're just going to have some fun." –Boy 3.
*shocked* why are they looking at me like that? *gulp* I need to get away from them. But I can't even have a single step. Why? They're staring at me like I'm their prey.
*step backward* *look around* How can I get away from them? If I take a single step, for them it's five. What is their true intention? Why did I even go with them? Why didn't I think first before going with them?
"Come. Just come with us without struggling." –Boy 4.
Right about when one of the guys try to get me, I automatically kick his weakness. If they'll do something to me, I'm dead, but I'll fight back. But, to tell the truth I'm really shivering right now. I'm scared. I'm alone in the middle of the night and there are four guys who're currently chasing me. *teary eyed* what should I do?
I search for a hiding place at the part of the forest and hide myself. I heard they're footsteps. I cover my mouth. 'Cause what if they hear even my breathing? *shiver*
My tear falls down automatically. Someone, please help me. I can't take it anymore. I don't want to die right now. I didn't remember the memories that I lost and even see my brother in person. I want to see him. Nii-chan, *Tasukete! (*Tasukete – help me) (*niichan- older brother)
"Yana. Where are you? We're just going to have some fun. Why are you hiding?!"
I can't stop my tears. *sob* Oh no. What if they heard me? What should I do? They're already near to where I hide. If I run right now, they'll going to catch in seconds.
When I looked up, they're gone. I decided to leave this place and ask for help.
*shocked* someone cover my mouth and pull me to other direction. We're at the top of a tree. I tried to fight back but he's too strong for me to handle. Is he one of them?
"Hmmmm!!! Flwepp mehhh gehhh...." I said while crying. (*Let me go*) *sob* *sob* Is this the end for me?
"*whisper* Stop it. They'll going to hear us."
He's too near in my ears. I can feel his breath. And his voice is somewhat familiar. After I heard his voice, my body stopped shivering. He then uncovered my mouth. I turned around and look at him.
Even in a dark place like this, I will never forget this face. A cold and serious face I saw once, before. The person I was searching for. Yoojun-san. Why is he here?
But, I'm very thankful that he's here with me. While I'm looking at him, my tears suddenly falls down again.
"They're gone." Then he carried me back to the ground.
"Wahhh! *sob* *sob*. Tha-thank you, Yo-yoojun-san. *sob* *sob*."
I'm crying loudly just in front of him. I don't care if what will he think to me. I just want to cry out loud. I want to let out my fear.
We're currently playing merry-go-round for an hour, I mean finding the way out at this foggy forest. Until now, we still can't find the way out. He still holding my hand tightly, I feel secured because of it. Just by holding my hand makes me at ease. The scary imagination I had is all gone, about this forest ghost or murderers. But, I feel ashamed of myself. Getting out in this dark forest and let myself fooled by those bastards.
Thank you, Yoojun-san. Even if I'm just a stranger yet you saved me from those bastards. We stopped to rest for a while. Is that how far we walked? That's way too far, I'm really exhausted.
"Uhm...eto...Yoojun-san..." eh, why am I feeling so ashamed? "About the accident happened at the RH, Aren-san told me that you're the one who carried me all the way to the school clinic."
He seriously looked at me. But he didn't utter even a single word. He just looked at me, seriously. And finally, he unclasped his hand to mine.
"*bow* thank you very much for helping me before and now, just tell me anything you wanted. I will happily give it you, as my gratitude for saving my life, TWICE." Then I gave him a smile of gratitude. *smile*
"As a girl, you don't have to say 'anything' to anyone who saved your life. What if, I wished for SOMETHING you treasure the most." *cold*
Something I treasure the most? *thinking* what is it? Let's see, I had a lot of things that I really treasure the most. Uhm...let me think. OH! Yes, yes. My necklace.
My grandpa said that I wore it always since my childhood days. And the funny fact is, I always cry when someone tried to get it away from me. *chuckle*
"Why are you laughing? Do you think I'm just joking?" He seriously said.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I just remember something about my precious thing that you were talking about."
He looked at me with his shocked look. Did I say something to have him make that face? *thinking*
"So, you want to see my precious thing, right? Yojoon-san? *grin*"
But, sorry I'm not going to let you have it. I still need to find the person who gave this to me. While I'm reading my diary for me to remember the memories I lost even a single bit, about my memories which been erased for a long time.
When I read something in my diary, it was incomplete. I'm talking about my childhood friend who I got separated with. And that single page of my diary answered all of the mysteries about this necklace. The boy that I always talked about in my diary left this necklace as a sign of his promise. That he'll come back for me.
I entered my hand onto my uniform, to get my necklace inside. I hide it somewhere inside, for it to be safe always. One of my maids suggested it to me.
Oh, I got it. I come closer to him, to let take a look to my necklace. He panicked when I move closer to him.
"*looked away* I didn't say that you can show it to me." He nervously said.
Where is the bossy and serious Yoojun? Why his voice suddenly changed? Is he just pretending as a strong man?
"Here. I'll let you see it for a while as my gratitude for saving me, twice."
He's not even looking at me and slowly avoiding me. Why his face is red? Did he have a fever? That's why he doesn't want me to get near to him.
"Here, Yoojun-san. Don't be like that. I'm letting you see my most precious thing. But why are you looking away?" I ask him repeatedly. "Here. It's my most precious thing, my necklace."
After I said it, he suddenly looked at me with confused look while pointing out my necklace.
"Necklace?" He confusedly said.
"Yes, this is my most precious thing that I have since I was a child." I smiled at him. "It's pretty right? *smile*"
From nervous looked, he's face change into serious look. He suddenly snatched my necklace and scanned it properly, just like a scanner.
"Where did you get this necklace?" he seriously said while looking at me intently.
"Uhm...from my childhood friend." I smiled at him again.
"Do you know that this is the one and only kind of necklace in the whole world?" He seriously said. "It is called as the symbol of love. The first owner of this necklace one's said that he will give it to his dearest love, the Tiuri."
*shocked* The tiuri? Simply known as 'My Dearest', it is somewhat familiar by the Elysium necklace or known as the 'My dearest paradise'. A Greek God made the Elysium necklace for his dearest wife who died in a tragedy as a symbol of his promise that he will soon get back to her, a tragic story.
I once read it on my grandpa's book ancient collections. Just what he said before, I loved reading mythology books about the Greek Gods and etc. Even before, before I've got this amnesia thingy. And the trait I inherit from him. Then, when I tried to read books on his old library, I can't take off my eyes on his collection. I read a lot of books, the whole day. And don't get out for about 24 hours.
"Tiuri, simply known as 'My Dearest'. A necklace that one of the greatest God gave to his secret innamorare, as a symbol of his promised, that he will come back to her no matter what. But because she's a human, the other Gods resent her, and thrown her at the hell of abyss as her punishment." -*sob sob*
"She protected the necklace with all her strength. Until her last breath, she held it tight so no one can get it away from her even if she's already dead. She smiled and called her love's name. *sob* But the *sob* Greek God didn't answer her call." –until now, this story still makes me cry.
"*exhale* *looked away*" –Yoojun-san.
"When the Greek God knew that the other Gods tricked him. He quickly goes at the hell of abyss, but his too late. The girl is already dead. He cried in agony for losing his dearest. He asked for her forgiveness, a million times. He thinks that if he does that, the girl will smile and hug him again." –such a tragic story. "When the girl didn't wake up, he stabbed himself of his own celestial knife, the only knife that can kill an immortal God. Before he died he got the necklace and chanted a few words. 'Reunire mih zuo min deore' after that, their soul got reunited and get into the 'Tiuri Necklace'."
"So, you know that story, too?" –He coldly said.
"Yes." -*brush away the tears* "But, I didn't know that I have it all along."
"Who really give this necklace to you? Is it a girl?" he seriously said.
"No, my grandpa said that a boy gave it to me before, when I was just 12 years old."
He suddenly gives off a shock look. Did he know the guy who gave this to me? If it yes, he will know where he is. I'm for him for too long. Even if I don't remember him pretty well, there's still a part of me that wanting to see him.
"Oh, wear it. The sun is setting I need you to get you back at the Black Velvet's RH." *walked*
Can I ask him now? What if he got mad at me? But, I need to know who owns this necklace. We seems like we're the lead of the Greek story about the Tiuri necklace.
Why? Why I can't see him until now? Why did he give this necklace to me?
"Yoojun-san, Uhm...When I said something about the boy who gave me this necklace, I saw that you suddenly give off a shock look. Is it because you know him?" I sadly said.
Why am I about to cry? Is this how I really want to see him? Even if I don't remember him well? Why? Why? Why? Please, someone. Tell me, why? Why am I longing for him so much?
"*looked away* *walked*" –Yoojun-san.
I run toward him. 'Cause he suddenly walk fast and I couldn't cope up to him. So am I right? Did he really know who own this necklace? I pulled his arms and stopped him from walking.
"Please, tell me. I know that you know him. How you react and how you avoided my question." *lip bite* "I don't know why you're avoiding my question. But I really want to know where he is. Please, tell me. *sob* *sob*."
Shit. I'm crying. Why am I feeling like this for a boy that I can't even remember? Why am I like this? Who is that boy to me? Why am I acting like this? Is he really that important to me? Is that why I always mention his name on my diary?
"You want to know where he is, that much?" he said while gripping tightly to his hands. "Then, the guy who owns that necklace is gone. In short, he's dead. Why?! Because a girl who promised to him that they will met somewhere, abandoned him and never goes in their meeting place. HE waited for about 4 years for that girl. It's like an opposite story of the Tiuri necklace. Right?" He furiously said. "So, let me go!"
*shocked* *daze* what is he saying? He's waiting for me for that long? And he's dead, be-because of me? It's my fault? *tears fell down* so, it's true that Yoojun-san know that guy. He's maybe his greatest friend, that's why he's acting like this. That's why he repeatedly changed his expression?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. If hadn't into an accident, he's still be alive until now. I feel heavy. Why? Why did he wait for me for that long? Didn't he know where I am? Maybe, he didn't know that I had an accident before. I know it's my fault. *cover mouth* *sob* *sob* I can't take it anymore. I think there's a million needles that keeps attacking my heart.
"I'm sorry. *sob* *sob* I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry for what I've did. I'm sorry for not remembering him and smiling every day, not knowing on what really happened to him. I'm sorry, Yoojun-san *sob*."
"What?! You're crying HERE beside me, and you couldn't even remember him? Are you kidding me?!" he furiously said while gripping tightly my shoulders.
It hurts. But, it's not even a right payment for all of my sins. I know that he's so mad at me, because I didn't even remember his friend.
"I'm sorry for acting like this. *sob* *sob* I couldn't remember him but it's like there's something tightly and crumpling my heart. It hurts. It really hurts." –I'm sorry Yoojun-san for not remembering your best friend and crying like this. "It's my fault. Please, punish me."
I looked at him intently. I'm serious. He's gone, but his best friend is still here. He can punch me or what. I'll accept any punishment, for him to forgive me for what I did.
