The Sanctuary
Under the mezmerizing celestial bodies at that night, with the swaying cold breezes, in between the radai, and at the point of the diameter... I was staring at the guy who has the most beautiful set of eyes. I was captivated by those such certain emotion his gazes been bearing since I got to set my eyes at his. It was truthfully certain, alike from those undying love, it remain still, and even gone stronger.
His stares was like digging up everything I had. It was always been gentle and never been rough. His eyes were like a certain grave of his neglected emotions that slowly rose from dead, as it was triggered. It was rose up by someone or something who he was really into.
I almost jumped in surprised when he put his hand at the top of my head. There was a small sincere smile on his lips as he was patting my head, like i'm some sort of his pet.
"Yo? Are you just gonna stand there and stare at each other and do loveydovey? I thought you are hungry?" Zarviel voice hovered as she was then meters away from us. I squinted my eyes and looked at her with annoyance. What loveydovey she was pertaining to?!
Valix let out a deep sigh before he started to continue walking, leaving me behind. W-what is that?!
"Hey, wait for me!" I uttered before catching up with them. Zarviel was already inside the cafeteria. Valix pulled the entrance for me, and as the chime sounded, all the stares from everyone inside diverted into us--- with questioning faces. I instantly stiffened, as my foot halted from stepping in. With their stares, I was reminded of whom I was in that campus.
My hand did trembled as I suddenly felt suffocated with everyone's stare. I swallowed hard once again as I tried to fist my knuckles, to urge myself to move... yet the more I try... the more I tremble. My eyes started to get misty as I can't explain what was happening to myself.
"Alice... breath. Relax. Their stare won't matter." I heard Valix voice near my left ear. His voice was soothing and calm which made me feel a little ease. I closed my eyes tightly as I sighed heavily.
'Alice, they are no one. None of those judgemental stare would take you down. They are none if you wn't mind their existence, just like how you did before.' My inner self implied.
With a fisted knuckles, I stepped inside. I held my head high and ignore everyone's stare. I wasn't born to be someone's source of entertainment by making my life miserable. They can't enter my ship. From now on, i'll be unbothered with everyone who had done nothing help for me.
I sat down infront of Zarviel as she was then, holding my hands. She as looking directly at my eyes and smiled.
"Good thing you didn't let their stares walk you out." She uttered. Valix was then at the counter, ordering our meal. Everyone's stare are still at us and I am still anxious with my every movement but I kept all the hesitation at the back of my mind.
"I don't know what's happening at me right now, Av. Maybe, I did develop a trauma. This my first time stepping back this cafeteria for amost four years." I softly spoke, feeling drained.
"Don't be afraid Alice. You have me now. You have Valix now. And we'll promise you to protect you with everything that might harm you." she replied which made my heart melt. I felt my heart aching due to gladness. I swalowed a lump at my throat as I simple wiped my tears away from my lips.
And, that was when I realized that I just wanted to be protected. That even an emotionless woman crave for someone who could hand his or her hand to help me. Someone who could cover me when I felt like I can't protect myself, for the mean time. That was then, I realized that I was craving for someone to lean on, that later was on got buried at the deepest of my soul... thinking no one would show up.
I just wanted help. I wanted freedom.
I bit my lower lip and looked down with no emotions written on my face.
"Alice, don't think of those stares, they are not in control of your life, they are mere audience who's opinion about you are trash." Zarviel added.
The night grew deep and everyone was then tucked to sleep, yet here I am... looking at the ceiling accompanied by deep thoughts creeping my whole system.
As I cant put myself to sleep, I decided to walk outside to gasp some air. I was carefully closing the door as Zarviel was very tucked well at her bed.
I sat at the stairs and opened my book. I brought a light that would let me read the pages. The cold air blew, and the pages were flipping as to where the wind direction was, it then stopped at the folded page, to where I stopped.
I opened it and, sighed. A little smile crept into my lips as I smelled the book scent. For me, it was therapeutic.
'I was left with nothing but disgrace and taints were poured all over my name. The evil queen had her downfall. He knelt for a man!
Tremendous lightning from the sky and hitting it towards the ground. With a very dark and gloomy night, the queen poured everything out. Her anger was unfathomable. She couldn't be tame. Now that she reached the edge, she'll surely take the revenge.
Her tears were streaming down to her cheeks as all she could feel was a very deep anger, and hatred. The pure stungs of pains, and the hopelessness she'd been feeling. Who would you blame for her anger?
"I never did hurt anyone, but why would everyone despise me?! I never touched even a single strand of your hairs but why would you all hate me to your core?! Why would you wish for my agony and punishments?! Why? Tell me?!" Shivana's voice hovered in between the thunder. Her voice was in rage as her gazes were too intense and dark. It was filled with too much hatred and pain, and no one knows how to kill the fire she was holding in.
Everyone was muted and never have the courage to even sigh. Her aura was screaming vengeance and everyone was too coward to take it.
There were tears visible at her eyes but all that hovered at her system was hatred and pain. She was in rage that even the weather came with her. The thunders, the lightning, and rains. It was all with her.
She lifted her hand and built a very dark smoke above her palm. She was wearing a long black dress ending at her ankle. Her lips were coated with fresh blood, and even have some spilled bloods at the side of her lips.
Her fangs showed up, making ger look terror. She laughed micheviously as she saw how everyone was terrified.
"What you see, is what you think. Blood? Yes, it is. I sip fresh blood from someone. I tastes good knowing its from someone who you'd known."
"W-what?!" A voice uttered with unbelievable tone.
"He trade my life for someone he wanted to be with him for the rest of his life. He let me fall for him harder so he could use me, sooner. Was I that fool to let him? I guess, I was. I was blinded by his love. His fake fucking love."
"I am a villian in everyone's eye, and so now, i'm ready to show it to all of you. "
"Shivana, please. Stop it." Another voice said. It was probably from his husband's sister voice. Her eyes hardened as it turned to color red. She moved her eyeballs sideways, and instantly caught her even if she eas then in between a huge crowd. She grinned, showing her fangs.
"You never liked me to begin with, yet I was patience with you. I did try my best to get your mood yet you always pushes me off. And, I'd never imagine you'd be that shameful brat to let another woman be with my 'husband!' Now, you wanna see how horrific am I?" Shivana uttered and snapped her finger in the air. He suddenly disappeared from where she was, that's when a choking sound hovered. Everyone diverted their gaze to where it was coming, and saw Shivana choking the crown princess of the Alphas.
Her eyes were now burning in anger that she could eventually burn the woman who was infront of her.
"I should've know, that I don't need to please everyone. Because, in the end of the day, it's either you'll build yourself or lose it. And, by trying too damn hard, I did become the latter. So, deal with my anger." She whispered as she tightened her grip at her neck.
"I am Shivana Orasaya, the Queen. I deserve the grand prices and diamonds, not the fake golds and the luring love. I am the Queen, and I'll never let anyone take my throne."
She whispered evilly as her vengeful smile crepted in her lips, looking satisfied with what she was been seeing infront of her gaze.
"I am Shivana, I am the Queen. I'll be a legacy, the most evil being up unto your future generation. My vengeance will come after you all." she said as the thurders strikes harder.
