Monster's in their Game

The Sanctuary

"Nicolus Petrus Gonsalvus..." all this time, it was just here and I wasn't being observant enough to see it. The heck!?

Now, that I got his name... all I have to do is to see how does this author looks like. I was about to put his name at the search engine when I halted as I heard the door swung open. My brows knitted and gaze it, that was when I saw Zarviel... looking like she was ready for a war. Her brows were almost meeting each other as she was mumbling something in the air. She was looking at nothings sharply as her knuckles were fisted.

"Hey, what happened to you? " I spoke up when she was just standing at the entrance with an angry look.

"Nah, I just bumped with some witches again," she replied, still glaring at somewhere. I sighed and was silenced. "And, no. Don't you dare say sorry again, Alice." She added.

She was breathing heavily as she was trying to keep herself do nothing. She may look soft with those chinky-dope eyes but, nah. She's not what you think she is.

"But, I put you in that place," I responded. She rolled her eyes and shook her head afterwards as she walk towards her bed.

"No. It was my choice to be friends with you," she replied. I frowned.

"You're weird." I remarked. She frowned at me too.

"That's why we both flocks," she then said as she rolled her eyes at me. She's really has the air and the attitude.

I woke up from my reverie when I started to feel the burning sensation againts mt skin again. My eyes instantly widen upon the realization! No! She'll rise up now! Damn it!

I tried flinching my arms as if it could take the burning sensation againts my skin, but I still got no use! Damn it! I started to panic as I gaze everyone that was then looking at me with confusion. Zarviel started walking towards me, worried by her face. I instantly shook my head at her.

"No. She'll now rise up, and I could hear it from her that she all loath you, so please d-don't come near me." I slowly said, as I could feel my skin getting burned from my arms t my whole body! It was just damn hot, and felt like it was actually burning when the truth is, it wasn't.

"W-what are you talking about, Alice?" She asked, confused and worried.

"I know, you all came here with the thought that I am her reincarnated soul, but no. She is still her. She wasn't reincarnated. She was just sleeping for a long time, and weeks ago, she did rose up from her sleep. And now, she's inside me and she's awake. Later on, it'll be her using this body. " I replied while catching my breath as the burning sensation was just too intense to bear. I was fighting with her, just to be awake a little while. I need to warn them! "... So, please. Just disappear for now. Or hide. She was in rage the last time and I could feel how determined she is to kill everyone that turned back on her." I added while looking directly at her eyes. She's still my friend, and I need to protect her. I don't want to bring any chaos inside this campus.

Zarviel looked at me directly in the eyes, and I nooded at her. I was long timed enlightened with her motives... I almost hate her but I can't. Despite the truth that I have her in my side as they all thougth that I was their Queen, I still can't put her in the lane. She saved me a lot, and I will lie if I tell you that I don't value our friendship. She looked at the another woman and nodded to her too. They all started stepping beckwards towards the dark woods.

"Z-Zarviel... please stop her if she do something. If you could just tie her, please do it. She needs to be kept away from everyone. She's dangerous." I whispered. Zarviel halted and stare at me with a debating thoughts inside her head. I nodded at her once again. "Wait for me to wake up... and I tell you what I know." I added. In a blink of an eye, she was then standing right in front of me.

"Alice, Why you didn't tell me if you knew?!" She angrily said as there were tears wanting to escape from her eyes. I smiled bitterly at her.

"Because, I value you. You are my friend, and i'm afraid you'd turn yur back on me once I tell you," I replied as I tried to bear the pain that the burning sensation was giving.

"W-what?! I would not do that!" she shouted at me. I shook my head at her and pushed her as strong as I could. She was only moved bymy push few steps from where she was standing.

"I... I couldn't keep her. Please hide now, Zarviel. Talk to me once I'll got awake," I replied, yet she didn't moved. I could feel the veins in my neck protuding as I tried t kept her inside me but, she was becoming more and more desperate to reign over me. "Please..." I plead, and that was when she started walking backwards. Her eyes were still on me, I could tell that as she was then close to disappering. And when she finally reached the woods, she stopped. I tried nodding at her, and saw her wiping her cheek. I nodded once again, and that was when she finally jumped towards the woods.

"Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed in complete pain as I let her reign over my system. I did just let my self feel the intense burning at my skin as I can't do anything. Another tear had dropped at my cheeks as the feeling was just close to dying.

"Let's greet their queen," the woman with the great beauty uttered as she sounds like too pleased as what she was seeing. I glanced at her and saw them smiling.

I tried shaking my head at them, but I was just then consumed and put in darkness. I was catching my breath, because I felt like I was being choke while getting burned. I just felt myself collapsing, and that, I urged myself not to think of anything.

I focused on making my breathing calm, as I was squeezing my eyes tightly. I bit my lower lip, and I could tell that it was bleeding but I have no choice, I need to stay awake inside here.

"Oh! It is indeed, Shivana! The one that was branded as the Almighty Queen!" The woman with the prettiest face then uttered.

"What are you doing here?" It was my voice responding with a very cold tone. I heard her scoffed.

"We are here to take that woman, but now she's you? You did really screwed everything for your own selfish gain," I heard the woman said.

"And, I heard that you did try everything yet you didn't win? Should I be sorry for putting you along with the loser's lane?" Shivana responded hitting directly her bull's eye.

"What? Losers? Us?! And what do you think f yourself? A gifted? Remember this, Shivana... you are cursed too. You are just like us," it was another voice hovered but I couldn't determine which on of them since I could only hear them.

Shivana started laughing mockingly.

"I am not the same as all of you in the other side, dear. I am a Queen, and i'll forever be. You may once succeded in peircing me with that arrow, but you can't do that again. Above everyone, it was me who should live. And,if they would not let me, then i'll make my own way." Shivana replied with a threat lacing in her voice. Who are they?

"Funny how you look desperate to live. Was living on the ther side sucks, Shivana. Look how desperate you are to reign,"

"We all are desperate to reign, Mira. Look how far your steps had conquered. Look how you put your feet on the grass just to be here and 'try' to win againts me," Shivana remarked which made the woman named Mira gulped.

"I told you to stop. You are now holding the beauty that was once mine, but I guess, I still win over that aspect againts you--- oh sorry, I forgot, I win in every aspects againts you. You have the beauty, but I still have mine. You have the moon, and I have the dark skies. Now, i'm the monster in the game that they created, now try playing as the sweet, and good goddess of beauty. Stop imitating me, you can't and will never be as better as I am. I'm telling you, you are nothing but the accessory to the dark sky." That was the last words I've heard when I couldn't take my eyes open. I finally drowsed off.
