Heart

As soon as I woke up, I found myself lying in a wonderful bed. It was warm that I even thought for myself, How long has it been since I felt comfortable like this. This kind of feeling..... Was very nostalgic. Mom...

No, this is very disgusting!

" What am I talking about now?" I softly talked to myself while feeling down.

I don't get what is going on right now. I don't know what really happened and how I was brought here. ' Was I sparred? Was I saved?' these thoughts was running around in my mind. I, then, remember the most important thing.

" Wait, my scythe!"

As soon as I remembered it, I directly tried to stood up. I notice my body was wrapped with bandages and it was very painful to move.

I averted my eyes to the right and it looks like I don't need to be worried. The scythe that I was looking was just right beside me. Good thing this was not lost or left. I felt relieved even my body was in a bad condition. For me, as long as this scythe is fine, I don't really care.

By the time I held the scythe. I heard something. It was screams and sobs of a certain person. Pain memories of the woman- like guy was shown to me. I don't know how I saw that but that was kinda .....sad, I guess.

" Hey, are you awake? I heard the change of sounds in your heart."

A voice came from behind. It was the woman from earlier, Lumia.

" Uh-"

" Before you ask question or talk, wipe your tears first"

Huh? Tears? Without a word to spare, she directly asked me that.

Wait. Am I crying right now? Before I knew, a drop of water went slowly out of my eyes. Why am I crying? Is it because of this nostalgic feeling or was it because of the memories of that woman- like guy?

Shit, this is getting annoying. There is nothing to gain even I would think about it.

I directly wiped the tears from my eyes.

" You know, crying suits the best for you. You are more like your usual heart."

Tsk. This crazy feeling. I have embarrassed myself.

" This is nothing, this is just the side effect of the battle earlier" I replied and continued. " So what happened earlier? Did you save me and left off?"

For reality, being saved is not my style that is why I need to confirm it. I also asked this so that the topic will be changed. I don't want to embarrass myself more.

" So you don't really remember?"

Hm. What does she mean? Did I do something. Enough thinking, I will just ask.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

She pause for a second and smiled.

" Nothing, how about try asking your curse weapon once?"

Now that is being absurd, you know?

" My weapon? What kind of joke is that? Did you believed the stories that they talk? I was said that it has been centuries since this scythe last talked, but in truth, they all made that up in order to preserve this."

Yeah. That was what I concluded. I know that there are impossible things, like us having abilities but a weapon talking is definitely absurd, you know. So if that was true, they are saying that curse weapons has life?

" Are you sure about that?" she replied and sighed.

Huh? Why would you persist in? and she is kinda dissappointed, too.

" Of course" I answered her proudly.

" I guess there's no helping it. I will just tell you what happened."

So she kept talking and talking. She told me what happened, I was possessed by the curse sword. There was a world of chains. She said that the woman- like guy was inside my scythe. Everything was unbelievable, so have she told me was the truth?

Could it be? Perhaps that was the reason of me being able to see some of his memories. Guess I will believe her for now.

" Now I understand.. so, what now?"

I directly change the topic because, there are many questions that I needed to ask here.

" What do you mean?" She tilted her head asking. Is she perhaps confused?

" What do you intend to do with me? I can't move, I am a criminal with a bounty on his head, and you are a knight which maintains prosperity in the kingdom."

Well, that is true. In this times, people are hungry for wealth. But, for her, I am curious what she was after. As I remembered what Nayt said ' Lumia does not want to capture you but only wants my information' something like that.

" What are you trying to say? Are you perhaps saying that I will capture you? Don't worry, I have no plans of doing that for now."

Ehh, so later she will capture me? Giving me a false hope. Evil Girl. Then, I will just keep on bothering her.

" Why are you doing this?"

The mood seemed to change. This is it. Now, I will know her reason for stalking me.

After asking, the mood then became serious.

She, then, asked me " Then, what are the reason why you desire to kill?"

I opened my eyes knowing what to hear next. I can't deny, I think this has something to do with our-

" Is it because of your ability, to devour fear? Just like mine, everytime I hear the sounds of your heart, the unbearable pain in mine can't be healed directly. Just hearing at it makes my heart also dying."

" Then, kill me. So that your heart will return to normal."

I told her straightforward bevause I can't bear hearing all of this, I want to return killing people at this moment.

" If only it was that easy. I can't really understand my ability pretty well."

I was shocked.

Just like mine, hm. I smiled and laughed at her.

" Just like mine? don't make me laugh. Yes, I kill for my own benefit, for my ability that I love but I the reason I am killing is because I like it."

" You are lying" she told me.

" Huh?"

" That is what your brain says but your heart says the opposite."

How could I know it and how would you know it. You can't hear my brain, you can't feel my heart. This is starting to really piss me off.

" Shut up"

" Am I not correct? Something binds your heart, right?"

" Shut up"

" I got you, you really are broken."

I lost my temper for a moment and suddenly grabbed my scythe attempting to kill her.

Yet, I was stopped. I didn't know what really happened but for a moment I was like in the moon. What was that? I looked at her holding a weapon in her right hand. A crystalized blue sword, glittering so beautiful. Is that a curse weapon? Was it its ability?

" You did think that I was weak, right? Last night, I only went along with you and the fight earlier, I just didn't bring her along with me because I thought I will be safe."

I back down, sat, and relaxes my back."

This is really frustrating. All she ever tells really stroke my heart.

" Now that you're in my hands, you can't get out. This will be fun, maybe.... I can also use you."

" Use me? For what?"

I shot a leer for her to notice that I don't like it yet she only smiled at me.

" Yes, but it is a secret." she said

I glared at her thinking just be thankful I am heavily injured.

I'm very tired. Let me lie down please. I laid down the bed but something was noy correct.

As much as I wanted to sleep there was something also bothering me.

" Lumia.... You know those guys, right?" I asked her because something in her felt different.

" What do you mean?"

" Don't lie. You.... you were happily killing them, right? Is it because you rese-"

Before I knew it a sword was pointed at my neck.

" You don't need to know that, just like you ,I have something I carry."

I smiled and said. " I suppose you are right. Now that I know that, I can sleep for now. Careful because the time you sleep, you will never know when I will be coming."

" Oh if you are worried about me, don't worry"

Eh, she said it with a smile. Even though I want to scare her yet that was her reaction.

" Let's leave the conversation here for now, I am about to pass out."

" Ok. Goodnight, Illumga"

As I was about to close my eyes, she left the room. I guess I really am tired. Please hurry, find me.
