Parting

A shadow was walking on a path, the scenery was completely blank. It was peaceful. As the figure kept walking, the surroundings started to change colors, gray, yellow, orange, pink. Then it turned scarlet red, the steps became heavier and heavier but they halted. In front, now there was a foggy black. The other lights were completely covered. The shadow was still on his spot, unsure if it had to step forward or not.

A pair of eyes opened, they were bloody red, a faint trace of black could be seen. " Urgh ", thin hands rubbed the head full of bluish-violet hair. An unfamiliar scent reached her nose, making her eyes turn wide, she swished around, observing the place she was actually in. She lifted her arm to get up, but a sharp pain rang from her wrist, she glared at the source and her gaze was filled with disgust. The wire was grabbed and pulled away, leaving a thin trail of fresh blood on the pale wrist. " Hissssss ! Those things shouldn't exist, so creepy tsk ", she threw the wires away, getting ready to get off from the bed. She looked at the feet of the beed, looking for a pair of shoes, but there were none. As her gaze swept the whole room she noticed a figure who was laying on a bed not far from her. Long messy hair was scattered on the pillow, while some slid on the floor, half body was covered carelessly by a dark blanket. " Deu ? ", she walked towards him barefoot, she took out her head to look at his face, since he was leaning on his side while the back was facing her. His brows were slightly arched, even when he was sleeping, this guy, can't he relax when he sleeps ? Glancing at his face she could clearly tell that he thinned a bit, even his sleeping posture betrayed his anxiety, ready to pounce on the enemy if he dared to cross the door. She pulled over the blanket, covering him properly. Her gaze was filled with confused emotion, her splitted past was a mixture of familiar yet unfamiliar feelings. She shook her head laughing inwardly, ' Oh Eventhlyn, did those comfortable years make you forget your past ? '. I need to wake up, and I must leave this place. She needed to finish what she swore to do when she escaped from that hellish place. But while running away, she lost her memory, and time was wasted just like that. Or maybe not ? Who knows. Her train of thoughts stopped as a cold feeling invaded her body, calming her mind, letting her organize her thoughts. She searched the room looking for a few items, after picking everything she needed it was packed in a small bundle. She pulled down her cape covering her face, ready to leave, but her legs went still for some reason. Her eyes slid back to the haggard figure who was still sleeping, unaware of nothing. A bitter smile appeared on her lips, he wouldn't be so tired out if he didn't look after her while she was unconscious. She knew him better than anyone else, he was a light sleeper, a slight sound was enough to wake him up. But now, it wasn't the case. She took off her screen device and left it on the table, then her brows furrowed, there was still a tray full of untouched plates. She rummaged in her small bundle finding a small piece of paper, she wrote something then she put it in Deu's hand. He seemed to feel something so he grumbled something, but he kept sleeping. She sighed, she walked firmly towards the window, and jumped out.

She fell on the roof, it looked like that the building wasn't that high, under there was only only a ground floor. She took small steps, nearing the edge, where it was lower, so she could safely jump down. Her chest moved up and down, following the deep breath, she took a small run-up and folded her arms near her chest and jumped. A thud was heard, followed by an unclear grumbling. " Tsk, I'm so weak now, I need to build up my physique, it is a must ". She walked in the direction where it was more crowded, easily blending in, disappearing completely.

Meanwhile, Graydon and his group were discussing their future plans, since they were still since the last few weeks. " I'm going to resign from my current job since i can't keep it ", " sure cap, I've done the same ", nodded a rust eyed lad, " Captain can I maintain my current identity ? ". Graydon looked at the girl who happily asked that question, " Sure Lilith, since there's no harm ". Then his gaze swept one by on his companions, " So it's decided like this, Lilith will do her way, Deliliah and Jaylen are okay in their current position. Me and Walden need a new job. The only ones left are madman and Eventhlyn ". " I'll go to see them ! ", Lilith sprung up from her seat walking upstairs. As she took a step a loud crash resounded above. The other members stood up, their senses turning sharp, they quickly climbed the stairs and ran towards the room where A-003 was recovered. In the midst of the mess a figure had his harm slammed on the wall, leaving a bloody hole. It was Adeus. Graydon and the other boys strode towards him, to stop his madness. " Hey madman, sober up, what happened here ? ", " Where's A-003 ?! ", Lilith widened her eyes, seeing no trace of her in the room. Her friend coldly scanned the room then replied, " she left ". Jaylen looked at her, " How are you so sure about that ? ", hearing this she rolled her eyes, " There were no traces of intruders, do you think that those bastards would care to act sneakily ? And also I saw a piece of paper on your bed, Adeus ". He was currently held down by the three boys who were already sweating from their effort to restrain him. He was surely a beast in human skin, his strength was really scary. The point was that both of them went under the same experiments, but something went wrong in his body, becoming what he was now. The three of them were still not enough against him.

Now he seemed to have cleared his state of mind, he stumbled to his bed searching for the note, as he saw he grabbed it. It was her handwriting, ' Deu, sorry if I left without saying anything to you, but I had to. I'm gonna to finish what I've started, once I'm done I'll come back to look for you, okay ? So, while I'm not here, please take care of yourself, you looked really haggard while sleeping '. His eyes read those phrases again and again, veins bulge from his fist. Then he glanced at the table, a small wrist-screen was left there.
