No Errands Left

"Seran? Seran?Seran!""

Snapping her finger in Seran's face Thiolana woke him from a daydream.

"Are you paying attention to a word I just said just now?"Thiolana Questioned.

Seran scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Sorry, I guess I must've spaced out or something. Whadya say?"

"Honestly Seran your attention span is weaker than wet noodles between chopsticks. On the other hand, it's kind of quirky you walked all this way daydreaming."

Thiolana giggled.

Seran smacked his gums at Thiolana.

"So what were you dreaming about anyway I'm curious to know what kept your mind in a daze. Did you find a girlfriend?"

Thiolana said, teasingly walking beside him.

No, it's not some lady will ya shut up with that stuff. If you wanna know so badly it's about when ya left me with a hairclip as a gift when ya left.

Thiolana teased Seran more making smooching faces.

"Aw, who's a good whittle brother? You are yes you are."

Alright! Alright! Already cut the crap will ya your giving me a headache.

Seran said embarrassed crossing his arms and ducking his head downward a little.

Thiolana giggled tucking her hands behind her back flattered by Seran's reactions.

"You kept that hair clip riiighhhht? "

Thiolana stood on her tip toes as she wrapped her arm around Seran's.

No, I didn't keep that it was too girly what was I supposed to do with it anyway?

Thiolana seemed a little disappointed to hear it so she pressed ahead. She stopped in recognition of a familiar place.

"Seran guess what."

What?

"We forgot to get Mom a gift there's a store right there that we can shop from."

Pointing at one of Mamon's new stores Seran spun his head to the right in annoyance.

Tch, I don't have any cash for that kinda luxury.

"I've got it covered just use my Mamon card."

Thiolana gave the card to him & leaned against the wall grinning. Seran slowly caught on to Thiolona's scheme.

Hold the phone just a minute you're trying to send in that place alone. Guys It was your idea why don't you go in there & get it yourself?

"Well easy one I'm a model, two I'm a model, three that kind of attention I really don't want right now. So can you please run this errand for me?"

Seran scowled a marginal of his left lip rolled inward.

"Pretty please night buddy?"

"You haven't changed after all that time overseas you're still the same old same. Fine just don't go anywhere I'll be right back it's dangerous out here it's not like it used to be so keep with you."

Seran handed her a pocket knife he had with him from his bomber jacket.

"How'd you get this on the plane?"

Don't worry about the where & how just take it!

"What is it you said you do again? I want to know what is it you do for a living."Thiolana asked in suspicion.

Seran vaguely answered, in an attempt to avoid Thiolana's question without lying or telling the exact truth.

"I do the opposite of what you do okay!"

"You mean you're with the revolution an anti-Mamon group. Obviously, you couldn't hide it even if you tried I've done a background check on you before I got here to see what your lifestyle has been like. Arrested twice and put in juvenile detention centers."She said.

"Alright already with the lectures just stay put till I come back I mean it!

Seran waved her off walking away to the Mamon luxury store. Thiolana waited until he got a bit distant and went to the area where she truly sought out her old memories. She smugs standing before her the old fast food joint that Seran & Thiolana ate from as kids hid off behind an alleyway. Seran entered the Mamon luxury store carefully inspecting the place.He spots a photo of Thiolana plastered on the wall strutting down an aisle in a black dress sparkling dress.

"Holy shit Thiolana really is an idol now must be really hard now to go to places & not be crowded over. Words spreading already I'd better make this quick before someone puts two & two together and finds out who she is. "

Seran quickly searched for a gift befitting his mother. On display was a pendant with a blue amulet inside of it cased in glass.

"That oughta do it! Hah!"

Seran clapped his hands once together in the enjoyment he'd picked the perfect gift.

Meanwhile, Thiolana still snooping around at the old fast food joint for a taste of the past. Old & rigidity it was spray-painted with crazed ideals of deceased animals on the sign Thiolana was sickened by the sight.

"Closed down ugh why can't I have something nostalgic for once? Sorry little brother I got my hopes up on this one."

Thiolana leaned against the wall after the constant disappointment with her eyes shut. Unaware of her surroundings a ch-ch sound at her ear.Opening her eyes to find herself at the end of the barrel of a revolver. Thiolana gasped in fear as she looked away.

"You that girl in the posters right! Yeah that's right that's you gimme everything you got lady & don't you move or scream or I'll shoot you dead got it!"

Thiolana fumbles in her purse in a rush and drops it scattering her items across the ground her teeth chartered frighteningly.

"Hurry up lady! "The gunman said.

With no pocket cash on her, she hands the man some Mamon credit cards. Upset he tosses them on the ground unfamiliar with them in a fit.

"I can't use this trash where's the money!"

Hitting Thiolana on the side of the head with the butt of the gun she screeched in tears

"Uunnhh my head!!"

She covered her head with both hands as she bled from her skull.

Meanwhile, Seran gets a call just as he's about to check out at the register. Answering it he greets the caller.

Yello?

[Mysterious caller]: Hello, is this Mr.Hevan's I'm speaking with?

"Yeah, you got the right number who's this?"

[Mysterious caller]: Mr.Hevans I'm a treating physician for a patient at C&W Hospital.

"So you called for what exactly?"

Seran held the pendant overhead with one hand to get a nice view of it when unexpectedly the physician broke the ice.

[Mysterious caller]: It's about Mrs.Hevan's. I'm here to inform you she's unfortunately passed away.

The pedant crashed against the floor shattering shards of glass everywhere Seran was in shock. The clerk leaned over the counter in a fit shouting.

"Hey! You're going to have to pay for that you break it you buy it!"

Seran quickly hung up picking up the pendant. Suddenly the store's phone rang & the clerk picked up the phone.

"Yeah, mhm yes some guy dropped that really expensive item you put up yesterday and shattered the case."

The chatter on the phone continued Seran was still in shock when the woman questioned him once more.

"What's your name, Sir?"

Seran replied warily with a blank stare on his face.

"Seran… Seran Hevans."

The clerk seemed surprised as something was being mentioned over the phone again.

"My boss says it's on us take it Mr. Hevan's this is amazing your sister's my favorite idol. I can't believe I'm actually talking to an idol's family member I guess that makes us like acquaintances."

The clerk giggled.

Seran shortly realized not paying any attention to the woman that Thiolana was waiting for him & he had urgent news to tell her. In haste, he had no time to grieve he ran out of the store breaking the conversation with the clerk. The clerk yelled out to him as he barged out of the luxury store.

"Wait can I get your number!"

Seran ran across the street during a green light dodging the oncoming traffic as he was almost hit by a red car. At random it started pouring down rain out of nowhere.A sever storm that made the winds howl. Returning back to the same area he departed from Thiolana she was nowhere in sight so Seran called out to her.

"Thiolana-Thiolana Where are you?"

Awaiting around the corner in the alley Thiolona was shivering. Held at gunpoint the gunman notices she's wearing a necklace with a ring attached to it.

"What's that right there?"The gunman questioned her intimidatingly.

He points to the necklace with the gun.

Thiolana shakes her head no refusing.

"It's my mothers please I'll give you anything else just not this"

She sobbed holding the ring in the very palm of her hands reminiscent of her mother.

"Thiolana!"

She heard the scream of her brother eyeing down the dark alleyway in search for her . Streaming tears from her eyes in a slight relief to see him she called out to him.

"Seran! Seran! I'm over here get help! "Thiolana pleaded.

Seran ran down the dark alley the gunman's aim drifted Thiolana's heartbeat shifted into fight or flight mode never experienced a situation like this ever in her life. She had no motive to fight for herself, her body acted differently witnessing Seran's life in danger because of her own careless mistake she drew the knife that she was given to her out of fear before the man's aim could finally lock onto Seran she slashes his arm cutting into him.

" Damn it!" The gunman grunted.

Bang!

Seran stopped for a moment as Thiolana's mouth started to open up widely. He could tell she was screaming in pain, but he couldn't hear her voice for some reason the silent scream of agony irked him. The gunman fired a second shot at Seran he tumbled in the rainwater just nearly closing the distance. The gunman ran hearing the sound of sirens. Seran scurried over on all fours to Thiolana breathing heavily as lots of cold fog emitted from her.

"Thiolana! Hang on I'm right here you're gonna be okay I've got you!"

Seran said,putting his hands over Thiolanas stomach where the bullet went through. Losing lots of blood Seran becomes frightened having to feel the thick moisture of her blood between his fingers. Thiolana started straining her chest as her heart seems to have given out.Eyeing Thiolana in grave traumatized Seran with flashbacks of the day Thiolana left with their father holding onto his hand.

"No, please don't do this Thiolana cmon come back."Seran sobbed.

He envisions her again as she leaves she says to him full of life & energy in her voice with a giggle.

"I'll always come back for you knucklehead!"

"I love you!"

Reality awoke him as Thiolana took one final breath no more cold fog emitted from her. Seran became enraged gritting his teeth he grabbed the blade having only been grazed on the shoulder he screamed outward in agony standing to his feet.

Hate this place! I hate you all! All you do is take! take!take! take! take! take taaaake!

In anguish, the rain masked his tears Seran became crazed he chased after the man down the alleyway with the knife. He caught up to him quickly the man hurried down the stairs to the old train station. Seran shouted in distress at him from a bit of a distance.

"I'm gonna kill you! You have to die you took the last thing I've ever loved in this world!"

Seran jumps all the way down the train station stairs. He shouted again at the gunman.

"You son of bitch turn & face me you coward! "

The gunman turned and fired two shots but Seran scurried into the darkness behind the pillars. Unable to see Seran through the darkness he could hear the sound of his frightening groaning of hate.

" Don't make me do this kid I've still got plenty of bullets left that lady shouldn't have tried any funny business! Now why don't you just scram already! " The gunman said.

Tip taps of Seran's feet could be heard as his shadow passed to the other side of the pillars. Bang!Bang! The gunman fires two more shots.

Walking cautiously toward the dark pillars the gunman says."Hey kid! You dead?"

The train could be heard about to come obscuring the man's sense of sound Seran rushed out of the dark crying out with a loud scream of terrifying anger.

the light from the train shined in the gunman's eyes he fired another shot missing Seran.

Seran slashes his arm throwing off his aim and causing him to fire and shoot himself In the left forearm. The gunman quickly points the gun point blank at Serans forehead.

Ch- Ch-ch-ch-

The gunman realized he was out of bullets watching Seran stare face to face glaring like a maniac covered in blood. The gunman reeled the butt of the gun upward as he swung downward Seran rolled through countering & back fist lunged the knife through his trachea splashing blood all over Seran's face as the gunman gagged.

Seran came closer to his face whispering in a spine-chilling way.

"My sister made that same expression when she couldn't breathe too…it didn't suit her but it suits you just perfect don't you think so. You don't deserve an easy death but I can't stand looking at you either! I can't live without her you know that don't you?"

The gunman continuously gagged looking in the direction of the train.

The sound of the train wailed again.

Seran smirked.

"We're both going to hell where I'll torture you for an eternity"

With nothing but brute strength, Seran lifts the man by the throat with the blade tackling him toward the edge of the railroad. The headlights of the train shined before them as their heads leaned in front of the train the lights shut dark.
