Chapter 2: Bonus Story

Chapter II (Side-Bonus)

 "Red? Red, wake up" I shook her rapidly, feeling my heart trembling, cold sweat was dripping from my face. She didn't wake up, the medicine must've worked – Red, wherever you may be, please be safe.

 My name's Zephyr and my status with Red, I'm also quite confused but she trusts me enough to be her. You might got a bit confused, why Red had suddenly collapsed in my bed – well, let's go back shall we?

-Script POV-

Zephyr: Red, this an abomination, I can't guarantee your safety in this journey.

She reached for her hand on his face, gently and warmly touching him. He touched her hand warmly and spoke to her softly.

Zephyr: Red, please, be safe.

Red: I know what I must do, Zephyr, if I come back….

He couldn't hear a word she's saying, it was like he was becoming deaf, hearing an eerie sound while she was talking. He felt his body becoming weak, his sight becoming faint. His eyes were slowly closing, but he gathered his strength and saw Red – her lips on his lips, passionately kissing him. Something wasn't right, her kiss made him weak, as if something was being placed inside his mouth. He knew, she placed something inside him, a message that he would later pass on – when she came back.

 It's been four days since you've fallen into a deep coma Red, I gently brushed my hand against her right cheek, her beautiful face kissed against the lampshade, how I wish you knew how much I've loved you Red, but these undeniable emotions should be kept hidden. I don't want to force you to love me, but I can't help myself falling for you over and over again. I hope time will truly align our fates in this lifetime. You got priorities that you have to be focusing on, and all I can do it support you from behind. All of a sudden, I found myself gently kissing her forehead, I'll protect you Red, I'll always protect you.

 Ms. Woods has been looking for her these past few days lately, and she's gotten a bit suspicious, what should I do in this situation though? Then suddenly, something came up, this may sound funny and embarrassing, but I'm sorry Red for doing this without your consent, but I'll do anything to help you with your plans. I kissed her hand gently, stood up, and left my home. Gladly, she gave me her keys, I walked towards her home, looking at the busy streets, looks like the city is preparing for a feast.

 I arrived at her home, unlocking the door in front of me, and entered her home. I quickly went to her room and opened her closet, I scavenge through her closet and found her work uniform. I undress myself, and transformed myself into Red, I looked at the mirror, admiring her beauty. I stood there for a few minutes, then I found myself touching her face – I quickly shook my head and dressed myself. Oh God! No! Snap out of it Zephyr, this ain't your body, its Reds'.

 Oh if you're wondering, one of my hidden abilities is morphing in any creature or person, anyone I'm able to interact with, I am able to copy them within a second. However, I am only able to do it 30 minutes a day, everyone in this city has their own unique ability, but it has a limit! I've been studying different kinds of power during my stay in this city, and there are only two persons who I've yet to be studied, Red and Ms. Woods.

 As I finished dressing up, I immediately went to Ms. Woods' office to avoid her suspicion, I entered her office and suddenly greeted me with a tight hug "Oh! Renia! I've been worried sick looking for you, I was about to do a search party but I'm glad you're safe" she said in a worried yet sad voice, I could feel my shoulders getting wet, is she crying?! The cold-hearted Ms. Woods crying?! Dang, this is going to my journal. I was about to speak up when she suddenly pulled me and looked into my eyes, dang, I forgot her ability was manipulation and hallucination, but no one knows when it will last that's why she's a mystery. "Renia, you are the only living family member that I've got, I can't afford to lose you again, where have you been these past few days?" she was looking at me like a mother who just almost lost her pup, "I-I was having a stomach ache, I think it must have been something me and Zephyr eaten a few days back, I apologize for making you worry" I said in monotone voice, I was actually trying to hide my nervousness, Red, you owe me big time and you got some explaining to do.

 Ms. Woods looked at me with doubt "You gotta stop hanging out with that Zephyr boy, he got the looks but I'm warning you, there's something wrong with that boy, he has the same attitude with Ur, I'm just glad you're safe" she said and patted my head, "Thanks for stopping by" she added, I nodded and went on my way. I went back to my home and locked the door, shutting the curtains and immediately went to my room.

 My body turned back to normal, I could her clothes ripping off, I'm sorry Red, I laughed softly and grabbed some clothes and immediately went to my bed. I gently carried her to the right side of the bed, sliding my right arm underneath her neck, and pulled her closer towards me. Red, you are like an enchanted forest, exploring you further makes me appreciate the things you hide, the beauty that you hide makes me mesmerize with you even more.

 Your plan almost failed, but I'm glad I was able to protect you, just what are you hiding from me Red. Firstly, you're trying to uncover your past, and now your sister is the freaking Ms. Woods? Just exactly what are you hiding Red? But whatever it is, I'm here for you, to protect and love you from behind. After hours looking at her, I didn't realize I had fallen asleep with her wrapped around my arms.

  I love you, Renia Darcy.
