"The Life of Her"
-Valdan-
I stayed up late just to watch her sleep. "Let her be in peace..", I whispered in front of her bed and then stared out of the window. The full-silver moon is shinning brightly. Stars, too, lighting up the dark, black sky. Beautiful, like diamonds. Wish I could get one.. I keep staring out of the window, blankly.
"Yawn, you ain't going to sleep yet?" Ridan asked from behind.
"Hey! Don't startled up people like that. Seriously.. You?"
"Nah, I can't sleep. Something's bothering me while I sleep."
"What is it?"
"A woman voice.. Creepy one.. She told me, 'Watch the core.. Or both of you will die..' Something like that.."
"Sheesh, what was that suppose to mean?"
"No idea.. Maybe she means her.." Ridan pointed to Dexx, who is fallen asleep.
"I guess.. We should watch her.."
"We 'really' should.." And we watched her through the night.
-Dexx-
I dreamed again. Karmen was there, at the same place again. She watched me but I can't see her usual bright hopes in her gleaming eyes. This time, the surroundings looked a bit different. The silver moon turns blood-red and when its light touches the lake, it goes the same colour. Trees and the pastures are dying. Everything turns to the opposite.
"What happened?" I asked Karmen. I watched her carefully.
"..." She stays silent for a long time.
"Karmen?? What's wrong..?" I stepped towards her carefully.
She looked down to the ground and then said, "So here you are, my love.. I will find you to the end of the world and I did it.. I found you." - She looked up, and then her face started to break to pieces. A new face was there. It was 'him'!! His once gleaming, beautiful golden eyes, now turned into a black-sharp eyes with a blood-red part in the middle. - "Finally, you'll get what I want you to get.. YOUR PAIN!!"
After he said those words, he flash-stepped and striked me on the heart. I let out a shriek of pain. He took my lips and kissed it, "You'll know it sooner or later.." He released his knife from my body and tastes the blood from it,"Your blood are mine.." He grinned and then left me. The blood flows out of the wound he made. "I'm so glad it didn't hit the core but -ARGH!!-"
And then I fall to consciousness.
-Ridan-
"URGH!" Dexx was conscious.
"Dexx? What's wrong-" Before I could finish my sentences, blood burst out from her body again. It came directly from her heart.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
"Look, something come out.." I pointed at the strange-dark things. It looks like a heart but smaller. It grows on her heart and pumps tiny-black substances into her blood.
"We gotta take it out!" Valdan jumped towards her and then, something repelled him.
"Over my dead body!!" - Somebody shrieked - "That's her core, center of her life. You take it away and she's dead. You, too, will be dead.."
"How the--?"
