"I swore revenge to my enemies, those who goes againts me, those who stands in my path and those who take everything I loved..." part. 1
-Dexx-
I woke up quiet early today. My hands were so cold, everything seems so chilled this morning. I saw Ridan sleeping on a chair in my room. Then, I felt something very different.
Something must've happen last night, I thought for myself.
I looked around. There's no sight of Valdan around. I pulled myself from the bed, trying to get up but I can barely stand. I tried to walk normally but my legs won't move.
There's got to be something that I can use to move around. I don't want to stay in bed for the rest of my life!
I got my eyes on a wheel chair, 4 metres near the bed. I standed clumsyly and try not to fall. I reached for the wheel chair and sit on it. I smiled victoriously then I wheeled out of the bedroom, trying to be quiet as possible not to make any noise. I found myself on a large living room and then I saw Valdan, on the couch, watching TV.
"Morning, sis!!" Valdan seems cheerful but I can sense something terrified him. He looks a bit pale too.
"Morning, Valdan.." I smiled as I wheeled towards him.
"So, you found that old wheel chair huh?? Now, it'll be better for you to move around with that." He told me proudly. Looks like he's the one who found this wheel chair. Not bad.
"Looks like it.."
"You hungry?"
I nodded.
"Let's get to the kitchen. There's some food left inside so let's buy it today. I'm gonna take you to the town square. Don't attract too much attention when you're there, okay? Cos I bet someone, no some people are looking for you."
"Right."
He took me to the kitchen. Like he said, there's not much left inside. We got only some fruits, veggies, Ridan's (the one that his partner gave him the other day) and some milk. Valdan took some fruits and veggies for me (again) and told me to eat it. He dranks some milk and then left the kitchen.
"Stay right there. I'm going to wake up Ridan. What a sleepy head.." he mumbled.
I finished up my fruits and vegetables and then looked around the kitchen. There's a picture of a family: father, mother and their son. Next to it, there's another family picture.
Could it be Ridan's and Valdan's family??
"Morning, Dexx.." Ridan came into the kitchen. He yawned and then grab some of his left-overs and eat them. He, too, had a bit of terror in his face. Same as Valdan.
"Morning.."
"Hey, Ridan, can I take her to the town square? There's something I want to buy there and there's something I need to do and I gotta meet with someone.."
"How can we leave her out of this house unprotected?? That's ridiculous!"
"Wait, there's something I want to show you too. Her wheel chair can activate a protective barrier for her so that no one can keep track of her and the scent of her blood. Convenient, huh? I designed it myself." Valdan grinned at Ridan, who's still look troubled.
"Are you sure? Anything can happen to it.." He seems unsure about the little brother's big idea.
"No worries.. I can set it up anytime, anywhere. Just leave it to me!"
"Okay, but don't attract too much attention there. That's too dangerous for her."
"Calm down. We only got a few things to take care of. When we're done, we'll come home. Promise."
"Fine. I bid my leave too. I've got something to take care of. Bye!"
"Ridan, where are you going??" I tried to reached him but he's gone already.
"Don't worry. He's just doing some work. I know you'll be very lonely but hey, there's me left." he tried to cheer me up. His smile calms me down a bit.
"Yeah, I know. Let's go." I wheeled my chair towards the door.
"WAIT!!" Valdan screamed, hysteriaclly.
"Wha-" Before I can talk, he took me back into the room and then openend up the wardrobe. He picked up some clothes and put it on a chair next to me.
"You can't go around like that. You'll attract others. Ya know, this one might fits you.." he smirked at me and holding a long, dark robe. Very attracting, for me. I nooded in agreement and I realized that I'm only covered in an almost see-through white dress. Why am I wearing a white??
I tried to stand up and grab the robe from Valdan. I went to the bathroom to change while Valdan goes upstairs and change too. I looked at myself in the mirror. Not bad, I thought at myself. I can see myself in the mirror. My long, black hair covered the back of my body. My pale skin looks a little brighter red, blushy, but still as cold as ice. My dark, bluish-purple eyes looks so calm like a pure water. I put on the high-heeled boots I found in the room and then I go back to my wheel chair and wait for Valdan. He came down wearing a jacket and balck pants.
"Ready? By the way, you look nicer than before." he winked at me as he wheeled me through the exit.
I blushed a little and look down, "Thanks, you too..". I looked up at him through my dark hair, he smiled back. Not so long, we've arrived at the town square. Valdan put up the barrier and kept on walking through the crowds.
"Dexx, this is the town square. 'Garden of Onyx', that's what people said. Long ago, this place was full of Onyx, the beautiful black-stone. The view was always gleaming at everynight. That's why, we call it 'Garden of Onyx'."
He keeps on telling me the stories about this place. It's very calm in here. Everyone looks happy with a smile on each faces. So peaceful..
"Oh yeah, let's go to that store over there. I need to buy some food and gotta do a little errand over there." He pointed at the store with a big sign on it: 'Chatelain'. What does that mean anyway??
We went into the shop and then Valdan wrote something on a piece of note, looked around and then keep on writting. He gave the note to the clerk and then he paid him something. The clerk gave him something in return. Is this how the shops work in here??
He turned back to me, "Don't worry. I'm not a drug-dealer nor this is not a black market anyway. I'm not doing some dirty bussines. As you can see, this is how the shops work."
"So what next?" I asked him.
I saw the clerk is looking at us. He looked at me cautiosly. Valdan turned to the clerk and whispered him something like, 'It's okay. She's just an orphant I found in the street from the other day.' The clerk gave him a sighed of relieve and then smiled at me and gave me an apple and said, "Nice to meet you, young lady. Who're you?"
"Thank you, my name's Dexx." I thanked him and smiled.
"Thanks for the good stuff, Newt. Gotta go now, bye!!" Valdan yelled at the clerk as he took of with me and his stuff.
Newt, the clerk, waved good bye at us. I looked back and smiled at him. We went into another shop. This time, it's a clothes shop.
"Time to buy new stuffs for you. I got only one clothes for you and now you buy your own." He told me and then started to wander around. I tried to stand up. Valdan helped and then put me on a small bracelet.
"For your protection, as usual." he winked.
So I looked around. When I looked around, I felt someone's watching me. It couldn't be Valdan. He's watching me but not with this kind of gaze. Cold-stern gaze. It's shivering me out.
