Please, please please please! Shetra let me go! Go!" My tears were overflowing by this point of time as I tried to shake my sister's grip off. "Shetra! Let me go! I'm a saint! I can help Raina! Let. No, no! Raina- I have to go back to Rain! "They are all mindless puppets! You can't go back now, Raina sacrificed himself for us!" Shetra screamed in frustration as I started to struggle again.

"Then.the villagers?" I asked her hesitantly. My expression contorted into one of grief as I tried to comprehend what she had just said. "They are all being brainwashed by the Kyouma!" She shouted hastily, steps wavering as she catch her breath. They aren't the villagers you know anymore." I could see tears falling from her face while she ran with all her might. Much to my surprise, and agony, Shetra only pulled harder. I started to resist my sister's grip on my hand and tried to go back. "Raina! What are you doing! Don't hurt them!" I shouted, tears running down my face as I recall the scene of how my best friend had killed the villagers. One after another, Raina was cutting the villagers down. Then the sister who would always pat on my head and forgive me for always bumping into her. My eyes widened as I saw him cut down the old uncle by our tent, who always offered us some of his crops to fill our stomach. "Hurry and run!" Raina exclaimed as he prepared his sword, looking very prepared to strike the villagers down. "Raina?!" Shetra shouted in worry, but she never stopped running, tugging me along. "Hurry and go on first!" Raina announced as he paused in his tracks and turned around to face the maddened villages. I gulped as I motivated myself to run even faster. Startled shouts resounded around the village as they saw us running, and much to my astonishment, some held fire torches and started chasing after us! "Huh?" I was hauled from my sitting position by my adoptive sister and they started running, me right behind them. We have to go now." Raina urged as he fastened his sword onto his waist- wait, where did he get that sharp weapon. "Shetra.?" Suddenly, all tireness escaped me as I stared into her red orbs.

"Adlet, no matter what happens later on, don't worry. Shetra scouted closer to me and leaned her forehead against mine. Shetra was also quite confused when she was woken up, but unlike me, she read the atmosphere and her expression grew serious. "Hurry up!" He anxiously whispered as he tried to shake my sister awake.ĭoing as I was told, I packed all the important and valuable things we(Shetra and I) own into my backpack, and gave Raina a nod meaning I'm all done. "Go pack your things." He ordered with finality, making me even more confused of the situation. "Shhh," he hushed me gently as he took my covers off.

Beside me, Shetra was sleeping peacefully. I blinked and rubbed my sleepy eyes awake, then stared at my best friend in confusion.
