Chapter 2 - William

Chapter 2 - William

The dampness of the ground woke him up. The smell of bacon being cooked mix with the rotten rot of earth nauseated him. Slowly he opens his eyes and what he saw roused in him fear beyond madness. I will die in this rotting hole and no one will be able to tell her the truth…

Oh, you have woken up, did you sleep well? The devil smiled while asking him politely whether he would like an egg to go with his bacon.

The face that peered down looking at him is leering with madness.
Hmmm?? I can’t hear you very well, this is your last meal, are you sure you don’t want to eat em? Oh, you mean, I can have it all? Well, thank you very much!! Killing is truly exhausting; especially when they scream…that’s the reason I gag you up.

While munching, he jumped down into the hole while holding the plate full with beacon and egg.
Hmmm?? You want me to take it off? Can you promise not to scream, please? It’s truly annoying to hear a grown man screaming, it’s a melody if it came from the lovely ladies you shared your room with. Here you go, don’t scream, ok, or I’ll cut your tongue off and give you a smile from ear to ear and get it over and done with.
With one painful rip, the devil tore’s the tape that binds his mouth; gagging and coughing, he spits at the devil face

I won’t betray her!!I will die laughing my ass off, not screaming like the little bitches you played with!!!

There’s a flash of anger on his face then turn to amusement, as the face broke into a wide smile and laugh
The devil’s laughter shaken his very bones and what little courage that he possessed

Setting the plate aside, the devil spoke to him with his deep baritone voice full with amusement
You assume that I’m going to kill you which are the obvious conclusion ones would come to given the circumstances. Fear not, it is not your death that I want but your knowledge is your leverage, use it well.

I’m not going to betray her! Kill me and get it over and done with!!

Why are you in such a hurry to die? I can torture you slowly, play with your mind, giving you hopes and crush it again and again like good old days. Remember, you plead to me over and over to make her happy? Isn’t death free us all? Isn’t that the ultimate happiness?

Shaking more because of anger and frustration, he looked into the eyes that is looking at him with amusement of his pain
Do not talk like a madman. I know you are just pretending to be mad; your grief is tearing your mind! You are truly a pitiful man, you seek happiness to fill the hole in your heart but you refuse to face reality! You never want to change. Changes frighten you! Yes, you are a coward, brother!! She is her daughter! Do you want to destroy the only child of the women that you ever loved?

The madness in his eyes replaced by wrath and grief, his amused face is replaced by anger
NO! EVEN IF SHE IS HER DAUGHTER, SHE BETRAYED ME!! Any child from that man’s loins shouldn’t exist! I will wipeout his roots until nothing is left!!NOTHING, YOU HEAR!! It’s either you are with me or not. She betrayed you too, Will…

Shaking his head, he pleads with his eyes to the only family that he ever loved and trust…when did everything gone wrong, why didn’t I realized it sooner…regrets are the only emotion that is left and haunts him since that day
I will never betray her, even if you have become the devil, I will believe in her, she truly loves us and I know you know it too…stop torturing yourself, Liam. Killing these innocent girls won’t bring the past back nor it will heals you. If my knowledge is the sacrifice needed to bring the old you back, I’ll give it to you, brother. Release me from my bond.



He touches his brother mind and knew that he agreed to submit to him. Finally!! Finally, I will be complete; I will have my revenge…hatred and anger are the ones that fuels him that make him able to live and move on ever since that day

Here, I thought it will take time to break you. I’ve never seen how the transfer been done. You are the only person in the world that I trust, do not betray me, Will.

Since, when did we close our heart for you not to understand what I feel, brother, we used to know everything about each other. Smiling sadly, he holds his brother’s hand, it’s time for me to let go…Orsia, give me courage to pull this through
I will be with you all the way until you are ready. Do you know that twins are taboo between our clan? It is said that in the womb, the stronger fetus will absorb the life of the weaker one. It is a tradition for the family to give half a name for the twins, because when one of the twins dies, the other will become a full person. None of the family suspected us because both of us have been strong, but I always know that I will become one with you, Liam.

Information and data start pouring into his mind. Spiral of emotions and memories flashes through his mind, there’s a presence that keep his mind sane and the process is too rapid to be digested if not because of the barrier that Will erected in his mind…he’s helping me..Why? What is this?
What nonsense is this, Will? I’ve never heard of this!! You are the eldest! I have always envied you!

When you have become William, you will know the truth. It will hit you hard. Harder than losing her, I gave you my life to change the devil inside you. Be strong, little brother, good bye.

With all his strength he dug his fingers into his chest, commanding his heart to stop. He felt the life draining from his body, going into his brother who is still holding his hand.

Waves of date and memories going through his mind rapidly as he felt his brother dying

Wait, Will!! No, this is not what I intended!!

The last memories shocked him, the pain, coursed through his body circulated in his memory bank, rearranging data, filling in the voids and correcting the information, I am wrong, Anubis don’t take him, I am wrong, please stop, brother…he didn’t realized the tears and his voice screaming, asking his brother to stop
With his strength, he is trying hard to pull Will’s fingers from his chest but to no avail. Light blinded him and he fell down, unconscious trying to reach his already gone brother.

Chapter 1 - Maya

Chapter 1 - Maya

It is midnight. It is always the same moon; the white round of ethereal light, shines through the open window caressed by the soft dance of the white curtain. The light breeze brought in the coldness of night and the voice that carries the sad melody sounded as otherworldly as the persona herself

Di bawahnya sinar bulan terang purnama
Air mataku menitis bagaikan embun
Melihat dikau melangkah tinggalkan semua
Ke alam yang baru begitulah jalanan hidupmu


Why do you always sing that song?
Whispered a childishly sweet voice to the reflection in the mirror
Untuk mengingatkan diriku tentang kisah lalu
Replied by a voice, so soft like a zephyr whispered to the girl sitting by the window
Don’t ever leave me, tell me what to do, to ease your pain

The same sweet smile didn’t reassure the doubts. It’s painful not to know the reasons behind despair.

Don’t protect me. Ignorance is not what I seek even though I know how blissful it is not to know. Neither I am too naïve nor weak not to do justice for you! Why came to me when you don’t trust me?
Masanya akan tiba pabila kau bersedia untuk menerima aku sepenuhnya, Maria.
When is the time yet to come? I’m prepared to be awakened, Maya. Or is it pity that stopped you?
Kau akan hilang, Maria. Hilang dan mati di dalam aku. Bukan belas kasihan atau simpati yang menghalang aku.
Love stops you? We will become one, Maya. I shall not be lost. Both of us are vital for the ultimate design. Believe in me as I trusted you with my life.
Tidurlah, wahai puteriku. Kitakan berjumpa di alam al-mythal
When I’ve died, Maya?
The cynical tones brought a smile to her face
Kematian dan ruh bukan sinonim walaupun di dalam konteks yang sama
Goodnight then, my dearest. We will meet at the place of memories

She is still smiling when the ghost of sleeps touches her; all the voices cease to exist. The dream comes quietly as the sound of the night.

________________________________________________________

In the dream, raindrops like tears fall onto the body. Lies on a red stone; altar bed of sacrifice. The dead tree looms over like a death-god with a scythe. As she got up, the waves of the sea broke at her feet, sending shivers piercing her heart with coldness. Coldness and darkness wrap her like an invisible robe on her naked body. When the red moon sinks into the ocean, the song came;

Di bawahnya sinar bulan terang purnama
Air mataku menitis bagaikan embun
Melihat dikau melangkah tinggalkan semua
Ke alam yang baru begitulah jalanan hidupmu


When she opens her eyes, the song is still echoing inside her. The sunlight that woke her from the dream always confusing since it is always forever night in her mind. The room seems unreal; the body is not hers. Finally, it dawns to her to remember the Judas of Lust. To taste the sweet nectar of sinful betrayal left her with nothingness. Nothing happened? She only prayed that the blissful ignorance can last. Nothing is everything. That is the life she is living because ignorance is not only bliss, it is the way to continue living. In her head, there’re voices, murmuring choices. Eyes, blanking stare, a lifeless light shone through from the reflection of the mirror as she gets up. A crying smile, an empty heart, a walking doll, shone in the reflection. No ashes, no dust, only cold revenge; given life by death. Until all is over the eternal sleep shall not come.
