Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 158 {Season 2: The culprit}

The fierce fight outside the building until this moment was increasingly heated because of the presence of Grimoires around them. The thorn-powered aura continuously attacked Midnight and Silentwave. Fortunately, Midnight could withstand the Grimoire by stubbornly kicking the right half of the Grimoire. Well, bodo very, want to how far the Aura is thrown as long as the teenagers are safe.

Just seeing Aoi and Okka's blood continuously flowing endlessly made Midnight unable to let the teenagers interfere any further. His guess is always right. Although his thoughts seemed selfish and cruel, however, Midnight thought like that because he did not want anyone around him to get hurt. Now, the reality is clear. Too good with Aura it might be good to change the way Aura thought that was their opponent. And if lucky, they can bond like a friend. However, the reality in front of him actually makes it clear that not all good intentions end well too.

Midnight is tired of being nice to others. It's fine to be half-and-half, as long as he doesn't involve others. Midnight bit the tip of her lip. The boomerang he had just captured turned into a black katana.

“Silentwave, keep them.”

“Good, mom.”

Before leaving, Midnight leaves behind some medicine to neutralize Aoi and Okka's pain. No matter the fighting skills of the two teenagers, their species was still human. From birth to growth, they are still human.

“Actually, who made this red thread?!” furious Midnight approached the Grimoire that was ready to hit Midnight with his sword.

“Mama, be careful..” Silentwave oozing interrupted his busyness treating Aoi and Okka. In addition, he also tried to comfort the frantic Jacqueline and Kenzo while ruffling their hair. Like a frustrated person.

“You two... Don't get too upset,” He said.

“Huft. Anyhow!” midnight insists on herself.

Like a gust of wind, the Grimoire that had been trampled by a giant tree trunk suddenly floated behind Midnight. It was obvious that Aura was ready to stab his sword into Midnight's back. But, stabbing that bespectacled woman was not an easy matter.

Midnight is more nimble than a Grimoire. The woman with her grimace slashed the Grimoire did not even hesitate until it split the Aura from the right shoulder to the waist . As a result, the Grimoire's black blood splattered profusely stained his face as well as his clothes.

“It's great to have revenge,” whispered Midnight. His smile was still etched on that sweet face. Kenzo and Jacqueline froze at the smile. They feel that the Midnight they know is jutek, cold, and love to insinuate it turns out to have a cold side that is not much different from the killer.

“It must have been you, right?” Midnight tightly grasped the red thread of the Grimoire. Then, he cut it off with his black katana. “It must have been you, right? EMMA?!”

DEG!

Instantly everything froze as soon as their ears heard the unfamiliar-sounding name. Especially Jacqueline whose memory automatically plays when she is in the crowd, observing the figure of a blonde girl and who sits on her sports bike.

“Emma..” Jacqueline swallowed her saliva right then and there.

So, the whole time that messed up at Carnater was Emma? With that red thread. He hurt.

Jacqueline glanced at Aoi with both her eyes shaking. The three's anger, sadness, and revenge clashed in Jacqueline's mind. His memories once again twisted the moments where Aoi was stabbed by the Grimoire sword. The blood that was so precious to Aoi was wasted quite a lot. Jacqueline couldn't imagine what would happen if Aoi ran out of blood? What happens if Aoi suddenly can no longer accompany her day? Of course, Jacqueline doesn't want to be left behind by people she cares about.

Instantly, regret invaded his heart and mind. Goodness does not always end well. It all depends on the person who receives our kindness.

Jacqueline wiped her tears. She was confused, exactly what were her tears flowing for? Because of fear or anger or just sad? Wh why?

Silently, Jacqueline raised her hand and let her palm come into contact with Aoi's pool of blood. The puddle is real even though he is in the fantasy genre. The fantasy was not always beautiful and looked stunning in their eyes. Sometimes the fantasies show their darkness.

“If Aoi dies... I.. Must be alone..”.

“Chloe! Wait!” the Black Aura. In the middle of the journey, unbeknownst to him, the tip of his shoe faced directly with the stone to make the Aura stumble.

“Don't go without me,” said Black Aura.

“Iya, yes..” Reply Chloe while holding Black Aura whose right leg was sprained by the trip earlier.  So sloppy. “Aura, I think we can solve this problem if we find the perpetrator who made this red thread,” explained Chloe.

“Indeed, who did you meet?”

“Not yet. But, this thread I think could give us a clue. In addition, there are our friends who outside must realize that this thread is connected to somewhere.”

Black Aura chuckles, “Cerobah.”

“Why laugh? It is precisely when ridiculed, he even realized his mistake. It is better to be silent than to tell people wrong,” response Chloe while observing the red thread that is still in her grasp.

“Telling people error yes?” Black Aura muttered. “I so remember Carmine.”

As usual, Chloe turned towards Black Aura with a puzzled look. The aura loved to hang the words while making Chloe curious. Lately, Chloe feels sensitive whenever she hears Carmine's name. The name of a girl who had died a long time ago but no known cause. That girl created Black Aura and the rest of Megaville. What an amazing fantasy!

“What's wrong with Carmine? You miss?”

“Hmm, it's kind of weird to say miss. I'm just weird about your words. That's why I remember Carmine who doesn't like to tell people wrongs. Actually, it's important. Even when working on MTK though, the wrong answer or number will definitely be blamed by the teacher right?” clearly Black Aura. Apparently, Black Aura's mood is good right now. Judging from the way he spoke and that not-so-flat expression.

“Teacher? I thought you didn't know the teacher,” joked Chloe.

“I know. I saw whatever Carmine saw. At least I also know the formula of calculating the surface area of the tube.”

“Hihi, you're funny. But, you're right. Lucas told me that if people criticize us, it's people who actually watch us from afar. So far, it's just Lucas, Aoi, Jacqueline, Rara, and you like that. I'm glad that you guys noticed me,” after saying her heart, Chloe smiled. To him, sharing opinions and stories with Black Aura was calming. He did not expect to have a deeper bond with fantasy creatures that generally only he could see in comics or movies.

Chloe's steps suddenly stopped. Black Aura looked in wonder. “Why stop?”

“Nothing. I'm just wondering why you'd rather fight than run away? Every time there is an enemy, no matter how strong the enemy is, you still face them,” Chloe told Black Aura. “You're not tired huh, keep getting hurt?”

For a while, Black Aura had not responded to Chloe's question. The aura was pensive, then it became aware of the orange light coming through the window that no longer had any glass. The light coming from the sky had been freed from the thick cumulus clouds. The sky is orange in the afternoon. That sky was what Black Aura had been craving all along. The color she thought she could only find in Chloe's world, now reappears to illuminate the Carnater's world. The light of the sun does not change. Her beauty and warmth are the same.

“To be frank, I prefer to fight. From the beginning, that was me. Fighting is the same as facing real-world problems. Besides, I've also been friends with pain. If there was no pain, I would not be able to feel the dark colors. If I was happy too often, I would cry when faced with pain. Know it? This Aura Fight secretly has something to do with the conflict in your world,” beber Black Aura which then ends with a sweet smile.

“So yeah? As it turns out, our world is related.”

Black Aura chuckled, “I also just found out. I realized that I was born from a girl's feelings. Even so, it does not mean I am a woman!”

“Iya. I-i know. Everyone has their own way when dealing with death inducements. Being persuaded to die sometimes makes me confused. We are stressed but ultimately feel that suicide is not the best way to solve the problem. From you, I learned a lot. Carmine is great! Utilizing fantasy to face the persuasion of death,” said Chloe ended with a sigh. Despite not meeting her person in person, Chloe could tell that Carmine had actually gone through a lot of hard times. Had the girl been alive, Chloe would have loved to be friends with her and thanked her for getting her into the fantasy world she had always wanted.

“Please death yes.. I've heard of it. On average, girls are easily persuaded. If his feelings had been hurt let alone his heart, the wound would be difficult to heal. That's why I, even though this man understands a little of the feelings of women. Besides, I understand a girl's revenge.  His grudge was so strong that he wanted to eliminate others. Originally I was born just for that,” as Black Aura covered her mouth while chuckling at her in the past, Chloe gasped in shock accompanied by the exclamation of “Eeh?!” the typical.

“Ja-so... You were created just for revenge?”
