The Repeaters

30. Dod bloem

Back to Leonardo and others. They were all now running in the middle of the city avoiding the pursuit of the enemies.

Leonardo clasped Monika's hand which from earlier looked pale, limp, and helpless. He had thought something might happen with Monika, but now was not the right time to think about it.

It should be like that. But Leonardo recalled a remark from Lily a while ago.

[Can't... Leo ... We can't go. If we go something bad will happen.]

'What does he really mean? Maybe Lily knows something.'

Leonardo turned the body, he looked back at Lily. Not knowing what the girl was thinking, she even looked the same as Monika pale, limp and kept staring down.

'He's the same. I feel guilty, but I'll ask you'

Leonardo opened his heavy mouth.

"Lily, what did you mean?"

The blonde girl slowed down her steps. As if surprised those blue eyes were wide open.

"That-"

Not finished talking a bunch of Edward's subordinates continued to chase after them, some had even swung a sword and almost hit the silent Lily.

Leonardo's hands very quickly he immediately pulled the blonde girl to be in his arms this was done so that his attack missed. After that Leonardo launched a hard blow to the cheek of the person. He fell on the ground.

Leonardo took the opportunity to run again. This time he was no longer interested in Lily's words a moment ago, because he realized that maybe it was difficult to say more important is that the two girls were in his hands.

They continued to run, breaking through some annoying people, destroying some stall stalls, but the number of such enemies did not decrease and continued to grow.

"Senior, you go first let me handle these subordinates."

Leonardo simply nodded in response. He firmly believes that Razor can definitely hold them back without any distress, so he leaves Razor alone against Edward's crocs.

Now Lily, Monika, Leonardo and Raphael ran far away leaving Razor fighting behind. Along the way Monika's breathing became increasingly abnormal, her face became very pale realizing something was wrong with the girl and the atmosphere had deserted Leonardo stopped his steps and gazed towards Monika.

"Are you okay?" leonardo asked, he held Monika's forehead and felt an incredible heat.

'So hot did he have a fever? No. I don't think a fever will bring out heat like this.'

Monika's breathing got worse, both of her cheeks flushed with such a condition she forced to smile, she looked at Leonardo with limp eyes.

"Huh... huh... I'm okay just a little tired?"

"Want a break, Miss Monika?" Raphael walked towards Monika. But answered with a head.

"No. more importantly let's go now!"

Monika's eyes looked very limp, like a person who had no energy, but from that gaze had a sense of spirit that was still high, so Leonardo was forced to follow what this girl wanted. Because he knew as much as Leonardo tried Monika would definitely refuse.

"Yes, come!"

The three of them looked at each other, raised worried faces and came back running. Actually along the footsteps, Leonardo and Raphael somehow felt a bad feeling. While Lily she looked very worried and a little frightened. Leonardo knew that Lily might know something, but he dared not ask out of pity for Lily.

"...."

Silent even though the enemy does not pursue, but this time everyone feels a bad feeling and can feel the negative air they do not know very well, but this feeling is very unpleasant to discuss.

"Huh. huh.... huh..."

Monika's view was getting blurred, the road began to stagger, the breath was messy.

"Monika you're sure it's okay"

Not finished talking Leonardo saw Monika's lips that let out fresh blood that continued to flow. The eyes of Leonardo and another friend widened, but he did not receive any attack, but from where he got the wound.

"hehe. You guys don't look at me like that. I'm fine."

'I wish it was, but Monika your face doesn't describe it.'

Leonardo slowed his pace. He planned to stop for a moment.

"Monika looks like we are indeed better to rest first!" Leonardo is still trying to persuade him.

Irregular breathing once again disturbed her, even this time Monika did not reply as if hinting that to speak was very painful.

"... ne. everything.."

Everyone stared at Monika. The girl seemed to be smiling sincerely from the bottom of her heart. Maybe all will be moved, but not for them. All could not stop staring at those blood-filled lips.

"... thank you everyone..."

Monika's eyes were tightly closed, slowly her body fell limp on the ground. Everyone stared at the body and could not believe it. Even Lily was already flooded with tears and immediately hugged Monika's body. At a time like this there is only one possibility that Monika is dead.

Even without being attacked, he died.

What exactly is going on?

Everyone doesn't know that answer. Leonardo did not feel that maybe Lily knew something, but once again saw her crying and hugging the corpse of Monika made her heart feel pierced by dozens of swords, although her sense of sadness was very damaged and sad, surprisingly the man could not shed a single tear nor a sad expression. He's completely empty.

"Monica!"

Monica! Hikss. hikss"

"You're kidding, aren't you Monika? You wouldn't die just because of that, would you? Sorry Monika! Sorry, it's all my fault!"

Trying to calm Lily down, Leonardo wanted to hold the girl's head, but he stopped. He felt the air of a familiar and gripping existence.

"Hee.. eventually my other slave died too."

Edward walked towards them, he smiled mockingly.

The anger of Leonardo, in a situation like this, he knows very well. Edward must have done something. He grasped the sword so tightly that it even bled without waiting for a long time he ran so fast that even the hair of the friends standing next to him was blown and immediately swung the sword towards Edward's neck.

"Why are you suddenly angry?"

"WHISPER! IT MUST BE YOU, EDWARD! AREN'T YOU?!"

"Hahaha... What did you suddenly say? Oh, I got it. It's about the dead girl, right?"

Hearing his words Leonardo pressured the sword algae, hoping to hit Edward's neck. But free. Leonardo's gaze was full of emotion.

"Calm down! I didn't do anything? And maybe the blonde girl knows something?"

Leonardo stopped attacking him staring back, his gaze staring clearly at the crying Lily.

[Can't... Leo ... We can't go. If we go something bad will happen.]

Wait, does this have anything to do with Lily's words..

"Woi! Lily my slave, why don't you explain this situation? Oh, I understand you don't want to be wrong, do you?" Edward smiled mockingly, but Leo let that go. He was still staring into Lily's teary eyes.

"It's not like that I'm just.."

"What is not?! The one who killed that girl was neither me nor anyone.. It was you. hahaha.." Edward was still laughing and making fun of Lily.

Lily's tears kept dripping, though,

"No! I didn't do anything wrong.. I just wanted to free Monika from her pain, I didn't expect things"

"Wasn't you think?! It's wrong, you just don't want to accept the truth.. You pretended to forget the slave's rules."

"The rule by which all slaves would die if it went too far with its master."

[if they get away from their owners even if it is only a few kilometers away then their heart will be destroyed and they die. Whatever you do is free!]

'Lily used to say that, but all this time even though we've been hiding Monika didn't experience anything. So I forgot that word. Why the effect is only starting now.. Don't say!..' Leo already realized something.

"It's all your fault you stupid boy! because of your meddling desire that's the reason why that girl died!" Edward raised his tone.

This time Lily was speechless, tears had been shed she was pecking and looked like frustration, this girl must have felt a sense of guilt for something that was not even her fault.

Leonardo actually wanted to hit Edward, but now the most important thing is Lily, she has to do something to calm him down.

Leo walked towards Lily. But Lily seemed to be crying and frightened, thinking that Leonardo would judge her.

Not looking at Lily, she decided to take her eyes off.

"Sorry.. Leo it's all my fault I'm really sorry Leo-"

A warm hug touched Lily's body. Leonardo hugged the tiny body of this girl to calm down, he did not forget to stroke her shoulder.

"No you're innocent Lily. Everything's gonna be okay there's me."

Leonardo strengthened his embrace.

"I was wrong Lily... Excuse me... It is likely that Edward is already around us every day, he must be aware of all our activities and let it go, maybe he enjoys our smiles before destroying them. That's why Monika's magic circle hasn't worked since yesterday. It also answers why this clown has not planned to chase and send men, he just wants to kill Monika indirectly and damage your mentality. So calm down."

Leonardo let go of his embrace and wiped Lily's tears using his right hand very gently. Lily could feel the warmth from the man's hand. Leo continued wiping away the tears and smiled warmly towards the crying Lily.

"I don't like Lily crying. Seeing your cry somehow slashed my heart. I'd rather you smile."

"You're innocent Lily. What's wrong is me, if I realize that Edward is always around us maybe I can kill him and nothing like this happens.. You're innocent, so smile!"

Leonardo stopped wiping Lily's tears and stood up, before continuing the fight he stroked Lily's head to calm down even more.

"Lily you go! Let me take care of him."

"But leo-"

"Raphael, you know what, right?"

"Yep, I'll take the lady to safety."

"Make sure it comes true, otherwise you could be my next target."

"I get it. Come on, miss.."

Raphael carried Lily, as well as Monika's corpse and left this place. Lily continued to rebel, but as Raphael grew stronger, he carried her and hugged her even tighter.

At the moment the condition has been deserted there are only two people. Leonardo and Edward looked at each other hatefully. The wind hit the hair of the two people, the atmosphere now became very gripping.

Edward smiled and clapped his hands.

"Great.I don't think you're that calm, when your friend is dead. But it's great that you can calm down. I salute you. You even realize that I'm always around you, well, even if you're late."

Leonardo did not respond, he continued to stare at the red flower that Monika always wears in her ear. He did not know what kind of flower it was, but seeing the flower overflowed his emotions, he became increasingly aware that Monika was really dead.

"You keep staring at that flower, huh?... Oh, do you know? The flower is named Dod Bloem red flower that will die if removed. Somehow it looks a lot like that lowly girl."

Leo widened his eyes, he was getting more emotional. Cold, white aura and strong winds circled around even the ground until it froze to about 10 meters.

"Whisper Edward! You said I'm 'calm?' how can I calm down, when my friend dies in plain sight."

"Then why did you act like nothing happened? And tell the girl to leave?"

"That's because I don't want Lily to see this scene and my bad nature."

"He, what do you mean?"

"It's obvious, the scene where your head was cut off. That's what's going to happen in a while."

Edward smiled widely, he was now enjoying the atmosphere that was happening.

"that's interesting."
