The Rising Sun

49

I fell down. I heard another shot. Someone pushed me into the elevator. At first glance I saw Amore appear with a gun in his hand. Prince Riana looked busy finishing off the incoming enemies. Raymond was very close to me. He hugged me in his chest.

"You can't betray me like this Raymond. Remember, if my father finds out about this, he could ruin your life, your career...Everything you have will be destroyed" threatened Amore fiercely. "Kill ****** that and come back before I change my mind"

Instead of lowering the weapon. Raymond pointed his gun at Amore.

"Kill Me if you want to see your destruction" Amore looked up. Pride was clearly visible in his eyes. There was a loud explosion near us. The prince threw a grenade at the door. Ears buzzing. Dust was everywhere.

"Quick go" Prince Riana's orders on the sidelines of a barrage of weapons are increasingly heard.

"Go and you'll be sorry" Amore chimed in, trying to shake Raymond. Raymond was silent for a moment. Thinks. I really don't want him to get in trouble because of this. But I also don't want Him to go back to Amore. That girl is not a good girl.

Amore has a dark and evil soul. He did not hesitate to kill to get his wish. He knew full well that He could do anything without fear of the law. His father's power as both the Military and the dark business he runs makes the law meaningless.

He is that law.

He could decide whether the person deserved to live or die.

But..A shot is heard. Real close. Blood came out at high speed. I stared in front of me. Can't believe the sight I just saw.

Amore fell backwards. His body hit the floor with a pretty loud thump.

Ting

The sound of the elevator doors being closed. Raymond and I were together in the elevator.

We're speechless.

Raymond without a doubt. Fired weapon. Right into Amore's face. I still remember how the flesh on his face was torn apart with blood spurting backwards.

How long the elevator doors were open. I tried my hardest to stay conscious. I felt blood seeping down my back. Amore shot me. Raymond helped me. We entered the crowd outside the building. Police cars are coming. The sound of sirens waving.

"We need to get out of here" I whispered to Raymond. Raymond led me to a motorcycle that was on the corner. He took the key in his pocket. I rushed up. Withstood the pain in my shoulder. The explosion was heard. I stared at the building that was starting to burn.

I held on by wrapping my hands around her waist. Raymond drove the motor. Penetrate the approaching crowd to witness what had happened.

I led Raymond to our rendezvous point. Gererou was waiting for me with Nara.

"Daughter, is princess okay"

"Just hurt a little bit" I said lying. From the corner of my eye I saw Raymond sitting down. Blood was seeping in his stomach. Turns out he was shot for protecting me from Amore.

Nara is asleep. Phil gave her enough dope to put Nara to sleep. I'm grateful that Nara doesn't have to look at my situation like this. I sat next to Raymond while Gererou stood beside me holding Nara.

"I've faced worse than this" Raymond said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry that you're in trouble like this. General Hito's men saw you. You killed Amore. They won't let you after this. Then what are you gonna do"

"Killing him is not a sin. I should have done it a long time ago" Rafael recalled Amore with a look of disdain.

"I never expected to see you like this"

"I also never expected to see you as you are now" Raymond replied as usual. He always found a way to argue with me.

I want to say something. But Prince Riana has come with Phil. I'm glad he's okay. "Yuki how.."

"I'm fine" I said quickly even though I knew the Prince had seen my wound. He was there, Obviously He knew I was shot. But I don't want to make him anxious.

The prince looked at Raymond. Lips polarized. Raymond looked tired. Phil squatted checking his wound. He bandaged while Raymond wound. While the Prince is beating my wounds. We don't have much time. We need to get out of here. Before the cops or General Hito's men find us.

"Raffron.." I asked when the Prince tied my wound with the last knot.

"Dead" the Prince replied briefly.

The prince grabbed me while carrying Nara on his shoulders. He led me into the prepared symbol. I try to hold on as hard as possible. I've lost enough blood. I don't know how bad I got. But obviously, I can't faint right now. I have to be strong. We will soon return to our world.

Symbols on the legs We start moving. It seems like Serfa has begun to cast a spell to get Us back from the world there.

"Stay away from the symbol" Pinta Gererou tells Phil and Raymond.

"I leave Alviandra to you" said the Prince calmly.

"I will take care of him with my life" Gererou promised with confidence.

My eyes are pounding with Raymond. He should get to the hospital. But it's very dangerous. They'll find him there and kill him. There's no safe place in the world for him right now. After everything that happened, he had to live in hiding his entire life. By ourselves.

The symbol is moving fast. Forming a white vortex like a Blackhole.

We'll be leaving soon.

"There's no better life there. But if you want to come. You only have five seconds to get here"

I was shocked to hear Prince Riana's words addressed to Raymond. Raymond looked at the vortex behind me. Quiescent.
