Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Brielle sat up when she woke up from the nightmare she had, she started gasping for air as soon as she woke up. She felt that her whole body was aching from the pain, she thought about her nightmare but she couldn't remember what it was.

She felt that it was a long dream, she could only remember falling freely, not knowing where or why.

"…Ath…e.."

"…Annora…."

She mutters to herself not fully awake yet, not knowing who was the person she mutters about. She holds her forehead as an intense headache coming from her.

After she mutters those names, she suddenly forgets about those names as the headache disappear, just like the dream she had earlier.

She came back from her senses as she heard a rustle on the bush, she looks at the bush where the sound came from and a rabbit hop out of the bush, heading straight to the deeper part of the forest.

She looks up the sky through the spaces that was made by the leaves to see how long she was unconscious; the sky was the same as before she lost consciousness. Birds flying on the sky and of them are raven flew straight to the sky.

"It seems that it's been an hour has past"

She spoke to herself as she rubs the blood that dried on her nose, she touches her throat, feeling that it doesn't feel tight anymore, she let out a sigh of relieve.

"Haaa, what kind of plan is that?"

Brielle stand up from the ground, patting her butt to get rid of the dust on her clothes. She walks towards the white flower but this time she covered her mouth and nose as she lessens her breath to avoid inhaling the fragrant from the flower.

She stops her tracks not far away from the flower but also not too close from the flower, she observes the flower then her eyes widens as she remembered something.

'That's Devil's Snowdrop?! Why is it here?! I thought that it only bloom where the place snow all the time?! That's why I didn't recognize it at first glance!!'

Brielle almost shouted but stop and only thought as she thinks about the consequences of inhaling the fragrant of the flower.

'I have to tell this to the old man!'

She thought as she took ten steps back, distancing herself from the Devil's Snowdrop.

Before she leaves the forest, she searches for the plant that the old man wanted. It took her an hour and a half after she find the exact number of Okrard that she needed.

"Hoouuu"

She sighs as she wipes the sweat that was forming in her forehead with Okrard on her other hand, she looks to the sky and it was still bright.

"Alright! Let's go back and go to the old man to learn more from him!"

She said to herself happily as she walks out of the forest and walk to the road where it leads to their village.

As she walks down the road, Brielle notice some smokes coming out from the inside of the village. She just thought that it was her neighbors burning dead leaves from their backyard but as she steps closer, her instinct told her that something was wrong.

"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel that something is going to happen…?"

She mutters to herself as she felt her heart feels heavy, feeling restless for some reason. As her steps on the road, her heart beats faster.

Seeing the gate of their village was open with bloods splatter on it, her eyes widen in disbelief. She slowly steps forward; her heart began to beat even faster as she thinks of many events happened.

"What happened….?"

She could only mutter to herself with shock on her face, she looks at the gate slowly as if the time was slowed.

She was 6 meters away from the gate as she saw bodies lying in the ground with pool of blood, not knowing whether it was there or not.

She was stunned to see the guards that she talks to an hour ago was now lying dead on their pool of blood as their face was burned, leaving full of burned mark on their face causing it to be unrecognize at it didn't left any facial features. Brielle could only recognize them through their clothes, her stomach slowly feels upset as she looks at the corps.

Brielle suddenly felt nauseous as the headache come from the smell of blood stench, she quickly covers her mouth to prevent vomiting. It took a while for her to be stable again, she looks at their blood again notice something.

"Wait…why is the blood too dry? Just when did this happened…?"

Brielle ask to herself as she swipe her finger on the pool of blood, she felt that the blood was too dry for an hour that she was gone.

She looks up at the gate only to felt her heart palpitate stronger than before as if she going to have a heart attack, she stands up from her position and began to enter the village.

As she saw the village full of dead bodies, ruined houses and fire spreading everywhere, her heart sank as her mind goes blank, shock to what she saw.

She quickly run towards her home to check if her parents and brother was okay, in the middle of her running, she fell down as she stumbles on something.

"Ouch, ugh…my knees got scraped"

She groans in pain as she sat down to pat the dust on her knees, slightly jolting in pain as her hand touch the wounds on her knees. She looks down on the ground to see what cause her to fall, her eyes shrank as she saw a pale arm, she follows the arm and saw a dead woman lying on the floor as half of her body was crushed by broken walls.

Brielle wanted to shout but couldn't, she knew the woman lying on the floor. She was one of the florists in the village, she often gave Brielle and Maven some flowers.

"M-miss…?"

She murmured under her breath as she looks at the woman lying dead on the ground.

She could only crawl backward as to see the horrifying image, her breath started to became slightly irregular. She quickly stands up from her position then run towards where her house was to check to her parents, afraid of them becoming like the woman that she saw.

It took her quite some time to arrive at her house since it was located at the northeast side of the village and the only gate was located at southeast side.

She stops running as she was about meters away from her house, Brielle support her body to her knees as she catches her breath. As soon as she stabilizes her breathing, she slowly looks up to her house. She was horrified to see her house that was full of memories turn into a broken house with bloods, scratches that seemed to be a weapon and mess was the only left thing to see.

"What…?"

Brielle mind went blank as soon as she saw the condition of her house, she wanted to check if her family is okay but her body betrayed her as she stands there motionless and felt cold feet as she clenched her hand into fist.

She gathers all her courage to step inside of her house, she slowly opened the door with her hands trembling. She releases a sigh of relief as she saw that her house seems to be okay, she walks up the stairs nervously. Even though the first floor seems to be fine, she still couldn't help but to be nervous.

Walking closer to her and her brother's room, she opened the door and stood there in shock as soon as she saw the scene as her world started to became gray.

Her 'father' was slashed at the back was tightly hugging her 'brother' on Maven's bed with their pool of blood, Maven was also hugging his father with burned marks on his face.

A single tear was rolled down to her cheek follow along with tears flowing heavily as she run on her 'father' and 'brother's' side, sobbing as she hugs them tightly, screaming, not seeming to let them go as she let out all her sadness and anger on herself.

It took for Brielle to slowly calm down, she looks at the situation of her twin brother. Although she couldn't see his face because of the mark she knew that it was her brother as she remembered his clothes when she left the house.

"Maven….dad…i-I'm so sorry…please…let just this be a dream…. I'm sorry…"

Brielle apologized to Maven as she snivels, caressing the face of her brother as she felt bumps and very dry on his face.

She drags her 'brother's' body to the back door and went back to drag her 'father's body'. It her quite some time for the two body to be dragged as she panted while sliding down her back on the wall as she rested there quietly with her head rest on the wall, looking at her 'brother' and 'father's' body.

After 5 minutes of resting, Brielle slowly stand up and leave the house through the backdoor where it leads to their backyard. She was worried about her mother as she didn't saw her in their house, leaving her hope for her last family member to be alive.

Unfortunately, God wasn't on her side. As she walks towards the shed where they kept their farming tools, seeing the doors of the of the shed was quite open, Brielle thought about the things she encountered earlier as her heart started to race up.

"No, no, no, no, no, please no"

She mutters as she run towards the shed and anxiously open the door, her world became dark as soon as she her mother with a sword thrust on to her abdomen

Her tears started to fall as she move towards her 'mother', she notice that her 'mother' has wounds on her body other than the wounds on her abdomen. The wounds looks like her 'mother' was fighting with the enemies before she died.

"Mom…*hick* Why…why, why am I still alive?! What's the purpose of my life if all my family are dead!! Please!! Why did you leave me behind…."

She shouted as her voice started to get hoarse, desperate of finding the answer of the reason why this is happening. Clenching her clothes as she aggrieved to her family's death, kneeling down on the floor as her head touch the floor. Screaming, sobbing and getting angry at herself, letting out all her emotions as tears fell down on her making puddle of tears on the floor.
