Legendary Oops System-Chapter 36: Her Dark Past (II)
A werewolf.
One of the Alpha Group of Supernaturals, extremely savage brute power, razor sharp nails that could cut through steel.
They were one of the worst supernaturals to ever fight, yet here was one, before him.
It now makes sense, all those neck claw marks he had seen.
Yet looking at the creature, it was also dead.
All over its skin were blade like marks, formed from repeated stabbing with about 7 blades stuck in its body. What was more, there was a gigantic hole in its chest as if something had torn straight through it, blowing its heart to pieces.
STEP!
The sound of steps reached him and he snapped upwards in fear, turning to the far side, there he found someone quickly rushed through the open trees.
He ran forward after, following its track.
After a chase that lasted for close to an hour, he finally arrived.
It was another area filled with low green grasses, a sharpened end that appeared to the edge of a cliff.
There someone was standing there in a white garment painted crimson.
"Ahhhh,"
"Ahhhh,"
White exhaled roughly from the exhaustion, and before he could calm his pounding heart, the question came.
"You shouldn’t have come."
The words reaching him carried by the breeze.
Huuuuu,
White exhaled, slowing down his heart to a pace that enabled him rise to his feet, and he walked closer.
At least he tried,
"Don’t come closer."
To her words, his feet paused and eventually, he took a seat on the green grass.
Silence covered both, stretching forever as she remained standing there her back to him and eventually, he broke the silence.
"I’m sorry...about your parents."
He said noticing the quiet shivering of her body.
"It has nothing to do with you."
"They’re humans, like me, killed by a supernatural, my enemies. So yes, it does."
White whispered.
"What use is a sorry. They’re dead. Sorry is never gonna bring them back."
She said, her tone harsher, and White didn’t refute, allowing silence to dissipate the pressure before he replied.
"You’re right, Nova. Sorry won’t truly bring them back, and I’m sure your parents would also expect your sadness and your pain from their death."
"They seem to be good people, but...I don’t think they would have expect you use that as a reason to willingly remain in a coma, would they?"
He asked and she hmmphed.
"And what do you care?"
She asked coldly.
"Nova. You have to snap out of this."
White said putting some force beneath his tone.
"What use is snapping out of this? I’m useless out there. I can’t control my limitless energy. I can’t bring my parents back. For what reason do I live?"
"Running away from the supernaturals, discriminated by the rest of the world and getting into ancient feuds that almost kills me though, I know nothing about?"
"What changes if I die? Nothing changes."
"I...I live for nothing."
Nova mused, the quiet realization hitting her and sending a pang of pain through her heart.
It was an endless expanse of darkness just beneath the cliff. She didn’t know what they hid, but something tells her, that if she jumped off the cliff and into it, everything would be gone.
Her pain, her fears, her worries.
Everything.
Yet, the mere sight of the darkness lit an unexplainable fear in her heart which she couldn’t understand.
Perhaps, she would die. No...she would die.
But finally, it’ll be over won’t it?
Her steps wavered, toes inching closer towards the edge.
"So that’s it, huh?"
The voice came from behind, pausing the sliding toes.
"Your parents died fighting for a chance at a life for you, and this is the best way you can think of repaying them back...Jumping to your death?"
White said, a quiet sad, yet equally pitiful expression on his face.
"You don’t know anything about me or my parents."
She shot back.
"Might be true. But I do know that 370 students partook in the entrance test, Nova. Guess how many passed?"
"Just 150. You’re 1 in 150 who succeeded where 220 failed, and you think you’re useless?"
"I’m just 1 in 150. There’s nothing special in that?"
Nova claimed with a tired chuckle.
"Maybe it’s not special, but can you guess what happened to the rest of 220 students?"
White asked rhetorically.
"They had the same hope that we had, Nova. To join Xtremecybers."
"Even if they weren’t trying to escape from the Supernaturals. They had a belief and they had a brighter hope of the future."
"Yet, they were reduced to nothing but a stepping stone."
"Imagine the family members of these people who will one day learn their son, or daughter or brother or sister, never really made it, even though it appears they have."
"Or they may never even know, only hoping they’re doing well, when they’re already far dead."
"You managed to avoid that unfortunate fate but got crossed by Rukun Malevolent."
"I don’t know whatever he said to you, but I do know, Rukun doesn’t care about you, nor do you have to worry about some ancient family feud."
"He’s after me, for saving you. He wants me to feel pain, so he hurts you."
"But now, he knows better and wouldn’t try hurting you anymore."
"If you die because of things he said to you, remember, he only used you, and now doesn’t even remember you. You shouldn’t give your life up for such a scum."
"Your parents got killed by a werewolf. That’s unfortunate, truly, but believe, everyone’s got their demons and yet we all wake up and face it everyday."
"Besides, your parents wouldn’t want you suiciding, would they?"
His words didn’t seem to move her at all, as she remained there by the edge, unmoving.
"You know what your parents would have wanted if they were alive now?"
White said and she turned lightly.
"To see you grow. To live a good life, free without regrets. Not jump down a hill and allow your own mind to kill you."
"So don’t jump, Nova."
He said reaching his hands out.
She stared at it lightly before asking.
"Why...why are you doing this?"
"You’ve grown so much stronger. It’s so obviously clear you control limitless so much better. You don’t even need me anymore. In fact, I might just be a burden to you now."
"So why? Why don’t you just give up on me, too?"
