She said that she will get her revenge and I thought so too but...

I am nearly on the verge of confusion.

How does carry and gently putting this unconscious man into the safety of her home...

"You can put him on the bed." I sigh when finally I am putting him onto the bed

For pity's sake, She is constantly harassing me on the way for carrying him carelessly.

How can she call it revenge?.

I was so confused to the point of thinking that the word in the dictionary somehow changes.

After putting the man onto the bed I search her room.

If I didn't know that Hyria has a key to this studio-type room.

I can never convince myself that this is a woman's room.

The color of the wall is dark blue and an endless bowl is piled up in the sink. While the dress is all over the floor.

Just tell me that she is a former man.

I looked at the woman in front of me while tying the man she wanted to get revenge from.

Sometimes it is really useful to have a body like mine. I am not a human in this world I don't even know If I was a human, to begin with. However, I am not weak as other humans in this world.

Then I turned my gaze to the unknown man lying on the bed.

If he is from the Smerte clan, why on earth is he doing here and why was he being attacked by his own kind?

According to the journal I read, the Smerte clan is hiding in the most hidden place in this world. Only a few will go to the human world and collect tears just to protect their clan from being extinct.

On the contrary, I might think wrong...

My train of thought stops when someone's hand reaches mine. I moved my head and saw her in front of me.

Her hand move to carry my hand and put it on her forehead.

"Do you think that he will recover?"

"I think he will be fine"

I moved and steady my hand in the air while her hand freed mine.

"I am curious as to why would you help him?" I asked her.

"I mean he endangered your life."

Her eyes flew to the man sleeping on the bed as silence fill the air.

"How can I do my revenge in that situation?" I saw her smiled sadly.

"When he just wanted to survive and If the ritual is wrong, to begin with then why did he do that so desperately?"

I don't know if I will praise her or she is just plain stupid by being so open-minded.

"I am hearing your thoughts you know?"

"He hurt you mercilessly and even trying to kill you and didn't even care "

"I just saw a person similar to who I am. When the black-winged man attacked him. I was just thinking that he is struggling to live just like me. So even if he's doing that, I just can not hate him."

HYRIA'S P.O.V.

Ever since I was a child my life is in constant danger.

I thought that it's a coincidence or just me having bad luck.

But then, the man I look up to and the only person I trusted, tried to kill me so desperately.

Back then I just wanted to live desperately too.

Like the desperation, I saw with this man lying in front of me.

Hyria smiles faintly as soon as he saw the ring on her finger.

The other day I thought that the ring somehow is familiar, now I know why.

That day in my younger days, I remember that I wore it. That time the ring seems to adjust to the owner's body

However, my little body back then cannot support the energy that the ring is releasing and I almost died

That incident was heard in their entire clan.

From then on...

Everyone calls me a cursed one.

Again I looked at the man lying on the bed.

"I wanted to ask why did he do that? I mean I have a life too."

"Why do you have to know?"

"Because it is something that I failed to ask a certain person when I was younger." It makes my heart heavy and tight enough that it hurts...

Why did he betray me?

And why did he want me to die?

When I trust him more than anyone else.

NADIE'S P.O.V.

I wanted to know a lot but the man is starting to wake up. I move away but Hyria grabs me on my shoulder.

"Where are you going?" I touch her forehead once again.

"I can not be seen by anyone else, but do not worry. I will be near you."

The moment his eyes open, I vanished and hide within the dark wall of the room.

A few moments after opening his eyes he moved only to know that he's tied up. He struggles very hard to free himself but surprisingly the rope is strong enough to withstand the power of a smerte.

"Fuck!" Then after a few tries, he started to notice Hyria staring at him.

"You?" His eyes were focused on Hyria without having any emotions.

"Hi," she said

"Where am I?" He asks coldly.

"Where you are doesn't matter. What matters most is who are you and why do you want me to die? "

"Why would I tell you that?"

"Because you are on my mercy." After she said that, the ropes started to glow. While the man screamed in pain.

"These are ropes of honesty, it will be painful if you can not answer my questions."

My jaw dropped to the things I am seeing. It's as if the woman I saved was nowhere to be found. I looked at the rope that was all over a poor man's body. It is glowing bright. Where did she get the rope anyway?

"You little Ahhh!!!!"

"Just answer me and it will be over."

"My name is... shit!!!" He said while any painter will surely struggle to paint his face due to the pain.

"Your name is Shit?" Hyria giggled at what she heard.

While I am laughing at my heart's content since they will not hear me anyway.

"No!, stop this!" Hyria slowly walks toward the unknown man.

"I can not stop it. The only way to stop it is by answering my questions."

"My name.." He bit his lips to stop groaning from pain.

"What?"

"MY NAME IS SHIER!" The rope lessen its light as the sign of truth between his words

This time my world just stops.

My hand trembles when I heard his name and I can not help to put my hand in front of my face.

Did I heard it wrong?.

"Your name is Shier?" Hyria asked for confirmation.

"Yes! Are you deaf?"

I clenched my fist to control my trembling hand

"It can't be..."
