1 A Blazing fire

At midnight

In the middle of the forest

The forest was deathly quite

From the sky a house caught on a blazing fire can be seen

Su Ran stood outside the house with a calm expression

Feng Mian and the other four stood behind her in a row their usual indifferent eyes which was now filled with concern and panic fell on her

Feng Mian:"Do you really have to do this?"

They arrived two minutes ago looking at the blazing fire in front of him what else could he not understand after he knows her too well.However even though he knows what she is trying to do he still find it a bit unbelievable

"I have decided Ahmian,I want to end all of this"

Su Ran said who had just turned 18

Yuxi burst into tears,no matter how ruthless they are they cannot keep pretending to be strong and indifferent in front of their loved ones

Seeing her crying everyone else had red eyes.

Feng Mian said with great difficulty,"We don't support you doing this but if this is what you truly want we respect you"

His voice quivered a bit when he said 'what you truly want' then he continued,"but before that could you please explain why?"

He doesn't understand why all of a sudden and he doesn't want to accept the fact

She has been acting weird lately and he had been having a feeling like something very bad is going to happen for the past few days,now he understands why

Su Ran turned around,her beautiful eyes fell on their red eyes as she sighed facing them she is truly a human being not a machine without emotions.

She turned her face right to look at the forest because she is afraid that facing them she will soften and cannot continue

She said,"everything's over"

They know what she is trying to say but they don't know how to answer her so they could only encourage her in silence

She continued,"after that year I didn't have any goal,I was almost like a headless fly that didn't know want to do.Whenever I close my eyes I can see their eyes filled with despair and hatred floating in front of me,they say they want to take me,I can hardly have any sleep because of these hellish nightmares.I didn't feel alive anymore.

So I want to end all of this I am afraid that if these days keep on going on one day I will end up losing myself."

Her eyes are calm and indifferent and her voice was unhurried as if she were not opening up her wounds but telling some normal story

But it did not effect the slightest for the four of them from feeling disbelief,distress and ashamed.

Disbelief because they can't believe she had to gone through so much, distress because she had to go through all of it alone,ashamed because they didn't even have a clue of it.

Su Ran turned her face to them,saw their eyes and understood what they are thinking.

Su Ran said faint smile,"You dont have to blame yourself for it as I was the one who didn't wanted you know and disturb your peaceful life with these trivial things."

The four of them said all together,"How could it be triv-"

Su Ran interrupted,"You all have found your family and will spend your life peacefully with your life partners,so I don't have to worry about you all"

Su Ran said to Feng Mian and Yuxi:"I am sorry I can't attend your wedding in the future."

It's ok if she didn't speak anything but after she said it all four of them couldn't control their tears anymore,girls cried like a child and Feng Mian sobbed silently

Su Ran sighed and said to Feng Mian:"Brother take care."She sounded as usual but Feng Mian can see that she is trying hard not to break down

she has always been like this-independent to the extent that it will make you will feel distress for her

Feng Mian placed his trembling hand on her head and tried to speak with a smile as usual with tears flowing from his eyes,"Xiao Ran'er,my little baby sister I hope you will always be well and won't suffer like how you did in it past. I hope you can be free"

Su Ran couldn't take it when she heard 'my little baby sister' she hugged Ahmian tightly and a single tear fell in his shirt while he hugged her back and patted her little head like he did when she was a child.

Su Ran pulled herself together and withdraw herself reluctantly from the warm hug.

Su Ran said to the four,"Goodbye my partners.live well."

They started crying badly.

But Su Ran unwavering eyes were determined

Su Ran ordered loudly,"ATTENTION."

The four reacted subconsciously and shouted,"YES,Leader"

Su Ran announced,"I won't be your leader anymore,our memories stays and our group stays

But you all will be free,there's no leader in this group anymore starting today and this is my last ordered."

She said it was last order so they won't have any objections.

Su Ran said Loudly again,"SAY IT AFTER ME."

They said ,"YES"

Su Ran said,"WE FIVE FOREVER ONE"

They repeated,"WE FIVE FOREVER ONE"

After speaking Su Ran resolutely turned around and walked towards the house that's on fire

They completely broke down because they knew it's time but they still keep on repeating the slogan to encourage themselves because it always did when they were on missions somehow today the slogan didn't work but still they didn't stop repeating it because they don't know what else to do apart from this

The last thing they saw was Su Ran's upright back

The last thing Su Ran thought to herself was

' If there is next life I want to have a family of my own and lead a fulfilling life'
