Chapter 6: When a World Calls

Vinci's bloody tears turned fully water and she became her other side. The supposed good one. Which she was. But she didn't feel as though she was. Her watered tears fell to the scorched ground. On hands and knees she screamed out in pain. Now she was alone. Just like in the beginning.

"No!"she cried out. All their years in isolation and darkness had given them an unhealthy anixety and fear of the dark and of being alone.

Everything was so still, tears still rolling down her dirty cheeks. If she'd known that she had killed this Earth, she would have taken being tortured for eternity until the devil's died out, over being alone. Numbness and the unfamiliar chill of Death seized, and spread throughout Vinci's whole being. She laid down on the ground. As time passed on, she lay there, with an unending empty stare.

"Kid, please get up. There is another answer."her demon, Leviathan's voice was so gentle, but was laced with pity. He felt guilty, which was so unbecoming of a demon such as he, he had truly come to love his pure beloved bond. And grown very protective of her. But she remained silent, still as though she was dead. She didn't know how much time had passed. But much time had. Suddenly, she stood up. Wandering around the world, time still unaffecting her. Eventually, she found a cliff. Octavion's image, now engraved in her mind. She wished to feel anything. Her heart began to ache, turning to painful heartbreak. Tears rushing down her cheeks. She placed her hand over her breast, feeling a heartbeat.

"I don't feel alive."her voice cracked, she walked to the cliffs edge.

Octavion.

Vinci stared blankly over the precipice. Tears still rushing from her eyes, her right eye's tear immediately turning bloody.

Octavion..

She felt the lump in her throat. As she whimpered thinking of him.

Octavion...

"I'm coming.."she said lowly, she turned, falling back into the air. Anxiety had filled her when she had done it.

Wind whipped her dirty and long dark curls, the sound of rushing air filling her ears.. She closed her eyes, breathing in, thinking of him.

Her body crashed into the ground. Her arms and legs stretched out. Her gorgeous brown eyes stared blankly up at the darkened sky.

She felt another presence. But she ignored it. As a water tear streaming down her left cheek, and crimson streaming down her right. She felt it was only her body wanting it so bad, thinking it, to trick her.

Suddenly it was close, right on top of her, "Vinci.."a voice called out.

She didn't move, but she began aching all over, "Please stop..."she cried, she closed her eyes.

"Vinci..."It was Lorelei, her voice cracked.

"We killed you."both Vinci's spoke as one, the streams continuing, her eyes were blank, she still hadn't moved from her stretched out position, laid feet beloq the ground in an outline of her body.

"A millennia ago..."Lorelei's voice cracked again, as she landed next to the hole where Vinci was. Lorelei's icy blonde hair, crimson no longer.

"Why are you alive."Vinci's voice was flat.

Lorelei's heart ached, at Vinci's flat tone. She wanted so bad to see Vinci's face, to hold her, and...

"Vinci,"Lorelei's voice trembled, she didn't want Vinci to be with Octavion, "I can send you to Next Earth where, your precious Octavion is."she held such envy and hatred for him.

"After the Original Earth was destroyed... The 2nd Generation God and Satan moved every soul that had died here and transfered to the Next Earth,"Lorelei's heart pounded,"You don't remember, they wanted to keep it from you."she choked up, she hated thinking anything violent about Vinci.

"But, you and Octavion found each other once again. And..and I,"she gulped, "I stole you, blaming my daughter's lover's death on you."she looked at her feet.

"You wh-"

"Let me finish!"Guilt overtaking her. "I let her torture you, because I couldn't stand seeing you and Octavion being together.. Let alone happy."she gripped her heart, which began to ache. "Life goes on, but the memory, legends, and ties to you remained, as they always did and always will."Lorelei continued.

Vinci moved, her bones had healed themselves. Standing up, she jumped,  then climbing out of the crater. Vinci looked up at Lorelei, taking in her tall frame and her endowed body. Every inch of her making Vinci sick.

"How could someone be so selfish.. So cruel.."Vinci's words, colder than ice, cut Lorelei like a sword.

Lorelei looked down at Vinci, her curvy features were hidden by the baggy prison garb. With an aching heart she felt the only way to atone was death, another 1,000 year sleep.

"Cut me down."Lorelei fell to a kneel, bowing her head.
