Chapter 24: The bloodbath finally ends . . .

Eliwa's POV

What makes us human?

From a young age, my parents told me to remember this one thing, "Eliwa, in this world there are only two people you need to be afraid of, one is the artist, and the other one is the criminal, both are forcing the world to change their flawlessness."

In the past, I used to be an artist, change the world in my way step by step, but now even though I became a criminal, I still was proud of my achievement, I know it was wrong what I did, but Qihe never forgot to tell me I was like Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to give to the poor.

When I was younger I used to believe the world was perfect, and as long as I kept that as a chant it would be someday, but it was a huge lie . . . 

"Hey, don't drown in your thoughts," Qihe said, a serious undertone in his teasing manner while he placed his jacket over me, and that was when I realized I had been shivering a bit, so I gave him a small smile, looking in the camera.

"Your ideas are always horrible, but I must admit, you overdid yourself this time," I said, giggling behind my hand while Qihe smiled, looking to the screen where Fanxing, a boy Qihe found bruised in a small alleyway, we had been taken care of him for a few years already, and he's always so obedient and sweet.

Yet for a few years, he'd been living with Jiyang to give him a better environment to live in, and honestly, I did not expect it to be this big.

Fanxing was tugging at Yibo's leg, crying, whaling and screaming to the girl; Hanna, saying she's a witch and that Yibo is already married, and I tried to stifle back a burst of laughter but couldn't help myself.

"My father loves my daddy more than he loves me." Fanxing pouted before continuing, "so don't you dare to hurt them you beldame*!" Hanna glared at Fanxing while I saw how bodyguards were about to come up, but Fanxing only started to cry harder while Yibo was frozen in shock.

"I guess you gave a heart attack to that little one," I said, chuckling.

"Which little one? They're both babies." Qihe laughed, poking my cheek while I frowned, Sean came into the image, no one recognized him, of course, they didn't, after all, they hadn't seen our faces in years, for the outside world we were dead.

Yibo's eyes widened while Zhan went to Fanxing, wanting to pick him up when he suddenly screamed, "FATHER, THAT WITCH WANNA TAKE DADDY AWAY!" Fanxing pouted, now holding on both of their legs, one side Sean, the other side Yibo and sitting on the ground, sulking.

I saw how a blush red appeared on Sean's face and both Qihe and I fell into a burst of laughter when it happened, behind them on the big screen that was made for purpose of the wedding a video appeared.

"Zhan ge, I love you," Yibo said, nuzzling his nose against his neck while Sean smiled, his hand playing into Yibo's hair before he pecked Yibo's lip, "I love you too my little lion cub."

And then they shared a passionate kiss for some minutes, making the audience gasps, some of their mouth hanging wide open while Sean placed a hand in front of Fanxing's eyes who was enjoying the whole scene and clapping his hands in joy.

"THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE, OUR YIBO WOULD NEVER FALL FOR A MAN, HE WAS FORCED TO, right Bo Bo?" I saw how miss Wang put on her fake doe eyes and glancing to Yibo who in his turn looked at Sean, helplessly, and I was internally praying.

"Calm down, Eliwa, trust fate a bit." I hit Qihe's shoulder, my heart beating rapid as if I was standing in Yibo's place.

"I am really sorry mom, but I was never the perfect boy you tried to make of me, I love Zhan ge, the one you tried to kill, and I am happy you did not succeed because I love him, more than anything else." And with that Yibo pulled Zhan's frozen shocked face with his hands, cupping it before tipping on his toes to connect their lips.

The audience once again gasped just as I did, making Qihe behind me chuckle, "it's almost a soap drama, isn't it?" I glared at Qihe before returning my attention back to them.

I was just on time to see how Yibo got slapped by mister Wang, both his parents glaring deadly at him while Hanna cried, muttering words like a chant under her breath, Sean holding Yibo closely in an embrace and Fanxing who was still holding onto both their legs finally stood up, walking towards the Wang couple, hitting their legs hard.

"You are such an ugly aunty and have no right to talk to my daddy, and you are an ugly old man who has no right to hit my daddy!" Fanxing quickly ran back to Sean and Yibo while I looked sideways at Qihe, where was the video?

"We need to trust Lily," Qihe said, holding my hand, squeezing it lightly and I nodded, if Lily wanted to wait with showing evidence we should continue to wait.

And almost as if heaven heard my prayer the screen went on again, a new video on display . . . 

"Finally we can get rid of those royalties, no one who would suspect us," the younger version of miss Wang said on the video, laughing devilishly while mister Wang smiled as awfully. 

"Those royalties are nothing more than stupid, and we would seize their place-" The video went on, but my mind was blank, cold tears rolling down my face.

"Shh, you're not alone anymore." Qihe embraced me, holding me softly while stroking my hair while my tears of all those years finally spilt, finally this all could be brought back to rest, my parents, Qihe's parent and younger sister, Sean's parents, Lily's parents, it would finally all end.

And when I calmed down I saw how the Wang couple was held in handcuffs by Haoxuan, who looked right into the camera with a wink, and for a second I thought I imagined it if it wasn't for Qihe's light chuckle.

He suddenly laid back, spread on the grass while he laughed, an empty laugh filled with grieve before he spoke up, "it took us 13 years, 13 years of revenge, and all that bloodbath, humanity only cares for money, they killed my beloved sister who never did anything wrong except for believing in humanity, I loved her, I would have sacrificed my life for her if I could've, why her . . . ?" His last words were nothing more than a murmur.

Perhaps we all carried grieve of those painful memories, but finally, it ended and we could settle down in a normal pattern, and maybe we can start another life, and leave our old ones behind us. 

Without my own notice I laid down next to Qihe, letting out a deep sigh, pulling the camera towards me, glancing at it, and I saw the assassins who started all this bloodbath for money in handcuffs, a couple who held a dear child in their arms, keeping up a gentle smile, a crying bride who assumed she finally caught the love of her life and a big audience who were still not recovered from the shock.

And for the first time since my parents died I felt some kind of peace settling down inside my chest, I felt tired, extremely exhausted, only seeking sleep, so I yawned, and next to me I saw how Qihe yawned too, and perhaps we could finally have a peaceful night of sleep without those disturbing nightmares of pain, blood and loss . . .

I am so sorry for this crappy chapter, there are many mistakes and I know, I will fix them later, today I felt exhausted and my head was banging, but still, I wanted to give you guys a chapter, I considered really long which POV to choose and in the end decided to go for Eliwa after this chapter there will be two more and an epilogue.

Do help me guys, do you wanna read something from Haoxuan's POV? I mean the next chapter will be from him and it will be about Jiyang and Hoaxuan, it's not a necessary chapter, so if you guys don't wanna have that extra one I can exclude it and there will only be one chapter and an epilogue left.

Btw do you guys have any questions for me or for the books or perhaps the characters, if so, drop them here!

I'm sorry if I let you all down with this kinda ending, sorry!!

As I mentioned previously this is my first time writing this kind of genre, so once again sorry, hope you all enjoyed this chapter and if so, don't forget to comment and vote!

I'll try to update when my head is't banging anymore . . .

Not that that will be soon *pouts*

Sorry for the long A/N, I will leave *bows* Byee~
