Fate Of The Twelve (Completed)

Chapter 41:

       Cyan

       "You're awake! Are you alright?"

       My eyes traveled from the ceiling to the person at my side and saw the fourth ranker, Muriel, looking at me with concern and worry in her eyes that were still a cerulean blue, their true colors hidden behind contact lens.

        Remembering everything, I immediately tried to sit up when I felt pain course through me, originating from my chest and I grunted in pain as the fourth ranker hurriedly aided me and helped me lean my back against the headboard of the bed I was in.

       That's right, Rex... He was taken by the demon in my stead... I have to help him, I had to save him now------

        "Geeez. You have to be careful you know? You're wound is healed but the pain still hasn't receded so you have to wait for at least an hour for it to completely fade." Looking at the door, I saw the red headed third ranker entering the room with a glass of water in her hand and I gulped, my throat feeling parched as Alfreed came and gave me the glass of water.

      I quietly took it and drank all of it's content to quench my thirst as Alfreed proceeded to lean against a cream colored wall, her arms crossed over her chest as she watched me. Meanwhile, Muriel was placing soft pillows behind my back to make me more comfortable and I gave her a weak smile as she took away the emptied glass and set it on a table behind her.

      I opened my mouth, about to speak and ask questions when Alfreed sharply cut me off before I had the chance to speak even a single word.

      "We'll only leave after an hour. Leirum's orders. Don't worry, he already went out to search with the others and they were picking up about something. He'll contact us later on if they finally reach it and we'll go by then. He's orders are absolute so I suggest you obey before I burn you if you try something like I was ordered to." She stated in an edged tone and I didn't need to be told more.

       However, I couldn't help but clench my teeth as I buried my face in my palms. I couldn't help it. What the hell was wrong with the world?! Why does life to be this unfair to me?

       All this time... All this time that I cried, with Rex witnessing my pain and consoling me as I cursed the one which was the reason of my downfall... He always cried with me and shared my pain and I always wondered why....

       And after all this time, the person I cried to was also the reason why I was crying and in pain? But it couldn't be possible... The reason for my downfall was a human from Earth... How can it be Rex when he's here in Azeroth?

      And if it was him... Those tears... were those because I had told him so many times and every single  time how much I regretted saving that life and how much I cursed it? But... I didn't know it was him... I inflicted unbearable pain to him without knowing it?!

      My whole body trembled as I clenched my jaw in anger, cursing myself silently with a whirlpool of unanswered questions in my mind as tears fell....

      "Tell us Cyan... What was the demon talking about----"

      My hoarse laugh cut off Muriel's question as I buried my head on my palms further and I stared emptily at the white sheet, my mind swirling with questions and unwanted memories that I have never dreamed to tell anybody else until now...

      I felt like bursting because of all the emotions trapped inside of me, wanting to be released once again. A pain I thought was gone, intensifying and I slowly started removing my shirt... It was time I explain I suppose.
