Mother's love
Rain POV
*After MLA GAME. Moonlight headquarter in Arena.
We were all silent as we bowed, only Fly and Dark's cries could be heard while the corpses of Hydro and Zero were placed in front of us. I lowered my palm as I looked at Zero's corpse.
For the first time, Moonlight lost to the MLA. Castro won. I lowered my palm, I just didn't care if I killed Zero if in the end we also lost.
"W-where's my son ..." We all at the same time turned to the speaker and just entered the door, I was suddenly nervous when I saw Mrs. Steler and behind her was Mr. Steler looking at the three of us, they are Admin and Admiral who can easily go next to Zero's body.
"Zero, my son!" I close my eyes when I hear Mrs. Steler moan as she hugs Zero's body. Mrs. Steler's sobbing was accompanied by the crying of Admin and Admiral. Suddenly my tears flowed because of what I am witnessing now.
"I'm sorry." I whispered, I was surprised when Shadow held my hand, I looked at him. He looked at me and shook his head, as if he was saying it was not my fault and Dark was to blame, I suddenly felt heavy. I watched Mrs. Steler cry again as she hugged Zero's body.
Why didn't I think that a mother was waiting for her child to return? Why didn't I think that Mrs. Steler was waiting for Zero to come out.
I clenched my fist and sat down and cried.
"Zero, son." I watched as Mrs. Steler called Zero and hugged his son. "I'll wait for you to come out." Mrs. Steler said as she hugged Zero. I saw Zero's smile on his lips as he hugged his mother.
"I promise, we'll come out of the game fully." Zero said and looked the mother in the eye. "When the game is over, promise me that Dark and Hydro will make us Apple pie." Zero said while smiling, laughing Mrs Steler nodded and ruffled Zero's hair.
"As long as you're good." Mrs. Steler said, Zero nodded and looked at Dark as Dark called it.
I looked away and saw Shadow and Red staring at me.
"I'm sorry ..." I said while crying and looking in the direction of Mrs Steler and Zero. It was as if my conscience was killing me as I watched Zero and Mrs. Steler's behavior.
They say that one of the most painful things for a mother is to see her child dead. I feel the pain that Mrs. Steler is feeling now, I am afraid that if she finds out that I killed her son she will kill me.
"W-who did this to ... my s-son?" Weakly but full of anger Mrs. Steler asked.
Me, I want to say that but I know Red and Shadow won't let me do that. Mrs. Steler looked at us, her eyes swollen as she turned to look at us. I could see the pain and resentment in her eyes.
"WHO ?!" Cried Mrs. Steler.
"I do not know."
"It's Dark."
We looked at Shadow at the same time as they spoke to Dark, I looked at Dark who was surprised by what Shadow said.
"W-what?" Dark asked in shock while looking at Shadow's direction, I was just silent while bowing.
"You're with him aren't you?" I heard Shadow ask Dark.
"I-I was with him but I didn't kill him." Confused and solderingly said Dark.
"Liar!" Shadow shouted so I looked at him.
"Red and I can see how you stab Zero with the arrow you're holding." Shadow said so I looked at Dark with wide eyes and obviously no one knew what was going on.
"It's impossible what you're saying." Said Fly.
"It's true what I'm saying." Shadow said and looked at Mrs. Steler who was staring at Dark.
"That's not true Mrs. Steler, I can't kill my friend." Crying Dark said as he turned to look at Mrs. Steler.
"We see you Dark, will you still cherish it?" Shadow asked.
"Why are you blaming me? You don't have enough evidence to blame me Shadow especially since you don't have solid evidence to say that I killed him. If you're going to the place where Zero and I are going, why not did you help us kill the enemy? " Dark asked while crying.
I looked at Shadow.
"You have no opponent, Dark." Red said softly so I looked at her, I lowered my palm and looked again at Dark who was weakening because of what was happening.
"Only you and Zero are there." Red added.
"How would we approach you if we saw how you killed Zero?" Shadow said and looked at his brother.
"Isn't your arrow aimed behind Zero?" Shadow added so I looked at the arrow placed on the table, from where I was sitting I saw the design of the arrow, I was swallowed.
I remember taking Dark's arrow to hopefully use in Castro cases that didn't go ahead due to the sudden arrival of the Velandra.
Dark was silent as he looked at his brother.
"I can prove I did nothing to Zero." welding Dark said and looked at Mrs. Steler.
"Get out." Mr Steler said softly to Dark. Dark looked at Mrs. Steler.
"Mrs. Steler--"
"Get your things." Mrs. Steler said coldly and looked at Dark.
"From now on you can no longer Moonlight Student." She added and kissed her son's forehead.
I 'm sorry.
