Zero's Death
Rain POV
Last Game of MLA, 2 years Ago.
"Are you still dreaming of her?" I heard Hydro ask Zero.
"Yes." Zero said with a smile. 'I feel like all my dreams come true, not a night goes by that I don't dream of her." Zero said.
"Hmm, weird, you said you haven't seen that woman in person but in your dream." Hydro said. I took my bow and adjusted myself.
"I think someone wants to express my dream." Zero said, I turned to Zero's direction and looked at him.
How can I kill Zero? I lowered my hand when I remembered again what he was did to me.
This game won't end without killing you.
"There are opponents!" Dark shouted approaching us.
"Some members of Velandra are coming here." He said so Zero immediately stood up and looked at us.
"We have to act." Said Zero.
"There aren't enough of us." I groaned so they looked at me.
"There are eight of us, there are only four of us." I added then looked at Zero worriedly.
"We have to run away." I said so Hydro looked at Zero.
"Rain is right, you guys need to leave." We looked at Hydro.
"What are you saying? Let's go." Dark said and took his things.
"The opponents will only follow us when I join you, one of us must be left behind to deceive the opponent and I will do the that." He said so Zero's forehead wrinkled.
"But Hydro--"
"You want to see the woman in your dream don't you?" Hydro asked Zero who didn't answer.
"You have to live to see her Zero, so go ahead, go away. I'll take care of them." Said Hydro.
"Hydro ..."
"Come on, they're close." I said so they looked at me then turned their eyes back to Hydro, Hydro smiled at Zero then hugged him.
"Until again friend." Hydro said, I took my gear then looked at Dark and Zero.
"We need to separate." Said Dark.
"I'll go with Zero, Rain on the right you pass." He said so I nodded and immediately walked in the direction Dark said, but I also immediately stopped to hide in the big tree, I even saw how Dark and Zero ran away from Hydro. I lowered my palm when I saw Hydro smiling at Zero walking away.
Why is it important for Hydro to rescue Zero? Zero is an evil creature, he drives me away, he raped me.
I narrowed my eyes and hid behind a tree as I heard Hydro complain of the pain our opponents were inflicting. I covered my lips to prevent making a noise, my tears kept dripping.
I'm sorry Hydro.
I slowly glanced in Hydro's direction and my heart tightened even more when I saw his body stretched out on the floor while his eyes were open and he seemed to be looking at me.
"Sorry ..." I whispered in the air while looking at Hydro. When our opponent was able to leave the place where Hydro's body was, I immediately approached and cried with Hydro's eyes closed.
"I'm Sorry." I said while holding Hydro's hand. I took a deep breath and looked in the direction where Zero and Dark had passed.
'It's Zero's fault why you died." I said and looked at Hydro's body.
I took a deep breath then stood up and immediately ran in the direction where they were going to Zero, a few minutes later I also stopped running when I saw Zero and Dark with an opposing opponent.
I immediately climbed the tree and aimed my bow.
I first looked at Zero who was busy fighting with Dark.
"You're driving me away." I said to myself and stretched the bow string of my bow then pointed the arrow in Zero's direction.
"Kill Zero in case he has any plans to defeat Moonlight."
The anger I felt for Zero intensified as I remembered what Mr Steler had said.
"I'm sorry, but you need to get lost." When I said that, I let go of the bow string and released the arrow in Zero's direction. I saw how it sank into Zero's back through his chest. I immediately lowered my palm when I felt pity and remorse.
"Zero!" I heard Dark shout and caught Zero's body, for some unknown reason my tears suddenly dripped while looking at Zero.
Why am I not happy that I killed Zero? I was able to avenge Hydro and I was able to avenge myself for what he did to me. But why do I feel this way? Instead of being happy I was sad.
"You preceded us." I turned to the speaker, behind the tree where I was standing we were Shadow and Red.
"Why are you crying?" Red asked, I immediately wiped away my tears and looked again at Zero who was dying.
"I do not know. 'I said while looking at Zero, I turned my gaze back to the two.
"You just did the right thing." Red said coldly. "He can only interfere with Moonlight's victory." she said then smiled at me.
"Do you have a guilty conscience?" Shadow asked me, I didn't answer.
"What if they find out Admiral, Admin and Mrs Steler that I killed Zero?" I ask. Shadow looked behind me.
"They didn't know that Mr. Steler ordered us to kill Zero." I added. Shadow looked at me.
"It's not your fault." Said Shadow.
"But I killed--"
"You didn't kill Zero." Shadow cuts to what I have to say.
I was stunned as I looked at him.
"Dark killed Zero." I lowered my palm to what he said.
"Your brother is Dark, why is he--"
"He killed our parent, Rain" He said and looked at me.
"So he's the one we blame for Zero's death." Shadow said so I looked again at Dark and Zero's direction, I saw how Dark cried Zero. My conscience swallowed me up again as I looked at him.
I'm Sorry.
