Sleepless [Part IV] - Final

After say.........more than a year, I'm finally getting back to this. The feeling in my gut says I shouldn't leave things hanging like that. So I say, heck, let's get this over with a bang. [I hope]

The previous ones are here:-


Part 1 and 2


Part 3


Without further ado, let's get it on. =)

------------------------------------

Razgrin stood in the ambience of the silver moonlight. He wasn't pretty, no. But he could feel blood on his hands. He could almost imagine the look on the faces of Tren and Marie when they die by his hands. He trembles with excitement.

Tren and Marie were unaware. They continued to plot against the government.

"I still can't believe my father is the leader of this rebellion. It's unbelievable, you know what I mean?"

"Yes, dear lady. My father did not reveal that until I was 15. It was still shocking then."

"[Smiles] Right...And so I was saying tha-"

"Shh."

"What? I was trying to tell you tha-"

"I said quiet."

"??"

"Who're you that invades my home?" Tren said, while looking at the dark corner of the reading room.

The curtains on the windows fluttered and shed enough light for Marie to see the shape of a man in the corner. Someone was there.

"What manner of man are you? How did you find your way in here?" asked Tren again.

"Answer me or I shal-"

"Kill me?" the man answered this time.

"Do as you can. Or will. Just make it worth my while. [grins]"

The man reveals his weapons. It was of claws. Those that resembled the ones of lions. Except that this was made of steel and it shone in presence of moonlight. Enter Razgrin.

"Come."

The man stepped off the ground with frightening speed and headed towards Tren. He took out his blade just in time to deflect the strike. The clash of their weapons produced a twang so loud that it resonated through the room.

"Marie, hide yourself. If I don't return by the strike of 12, take the plans and escape. I should be dead by that circumstance. [Smile]"

"No! You mus-"

"Go!"

Marie forced her legs to move away from the room. She broke into a run and the last thing she heard was another clash of metal from Tren's weapon.

"Now come, government dog."

Razgrin took another plunge towards Tren, roaring with the beastiality in him. Tren barely blocked the blow, and he realized that he might just be done for this time. His opponent was not a weak one.

Both of them fought with bestial vigour this night, exchanging slash by slash. The furniture was as if they were never there, every one was destroyed somewhere in the fight. It was fierce.

"Hah! Getting tired are we now? Almithy."

"I will not falter until I step over your dead body."

"So be it."

The sound of their weapons continued to sound into the night. The little reading room was soon too small for all the action. Tren had no where to run. He was getting worned out. Struggling to defend himself, he sought for a way to get away from the room. He needed bigger space.

Then he thought, the top of the mansion would be a good place. Yes, it was perfect.

Another swipe, it barely cut Tren in the head. He dodged just in time but suffered a cut to the cheek anyhow.

Razgrin was relentless, he continued to hack his way through Tren's defense. He knew he was going to fall Tren sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.

He charged up for a final blow. Tren is going down if this hits him. But Tren could see it. He knows this guy is too caught up in his act that he leaves room for mistakes. Tren sets his feet right, waiting for the blow.

Razgrin gave a certain stance, and Tren started counting....

One.

Two.

He didn't wait for three to jump away from the blow.

CRASH~! Razgrin blowed straight into the book rack. He was stuck! Thanks goodness for the dictionaries, Tren thought and he sprinted for the rooftop level.

When he reached up, he could see the glorious moon shining on him. What a perfect night to die.

Razgrin caught up not long after.

"You sneaky son of a street dog. My claws will have you!" roared Razgrin.

"Heh, then let them come."

Once again, Razgrin pounced towards Tren. With the look on his face that only says "die.". With every last ounce of his strength, Tren tries and deflect the attacks with his honed skills. As if dancing on the roof, they pranced their way under the moonlight.

Clash after clash, it was as if their weapons were tired too. It got softer and softer to a point where both of them stopped.

"You're not bad....Boy."

"I don't weild this sword for nothing."

"Hahahah, well said. Let's hope they keep you alive."

"Let's find out."

As if time slowed down, they started a run towards each other. Their eyes fixed on each other's heart.....They counted each step, each heartbeat, aiming. And then.....

"Heh. You fool." said Razgrin.

"Urgh. You won't have [coughs] me......so soon."

"What the?"

Tren shifted his body position just a slight bit so that Razgrin would hit him somewhere else but the heart while he got direct hit. Tren was impaled, Razgrin is heart struck. Both of them were standing, facing each other in the eye, yet they could barely open. They were bleeding so profuse they might as well die.

Tren gave another tug at his weapon and Razgrin gave an ugly moan and fell on the ground, never moving again. Razgrin's claws were still embedded in his body, poking through who knows what. He took two steps back and rested against the walls of the rooftop. Hands on the weapon, he did not want to pull it out, for if he did, gone he is. He had words for Marie before he went.

*****

Marie came up the stairs, with a knife in her clutches. Then she saw Tren.

"Oh my god, Tren!" she said while running towards him.

"Hey Marie."

"Tren, no...." Marie realized the claws on his body.

"[coughs] I'm alright. Don't worry."

Tren grew weak on Marie's touch. He finally fell on his knees. The pain was unbearable. His blue eyes looked at Marie. Marie was panic stricken, but she was helpless in Tren's part. She could do nothing but look on till his dying breath. Marie held Tren in her arms. Tren was at the brink of nothingness.....he lied on Marie's hands.

"Tren, you're not going to die.....please tell me so.."

"I cannot promise you immortality, Marie. But I can promise you that I will leave happy, being in your arms."

"Don't be stupid....[tearing] You're not going to leave me are you?"

"I will never leave you. My soul will always be here with you."

"You're talking thrash Tren."

"Look at the moon, Marie. Look."

"Wha-"

"Hush. Look......It's shining bright tonight. It's shining for you. For us."

"....."

"Though, the stars remind me of you. They're shining tonight too."

"Don't go astronomical on me now Tren. You are dying!"

"[Laughs then chokes] Ack....Can't stay long." then Tren touched Marie on the cheek.

"You don't know how beautiful you look tonight. I'd hate to go."

"...."

"No matter what, the rebellion must go on........we cannot fall, Marie........we cannot fall..."

"[starts to cry.]"

"Carry out what our fathers started, make the world a better place......a world without corruption, a world with peace, love and harmony......."

"Tren, no! You have to do it with me! I can't change the world alone!"

"No, you're wrong Marie, you are capable of many great things. You have to stop looking down on yourself. Chin up, lady. [smiles]"

"...."

"It was a joy knowing you, Marie. But I have to say goodbye now, my body's not letting me stay anymore. Urgh....[coughs and chokes].............Stay happy."

"TREN!! TREN!! NO!! NO!! No.......no..........[cries on Tren's body]"

********

Harsh reality met Marie and now she's alone, facing the troubles of the world. All she wished though, was to turn back time, and change all that have gone. Sorrow swept her way, but she did not falter.....she did go on with the rebellion, taking the name of leader. And so success was not guaranteed, but she always put one thing in her mind, 'Someone died for this, no one shall die anymore'. She decided to give it her all, for the greater good.

And there was a song...a song she wrote to remind her of the one she loved.

Wind swept, autumn leaves,
Swaying, floating on eternity.
What is it when you leave,
That makes me feel entirely empty.

Memories, drifting,
In my mind, flowing,
All of your loving,
In my mind, everlasting.

Would you come home,
Close to me.
Would you come home,
And hold me.

I need your touch,
Your arms around me,
Give me a feeling as such,
That will always make me happy.

Would you come home.

Another Day.

Like any other.

Har har.

Hmm, and so I've decided to just update for the heck of updating? Well, yeah, this is gonna be another one of those 'how did my day go' posts. Heck, let's get it on.

Ah, first day of school after holidays. It has that kind of feel that makes it all so surreal. Makes the holidays seem like a dream. Hell, two weeks flew by just like that. Where's my two weeks now? Gone.

Oh yea, interesting fact. Eventhough I was supposed to sleep early, I caught up with my homework till 12.30 a.m and then...........I watched "Just Follow Law" with my brother till 3. XD Yup, just the thing I need to go to school the next day- Erm, more like 3 hours and a half later. I wake up at 6.30 to go to school. Hooray for late night movies. Hahah. Was a good one though. Singaporean movies capture the essence of daily idiosyncrasies. Great stuff.

And so, school was as usual, routine, homework, monitor work, and the such. Monitor work is more like slave work, or charity work. Hmm, wonder why? Lol. I had to go buy NILAM books for the class dudes today.......because Pn.Chong asked me to. Meh. Aaaanyways, school was such that school will always be. You know how it is. =)

Came home, yay! But yet, dead. Slept till 5. Then proceeded to do some homework. Will they ever stop? God knows. Then there's emo stuff going on, someone's not picking up my phone calls, and stuff like that. Suckeh.

*Breaths in*

"Everything's gonna be better tomorrow." =)

-------------------------------------------------

Here comes the random stuff.

YUI!

Haha, strange I haven't written about her much here. Well, here's a pict to start things off.

[Credits to Yui-Lover Forums.]

That's my favourite CD cover of hers. Looks hawt. And the hair rocks like nobody's business. =) [Click for Larger View!]

Her music is what's keeping me going with homework and stuff. Very helpful. Heheh. <3

-------------------------------------------------

Oh yea. "Someone's" birthday is coming up. Wonder if anyone'll remember. Nah, it's not like anyone bothers anyways. However, thanks to those who actually do. You are very appreciated. Blessings to you and your thoughtfulness. =) Bleh, that's all for today. Want to get to bed as early as possible. It's calling me..........Lol. See ya next post dudes. Take care.

Joe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Woohoo.

Goodbye-Days

Alright, this post is dedicated to my favourite YUI song, and also a response to all the requests asking for English translation. Lol. I've already posted the romaji[romanized] lyrics in my previous post, so here's the English meaning of the song. Ta-da:-


------------

So right now I'm going to see you,
That's what I've decided.
I want you to hear this little song I've made.

I slowly turned up the volume,
Until I found just the right level.

Oh Good-bye Days!
I know things are gonna to change.
Yesterday's already far away.
But your honesty and kindness are still with me.
La la la la la I'm with you...

I take out my headphones,
And hand you one of the earpieces.
Then the music starts to play.

Can I really love you?
Sometimes I don't think I can...

Oh Good-bye Days!
Things have already started changing.
But in my heart it's all right.
Because I have your kindness in my heart.
La la la la la I'm with you...

I don't want to worry about the future,
But it keeps bothering me.
Even if I've got my friends around me,
That doubt is still there...

Whenever I hum that song,
I always wish you were here.
But I'm still glad that I met you
And found your kindness.
La la la la Good-bye days...

~Yui~Goodbye-Days~

Joe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Enjoy.
