GICCA'S POINT OF VIEW
"Run now! Take care of her, Mc!" an unknown woman yelled. I don't know her but my eyes are just on her.
"I will, aunt!" a young man responded.
Somebody pulled me as I am full of tears. He/She pulled me with force since I am unable to move. My joints tremble, I don't know why. I also don't know why there are tears on my eyes. I don't know who is pulling me, I couldn't turn my gaze to see him/her, my sight is just glued on the unfamiliar woman who yelled. I don't know that woman but sadness wraps me right now.
There is only one thing I am certain about, I know, I am hurt. My heart is aching.
Suddenly, a gunshot deafened us all.
I hardened my body causing the human who was pulling me to stop pulling me. I looked back to where that woman is. She is lifeless now. Lying on floor, full of bloods but eyes are not closing. She is lifelessly staring at me.
I, then, gently unleashed my tears. I feel so sad for the woman.
"Don't stop! We have to get out of here now!" the human who was pulling me said to me. I knitted my forehead when I hear its cute voice. I had the guts to turn to see who was it and was shocked to see that it was just a young man! The young man was the one who was pulling me.
And suddenly, another gunshot was made after that and it surprisingly hit me. I slowly lose my control. I fell down and the young man immediately wrapped me in his arms.
I was really in pain...
I couldn't walk...
My bloods are leaving me...
I'm running out of blood...
It felt like dying...

"She will be fine,"
"This is your fault, just stay away from her."
"I was trying to save her and you locked her up."
"Stop acting like you care for her."
"This is not for show."
"Just stay away from us and nothing bad will happen to her."
"I never been away from her ever since, and I won't leave her just because you say so."
"Who the heck are you?!"
"U-Urgh." I moaned softly because of the pain in my head. Their annoying voices woked me up. I slowly held my aching head and gently opened my eyes.
Where am I?
"Gicca," they both called my name when they heard me moaned.
"Do not move too much, it may add your headache." Lance said as he sat on the bed where I am lying on.
"What happened? W-Where are we?" I softly asked. "Where's Rique and A-Ali?" I added when I noticed that only the two of them are here... Lance and Eliote.
"We are here in your room. Rique and Ali went to buy medicines for you." Eliote replied.
Medicines? I kept quiet when I remembered what had happened. Someone attacked me and it hurt so much that I lost consciousness because of it. Who effin was it? Glad I'm still alive.
And all of a sudden, my dream also walked into my mind. That dream didn't haunt me that much although it was a little painful in my heart, but it didn't hurt that much like the previous nightmares.
It was really painful in my heart. Seeing that lifeless woman staring blankly at me with no pulsation squeezes my heart, like, I've lost an important soul in my life... Ugh. Here I am again with this turmoil thinking. I don't even know that woman, it was just in my dream.
Then, I came to remember a name. A name that was revealed in my dream.
The woman who died in my dream mentioned Mc, and I believe it was young Mc who was pulling me in my dream. Who is this Mc? Why is he in my dream? How did his name got into my dreame?
"Do you remember that bloody woman? She is not yet dead, she was drugged by someone. That drug has an ability to control her body for a short period of time. Her body attacked you but it was not her. It was under someone's control." Lance informed me.
I knitted my forehead and threw him my confused look. A drug that can control someone's body? Wow. Who created that drug? How genius, yet evil!
"W-Where is she now?" I asked weakly.
"In the hospital, she is in a very bad condition. I think she's not gonna make it." Lanced answered.
I immediately felt sad, "Who put the drug on her body?" I asked again.
"Still under investigation. The first thing they found out was that the victim stabbed herself but her body was already under someone's control when she did that. They are looking for something called red key." Eliote answered.
That is so horrible, why would they do that? Why would they harm? Why would they use someone just for a stupid red key. What is that red key anyway?
I cannot imagine that a crime like this would exist. They are so evil. Just like in my dream when someone shot the woman and mercilessly killed her. It almost killed me too, glad I woke up.
"What is the fvcking red key they are looking for?" Irritated I asked.
They both shrugged as an answer.
I took a deep breath, "Ah, anyway, Lance, I'll be honest with you. This past few days I am not well. I hallucinate things, nightmares visited me thrice and I am afraid that my brain will be permanently damaged. I need a cure for this unknown disorder of mine and I think, Eliote can help me." I said. I don't know what got into my mind that I spoke of this thing. Maybe because I don't want things to be messy again? Maybe. If I had just told them in advance maybe they would not have been like this.
He frowned, "You hallucinate?" he asked for a clarification.
I nodded, "Yes, and I am sorry if I didn't tell you this earlier. I hope you and Ali would understand me." I said without including Rique I know Rique would understand me for sure, he is friend with Eliote.
Lance placed his hand on his chin and nodded, "What about the holding hands thing?" He asked.
"It was me, I pulled her so we can occupy that table right away. It was crowded that time." Eliote answered.
"Why were you eating together?" Lance once again asked while raising a brow.
"Because I was starving, I guess? And my plan was to really join with you guys but I couldn't find you in the cafeteria." I answered.
Lance nodded, "Are you sure?" He asked again as if he is not satisfied.
Eliote cleared his throat, "Why do you ask so many questions, Lance? Do you like Gicca?" he asked Lance.
My eyes widened at Eliote's question. I also felt the warmth of my cheeks. D*mn you Eliote. Why would he ask something like that in front of me?
Lance averted his eyes on us, "We have been friends for a long time. Gicca is like my younger sister." he coldy answered without giving us an emotion.
Ouch.
Eliote just shrugged and spoke, "That's good. Anyway," he looked at me, "What hallucination did you experience, Gicca? and what are your nightmares?" he interviewed me.
"Hey wait," Lance intervened when I took a deep breath to answer, "Do you know this guy, Gicca?" he asked me as he pointed Eliote.
I raised an eyebrow, "Uhm, he is Eliote." I answered to his weird question. Is he testing me if my memory still works after being attacked?
He rolled his eyes, d*mn he is so cute whenever he does that thing. "I mean, have you known him ever since?" he clarified his question.
Eliote frowned while I shrugged, "Well, we just met him the other day. Right? That was our first meeting." I answered.
Lance gritted his teeth and faced Eliote, "Who are you?" he asked Eliote in a scary tone as grabbed Eliote's collar and pulled it upward.
"What are you doing, Lance?" Confused I asked. He is bursting out! I want to get up to stop him, I mean I tried, but my headache attacks me.
"He told me earlier that he never been away from you ever since. Can you believe that? I think this man is a stalker. Will you just let this kind of person enter your life?" He shuddered with anger as he asked.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down man." Eliote said and then he pushed Lance, causing Lance to let go of his collar.
The two of them are now facing each other with their sharp eyes and teeth are gritting. Looks like the space between them is firing that much. Ugh. They are still not quiting their nonsensical.
"Get out of our lives." Lance said as he slightly pushed Eliote.
Eliote pushed him back, "Do not dictate me. I am here to protect Gicca." he said.
It looks like it will lead to a melee. Why are they like that? Why can't they calm themselves? Urgh. Both of them are immature. They are just causing headache to me.
I stood up and placed myself between the two of them but I just fell down immediately due to dizziness and my body is still weak. I know I couldn't get up but I tried my very best just to make them stop!
"Gicca!" They both shouted my name and helped me stand up.
"If the two of you won't stop, I'll surely die." I threatened them with sharp voice.
