Tragic Dreams

Three months later...

Araza now in training to be observed by the commanders, he was fighting another rookie like he is for now at least.

"Hey Araza, don't make it easier for me to attack you okay? Give it all you've got." the captain said to him and Araza just nods at him and smirked. There he looked at him with his lifeless eyes.

As they prepared their fighting stance, Araza then decided to attack first without hesitation. As he rushed to the man, they both fought it out using their fist dodging and attacking at the same time with such inhuman speed. Everyone suddenly stopped their fighting and then looked at them staring in awe. Both fighters finally stopped their attacking and walked away without removing their eyes at each other.

"You're pretty good, kid but I'll have to finish it right here, right now." as he finished speaking, he rushed at Araza with high speed but Araza just held out his hand and caught the captain's fist without any effort. The captain was surprised that he caught the punch and there he was kicked on the gut making him fall to the floor holding his stomach.

" Well that went well. " Vaduu said jokingly as Araza just looked at him and offered his hand to help him up.

The captain looked at Araza and held his hands as he helped him stood up from the ground. Araza then left the training room and made his way to the locker room and took a shower.

*********

After taking a cold shower, he made his way to his locker until he saw Lilian talking to V the Reaper. He smiled as he walked to where they were and finally made it there. Lilian was suddenly surprised to see Araza as she looked down on Araza's body, her face suddenly was red due to his ripped body being shown.

"Araza, your upper body... is showing." she said shyly to him and Araza laughed at her statement while V was just smiling. V then looked at Lilian like he was surprised at the reaction.

"I never knew you were this shy, Lilian." he teased her as she just blushes more and Araza just smiles and left them both to talk while he wears his new pair of clothes which was a blue T-shirt and jeans.

"So I heard you defeated the captain? Impressive Araza." V acknowledged him while Araza just bows in respect and said "Thank you" to his compliment. Lilian then signaled Araza to follow him since they're finally going home after the long ass training. They exited the building and saying their goodbyes to people that they know. It was Catherine Harrietta's name...

"Oh... Cat's team huh?" she sighs and gave the paper back to him.

*********

"Araza dinner is ready!" Lillian shouted.

She heard footsteps from the staircase, it was fast. Before she could set up the table, Araza was already on the dining table. She smiled as she sets the food and plates. She finally sat beside him and there she witnessed a murder... of steaks and corns that is.

She remembers the day when he was but an orphan living in the streets...

It was a long time ago when she was traveling around the world as a VSA agent, she saw a little boy stranded in the woods freezing and was in need of help. She walked towards a boy and there she saw he was unconcious and something feels weird about him. How can anyone survive the cold without any kind of winter clothes.

She brought the little boy home and treated his wounded legs and feet, he was crying in his sleep maybe it was a nightmare as it is but how did he get outside without getting killed? She asked herself and then left the room for him to rest better.

Later that night, she heard a boy scream in agony. She stood up fast and rushed to where the scream sounded and to see something horrifying... She saw blood everywhere wrapped around the boy's body and was trying to consume itself by disintegration but of course Lillian saved the little boy before it was too late.

And you all know what happened next. They both survived...

********

Araza was now finish eating and he smiles to Lilian. She stood up the table and washed the dishes. She remembered everything that happened in the past and she doesn't want to see or know what will happen after everything that has happened. Maybe one day he'll know who she really am... Maybe on that day she can tell him everything that he does not know about her.

"You know I feel that you're suddenly sad." he said to her with a frown.

She smiled at him and asked "What are you talking about, I'm happy." she insisted.

Araza just sighs and walks up to the stairs and then to entered his room. Before he locks the door, he finally said 'Good night' to his bestfriend. He saw through her lies but then again he does have those unique senses when he fused with that one creature. She sat down again onto the chair and looked outside the window to see the moon shining beautifully until an unknown voice was heard beside her.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" she looked at the voice and her eyes widened from shock.

[Music starts here]

The man looked at her and smiled as if he was so happy to see her...

She held out her hand to touch the man but then he disappeared like a wind, she was imagining things and then a tear fell down her cheeks. Sadness overtook her mood and cried to her heart's content for she cannot stop the sadness that overcame her as if something so powerful made her cry... Remembering him of all things. Why now?

"Richard, why did you leave so soon? I needed you and yet you left without saying goodbye." she whispered and cried until her cheeks was stained by her own tears. She was then thinking about the moments where he and her was enjoying their dates, VSA trainings and of course when they're alone in their own home, which is here.

She looked at where the stairs and there she sees Araza standing still and looking at her with tears almost flooding his cheek as if he felt her emotions and thoughts flooding through his mind. He then walked towards her and gave a hug for he has now known why she was always forcing happiness and always getting sad whenever he was not around.

"Who was he, Lily?" asked Araza. She just continued to cry, she tried to stop it but nothing can stop the flooding of tears...

Why does everything in my life have to be so tragic???
