The Magic Circle

[Garcia- P.O.V]

My name is Garcia, I have no surname, just like every other orphan, I believed that orphans should not live a childhood full of hunger and roofless sleep. I started working at an orphanage set up by some anonymous person. I loved being with kids, they were naïve and helped others, but as children grow, they mature they understand that the world is never kind. They burry the kindness deep in their heart, so that no one sees their weakness.

I understood that being kind may lead to many troubles for me, but I wanted to die now, even when I tried to be kind to everyone, misfortune still falls on me. I knew that Quill loved me, and I did love him back. I fantasized about one day he would propose me, and I would accept him, and we would live happily ever. But I didn't have the hope now, who would want to be with an impure and dirty girl like me.

Even if he accepted me, I know it would be half-hearted.

"You are overthinking too much I- we love you because of your kind-hearted nature what makes you who you are shouldn't what had happened to you, but what you think about yourself," Quill said.

When I looked at him what I could see was only concern and care for me, I knew that he had killed the prince as revenge and all of this he had done for me. I felt a heavy burden lift off my shoulders, yes what decides who I am isn't what happened to me, but how I bounced back from the misfortune. Tears fell from my eyes, I wanted to say I loved him, but I still couldn't muster up the courage to ask him.

What if he rejected me, will I have any other reason to live, can I ever come to love another than him….

My train of thoughts were broken when I felt Quill suddenly pull me into embrace and pushed me to the ground. My heart was beating quickly, my face was flushed red, I thought that he was proposing me, but this moment was short-lived when people behind us came running us.

Vent, the third brother shot two arrows piercing the one who was about to strike Quill.

We kept running in the dark cave, the cave kept going and going.

[Quill- P.O.V]

We kept running and running, we had once tried to reach the end of the cave, but we had never reached the end when we first entered it to explore, I could see w torchlight lit behind us as they were following us.

Soon we reached the end of the cave.

We were currently in a large hall like room, which was fully lit, what was weird that we couldn't see the source of light. It was as if the light just existed here, as if it was natural. What was even weird that we couldn't see the light from far away.

"Hahaha, The Sinners the assassins that punish those who sin. Finally, I caught you, you killed my niece. I always wanted to kill you, but I couldn't get the opportunity. Finally, I got a chance to kill and even earn money by doing this, do you regret killing my brother."

"Oh, gladiator hall master sh*t are you perhaps talking about Red who died a dog's death." Fourth asked.

"You, how do you know I am a gladiator hall master?" the man asked.

"HaHaHaHa, guess that in your after life," saying this fourth brother attacked with the trident.

The man quickly parried the attack, we didn't delay any longer too and attacked the bounty hunters, the terrain was advantageous to assassins as it was dark, we quickly killed half of them, but there were still 50 people left and we were also quiet worn down. Third was out of arrows and Fifth's spear had broken into two with each piece in either of his hands. We couldn't go on any longer. Everybody was sure that we would die here. But no one spoke of it.

The fight continued, soon all my brothers died one by one, only I and Garcia were left. I couldn't help but cry, not because of the pain I was feeling due to the sword that had impaled my heart and not because I was going to die either, it was the self-loath I was feeling for not even being able to protect my brothers being the Eldest.

Garcia was also injured, but not close to dying.

[Garcia P.O.V]

My heart was in turmoil.

Why? Why was everyone going so far for me, after all it was neither their fault nor their responsibility to protect me and take revenge for me.

"Why?" I sobbed.

"I couldn't say it before, but at the end of my life if I couldn't say it I would regret it in the underworld, I love you. You don't have to reply, as I am soon going to die."

I was happy and sad at the same time, I was happy that he still loved me, and was sad that this love has caused the downfall of him and all of his brothers.

If he died, I didn't know what I would do by living, I couldn't even imagine a world where he wasn't there.

I made my decision. I ran and hugged him, the sword that has pierced his back and had come out of his chest, pierced my heart, I didn't regret what I did.

I wanted to be with him at the end of my life, if I couldn't live with him, I would rather die with him.

"Why?" he sighed.

"You don't think I will let you leave alone, do you, my dear husband?"

He didn't say anything and just tightened his hands pulling me even closer to himself, it was as if the sword wasn't there to kill us, but rather join us.

And thus, ended the incident known to the world as the 'bounty hunters hunted massacre'

After the died suddenly the land below them started to glow and all the six corpse of The sinners and Garcia disappeared after a bright flash, but sadly no one noticed the event.
