That day I didn't know which day it was in Anastasia, I only knew it was the day after the first snow on earth, the world of my illusion.
The snow is beautiful, and I'm all alone.
"Tristan!!!!! No!!!!!!!"
Bam!!!!!!!
It was because of my foolishness, the cold body I hugged while running was bleeding dripping blood across the floor.
"Eun-Kyung, my best friend!!! Where are you~" among all those people, Sun-hee was the only one different, she could speak other than the word eliminate.
...ow...
"I'm sorry...cat..." except crying, what could I do??? I could do nothing. I couldn't even compare to this brave bloody cat who jumped in to protect Tristan from the bullet.
"Eun-Kyung, co out now!!!! We're best friends, right??? We'll be best friends forever and ever in this world...I want to hear it from you." I glanced from the corner I was hiding at Sun-hee who was holding Tristan with the gun at his head.
"Eun-Kyung, don't..."
Bam!!!!!
I flinched in fear when hearing the second firing sound, but luckily it wasn't the head of Tristan Sun-hee was pointing, it was the sky.
"Co out!!!"
Bamm!!!!
Bammmmmmm!!!!
I'm scared...
I'm scared...make it all stop...
Make it all stop...
...
I'm all alone again in the dark void, neither Tristan nor Sun-hee was there. It was cold in there. My sobbing sound echoed in that void.
Aurora had her amazing strength, she would use it to help Tristan and not be useless like .
What could I even do??
Just what will I do from now on???
ow
ow ow
ow ow ow
"I'm sorry, cat...if it wasn't , you wouldn't be hurt."
It's all my fault.
I turned my head to the sound of the cat, how could it still...
"Eun-Kyung...it's not your fault." there was glowing shiny light swirling around the cat and it turned to ...
"You're hurt because of ..."
That woman who used to be a cat giggled and walked around who was sitting on the water.
"You do know we're in the illusion right, this void is also created by you...Eun-Kyung."
My eyes widen hearing that, I finally stood up and faced her.
She held my hands and smiled at , it was so warm.
"Eun-Kyung, you've co so far. You're so precious to many people around you."
"Who are you really??" I asked even though I saw her face.
With the sharp nose, and the small lip, I always compared my face to Aurora, but when I saw myself like this again, I'm not really that ugly.
Even the black hair of mind stood out in this black void.
"I'm also Eun-Kyung." I wasn't surprised when she said that, but sothing was off about that Eun-Kyung, she had her hair braid and wore the dress of Anastasia.
"Are you Eun-Kyung from Anastasia??" it was a long silence before she smiled at and nodded.
I took many steps back trying to process what was going on between the two worlds.
"Don't overthink it, Eun-Kyung...this void created by you won't last for long...and my body in the illusion will soon turn dead too. So there's sothing I needed to tell you...the truth about us."
"The truth?"
"I will summarize it. You read the novel, right? So it will be easy to understand. Let's say the first season is the first tiline, and the second season is the tiline you reincarnated as Aurora."
"You said you're ...then what tiline are you--"
"I'll explain! I was the cat of Aurora in the first tiline and the second tiline too but I died. The difference between these two lives was the first tiline, I died and my soul still attached to the world, so I couldn't move on..."
"What about the second tiline??"
"The second tiline, I died again...it was heartbroken to leave Aurora...but I decided I have to move on...that was when you ca into the picture."
"??"
She nodded, "I'm just a part of the soul of Eun-Kyung, you're the real Eun-Kyung. We move on and live in Seoul. And that is the third tiline."
I couldn't keep up what she was saying, the first, the second, and now the third??
She noticed my confused face and told , "Soone ssed with ti at the first tiline resulting in the first tiline being deleted. You're probably wondering what's the third tiline..."
I nodded.
"The third tiline, it was the earth but twenty years ahead."
My eyes widen and my lip was shaking.
I gathered my courage to ask the question to confirm the ssy thought in my mind.
"So the third tiline in the future, the tiline I was a high school student??"
"You're quick wit, as usual, ."
"You an I who used to be the cat moved on and lived on earth for probably twenty years and was taken back to Anastasia??"
"Yeah...and my theory is that the author is one of the people who died in Anastasia who reincarnated on earth with the mory of their past life."
But the author was Ye-Joon...does that an...he used to be living on Anastasia too??
I couldn't understand why he decided to write the novel like that, and why did he make Diana the female lead.
I tried processing all the information. When I died on earth, I was twenty years old. But Ye-Joon was probably eighteen years old.
So that ant I died as a cat earlier than Ye-Joon's past life for two years.
!!!!!
If Ye-Joon could write the novel from both tilines and he knew all the events.
That ant he was one of the ti travelers too...and all the events that led to the ending must be happening around those two years.
I knew all about the truth...but...
"Eun-Kyung...we--no, I an you...you're strong. You've co so far, do you even need soone to remind you how special you are? You're a decisive person, you always think of the rational choice, you always kept your promise with your close person."
"..."
"Deep down, you also wanted to go back to Anastasia. You can't fool ...the reason why you still haven't returned yet...was it because you wanted to enjoy the happiness here a little bit longer?? Since the ti flows differently from Anastasia."
"I want to go, really. I miss Irene, I miss everyone especially Marinette. I want to take revenge on those people who hurt Aurora. I want to deal with all of those scumbags who hurt the innocent people...and mostly, I want the story in Anastasia ends with the happy ending..."
"Then what's in your way?? Just snap out of this and go already, stupid !!"
She kept pushing to get out of that void even I, myself was hesitant. Going back ant I have to be in Aurora's body...
Wait...Aurora's body??
My other said the cat we used to have died, then who is that cat I saw back then? And what happened to Aurora??
No, don't push !! I still have many questions.
"Wait!!! Where's our owner, Aurora???"
"...don't ask the question you already knew the answer...just go..."
I was brought back to the illusion out of the black void, the cat inside my arms also faded away.
Bammm!!!
I wiped my tear and finally showed myself to Sun-hee.
I'm sorry, fake Sun-hee but now that soone reminded about my true goal, I won't let you keep back here any longer.
I also have a life there even though I had to deal with the demon or monster. I wouldn't say the power of comradeship will win against the demon but...
Rember, this is my illusion. This is my world, this is the world reflecting what I wanted the opposite of the reality.
Think, think, think. Think of reality.
The building beca distorted, Tristan was released and ran to in confusion, Sun-hee pointed the gun at Tristan about to shoot, that gun disappeared from her hand and ended up in my hand.
The reality...if I wanted to escape from the world, I had to face the reality, the one thing I really hated.
And mostly, I really didn't want to do it again.
"Eun-Kyung, how did you do that??"
"This is my world, rember??"
We were transported inside the car, even though I didn't see Sun-hee anywhere. But when I looked at the sign on the road, I knew imdiately where she was at that ti.
The tear on my face dried up as I stepped on the gas pedal, Tristan was taken aback by the speed, the car's window wasn't closed properly just like the night I died on my birthday.
There was alcohol at the seat near the driver's seat, and I never thought I would be wearing the luxurious dress like that again.
I drove to the convenience store, the person in the middle of the road in front of the convenience store was none other than Sun-hee.
You're not my real best friend, my real best friend is in Anastasia.
Instead of running to the side of the road, her eyes looking at the car that drove to hit her was smiling, she stood with her open arms and smiled at .
"I wish you luck, Eun-Kyung." she shouted before...
"Eun-Kyung, what're you..."
Bang!!!
The glass of the car shattered, the car hit the light pole and blood was all over the road just like the night of the beginning.
I saw Sun-hee sleeping on the road from my mirror...blood was all over my eyes as I lost consciousness slowly.
"Eun-Kyung!!!!" I already used sothing to protect Tristan in the back seat. He sounded like I was really dying.
Ack...
But really, I didn't want to die again. It was so freaking agonizing.
And when I opened my eyes again, Tristan was smiling beamy at shining his aura hugging when we were back to reality.
There were many screens across the hall. I patted Tristan's back smiling at him.
My pink hair ca back.
"Thank you!! Thank you for coming with ."
"Now, let's save everyone..mander Tristan."
To be continued....!
