We’re like dolls in which he can pick up and play with anytime.
If we can’t escape this world, he will always be our master.


TANZIE’S POV

I went out of the little house for the purpose of finding Kiyo, but I couldn’t find him anywhere. How could he just disappear like that? How could he leave me without any information about this place.?

I continued walking, trying to find someone to talk to. I wanted so bad to know what this place is, yet, no one’s here to tell me.

“AAAHHHHHH!” I heard someone shout. I searched for the source of that voice and, finally, I was successful.

The voice came from a girl with disheveled hair. Her clothes were torn and she was running barefoot. She was running away from something and I couldn’t quite see what. I ran so I could follow her.

“Why are you running?” I shouted so she could hear me. The moment she heard my voice, she stopped.

“He’s gonna get me. He—he—“ She collapsed right in front of me. I kneeled down to help her but suddenly..


















She grabbed my shoulders-----hard.









“What are you doing?!” I yelled. I was still shaking from what had happened. I was in pain again. Not the kind of pain that came from the inside, it was pain from her hold upon my shoulders. She was squeezing it like a bottle of toothpaste that was about to run out.

“Let go of me!” I continued shouting but it wasn’t doing any good.

“You’re one of them! You want to hurt me.” She whispered, but enough for me to hear.

“I don’t want to hurt you!” Once I said that, she let go. I thought it was over but I was wrong. Very, very wrong.

She was crawling away from me. Her face depicts fear and ----- respect.

“I was---she—NO!!” She shouted. I reached out to her but she ran away and disappeared. I looked around but she was gone..

I turned around in the hopes of finding my way back to that house but instead, I bumped against a man’s chest.

“HEY!” The man shouted annoyingly.

“S-so-sorry.” It was all I could say. I was frightened by the way the girl looked at me. It was like I was supposed to be feared.

“Hey, why are you stuttering?” The man asked. I looked up and I saw his face. Even at a place like this, he looked like an angel.

“There--girl---and—uh—ran away—scared of me.” I couldn’t speak in straight sentences. All I could say were phrases that when put together in a sentence, doesn’t make sense.

“Okay, I’ll pretend I understood that.” He smirked at me and helped me calm down.

“Just forget about what happened. Strange things always happens here.” I looked at his face once again and somehow, I forgot about the incident. His eyes were simply hypnotizing --- in a good way.

“Thanks, --- uh” I cut myself off since I didn’t know his name.

“Yuan.”

KIYO’S POV

What the fcuk was I thinking? That girl.. whatever her name was, I shouldn’t have helped her. I broke the rules of this place. And I’m damn sure he won’t let me get away with it.

“Kiyo.” I heard Ysxa’s voice.

“What do you want?” I asked.

“I saw what you did.” She stated.

I knew it. Once she knows, he knows. Damn it.

“I didn’t mean it okay?!” I shouted.

“But you know the rules Kiyo!”

“Yeah, but---“ She cut me off.

“You also know the consequences of your actions!”

“Yeah, and---“

“Damn it Kiyo! When are you going to listen?!”

“I KNOW THAT, ALL RIGHT?!” I raised my voice, enough to stop her from scolding me.

“It’s not like I’m ignorant, Ysxa. It’s just.. You know how hard it was for me to wake up at a place like this---“

“And that’s how it’s supposed to be, Kiyo. That’s why you should have left her there in pain!” She looked away. Deep inside, I knew why she was acting this way.. Sooner or later, he’ll call upon me and punish me for what I did. And Ysxa, already experienced that kind of punishment---she helped---.

“I just couldn’t leave her there. Grayer’s men were walking around and if they saw her there, you know what they’d do! They’d keep make her a slave and keep her in the dungeons! With the looks of her, I think Grayer would like her to be his personal slave.” I just knew it. I only saved her because of that. Grayer is fond of women who are beautiful and simply precious. And that girl, the one I helped, was even more than that. He’d want her but he can never take her forcefully. Because, I was the one who found her. And in this place, the founder is also the keeper. They can’t have her unless I give her to them, willingly.

“You do know what will happen now, right?” She asked, with concern in her voice.

“Yea. He’d summon me to his chambers.” She nodded and sighed. She gave up on scolding me coz’ that wouldn’t do anything. He’d call upon me either way.

I sat down on the wooden chair and waited. Waited for his words. Waited for the voice that’ll echo upon this place.

“SHOW ME KIYO MATSUMOTO!” There it was. His voice was rough, mad and threatening. Dang, I’m doomed.

“Come back. Promise?” I nodded but I didn’t really mean it. I didn’t know if I was really coming back. I walked out of Ysxa’s house and went to the nearest portal.

“GRAYER’S CHAMBERS.” I stated clearly. The portal turned black and I stepped into the darkness. Once again, I felt the swirling and the turning inside that portal. The portal dropped me flat on the floor on the entrance of his chambers. I stood up and walked down the dark corridor. It wasn’t a long walk coz’ I saw him immediately. Well, I didn’t really see him. No one does. He’s kind of a silhouette. A simple shadow. He doesn’t want anyone to see him as he really is.

I stopped walking 5 steps before his throne.

“Kiyo Matsumoto.. YOU HAVE DISOBEYED ME!”
