“There’s no heartbeat!” One of the men shouted.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRGEw80mEO
“She can’t die! Don’t let her die!” Another one ordered.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOc3JAZZMM
“It’s too late, sir. Subject Rose is dead.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkdLIYeS6i
There was a loud noise as someone threw materials and equipment in the floor.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o9H3GQ32v
I know I was still alive. I can hear them perfectly. But I can’t feel my heart. I opened my eyes and saw a mirror above me.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVk5Y3FY2r
My eyes were the color of blood.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIWAL2WELx

I flinched as the man finished tying my hands behind me. I saw the other one tying Sky’s hand. He was gritting his teeth. I’m sure he didn’t liked to be tied up. But right now, I was too damn scared to care.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrwNxvRctU
They gave us a kick but I didn’t budge. Sky was another story. He was slammed to the floor but at the last moment he righted himself.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfjqdvVaVj
“You’ve been a bad girl for 16 years, my dear child. You made us chase you from all over the world.” The blonde man spoke as he walked towards me. “So, how have you been?”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDIGwPb4MK
“Since when do you care about me, Henry?” I spat.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgcc3JHUVb
He laughed. “Yes, you’ve been fine.” He continued as if his mood couldn’t be tainted. “After all, you’ve evaded us for 16 years.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzq80EEVPz
“Gretel, what the hell is happening?” Sky asked.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3dWJJLVNy
All three men turned to stare at Sky like he had lost his mind. I know he wanted to beat the crap out of these three but I also know that he didn’t because he was waiting for my go-signal, which I still haven’t gave.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPTFSCmNy
“Gretel?” Henry asked with a patronizing smile that made Sky’s blood boil.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC8YL8Cp3r
“Duh,” was all Sky’s answer and he was instantly kicked in the stomach. He doubled over in the ground.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡYivbefV0aI
“Sky!” I stood up and ran towards him. “I’m sorry to have you involve.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRcoKRhmd4
“What lies have you feeding this man, Rose?” Henry inquired.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLH3JscmRf
“Rose?” Sky and I asked simultaneously.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQyj2MyXNJ
“Your name, my dear. It’s Rose.” He answered.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnASMkJ3HX
“I didn’t told any lies, Henry.” I said through gritted teeth. “What do you expect me to do when I don’t remember anything except for the times I’ve spent with you? Which is the exact memories I would have wanted to lose.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DJPHtiTP9

Sky and I were sat back to back in the living room of the house. The interior was plain. The windows were covered in thick curtains, most of the floor was covered in carpet.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFFQxrbgvS
“They look happy, don’t they?” Sky asked, pointing to a portrait above the fireplace.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEwXudqM7f
I followed his eyes towards it and saw it. My eyes grew as I took in the portrait. It was a family of four. The mother was standing on the left. Her hair was the reddest of all and it complemented her fair feature. Her ocean blue eyes laughing and full of love. Beside her was the father. His blonde hair unruly and his leaf green eyes were joyous and strong and proud. Between them were two children; a boy and a girl. The boy was obviously older. He was standing beside his sister proudly. He had his father’s hair and mother’s eyes. The girl had her mother’s hair; the purest of red and it hung over her waist, twisting and curling at the tail. Her eyes a mix of blue and green.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgTWXQYrmX
I jolted back as memories came rushing back to me. My breathing was heavy as I tried to stop the rush of images that came flooding into me. Sky, concerned, moved towards me and called my names several times before I could comprehend what has happened.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBCpraRCqn
I was lying on the floor. Blood was dripping from my nose. “I remember.” I mumbled.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF12Cwf2jm
“Remember what?” He asked.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡifDccA2a2p
“It’s me.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M0LcsV45m
“What?”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB1tDE0TGj
“The kid on the photo,” I answered. “It’s me.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZzTbLueWw
No wonder I know this place. I lived in it. And my family was dead. Dead because of me. And I couldn’t stop the tears that started to fall. Now, I that remembered, I wished I didn’t. I should have just continued to be Gretel.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5jEQw7MAc
“Gret,” He called, moving more closely towards me. “Gretel, it’s all right.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ObvrPvlw
“No,” I bawled. “No, it’s not. Everything will not be alright now that I remember.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBvouH9YV6
“What change?”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡvybOc2ljPV
Except for my appearance? My hair was no longer curled at the end and it stopped just below my shoulder. My eyes were no longer the beautiful color of blue green but a faded brown like it had enough of life. But I knew that wasn’t his question so I answered, “My prospective.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYXkatMZZ7
Someone started to clap and I quickly sat up, stopping my tears. Henry and his two henchmen were at the door. My fear of these three have completely vanished as I remembered my family. These are the men who took them away. The men who killed them. My breathing heavy and I had trouble seeing clearly.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOJ2cdJmcE
“Kill the other one, we’re leaving.” Henry commanded.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHcEwpHRJw
“No!” I screamed. “Sky!” I tried to push him away but I heard the gunshot and he dropped to the ground.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvLBGenGd
My blood boiled and I saw red. I felt my body shaking. I know he’s still breathing. I know my Sky will live. But they will pay. I lost enough and I’m not losing him.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc2feesXBE
The ground was shaking beneath me. I couldn’t control my anger. Couldn’t rein it in. I couldn’t keep it in anymore. It’s time the world see what I am.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4mPISeqKY
But the world had to wait because when I turned to look at Sky, all thought vanish but him. Due to anger, I quickly destroyed the rope in my hands. He was sprawled on the floor. Holding his wound at the stomach. I leaned closer to his face as I removed his rope.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxesiP9xdP
“I’m sorry, Sky. For everything” I cried. “For having you involve.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ1NYg2reD
“Gretel, you didn’t involve me. I chose to be.” He then reached a bloodied hand and caress my cheek. “No matter what, you’re still my Gretel.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QHsFqkUQ4
I let go of his hand and stood up to face my three nightmares. My own personal monsters. They were positioned in a triangle. Henry at the middle.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNC7gUXpra
All I can think was how they took my family away. How they were taking Sky. My breathing was slowly becoming uneven as the whole house shook. Chunks of woods and stones were falling. Everywhere but near Sky. His circle was perfectly clean from any debris.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdTg0Sx3jL
Watch out, world. Here comes Gretel.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpBoRhOccF
I could feel fear radiate in the air. I could almost taste it. The trio in front of me didn’t look so scary anymore. They were insignificant. People no one would care if they died. It’ll do the world good to be rid of them.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5tTcKN9af
My eyes turned red.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpteFt6dwp
I wanted to save Henry for last. So, I started with the man on the left. I stared at his eyes. He was not moving. Staring directly at my eyes. The other two started to run but I held my right hand up and pulled them back with an invisible force. They fought back but I paralyzed their body all without leaving the third man’s stare.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdOzBGRqS3
He started to shake as fear ate at his mind. His breathing fastening and his heart beat quickening. For a few minutes, he was quiet and the next he was screaming his lungs out as he fell to the floor trying to scratch his brain out.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ698A2lkQvu
I tilted my head to the right. I wanted to feel bad at what I was doing. Really, I did. I just couldn’t find it in me. So, without remorse, I snapped my fingers and he stopped moving.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QUz4z2aMz
I turned to the man at Henry’s right. This man was no different from the other. I stared at his eyes and he pleaded for me to just kill him. So, I granted his wish. I snapped my fingers and he stopped breathing.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡALNplo5cPX
I freed Henry from being paralyzed and he quickly fell to his knees, begging. “Please, Rose. Think this through.” His voice quivered. “I know you never wanted to be a monster.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW6ow9KQZg
I pulled him towards me with a simple flick of my hand. He stopped mid-air in front of me. “Too late,” I whispered. “You’ve already made me one.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡl56fFaPIlC
Then I stared at his eyes. I showed him his worst nightmare: being burn alive. In his mind, he was burning. He could feel the heat in his skin. Feel the smoke fill his lungs. The pain as fire engulfed him. He started screaming. Begging for me to stop. But I never did.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVn4kItqVj
I never will.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡobfuALElCD
I closed my mouth to his. Just an inch away. And I blew fear in it. So that even though I don’t stare at me his nightmares will still continue.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXJHdoS26d
“Goodbye, uncle.” I whispered to his ears. “Rose is dead a long time ago, don’t you remember? You killed her when you put that monster blood on her.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo92tuLXUG
I turned and went to Sky. He was still conscious and I am sure he witnessed everything I’ve just done.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiSwNsirNU
I blinked and my eyes returned to brown.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oSP66eY8l
“Remind me not to get on your bad side.” He joked as he cough.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOJlQdPCaJ
I cannot believe he could still make jokes. With all that has happened. With his injury and with my abilities. I knelt besides him and helped him stood up.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr2bYPDghr
“Come on, let’s get you somewhere and treat that wound of yours.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnQ4dWarUj
We walked side by side. His arm on my shoulder and my arm on his waist, supporting his weight. Helping him walk as straight as possible.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡN67xrYKhAV
“Have I told you I love you?” He asked like it was the normal-est of all sentences.copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tm35lTIBb
My heart skipped a beat. “No, but you kept on dropping clues.” Then added in a whisper and hoped he didn’t hear it, “I love you, too.”copyright protection98ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNy0RMW2eR
