I want to die

I was feeling that soothing air was passing over me.

I was thinking I am showering in the rain of summer.

I was guessing these smiles are from my endearment.

I was in a mirage that these throb radiates my name.

But, the air is poisonous.

The drops of rain are acidic.

Smiles are filled with lust.

Throb is beating for thirst.

Now, the time to break the mirage.

Need to accept the real aspect.

Can't survive in this golden cage.

I love you but I choose my self-respect.

With the blood, you are stained by the wound I provided.

Not only is it emitting from your body, but it's also piercing my chest.

Every drop of blood that is flowing in my veins,

Giving me the feeling of burning all over not any peace.

This air I wanted to only share with you.

Not allowing to inhale alone without you.

Yes, I choose my self-respect over my love

But to live without you I can't expect.

~~Rose~~

"Ash"

"Ash"

"Ash"

This was the only thing she remembered. She wanted to feel his warmth. She wanted to feel his lips on her. She wanted to feel his hand on her hair. Why did he have to break her dream? Why did he have to play with her heart? Why did he make her love? Rose loved Ash at the same time she hated him. She wanted to shout and asked, "Why did you have to love me when we are not meant to be?" Rose was thinking this.

Then she heard a sound. Someone is coming near her. Who was he? She was supposed to die on the beach. She remembered she shot the gun but was she not dead. She remembered the pain. Then?? Maybe they were soul collectors. She wanted to argue with them. Why did they take her far away from Ash? But she answered her question herself. Because she committed suicide. She will go to hell. Then, what about Ash? She was thinking this when she heard, "Why isn't she waking up? Didn't I tell you not to hurt her?" A deep male voice said. "Sorry, Master. She was about to commit suicide so we bang her." She heard a rebounding sound of a slap. She thought to herself, "Am I not dead? Who are these people?" The male voice who Rose thought master said, "You fool, do you have any idea what grandmaster master would do if he knew about it. Quickly wake her up. Grandmaster will come in an hour. And what about the boy?" "Master, he will bleed to death"

"Good, if he is alive then you will be dead."

Rose was thinking about all the conversations she heard. She understood that she was alive and kidnapped. Now she was no more surprised that she was alive. As she knew that, she would not die so easily. However, the real question was why did they kidnap her? Moreover, by saying the boy who would bleed to death did they mean Ash? She felt her chest become constricted. She knew that he would not have a chance to survive as she injured him pretty badly. Nevertheless, deep down she wanted Ash to be alive. How ironic, she was the one who shot him but she was the one who wanted him to be alive. She laughed at herself. When she heard, "Grandmaster wanted Rose. She is the main character of our game. So make sure she is alive until the game. When our game is finished make sure to finish her too." Master said.

"Do you think he will want that? After all, she is-"

"Silence. Don't you know what to say and what not to say?" Master said in a heated voice.

"Sorry, Master." The other man said.

"Go and find a doctor," Master said.

"I already called for a doctor."

After that, they both went out. Rose opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling. She turned to the right and saw the door. She was in a room with a set of sofa, a bed on which she is lying, a window but it had black glass so she could not tell the time and two doors. One led outside but she did not know about the other door. She tried to sit up. However, the pain is making her clenched the bed sheet. It was dirty and oily. Nevertheless, right now she needed to hold it to support her. She was holding it and thinking about an escape plan. But first, she needed to know why they took her. As she was sure, they got the right person. But why? Maybe because of sharing. However, she was not sure. She wanted to go out and die peacefully. She did not want to be alive in this world. She wanted to be free from this immeasurable pain. She saw nothing that could make her kill herself. She thought about using a bed sheet but the greasy feeling stopped her. It was funny that she wanted to die but not in a poor manner. After a few minutes, she could sit without support. Vertigo stopped. They bang her hard on the right side. She was still hearing the Chiiiiiii sound from her right ear. But she didn't care about it. The only goal was to get out and commit suicide. She tried to stand up when she heard the same sound again. She looked up and saw a man around forty came inside. When he saw her, he smiled.

"You are awake. Good to see you." He said in a fake friendly tone. Rose ignored the sarcasm and said, "Who are you? Why did you take me?"

"Sorry. My manners. I am Albert, The right-hand man of the grandmaster. You can call me Al."

"And?" Rose asked.

"O, your second question. Sorry, I can't answer that only the grandmaster can tell you about it" Al said.

"Why? Didn't he tell you the reason?" Rose asked.

"He did. But you should hear it directly from him. Do you want to eat something?" Al asked.

This unexpected question sent Rose off guard. She said, "Do you know I wanted to die. So why let me live. Just let me die peacefully. I won't bother you all." She almost begged. She could not take it anymore. She wanted to die.

The man laughed and said, "I know that you wanted to die. And trust me; we will make sure to kill you painlessly if the grandmaster agrees with you."

"Who is your grandmaster?" Rose asked.

"You will see," Al said.

There was a knock on the door. Both looked toward it and saw that a man around mid-twenty was standing. He said, "Master, Grandmaster is here." Al smiled and said, "Perfect timing." Then he looked at Rose and said, "Come, let's meet with the grandmaster. I am sure you will be delighted to meet him."

Both Rose and Al got down. Rose saw a man sitting on a sofa. All people are standing in a row before him. All were looking downward. One man with golden hair was kneed in front of other men. Rose could not see the man who was sitting on the sofa as he was facing all men. She heard him saying, “How could you be so careless. Do you know she is?”

"Sorry master. It won't happen next time."

That man said, "There is no next time in my dictionary." And two men took that golden-haired man. That man shouted and said, "Forgive me, grandmaster. Give me another chance." But they dragged him away. And they heard a gunshot. And the scream of a man. If Rose stayed alive after today, she would hear this voice for the rest of her life. She arrived at the last stair. The master said, "Grandmaster, Sue is awake." The man stood up from his chair. For some reason Rose's hand became sweaty and her heart rate increased. She could not focus due to an increased heartbeat. She felt like she would faint anytime. When she heard, "My daughter. Welcome." She looked up and got the biggest shock of her life.
