"Good morning, Callista!"The morning dew, melancholy violin music, and birds chirping in the side alley set the tone for the small village named Callista, which is one of Japan's villages inside a district, a rural area. A village where many people celebrate happy occasions with endless tables of food, remnants of memories from festivals that bring every villager's heart closer, families bond with smiles and laughter, crystal clear lakes and ponds that serve as tourists who feed fishes, with the perfect weather, blue skies, and clouds that almost never get dark when it's night time, perfect scenery of the sunrise and sunset, just the perfect serene of Village Callista.One place always stands out, and it's the main church in this village.Every weekend, holy mass is held, and the majority of people attend with their hearts closer to their saints, gods, and beliefs, causing money to flow quickly.The church is regarded as the most beautiful place in the Village of Callista, and it is

It's now the next day after your birthday, and it's Saturday, meaning, it's the weekend. There was a mass, and people greeted the pastor as they were leaving the church, and the mass ended just a few minutes ago. "Good morning, father." "Greetings, bless you." People left the church as soon as the mass had ended, but some stayed to send more prayers and meditate. Me, my father, and my mother smiled as they walked through the church entrance, bidding goodbye to the people who had attended the mass, and I stood behind my mother in my white floral dress, shying away from the crowd while hiding behind her. "Thank you so much, Family Marin, especially Fernando Marin. Such a lovely family, may God bless you." The people said as they praised the three of us. "Thank you for attending this Saturday's mass as well." My parents bowed. My father nudged me to bow, which I immediately obeyed. I bowed as my gaze fell to the floor, and I remained there until I heard footsteps walking into the c

6 years later..."Good night, Callista!"Six years have passed since I met the six boys, and my mother shouted a greeting as I replied back with a smile. Everything was still the same, the church was renovated just a bit, still a peaceful village, and everything was fine, yet my father wasn't still there for my birthdays in my fifteen years in life, so I got used to itTomorrow is my sixteenth birthday."Good night, ma!" I shouted."Night, I'll leave you here in the church for a while, okay?" My mother said as she kissed my forehead and exited the church. I just sighed and got used to being left alone in the church, to the point where the darkness and eerie atmosphere no longer frightened me.I felt my eyes slowly drift off as I lean my head on the pew until I heard footsteps and my eyes shot open."Who's there?!" I stood up and checked the surroundings in the church."Allura," a voice called and my heart almost dropped, until I saw Zacharias."Zach, it's you. You scared me." I huffed

A few days passed, and the church was painfully quiet, the place was getting dirty. The holy mass is still held, yet both of my parents are absent, and I had to be the one attending.My mother is in the church's room, which is also considered a confession room, on the second floor all day. Even in the past few days, I felt worried every minute. I have to walk from my house to the church to knock on the door and bring her food every day.One time, I caught her creaking the door open, but her eyes widened as she saw me standing just outside with a tray of food, and my heart cracked as I saw her appearance; she has a black eye, bruises everywhere, fuzzy hair, dark circles under her eyes, and she was extremely thin."M-Mama..." I sobbed as I put the tray of food on the floor and hugged her."What did papa do to you?" I cried while wrapping my arms around her waist."Allura, I'm sorry. Callista, baby. Let me call you that... I'm sorry, Callista, come back." She said with a hoarse, cracked

"Marry...? That's ridiculous." My smile kept as I read the letter once again."Is that even possible for me?" I whispered while my smile faded."It's forbidden, everything I do is forbidden."I inhaled deeply as I folded the paper and stuffed it into my pockets, but my attention was drawn to the one spot in the chapel where the lights were swiftly flickering.I was about to fix the lights until I heard my mother call me, which caused me to remember that I'll still be checking on her."Callista!" My ears perked up as a ringing voice in my ears jolted that made me remember that my mother is inside the room."Ah, yeah, I almost forgot. I'm coming!" I shouted as I rose up from the pew and headed down the church's second-floor balcony to check on my mother after entering the narrow stairwell."Ma, what do you ne-" I said as I opened the door, but my eyes widened and my stomach dropped at what I saw."MA!" I shrieked as I knelt down beside her unconscious body on the floor. She has cuts all

202211:11Silence. Remorse.Only the ticking clock could be heard inside the room, especially the hazel-eyed woman, whose eyes were filled with void and blatantly stared into the frigid atmosphere."Allura..." Fernando said in a barely audible voice."Years ago, the young guys who are now a dangerous criminal organization known as Regio told me that if I don't show myself up to you, they'll help me get out of my case in prison, but they deceived me, and I willingly accepted my sentence." My father said."After your mother died, I've been having dreams, sometimes, even nightmares about her, and she never left me, she never did." He said."After you woke up from the coma, your stepmother... she took care of you, pretended to be your mother, and the one who helped you graduate.""Regio is dangerous, even if they were still a child." My father faces you with tear-filled eyes. "Y-Your stepmother... I had no choice... She- She plays a role in this. Without her... w-we're-" He added, but co

1 YEAR LATERBangI clicked my tongue as the bullet penetrated through the center target, and I sighed as I pick up more ammo and inserted it in the magazine's Glock. I lifted my arms once again, this time aiming for the center target while gripping the pistol hard and firmly, waiting for the perfect moment to fire.BangSmoke came out from the muzzle part as I blew it after the bullet landed perfectly on the target.I fixed my belt around my waist as I kept my Glock inside one of the belt's pockets. I'm wearing a tight black long-sleeve shirt and slacks with a belt around my thighs that has pockets and around my waist.A year had passed, and I knew about my heinous past which I never wanted to go back to. I decided to live with Araoluwa and move on with everything, especially when I left my father in a juvenile and cut connections with him, and now I'm starting to forget about everything.Even The Regio."Allura," I heard Raven from behind as he entered the training ground just outsi
Hasty Feisty ch. 47 | BRUISES OF REMINISCING
FLASHBACKSAfter a week of knowing my past and from the juvenile, I decided to live with Araoluwa, since I had nowhere to go. Regio isn't an option. That one week was the worst in my life; I was staring at the wall for days, refusing to eat, until I finally decided to pull myself together, since being like that wouldn't help me at all, and now I'm here."So, have you decided, Allura?" Amanda asked while the two of us are standing in front of the training ground just outside the mansion. "Do you want to train to be able to be one of Araoluwa's members and be my right-hand man? Don't worry, you're free to refuse, Allura, no pressure!""U-um," I gulped in nervousness as I saw the training ground, people were being beaten up, there were gunshots everywhere, mentors were being ruthless with their trainees, members were being yelled at, and they were being forced to do laps around the training field if they made one mistake."Ah right, you're still a newbie. Don't worry, the mentors won't t
