Chapter 99


What do I do now?

I mulled this single question over in my mind for a long time. Whether I wanted to believe it or not, I was shaken by my conversation with Aurore.

"What is wrong?"

I turned and saw Anael standing there, smiling serenely.

"Nothing." I said, frowning.

"Are you sure?" Anael asked. "If there is nothing wrong, then why do you look so sad?"

"I'm not sad." I said, shaking my head. "And I don't look sad either."

"Not physically." Anael said, shaking his head. "However, I am not looking at your face. Your soul is saddened."

"Whatever, man…" I said, shaking my head.

"Would you feel better if you talked to me about it?" Anael asked, smiling.

"I doubt it." I said, shaking my head. "Anyways, I better head out. I have the rest of my life to look forwards to."

"Tell me, is that girl saddening you?" Anael asked as I walked away. I froze in place, and turned to him.

"I can see it in your eyes." Anael said, staring at me, leaning against the railing of the observation deck.

"I don't feel sad about her!" I said, frowning. "I love her more than anything!"

"Yes, and that is what saddens you." Anael said, smiling. "You don't wish to bring pain to the person you love. Such empathy, it is worthy of my affection."

"Okay…" I said, frowning.

"However, you must remember one thing." Anael said, smiling. "You must always love someone, but if she is in danger then you must some time hurt the one you love."

"What?" I asked, shocked.

"Wem der große Wurf gelungen, eines Freundes Freund zu seyn…" Anael said, smiling.

"I… I don't know what that means." I said, frowning.

"Whomever has been so lucky as to be a friend to a friend." Anael said, smiling. "It is true, is it not?"

"Yeah, I guess…" I said, frowning.

"If you truly love that girl, then I do think it would be best if you hurt her." Anael said, smiling. "Is there a great risk in what you will do?"

"Yeah, I think there is." I said, nodding.

"Then you know what you should do." Anael said, shaking his head. "You must always love her, even if it means that you must break her heart. If her heart breaks by your rejection, it would no doubt be better than if her heart was broken by your death."

"Yeah…" I said, nodding. "I wish that I didn't have to reject her… I truly do love her."

Anael looked at me, and smiled warmly.

"You must do what you truly wish to do." Anael said, shaking his head. "Whether your love of her is worth risking her becoming involved in your dangerous life and possibly dying."

"I understand." I said, frowning. "I love Petal. I truly do… But if you love someone, then you have to let her go."

"Und der Cherub steht ver Gott…" Anael hummed, smiling, as I walked down from the observation deck.

I walked through the hallways, depressed. I finally realized that I needed to break things off with Petal. I did not want to do such a thing, but I had no choice. I wanted to protect her, but if she stayed in my life, it would hurt far too much. It would be too much of a risk for her.

I went over to Professor Hastings, and talked with him.

"Ah, Kellyn, what is it?" Professor Hastings asked, frowning. "What would you like for me to help you with?"

"About my reassignment…" I said, frowning.

"Ah, yes, I believe Petal came to me and asked if the two of you could be assigned together." Professor Hastings said, smiling. "I believe I do have one place you two could go…"

"No, that's okay." I said, frowning. "I'll take the job in Oblivia."

"Are-are you sure?" Professor Hastings asked, surprised.

"Yeah." I said, nodding. "I need to be apart from Petal for now. I need to protect her."

"Well, if you're sure…" Professor Hastings said, nodding. "However, I was disappointed. I hope that you will do your best."

"I will." I said, nodding. I turned from Professor Hastings, and walked towards my room.

"Master!" Nyu said, running over to me. "It's not fair! Why does Mary get to evolve and not me?"

"I'm just better, I guess." Mary said, smiling.

"It's complicated." I said, frowning. "But I guess that's just how it works."

"But master…" Nyu said, frowning. "It's not fair…"

"I guess it's not…" I sighed, frowning.

"Master…" Mary said, worried. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am." I said, sighing. "See, Mary, I just want to be alone right now."

"Right, master…" Mary said, nodding. The two walked back to my room, a little saddened. It hurt to have to do something like that to the two of them, but I didn't really want to deal with anything right now.

"Kelly?" I hear Petal's voice from behind me. I especially didn't want to deal with that.

"Oh, Petal…" I said, turning back to her, shocked. "Wh-what are you doing here?"

"Well, I was looking for you." Petal said, smiling. "Say, what do you want to do now? Want to go back to the party? Or maybe we could have sex…"

"Petal…" I said, biting my lip. "I'm sorry… But we have to break up…"

"Wh-what?" Petal asked, shocked, her face going pale.

"I'm sorry, but I need to go to Oblivia." I said, frowning. "We have to break up. We will part ways here."

I turned, and walked away, tears falling from my face as I walked away from her.

"So… I'm alone again?" Petal's voice sounded so forlorn and sad, that I could barely stand it. However, I had no choice.


So, Kellyn has left Petal! What should happen next? We'll see next story!
