With Shade and Stefan, outside the train on the little stairs

"You stupid!" Stefan kicked Shade on his stomach.

Shade fell onto the rails, but Stefan picked him up by the collar and punched him.

"You dumb a**! I told you not to call me that in public!" He stopped punching him, but started to kick him. Shade coughed out blood which angered Stefan more.

"Urrgh!" He threw Shade onto the ground, grabbed the cigarette box from his pocket, lighted it up.

He breathed in, but he didn't relax.

He looked down at Shade, "Want one?"

"No," Shade heaved.

"So... that girl HAD to tell a story, that story is even more boring than my old lady's sh!t talk,"

"..." Shade stayed silent.

"D!ckhead," Stefan commented, threw away the cigar then lifted Shade by the collar again,"When we go in, act normal, you did not get kicked or punched by me, understood?"
Shade nodded.

"Good,"

The two walked back in as Shade clutched onto his stomach.

Fine and Rein

"Fine, it's not time to chat and tell stories! We are dead!" Rein complained.

"I don't care about those idiots! They are like... the most bossy people in the world." Fine didn't bother to face Rein.

"But still-"

"There they come," Fine snapped.

"Sorry we're late, young ladies," Stefan smiled.

"No problem, is Shade feeling better?" Fine replied.

"I'm feeling better thank you," Shade didn't make eye contact, but looked outside.

Fine saw Shade's hands clutching onto his stomach, then looked at Stefan who was still smiling,"I shall continue the story,"

"Yes, please do," Stefan's eye twinkled, but Fine could see through him. Annoyed. Disgusted.

Felitiny stood there, tears in her eyes. She tried hard not to cry, but she couldn't help it. It started to rain, the maids took Darci inside, while her maids tried to take her indoors. She didn't move. She pushed her maids away and cried. She fell onto her knees and cried, the sky's comforted her by crying with her.

A few days later, on a sunny day, she and Darci had a boatride on the lake. Felitiny wore her favourite kimono that gave a taste of spring, with her favourite pink ribbon.

They were gossiping, enjoying their time, until Feli's ribbon fell into the lake.

"Feli! Your ribbon!" Darci shouted.

"Aaa... " Feli panicked.

Felitiny leaned out, reaching for the ribbon.

"Feli! It's dangerous! You might fall!" Darci tried to stop her, but it was no use. She already fell into the lake.

"Aah!" Feli made a short scream before she started to drown.

"Feli! Hey, mister! Turn back, turn back! We need to get her!" Darci yelled to the person who was steering the boat at the front.

As the boat turned, there was a loud splash, then a man started swimming across the lake, the pulled Feli back up. He swam back to the surface, followed by the boat.

The man was Deshon. His purple hair was drooping as it was wet, his shirt now see through. He leaned into Feli to perform a CPR, but her red eyes opened, meeting his dark, purple eyes. Her face turned red, but slapped his face, pushing him off. Her maids ran up to her, giving her a small blanket. They lifted her up, as Darci ran up to her.

"I'm fine, I'm all good, let's just go," Felitiny said before anyone got the chance to talk.

The wealthier kids were punching Deshon, hurting him badly.

"How does it feel? Mas-ter Shade? Haha!" The kids made fun of him. Shade was the name that was known publicly, the start of his father's fall was his birth name- Deshon, being spread and known to many people, as people's birth name was like a treasure to them. The kids emphasized the name SHADE.

Richer adults kept making him work, he got punished for somethings he didn't do, in simpler words, his life was just layers of hatred.

One week later~

"Find them! We have to find the two!" People were shouting everywhere, holding spears, fire torches, swords and other weapons. Deshon, or SHADE held tightly onto Felitiny's (also called FINE to Deshon) hand as they ran through the forest on the mountain. They kept running until they came to a cliff.

They stopped running when he heard the man in charge (The high elder/father of Felitiny's family) shout,"Shade! Deshon! If you don't come out now, with the lady, not only you, but the lady as well, are going to get punished, but forgiven. If you choose not to come, you guys both will live the life of being chased! Is that a manly decision to make!?"

Deshon kept running, but in his mind: He is right, is it really right to leave? This happened last time. It's not right. I don't mind about me, but if I take her along, she would be chasen all her life, and I don't want that to happen. If we go back, I will be punished, but her life would be back to normal, that'd be the right path."

He stopped running and said to Felitiny,"Here, stay behind this rock, I'll talk out with them."

"No! What if they hurt you?"

"I'll be fine, I promise," He comforted her. He left her alone in the rain, and went out to the men.

Few moments later, the group of men walked near to the rock. Felitiny saw this and quickly stood up,"SHADE! WHERE ARE YOU?"

When she stood up, she saw Deshon in the middle of the men, hands held behind his back by other men. He had sad eyes, but he couldn't make eye contact with her.

"Shade... Shade..! Don't tell me.. you sold both of us!"

"I'm sorry, but that is for your sake, I want you to live happily, and just... BE happy. I don't want you to be chasen around your whole life!"

"Shade... how could you do this? To me.. to US?"

"That's it! You're going with us" The man shouted as he stormed in.

"No I'm NOT!" Felitiny jumped off the cliff, yelling.

"FINE!" Deshon pulled his hands away, running to the cliff. He ran down the pathway, but when he arrived, she was on the ground. Her legs were bleeding, badly, but she was still breathing.

He hugged onto her as he started to cry and whisper,"I'm sorry Fine, I really am.. I didn't know you'd jump off.. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.." he repeated over and over.

"What happened in the week?" Stefan asked.

"I will tell you that after a break," Fine replied.

"Can I... see you for a moment?" Shade asked with his face covered with his bangs.
