„I want to hold her.. But my senses tell me to stop..“

I thought on the pier of Freedom as my senses tingled with emotion on the brink of falling into a cry. How would they understand, what I feel, what anyone feels. The aggresive autumn wind blew by, making me feel the coldness of this cruel world that we've all learned to embraced. I looked towards her emotionlessly staring at the clouds already touching the Cathedral tops. Melancholy overcame her, or was that the only feeling in this dead haven we call Harlem.

 

„Mason.. The bells are chiming.. It is the time to prove our faith.. And worship him..“

Scarlett said shivering next to me as well as I, I felt opressed and worthless, why has it become protocol to go to Church, can't we simply enjoy each other in our own company, why must we go somewhere to prove our faith in God. I believe, I should not have to go to the Cathredal to prove my devotion and love for God. The echo of the Heralds could already be heard flowing on the cruel majestic hard wind that our maker has set down upon us.

 

„Scarlett.. Could we simply stay and enjoy nature.. Could we say our prayer here.. And prove ourselves that way..“

I replied hastily with a forced generic tone in my voice, not wanting t upset her. I love her, I always have. From the day we met as children until now, I do not know why, I do not know how. She is so robotic and emotionless, how could someone fall in love with such a person. Why do I love her? A question no one can answer but me, Harlem does not know of love. Only pretending.

 

„Absolutely not! Don't you remember Mason.. We have already missed it once before.. We have received a warning from the Heralds, don't you remember. They said that are eternal soul is at stake. They said to not anger God but believe and worship him!“

She replied coldly standing up on her shivering legs, emotion overcame me, the emotion of sorrow. Why am I cursed to anger her with how I feel. Why must I obey her and everyone set above in order to gain their trust and company. She spoke of a time when we were five, when I had broken my leg. And couldn't attend a mission.

 

„Scarlett.. Please.. I.. I believe in us, don't you? It is important what you believe in! Not what they tell you to believe, not what they want you to believe in! What do you believe in Scarlett!?“

I asked holding her by the shoulders, followed by her immedieate hard release, I felt her moving away from me. I could sense her aggravation and resentment that this corrupted megalopolis has engraved into all our minds, and hearts. The bells chimed on with loud breaking sounds echoing throught Harlem scaring birds and such animals with their might and loudness. A feeling of opression overcame me, the bell kept going on and on scaring away the beautiful creatures I am in temptation to see. I felt as if I too should run, run far away, without remorse or nostalgia. In God we trust. In his omnipotent might which we must fall under. And fear.

 

„God!“

She replied coldly as I turned away feeling desperate as that was the answer I didn't want her to speak. Turning towards Harlem, made me thought of fire. The burning of this cage. In my own imagination, giving us freedom!  This wretched pain inducing safe haven. Why are they so blind. The Templars speak of Freedom. What freedom? We are enclosed and forced against our own beliefs, will and desires. All we have left is faith.

 

„I am going! You are entitled to your own choices. Freeze to death out here if you wish so!“

She shouted as a tear appeared in my eye, has it come to this. Such resentment and emotionlessnes in the person I ever truly believed I loved. We are nothing alike, however I am nothing alike, alike anyone. All Harlem cares and believes about is protocol and religion. Templar divisions scrambling through the city streets, engraving fear of their own power and might into childrens eyes. Obey or die. What kind of faith is this. They believe God will do everything for them, without them even trying. Are we all destined to live here forever in the shackles of undying devotion and religion. Our children, our children's children. Humanity.

 

„Wait, it has already ended! The bells stopped, how will you find your way, let me escort you!“

I said as the bells stopped chiming, decreasing all senses of orientation and safe paths towards the Cathedral. The chime guidelines have also stopped. All that could be heard was the orchestra and chorus singing inside the huge sanctuary. Light rain started dropping on the heavy walls of Harlem, which I enjoyed so much more than any other nature's miracle. I felt the lightness of a thousad angel kisses falling upon me, how can they not embrace it. I quickly followed after her smelling the scent of her garden roses.

 

„Scarlett! You're going to get lost, wait for me, Hale has thought me these routes while we were hunting. Please!“

I yelled with anxiousness, her beautiful replying voice was muffled under the hard drops of progressingly heavy rain. I followed the route more and more, losing her scent by the second. For the first time in a while I felt scared, scared for her. What if something would happen and she would get hurt. I could never forgive myself, I sweared to protect her with my dying breath against any means of harm.

 

„Scarlett!! Where are you!!“

I shouted stressfully through the massive engaging rain that poured against the hard holy walls of Harlem, further and reluctantly incapacitating my sense of sound. I kept walking while turning about trying to make out her in the midst of all that nature had thrown at me.

 

„Ahh...!“

What was that? Was that her voice, was it the rain? I, couldn't tell. I breathe and held the air in silencing my whole body. Except my heart beating as strong as the determination of a tiger. My love for her as loyal as a Templar's life for his cause.

 

„Ahhhhhhgghhaaaa..!!!!!!!!“

Oh My God, I heard her, it was Scarlett! I ran towards the loud familiar screams, with my heart progressivly beating stronger and stronger. Hoping for the best, I ran through the woods of Harmony trusting my sense of orientation, taught to me by my brother. I ran as fast I could with the branches scratching my face, altough I felt nothing, nothing but my love for my blue haired angel and my non existant sense of sight, but imagination. Her in my arms.

 

„Scarlett!! What's wrong!!? Where are you!!?“

I yelled in high anxiety and fear,  the screams getting louder and louder, I didn't know where to turn. Will I be too late, will she dissapear, I ran further through the woods, smelling something I couldn't comprehend. The strong odor of blood went through my senses along with the senses of fear and strong emotion.

 

„What.. What are you!! Get away!!“

I shouted at the silhouttes standing before me with a half dressed Scarlett, beating her to the ground. I teared up grabbing a wooden long, I ran swiftly and hit one of the men in the knee with him collapsing on top of Scarlett. The smell of blood and rotten flesh grew stronger as well as my intention to murder.

 

„YOU B******S!!  GET OFF HER!! GET AWAY YOU B******S! HELP!! WE'RE BEING ASSAULTED!!!“

My loud cryin screams went through the sentry stations with no response, I cried loudly with tears dropping onto her as the log broke the demons bone. I kept crying, emotions overcame me as I striked into his flesh, more and more, I couldn't stop, I wanted to kill! The other person kicked me in the chest, grabbing me by the mouth starting to tear off my clothing. The collapsed person had already began to bite into Scarlett's lips and deflowering her. Rage and helplesness grew inside of me as I reluctantly tried to fight back but with no success. I tried to scream but the monster's lips bit into mine and blood flew as I shouted for help, more and more I tried. I couldn't, I already gave in. Why can't I. Why!!!!

 

„God.. God.. Help us.. Please..“

I said fighting with my eyes closing with despair, I felt the person abuse me more and more, to the point of no return. My hot blood released through my face. I had lost all emotion for this beautiful world. I just wanted it to end. I wanted to be home next to my father and mother. Enraged and sorrowful tears flowing down my face as I witnessed something beautiful. It was the Sky... The beautiful sky had began opening its eyes. The gentle light shined down upon me and my beloved, uncovering the horrifying sin that these men have unearthed. Four silhouttes had appeared through the holy beautiful nature's miracle as they grew closer and closer, finally falling upon the wretched scum. Judgment at last.

 

„Hale!! Right there!!“

The Templar spoke as my brother appeared before them with amazing swiftness as the rain stopped its descent. I felt as if God had judged them finally, for what they have done. They appeared at my last hopes and prayers beating the lowlives to the ground. A miracle, I felt as if someone was watching us. Telling  them where we were, and at last. Passing judgment and liberating us from the devil's wrath.

 

„Our hearts beating with determination! And our the spectre of our faith shining strong! We are Light!!!“

They all spoke as my vision had slightly opened, revealing a hand shined down upon the heavens. Shining armor reflected off my pure teared out eyes, I grabbed it strongly and forced myself up Hale's body holding him strongly. Releasing heavy tears, embracing his purity and determination as my own. I held without letting  go. Getting lost in thoughts of darkness and the light uncovering it. I cried, without stopping, Hale kneeled  motionlessly with his beating heart harmonized with mine. Sorrow and devotion overcoming him.

 

„Do not worry, little brother.. You are safe..“

Hale said almost beffaling to his shared strong emotion. I looked across his shoulder as Scarlett's unconscious body had been set onto a strong white pony. Thoughts of complete light and heaven overcame me as I set myself up on Hale's horse behind him. He whistled as the horses began to sprint with great swiftness and their riders holding on tight. For the first time in my life, I forgot Harlem, I forgot everything. The only thing that shined inside of me, was faith, hope and determination in my strong reluctant heart as we sprinted down the shined upon Harlem plains of Freedom.

 

I believed, I felt thankfull and fullfiled.

 

I felt Love... And loved
