C1: Save Me!

Shhhhh~

A gust of wind brushed my skin as my long hair waved covering my face, while watching the shore and the sunset. It's cold, but I feel comfortable with it. This may be the very first time I felt so comfortable after all those years of hardship.

"Mom... Dad... Big Bro, I promise I'll hold on to my life." I mumble to the wind, may it reach you wherever you are.

"KYAAAAA!"

I was distracted when a girl screamed who was sleeping on the sand. Why would she scream? Doesn't she know there are people other than her here trying to relax? Can't be helped.

I approach the squealing woman who is now crying. What's her problem anyway?

"Are you alright, miss?" I asked. She looked at me and I felt my heart was stunned... Her face was... funny! I barely restrained myself from laughing.

Her face was darkened to the extent where her back skin is lighter. Definitely sunburned.

"T-There's a c-crab. I-it bit me! Whaaaa! It hurts!" She answered, pointing at her toe while still crying.

I looked at her toe. It's pinching not biting. Anyway, her pinky toe was bloody and the crab won't let go no matter what I do. The only solution I can think of is to kill it but...

"Take a deep breath and hold it, this may hurt but trust me." I said. I slowly lifted her foot with the crab, she flinched but did not complain. She heeds my advice and trusts me.

I put her foot with crab on the flat hard surface of the lounge. I readied my fist to punch it while she shut her eyes.

*CRACKED*

Tsk. It died but I hurt my knuckles because of its shell. I hurriedly warped the bloody toe with my handkerchief while her eyes still shut. This girl is definitely scared to death huh..

"It's done. be careful next time and don't rest comfortably here, there are other sea creatures other than this crab. And lastly, don't disturb others." I coldy said, before walking away.

"M-mister! Thank you!" she yelled. So I turned back to glare at her, didn't she hear what I said?

hmp! she's lucky my mood has lifted quite a bit because of her burnt face. If not... I don't know what I can do to her.

*Ring ring ring*

"What is it?" I asked without looking at who the caller was.

"ALECSIES DRAKES! WHERE ARE YOU?! I BEEN CALLING YOU HOURS A YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PICKING UP! DIDN'T YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS?!"

"What do you want?" I asked coldly. This bitch dare to call me by name and yell at me? How dare she?!

"Your workload has increased again, and another workload will arrive, if you don't want to work, then prepare to be stuck in your office for months, I won't help you! hmp!"

"I don't plan to ask you for help either. But if you don't tend to me when I need you then prepare to be fired. I did tolerate your manners towards me because we are childhood friends, but one more time you yell at me, that friendship will vanish. Oh and one more thing, I'm out of the country so don't bother to worry about me." I don't care if there are workloads waiting for me. I just want to take time to breathe.

"Wha--" I ended the call without her finishing.

*Beep*

I am Alecsies Drakes. 24, CEO of Freedom Entertainment. I do not intend to take the position that is supposed to be for my older brother, but he died… leaving me to take it from him.

Another reason is, I will have the power to investigate the accident thoroughly without anyone interfering. I have a strong feeling that the conspirator is only within my range, someone who has a desire to have this position. If I hadn't survived that day maybe he's now the one in power.

I think it's about time to go back to my suite, I need to plan ahead before I go back to that place.

"****Umm**... M-mister**..."

The same voice from the girl was heard behind me. She was limping but still walked after me? though her wound is not that serious to begin with so it's fine to push herself like this but why is she after me?

"…What is it?" I asked as I stared at her blankly and down to her hurt bloody toe.

"I… I think I've fallen' for you…" she answered, as my brow crumpled at what I heard.

She's blushing. This isn't the first time someone confessed to me like this, but we only talked for less than 5 minutes and this is what she'll say? She's too fast. I admire her braveness, but this is not the time to fool around.

"Sorry." I answered coldly and turned around. I didn't bother looking back. I just happen to help her out of pity and because of her loudness and this is what I'll get? No thanks.

-----

Seaside.

"Tch! And here I thought I found the right man for me." I slam my butt on the lounger as I cross my arms and legs while pouting.

So far, he's the only man who helped me among these people, since I disguised myself as a plain, loud, annoying woman. He even smashed the magical crab that bit me, that strength is enough to be my groom. And I doubt my father would reject him too.

I watch the sun disappear from the sky and watch the moon shine.

'I need to prepare to go back…'

I stood up and walked to the part where no soul was around. I stood at the platform disguised as a rock as I chant in a singsong way the prayer.

'Moon that shined for me,

be that light that will guide me.

Wind that blows from the sea,

form the path just for me.

Árasha la Pangaea, resté est Brindely.'

The platform lit up as it swallowed me.
