The Cursed Bride's Vengeance

Chapter 5

Re‐entering the room, Nagisa was met with a sight that made her heartbeats stop for a split second. The brown notebook which belonged to Yui lay on the floor torn into peices, each page ripped off from the binding. Nagisa's intuition told her that the blame would undoubtedly fall on her as there was no one else in the room besides her after Yui left.

With thoughts streaming through her brain, Nagisa tried to act fast and ran towards the tattered notebook, collecting each of the remaining pages, and searched for a place to hide them. Her eyes landed on the bed and she quickly thought of hiding the notebook under it, but let out a shriek as she found burnt clothes there.

"What's the matter?"

Yui entered with a tray of refreshments in her hands, which soon came in contact with the hard floor as she dropped it and and stared wide‐eyed at the ruined pages that Nagisa held in her hands. Bewildered, her eyes searched for her precious notebook that she left there in a perfect condition; but unable to find it, her brain finally processed that what Nagisa had in her hands was, in fact, her notebook.

"What..." Yui took a step forward.

"Yui, I can explain! It wasn't me! I swear, it wasn't ‐ "
"What..."
"Please let me explain ‐ "
"What did you do..."
"Yui?"

Yui's dark bangs covered her eyes and Nagisa was no longer able to see her expression. She was scared to her core that Yui would definitely not withstand this atrocity. "Yui?" she whispered.

"What did you do...to my future??!!!"

Yui's bangs swayed off her face, revealing a pair of crazed and angered eyes which were overflowing with tears. Rage and bloodlust flashed through them as they held no sign of mercy. Nagisa's expression stiffened.

"Y‐Yui?"

"You...you ruined everything!!!" The wild girl rushed forward and tried to strangle Nagisa by tightening her grip on her throat.
"Yui...stop ‐ I can't brea ‐ "

"You idiot!! You good‐for‐nothing piece of trash!! I was so close...so close...to getting everything I ever wanted!!! But you..."

The poor girl who was getting chocked could not comprehend what the other one was saying. She did her best to get Yui's hands off herself.

"All this years...I had to fake a friendship with you idiots to get close to you! Only you!! All went according to what I had planned...I was getting so many informations from you!! Just some more details and I could've ruled the world!!! But now...you will PAY!!"

Nagisa was almost nearing her end when she gathered all her remaining strength and kicked Yui hard on the stomach. Yui staggered back, holding her abdomen while Nagisa found this as a chance for escape. She ran to the door of the room, but before exiting she turned back and yelled.

"I don't know who did this...But whoever did, knew that you deserved it!"

She ran out as fast as her weak legs could take her when Yui tried to follow her, but the pain affected her speed and she could only carry herself to the front door.

"You will...pay! I won't ‐ "

She stopped. Her eyes landed on something that caused her to grin madly. Nagisa's umbrella was still there.

Yui took the umbrella out of the stand and stared at it with a devilish look on her face. Holding it in one hand, she took calm steps towards her bedroom, her expressions calming down as well but her eyes reflected a much sinister glow in them.

Yui laid the umbrella on the floor and headed towards her drawers, taking out a sharp object which somewhat glistered under the light. It was an old rusted knife with the Devil's symbol carved on the blade. But it wasn't just an ordinary knife for it belonged to one of the ancient Medieval tribes that worshipped the Lord of Underworld and his followers. Yui had stolen it from Nagisa's father's study room last time when she visited her. To use it for her ruin made the girl smile wickedly.
