Immortal heart [1.6]
I cradle the package in my arms. I still don't understand what this is about.
Rose
(it's my first time boarding a train like this. I even have my own compartment for the overnight trip.)
Rose
(still... if this will enabled me to find Ray, I can't hesitate.)
I Walk around the train, wondering what to do. I must have looked lost because two men eventually approach me.
Alto
Hey there. First time on a train?
Alto
You had that look about you. Pretty fancy isn't?
Rose
Yes... to be honest, I don't know how I should spend my time. I'm just here on an errand.
Alto
Well, if you want, you can join us for dinner.😄
Alto
come on. Help a friend in need?
I observe the two men. They are good looking in different ways. The man named Alto looks friendly, but the other one has a cool air of nobility about him.
He must have been notice me staring at him. He turns his attention at me.
Luchino
you're welcome to join us, miss...?
Luchino
It's nice to meet you, Ms. Rose. I'm Luchino and this one is Alto.
He beckons me to follow them and we head over to the dining car.
Alto
So, Rose, what kind of errand are you on? your boss must be really wealthy to send someone on an errand in a train like this.
Rose
oh... it's just a delivery request. He asked me to bring something to the destination.
Luchino
Also, ist rude to intrude on her business like that. Not to mention your familiarity.
Rose
Oh, it's okay. I'm not really comfortable with formalities.
Luchino
I see. in that case, I'll also call you Rose.😊
He smiles at me professionally. My heart skips a beat.
Rose
(what's wrong with me...? it feels like I'm sitting Infront of an celebrity or an important politician...)
Rose
W...what about you two? why are you here?
Alto
We're looking for some people. Bad guys.
Luchino
There are rumors about members of a dangerous organization being on this train. We have some business with them.
Alto
It would really help if you can tell us if you find anyone suspicious.
Rose
Are you sure you should trust me?
Alto
Why not? you don't look dangerous to me.
Luchino
it's not logical, but Alto has a good instinct. Besides, if you were suspicious, you would have agreed to help us right away.
Rose
(they're a little strange. But they don't seem so bad...)
I Walk back to my compartment and noticed a door leading to a new area.
Rose
An observatory... Come to think of it, I used to watched the constellations with Ray before...
Feeling a sense of nostalgia, I head out to the observatory. The cold air feels nice against my skin.
Rose
it's a beautiful night. I can see the stars very clearly...
I allow myself to be enraptured by the stars and a shapes that appear on the sky. Canis Major. Cassiopeia...
As I utter the name, I thought I heard a low voice saying the same thing. I see someone pass by me by the corner of my eye.
I turn around to see a young man heading back to the train passage.
The young man keeps walking and I chase after him.
I stumble after the young man, but he is too fast.
Rose
(Those features... if Ray have grown up to that age, he'd look just like that!)
Rose
is that you? it's me! Rose!
As the young man turns to the corner, I accidentally stumble and fall at the floor.
Voice: ... don't worry about me.
I quickly stand up and rush to the turn, but there is no one there.
Rose
There's nobody here... was it just my imaginations?
I sit on my small bed and ponder over my encounter with the mysterious young man.
Rose
(Ray being here in this very same train... is it too good to be true?)
I hear a soft knock outside my compartment.
Rose
Is that the conductor?
Still a feeling of being an absent-minded, I open the door. I my arm being yanked roughly.
There two men standing outside my compartment.
The angry-looking older man grips my amr tightly while the younger one simply stand at the sidelines.
Rose
(That person... He's the I met earlier?!)
Rose
You're hurting me! let go!
Paul
If you don't want to get hurt, give us the recipe now!
Paul
It must have been completed, hasn't it?
Rose
R...recipe? I don't know what you're talking about!
Paul
Shut up! stop playing dumb and hand it over!
Rose
(What in the world is he talking about??)
Rose
(But if don't do something, I might get hurt! this man doesn't look like he's playing around!)
Rose
I swear, I have no idea what your talking about! I'm just an ordinary passenger.
Paul
Stop lying! we know you have it!
Raven
Are we certain about the Intel?
Paul
He'll, of course! the Intel's always accurate!
The boys eyes narrow at me and I flich, not knowing how to react at this young man who is about my brothers age.
Rose
I... I really can't help you. I'm sorry!
I attempt to slam the door, but the suddenly kicks it open, toppling me to the floor.
Paul
You want to do this the hard way, huh?
Rose
(He's going to hit me...!)
The two men in black quickly swing around.
Alto and Luchino appear. And they look angry.
Rose
(What in the world is going on?!)
