Irise Delegnere (ALIVE'S Book 3)

by Faulina Arif

  Aria wanted to scream, cursing Evan with any harsh words. But she doesn’t know why but her voice can't come out from her throat and when Evan closing his head toward her, and kissing her neck softly, Aria felt that she was sucked inside there. His tender and warm lips barely made Aria from losing control.

  Heart beat, breath, and Aria's blood rippled through her blood vessel, as if it was screaming calling Evan's name. Aria can’t deny it, between a hatred that was growing inside her heart, she truly enjoyed Evan's warm body that was embracing her tightly.

  "I wanted you, Aria. For myself. I really wanted you to be mine." Evan whispered with soft voice near Aria ear.

  Aria's nape hair risen and that comfortable sensation disturbing her, but Aria tried to holding out, not showing any feeling of interest toward Evan. Aria tried warn herself if that man is not only fooling her but also wanted to capture her. Yes, Evan is no more than a cunning man and deceiver.

  "Be gone you dog!!" Said Aria in cold voice tone.

  Evan was understand what that word meant. He is no more than a dog from organization which was ordered to capture the woman he really loves. Evan can only smiled when dealing with Aria cold attitude that he thinks was natural. And no matter how Aria tried to hide that, Evan could read an anxiety from that woman when he seducing her with his soft touch.

  "You . . . "

  Aria fell silent and her word was cut suddenly when Evan presumptuously brushed his lips into Aria ear. Biting her ear softly and reminding Aria with what happened at that night. That comfortable sensation that for a long time she didn’t felt, and now Aria seemed want to need it back.

  Evan stared at Aria for a moment.

  They looked at each other in silence and Aria could see, Evan dark eye blazing up a hunger toward her well being.

  Yes, Evan desire was surged. Only a fool of a man that ignoring a beautiful woman that pinched below their bodies, in their arms without feeling tempted.

  Evan head bowed and before Aria could guess what he wanted, Evan deep kissing her, he was yearning her so much that it could torture him all the time.

  At first Aria wanted to refuse, but a great and comfortable sensation flooding her minds and she answering Evan's kiss. She sucking Evan lips, making Evan becoming more spirited and kissing her with more lust.

  Evan right hand moving through Aria arm till her neck. He touched Aria hair softly and caressing her ear. His lips kissing Aria till her neck with greed.

  Aria could feel Evan lust that was seen clearly by her eyes. But a little voice in her mind warned her if this was not what she need even though her body wanted it.

  Exactly when Evan lips nearly kissing her breast that slightly visible through a gap from her clothes, Aria immediately take that chance to kick Evan stomach with her knee as strong as she can.

  Evan which was losing his awareness is thrown to the backs till his body nearly hitting a wall. Evan hissed in frustration cause he isn’t fully get what he wants.

  Aria waking up and approaching Evan, trying to stab him with her knife.

  Evan immediately standing up and jumped to the window until he was in Aria's room balcony at the second floor. "Come here sweet heart, come to me! Come on!". Evan making fun of Aria, he still feels annoyed and forcing his smile while saying that word.

  Aria snapped, she followed Evan and jumping to the window. Now she was standing in front of him.

  With fast movement, Aria tries to attack Evan with her knife and at the same time kicking him for several times. But with nimble movement Evan can successfully dodge Aria attack.

  "Only this? I know you can do more than this baby, show me your usual passion baby!" Evan lifting one of his eyebrow while letting out a mocking smile."This is unlike you baby. Ah, I had an idea, I will give you my warmest kiss if you can catch me sweetheart."

  Aria becoming more angry and frustrated. She didn’t believe that she ever let that dirty dog to kiss and seduced her.

  "Ridiculous lover's quarrel . . . " Said a voice.

  Aria and Evan stopped and looked at where that voice originated. Both of their eyes opened wide to see a girl with a rabbit ear sitting comfortably above the balcony wood rail.

  Crossing her right leg above her left leg, Reina let out a cute little smile while looking toward Evan and Aria.

  Evan eyes squinted sharply."What are you doing here?". Evan asked.

  "Keeping an eye of you . . . " Reina answered with a calm and composed attitude."Where do you think master Irfan knows everything?" Reina pointed at her rabbit ears above her head.

  "Fuck!" Evan turned his face away.

  Reina let out a breath of weariness."Did you get that chip?"

  Evan once again surprised. They even know about that?

  "Look." Evan showing a piece of map in his hand.

  "What do you mean by chip?" Aria asking Reina while looking at her sharply full of curiosity.

  This is Aria first time to see a rabbit eared girl with a cute face and normal figure. Hard for her to believe that cute girl is one of many artificial creatures created by that damned organization. In the past Aria only meet with and killed a terrifying creatures, unlike that girl.

  Evan taking a glance toward Aria for a moment."That girl which you was looking is originated from your blood." Said Evan as though he could see Aria interest toward Reina.

  Aria instantly looked at Evan. A light of anger was clearly seen in her eyes."What do you mean by that, dog?!"

  Could she stopped to call me a dog? Evan pleaded inside his mind.

  "Your blood was processed with special method, and then utilized and been mixed to another creature genetic structure as to make a new living creature." Evan answered.

  Aria fell silent while thinking. Is that the reason of why those strange creature was born? My blood is truly cursed. Then how about Evan? Is he really an immortal human, is that also because of my cursed blood?

  "So, a dog like you is also created from my blood?"

  Evan face becoming sour."You think?"

  Reina sighed."This will never ends." Reina standing above the wood rail and turned to the other direction. She looked behind, for a moment she looked at Evan and then smiled toward Aria. "Master Irfan wanted for more interesting and fun games from you."

  "To hell with you all dogs!!" Aria yelled in anger.

  "I'm a rabbit!" Reina waving her hand and shouted loud while jumping from the second floor to the ground.

  After ensuring Reina is gone and far away from them, Evan looked back at Aria."It be best for you to leave this city and no longer fight with organization Aria."

  "A dirty dog like you didn’t have any right to say that to me, I will do what I want to do." Aria answered with cold voice.

  Evan sighed. That woman in front of him is truly hard headed. Nothing Evan could do except to only gave her an offer that he thought for a long time ago.

  "Alright, I will help you but with one condition." Said Evan later.

  Aria looked at Evan full of awareness and suspicion."What do you mean?"

  "If you are willing to be my lover, I will help you to destroy that organization." Evan answered with a serious face than before.

  Aria was surprised enough with Evan's words that she heard. Aria lifted one of her eyebrow and become quiet for a moment. Does this man retarded? How can he say that after he tricking and played with my feeling. I will never be deceived by him ever again.

  Suddenly Aria spit to her left side with disgusted face."I never need a dirty dog as a guardian."

  Is this how she hated me now, Evan thought in his mind. He was truly heartbroken when he hear that word was coming out from Aria sweet mouth which he ever kiss for some times.

  Evan stares at Aria with a deepest sight."Fine then. See you in another chance, sweetheart." Accompanied by his sour smile, Evan running toward the wood rail in the balcony, jumped at it and then he dropped himself to the ground level.

  Aria immediately ran to follow Evan. But when she's at the wooden rail, Evan fig
ure is disappeared with the darkness. What's left is only Aria, covered by an anger, hatred, sadness, and resentment.

  Now everything is clear for Aria. Evan is no more than a scum that only wanted to play around with her. Aria is truly losing someone she think could be trusted. Even if her heart was hurt because of hatred and disappointment that now mixing to be one in her heart, Aria must ignore her feeling to find her true objective and purpose.

  IRISE DELEGNERE

  Reina looking at Evan that now was driving beside her. "How can you love that rude person?" She asked feeling curious.

  Evan quiet for a moment before answering."True, she was rude. But if I think the other way around, I was the same."

  Reina can only quiet. She can’t understand about thing they call love with the opposite sex. Because of that, she had a hard time to understand a reason of why Evan always do many unreasonable things toward that rude woman which Reina always seen as an absurd action.

  "Why do Irfan asked you to observe me?" Evan asked.

  "You could ask that to my master." Reina answered.

  Ask to Irfan? Evan smiled sardonically. Useless, even if I asked, he undoubtedly will lie to me. Evan thought.

  Reina put her index finger at her chin while her eyes is looking at the car ceiling as she thinks."I think . . . Master is only wanted to have fun."

  Evan straighten his shoulders. He agree with Reina. Irfan is always liked and enjoying a game. Irfan will do anything to satisfy his will.

  "Then what are you doing in here? Is this one of Irfan's order?" Evan asked once again.

  "I am worried about you"

  "Eh? Why?"

  This time Reina becoming quiet for a long time. She stares outside the window at her left side while at the same time playing with her rabbit ears before then looked back at Evan while shrugged her shoulders.

  "No clue. But master didn’t want you to be killed."

  Yes, if I died now, the game will not be as interested as before for Irfan. What a hard and insane man he was. Said Evan in his mind.

  Evan sighed."Then, how can you come and arrive at this place?"

  "Riding a sport bike."

  Evan forehead frowned while hearing Reina answer. He know it well how Reina was. It is hard to believe if that girl is following him this far alone with a sport bike.

  "So, where is that sport bike?" Evan becoming curious.

  "It was . . . Fall to the cliff." Said Reina frankly while turned her face to the other direction.

  Evan was completely dazed off."Hah??!!" He yelled spontaneously.

  "Ah, it's fine though. That sport bike is actually that woman's. I slightly feel happy to add more suffering for her." Reina smiled coldly.

  Evan let out a little laugh because he remembering something. "I remember at the time when you driving a car, you make Irfan scared shit till he was vomiting all around inside the car."

  Reina that now was remembered about that event is also laughing.

  "So, how do you observe me all this time?" Suddenly Evan becoming a little curious.

  Utterly different from Sheryl character. Reina is not often talking if she was not asked. Reina was also well mannered while talking to another people and always think before do any action. Sometime Reina sincerity making Evan had a little sympathy. Moreover Evan always feels comfortable when he's talking with Reina. That rabbit eared girl is disliked to mock or insult other people and her attitude is simply too serious. There is one thing she lacked, she can't control any machinery well and was often destroyed it on process. Very much different from her twin sister Sheryl.

  "Sneaking around your house."

  "Then, how can you arrived at my house?" Evan becoming more curious.

  "Of course I'm using a taxi, did you think I was jumped and running around like a ninja?" Said Reina sincerely.

  "Hah?!!" Evan once again surprised and then chuckled.

  "With a hat, the driver will not looked at me with a weird expression." Reina that feels she do the right and smart things, smiled full of pride.

  Evan trying to hold his laugh and takes a deep breath."You can always make me feel better." Said him after his laugh was residing.

  "Is that so?" Answer Reina while looking away, she then glanced at Evan with a faint smile at her cute lips.

  Reina is never hated Evan. As a friend, she liked him. But if Irfan gave her a mission to kill Evan, Even though it is truly regrettable but she didn't have any choice. She must kill him even though that was difficult for her, she will did that without fail. That is her sole purpose in this life, that word is always said by her master Irfan to both of them, Reina and Sheryl.

  Twin Mud's

  For a moment Reyn looked at two women in front of him with an unsure stare. He frowning his forehead and walking back and forth with his left hand at his waist and the other in front of his mouth.

  Both of Marsha eyes following Reyn movement that seemed like it will not stopping. Marsha think Reyn will said something but he was confused as to how saying it. Because of that Marsha still waiting, and the same with Aria.

  Reyn behavior is looked like a teen which was being confessed by two beautiful girls and confused to choose one of them.

  "Big bro!" Marsha called at him while feeling impatient."Big bro!!".

  Reyn stopped and then turns his head toward Marsha.

  "Big bro is doing that for more than 15 minutes." Marsha reminding him.

  Reyn lowering both of his arms and then take a seat at sofa behind him while sighing in weariness.

  "What's in your mind?" Aria asked for an explanation.

  "Our number . . . " Reyn lifted both of his eyebrows while looking at Aria seriously."It is no more than suicide if we break through to that organization with our numbers."

  Marsha fell silent while mused over at Reyn's word.

  It is hard to believe, Faisal that Marsha always look with one eye now becoming one people that Marsha hoped at their sides now. Without him, they were lack of power. Moreover, Marsha can't use any weapon well enough. Shooting with gun make her surprised and trembling in fear. Much different with Aria who was truly good at fighting.

  "I can do it." Said Aria full of conviction.

  Reyn shook his head fast."No, you can't do it alone."

  That is what inside his brain all this time.

  After everything that happened especially their attack at the party and the incident at Reyn workshop, Reyn was sure the organization is increasing their safety guards. And meanwhile at their side only Reyn and Aria that can use a weapon. Marsha is unreliable at this matter. And Reyn can't hand over everything to Aria because she just can't be killed.

  Reyn is remembering with Aria's word at that night beside the river bank. Even though her wound was regenerated very fast, but Aria can still feel pain when she was wounded. Reyn is sure, however strong Aria was, Aria still had a weakness and limits. If they were just hoping and handed all matter to her, they surely will be caught or killed by them.

  "I will not give in with only this kind of problem Reyn." Aria voice was heard calm but clear.

  "I know." Said Reyn with a low voice."But did you remember with those animal eared girls and that giant armored creature? You can’t defeat them alone when they attacking you at the same time, Aria. That will possibly be happened at the future."

  Aria fell silent. She can't deny Reyn words because at her minds she was agreed with Reyn. Those creatures are unusual and moreover truly rare. Defeating one of them is undoubtedly difficult let alone three of them at once. It is possible if there is another creature that was dangerous as them. Aria is also can't ignore Evan or Irfan.

  "I think, Hafiz is not giving all of his information that he got to us. I had no clue, why there is no explanation about those creatures?" Said Marsha.

  "It was possible if those creatures are special. So their existence is made to be a top secret. Please don’t think too badly at Hafiz, Marsha."

  Marsha grumbled feeling annoyed that Reyn is still supporti
ng Hafiz.

  "So, what shall we do then?" Aria asking Reyn.

  Reyn fell silent. He's also confused what to do next. No plan at all in his mind right now. He didn't have a good answer for Aria.

  "I think we can infiltrate their facility once again like before? Sneaking silently and 'BANG!' killing their heads directly." Marsha giving a suggestion.

  "The same action will not be effective as before Marsha. "Reyn explained." Because of our past action, they surely will increase their security and becoming more aware of us. And moreover we are lack of personnel needed for a raid."

  "Not a problem for me, if we want to attack directly. I think, they will prepare everything because they expected and know we will come." Aria added.

  Reyn sighed. He had the same thought with Aria. Be it attacking directly or infiltrating, seems like it was the same. Maybe, it will be better for them to attack directly from the front so they will not be separated and can protect each other.

  "Alright, we will do as you said Aria." Reyn agreed.

  Marsha opened her eyes widely. She didn’t dare to refuse even though a dread covering her soul when she heard that word comes out from Reyn mouth.

  No matter how big those fears inside her minds, Marsha still decide to follow that decision. At her mind crossed the past memories of how horrible Faisal's death was. Marsha didn’t want Reyn to die with the same manner as what Faisal experiencing. Marsha is hoping that she can become more useful for Reyn and even can protect him. If not, she can only hope to always by his side and died together.

  "Let me join in!" A man voice was heard.

  Aria, Reyn and Marsha looked at where that voice was, Zafar was suddenly appeared and standing exactly at Marsha's side.

  "You?? Joined with us?" Marsha let out a mocking laugh."Is your brain damaged? Or is it now changed place in your ass?!"

  Zafar glanced at Marsha for a moment but he decides to just ignore her. He thinks, whatever he do, Marsha will never liked him. Especially after the workshop incident. Zafar was indeed like a fool, drowned in terror till he can’t do anything even though he's a man. If only he was becoming more useful, Faisal will surely not died. Marsha is undoubtedly belittled him and hated him more than before.
