Cloverleaf Episode 10: The Other Side of the Wall


    Cloverleaf
    /ˈklōvərˌlēf/
      a junction of roads intersecting at different levels with connecting sections forming the pattern of a four-leaf clover.


    Log: March 2314

    Her thin arms trembled as she mustered all her strength to be able to hold on to the white rabbit. The group of men looked at her furiously as she stepped back little by little, with her needles still against the neck of her hostage. Not meaning to hurt him in any way after what he has done for her, she only intended to keep him until she was in a safer place where she could escape with ease. Her battered body was threatening to fall at any moment. She could barely hold onto him, and the respondents were closing in.

    Her eyes shifted away when it befell Da Ge, that man called Aster. The last time they were together, he couldn’t even move a finger nor take care of himself and his expression was never that of please. If Mei had not come, she’d have kept him, and made him to live. But he was here now and not as her possession. She knew that if he could, he would take her life with his own hands. She’d die a bittersweet death, and she would not look away from him when his hands wring her neck and squeeze the life out of her. Her aimless thoughts had closed off any threats that they threw at her. She stared blankly as their mouths moved and called out to her but she was unable to hear anything. Stunned and planted in place, the men had started to move towards her, saying incomprehensible things as they prepared their weapons. A spark of electricity came from her very own Da Ge, but she couldn’t hear what they were saying. Did they not care about this white rabbit whom she was holding? She was careless. Thus, she meets her end… but it was not in the hands of these men who wanted to save the white rabbit. It was--

    Only then did the sound came audible to her again as gunshots were fired pass her. It didn’t hit her and didn’t seem like they were even aimed at her. An awfully familiar screeching and hard knocking on the steel walls made her turn her head, but before she could even get a glimpse of which she knew as that escaped creature that looked like an oddly-shaped man, she was ripped away from the white rabbit. The creature grabbed her from her locks and slammed her against the wall, once, then another as it trampled everything in its way. The white rabbit was lucky enough that he had slipped in between the steps of the beast. Finally, the rabbit girl was left aside as the gunshots that were fired distracted the beast, and seemingly delayed it on its way to trampling the respondents. Barely conscious, the only thing the she could see was the blue sparks of electricity about them. It strangely made her feel warm. If only she could see him one last time…




    The silence that lingered in the area after the fires have gone and the beast was put down was haunting. There was barely any light as the circuits broke and the emergency lights only gave a red glow. The white rabbit was given priority and was taken to a safe place so that he could be looked after. On the other hand, the young Trump requested that he take care of the fugitive and even though it was decided that she was taken into custody for trespassing, the rabbit insisted, claiming her to be an enemy to the Brigade as well.

    The boy thought it was the last time he would see her but it seems as though she cannot be easily erased from existence, and their paths would always meet. There was only one thought that crossed him as he knew she would not be a good existence to anyone, especially to those he cared about. But once he turned to look, the other rabbit had already made his way towards her, quite surprisingly, was holding her in his arms. Mei couldn’t, and didn’t want to see the expression he had on his face. And the way he held the girl was so gentle, so careful.

    Da ge, what she so fondly called him. Now it was him who looked at her pained expression as she slept. Far from her thoughts about him back then, the man was simply reminded of forgotten memories of a young rabbit who was lost and abandoned in a forsaken place. That young rabbit was eventually called ‘Mei’, and he was lost no more when he found a family in his presence. A forgotten memory that need not be remembered was recalled—was it because they had the same face, or was it because she, too, was lost?

    The man stood up with the girl in his arms and turned to look at the boy. A confused and infuriated expression turned into an exhausted one as he only sighed and looked away.

    ‘Just like me.’

    The series of events in these artworks is in no way related to the current events of BJBB as they have happened in the past.

    Truth to be told, this is the part where Hen and I decided for this girl to die. She actually came out of nowhere, with Hen’s question: “What if one of Mei’s replicas were alive?” We rp-ed all throughout the whole thing and in the end, she was dying. Me and Hen both couldn’t take it and I wound up drawing my first artwork of her and Aster(This-> fav.me/d6u1zzn ). Which, funny thing—I was supposed to make her kind of fading away, indicating her death but I never did it(because it was hard). And here she is now, alive and kicking! We altered the events so that she’d live and she even made friends with Sven(//sweats)!

    ‘The Other Side of the Wall’ is a chapter from ‘A Little Princess’. The chapter talks about how the Gentleman was looking for Sara and Sara not knowing that they were searching for her. In this case, Faye was “found” by whom she’s always chased after. This piece was a bit challenging as I got carried away and shaded everything before I colored. I’m pretty happy with how the bouncing light turned out but this artwork kinda made me feel down after. Well, the end of this series is nearing and I can’t wait to put them all together!
