"..Bracelet..."
...!
The bracelet's appearance matched the one that Rage had given to Meredith. Ooh this situation was really bad for Rage as he would soon fall into the trance-like state that Meredith had once fallen into. Fear leaked into his whole body, his hand shaking as the bracelet latched itself onto Rage. Now, he was stronger physically than Meredith so the bracelet had to take its stronger effects. A small jolt of lightning was sent up Rage's body and pretty much weakened him. His last words before the power of the bracelet took over him was.
"Meredith... crap... sorry..."
His eyes turned gray and he just stood there, like a zombie.

Meredith jerked back when a small spark came from the bracelet. Her first instinct was to apologize profusely to Rage and question the Windkeeps as to why in the hell the bracelet would do such a thing. However, she remained calm, if not a bit perturbed, and asked, "Rage? Are you okay?"

"..."
That was a question that the trance-like Rage could not reply to. His mind was a blur and he could not feel anything. He felt... cold, like a machine on the inside. He could not answer this question.
"..."

Meredith was a little worried now. Rage hadn't said anything, he only gazed forward, his eyes unmoving. She shook the boy's shoulders and with a cry, asked, "Rage, answer me! Did that spark hurt you?"

"It hurt me."
Those words came out monotonous, no feeling evident in the voice whatsoever. Rage was now an empty vessel. If only Meredith knew what she had done.

A swell of relief filled Meredith, so much so that she didn't even notice the monotonous way Rage had answered the question. Instead, she became preoccupied with fixing there dinner that she said, "You said you were sorry? What are sorry for?" Her back was turned to the boy and as she began rummaging through the picnic basket, kept her hearing tuned in to him.

"Watashi..."
Rage managed to wake up on the inside and now he was fighting his own image for control over his body. Or, more likely, fighting the power of the bracelet. His emotions returned, but he could not control what he said or thought. Tears fell from his eyes, which closed and his mouth opened. Slightly. Rage couldn't control himself anymore, he lifted his hand up to pry off the bracelet, but he could torn back to the ground. He growled, and then he answered in a sad voice.
"M-M-Meredith... I-I used that bracelet to find out something I wanted to know.. such as this bracelet,... that one sends out vibes to your mind and causes you to tell the truth to the person... or any question asked... I wanted to know... if... it was... a.. .. lie..."
Rage pretty much ran out of energy and his body fell from extreme exhaustion.

Meredith turned back around, a plate of salad in her hands. What she didn't expect to see was a standing Rage, struggling, appearing to fight internally with himself. She dropped the platter and rose to get closer to the boy. At first she tried to get him to stop, but then he began speaking. She listened to every word he said, thinking it might be a clue as to what was causing him such pain.
It hit her then. The night she had passed out. It was the same night Rage gave her the bracelet; the one which was know hanging around her wrist. She remember that night very well. The painful throbbing and his sweet smiles; all lies. He had used her to find out what? ...if... it was... a.. .. lie... If what was a lie? She stood now, a small casing of ice enclosing her heart.
"If what was a lie, Rage?"

He could feel Meredith getting really really pissed off. He just smiled softly while his body was on the ground, laying there. He could spare a few words before he passed out. Before he became... alone again.
"To find out... if the love... was true.. or... ...fake... once again... before you hate me... sorry..."
His eyes closed and he lost all forms of conciousness.

Meredith stood atop the quiet hill, her dinner partner unconscious and her dinner getting cold. A chilling wind blew past her, causing her garments and hair to flitter about. She stared at Rage Asakura, the boy whom she loved. Had ONCE loved. No longer. She felt herself spiraling down into an abyss of sorrow, confusion and most of all, anger. When things finally clicked into place, all she could feel was that anger. That infitine hatred for the boy who lay sleeping on the ground. When she looked at his face all she could see was a liar.
Her muscles tensed and ached, screaming to let out all of her angression. She supressed for all of a minute after Rage had fallen out of consciousness. When a minute and one second came around, she could feel her foot rising behind her and come crashing into Rage's face. Again. Again. Move. Lift. Chest. Again. Again. All that was left was the blood which smeared over his face . Meredith heaved breaths in and out. It wasn't good enough.
He prodded you. He lied to you. He lied. She bent over the picnic basket and took out a spare fork. She raised it menacingly over his things and stabbed both, forcing her very anger into the wounds. She wept now, looking at the mutilated figure of Rage Asakura. Wept for the love he'd shown her, wept for the warmth he'd given her, wept for the pain she caused him. Then she sent him rolling down the hill where the two had sat for dinner only moments ago. She watched him start slowly, rolling side over side down the semi-steep incline of the hill. He picked up speed and began rolling toward the North Woods.
Meredith wrapped her arms around her in a bitter, lonely brace against the cold. She watched as Rage's slumping form roll steadily down the hill. She watched as his body came to a sickening stop at the base of a tree, the thud audible from even high atop the hill. She watched to see if he would get up, if he would still be beside her, holding her. She wiped her tears, her face hardening once more. She looked at Rage and dared him to get up, to be beside her, holding her. When the seconds passed into minutes, she knew it was all real. Everything had happened. She spat on the ground and gathered up her wasted dinner. She dumped everything ceremoniously into the basket. It didn't matter anymore. She would burn it anyway. With one final look back to the broke Rage, she unclasped the bracelet which hung limply on wrist placed that too into the basket, to burn.

One Day Later
"Who the hell is this?"
Three students were around the now bloodied body of Rage, they just stared at him with disgusted faces. They just looked at each other, stopped talking, and turned back to Rage. Rage's eyes opened for a short time, a blurred vision of the three students was the only visible thing. In a weak voice, in a sad tone, he spoke once more, before his life would be erased.
"Meredith.."
He closed his eyes and the three students just started poking Rage with twigs. At least before they started the bleeding again. Together, they carried him to the infirmary.
I'm... sorry...
