Cradling arms of death
----
"Where am I?" Tomoyo asked herself as she walked through a long dark hall.
She felt all alone, no voice, no sound. Doors creaked but no one seemed to be around. Gasping for breath due to her tiring run the whole day she sat and tried to remember what she was doing in that place on the first place. She closed her eyes but nothing came out.
"You'll be safe here…" said a drifting voice.
Tomoyo stood up then looked around.
"Excuse me, but do you mind telling me where I am?" she asked.
"Dear, don't tell me you don't know where you are…"
"I'm sorry but I really don't know." Tomoyo asked confused, how come that voice kept on talking without showing himself.
"You drew your own life, that's the reason why you're here…"
Afraid Tomoyo walked fast tripping on a knob fastened on the floor.
'Funny what's a knob doing here this is supposed to be attached on a lumber' she thought. Without thinking twice she opened it.
"Impossible…" she gaped. "That's me…"
It was Tomoyo all the bad things that made her weary, vulnerable and of worthless. Sakura and Tomoyo's boyfriend making out, Eriol, his long time best friend commiting suicide because of her declining for an intimate affair, her mother's death, Shaoran's comforting arms which made her hate Sakura, Sakura and Tomoyo's fight and finally Sakura declaring the whole world that Tomoyo is the worst friend anyone would ever have.
Damn, these things really made Tomoyo's heart suffer.
"Where am I?" she repeated her first question, tears flowed down his face making her uncertain.
"Cradling arms of death…"
"Death?" she questioned closing her eyes.
A vivid picture of her sweet death after spending the night with Shaoran, she went back to her apartment and drank tequila the whole night, she received a morning visit from Eriol who forced an invitation for an intimate affair for that morning but eventually he declined. Eriol explained that Tomoyo meant everything to him and that his decline is his death. Tomoyo hugged and kiss Eriol tight as a sign of apology. The latter walked towards the door, but on his way towards it grabbed the crafting knife on Tomoyo's study desk then strike his chest, smiling sweetly at the girl. So shocked Tomoyo ran after him then called for an ambulance but unfortunately her phone wasn't working. There came a knock on the door. It was Shaoran standing languid on her door. She hugged the latter then told what Eriol did, instead of showing sympathy Shaoran shoved her to bed pinned her but Tomoyo fought grabbed the crafting knife cutting her wrist. She fell on the floor crying. If this is the end, may death cradle me with him. She felt Shaoran gave him a long kiss then everything was all out.
"Tomoyo…" she snapped of her thoughts then saw feet infront of her. She lifted her head then saw the familiar face.
"Eriol…" she embraced the latter as she sobbed.
"In
the arms of the angel
far away from here
from this dark cool
hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled
from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms
of the angel
May you find, some comfort here"
Eriol sang with his irresistible singing voice.
"If it's death's hands I fall. I wish to be with you and that is all…" Tomoyo spoke with her sweet voice as she calmed.
'Oh, how weightless, then maybe I'll find some peace tonight'
