I DONT OWN SHUGO CHARA
THE SILENT VIOLIN:
Chapter1- Silence isn't always golden
I had just finished another concert, walking back to my dressing room ignoring the loud noises of the crowd. I loved to play the violin...I just never had the desire to play for others. I stared in the mirror my reflection showing that of a young man. I stared hard at the mirror as if I could wield my image to change.
Funny how when you haven't been on the other side things appear more than they are. Shaking my head I turned, only to find a young girl standing there. I was taken aback for a moment. I studied her appearance golden eyes pink hair that ran down her back ending at her waist.
She came up to a little below my shoulder, and wore a black ballerina style dress. I raised a brow in question, she had yet to speak or move her expression remained that of a bored one. Clearing my throat I spoke, "uh can I help you?" I asked her. She did not speak yet her mouth twitched up into a small smile.
I was a bit lost and frozen by this strange girl, surprising me she began to move closer her smile growing with each step. I moved to take a step back only to hit the desk behind me. In a second she was directly in front of me staring up at me. I stared down eyes locked with her; she reached up and placed her hands on my shoulders.
When she made contact I felt a burning sensation run through me. I gasped out in shock and began to shake in pain. It had felt as if my whole body was on fire, yet I was frozen and could not move to remove her from me. The burning began to grow as if it were reaching a peak I felt as if I were nearly about to pass out. My eyes were beginning to close as I fought to keep them open. That's when I started to slide down to the floor, my back against the desk my whole body burning, my face twisted in agony, yet I was unable to scream or cry out in pain.
She now towered over me her smile not once faltering leaning in slowly she placed a light kiss on my forehead. The burning began to fade as a cool sensation radiated from where she had kissed me. Soon enough my body felt normal as if the burning was never there. She still wore a smile, yet it scared me. What the hell was she? I found myself still unable to speak or make any kind of notice.
To say I was scared would be a lie...In truth I was terrified. Her smile changed to a sad one, "until you learn to be true to yourself you will be cursed. You will not be able to hear the sound you enjoy most. You will be able to play yet never hear the sound of your violin, or any other musical sound. That is until you learn to quit lying to yourself." With that she smiled and disappeared. Once she was gone I fell on the floor no longer to sit, oh dear god I'm going crazy.
I pulled myself together thinking it was all some weird hallucination due to stress. Once home I greeted my sister and went upstairs exhausted I fell face first onto my bed dropping my violin on the side. Soon after I had fallen asleep only to be startled awake by a notice. I sat up and stared around my room, searching for the source that had woken me up. I found nothing I laid my head back down only to once again jump up I had heard giggling.
Looking around again I found nothing, "BOO!" I jumped turning to see that strange girl from my hallucination again. "What the hell!" Ok maybe yelling at something or someone who isn't really there isn't really the best idea. She whatever she was giggled again, "Sorry I was bored, so how are you doing with the whole musically deaf thing." I stared at her and shrugged, "Ugh why does everyone always turn my warnings out to be that there crazy or dreaming?"
She shook her head, "Look if you don't believe me try playing something for yourself." I was tempted to ignore her and go back to sleep but instead I found myself unlatching my violin case. Pulling it out I rosined my bow and got into a ready position. Slowly I began to play a song I knew very well...Only to find no sound had come from my violin.
I studied my violin, "Crap it's broke somehow." I mumbled as I turned it around checking every inch of it. "Nah it's not broke I told you you're now musically deaf until you learn to be true to yourself." I stared at the hallucination Ok this had to be a dream, "Nope not a dream. Oh by the way I'm Amu." She winked and vanished leaving me grabbing at any and every explanation I could. You know that saying silence is golden? Yeah well it's not when you can't hear the one thing that brought you joy!
