Hiwatari Delusion
It was the dead of night in a cold dark room. A peak of light shone from a tiny lamp on the table covering a quarter of the room in light, the corners dark. The lamp was on a small rotten dressing table. Next to the table was a small bed made from sacks of sand. A blanket was thrown over the sacks to make it fairly comfortable with a torn ragged blanket on top. Beside the bed was a small birdcage. A travelling bag overflowing with clothes was the only sign of life, aside from the half lit lamp.
A slow and eerie music started. "Round little horsies. Go, go round." A woman's voice spoke deadly quiet from the centre of the room from the poor excuse of a bed. "You behave don't you?" She spoke. "You go round." A head emerged from the blanket followed by the upper torso. Glazed eyes looked over at the cage next to her. The figure was a thin bony girl with long flowing black hair. She was dressed in a white nightgown, clean, regardless of where she lay. She moved her face up to the cage. "Horsies go round. Why won't you sing?" She held a small merry-go-round in her hand. Her body came out from the blankets as she wrapped herself around the cage, the merry-go-round forgotten on her bed. "Please sing for me." She pleaded. "Sing…sing…why won't you sing?" She cried quietly.
A dull thud echoed as the door to the room swung open. She looked at the newcomer for a brief moment then looked back at the cage. "Come on birdie. Sing…sing for me…" She tapped the side. "I'll give you a seed if you sing." She tried to bargain. The newcomer looked down at her. He thought she was pitiful. So was everyone in this place. Pitiful and delusional.
He grew tired of her trying to convince the bird to sing and stepped to her. He picked her up gently. As pathetic as she was he felt sorry for her. It wasn't her fault she was here. "Chia…it won't sing." He told her. She stared up at him with watery chocolate eyes.
"Why won't birdie sing?" She asked looking down and rocking her head miserably. He rolled his eyes.
"Chia…you need to feed the bird if you want it to sing." He said softly. She looked at him and lowered her head confusedly.
"What do you mean?" She asked. He put her down on the bed. Ever since she had come to Biovolt she'd been miserable. It was when she was tortured that she had slowly been driven mad. He felt a pull on his trouser leg and looked at her, his trance broken instantly. "What do you mean?" She repeated tilting her head further over. He squatted next to her and moved her face to an upright position.
"If you want the bird to sing to you Chi you need to keep it alive." He whispered opening the cage and handing the bird to her. She turned the bird round in her hand.
"Birdie said its bye-byes? And I weren't here to say bye-bye." She said tilting her head. She looked down at the bird's corpse. "I want it to sing. I want it to sing to me." She told him. He nodded.
"You're being let out of here." He told her. "You're going back to your brother. He has a new home that he wants you to live in with him. You're leaving here." He hugged her and noticed she was still staring sullenly at the bird. He took it out of her hand. "I'll buy you a new one before you leave if you promise to feed it." He said softly. She turned her chocolate eyes to him, tilted her head and smiled.
"I get to leave?" She questioned. He smiled cheerfully. "I gete nodded. to go to Kai's new home?" He nodded and stroked her neck. "I'm free." She said, moving her head to the other side and looking at the crumpled bird now in his hand. He sighed and picked up her bag and the strewed belongings.
"You deserve to get your freedom Chia. What your grandfather put you through here is unforgivable. But he's gone now." He said, quietly zipping her bag up. She was rolling on her bed.
"I'm free. Chia's coming home Kai. I ain't going to annoy you no more. I can look after me self." She laughed angelically. He bit his lip. She was going to be a lot of trouble.
