Silence stung the air.

Death grasped at me, prodding me, pulling me…the white hot pain escalated…my hysterical screaming rang in my ears. After awhile, I was not conscious of whether or not I was screaming. I was face down on the tile floor, my blood spread around me. It was a nightmare.

The whole lab was ablaze. It was horrifying. The lab instruments burst and cracked above me, raining glass and strange liquids over my body. I felt the shards stick into my back, like thousands of knives being thrust into my skin. Colors blurred in front of me, swimming, bleeding…

Daddy…

I screamed out for Daddy. Daddy! I couldn't see him. He wasn't anywhere. I dragged myself across the cool floor, crying, screaming, begging for an end. Flames beckoned down on me, the heat radiating across my scorched face. I slumped over, unable to go on, and slowly closed my eyes in tacit defeat.

I felt someone touching my hand, and I opened my eyes to see the dark figure of Daddy leaning over me, tears streaming down his face. He slowly took my body and cradled me in his arms in a weak effort to protect me from the heat and flames.

I could feel death clawing at my breath…I raised my hand and touched Daddy's face lightly. Then the silence took over, and I was suddenly as light as air.

Dreaming is what can be said of this feeling. I felt as if I was being lifted on air. All the pain, all the agony, it left me, released me from it's grasp.

I felt free.

Suddenly, I felt my soul speeding downwards, crashing into the ground, back into my body. The pain came back; dull aches in my sides, my head, and my chest increased their intensity, as if I had been smashed against a wall again and again.

I gasped for air, and opened my eyes lightly to see Daddy standing over me, a mad look in his eyes.

The silent symphony had started.

Author's Notes: Sorry so short! I was just in the mood to write something up rather quickly since I haven't been writing fiction that much lately…Sailorsaturn has become one of my favorite Senshi, so I just had to write a bit of a tribute to her. Let me know how ya like it!
