Secrets
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hikari stood on the balcony of the apartment she shared with Taichi, gazing at the stars. She wished she could tell someone about her secret, but no, it was too dangerous, he might hurt or even kill her. She shivered, as the night was growing cold, and walked through the sliding glass door into the warmth of her apartment.
Her bare feet padded towards the bathroom, stepping in a warm, red liquid on the way. She looked down, and what she saw made her tremble.
"Blood…" Hikari murmured. There seemed to be a trail leading in the general direction of Taichi's bedroom. She followed it, trembling, fearing the worst. She stopped at the threshold of the room, frozen in shock at what she saw.
