Alright, another story! This literally just randomly popped into my head. Mind you it was really late at night and I was trying to go to sleep. I ended up falling asleep after one. But I don't regret it because it's a good story, and I hope you think it's good too. :) So here's the prologue to Hush the Urge to Cry. And I promise the chapters will get longer. And just to warn you, since i'm currently in the process of writing this the updates won't be as frequent and regular and Amulet Fortune

What's going on? Where am I? Why can't I see?

"I see you're awake." said a gravelly voice.

"Who are you? Where am I? Why am I here? How did I get here? Why can't I see!" I heard what I assumed was the man chuckle.

"My my, so many questions." I could feel him smirking. "I might as well tell you." He sighed, as if talking to me was an annoying chore. "I kidnapped you, took you away from your family." I gasped, and he chuckled more. He seemed amused. "You've been my guinea pig. It's so much fun to conduct experiments on you. That's why you're blind. But don't worry, your vision will return to you soon. Then you'll be completely improved. When you can see again you'll be able to see the tiniest detail. You'll have the ability to see things from miles away! I've also enhanced your sense of smell and your hearing. Almost as if you're a dog!" He laughed, amused with himself. "Of course you're much better than a dog. I've also given you the strength of hundreds of men. And you can out run the fastest creature. Even run alongside speeding cars. Of course with barley breaking a sweat."

"W-what?"

"Oh that's not even the best part!" I gasped, and gulped.

"How can it get any worse?"

"Not worse, but better. You also have wings." I grouped at my back, and sure enough, there they were. "It took me a while to decide what type of wings I wanted to give you. I went for a butterfly based style. They turned out to look more like fairy wings thought. Wait until you see how pretty they are."

"When the police find you you're going to be thrown into jail and never allowed out!" he started cracking up, and I got scared. "Why are you laughing!" I shouted.

"They've given up the search! Your family is being stubborn and trying to convince the cops to keep it going. Of course they won't."

"Why not?" My voice was small, and I was on the verge of tears.

No, I will not cry. Especially not in front of him. You're strong Amu, you can handle this.

Again, I could feel the man smirking. It felt evil.

"Pft. Everyone thinks you're dead! Isn't that wonderful?" The sound of his grating laughing faded as I blacked out and fell into oblivion.

I ran through the corridor, his outraged screams echoing behind me. I took turn after turn until finally I could see the stairs at the end of the last long hallway. I could already smell the fresh air, and hear the sound of cars driving by. Something I never thought I'd be happy to hear. But obviously it can't be that easy for me to escape. Escaping from the chains that held me to the wall, and picking the lock to the door of my room was just too easy. The fact that I had easily slipped through the building and been able to remember where each path went was too much of a miracle. Being the klutz I am, I tripped when I was half way down the hall. I could hear his laborious breaths and his pounding feet as he approached. I was frozen. I couldn't move. The fact that the door was right there was just too bittersweet.

I might as well give up now. Obviously I'm not meant to get out of here if I tripped so close to the door, to freedom.

But as I heard his steps right behind me, my instincts took over and I shot up. Only to be caught be the ankle. While I laid on the floor, he had taken advantage and run toward me even quicker; the expectation of victory pushing him forward and giving him a second wind. Quickly I turned onto my back and kicked at him with my other leg with all of my might. His hand slackened as he groaned and I slipped out of his hold. As I scrambled to regain my footing he lunged, and tackled me to the ground, pinning me under his weight.

"I've got you now, bitch!" he grunted. I threw punches at him with everything I had. He was stronger than I thought. Even though it had to hurt like hell he held on. Somehow he had the strength to retaliate, one punch to five of mine. Finally the beating took its toll and I shoved him away with everything I was worth. My breathing slightly labored, I shot up the stairs and burst through the door, gaining my freedom. After erupting through the doorway I didn't stop. I ran and ran until I felt I was a comfortable distance away from my prison. I allowed myself to collapse onto the grass in an all too familiar park. Lying down, I laughed with the purest joy. I had done it. I had finally escaped. After all the agonizing torture I was finally free. I slowly made my way home, brimming with excitement and happiness at the thought of seeing my family again. I could imaging the smiles, and the crying, and the hugs. I would finally have a break. I could finally relax and feel safe.

Reviews are very much appreciated. ^_^

Oh yeah, and I don't own Shugo chara or the characters. Just the story and the evil man.
