Well, uh, this is my first story and I think it's okay...and stuff....please read and review because otherwise I'll think it's rubbish.
Oh...and this is SasuSaku, and it's an AU so if you don't like that pairing or you don't like AU's then don't read it...
unforgiving numbness
The sky was bright blue, an innocent backdrop for the scene, not overpowering, just mild and naive. A warm orange sun was at the side, the jewel of the setting, a mere accessory. Tall, wise trees were dotted around, bent into strange shapes, surrounded by apple green grass. In the healthy green grass were flowers, of every kind; almost like sweets of every flavour in a stall of pick 'n' mix at the cinema. A light breeze blew through the scene, making everything sway.
When did this scene stop comforting me?
When did I stop desiring this?
When did I become disturbed by this?
I remember when it began. It was a warm, summer afternoon. The sun was heavy in the sky, the street looking sun kissed and beautiful. My schoolbag; a hello kitty messenger bag hung across my shoulders as I ran home. Why was I so eager? Because my Mother and Father had come home for once - back from the business trips and the foreignness.
Running through the door, I waited for the warm aroma of cooking dinner or the kind, happy feeling of my parents comforting embrace. I didn't receive either though; but I did receive something, the sound of the phone ringing. Walking over, I casually picked it up and said "Hello". The person on the other end sounded sick, like they needed to talk to a doctor. "Hello, Sakura-san....go upstairs. Into fathers study." Automatically, I thought 'no'. Father always told me not to go into his study.
Slowly, I wandered up the stairs, the sound of a slow current of trickling water trickling down each window; it was raining. It took me the time of reaching the landing before I realized it wasn't raining, and the noise wasn't even coming from the window. It was coming from Father's study. Running over, I threw open the door and saw exactly what I didn't want to see.
Blood, crimson and thick everywhere. Everything was covered in it, apart from me. Me and the figure in the corner. That monster at the side, laughing cruelly. The monster from the phone. The sick, sick man who'd done this. "Little Sakura-san, with no one to run to." He offered a hand.
What I felt was indescribable, horrifying. A disgusted hatred, waiting to come unleashed, dancing in my guts. What if he'd gotten to everyone else? What if I'd suddenly become the last of my family, the last Haruno? Then I screamed, like never before. "YOU MONSTER! WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU? I...I HATE YOU" things blacked out.
Five years after that moment, I was sat in my bedroom. I'd had to move house because I couldn't afford to live like that. No money was coming in after...after there was no one bringing money in. I'd moved school, not wanting any unwanted attention. It was getting late, 12:30 am, so I changed into my pyjamas and climbed under my warm sheets.
I awoke at about 2:00am, to the sound of my phone ringing. Wandering through the door, I began to search for the ringing device. Then it hit me, like a slap across my pale face; I don't own a phone. Never needed one, it's not like I have anyone to talk to...
Well, theres chapter 1. If you don't like this then, uh, please tell me...but please don't yell at me. Might do more chapters...
