Miku Hatsune sat on a wall.
It was a huge and towering brick wall that stretched out endlessly to either side. Sitting on the edge that rested above the clouds, Miku Hatsune looked out, enjoying the view which only she could see. She doesn't remember how she got up on that wall. She doesn't know for how long she's been there. Has it been a couple of days, weeks, years, an eternity? With the endlessly passing time, it's become harder and harder to tell. She also doesn't know how to get down. But she does know that falling off would kill her.
And so, Miku Hatsune holds on for dear life, grasping on to the expanse of brick on both sides of her. The bricks dig deep into her fingers, cutting the frail and vulnerable skin. Blood flows through her fingers; it's a sticky red mess. But the blood blends unseen into to the thick red brick and she no longer feels the pain. It's become a natural sensation. Under the endless blue sky, her pale legs kick against the wall, bouncing back and forth, up and down, keeping a rhythm that no one else hears. Her long teal hair, bound up in flowing twin tails lifts and sways with the breeze. Looking out onto the endless expanse before her, a smile grows and takes over her face. She is happy there. There above the clouds, she can't help but think that anything is possible. Up there on the wall, the impossibly blue sky looks so close, close enough to touch.
Maybe she can?
Slowly letting go of the wall, her fingers creak and tense at the unfamiliar movement. Wincing at the slight dashes of new pain, she reaches her arms out. Against the blowing breeze, the wounds on her hands sting but somehow, a sense of boundless freedom takes hold. Laughter bubbles through her and explodes with unprecedented force through her lips, echoing joyfully into the silent air. Spreading her arms wide, she welcomes the feeling wholeheartedly. Oh what a wonderful feeling it is! Leaning back ever so slightly, her twin tails drape down behind her. Nothing can hurt her now!
Except….except….a sudden burst of wind slams against her. Knocking all the air out of her body, her body tips back. The backs of her knees scrap against the merciless brick. Pleading with the distant sky, her hands desperately shoot out; nothing takes hold.
The sky escapes her fingertips and so….
Miku Hatsune has fallen off the wall.
Honestly though, was there anything else to be expected?
As she falls, she had to wonder: why was she up there on that wall anyways? Closing her eyes, she thinks back to the world she lived in before residing on the wall.
"Dumb whore!"
"Hey, look, it's that slut, Miku!"
"Didn't she sleep with the entire football team?"
"I heard she…."
Ah….that's right. So that 's why…..
A sigh pushes through her lips. She knew the wall was dangerously high. She knew one day she could fall. But she stayed up there netherless. Anything would be better than staying down there.
Snapping her eyes open, she watches the wall fly farther and farther from her grasp. The sight causes a sudden panic takes hold, it hammers through her entire being, paralyzing it still. Desperately, painfully, she reaches up, screaming, "COME BACK!" But no one hears her. Did she even say it out loud to begin with? Stupid girl. And so, she watches the wall float higher and higher away, forever evading her grasp.
Miku Hatsune struggled, uselessly. Back to the wall was all she wanted. Was that too much to ask for? Was it a selfish desire after all?
But then again, which way was up? Which way was down? Wait...could it be...She no longer knew! Twirling and tumbling in an endless space, her arms pointlessly flap, trying to grab onto something, anything. Her twin tails fly around her, it's a swirl of teal.
Hey…Did the wolf finally gobble her whole? Did she get lost in the woods? Did she prick her finger on a spindle? Does anyone know? Could someone please tell her?
A clue? A hint? Anything!
Fear threatens to consume her whole. The darkness closes in on her. In a space where nothing is clear, it threatens to suffocate her. Lost in its inky depths, Miku Hatsune slowly loses herself.
Please.
Please.
PLEASE!
"MAKE IT STOP!" she begs. Her words echo in the undefined space, assaulting her ears. She brings her hands up to her ears, hoping to block the pitiful voice. But the sound impales through, stabbing her heart repeatedly, without end.
In the light where she isn't welcomed, no one hears the pitiful words that attack her so. In that world, her words are no longer important. As if anyone would care about the unimportant trash that stains their 'perfect' world.
They're all looking up, watching and staring without a single glint of concern.
All the king's horses and all the king's men. All of her old friends and the people that had loved her, once upon a time. Didn't they know that Humpty couldn't be put back together again? But that's right – this is none of their concern, or so they claim.
Miku Hatsune begs to reach the ground. It no longer matters if it's the end. As long as it stops. Anything to make it stop!
ANYTHINGMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPPLEASEPLEASEMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOP
MAKE. IT. STOP!
There in the murky depths, she sees a flash, a blur. A delusion, certainly. The ground is so dreadfully close. Surely, it's as unforgiving as the wall that left her?
Miku Hatsune braces for the point of impact, the intensity of shattering. Spreading her body out, she waits for gravity to slam her into the ground. It will finally end. After this, her suffering will finally end, won't it? Closing her eyes, she gladly excepts her deadly fate.
Instead….instead….she feels warmth. Big hands. Warm hands. A solid chest that protects her so. The end? Creaking her eyes open, a flood of light invades her sight. Squinting against the unbelievable brightness, she searches for the source. Has she been welcomed into the light at last?
A golden blob floats above her. The sun? No. A head….?
Azure eyes. Somehow, they seem bluer than the sky. Looking down at her, they reflect an emotion unknown to her. Could it actually be….concern?
Lips open and close. A gentle voice rings. The beautiful sound brings tears to her eyes and they silently fall, creating wet trails down her cheeks.
She was heard? Without the wall? That's an impossible feat, surely….Such a thing could never happen!
Impossible! Impossible!
Yet….yet…. there she was.
Miku Hatsune was inches above the ground in one piece. Gripping onto the shoulders of an unknown boy, her legs swing back and forth, up and down. There in those arms, she felt….safe?
An unexpected end. Miku Hatsune lived "happily ever after" after all. No. Maybe not. The wall is forever out of her reach. She will never be able to sit upon it once again. But weirdly enough, for some unexplainable reason, she no longer cared.
From above, a gentle smile shines down at her. Big hands, warm hands hold her safe and tight. Azure eyes that are impossibly bluer than the sky. Could it be? Was she still, somehow,
Important?
Hi everyone! Welcome! Welcome!
Yeah, so I took a tiny break from The Tainted World and wrote up this little one-shot. I've been a little down in the dumps recently and writing this actually cheered me up a bit lol. It's actually developed and improved from a one-one shot I wrote a while back for fairy tales. I hope you all liked it! I'll also try and update The Tainted World soon as well! It should be ready in a day or two I would think. Thank you for reading!
Love, Sunset
P.S. Sunset loves to read reviews (good or bad)^^
EDIT: Would you guys like me to make this a two-shot? Thinking out it now, I could probably write out Len's POV. Anyone interested?
