Archer75: Finally I get to write another fic. I just need to get this out of my head.
Another Shiznat story...hope you enjoy this one.
FATE AND EXISTENCE
Chapter I
I live in a world where everything is divided in two. A place where both ends must never clash. Rich-poor, right-wrong, good-evil, master-slave. Everything has its place and no one is allowed to cross the line. Our life here in Alamaire has been like this for centuries. The Fujino clan ruled our kingdom, their rules were fair and just, and they see to it that everything and everyone follows it, because here in Alamaire, everything has its price, even your life.
I am Kuga Natsuki a loyal servant to the heiress of the Kingdom mistress Fujino Shizuru, and this is my Story...
It all started a century ago...
Just when we started to move I felt something amiss...I look around nothing...there it is again, behind the trees we need to move fast they found us, I know they would eventually but not this fast. I pulled her hand, we ran fast, around the trees over the stiff rocks, we kept running our breaths rugged, our lungs heavy with the lack of air but we don't care we kept running...running for our lives, they're behind us...we can't go back, we have nothing left. There's no use at looking back, I tug her little hand. "Faster Naisha, run faster." She tripped I had no choice but to carry her, I can feel her little body tremble. I need to save her she's the only family I have left, "Listen to me love, no don't cry" I pushed her inside a hallow tree "No matter what happens don't get out and don't make any sound." She pulled my hand but I brush it away "b-but I'm scared don't leave me here". I wanted to pull her close but I have no time, their coming "re-remember when we use to play hide and sick with mama and papa?" I felt a lump in my through when I mention our parents, I gave my sister an assuring smile "you're good at it, they usually find you last. Ju-Just close your eyes, okay don't be afraid, be brave just like what papa said, I'll come back for you." She tried to hold her sob and just nod. I gave her one last kiss before I ran to the opposite direction, I took one last look this time I did not stop my tears I saw her tuck her head and moved even closer inside the tree, I wanted to ran back to her but I know it won't be wise so I ran making sure that whomever is following us would see me taking them as far away from my sister.
She's no longer sure how long she's been running, all she know is she can no longer feel her legs, just a little more its almost dawn. She can still feel them behind her...no wait...a swift wind past through her. She yelps when she felt her legs left the ground.
"Running away won't do you any good sweet love, we're getting tired of this silly game."
She felt her body flew and hit a tree "AHAH!" she coughed out blood, she tried to get up but her arms and legs failed her. She heard her captors laugh, their voices were raspy and thin, she tried to clear her head and tried to make out their faces. Her entire body felt numb she manage to pull her self up using all the strength that's left in her.
"We had fun playing tag with you honey but we're getting tired and we need a refill" they laughed hard again. There were three of them. All three had hay colored hair, blazing red eyes and paper pale skin.
She swallowed hard fighting the darkness that's trying to consume her, her mind drifted off to the other end of the woods, were her sister is, hoping and praying that she is safe.
"Now Rafael what did our father said about playing with our food." The lanky man with long curly hair said.
"Nothing" the he called Rafael answered "he said, enjoy and have FUN!" and they started laughing again.
She can no longer keep her eyes open, maybe it's better this way, there will be no more running, no more fear. So she let the darkness take her... The last thing she remembered hearing was a series of cries and roars that she can't fathom.
She felt cold and wet...Something is...she opened her eyes rain... She pulled herself up, feeling the searing pain all over her body made her realize something "I-I'm...alive" she looked around and saw nothing but trees, then she rushed up and ran when she remembered something "Naisha!" she ran as fast as she could "I'm coming" no matter how many times she slipped and fell she didn't care she needs to get to her fast.
She saw it, the tree. It's where she left her, she rushed and looked inside, she felt her heart pound when she saw nothing inside. She stood up and looked around "NAISHA!" she shouted at the top of her voice. She felt her blood run cold when she saw something not far from where she's standing "No-" she was not even sure if the word left her mouth "No-no-no" she felt her legs moved on its own, moving towards the figure. She wanted to make herself believe that this was all nothing but a nightmare and that she would soon wake up and find herself in their home, with her mom cooking a stew and Naisha and their dad playing outside.
"No" she felt even weaker, she fell beside her sister's little body, pulling her close "Honey your cold...Don't worry I'll keep you warm, I came back see, just like I've promised. You can open your eyes now." She brushed her hair away from her face. "C'mon honey wake up, we can go home now-c'mon". Then... she just let it go...
"HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Present...
"HAAAAAHHHH!" her throat felt dry, and her sweat is cold, her heart pounding hard and her breathing is rugged. An uncontrolled sob left her throat. She touched her chick and felt it wet with tears. A century have passed yet it still felt like it all just happened yesterday, she can still feel the pain. She lost her family in just one night.
She nearly jumped when she felt something touched her shoulder.
"Nightmare my Natsuki?"
"Mistress" She moved out from bed and fell on her one knee. "Fo-forgive me if I disturbed your rest." her voice trembled a little she hasn't pulled herself together just yet, her dream is still so clear in her mind.
"No Natsuki...Is it that dream again?" She said in a gentle voice, she wiped a tear from my chick. I'm not even aware that I'm still crying, my throat hurts, I've been trying hard to hold my sob.
She held out her hand and pulled me up. I just nod to answer her question, still not trusting my voice.
"It's alright, it's over now, and you're safe. Come." She pulled me back to bed, tucked me in like I'm a little kid, I felt my face heat up.
"Mistress-I"
"Shhhh-" she silence me with her finger on my lips "sleep my Natsuki, I'll look after you."
"But- I'm-UUUmmm" I think I just swallowed my tongue. Now even my ears felt hot.
"Now that's better, I always know my kisses are way more effective to shut your pretty little mouth, ney Nat-su-ki? Sleep love we still have few hours before night fall."
She lay beside me and held me close. Not wanting to argue anymore, I close my eyes and tried to catch some more sleep, which surprisingly came even after my nightmare. Only my mistress can make me feel safe after all this years. She's the only reason I have to keep living.
