Chapter 2: Meet Loneliness
As they explored the where abouts, Mari felt a cold chill. She suddenly stopped, and fell to the ground.
Kanna saw her and asked, "What's wrong, Mari?", and when Mari didn't answer, Kanna suddenly stopped Macchi, and told her to help Mari. Macchi sensed something was wrong, so she told Kanna not to do anything while she gets Hao-sama.
Kanna didn't do anything, since Macchi has sixth sense.
While, inside of Mari was hurting so much. Mari didn't know what caused the pain, but it was hurting her.
It was almost eating Mari away till she couldn't feel anymore life.
Darkness was flowing in.
He was trying to get Mari to give up, but that was hard.
Mari didn't give up, cause she heard people coming.
So, if only he could get at Mari somewhere alone, he could do it.
So Darkness stopped right now.
"Mari! What's wrong?" Hao said.
"Mari! Wake up! You can do it! Come on! Mari!" Hao shouted.
Kanna and Macchi stared in shock.
They have never, never seen Hao-sama yell. It was kind of surprising for them, since this was the first time they've seen Hao-sama shout.
"Mari! Wake up! You can escape it! Have hope! MARI!" Hao yelled.
Huh? Whe-where is Mari?
"Mari!"
There was someone shouting for her. But who?
Mari's so confused.
Where is Mari at?
Where's Kanna and Macchi? And Hao?
Why is this place filled with moans and screams.
Mari is so scared.
"MARI!"
There's the shout again.
Who's calling for Mari?
Mari doesn't like it.
It's so dark and remembering.
Mari doesn't want to remember!
Too scary! Mari closed her eyes.
She wanted to see the bright and colorful village again.
Where was it?
Mari can't remember!
She wants to remember the village instead of that dark, dark, cold place.
Mari could feel the chill.
Mari wants to leave to the village!
OH NO!
Mari remembers!
Mari doesn't want to!
Go away!
As the scary dark thing came closer at Mari, she suddenly screamed.
"!"
"What's wrong Mari? Mari? MARI?" Hao yelled.
Everybody in the village came running over since they heard someone scream.
"What's wrong?" What happened?" Did something happen?" everyone said at the same time.
'Mari doesn't want to be here! How did Mari get here anyways? I want to go home!'
"You don't have a home."
Of course Mari has a home! Hao even gave her one!
"He lied. He never even wanted you to come. He just wanted to use you."
'Use Mari? He didn't want Mari in the first place? Then why did he bring me to the village?'
"Because he wanted to use you. You, Mari, have great power, power to bring the whole world to doom. If only you didn't go with him. You should've stayed in the place you were before."
'Is that true? Mari's confused. No one loves me. Mari's all alone again. All, everything was fake. Nothing was real. Everybody hates Mari. Mari's alone. Mari doesn't have anything, anyone to love her. Even Chuck...Chuck ... Eveyone. . . '
"Mari! Wake up! don't believe it! It's telling lies! If you believe him, you'll disappear! You'll never be able to see happiness! I really, wanted you to be happy! Please! Come back! MARI!" Hao yelled.
"MARI!" 'Someone, someone's calling for Mari. Why? Mari's lonely. Mari belongs with no one. No one even wants me. So, why? Why is someone calling for Mari? Mari's never even felt happiness before. So why? Mari doesn't understand. Mari's upset and lonely. Mari wants to go back to the village! Where Kanna and Macchi and Hao and other people are. Mari wants to go back! Mari doesn't want to be here.'
"You can't. He's just calling you back, for your power. He's lying. No one even wanted you from the beginning. Remember how everybody thrashed you around? They bruised you and didn't even care if you started bleeding. Remember? They left you alone, making you starve, be locked up, in dark places? Remember?"
'Mari, Mari doesn't want to remember! Let Mari go!'
"Remember? How everyone abandoned you? They lied to you, and didn't even care. They left you all alone and abandoned. They never even cared about you. So why start? Don't. Even if you do start, you'll still be alone. They'll abandon you when they're done getting at the world. Don't trust them. The beautiful village was just a trick to get at you. He really only wants your power. Never trust anyone anymore. You've gone through enough pain already."
'Mari doesn't know. She's lonely. No one cares for Mari. Mari will always be alone. Mari wants to leave from this world. No one cares for Mari. So why does Mari want to stay? Mari wants to leave this world. No one would care. She'll always be lonely and sad. Mari rather would leave this world!'
"Don't Mari! If you do, you'll still never be loved! Just hang in there! We'll save you! Don't worry! You'll be safe! And don't trust him! He's trying to use your power for himself! If you give up, everything in this world will be dark!" Hao yelled.
"Yeah Mari! Don't give up! We'll protect you! So don't give up yet! We promise to find a way to save you!" Macchi and Kanna yelled.
Soon, Mari heard a lot of "Don't give up!" Have hope!" Stay in there!" Don't leave this world!" If you don't give up, you'll see brightness again!".
'Who's that? Mari doesn't know. Where's Chuck? Chuck! Where are you? Chuck?'
"Chuck's right here! Mari! Please! Just wake up! you'll get away from it! If you just hope! Wish for something! Have Hope! MARI!" Hao yelled loudly.
Everyone was as surprised as Kanna and Macchi when they first heard Hao-sama yell.
Anyways, what happened to Mari?
Why?
Was she alone befroe Hao-sama found her?
Also, what happened?
Oh well, they still need to bring Yoh-sama here!
'Mari doesn't understand? Is Mari supposed to? Mari wants to go back... go back. . . go . . back.'
As Mari suddenly opened her eyes, she saw everybody looking at her.
"Thank god you're okay!" Macchi said.
"Yup, cause Hao-sama was worried. At least you're okay. Let's go tell Hao-sama now." Kanna told Mari.
"Mari wants to come too. Can she?" Mari asked.
"Sure!" Macchi said happily.
They walked to Hao's room and knocked.
"Come in." Hao replied.
"Hao-sama, Mari's awake. She's her with us, too!" Macchi said happily.
As they walked in, Mari inspected the room.
It was way different from hers. Hao's bed was red, sheets orange, pillow and blankets yellow. The walls and floors were a bright green, while there was blue paintings, purple furniture, and indigo things.
"Um, Mari is better, thank you for helping me." Mari said to Hao.
"Well, I'm glad. You had me worried for a while, cause I couldn't hear the things thoughts. Except for yours. And Mari, don't ever think about dark things. Okay? That way you won't be like what you were earlier. And I'm not using you. You're my family. Everyone at this village is. And I want to protect them, not let them feel pain, like you did. If you ever feel any pain coming, quickly come to me. I'll try to find a way to help you." Hao explained to Mari.
I was so close! Only if that guy didn't come and help her. I need to find a way so that I can win again this time and make Darkness lose. After all, Loneliness is the greatest power! And that guy, I must get rid of him. No one else will know how to help her. So only if I could get rid of him...
So, did you like it? Was it good? Which character do you like? Who do you want to win? Darkness or Loneliness? Sorry for asking so much questions, but I'm really curious! Of what you think of this story! And the characters! Give me your reviews!
