When I pretend,
Everything
is what I want it to be,
I looked exactly like what you always
wanted to see,
When I pretend,
I can't forget about the
criminal I am,
Stealing second after second just cause I know I
can,
But I can't pretend that this is the way, it'll stay, I'm
just,
(Trying to bend the truth)
I can't pretend I'm who you
want me to be so I'm,

Chapter Two - Devil's Wings
-Normal POV-
"Umm… Are you sure this' okay Tidus?"
"Of course!"
Sora sighed weakly, leaning his weight on Tidus, who tried his hardest not to fall, as he walked down the stairs, out of the hospital. They gained very odd glances from the hospital staff and other patients. But Tidus just kept smirking like there would be no tomorrow. Sora shook his head weakly- how could someone be so… so… so arrogant and cocky?
"Oh, c'mon Sora! Don't look so sad!" Tidus said, widely grinning all of the time, "Someone would maybe start to suspect something!"
Sora chuckled faintly, and frowned, "Like what? You're trying to kidnap me?"
"Well, something like that…" Tidus laughed, and scratched back of his head, with his free hand, which wasn't tied around Sora's waist.
"Don't say it, I don't even wanna know." Replied Sora solemnly, before the blonde even had a turn to open his mouth.
They were already standing at the exit of the building. Large glass doors slid open, and Tidus walked out, Sora clinging on him. Once again… Another stairs down, before they were safe distance away from the death white building.
"Finally… Finally I got outta there!" Tidus sighed happily, "…If I'd know escaping from there would be this easy, I swear, I'd left months ago!"
Sora just smiled slightly, and looked down… Where to now?
"Hmm… Looks like we need to get a ride…"
I wish it all would be that easy… Sora looked at Tidus, who was turning his head around, trying to search taxi with his eyes. I… I have no kind of idea what to do next…
"Can you stand by your own for a while?" Tidus asked suddenly, and Sora snapped out of his thought. He blinked few times, before nodding his head firmly, and taking his hand away from Tidus' shoulders. The blonde boy winked, before spinning around, and running to a yellow car nearby them.
Sora stared after the other man… He wondered what were memories like… Were they nice? Did they hurt? Did he… even want to remember? And what if there wasn't anything to remember? What if he wasn't supposed to remember? What if something happened, and he was supposed to forget it all? Too many questions, so little time.
Tidus waved his hand to the car, and yelled something to the driver. How could Sora be so sure that he could trust Tidus? But he didn't have any other choice, now had he? The brunette man shook his head, and stared at his (Tidus') worn-out trainers.
"Hey, Sora! Come over here!" Tidus waved his hand to Sora, who started to approach the blonde, even though he still didn't trust his feet wholly.
When Sora reached the car, Tidus opened the backdoor, and shoved Sora in, "Go in."
"Ride." Tidus ordered the driver, as he jumped in after Sora, accidentally landing right on top of the younger male, who was lying all over the backseat. The brunette hissed in pain, as Tidus sat on his whole weight on top of his back.
"Damn… Tidus… Get… Off… Can't… Breathe…"
"Oh, sorry Sora!" Tidus said happily, as he lifted his body from the other man, and slammed the door close. As Sora tried to switch his position, the car started to move, and he ended up falling on the floor of the car, which caused Tidus to collapse on the seat.
"Haha, this' pretty troublesome." Tidus snickered to Sora, who tried to get up from the small place, between front-seat and the backseats.
"I'm… Sorry…" He huffed, as he, somehow, managed to sit next to Tidus. He leaned his back on the seat, and tilted his head backwards, inhaling a deep breath. Then he turned to look at the blonde, as he suddenly realized something, "…Where are we going, by the way?"
"Hmm? I didn't tell you?" Tidus laughed goofily, "We're going to your house, of course!"
Sora's eyes widened, and he grabbed Tidus' collar, starting to shake the blonde man, "WHAT? YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE! HOWHOWHOWHOW?"
"Egh… Chill out, Sora." Tidus laughed, as he pushed Sora back to sitting position and straightened his T-shirt. "I found your address and all from your wallet."
The brown-haired man, once again, attacked to Tidus' collar, "Where did you get it? My wallet! Give it BACK!"
Tidus murmured something, and searched through his pockets, before handing Sora a black and plain wallet. The said one snatched it from the blonde's hand, and retreated to the farthest corner of the car.
"How did you get this?"
"Well…" Tidus laughed, "I… I kind of searched through your clothes while you were in coma…"
"And why did you that for?" Sora let out a frustrated cry, as he hugged his poor wallet.
"Eh…hehehe… Maybe it would be better if I wouldn't tell…"
Sora lifted his eyebrow, giving the blonde man very suspicious glance, before slowly opening the black wallet. Inside, was a picture… of someone… Silver-haired man. Sora eyed the photograph, feeling odd twitch in his stomach. Whoever was that man, who was staring back at him, with those amazing aqua-colored eyes, he just had to find out. The looks of that man… It made Sora feel like he was supposed to remember, but he just couldn't get deep enough into his mind to recognize him.
The brunette frowned, as he kept staring the photograph. So familiar, yet so unfamiliar. That amazingly sexy… errm… handsome man, made his brains work so hard that soon he felt a shocking pain pierce through his head. He groaned slightly, and slammed his hands to his forehead.
"Are you okay?" Tidus asked, as Sora bowed his head.
"Ah, yeah! It was nothing!" The brunette replied quickly. The pain had faded as suddenly as it came.
He looked back at the picture. But as long as he kept his eyes locked at the mysterious man, throbbing in the back of his head became harder and harder. It was just like you would have known something, but then forgot what you were about to say. Fucking annoying…
Sora pout-frowned, and started to search through the insides of the wallet. There was some money and cards… But, where did Tidus get his address?
"Umm… Here's nothing where you could…"
"Oh, look again." Tidus said, and took one of the cards. He showed it to Sora… It was his ID-card! Sora's expression brightened and he took the card away from the blonde. After glancing it for a while, his eyes widened.
"WHAT?" Sora yelled, and turned the card, so Tidus could see it, "I'm 18 years old! Whaat! I thought I was merely 15 or 16, but 18! Nonononoo!"
"Really!" Tidus grinned happily, as he looked at Sora's birthday written on the card, "Wow! You're not too young for me after all! Oops, I mean… That's great you're an adult! I can take you to a bar, or to a nightclub or something! Haha-hehe…"
Sora blinked innocently. Tidus' mouth fell open. Could someone be so naive and not understand what he had just slipped? Oh well, it's not like Tidus would have cared if Sora found out that… H-hold on a sec! Tidus was straight! Straight as a… as a road… What? That was a bad example? Well, whatever.
"I don't get you Tidus…" Sora snickered slightly, "You keep giggling and slamming yourself. Is there something wrong?"
"Uhh… No, nothing." Replied the blonde, "Am I giggling to myself? Man, that's scary."
"You bet it is."
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
-Sora's POV-
After a long ride, we finally stopped. I wonder why Tidus keep giggling and hitting himself? Maybe he's crazy, and that's why nurses didn't want to let him leave the hospital?
"C'mon Sora!"
I nod my head, and jump out of the taxi, which drove away, right after I closed the door.
"Big." Tidus stated simply, looking something in front of him. I slowly turned my head towards the direction he was staring, and I felt my eyes widening to the size of plates. The house was… huge. Could this be the right address?
I blinked, and rubbed my eyes few times, before I really believed what I saw. What, am I some kind of millionaire? No, I mean really! It's not normal for someone to own a house like this! There's pool and all… I really must have enjoyed my life back then.
"What are we waiting for!" I said to Tidus happily, before taking his hand, and starting to yank him towards a large gate.
"W-wait! Are you sure this' your house!"
"Of course I'm not!"
But when we get to the gate, and tried to open it… It was locked. DAAAMN! I sighed heavily and shook my head.
"What are we going to do now!" I asked, frustrated.
"Umm…" Tidus mumbled awkwardly. I shot a dirty glare towards him and put my hands to my hips.
"Do you have it? Since you were groping my clothes, maybe you stole it too!"
"Wait, I wasn't interested in your clothes! I was trying to search for your boxers!" Tidus replied, and slapped his hand in front of his mouth… But too late. That little pervert… I balled my fists, and looked down, as I feel blood rising to my cheekbones. Eeww, I mean EEEWW. How someone be so… eeww…
"You… You perverted bastard!" I snapped and before I could stop myself, my reddish handprint was prettily covering Tidus' right cheek.
"Oww… That hurt." The blonde said, while rubbing his cheek. I don't want to sound sadistic, but the scene looked pretty amusing. "What you're laughing at!"
"Oh… No, nothing!" I replied quickly, biting back the laugh, which tried to cross my lips, "So, do you have it, you pervert sicko?"
"O-oi… I'm hurt… But, yeah, I have it." Tidus muttered and threw a small key to me. I smiled to the shining silver thing in my hands, before pushing it into the gate's lock and turning it around. Loud 'click' marked that the lock was open, and I pushed the heavy gate open.
I stepped into the yard. It was… Well- big. There was a long road to a large house, which resembled more a palace than a normal peoples house. Green fields surrounded the white house, here and there were some bush ornaments, or whatever they call those. Large pool, filled with fresh water, was covering the 2/10 of the yard's area… It all was more like a dream, than real.
…But even if I had just stepped into my dreamworld… It just didn't feel like home. But then again, how did I know what it felt like to be in home? Did it felt like every step you take becomes harder and harder, before you want to turn around and run away? Is it supposed to feel like you're walking in an endless dream, where you can't ever wake up?
I highly doubt that.
"Hmm? Sora?"
I turn my head around and see Tidus' concerned face. I just have to curve my lips upwards, as I try to convince Tidus that nothing's wrong. Since, really… He knows too well that nothing is right.
"What is it?" I grin widely, "Let's go! I race you to the door!"
"Hah, like you could win!"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Inside of the house was even worse than outside. It was all so… artificial. Marble floor, and tall pillars. Empty halls and endless corridors. Faceless portraits and ugly paintings. Death plants and stopped grandfather clocks. It was all so unreal. Like this all was supposed to be beautiful and make this place feel like home, but it only made this place resemble a hell.
No, not really. It was all so wonderful. Really it was. It just, for some weird reason, made me feel so cold. Those shadowed corners felt like swallowing all of the light. And those plants weren't really dead- they just looked so lifeless against the pale white walls.
"Hey, come here Sora!" Tidus shouted from somewhere. His voice echoed through the empty rooms, so it was pretty hard to locate his position.
"I'm here- In the living room!"
I gave last glance to a landscape… It was a picture of sunset… But somehow, it wasn't like the other paintings. This painting… It made my heart warmer. Those other just left empty feeling, after looking at them. Strange, huh?
"I'm coming!" I shouted to Tidus, as I started to approach the direction, where I supposed the living room was.
And eventually, after getting lost like… thousand time, I found my way to living room. Tidus' eyes were glimmering, as he stared a large plasma television, and all sorts of consoles beneath it. I lifted my eyebrow and folded my arms.
"This' freakin' awesome!" Tidus said in ecstasy, as he hugged the TV, "It's been a while, since I've last even saw this kind of TV… Or Playstation… Ohh, how I've missed thee!"
"I can't believe you." I laughed, as I turned around to go back to adventure through the house, but all of my movement stopped as I saw a bookself, which was filled with pictures and photoalbums.
I took few steps closer. There were few framed pictures. I saw myself and that mysterious and handsome man in all of those. His arms were tied around my neck, or around my waist in every picture. We were so close to each other…
I snatched a photo-album from the self, and opened it. First there was a picture of that strange blonde man, who I met in the hospital… Cloud, or something.
Then there was a picture of an old church. It was strange photograph. I gently took it from the album and folded it into my pocket. Something deep inside of me told me, that I'd need that picture someday.
I flipped to the next page, and I nearly made a famous nosebleed. It was he again. Without a shirt. I gasped, and touched the photo… That muscular body… Oh god… Sunlight was shining to the man's silver hair, making it shine like a halo. Beautiful… No… It was beyond beautiful!
Before I really made that nosebleed, I tore my eyes of the picture, and eyed the next pic. No… Again that shirtless silver-haired man… How long I'll be able to take this? This time his back was facing the camera… He had a large tattoo covering his whole back- Black devil wings, and black heart, with crown on top of it. It was cool.
I turned the page, and my mouth dropped open.
Once again, there was that mysterious and dead sexy man, but this time not alone. I was with him… I was leaning my back on a railing of an old bridge, while the man was leaning down towards me. Our lips were nearly touching, and our hands were clamped tightly to each other. My eyes were half-lidded, and pink color painted my cheeks.
I shut the photo-album quickly, my cheeks quickly reddening. Am I gay? Well, if my boyfriend is that good looking, I just have to be gay! Oh my god… I've learned so much of myself today.
"Did you find something interesting?" Tidus asked from the sofa. I jumped to my feet, and shoved the album back to its place.
"Noo… Just… checking stuff… and… haha…" I turned around, and leaned my back on the bookshelf. Tidus shouldn't see that… He would maybe… Stop helping me. Yeah, that's right! I can't risk what we have now!
"Oh, okay…" Tidus said absently, as he stared the large screen of the TV, "Could you get something to eat, Sora? I'm pretty hungry."
"Sure!" I answered happily, and started to run towards the kitchen… Or, where I assumed the kitchen would be.
Did I really live in this house? And if I did, how I ever was able to find anything? I wonder if that silver-haired man lived with me? And, where is he know? Does he know I was in coma? Or if he knew, does he know that, I already have woke up from it? Or maybe he doesn't care? Aargh, I'm thinking too much again!
I sigh, as I (somehow) found the kitchen, behind a large dining room. Wait, that table had nearly 20 seats…? Wow, I guess if I lived here with that mysterious man, we either had much of maids or relatives.
I yank the fridge's door open. It's empty. There's absolutely nothing, but some ice in the corners of the big refrigerator. I slam the door close and mumble some curse words.
Then I head to the shelf, but alas, they're empty too. Absolutely nothingness is surrounding in the kitchen. Really, it looks more like there would be no one living in this house. Well, in fact, there really wasn't.
I took the phone and telephone directory. I searched pizza hut's number, and started to dial the digits to the phone, until I noticed that the lines were dead. I groaned in frustration and threw the stupid phone across the room, hard against a wall.
I noticed a white door in the end of the room. Maybe that was some kind of freezer or cold room? Well, I should give it a try.
With quick paces I walked to the door and tore it open. It was cold, and dark, as I stepped in. My teeth clattered against each other, while I searched for a light switch.
The door closed behind my back, making me jump. Then I snickered slightly… It was only a door. It's not like there would be any ghosts or something… Even if this house was spooky, no ghosts or anything like that even existed.
Finally… The switch. The light filled the room, revealing what was inside…
I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out. I took few staggering step backwards, and fell on my back. My mouth was open, into a silent scream, as I tried to tear my eyes off from the horrible sight in front of me.
There were dead corpses… Their heads were pierced with a big hook, which were hanging from the ceiling. Their mouths were open, just like mine… Into a silent, horrified scream, which never came. Their eyes were blank, and their bodies pale, and covered with blood.
And the smell… Smell of blood lingered in the room, making me want to puke.
I tried to close my mouth and eyes, but neither of them obeyed my commands. Those frozen bodies, which were hanging from the ceiling… They were just so… No! This wasn't real! No, nothing like this could ever happen! Why would there be more than ten peoples in a cold room, hanging from their heads?
I looked around the room. The walls were covered with blood, and bloody handprints. There was also text, written with blood.
I looked down, and finally I managed to scream. This was enough… No more… Oh god, please no more!
There were… Heads… No bodies, just heads, covered with blood and ice.
"AAIEEAAAAAAAHH!" I screamed on top of my lungs, as I stumbled to my feet. I turned around, and tried to push the door open… But it didn't open… Few helpless tears came from the corners of my eyes. Oh god, please save me! "TIDUUUUS! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
My heart jumped, as something touched my leg. A scream, which nearly broke my eardrums, came from my lips, as I kicked the air. I couldn't look back, I just couldn't… whatever was there, I didn't want to see. This was all too much… No… No more… I… Please, someone come to help me!
"TIDUUS! HELP ME!"
I felt something touch my leg again, this time snaking around it. I continued to scream my lungs out, as I tried to kick my right foot free from whatever was there. Oh my god… Oh my god… Take a deep breath…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Something cold touched my stomach, and I just had to look down. Oh, how I wish I wouldn't have done that.
There was a pale man, clearly moving with his last strength. His body was covered with blood, and there was more than twenty daggers stabbed to his back. He breathed heavily, as he pulled me down with his weight. I couldn't fight back- I was too deeply shocked. All I could do… was scream.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
A/N: Umm… Well… What do you think? Review, please, if you want to see what happens to Sora. Sorry if there's even more grammar mistakes than usual... I'm pretty tired right now. Oh well, I hope that you understand what I meant, and forgive me.
