Can you see me now?
Can you see me now?
All this weeping in the air
Who can tell where it will fall?
Through floating forests in the air
'Cross the rolling open sea
I open my eyes. The foggy scene turns to a crystal-clear floor as I begin to get up and walk. Off in the distance are floating objects that appear to have plant life growing on them. The walk begins off smoothly, until a strangled cry sounds off in the distance, on one of the floating islands. That's when things start to get hairy. A huge drop of liquid, which I at first assumed was rain, falls onto the clear walkway and it turns into a raging sea. More, smaller drops fall and I am forced to put my abilities as a ninja to use. I hop from place to place as a drop of the liquid stuff catches me in the mouth. It's...salty? Then it clicks in my mind: they are tears. A quiet voice begins speaking to me. 'Go to the island. You will find her there..' Her? So a girl's the center of it all. I smirk and set off towards the island.
Blow a kiss, I run through air
Leave the past, find nowhere
Floating forests in the air
Clowns all around you
Once I reach a certain point, my feet begin to walk on thin air. I pick up my pace and pictures start floating around me. Okaa-chan, Itachi, the Massacre, they all play in little screens to both sides of me. I struggle to keep my composure as I speed up even more, reaching the island in record time. The only issue? When I step through the trees its pure darkness. Until... "AAAIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!" A ear-shattering scream reaches me, and the worst of it all falls on me like a boulder.
Clowns that only let you know
Where you let your senses go
Clowns all around you
It's a cross I need to bear
Beings with big red shoes, multi-colored hair, and unspeakably horrifying faces start staggering like zombies to me in hordes by the thousands! They grab my limbs and start screaming like banshees, threatening to tear me apart at any moment. Even though I'm an Uchiha, I was scared out of my (sharp) wits. I saw a bright light in the distance and it was getting closer every second until it stopped, just out of reach. There she was; a girl huddled in a corner wall made of bricks, eyes squeezed shut and crying uncontrollably. Why was she crying if she was safe? I was the one about to get torn apart!
All this black and cruel despair
This is an emergency
Don't you hide your eyes from me
Open them and see me now
The darkness must've been starting to do things to me, because I screamed "Don't keep your eyes closed! OPEN THEM, DAMMIT! See me, I need help!" I kept screaming, like I did in every repeat of this dream, but didn't expect a response. I usually woke up right before one of those things could kill me. This time though, I was wrong. She visibly tensed, and slowly but surely opened her eyes. They looked straight at me with violet intensity, and the whole scene faded away to nothing but a wisp of a memory.
Can you see me now?
Can you see me now?
We were in a bright room(?) that continued forever. She began walking toward me and then stood a couple inches away, only coming up to my chin. She looked at me with big doe eyes, and said to me these words:
"Can you see?"
Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see...
So, do you guys like? The song is "Clowns" by t.A.T.u.! Don't worry, it will all make sense later on. I will be posting more chapters soon! ^_^
