Chapter Two: Eyes of Darkness and Death
He felt really stupid in forgetting his dear friend... but they met once. How is that even possible to know someone you've met for just about twenty minutes?
"Klaus I wish to see you again..." She sighed.
"What are you talking about?" He replied, "I'm right he-"
He came to a halt as he sees the bandages wrapped around her head. No wonder her hair seems a bit... frizzy... He said.
He sits down beside her and he looked at her face. He wishes that it wasn't happening, but to his dismay, half of her face is wrapped in bandages. He felt his heart racing. "Nina... What happened to you?" He asked, "Did someone bruised you bad? Did you hurt yourself? Did yo-"
She carefully touches his lips and then touches his cheek. She turned her head, despite the bandages wrapped around her face. "I'm fine Klaus." She answered calmly, "My eye sight is deteriorating. Don't you remember?"
He wants to know, but sadly... he doesn't. He shook his head.
She smiled a little and then withdraws her hand from his face.
"Just before your parents died, you and I met again."
In the park, the two encountered yet again.
"It's you again." He said. "Nina right?"
She just nod.
"Too shy huh?" He said, "It's fine."
She approaches him and grabs his hand, dragging him away from the park. He didn't do anything and just let her drag him.
By the alley, she lets go and she looked at him.
"You're good in keeping secrets right?"
"Why are yo-"
"I said, are you good in keeping secrets?" Her voice sounds deep and serious. The last time she heard her voice, it was sweet and gentle. He only nod.
She let out a weak smile and hugs him.
"Remember when you saved me when we first met?"
"I do. Why?"
"Do you know?"
"Umm... You didn't know where you're going?"
She lets go and backs away. He tilted his head and blinks.
"Nina...?"
"Mother and father said I could see until I turned fifteen..."
He was a little shocked at first, then later on, he was lost in thought.
"And will die until I reached twenty-three."
He was speechless at first until he said...
"Are you born with some kind of disease?"
She turned around and smiled.
"I deducted all of my guesses until I got the right answer. There are at times people who get to live so short: some lived until their teens or to adulthood, most lived before they reached five." He said, "You... you said that you're going to live until you reached twenty-three correct? From that I can finally point out that you are born with a disease."
"That's really good."
"Though one thing puzzles me..."
"Yes?"
"Couldn't see until you reached fifteen...? I know that you'll be blind... but that's impossible. Most people are born blind..."
"Well... that's a new disease. I'm the first one to have it."
"But you look healthy."
"Not in my blood. Though I'm fine physically, my genes are messed up."
He gave her a blank stare.
"It will take years to find the cure or maybe yet... they won't bother to find the cure."
No given comment from him.
"They should try at least!" She hissed, stomping her foot, "My parents scarified their time in work and money just to help me stay alive longer. What do we get in return? NOTHING!"
She falls to her knees and she starts crying.
"I don't want to die... I don't want to die!" She whined.
He just stared then later on, he approaches and kneels down.
"I'll ask my parents. They would understand. Is it alright?"
She looked at him. "Really...?" She asked softly.
"Yes." He retorted as he wipes away her tears.
A huge blast was heard.
Both looked at the where the sound was heard.
"What was that?" She asked.
His eyes widen.
"NO!"
He quickly gets up and he starts running, leaving her behind.
"You were gone after that."
His face is already wet from the tears he produced. "Mom... dad..." He said weakly.
"Klaus..."
She weakly opens her arms and embraces the man. "You're not alone anymore..." She chirped, burying her face close to his chest to hear his strong heartbeat. She made a few meows and purrs, but they are weak and broken.
He felt his clothes moving and he looks at her. She's like a weak kitten who needs attention. He said. He uses his left to stroke her messy hair while his right embraces her body. He let out a weak smile.
"Well... so are you..." He answered softly as he pulls her close to cuddle her.
I cried a little when I did this, oh man. I'm just too emotional.
I have a feeling that this fan-fic will be done pretty soon two or three more chapters maybe. Gah Dx
But oh well...
Wish I could do a long chapter, but I just don't know how long though...
Though I may have a feeling that the next chapter will be long... It's just a possibility though. Heck, I won't expect it anyway.
