But I had noticed, yes I noticed the pain that slashed through her face, but being the independent woman she was, she carefully cloaked it and continued playing the game with the rest of the girls. Her back was turned to me in her attempts to ignore my harsh smile, which grew in size as I felt my confidence sore within me, encouraging me to keep going, to keep pushing until I felt satisfied with myself…
Hoisting my lithe form I swaggered casually up to the group of females who had stopped playing upon observing my sudden movement from the tree all but one made a comment of happiness about me joining in their fun. I released my harsh smile, replacing it with a genuine one as I stood calmly next to Usagi, Makoto and Rei were directly opposite me. Now I could really show everyone my new emotion that I had acquired…
My mouth twitched and immediately my mask was replenished over my face, I felt my confidence brimming, wanting a release, wanting to unleash its potential upon the one who was currently exchanging a few words with the alias of Sailor Jupiter and also the one who possessed the object for which the game was being played with.
"Come on! Everyone is here let's get started!" Usagi cried, jumping impatiently from her spot in the circle, I bent my knees slightly preparing myself to move at any sign of the plastic circle flying towards me.
"Catch Usagi-chan!" laughed Makoto as she gently guided the frisbee on a straight path into Usagi's smooth hands, catching it like she was told to, Usagi gave an enthusiastic thumbs up to Mako-chan before sending the frisbee towards Mina-chan. However her pathway wasn't as accurate as Mako-chan's had been so Minako had to run out of the circle to retrieve the stray disk but she laughed sympathetically at Usagi's horrified face as she apologised profusely to the red bow wearing girl.
Minako scanned the circle picking out who should have the amusement of running after the light weight disk next, her playful blue eyes met my icy blue ones and grinning she flung the frisbee my way but its path was higher than she anticipated and her mouth hung open to offer to go get the fly away material but she abruptly closed it as she watched my knees bending further and straightening in one smooth motion as I propelled my body upwards, my fingers wrapping around the moving object, immediately stopping its course and descending gracefully back down to the grassy field my summer dress pooling around my legs as it acted like a parachute. Standing coolly, not waiting for anyone to say anything I swung my arm out and the frisbee flew towards the talented cook.
Her trained hand easily caught the plastic and she flashed me an impressive smile,
"Have you been working out Ami-chan?" she called as she launched the disk back at me. Smirking I caught it again, if she wanted to challenge me then she would get a surprise. Instead of throwing it back to the poised Mako-chan, I pivoted targets to the girl next to her, who was currently thinking about something other than the heated game inside the circle,
"Heads up Rei-chan!" I called quickly but she was too deep in thought and all four of us who were on earth braced ourselves as the frisbee collided with the bridge of Rei's nose with a loud "smack". Rei's eyes sprang open as the nerves on her nose conveyed the sensation of pain to her brain, her hand swiftly pressed against her red nose as tears brimmed heavily around her eyes as she looked at me before turning on her heel and running away.
"Rei-chan! Wait!" I yelled at her retreating form but she did not stop, Mako-chan looked apologetically at me before she too sprinted away after her distressed girlfriend. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I experienced the familiar sensation of my eyes burning with prickling tears behind them, I had to get out of here, I couldn't let myself break in front of anyone, no one must know. I clenched my searing eyes closed and whirled in the opposite direction from which the other two girls had ran and bolted off into a secluded part of the park, ignoring the worried calls of Usagi and Minako. I needed to get away, to be alone, to be myself…
Wind whipped around my body as I ran, snapping at my heels as I fell, tumbling to the grassy padded ground, my head tucked into my body to protect it from being struck. I lay there, there sprawled out on my back in the grass, gasping once again. I felt my insides burning up from the exercise I keep forcing upon myself. Droplets slipped down from my cheeks, I exhaled loudly as I realised that I was in fact crying again and that it wasn't the rain creating the dampness on my cheeks. I pulled myself up and crawled pathetically towards the bank to stare into the water. I wonder if she would be here…my face peeked timidly from the grass onto the water and sure enough there she was. The same harsh smile, malicious cold eyes that pierced right through my heart, as I knew that my façade was crumbling beneath her gaze.
"I can't do this!" I shrieked at her, my small form shuddering as it was racked with sobs, "I can't…"
To make her happy you must be happy…
"I know!" I spat, "I know I know I know!!" I thumped the ground next to me in time with my speech, "But I hurt her, I hurt her today, I…I don't want to hurt her!" tears scorched my eyes as they fell into the water, disturbing it, the ripples grew and grew until they too merged back with the calm surface of the body of water…
Her face became distorted with all the ripples my tears were causing and I failed to notice that her ghostly hand stretched towards me, gripping my dress firmly as I was yanked into her cold depths. The blazing coldness attacked my exposed skin, setting it alight as her ghostly hand wrapped itself around my neck, squeezing slowly emptying my body of the little oxygen it still clung onto.
You must show her you don't care about her…
Her voice was echoing all round me as I was spinning, totally submerged by her power; I was rendered helpless as I could not breathe nor could I reply to her painful words.
How do you ever expect her to look at you in any other way than a child if you cannot even protect yourself?
I was struggling against her grip, my body convulsing due to the lack of oxygen in my brain, I was fighting with everything I had left in me, while she continued her onslaught.
Look at you, your weak, pathetic, and useless! Her voice was rising, her words bit at my heart piercing it ruthlessly but I was becoming light headed, her voice was now blissfully fading away quietly but not before her final statement rang out around my suspended body…
Rei will never love you the way you are right now!
And I was released from her grip at last as I floated lifelessly to the surface of 'happiness'…
