Hidden Beauty
SORRY!
I was having a bad time with bits of happiness. It's been like 2-3 weeks, maybe? So I'm really sorry.
I finally used a hair straightener. Never had to b4 cuz my hair was naturally straight till I kept tying it in messed up ways! XP
Family is in a bad mood. Our Dell Laptop, Netbook, Tablet & X-box was stolen. We found out at around midnight.
I slept at 2.45am that day.
Tests are up next week too! X' (. We also got yelled at by a stupid teacher for no reason. Yep, a life full of rainbows :L
Anyway, here is chappie 3!
~Recap~
After I ran to the hospital, I walked in and was instantly greeted by the feelings of grief, sadness and death. I never liked the hospital, it always was depressing. I walked to his room and knocked on his door. I heard a faint 'come in' and entered. "Guess who?" I asked trying to be cheerful.
"Amu!" He smiled as I hugged him.
"How are you, Kukai-nii?"
"Same as always, how's home?"
"Err…good." We started talking and I noticed he found it hard to talk but tried to hide it. I also saw he was paler.
"Kukai, Tell me truthfully. What's wrong?" I ordered. His eyes went sad as he told me what the doctor had told him. I felt my heart sink, I couldn't move as the tears streamed down my face. Kukai hugged me and tried consoling me but I couldn't hear his words. I stayed with him the entire day. He tried to cheer me up but it was hopeless. When it was time for me to leave He handed me a white envelope. "Don't lose it, it's important." I nodded and clutched the letter tightly, crumpling it slightly. "Why is it so important?" I asked.
"It's from mother."
~Amu's P.o.v~
I walked back home slowly, the letter still clutched tightly in my hand. It was dark and the only sources of light were the dim street lights.
I walked as if I was in a daze, tear stains left on my cheek. My eyes were puffy and had turned a light pink colour showing that they were sore.
I reached the mansion and clambered up, the letter still safe in my grasp. After I climbed in through my window I collapsed on the bed. I couldn't cry no more, my tears had run out. I had a slight headache and my tummy started to rumble.
I hid the letter behind the photo on my desk and pick-locked my door. I crept slowly downstairs and made my way to the kitchen. As I passed the main room I spotted my step sisters and Suki talking to an unknown man.
The lights were dim in the room so I couldn't see his face. He was clad in a black suit and shoes. He also wore dark shades hiding his face.
I hid and started to listen to them. "Did you understand? I want that girl dead before… Tomorrow morning. Can you do it?" Suki asked a poisonous smile on her face.
"I didn't know Tsumugu had another child. The task shall be done and its pay?" He asked an evil grin appearing on his face.
"You shall get it after you've done the job!" She snapped.
MY heart sank. 'The witch is trying to kill me! I need to run.' I thought and I raced to my room as quietly as possible and packed (or shoved) my things in a bag. I remembered the letter and quickly scanned the room for the photo. I hastily grabbed the photo and threw it in the bag as well. I then carefully dropped it out the window before clambering onto the window sill myself.
My door was suddenly flung open, colliding with the wall, producing a loud bang to be heard. Both Suki and the man ran in and spotted me.
The man heard a sharp knife in his hand which was glowing in the moonlight. Suki lunged for me and grabbed my wrist, her long nails piercing my delicate skin. I screamed in pain as I shoved her backwards and jumped out the window.
I landed with a thud and got up ignoring my pain, in both my legs and my wrist. I grabbed the bag and started a mad dash through the dark empty streets.
I was, for once, grateful my hair was dyed black since it helped me merge into the darkness. I kept running and I could hear their frantic steps following me. I saw a low wall and scrambled on to it. I saw them running towards my direction, but jumped off onto the other side, before they saw me.
I turned a few times before stopping at a dark street with a broken street light, which would flash on and off every few seconds. The whole street was empty and a foul stench surrounded the area. I gingerly walked over to an alley way where a big dumpster sat, hidden by the darkness around it. This was the source of the foul-stench.
I took a deep breath and sat down behind it. I hugged my legs whilst laying my head on my knees. I then used one of my hands to clutch my head as a severe headache came up. Footsteps and angry murmurs echoed around the deserted alleyways and my heart pounded in my ears. Small tears grew at the corner of my eyes, but I wiped them off before they fell.
After a while, no noise was heard except for the constant beating of my heart and heavy breathing. I sat there for a few moments longer to make sure they had gone.
Snow silently started to fall, making me shiver and my body feel numb. I shakily stood up but stumbled and crashed onto the floor, where a shattered beer bottle impaled my foot. I bit my cheek to stop me from screaming and stood up ignoring the agonising pain which had shot through my body.
My green contacts were still on and my clothes were all filthy. I wore a black and purple striped top with a sleeveless black cardigan and black belt on top of them both and matching three quarter leggings. I also wore a pair of trainers.
I limped out of the alley, lost and alone. I wandered around, the light of the moon and an occasional street lamp, lighting up my path. An excruciating pain came from my foot causing me to collapse on the road clutching it. Two lights were headed towards me but I could not move. I heard a horn beep. Soon after pain was what I felt and darkness was all I saw...
Once again I'm sorry for keeping you lot waiting. You may have to wait more now since our tests are next week and I probably will have no time.
