Chapter 3: Sorrow Buried In Snow

A cough escaped me while I pulled myself onto land, Destiney behind me. The water was freezing and the land wasn't the warmest placed either. My hair stuck to my face, covering my eyes while the clothes clung tightly to my skin. Suddenly, I was thankful for being a girl that didn't like skirts and not wearing anything white today. Destiny looked the same as me but her hair almost completely made her face vanish under since it was longer. After coughing up some water, I slowly stood up from the ground. She had her hands near her chest, spitting out some water before following my lead.

"Where...are we?" I murmured, my voice a little horse from coughing too much. We were surrounded by pine tress, and the clear blue sky was a bit hard to see because of the branches. How exactly did we even get here? Did the wish do this? I glanced over at Destiney who was hunching a bit over as the wind hit us dead on, causing a shiver to run up my spin.

She moved her hair from her face to look at me. "M-Maybe we should look for somewhere to..." A sneeze cut her sentence off while I hugged myself for warmth.

"N-Not a bad idea."

We started to walk forward, into the forest looking for any sign of life to no avail; the only thing we saw were trees. The wind kept getting stronger as we walked and the air was starting to turn cold. Keeping each other warm was our best option though it made us walk slower. I could feel my clothes frosting over from the icy air. My hair had already frozen in its place, and I couldn't feel my feet anymore. Destiney looked like she was about to fall a sleep but I kept her up. There was no way I could carrier her in this cold. Besides that, she could die if she did.

However, we still pressed on. Soon, snow started to fall and my legs were starting to go numb. The trees were evenly put; there was no way to block from the wind. It seemed as if we were walking in circles but I couldn't stop. I couldn't leave Destiney by herself to try and find help. My body was practically screaming but I had to find a safe place for us. I had to find out where we are. I had to find out what happened at the hospital. I had to find out what it all meant.

The snow started to grow harsher, and the wind began to pick up. I body had stopped shivering from the cold, just as it got colder. We had to shield our faces with our free hands from the snow that turned icy. It wasn't long before my arm started to turn numb and I dropped it to my side. The snow had reached up to my ankles by now and a burning sensation started to form from my feet. However, it didn't feel too sensational after walking more.

I let go of Destiney, who turned towards me, still blocking the snow with her arm. The world started to spin around me before I fell on my knees. She let out a surprised gasp as I gripped the snow tightly in my hands. The burning had move to my ears and my hands. I could see my hands were red and my finger tips were turning to a waxed white. "Enna...?" Her voice was distant but I could hear her faintly. "Enna?" I let go of the snow. "Enna!" My whole body fell into the snow but it didn't stop the burning. Not one bit. "Enna!!" Destiney's yell was the last thing I heard before I fell into darkness.

I don't know how long I was out for after that. All I remember was that heat surrounded me. Not like the burning from before it was like that of a fire or hot water. It actually felt nice. The numbness hadn't subsided from my feet though and the whole body felt heavier than a ton of bricks. I remember the last time I was like this. It was when I placed Flag-Football in grade eleven though at that time I could feel my legs. However, my whole body was tingling. Could it be because of the warmth? Wait what about...

My eyes shot open. "Destiney?!" I sat up, but immediately laid back down as pain overwhelmed my body. My eyes closed from the ache as I groan in pain.

"Circulaþi nu de unul singur dvs, pierdeþi..." A voice said in a teasing tone. It had come from my right but I couldn't even open my eyes. It was a male though; the voice was deep enough to figure that out. "Corpul dvs aproape congelat în întregime când Julia v-a adus dvs aici." I didn't know what language he was speaking. It didn't even sound familiar to me.

Forcing my eyes open, I saw the man's back. He was wearing baggy white pants that were tucked into his black boots which rapped in bandages, though I couldn't imagine why. He was wearing a black sleeveless turtle neck with a grey cloak that fell to his knees. I could see his black leather gloves moving something in front of him and I caught a glimpse of the bandages that stopped a bit past his wrist. The strange thing was that he had dark violet hair. I will admit; it was a nice shade of purple but it wasn't exactly a normal hair color. He turned around and my dark green eyes met with dark purple ones.

I abruptly looked away from him. "I..." A cough escaped my mouth and he walked over to me with a glass of water. I eyed the glass before looking up at him. He laughed a bit shaking his head before setting the glass beside me. Okay, I was really thirsty--- it's the only reason I drank the 'water'. "I-I don't understand what your...saying." My voice was still a little rough.

"Hm?" The man looked down, staring at me for a bit. "Astfel dvs nu vorbiþi Roman la urma urmei..." He said, his voice trailing off before he smiled at me. "Well, I guess that makes it easier than, huh?" The purple haired male winked at me. I was surprised. Not the fact that he winked at me, but that he could speak so fluently in English without any accent attached. I just figured since when he was talking had a different tone in voice.

I coughed again before trying to sit up. "W-Where am...I? W-Where's the girl that was with me? What did you-" I fell back onto the bed in pain and the man quickly walked over to me, with a concerned face.

"Easy there." The man said his voice was a soft as a whisper. "When Dai found you, you were almost frozen all over." He pulled the blanket over me. "It would have been worst if that friend of yours didn't block the snowy ice from you with her body." My eyes widened in shock while he smiled at me. "She was actually in a better condition that you were, sweetheart."

My eyes narrowed at him. "...If your tying to seduce me mister, you're failing."

"Wha..?" The man blinked at me in confusion before bursting into a fit of laughter. I didn't know what was so funny that he had to laugh like that. There was a knock on the door and the man stopped laughing so he could answer. When he opened it, I could see two people about the same high walking it. The wind blew wildly until the violet haired man closed it. "Dai, I have to tell you..." He trailed off, glancing at me before grinning widely. "This girl is perfect!"

...For what exactly?

The person who he had said was Dai, sighed. He was wearing the same identical clothing as the purple haired man. Taking off his hood, it revealed a boy no younger than fourteen with spiky red hair and ruby eyes. Why does everyone have these freaky weird hair colors?! "Dark, you better not have been flirting with her." Dai said, his voice deadpanned and his face clearly didn't like that Dark did.

"Eh? Who me?" The purple haired male said with an innocent look on. It didn't suit him; not one bit. The person beside Dai let out a gasp as they turned to me. Soon, they dropped the bags in their hands and ran over to me. The wind that they created made their hood fly off. Destiney knelt down next to the bed, her face buried in it before she started to cry. A smile appeared on my face and I placed a hand on her head --which was quite the effort-- as the men watched from the other side of the cabin.

After Destiney calmed down, the males started to explain what had happened to me. They had found Destiney covering me while I was out. She was trying her hardest to stay conscious for my sake. As soon as she saw them, she tried to call for help. However, she fell into a sleep just as I did when they came near us. The older purple haired one carried us here and took care of our frozen bodies. I didn't trust the look on his face when he said that but the younger one told me he watched him and made sure he didn't do anything stupid. Destiney turned out to only be out for three days and I was out for six. She was extremely worried about me and tried everything to help me get better or at least wake up.

"My name is Daisuke by the way." The red head smiled kindly at me. "Daisuke Niwa."

The other male took my hand and brought it to his lips, kissing my knuckles gently. "I go by the name of Kaitou Dark but Dark's just fine." He winked at me before the younger boy smack him upside his head. Destiney giggled slightly at the two while I stared at them.

"I'm Ennalesta." I told them, figuring that it was only polite to tell them my name.

Dark opened his mouth but Daisuke shot him a look, making him absentmindedly rub the back of his head. "As for your question before, we're a few miles from Neet."

"...Neet?" I repeated, furrowing my eyebrows. The name sounded familiar but not somewhere in the United States or Canada. I think I've heard it from a game. Did the writers actually base the village off of a really town?

Daisuke looked between me and Destiney. "It's obvious that you aren't from here." He pointed out with a childish smile. "And it's not just because you weren't prepared for the cold weather."

"Your clueless faces are giving it away." The purple haired male stated, pointing a finger at us with a small grin. "Besides that, no one in this continent knows English." He told us, crossing his arms and leaning back in the chair he was sitting in. "So how'd you end up here anyway? With those kinds of clothes as well..." He trailed off.

Destiney and I looked at each other in shock, before I turn back to the males. "U-Uh...well..." I was completely lost for words. When I woke up ---hell, I didn't even think I would-- I didn't think I would have to explain how I got here in the first place. How was I supposed to tell him that my friends took desperate measures to have anime in their life? How was I supposed to tell them my friends killed themselves that way? How was I supposed to tell them one of them was...an Akuma?

"Dark," The red head sitting beside him said softly, making the older male put his chair up right and looked at him. "Miss. Destiney doesn't remember much about the situation, so I don't think that Miss. Ennalesta will." He smiled towards me, causing me to weakly smile back.

Dark looked between the younger boy and me before frowning. "That's all it took for you to smile?" He said his voice monotonous.

"Well," Destiney laughed a bit, grinning at me. "Enna actually--"

I placed a hand on her mouth. "She means to say that I'm thankful for you guys taking care of her." A nervous laugh escaped my mouth while the older male raised an eyebrow at me and Daisuke looked confused. Usually, I wouldn't care if Destiney blurted out things like that but for right now I don't know these people and I wouldn't want them to know things that they don't need to know about. Even some of the adorable people used against me at home.

"You have a bit of a fever." Dark placed a hand on my forehead, frowning a bit. "And your body hasn't healed from going to cold water to the extreme cold." Moving his hand, he gazed into the fire that was on the other of the room away from my bed. "You should be up and about in a little over two days." He stood up stretching a bit. "For now, you should just rest."

I stared up at his distant, face. "...Dark?" He glanced down at me, perplexed. "Thank you." I smiled at him while he face grew blank before he grinned back.

"I'm sure you're hungry by now, Miss. Ennalesta." Daisuke suddenly spoke up, standing. "We have some soup made for you on the stove." Before I could say anything my stomach cut in. Dark chuckled slightly while the younger two smiled. I couldn't help the blush of embarrassment that spread on my face.

It wasn't till a couple days that I could start walking around the cabin. My legs were asleep from being in bed for about a week so the three of them helped me until I could walk on my own again. I learned that they were brothers --Japanese descendant-- and Dark was a pervert. It was nice to meet new people but my mind was else where; focused on how to get home and how exactly we got here in the first place.

I couldn't even imagine the amount of sorrow that could be going around my home and in its vicinity. I kept telling myself that it was a dream; I would wake up tomorrow and everything would be normal. But, everyday I wake up to one of the three sleeping beside my bed.

It was real.

Mary and Amy are dead.

Rosie turned into this... Akuma.

Then she tried to kill us.

"Enna?" Dark shook me a bit. "Enna?" I didn't respond. I couldn't respond. Realization sunk in and it hit me, hard. "Hey, Dee what's wrong with your friend? Dee!" Dark called out to Destiney, who came around the corner and to the bed. "She's not answering to anything."

How could this have happened? "Enna...?" Why did my friends take such a thing as death to bring animation to life? "Enna!" The woman...she...she warned them but they didn't listen. "Enna, can you hear me?" Mary didn't listen. "Enna, talk to me!" Amy didn't listen. "Don't you dare...! Enna!" Rosie didn't listen.

This could have all been stopped. I could have stopped her--- I could have stopped Mary from doing that spell. If I was the least bit concerned for either of us, I could have stopped her from doing that stupid Black Magic shit at my house. I could have prevented their deaths--- who to say what's happening there now? What if Rosie...no.

That Akuma...was still attacking?

Who am I to be sitting here with having fun while my home could be in total destruction?

Why didn't I stop them from making that pentagram?

Lighting those candles?

Burning their wish?

Putting its ashes on the windowsill?

Why was so stupid to let all of this happen?

I even dragged Destiney in it and she was only in grade ten. She should be studying at home; doing her homework, getting her first job, holding her first paycheck. But I stopped her from doing that. How was she going to get back? I didn't know where we were. I didn't know how we got here. I didn't even know how to get back. We...no. I was at a loss. I shouldn't be sitting around here joking around when Destiney can't even...

Suddenly, my left cheek started to sting and my head was turned.

Slowly, I turned my head forward again to see Destiney with her head down, her hair hiding her face. Her breath was ragged and she was inhaling and exhaling deeply. Dark and Daisuke moved back a bit from the bed in shock. When she looked up at me, her face was red with anger but her eyes held fear. There were tear marks on her face. Before I knew it, she hugged me. "Ennalesta, don't you dare do that to me again!" She yelled into my shoulder while I looked down at her. "...I don't want to loose you too." Her voice had softened and her hands were clinging to my shirt.

Alone.

Destiney didn't care.

She didn't want to be alone.

She didn't care what happened.

She wanted to be together still.

No matter what had happened.

"...Destiney..." I said softly, making her look up at me. "I'm sorry. It's my fault were like this." I closed my eyes, talking a shaky breath. "If I had stopped them from...If I knew that..."

She shook her head. "There's no way could have know, Enna." She murmured. "How were you supposed to know this would happen? Even I didn't know. No one knew." Destiney's eyes glistened a bit. "You couldn't have prevented it so stop taking the blame and accept it!" Her voice raised as her eyes narrowed at me.

I didn't know how she stayed so strong. At home she seemed like such a weak, fragile girl but maybe that's how I saw her. Every time, she would be scared or crying. Maybe it was since her parents died she had forced herself to be strong--- in not for the simplest things but for the important things. I don't even have the courage to even think about what I would do without my parents.

"Of course." I responded while her eyes widened. "I'll stop taking the blame--- you'll just have to be my strength for now." I could tell she was confused by my wording but I merely smiled. With a small nod, she hugged me and I hugged her back. I froze a bit when I looked up to see the brothers sniffling. Destiney let go of me and turned to them. Dark was desperately trying to cover her tears by wiping them away along with the tear marks while Daisuke just continued to cry. "Erm..."

Daisuke smiled, despite his tears. "You're both just like...sisters." We looked at each other before Dark sat beside me. His face was clear, as if he hadn't cried at all.

"You're just like me, En." Dark placed an arm around me, drawing me closer to him. "I used to blame myself because of Daisuke." He smiled at me before he pressed his forehead against mine. He was just a little too close for comfort. "Don't think about it; they're always here to help." I guessed he was referring to the younger ones. "If that fails, know that I'm here, oujo-san." As soon as he said that, buried my face in my hands. "Huh? Are you okay? What did I say?"

Destiney laughed. "A little too much, Dark. Just a little."

Dark was talking in Roman if you didn't know so look it up :P. Don't worry, this isn't a D.N Angel fic but their wish was to have more anime wasn't it? Oh, and I don't know...writing about these two make me want to make it a part Yaoi story so tell me what I should do because I'll do it XP
