AND SLOWLY SHE BECOMES DEATH:

Chapter 13: Red Sparrow

(Ikuto pov)

My eyes were nearly popping out of there sockets. It looked as if I was walking into a horror film. Glass was literally frozen in the air, creating a wall of shattered glass. Amu was somehow pinned a foot of the ground, against the wall. She had a look of pain in her eyes, she looked terrified. I noticed she was bleeding I looked for the wounds.

Upon spotting it my eyes widened even more if possible. There right between her collar bone was the skeleton of a bird, carved into her skin and dripping with blood. I was trying to find a way past the glass to help her. When she screamed out my eyes shot to her.

It looked as though something I couldn't see was cutting her skin open. Slashes started to appear on her arms. Blood was dripping to the floor. Ignoring the glass I ran through it feeling sharp stings all over.

I didn't care I was gonna save her no matter what. Finally I had reached her I took her hand and pulled her to me and against my chest. I held her shaking body close to me in a way that was firm yet gentle. I had to get us out of here and somewhere safe.

That way I could treat our wounds. The glass had seemed to have multiplied. I held her closer and as I did so I heard the sound of laughter, looking around I didn't see no one. I covered her with my body, and walked backwards.

Using my back as a shield for her. I tried to comfort her by whispering words of reassurance, but I decided holding her close would have to be enough until we got out of here. Once out of the room I scooped her up in my arms cradling her close to my chest. I made my way down the stairs and out the door as quickly as I could.

It was getting dark and we were both cut up and covered in blood. Deciding it be best to call Utau and ask her to come pick us up. Sitting Amu down on the last step of the porch I got up to call Utau. As I was about to take a step away I felt a small hang grab mine.

Looking down I was met with the sight of Amu's terrified eyes. I sat down and pulled her onto my lap. I used one hand to rub her back while i used the other to call Utau. "Ikuto? Where are you?" came her voice after the second ring.

"Listen I need you to bring my car and pick me up OK?" I waited for her answer. "Um.. OK but where are you?" I glanced back at the numbers on the house. " 13175 Canterberry street, its close to the old amusement park the one that closed lat year."

Her reply was a simple OK. "And Utau.. hurry please but be careful." I closed my phone and slipped it into my pocket. Amu had started to moan in pain.

"Amu, don't worry I want you to know I believe you and I'm gonna help you OK?" I felt her nod against my chest. My mind wandered how the hell did all that happen! That was proof that she wasn't crazy or a liar.

It also proved I wasn't crazy either. To bad other people couldn't see them. I guess we really are alike. I smiled at that I wasn't alone I now had someone who could understand me.

"Iku..thank you." Amu mumbled I glanced down to find her sleeping. She cuddled closer and sighed. She looked so Innocent and cute. "What are you doing to me strawberry?"

I whispered in her air then kissed her soft cheek. I heard the engine of a car cut off, and looked up to see Utau getting out of the car. She walked towards us from the way her mouth dropped and her eyes widened i guessed she just noticed Amu's and mines appearance. "What the hell happened!" she yelled.

I glanced down at Amu, making sure she hadn't woken up. She hadn't looking up I quietly said id explain later. When we had gotten home, we immediately treated Amu's and mines wounds. I had placed Amu in my bed she hadn't woken up yet and I planned to let her rest as long as she needed too.

I then proceeded in cautiously trying to explain the crazy and far fetched sounding events. "I believe you Ikuto" to say I was surprised was a huge understatement. I was absorbing it still when Utau said something that scared me. "Ikuto a skeleton of a sparrow is a bad sign. It can mean death, or the loss of ones freedom. The fact that ghost did it is even worse."

I looked at her once again shocked. "Utau how... how do you know that?" She shrugged as if it was perfectly normal,"I had to do a report once on ominous meanings." I looked at her as if she had grown a second head.

I noticed her eyes held sadness. "Utau would you mind doing something for me?" She nodded in response. "could you research our situation?"

Immediately she said yes and ran off to do so. Her words about what the sparrows skeleton meant repeated in my mind. It mad my heart hurt, what is this feeling? I slowly made my way to my room to check on Amu. She was still asleep and had been the whole time.

I smiled when I saw her, she needed to rest so I was gonna let her sleep till she wanted to wake up. I sat on the edge of my bed I held her small hand. I guess all I could do for now is wait.

I rushed home as soon as my friend informed me that she couldn't find Amu. When I got home I ran up to her room. I found it a mess glass everywhere and...blood. I held in my scream and tried to keep calm.

I called the police they said they were sending an officer to take my statement. When I had finished I couldn't keep my tears in any longer. I was afraid for my little girl. I called my husband and told him the news. He shouted he'd be there right away.

(outside pov)

Amu was dreaming about how Ikuto used his back to shield her. How his voice had been sweet and addicting, and how his arms made her feel safe. But the wonder of it all is that he didn't leave her. As she slept a poem ran through her mind.

She had never heard it before, but for some reason she knew it was very important.

(poem I wrote specifically for this chapter)

The red sparrow stays battering her wings. Trapped in a cage of glass taunted by monstrous things. Even if she could escape she wouldn't get far. Because there always watching, waiting, wanting, to stop her heart. Desperately she seeks a haven a place where she can be. Without having nightmares invade her dreams. Can any one save her? so she wont go it alone. Can anyone free her from her glass home? So she the little sparrow still battering against the cage slowly yet surely her color starts to change. Her feathers stained red by the blood of the dead. And soon the red sparrow will lose her will to fight. In the end it will cost her life. But after all that's what death craves. To devour her soul to gain from all the rage. Till then she the sparrow will stay Trapped, lost, hurt, and scared. Till the end of her days.

The moment he had took her hand and pulled her through Ikuto had set the red sparrow free from her glass cage. However would he be able to save her from death?

I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS I ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE THIS CHAPTER ESPECIALLY MY POEM.
