"I want your trust by a favor. A simple favor." Ren said turning face-to-face with the maid. "What do you command, Mistress?" "I am kept a close watch, am I not? And right now, Yuki is keeping a close eye on his son Yuri, my Rat. That close eye, do you know what it means?" Ren asked. "No, Mistress." "I heard a few, ummm let's call them rumors. They say he's planning to move away from here, with his wife and child which makes him leave the Sohma Compound frequently. Of course, I don't allow it. So this is what I want you to do while he is away"
Her eyes flickered to a movement behind the closet of her robes. The cabinet shuddered slightly then went completely still. Ren's eyes narrowed slightly as her right eye flinched. She swiftly strode to where the cabinet was. She glanced at the baffled maid then back at the closet. She held her hand out to touch the handle and heard a low gasp from inside the cabinet itself. Ren smirked. She gripped the handle and slammed the door open. Her eyes widened. Hidden there, crouched with all the robes around her body was none other than Viola!
Viola stared at the fuming face of Ren who was staring at her with shock and rage. Her heart pummeled and her stomache made and unpleasant lurch. This was so not good. She was in big, big trouble.
Change of Scene
Yuri sat crouched in the corner of the room Ren had thrown him in. The room was blank. It was completely blank. The walls were in a deep shade of red that reminded him of blood. There were blankets thrown everywhere and a few chairs. There were some paint thrown carelessly onto the red walls- most of them were black lines and dots due to the splashing. Yuri clutched his knees closer to his chest. School wasn't as good as it used to be. Ryo barely came to school nowadays. Viola wasn't the Viola he knew anymore and he was so worked up about the curse and all the things Ren told him that he couldn't even concentrate and pay attention.
A sigh escaped his lips as he cuddled even closer to his knees. He missed his family. He missed his father. He missed his mother. He missed his uncles and aunts and cousins, heck he even missed his uncle Kakeru! He wished that he would go back to the old days when he first came. He silently wished that this was a dream and he would wake up any second but deep inside, he knew that he wasn't dreaming- he knew that this was reality.
He heard a scream. A loud, high, screeching scream. He recognized that scream. That was Viola. His eyes went wide open and his jaw dropped. Viola was hurt. Ren. It must be Ren. All the screams and pains and tears would shamelessly point at Ren's direction. He stood up hastily and groaned in pain. He hasnt moved his legs in a long, long time. They ached him severely but he ignored the pain. Viola needed him right now. He had to run and find her.
He ran, he ran faster than he ever had in his life. He ran so fast he was sure he was a blur to anyone who saw him. He passed the doors he passed the maids. He even passed the thought that said he would be punished if Ren caught him, his bruises stung as a reminder. He reached the door and pulled the handle. It wouldn't open; it was locked. It was locked. It was locked! He tried to scream but his throat gave out a rasp and it burned him. He tried to scream- to scream for help or to stop the violence- but he couldn't, it hurt.
He tried again, but it still burned. He tried twice, thrice and then-
"Stop!" he could barely hear his voice. "Stop!" it was hard and rasp and low. "Stop!" it was getting clearer. "Stop! Stop! STOP! STOP IT! PLEASE! PLEASE!"
He was yelling and banging on the on the door as hard as he could. The screaming got worse and worse that he felt Viola's throat got rasp and burned. Then, it stopped. It just stopped. Yuri gasped and pressed his sore ear against the cold door. He heard a faint click and the door was banged open. He staggered forward then saw Ren smiling that sickening smile on her pale, pale face. His eyes flickered to her hand. A knife. No! No- She would NEVER!
"No! No! You Can't-" his voice was cracking and tears swelled in eyes.
"Kill her? Of course not," although the way she looked as though she wished Viola the worse kind of sickness alive.
He didn't care anymore, Leader or no leader, he needed to see Viola. He pushed passed her then stopped dead in his tracks.
On the floor was an unconscious Viola. There was no bleeding. No bruises, no scratches. Her cheek was the only thing swollen but what really surprised him was her hair. Her usually long, waist-length black hair was was was EVERYWHERE!
"I thought it revive the memory, you know" (1)
Her hair was cut unevenly and messily and her hair was scattered everywhere. She looked dead. His knees gave away. He glowered at Ren who continued to smile cruely.
"HELP! HELP! VIOLA! HELP HER!" he screamed as he shook Viola trying to wake her. "PLEASE! PLEASE!"
He shook her. Pleading. Wanting nothing more than help. Then Takaro arrived and was staring wide-eyed at the door way staring at the life-less form of the person he cared so much for.
Changed Scene
Shun sat staring at the golden-green eyes of Zora who was facing him, a small smile playing on her lips. The study room was a normal for them to be found and here they were, staring at each other from something Zora had said.
"W-What?" he asked unsure of what he had just heard.
"Dont let go," she replied simply.
She squeezed his warm hand in hers he squeezed it back.
A/N: Hope it was a good chapter, pls review!
(1) it meant that she cut Viola's hair the way akito cut Rin's hair.
