Once upon a lullaby chapter46
Two weeks later after last chapter
I don't know why but lately Ive felt so tired, like its ending now instead of two weeks… That's right, not long now, you must be very bored of me going on about it all the time, and I would be too if I was you. Well I won't this time, to tell the truth nothing's really happened in the past two weeks. Kagura came to visit, she kept glaring at me. Rin came yesterday, something happened with Akito-san. I haven't questioned her, she just sat on my bed and I started to even up her hair. ( I'm gathering you know what happens so I'm not really going to go into much detail.) Yuki and Jessu have been hanging out more recently and Shigure has been winding up his editor more and more. Me and Kyo you ask, well we have been hanging out too, we went shopping yesterday saw this gorgeous purple dress but I didn't have enough, so me and Kyo sat on the bench outside and started to pretend to be all the snooty uptight people that came past.
It's been two weeks since you have last heard from me, and it's been two weeks since I got the green stone, and during these two weeks I haven't made any progress with the stone of truth. I walked up the stairs, it was a late Monday night and I was tired. I curled up in my bed and fell asleep.
When I awoke I was in a familiar place, a place that made me grin, I had no idea whether I was dreaming or whether this was real but the scent and the warmth felt homely. I looked up into my paradise and into the light purple that was the sky. Then –they- flew over.
"TULULA! JASMINA! CLAIRIA! AQUA!" I called out sitting up. They flew all as small as my hand hugging me, I had to be extra careful not to squish them. "Might I ask why I am here?" I was unable to stop grinning, they flew back so I could see their gentle faces and smiled.
"You brought yourself here, we think it was because you were bored!" Jasmina giggled. She swayed slightly and landed on my knee. "We've been watching you." She winked. I laughed.
"When you say it like that It sounds so pervert like," She laughed her little voice twinkling like a bell.
"We wanted to make sure you were safe, you have been doing well." Aqua said calmly smiling slightly. "You don't know how much Clairia wanted to go down there to you." Cliaria's cheeks turned pink as she looked down slightly shame faced and embarrassed. I nodded and stood up, well let's do something fun then. They grinned and fluttered up to my height, I closed my eyes spreading out my wings and flying up into the purple sky.
I spent for hours like that, flying and chanting spells. They were right this is a perfect world… but I couldn't stay in it forever. I was chanting a bubble spell when something unexpected happened. A crack in my perfect purple sky appeared, it wasn't that far but anyone with brains could tell that a huge crash in the sky wasn't good.
"Oh no…" Aqua murmured, and Jasmina screamed. Cliaria's hands suddenly caught flames and she spun round looking for the culprit. There was no culprit, I watched as rocks flew from the sky, large dark black ones destroying the glossy green field. Suddenly one rock, one smaller than the rest landed in my hands… it was an egg.
The rock started to shudder, and the sky started to close up slowly but grey clouds circled in the sky covering over the purple. As the sky closed up a crack in the rock appeared until it completely broke in two. And humming a little tune a little fairy popped out, She was dressed completely in black, she wore a small black flared dress lined with blood red silk. Her long black hair was tied in two ponies and she had bat wings.
"Greetings," She winked, her voice was cute and alluring, actually all of her was cute in a dark way. "Nice to meetcha I'm Marissa. Pleased to make your acquaintance." She curtseyed to me and giggled. Aqua had instantly flinched back and her voice wavered.
"Don't trust her Nami… she is a demon fairy."
"Aww that's not very nice," Marissa grinned. "You all know that we are Nami's creations, all of her feelings made into living forms, you wouldn't exist if Namii didn't, neither would I for that matter, but well it seems you haven't done her much good." She grinned evilly. "However, I created from Namii's darkest desires am here to change that." She held out her hand to me. "Take my hand… What could happen right?" Out of sheer curiosity I touched her hand with one finger. Black orbs surrounded me, it was like something had erupted inside of me. All my pain and sadness bubbling to the top… but it was that, that made me strong.
I looked exactly like Marissa, ponies, black dress, high heels and the wings. "Come on," She giggled flying into the trees. "Unless you wanna stay here forever…" I may have not wanted to but at the same time my body longed for me to go. So I flew into the depths of the forest, leaving a trail of black dust behind me.
Whilst I had flying I had came across a dark green field. "Well done," Marissa had congratulated me. "You're getting the hang of creation… anything you want, you can get." So I had closed my eyes and the field had expanded producing a large black castle from the ground. Vines crept their way up the sides of the turrets. I had walked inside into the cold rooms, but I felt neither the cold nor the warmth anymore. It was decorated just like the castle I had wanted as a kid, and if I could have shed a tear I would have.
My castle was perfectly designed, there was something to do in every room, and I could create anything I wished. Having Marissa as company was calming and safe, I could be as dark as I wanted around her, I didn't have to be nice, I didn't have to pretend, I could be me.
"Your amazing Namii-chan," Marissa admired. "You have created such a masterpiece, I envy you." I was half asleep as I listened to her praise, but from a distance I heard the swift movement of an arrow being fired. I stood up and within a matter of seconds and arrow with fresh flames burning at the end hit the post behind me. "Oh wow!" Marissa grinned. "It's a war signal, Namii-chan, did you create this?" She giggled happily, the thing is about Marissa, is that she ain't evil, she is good but her… well my desires get in the way. She isn't a demon like Aqua said, she is just dark.
"No," I shook my head jumping out the top window and landing on my feet. "They did." I pointed in front of me as Marissa joined my side. There on the huge field I had just recently created stood Aqua, Jasmina, Clairia and Tulula; behind each of them stood an army of 4 different types of soldiers; water, fire, earth and air. I stood in defence.
"Namii, we don't wish to hurt you, however we are you guardian faeries, and we shall -not- allow you to turn evil." Aqua called out from the other half of the field. My desire to fight took over from that moment on. I closed my eyes and lifted my arms to the side raising them slightly. From the ground came around 100 stone soldiers, and as I opened my eyes their shells began to break revealing a group of black soldiers. Marissa giggled and the other faeries sighed, then the war began.
The faeries didn't fight, fight, they controlled the soldiers as Marissa did for mine. I joined in the fight, attacking and defending myself from some of the best soldiers turning them to dust. We fought for what seemed like days but was probably only hours, at the end nearly all my soldiers were gone, as well as the element soldiers. By this time I was clutching my side from where a fire soldier had scorched; I couldn't feel the heat but I could still feel pain.
Not knowing what to do next I stood there, watching the other four turn to each other murmuring stuff whilst Marissa destroyed our last useless soldiers (Please make note that these soldiers aren't real people and just rock so people don't think I'm some sort of murderous psycho.) They all joined hands and from nowhere came a huge giant soldier which contained the powers of each of them.
I pulled out my sword and the second round began, I curved around the soldier slicing at him, sending exploding rocks firing at him, but it was only minimal damage. I was being defeated, His sword cut through my skin and I bled, but I was determined to not give up, I could never give up. I fought bravely, ignoring my wounds and stuck my sword right through his body. Light burst out from his wound, engulfing me completely, it was so bright I couldn't see. It was so powerful that I wasn't even in that world anymore.
I fell into the deep pit which was bottomless, my long, sleek, shiny hair brushed across my face. The tears slid across my face each one filled with pure self-hatred. My golden wings were too damaged for me to fly. The place around me was completely black. All I have to do is wait for death, the thing I have feared for most of my life. More than spiders, more than the ghosts that haunt my past, death to me is terrifying, but now I can't run any more all I have to do is wait...
Remembering the nightmare etched into my soul so long ago I screamed, it was a blood curdling scream that pierced my heart. Everywhere was so dark… then came light.
I awoke in my field, it was back to normal, and back to before the meteors had hit it. I sat up and the overwhelming feeling of dizziness swung round my head. "Namii!" Tulula cried out holding onto my hand, keeping me up. A pang of guilt hit me, I had turned dark for god knows how long. I had left my friends to follow my desires… but Tulula didn't look mad. "I was so worried, when you collapsed we took you back here… you scared me when you screamed." I looked down at my body; I was human again.
Jasmina entered, followed by Clairia and Aqua. They sighed happily when they saw I was awake and came and hugged me. The tears rolled down my cheeks and I laughed happily. "I'm sorry guys," I murmured, they just nodded in acknowledgement. "Where is Marissa?" I asked as we parted.
"There." Aqua pointed to the rock on the grass, it had vines wrapped round it. I crawled over and unwrapped it. Marissa popped out sighing.
"Was there any need in tying me up?" She asked the other faeries. Laughing gently I patted her small black head.
"Hey be nice, now listen all of you. To me your just as important as each other, you are all doing an amazing job as faeries and as friends. So please no more fighting." I smiled and they shuffled their feet nodding. Jasmina was the first to speak.
"But Namii… Marissa was right, we haven't been doing a very good job, and we aren't even there when you need us. So…" She trailed off, Clairia picked up.
"Your necklace with the stones, we can stay in there, so we will always be with you wherever you are."
"And you can take my rock with you too, and I can come out whenever you need moi." Marissa chipped in giggling her cute little laugh.
"I… Would like that." I smiled grinning. One by one they kissed my cheek gently and flew into the stone on the necklace that matched them. First Tulula; who cried slightly, then Clairia; who grinned and waved, then Jasmina; who gave me a flower. Last was Aqua, she held my hand and looked into my purple eyes.
"Remember we are here with you, you don't have to do everything alone you know." She kissed my cheek and dived into the blue stone. I shuffled Marissa into her stone, and closed my eyes smiling to myself. When I opened them I was kneeling on my bed; I put Marissa and her stone on my bedside table and patted my necklace.
"Night night, my little angels."
