Ghosts from the Past "Wufei..." The voice was empty. "Wufei...where are you going?" The hands were empty, too. "Wufei...you can't run away from us." The heart was screaming. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Quiet...quiet...silence... "Wufei." He could almost see them shaking their head. "That won't work." Sobs. "You can't get rid of us." Insanity. "Who are you?" Their laughter was cruel. "You know who we are, Wufei." He was confused. "No, I don't. Where am I?" He felt them smile. "You know where you are, Wufei." Did he? "No. No, I don't. Who am I?" He was very confused. "You know who you are, Wufei." Now he was angry. "Why can't you just answer my questions?!" Very angry. "Why? You already know the answers." He fell to his knees. "I can't remember. Can't you just tell me?" They laughed again. "We can't do that. You'd know too much." Echoing laughter. Quiet...quiet...silence... "But I thought you said I knew already." He felt them smile again. "We did. We're not lying to you, Wufei." No straight answers. Just more questions. "I don't know anything. Please just tell me." A disappointed sigh. "We had hoped you'd remember on your own." His head was in his hands. "But I can't." They nodded. "This we know. You are Wufei. Slaughterer of lambs." Shock! "What?!" They laughed again and again. "You amuse us. You're the slaughter of lambs." It was so quiet there. "Lambs?" Oh how they laughed at this. "Children! Innocents! How little you know, Wufei. Did no one teach you?" They were chastizing him now. "Children?" They smiled yet again. "Yes. You killed us, Wufei. Tell us...did it hurt you to die?" He was horrified. "Who are you?!" Blank empty stares of bloody children. Dead children. "You killed us, Wufei." Shaking his head. "NO! NO! I did not kill YOU!" This was too much. "You killed us, Wufei." He was crumbling. "Where am I?! Where am I?!" They smiled coldly. "Our own personal hell for you." He looked around for a way out. "You can't leave us, Wufei." "You killed us, Wufei." A pile of dust on the floor. "You killed us, Wufei" Claimed by insanity. "OH GOD!" Broken. Sobbing. -fin- |
