The Clow Hatter

Chapter 2-The Sick Clow Reed

  Eriol Hiiragizawa, a young boy semi-magician, was sitting in the master armchair. He was quietly mediating, trying to figure out what was going on.

  Ever since Sakura sealed the last card of Clow into a Sakura card, things started to finally be peaceful.

  Something was definitely going on and Eriol had to figure out what.

  It dealt nothing with Sakura, but it defiantly is something with Clow Reed.

  But in technicality, wasn't Eriol is Clow Reed?

  Yes.

  Since that dark night in October, he had his first visits from The Clow Hatter. That lankly bastard was hanging on the walls, taunting him with his sick idiocy.

  It even drove Eriol mad too.

  Why did Clow created such a creature being trapped in a mirror? Why was he taunting him? What was he?! A Clow Card? A Guardian Beast? A sign of Clow's sick twisted humour?!!!

  Silly reincarnation of Clow, you'll never get in my plans like you did the last time.

  It finally hit him. The Clow Hatter was planning on something. The Clow Hatter was trying to lure Eriol to get rid of that blasted mirror so that he (The Clow Hatter) will have access to all the mirrors in the world!!!

  Damnit!!! He was nothing but a mere puppet on strings for The Clow Hatter.

  What really pissed him off was that he realized he couldn't do anything about it.

  But he could pervert him from succeeding. His "victim" was in the early stages of the poison.

  Eriol could have called Sakura for this. But, even for a Card Mistress, she'll never understand.

  She'll never understand that that Clow Reed had a dark past. She'll never understand that Clow Reed was sentence into confinement in an asylum, which lingered his insanity. She'll never understand the Clow Reed dealt with his prosecutor by sowing a body bag on his flesh, causing him to be in great pain…but kept him living.  

  She'll never understand that madman in the mirror is Clow Reed and he is not Clow Reed.

  This was Eriol's problem; he had to deal with it. With or without Clow's magic, he hoped he could save this virgin key before it was too late.

  "Vanessa," Matt asked as he was looking at the papers, "are you sure you're all right?"

  "I don't know," Vanessa replied, "I just don't know. I feel like I'm going mad!!!"

  "Are you sure you're not addictive or taken anything strange lately?"

  "Matt, what do you mean by that?"

  Matt looked strait at her; his face was serious.

  "While I preformed a daily check up on you," Matt said as he kept looking at her, "my computer found traces of lysergic acid diethylamide in your system."

  "What?" Vanessa cried out while she looked confused.

  "LSD."

  "LSD?! How the hell did LSD get in my system?!!! I don't even know where to get it."

  "I know. At least it was some minor traces…but I can't allow you to leave the house. If you do, you'll probably get some more of this hallucination drug and it'll cause you to literally go insane."

  "I don't know if I'm insane already."

  "Relax Vanessa, at least you can miss college for a day. Maybe with some rest, you can recall how you've got this drug. Not to mention, you can use YingGirl to go and kick his ass once you've figure out who's trying to screw around with you mind."

  "Fine. Don't worry, I'll find this fucker once my senses are straight. He's a dead man."
