History repeated

Chapter six

She inhaled small sharp breaths filled with smoke, while trying not to panic. She could feel her skin stinging under the flames as they licked over her body. It was the fire again. It didn't scare her as much as it used to, but it still terrified her. She closed her eyes and tried to make the pain stop. Tai wasn't even anywhere near her this time. She only seemed to feel like this when she was with him, but at the moment she was sitting in the cafeteria with Mimi and Jodi.

" Sora are you okay?" Jodi asked worriedly,

Sora snapped opened her eyes, she must look so stupid. With no reason for doing so she swung her head around. Her eyes immediately met with a piercing green pair on the over side of the room, staring at her. Emma flicked her long black hair over her shoulder and turned away from Sora.

" Yeah I'm fine," Sora muttered. Just as suddenly as the sensation had come it had gone.

" I've got to get some stuff from my locker, I'll see you two in class," She told her friends.

" Okay,"

She slipped off of the bench and headed down the long corridor to her locker. Out of the blue an arm wrapped itself around her stomach and pulled her into the person's body. He sweetly kissed the back of her neck.

" Hey Tai," she grinned already guessing it would be him. She turned around and he grinned down at her. At once he swooped down and kissed her properly.

She had been with Tai for a month, two weeks and three days now. And if she didn't say so her self, everything was perfect. She had never felt so happy just to be with one person. They nearly all of their time together, not that Tai had very much spare time. While he was working she would go and sit at the counter and talk to him, even help him clear up sometimes when matt wanted to get off early. While he was at soccer practice she would sit at the sidelines and watch him. She would even get up at seven on a Sunday morning to go and watch him coach her little brothers team. All right so she did sound a little bit pathetic following him ever where, but it wasn't like that. He always asked her to come with him and she wasn't going to say no to spending time with her boyfriend. When he had finished work they would go back to his apartment and he would cook dinner for his little sister and her. His parents both worked late so it was his job to look after Kari. Most girls would have moaned about hanging around his little sister, but Sora really liked Kari. She was allot more grown up than most girls her age and she was really fun to be around, just like Tai. When they finished dinner they would all sit and watch a video together, or just hang out. With no offence to Kari at all, sometimes Sora just liked to be alone in the apartment together. Of course she was allowed to like being alone with her boyfriend but this was different. Sometimes they would lay down on the coach together in total silence, he would hold her so tightly she thought he would never let her go and then they'd just lay there until it was time for her to go home, or until she felt herself falling asleep and realised she couldn't stay with him for ever.

It wasn't a sickly sweet relationship, they goofed around and had arguments, but she could never stay mad him for very long.

The best thing out of everything between them was they were now totally normal. She didn't see other people's reflections in her mirror, she didn't here voices whispering to her in the middle of the night. Apart from the odd sensation that she was being burned everything was totally normal. Alright it wasn't very normal that she kept on thinking there was fire all around her, that she couldn't breath for no reason at all, that she would be scared to death that she was going to die. But apart from that everything was just perfect.

She probably shouldn't say that. She might jinx it all if she said it was perfect. There she went again, she didn't believe in jinxes or spells or curses or ghosts.

" Perfect," She whispered as she pulled away from Tai, just to prove to herself that nothing would happen.

" Thanks I try my best," he grinned.

" I'm home!" Sora called into the apartment as she threw her school bag on the counter.

" I thought you were going back to Tai's again tonight," her mother said suspiciously as she walked out of her bedroom.

" I was but I got an English essay today and I thought I better do it,"

" Wow your actually doing homework," Ryan sniggered from the coach. She pulled a face at him.

" Anyway I'm going to stay in tonight mom I th-" She suddenly stopped dead in the middle of her sentence. Around her mothers neck was an oval golden locket, it had a chain design around the rim.

She had no idea why but her heart had just leapt into her throat at the sight of it.

" Where did you get that necklace?" She asked her Mother slowly.

" Oh this. It's been in out family for years and years. I thought that I had lost it a long time ago, but I found it this morning in the back of my dresser,"

" I've never seen it before,"

" Well it was a long time ago that I lost it. You probably won't remember it. My Mother gave it to me the day I married your father," She smiled fondly as though recalling a happy memory, " Actually it's got quite a history to it,"

" It has?"

" Yes. I'd say it must be about three hundred years old now,"

" Three hundred years!" Ryan cried, " That's ages,"

" Do you want to hear the story to it?"

" Yeah!" Ryan cried. Something inside Sora was crying out no. She wanted to run away and never listen or see anything to do with that locket.

" Well three hundred years ago our family were farmers in a small village. Now the family had a son and an elder daughter. Our great great great aunt and great great great grandfather. It's a whole lot of more great's but I don't know how many. Well the area around the town was owned by a lord, he was very powerful and controlled most of the village. But the lord had a son. Apparently he was incredibly handsome and rich as well, of course all of the girls wanted to marry him but he was already to betrothed to the mayor's daughter.

Then one day the lords son meant our great aunt and they fell madly in love with each other. But of course they knew they could never be together because of their families. A lord's son could never marry a farmer's daughter.

Then one night they decide to run away together and elope. They arranged to met in the middle of the night and never return. But while Our Aunt gavered up her few belongings a murderous crowd came to her cottage. She had been accused of witchcraft. People were very ruthless in those days about such accusations so she wasn't even given a fair trial. She was just tied to the stake and prepared to burn. As they set fire to the bonfire the Lords son wondered into the Village Square. He couldn't believe his eyes and demanded that they untied her. But the people said that she was a witch and deserved to die. He couldn't save her at all, the fire was already sweeping over her. So he decided that he couldn't live without her and threw him self on the flames, to die with her.

When our great uncle was married he gave his sisters' gold locker to his new wife and she gave it to her daughter on her wedding day. And so it's been handed down from generation to generation,"

" Was she really a witch?" Ryan asked eagerly.

" No Ryan witches don't exist,"

" Are you all right Sora, you don't look well?" her Mother stated.

Of course she wasn't all right. She felt asthough she was going to throw up any second. Her Mothers story rushed around her head. It was just a story, it happened hundreds of years ago, and she tried to assure herself. But something inside wouldn't let this awful feeling of fear and dread go.

" They must have really loved each other," She whispered, " To kill him for her,"

" I think that was really stupid, I'd never kill my self over a girl," Ryan told them,

" Oh and what would you know Ryan your just a little kid. You've never even been in love!" She yelled at him.

Tears stun at the back of her eyes, she clenched her fists to try and calm herself. Her whole body was shaking with rage and sadness. She ran into her room and slammed her door before either of them could say another word.

It was a warm summer's day. The sun peaked through the gaps in the oaks tree branches above her. She sighed happily as she lay her head down on Tai's muscular chest. She had never felt so content in all her life, just the two of them finally alone together. She never wanted this moment to end. She loved him so much it overwhelmed her. She could feel their passion running through her veins, with every beat of her heart it grew stronger. She would never stop loving him, never. No matter where he was she would always know his heart belonged to her. Even when they had left this world they would still be together.

He softly stroked her hair as she listened to his heartbeat. Nothing in the world could compare to this moment. He would trade all of his wealth in a second just to be with her.

Suddenly the sky clouded over. Arms grabbed hold of her and pulled her from him. She tried to reach out but she was being dragged further and further away. She tried to call out but no words left her open mouth.

No, no they couldn't take her from him. Wild fury erupted with in her, she was enraged, furious. No one could do this to them, how dare they. Hot salty tears ran down her cheeks.

He was gone, she could never have him back. Desolation, gloom, sorrow and loneliness suddenly overwhelmed her hate. She couldn't live with out him. Now he was gone and she'd never have him back.

Sora suddenly bolted upright in her bed as awoke from her dream. That's all it was, just a dream.

She rubbed the sore tears away from her eyes.

No it wasn't a dream! Of course it wasn't a dream, this had happened. They had been ripped apart. Why hadn't she seen it before? Was she really that closed minded that she just couldn't believe it. Of course it was real. That dream was so vivid it could only be a memory. Her memory.

More tears flowed down her cheeks as she sobbed into her hands. She needed to see him, she needed to be with him right now.

The Simpons theme tune rang in Tai's ears. He shoved his pillow over his head, had someone set his alarm to cartoons or something?

As he slowly began to join the world of the living he realised it was his cell phone. Who the hell could be ringing him at Two in the morning? He fell out of bed and fumbled around inside his bag by his desk for the annoying tune.

" Tai?" Sora's urgent voice called down the receiver.

" Sora what's wrong? Why are you calling me so early,"

" Tai I really need to talk to you," he could hear her voice quiver as though she had been crying,

" Sora what's wrong?" He asked again,

" Tai please I need to see you. I'm so sacred. I need you Tai. I don't want to be by myself,"

" Shhhhh," he soothed her, " it's alright Sora. I'm coming over right now okay,"

" Actually I'm already at the bottom of your apartment stairs," She whispered,

" Oh . . .Come straight up,"

She hung up the phone. He quickly picked up a screwed up shirt from his floor and shoved it over his head. He tiptoed out into the living room and opened the front door.

Before he even knew what had happened she had thrown herself into his arms. Her petite body jerked as she sobbed into his chest.

" Shhhhh," he whispered as he led her into his room. He sat her down on the edge of his bed and held tightly onto her, rocking her back and forth gently to calm her sobs.

" What's happened?" he asked softly,

" A dream," She choked out,

" A dream?"

" No not just a dream a memory,"

" A memory? Sora what's happened, please just give me a straight answer,"

" I'm . . .I'm being haunted!" She cried, even more violent tears ran into his shirt.

" Haunted?"

" You won't understand Tai,"

Haunted, of course he would understand.

" Why do you say that,"

" Because . . .Tai you have to believe me. Please. At first I thought I was going mad but I know I understand. Please Tai you have to believe me,"

" Alright I'll believe you Sora,"

Promise?"

" Of course,"

" It's . . .I hate it Tai. In the middle of the night I used to wake up and hear people whispering beside me. Go they kept on saying I didn't know why but now I do,"

" You heard them too?" he whispered,

" And then I was looking in the mirror and I saw someone else staring back. I really thought I was going crazy Tai,"

" If you're crazy then I must be aswell,"

" Then I had this dream Tai. But it wasn't a dream it really happened. Only it happened a long time ago. It was me and you Tai. You were a lord's son and I was a farmer's daughter. But they wouldn't let us get married even thought we were in love. So we were going to run away. But they said I was a witch and they burned me. Then you threw yourself on the fire!" She almost screamed the last bit.

If he hadn't been so shocked at what she was saying he would have tried to silence her so she didn't wake up his parents.

" They looked just like us Tai, you may think I made it up but I didn't. We were them and they were us. And now her spirits after me Tai. Not after me just with me. She's been telling me to go to you because she needs you so much. Or she needs her you. They've been apart so long she can't stand it. They need to be together,"

" When we were in your room that time. When we started kissing and I couldn't control myself. You felt like that to didn't you? Like someone was taking you over,"

" It was them Tai. They have been apart so long they used us to get to each other,"

" Sora . . .I,"

" Please Tai you said you would believe me!"

" Sora I do believe you. As crazy as it sounds I do. I've heard them to. The voices in the middle of the night,"

" And sometimes when I'm with you I feel asthough my whole body is burning. Like I'm the one tied to the stake,"

" It's alright Sora,"

" Oh my god Tai what's happening here. I understand it all, but I shouldn't. There dead both of them, but their still coming back to change our lives,"

" Maybe they were trying to help us,"

" What?"

" Telling us things, encouraging us to be together. Maybe they didn't want . . .history to repeat it's self,"

" I don't like it Tai. I never wanted to see what happened. I didn't just see it I felt it. Her heart was ripped out of her chest when they were torn apart. She loved him so much that she couldn't bear to live anymore without him Tai. I've never felt anything so powerful . . ."

" God they must have loved,"

" I want her to leave me alone,"

" When we were in your room . . .I've never felt anything like that before Sora. I thought I was going to explode with passion,"

" Me too and there was nothing I could do to stop it," Tears began to roll down her cheeks again.

" Shhhhh, it's alright Sora, I'm never going to let anything happen to you. Never. I'm not going to let you go Sora. You'll always be mine,"

He lifted up her chin with his finger and gave her a long passionate kiss. He laid her down on the bed and continued to kiss her. He ran his hands down her slight body.

She felt his heart beating against her chest. She knew she was safe. She knew this time it was Tai kissing her with every pound of passion in his body. She wasn't scared of him. She wanted him to love her. She knew there wasn't anything to worry about with him. He knew she wasn't ready to go all the way with him, one day she could see herself with him just not yet.

She fell into a peaceful sleep in his arms, with her head resting on his chest.

He watched her sleep for what seemed like hours, she was finally peaceful and content. Totally peaceful in his arms.

She slowly opened her eyes, Tai's room was filled with soft morning sunlight. She glanced over at his clock 6:05. It was a Saturday morning, not her ideal time to wake up, but she needed to get out of here before anyone realised she was missing.

She sat up and felt his strong arms slip off her waist. She smiled as she watched him breathing gently, a small smile flickered at the edges of his mouth as he slept. She didn't want to wake him he looked far too tranquil. She stood up and slipped her trainer's back on then carefully tiptoed out of his apartment and silently shut the door behind her.

It was a beautiful morning. A clear blue sky and an already warm sun. A perfect day to fit her perfect mood. Nothing could bring her down now, she was on top of the world.

She was far to awake to go back to bed now. The park entrance caught her eye across the deserted street. She might as well take an early morning walk.

It was strange how life could have its ups and downs. A while ago she had felt her life could only get worse. But now she was at the highest point she had ever had. Life really was perfect.

A twig snapped on the path behind her. Suddenly her skin started to burn again. She gasped for breath. She spun around to see what had trigged off this agonising reaction.

Something metal crashed around her head.

Nothing.
