Chapter 17-Another Chance

Motoki lowered his phone. He then held onto YingGirl once more, crying.
"They'll come," Motoki whispered as he held tighter, "but will they bother to show up? You're body is so cold....are you really dead or do you just want to be left alone forever?"
One of YingGirl's lifeless eyes poured out a tear. It rolled to the side of her face and fell onto the floor. Motoki looked towards YingGirl, wondering what it could all mean.

****

There was an old memory playing in her head. It always played at these moments.
Vanessa was running. She was running away from some males who were much older than her. Her body was covered in bruises and she could only see well with one eye.
Her glasses were broken.
And yet she continue to run. Not caring where she was going in hopes to escape her attackers.
"Get her!!!" one of them shouted, "Don't let her get away!!!!"
They were chasing her. She had no other choice but to run faster. For if she was caught...what else would these guys to to her?
She quickly made a turn and hid underneath the stairways. She watched all her attackers pass by her without even noticing she was hidden behind the stairway.
After waiting a few minutes, she then walked out from underneath the stairs. She looked around herself, seeing all the bruises she's gotten from her first beating from the guys.
She wanted to cry, but then it would cause tredmedous pain to her other eye. Her other eye was a black eye.
"Why do they hate me?" Vanessa asked to herself, "What did I ever do wrong? Why do I come here in the first place?!!!"
Her eyes were turing red as she started crying. She continue to cry even though it hurts so much....

****

"Why...?" YingGirl muttered to herself as more tears ran down her eyes, "Why does everyone still hate me?"
Motoki held onto YingGirl, crying as well.
"You're alive!!!" Motoki cried out as he hugged her, "YingGirl, please don't ever leave me like that again!!!"
YingGirl looked up at Motoki, her eyes were in tears once more.
"Even if I did survive..." YingGirl said as she looked staright at Motoki, "will anyone care? I've been killed and resserected before without any purpose. I still continue to live alone forever. It's just like I'm living in my own Hell."
Motoki looked back at YingGirl and smiled.
"Then go and live a new life with me..." Motoki replied, "with me at Takashi Castle."
YingGirl was confused for once. Why was Motoki offering such an offer? She couldn't stay in that castle!!! She just couldn't!!! It just was not right to stay in a place where people cared for her...
She was always in places where people hated her!!!!
She pulled away from Motoki's grip and stood up. She looked back at Motoki.
"No..." YingGirl whispered to herself, "I can't go there. I could never go back there."
"Why?" Motoki asked as he stood up too. He then started to approach her.
YingGirl backed away.
"Stay away...." YingGirl cried as she got a bit defensive, "STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!!"
Motoki looked at her, he was the one confused now. What did he do wrong to make YingGirl so hysterical?
"STAY AWAY!!!" YingGirl screamed and she started to run off.
Motoki didn't seem to understand. He watched YingGirl backing away from him....but why?

****

YingGirl continued to run. She couldn't fly with a broken wing...
And nor can she return back to Motoki. She couldn't stay there. She was meant to be hated by everyone. Never loved....
She didn't want to go back there. She can't go back there. She continued to run.
Too late....
Someone quickly hugged onto her. YingGirl could only cry in sorrow.
The others have arrived. YangGirl, Koko, and Katrice saw Kaga holding onto YingGirl; the fallen angel. Motoki also appeared, seeing his own uncle beating him to the prize.
YingGirl only cried, knowing about her failed attempt to get away; to get away from everything. But was it worth it to loose?
Kaga comforted the hysterical YingGirl as she kept crying softly. Motoki looked back at his uncle, wondering why YingGirl could trust his uncle...but not him?
"Van-chan..." Katrice whispered, "what's wrong?"
YangGirl lowered her head.
"Baka..." YangGirl muttered. Kaga then looked back at everyone.
"It's best we leave this place," Kaga said as he held onto YingGirl, "the others are waiting for us."
YingGirl just tried to cover her tears. She didn't want to admit failure. Alessa and Motoki agreed with him.
And so...everyone taken the helicoptor once more and left the castle. Neith of them noticed Lady Xineoh and Lord Rammael waving back at them.

****

Alessa started to exit the castle with Koko also following her.
Katrice was pacing from behind them.
"Are you sure you want Vanessa to stay here?" Katrice asked.
Both Koko and Alessa turned around and faced their furry cat rabbit ally.
"She'll be all right here," Alessa replied with a smile, "even though she may not understand...she's safe here."
"But..." Katrice muttered, "Kaga and Motoki are..."
"I know. And I feel almost jealious about her. To have two good looking guys after her....it could make anyone feel jealious."
"Hey!!!"
Alessa smiled back at Katrice. She then turned back and started to head towards the exit once more.
"Good luck Katrice," Koko replied as he began to follow Alessa, "if you dare see Motoki of Kaga dare hurt Vanessa, please contact us imediately. We don't want to see our dear little sister get hurt."
Katrice watched as both Alessa and Koko finally left. Katrice wondered if she'll ever see them again and praised they won't come in a time where the Phoenix Princess was at her weakest hour.

Vanessa was lying on the bed. She was recovering from her some bruises she's recieved. She looked up and stare towards the celling. She was also crying...
Why was she not dead? Why did they left her live? Don't they know they are in great danger? Don't they know she is a nuisance?
It was best if they left her to die....
But they didn't.
And she was too tired to agure with them. She didn't want to fight anymore. It started to hurt her head....
Perhaps, one day...she'll understand why she's still here, why Motoki hugged her, or why she's gotten that kiss.
One day....
She pulled onto the covers and tried to get some rest. Somehow, she had to manage to stay here until she recovered.
Whenever she liked it or not.
