Hiya! Sorry i have not written so long, but i've been
moving house AND my computer broke down.
***************
Michiru opened her eyes to the glare of the sun.
Carefully she tried to move her arm, but the searing pain
stopped any movement.
The smell of sea salt mingled unplesantly with the blood seeping
from her cracked lips making her wince in pain. Her mouth felt dry
and parched while her body ached painfully with hundreds of tiny bruses
from the long fall from over the high cliffs. She knew very well that
though she had survived the fall she was not likley to last much
longer without water.
She tried to move once again, but her limbs refused to budge.
She felt so dizzy. And so weak.
'I can't let go yet.' she thought to herself 'i can't let go...'
She couldn't hold on. Her grip on the world was slipping away.
"Some one help me..."
************
"Someone help me..."
Haruka looked around the cliffs, but no one was in sight.
Curling her fists into a tight ball she warily looked around.
If anyone had found her they where not likley to recognise her, but
she couldn't take a chance.
When no one appeared she decided to move onwards, that was when she saw
the flash of greeny blue from the beach below her. Without a thought she
began to climb down to investigate and what she found was enough to shock anyone.
A girl about her age lay motionless on the sand. Her hair was a light
sea green and her body was covered in bruises. The thing that acctually
shocked her most out of all of this was the girls VERY familiar dress
with that VERY familliar symbol.
"A child of the gods..."
Carefully Haruka kneeled down next to her. She could still hear the girls
shallow breathing proving that she still lived. Reaching into her bag Haruka pulled
out some clothes and she carefully tried to wrap the girls wounds.
Gently she picked her up hoping desperatly that her limited knowledge could
help this girl to recover. Now all she hoped to do was to get her somewhere safe.
Vaguley she wondered if all the children of the gods had been attacked AND why she
was so desperate to save her, but she forgot the feeling quickly as she spotted a
cave in the cliffs.
"I'll help you." She whipered to the green haired girl "I just hope i know what
to do..."
Holding the girl in her arms Haruka carried walked into the cave.
**************
Warm arms where holding her close. Michiru could feel tufts of soft hair brushing
gently against her face. She could vaguley make out sandy cropped hair and hard
grey eyes staring into the distance. A warm feeling of relief washed over her as
she realised that she was safe and very much alive. Slowly she fell back into a
deep sleep....
****************
Hotaru shivered fearfully as Scarab led her to the chamber where her mother awaited.
The halls where dark and cold and Scarabs grip on her arm was much to strong. She ran
quickly on her tiny feet to keep up with his pace, but it was hard work.
"You'll get it now little wretch." He whispered maliciously.
"Goddess Helen isn't the most forgiving sort."
She awaited them patiently, her face expressing an almost indifferent calm.
Sir Scarab left Hotaru infront of her mother and stepped back till he was a safe
distance from them both. He then sat down on one of the cushioned chairs and
settled down to watch the fun.
Hotaru kept her gaze away from her mothers cold eyes with and spoke in a voice
verging on tears.
"I'm sorry mother! I promise not to do it again i'll be faithful to the cause.
Just... Just please don't lock me away again...."
Her voice trailed away into silence and hellen watched her cooly.
"Its alright Hotaru your not going to be locked away."
Hotaru looked up with the small spark of hope bright in her tear streacked face.
"You mean i'm not in trouble? You mean you... understand?"
Hellen laughed evily.
"Understand child?" She said sharply "I understand none of you humans."
The last of her precious hope of love dimmed. And faded.
"I will not lock you away Hotaru," Said Hellen "Because you are going to prove
yourself to me. While Scarab gets back the god's little brats you are going to
carry out a task to prove yourself."
"What must i do mother?"
"One word." She whispered
"KILL."
