(Chapter 2... "She Knew")
Rated R: meaning cussing and vulgar situations
We all know how life is.. One point you're happy, and the next, you're crying. Well, life had never been kind to her.. Makoto's thoughts were driven to insanity as she walked to the temple... They had to have another meeting, and Makoto was relieved. Still sore from yesterday, she walked the lonely streets wondering how she was to hide the huge bruise on her arm.. Just when she thought she had no one to talk to, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Makoto turned to see, Setsuna...
"Hey, how are you?" Setsuna asked.
Makoto tried to fake a smile. "Just fine."
Setsuna bit her lower lip, unwilling to believe her. "Is there another meeting today?"
"Yeah." Makoto replied.
"Well, could I walk with you?" Setsuna wondered, still passing worried looks at Makoto.
"Sure." Makoto said as happy as she could.
Setsuna noticed the way Makoto was walking, and Makoto was sure of it also. Makoto was limping because her father had pushed her up against the bedside, and her ankle had hit the bottom of the steel sides of the bed.
Setsuna decide to speak up about her limp. "So what happened? Why are you limping?"
Makoto stammered, then came up with an excuse. "Oh..I..uhh..I did it in gym playing basketball."
Makoto's excuses were getting old, and she was sure that Setsuna suspected it too. Setsuna was just about to say something else, when they reached the temple and Usagi and the others were staring at them agitated.
Usagi spoke up about Makoto's lateness first. "Makoto, where have you been? I'm usually the one that's late, not you!"
Makoto tried to come up with an excuse, when Setsuna spoke. "She was with me, sorry for the delay."
Setsuna winked at Makoto and turned back towards the others, when Rei said something. "Well, we had better get inside and get this meeting over with."
The others agreed and they quickly rushed inside. When, they reached Rei's room, they sat around the table, and started to discuss what Rei had seen in the fire.
Rei cleared her throat. "What I saw in the fire, was a warrior, an assassin, coming here. I don't get bad vibes from him, but we still need to be careful and watch out for this new person."
The girls agreed, and Makoto was full of curiosity. She wanted to know more of this warrior, and maybe he was tied to her dreams somehow.
"Makoto, are you listening?" Rei demanded to know why she was daydreaming.
Makoto snapped out of her thoughts only to reply. "Yes. I just wanted to know more about this assassin, like what did he look like?"
"I'm not quite sure, but he did have persian, blue eyes." Rei stated.
Makoto's mind was in shock. "Is that all?"
"Yes." Rei replied, shocked that her friend would be so curious. "Why?"
Makoto snapped back before Rei suspected something. "Just curious."
Rei replied sarcastically. "O-kay."
"Is this meeting over yet?" Serena said yawning.
"....Yes Serena you may leave now!" Rei snapped.
"Hey! Leave her alone and control your damn temper!" Minako shouted at Rei.
"Sorry Usagi-chan." Rei apologized.
Ami immediately tried to change the subject. "So we just have to watch out and be careful. If I may, I have to go home, and study, so..."
"Yes this meeting is over." Rei sighed.
Setsuna left with Makoto to talk to her. She was curious as to what was truly wrong with Makoto. It was a long time before either of them spoke.
"What is really wrong Makoto?" Setsuna asked, tired of excuses.
"Nothing at all." Makoto retorted.
"I know what's wrong, so why don't you just tell me yourself?" Setsuna was getting angry.
"Well if you know then you shouldn't need an explanation should you?!" Makoto said as she walked off, leaving Setsuna behind.
What have I done? I've turned away one of my good friends, and got angry enough to walk away from them.. I'm sorry Setsuna. But I just can't let you know about.. My pain.. As she walked on home, she noticed the sky was brighter, and the birds were singing songs, and the trees were elegantly dancing in the cool breeze. Outside it was a perfect day, but inside it was always a rainy day.. The house she had dreaded to come to, her's, came up too soon. Makoto pushed back the front gate, and closed it reluctantly. She didn't want to be here, but where could she go? Her dad was waiting for her, at the front porch.
As she walked up to face him, he put a hand on her shoulder, and pulled her waist to his. He started to kiss her violently, and she pulled away.
"You little bitch! Don't think you are going to refuse me after fourteen years! You're seventeen now and great at this!" Her dad screamed at her as he pushed her in the door and to the living room.
He laid her down on the living room floor, next to the fireplace where she had first been raped. He ran his finger down her body, and she resisted as much as possible. But when he forced his way in her, she started to cry. She didn't want to be here, nor to have herself moan like a prostitute, but her body did. He continued on, pumping himself into her, and she continued to moan and cry through mixed feelings. Then, she began to cough and wheeze...
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Her dad screamed.
"I...Don't..Know.." Makoto said.
"Well you better get well or I will have you even more." Her dad ordered.
Her dad got up off her, and they put their clothes on. Just then, they heard Makoto's mother at the door. She walked in and smiled when she saw both of them..
"Hey...Mom!!!" Makoto ran up to her and hugged her, but she wouldn't let go.
"My what's wrong? You're coughing up blood! Oh my gosh we have got to get you to a hospital!" Her mother insisted.
Makoto's coughing became more violent, and she started to have trouble breathing. She fell into her mother's arms, and closed her eyes, still coughing. Time moved slower as she could barely see her dad running across the house and calling an ambulance.. Then they came.. Men in black, picking her up and putting her on a stretcher. Her skin had begun to get paler and more sickly, and more blood trickled down her mouth. She felt the sharp jab of needles, and voices screaming and shouting. Her heartbeat slowed as she heard the monitor's clicks and beeps. Am I going to die? Then, she realized she should've told Setsuna.. By after a few seconds, she realized she didn't have to.. She knew..
