Love to write longer. but can't. Sorry readers, time constraint. Geez. I never knew JC life is so horrible! Oh yea, the reason why I had the time to write this chapter is because I am sick. Yes, I've caught the flu bug and instead of sleeping, I'm here trying to finish my endless tutorial and this chapter. Wow. I an *so* looking forward to my new lecture notes and tutorials tomorrow. *makes a face* Ah. well, I've to go and write a speech for my SPEAK EZ programme. Topic which I had chosen is -- Homosexuality - Should it be condemned? Sooo. I am doing my research and trying to get some inspiration to make this into one inspiring, intellectual, interesting and soul searching essay. ^___^ ; Wish me luck!
Arc II
[chapter 2]
Ting-a-ling of bells woke him from his restless dreams of loud commotion and the acrid smell of smoke and gunpowder. The slivery chimes of the bells rang, treading carefully though the still air of the room, making its graceful, invisible dance to his nightmare, like a savior.
Such a familiar tune.
Duo stirred, his head moving slowly as the conscious finally returned back to him. The sheets rustled and the pillows shifted, disturbing the strangely quiet tune, which, even as it soothed his mind, made his heart ached.
But why?
"Oh. You are awake."
A sudden voice boomed out, seemingly loud to his tender ears, shattering the feeling of solitude in the room, followed by a series of the clicking of boots upon marble floor. A soft click rang loudly in the shadowy room as the singing of the bells halted suddenly as the clucking of the boots paused for a while before continuing its path.
Duo lifted his heavy eyelids. His vision blurred for a while as his eyes adjusted themselves to the darkness, lit only by the pale shimmer of the silver orb of the night. His chest felt stiff, as if restricted by something. He tried to move up, shifting into a better position to take a look at this stranger but only whimpered. His chest hurt. Warm hands were immediately on his body, clutching carefully at his arms and shoulders, firmly but gently forcing him to lie back onto the soft mattress.
Duo felt something fluttered in his stomach. Why was it, that these hands felt so familiar, just like the cool ones that he had felt before?
In his face was a mop of messy black hair. Or was it brown? Duo caught the drifting scent of lavender. He used to know this scent, these familiar hands, and this voice. Where? He couldn't place it.
He tried to voice his thoughts, but all that came out from his cracked throat was a feeble cry. Duo shut his eyes, angry with himself for being so weak. But when he opened his eyes, the mop of hair was gone.
In its stead, a pair of searing cobalt blue eyes boring so deeply into his own.
"Duo? Are you okay?"
The worried tone of his voice pierced through his fuzzy mind. His heart did a little jump for no apparent reason. Why? This was a boy in front of him. A boy. Who seemed so painfully familiar.?
"Who are you?"
