This chapter is for esca chick, the first person who reviewed Chapter 14.
Thank you! :(
I thought that last chapter was a bit boring, (ZZZZZZZ..) but hopefully
I've got the story moving forward again. I'm sorry the most recent chapters
are so short, ( but I feel that if they're any longer they would upset the
structure of the story ( * glares * stupid..piontless SCAFFOLDING!!!) and
the importance of the events. In my next chapter I'll try and make more of
an effort to make them longer, * snorts * ...but I'm a lazy cow !!!! he he
he. Enjoy mucho.....
Chapter 15- Dreaming Hidden Warnings
The nurse gazed at the young girl, who was sleeping peacefully in her bed. "She's so beautiful," he sighed, checking her data sheet. Hitomi Kanzaki. It had a nice ring to it. He looked back to the quiet, innocent face and wondered what was going on in her mind as she slept, protected from the world by her dreams. Smiling, he walked away to the next patient.
The sun was shining, the sky was blue. She could hear birds singing. "Where am I?" She asked the world. "Hitomi!" She turned, startled at the voice of someone calling her. It was a little girl. Hadn't she heard that voice before? She tried to move towards it, but in front of her was a large hedge, impossible to get through. "Where are you?" She called, the curiosity inside her making her think of nothing else. "I'm here!." the voice was muffled, ".in the garden! It's behind the hedge! There's a way in!." Hitomi strode around it, searching for the entrance. "Where?" She shouted. "There's a door." Hitomi stopped as she arrived at a small wooden door, painted a bright cheerful red. Without hesitating, Hitomi lifted the latch, and bending down slightly, entered the garden. She straightened up, looking around her. The first thing she saw was the apple blossom. The beautiful heart-shaped petals of pink, drifting in the wind. It was like the tide. The next thing she saw was a little girl, sitting on a white bench. She was holding some flowers, muttering furiously, picking the petals of each one. Intrigued, though somewhat worried, Hitomi slowly edged near, until she could hear words with the muttering. "Forgive me," the girl picked off another petal. "Forgive me not. Forgive me." She picked another. There were only three petals left. "Forgive me not. Forgive me." She picked the last petal, and stared at it as though it where a death sentence. "Forgive me not. Hitomi," Hitomi gasped and stepped back. The girl hadn't seen her, so how could she know? The girl let go of the petal and watched as it was blown away by the breeze. "Hitomi." She repeated, and turned to look at her. Hitomi faced her gaze, though felt as though she should be running instead of staying here, with this insane little girl. "Um, are you playing a game?" She asked politely. The girl shook her head. "Oh no, Hitomi. You know we're not allowed. We know too much. If you wanted to play, you should have closed your eyes." "What do you mean?" "Seer. All of us are cursed! All of you." "You know me." Hitomi frowned, confused. "But I don't know you." "Yes you do. Surely you remember me, this little girl who has hurt you so badly. Asharmi. That's me." "Asharmi.?" Hitomi came nearer, and carefully, warily sat next to Asharmi. It seemed stupid to be afraid. She was just a little girl. But once again, Hitomi was being reminded of things she didn't know. "You.mean something," She said, searching for the right words. The little girl nodded. "Yes," she sighed. "Because you can't remember can you?" "Remember what?" "Remember the power you had. The power inside you. Remember this." She held out her hand. Hitomi gasped. "How did you.?" Inside the palm of her hand lay Hitomi's necklace. "The person who gave this to you loved you. He still does." "He?" "Yes. In the Zone of Absolute Fortune eternal love was born. You can't help it, you were born to do it. Remember him. Van." Hitomi gasped, and stood up, fear invading her. That was the same name she had said when she had first found the necklace. How did this girl know? "Who are you?" She asked, her voice tense. Asharmi ignored the question. "He couldn't take over all the power you had, so he's gone. He's gone in search of someone else. But he'll be back for you, Hitomi. He's going to get you. You have to remember before it's too late," she said quietly. Asharmi's words sent a chill down Hitomi's spine. Why would anyone want to hurt her? "You mean Van?" She questionned, though she knew knowing the name of her enemy would make no difference. Her 'illness' made her weak and vunerable. She could barely walk, let alone fight. Suddenly realising the true extent of her vunerability, thousands of fears and worries came to haunt her. She tried to push them away, to hear what Asharmi would say next. Asharmi smiled sweetly. "No, silly." For a second, Hitomi saw a child, not a seer. Seers don't have childhoods, they can't close their eyes. Poor Asharmi. Asharmi's gaze focused on someone behind her. Sensing their eyes on her back, Hitomi turned to face whoever it was. The man who stood before them held a knife. It glinted in the sunlight, the same way the insanity glinted in his face. He was holding it ready to strike Hitomi down. He could kill her at any second, but Hitomi didn't move. She could only stand, and stare, mesmerized by the man's eyes. "Look, Hitomi," said Asharmi, still smiling. "A nice man with red eyes is here. Isn't red a pretty colour?" The man smiled, and Hitomi said nothing. She wanted to scream.
Asharmi jumped, and awoke, gasping. She lay there in the dark of her new bedchamber, breathing heavily. What a weird nightmare! But why should she be worried? It couldn't be a vision. She wasn't a member of the Circle now. She wasn't allowed to have visions. No reason to think any more of it. She had a new life now, and Hitomi was on the Mystic Moon. Hitomi was safe..wasn't she?
