Chapter 7
"Damnit Damnit Damnit." Cala had forgotten that Hiei didn't live here so why would he still be here? Now she was stuck in the house all by herself in the middle of a thunderstorm. And besides that she was scared out of her mind.
Her head shoot up. She had heard something. Sure It was a new house but floorboards creak. She rose slowly to see what it was. 'Oh God I hope it's not a ghost. Please make it a mouse or something.'
She reached the top of the stairs and jumped around the corner. The noise was coming from her room. Now she was sure it was real. And she had left her door closed too. She saw shaodws moving agaist the wall.
She slowly peeked her head in and saw a simple white cat. Cala sighed 'Thank god. Jesus, all this demon and witch stuff is creeping me out.' She picked up the cat and walked downstairs. She didn't have any markings or a collar one.
"Where did you come from? You're not wet so you had to have been in here for a while. Poor thing your lost aren't you. Don't worry until we find you a home you can stay here with us. I'm sure the guys won't mind."
Just as she said that the door slamed open. Cala jumped making the cat fly out of her arms and on top of the table. It glared at her giving Cala the hebbie jebbies. 'Come on its just a cat. Noting it can do.'
Cala got up and walked to the main room to see who had come in. Kurama walked in soaking wet. "Sorry I'm so late but I waited at the hospital to see if the weather would lighten up then I ran here."
"It's alright you can spend as much time as you want out. I'll be fine."
Kurama smiled then looked at the angry cat in the hallway. "Is that your cat?"
"No actually I just found it upstairs a little while ago. I thought we could keep it here till we found its owner, if it has one. Is that alright?"
Kurama nodded. "It's fine with me but just to warn you Hiei has a strong dislike for cats."
"Well that's too bad because I have I strong like for cats"
Kurama smiled. Whether or not she like the cat he knew she would keep it just to spite Hiei.
After that scare feast Cala was dead tired. "I'm Going to get some sleep okay? I'll see you in the morning."
Kurama nodded.
Cala dragged her self up the stairs closely followed by the large white cat. Spending the night in a pool of cold water was not exactly good for her. She felt like shit and she had a runny nose. She ploped her self on her bed then covered herself with blankets. What was that old midwife saying..something about sweatinga fever out.She was unable to continue her thought because she dozed off. The cat on her ankles.
::::::: Downstairs ::::::
Hiei walked in the door a little while after Cala went to sleep. He walked to the cabinet and pulled out a box of crackers. (I can't think of anything that he would actually eat. They don't have a freezer in a church.)
Kurama looked at him. "There's dinner if you are hungrey. Pasta."
"Hn."
"Are we going to skip the subject altogether or should we get right to it?"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Cala."
"Hn."
"She's all yours."
"Hn."
"I'm taking Cala's lead and going to sleep. You can stay here if you want."
Hiei nodded and watched as Kurama walked up the stairs.
He walked outside and jumped 15 feet into a tree branch. From there he could see both Cala's and Kurama's room. Satisfied that nothing would go wrong her wiped off mud and rain from the branch and closed his eyes. Waiting for sleep to come he emptied his mind.
:::: Cala ::::::
Cala was deep in sleep. Blankets over her arms and torso she turned moving the cat. But she didn't wake it. It had been awake all night. It rose up and walked to her head. It's blue eyes ,never blinking, bore into her mind.
:::: Dream Land ::::
Cala was lying flat on her back in the middle of an ocean. For some reason she wasn't sinking nor floating. Just lying. A cats-paw blew across her face and She stood up. Wearing a black unflattering gown she walked on water to a small hut. Then she was there still walking but now she was holding a silver ring that curved in soft silver up her hand to her mid arm.
Then she was standing before hundreds of people all yelling at her. The words were a blur to her. They held a burning stake towards her faces. She moved her head back and found herself before a fire. A preacher grabbed her by her black hair and pulled her head back shoving her face to a bible. She turned her head away and saw that it was her church. Her home.
Then she was back on the water. On a swing. Hanging from no where. Swinging over more and more water.
Dreams. Confusion. Terror. Face. Voices. Fire. Death. Despair. Magic. Dreams. Confusion. Time. Death. Fate. Destiny. Voices. Yelling. There. It. Was. Where. The. Voices. Where.
A dark corner under the sea. A woman. A white Angel. Or a Pure Avenger. Long White hair blowing even though there was no wing. White Ribbons braided in tightly flew even longer than her hair. A White dress Hit her knees. It was beautiful made of silk maybe. It laced up in the front fulling her figure in. On her feet were lace up shoes continuing past the dress. They curved into tiny points with tiny wings in the back. She looked like something she would see in a Greek mythology book. She put out her finger up and beconed Cala to come.
Cala was pulled under the water but she didn't resist.
Thoughts went through her mind that weren't hers. The womans.
Welcome. To my world. To the world created by my mother. A tangle of thoughts and confusion. Showing the truth that You can see in my eyes. That was all true. She didn't nothing. She tried to save me. But in the end I was dead. She cursed the weak mortals and the shoke. Fearing death they could do nothing but send their fears away by banishing her to the furthest corners of their minds. Death. In the end she was burned at the stake. Vowing revenge she gave her life to me even though I was supposed to be dead.
Cala was now above water in the sky clouds and doves circled every where.
With much more power that my mother I am able to simply live forever. But only in my world. But every person who stays sees me. Sees the way their ansectors acted. And Flee. They flee from me.
:: But You have never seen the sky so blue. ::
True. But I have never seen pain run wild. I live in my mind. There is nothing I fear Nothing I can fear. This is the way people long to live.
:: But you have never even meet enough people to say what they want or need.::
True. But that is why you must tell me. Tell me what people are or aren't. Tell me what the sky so blue looks like. So I can paint this picture to be just like it.
::There is no way to describe things like this. Nor a way to describe people themselves. Wild and Free yet dull and tamed at the same time. See it for yourself. ::
I cannot leave. I will not leave. Leaving means death. And if I die there will be no reason to my mothers death.
:: I think you are afraid. You dress your self up in holy grab as if you have seen more than any other. As If you are the wisest But a simple child knows more than you ::
As this while they simply stood facing each other as the backgrounds changed.
Do you question me?
:: Yes I Do ::
Storm clouds rose behind her. I have lived for many more years than you. I have walked this world over a thousand times. I have no fears no qualms or worries. You will learn to fear my name You will fear the God of This Wonderland. You will fear thy name of Avaloan.
Then Cala's eyes opened and she saw the ice blue eyes of the cat. And the streaming light from the window. There was a rapping on the door and supposed that Kurama was out because no one was opening the door. Or so she thought she stood up just to hear the door open and Kurama's soft voice ring out.
She changed clothes and ran downstairs to see a tall white haired girl step in. She wore a white skirt and White boots once again. She caught the eye of Cala and dared her to say something.
"I belive you have my cat."
Cala raised her eye brows and looked to where she was looking. Of course. A pure white cat. Hers of course.
"Yes, sorry. We found it here. Do you by any chance live by here?"
"I live extremly close by." She looked at Cala her ice like eyes protruding. "In the woods. A small house. My mother's. You should come visit some time."
Cala was scared but more worried of what she would do to Kurama. And why she had such a nice cat. But then again she had come to visit her. Then it hit her. She had COME to visit her.
"OH how nice of you to come visit us. It must be nice for you to leave that small house."
The girl nodded. "Yes it most definitely is. And isn't the sky such a beautiful blue today? My name is Ava. Please do come visit me some time. Perhaps you could stay the night." Cala caught this meaning and nodded back. "And maybe you can bring your friend?" She nodded towards Kurama. "It would be nice to have someone new come to visit." Yeah a lot better than those tortured souls you bring to your land. Cala thought Ava left leaving a trail of white mist.
'Strange it's as if we never met.' Cala thought to herself.
"Want to explain how you know her?" Hiei asked
Cala spun around to see Hiei sitting on the windowsill.
"She isn't human you know. Something much more powerful." Hiei spoke as if he was actually ::gasp:: worried.
"She's what she wants to be and for her that's all that matters." Cala said as she walked inside. The sky truly was blue and she wanted to draw a picture of what it looked like. Grabbing a bag full of her painting supplies she climbed onto the roof and sketched out the scenery.
When heard footsteps and saw Hiei climbing up. "What are you doing"
"Painting what does it look like?"
"Like your sitting on the roof waiting for something to happen."
"Well I was hoping to will the lottery and find a pot of gold but besides that I simply want life to go on."
"And it isn't?"
"No it seems to have stopped right here."
"Hn."
"I'm sorry for that night."
"Hn."
"I didn't mean to sing. I didn't think that anyone was out there."
"Hn."
"Agh! Stop it with your hns. I want a staright answer. Will you forgive me or not?"
"Fine."
He leaned over towards her. Looking at her picture. "That tree is too dark. It looks black in comprision to to other trees."
Cala was working hard on her picture not really listening. "Raise your head." Hiei did so. "Tell me what you see."
"A dark tree in the middle light forest." Cala looked up. "And a white figure and A lone wolf in the middle of the prarie. Headed towards the springs."
Cala jumped of from ledge to ledge. She dropped her bag and paper and sprinted towards the springs. It couldn't be her again could it? And why was there a wolf with her?
