Mirror
by Keruseyu
Chapter 7
===
-_-! I'm running out of things to do to Kel! Let's see, she gets killed in Lady of the Fairies, she gets raped in Taken, she gets her voicebox ripped out in Taken, she gets abused in Mirror, and NOW I just made her commit suicide! AHHH!!!!
===
She was soaking in oblivion, blackness closing around her.
She thought it was the end.
===
'Beep... beep... beep...'
Kel's eyes opened slightly, taking in a white room. She turned over sleepily. 'Stupid beeping thingy...'
Why was she in a hospital? The memories from the night before flew back to her. She threw herself upright, staring at her wrists. They were both bandaged up to her shoulders, blood dotting through the cloth. Weakness hit her like a sledgehammer. She fell weakly back onto the bed.
Kel tugged at the wraps, pulling them below her elbows but keeping her wrists covered. She saw the blood seeping through her carved words.
'Dad. I love you, despite all you've done. No matter what, I'll always remember when you acted as a father. It's probable that you hate me nowadays, but I hope that maybe you have a small piece of the father I used to know inside you still. You used to be a good man, and I suppose you could eventually revert to that. But until then, I can't take this abuse anymore.
Goodbye.'
Kel fell back on the pillows. 'Odd... It didn't seem THAT sappy when I wrote it...'
She closed her eyes, falling into a deep slumber.
===
Kel woke once more, staring into deep green eyes.
"Are you okay?" Neal asked, eyebrows raised.
"Never been better." She replied dryly. "Suicide's just a regular part of my schedule, you know."
Neal rolled his eyes. "You really ARE better..."
"Neal..." Kel stared out her window.
"What?" He asked sympathetically.
"What... happened to my father?"
"He..."
"He's not in jail, is he?"
"Um..."
"Spill."
"Let's just say... He followed in your footsteps."
===
A brown-haired figure knelt by a tombstone, weeping into a kerchief.
Neal, Alanna, and their friends stood in the backround, all but Neal and Yukimi scowling.
"How can she CRY like that?" Alanna whispered fiercely. "Her father was a bastard!"
Yukimi stared at the small figure. "Family meant much to her. She never had anyone but him after her mother left."
"But he-mmff!" George, Alanna's new-found boyfriend, placed a finger on her lips. "Quiet. Let her do what she wants."
===
Kel gripped the knife carefully. Neal leaned against the doorframe, keeping a firm eye on her. Yukimi stood slightly behind him, clutching a first aid kit.
The brown-haired girl moved the knife steadily up and down, cutting the scars her suicide message had left out of her skin.
Yukimi rushed forward, tending Kel's wounds.
Neal raised an eyebrow. "That's it?"
She grimaced. "Just didn't want to wear long sleeves anymore. I was getting sick of it."
For the first time since she had come to grips with reality three months before, Kel smiled.
===
Nothing can hurt,
I've got nothing to hide,
So guess what, reflection?
You aren't that scary anymore.
===
YAY! It's over, over, over! ^__________________________________________^!!!!!!!!!!
