Chris- OMG! Im so sorry everyone for now updating faster! I got such a
brain block so I began other sotries, then forgot this one, and now I feel
horrible. I really should just take up some time in the day just for
writing. Im so sorry!
For the news. I recently got everything of the anime FAKE. DVD's, and all the manga's. Major plus. I also began reading other manga's like Angel Sanctuary and Eerie Queerie. So exciting. Just got the DVD's for Angel Sanctuary too, very good, except they skip. Gotta spend another $5 to fix them. Dammit! -
Nothing else really... not anything related to anime at least. Well, continuing!
Chapter 9
The kids both sat in the living room drinking their soup down and chatting slightly. Nothing big, just small talk. Everyonce in a while he would hear them mention something about him, but neither seemed to have come to the conculsion yet.
' And thats fine with me.'
It wasnt that he didnt want them to know who he was, but he liked his solitude in the real world. He liked being to himself, and if they found out, he was half worried half excited.
To his worried part, he began to think he would never get any privacy. The kids would want to be around him in the real world also, taking him away from his silence. The excited told him otherwise though.
He would be able to be a half parent again. He would be able to spend time with kids, like he always enjoyed. Everything would be like it was before.
' Dont say it.'
Sighing, he layed down his cup and looked back in the living room. Mimiru and Sora had stopped talking, laying still on the couch. Standing, Bear slowly made his way toward them, being as quiet as possible.
Both were asleep peacefully. Reaching down, he gently nudged Mimiru, waking her slightly.
" Whats your phone number hun." He whispered.
She mumbled it out before drifting off into a soundless slumber once again. Standing back up he made his way to the phone, repeating the number so not to forget it. Quickly he dialed, trying to think of the right words. He wasnt exactly liked in the town.
" Hello?" A male voice said into the receiver.
" Hello, I have your daughter here. It was raining and I was worried she would catch a cold. Do you want to pick her up, or do you want me to bring her home?"
The man seemed to pause for a moment before responding. " Who is this?"
Turning to the kids, Bear squinted his eyes. They may still be awake. At least enough to hear him talk. " You know me, the man on the hill."
" Yes, well, I cant leave right now. As much as I... dislike my girl being out, she has a little brother, and I dont have a vehicle."
Bear could hear the mistrust and distaste in his voice. Sighing, he held the phone closer to his ear. " Alright, I will drop her off. Can you give me an address."
Taking it down, Bear mumbled a small goodbye and hung up. It wasnt a surprise, most people mistrusted him. Rumors had spread fast after the incident, causing most of the town to hate him. Not that he cared very much, it just got frusterating after a while.
Walking upstairs, Bear shook his head. He was getting a slight headach, probably from stress. He had a new book coming out soon, and if he didnt get it done by deadline his edotirs were gunna be pissed. Not that they were ever NOT pissed, it jsut got them even madder. Why cant anyone have patience anymore?
Bear still wore the heavy overcoat, warming his body. The hous ewas cool though, as usual, so it didnt faze him much.
The house had to be in its hundreds by now. It was a trusting mansion though. He had fixed it up nice and sturdy, and every year he made sure to check it. It wasnt going to fall apart on him like everything else had done. Plus, all his good memories were stored up in the building.
He didnt remember much before he was in his teens. He lived with his mother and father, and had six other brothers and sisters. The middle child of them all, Bear didnt recieve as much attention as the rest. His younger siblings were growing up and becoming smarter, while his older siblings were already up there and getting praise for success. There wasnt much room for him, so most of the time he just sat in his room and read.
Video games werent the thing for him. He didnt much care for them, neither did he TV's. They only rotted the brain in his own opinion. Thats why he didnt allow one in his home, and his wife had agreed.
' Cressida...'
Shaking his head Bear stepped into his room. The kids would be cold on the trip. Though it was only a short ways away he didnt want either of them to catch a cold. The rain hadnt stpped all day and it didnt look like it was about to.
Grabbing two more coats, a little big for the kids, he turned, facing the wall. A picture frame stood there, glaring dwon at him.
It was a family portrait, Bear, Cressida, and their beautiful kids.
' Kara, Joice, Miriki, and Kio...'
They had been beautiful. Kara three, and Miriki six. Joice had been seven at the time, and Kio, fourteen.
In the picture Bear held Miriki and Joice in his arms, the kids staring happily at the camera. Koi stood next to Bear, hands in front of him in a silent stance, awaiting the blinding flash. Next to Bear in rich cusioned seat sat Cressida, holding Kara on her lap. They were all smiling, enjoying the day they spent together.
Bear stood outside the Hobering Cafe, eyes searching. They had been gone longer then he expected. Cressida had said she would be right over, and it had already been a little over an hour.
Grabbing the pay phone Bear dialed her cell phone, but to answer. rowing more and more anxiouse by the minute he trugged outside, hands jammed into his pockets.
The rain pounded down on him, unforgiving. With one arm sheilding his face he made his way down the road. If they were heading toward the cafe, they would curly see him walking and stop. The least he could do was go a little ways and meet them halfway.
He had been traveling for a little over twenty minutes when he had seen it.
' No, god no.'
Ambulences, police, and doctors surrounded the area. Most were waving away passing cars, allowing them to go by.
' Please, not a white car. Dont let it be them.'
Stepping over, Bear peered over the yelling officer, his eyes going wide.
Wetness shook him out of his memory. Looking down, Bear wiped away the tear that was slowly trailing its way down his cheek. Shaking his head, he cleared his face, stepping out of the room.
' No time for that.'
" Bear!"
His head shooting up, Bear saw Mimiru clutching onto Sora, the young boy holding a shaking finger away from them. Turning, Bear was met with the metel of a gun.
" I wanted my money, and you didnt listen."
Mimiru screamed, sheilding Sora's head under her as a gunshot rang out into the night.
Chrisy- And as usual I leave cliffhangers. I have to though, its my job. Well, not much else. Review!
