BLEEDING ANGEL
AN: I do not own Card Captor Sakura
Chapter 8
The wind played with my white curtain, it danced with each other under the colourful moonlight and I found a small smile resting on my lips. The silver, blue and purple light from the moons lit up the sky in a masterpiece of colour. I could feel the excitement of the planet, of the people , of the children, running through my veins.
This will be the last night of light. The last night of a spectacular show of nature playing with the colours of the universe. Tomorrow comes the day all Pretorianers long for, the day all Pretorian children wish for every year. The earth might be one of the most beautiful planets in the universe, but their nights are not parallel to ours.
I've spent many warm days on earth in search of that girl and I can still remember the bright blue sky of the day, smiling down on the planet and its inhabitants. Soft pink blossoms from large trees kiss the people walking under the trees as they fall down to earth.
The night colours crept into my room through my open window and came to a rest on my half naked body. I watched the light stroke my skin on my chest. My eyes closed when the faint sent of vanilla and mint washed its way into my room. I imagined the light to be her fingers gliding over my skin, the warm wind her soft breath playing on my face.
The memory of us dancing slipped into darkness as I fell asleep.
Surprised I looked up into the pleasant darkness surrounding me. Again, there again… A drop of water falling down to the dark ground. Confused I looked around for the source of the sound. My eyes and mind filtered through my surroundings and came to rest on the figure clad in the black nothingness.
Slowly I neared the figure; my naked feet stepped into a cool pool. As I walked closer the pool of water became warmer with each step. Confused I looked down.
Blood!
This was not water, but blood. What could have possibly caused so much blood to spill on the floor? I looked up at the figure and bit back a surprised yell.
How?
How was this possible?
In front of me was a naked woman with wings wrapped around her. Wings trying to protect her fragile body. Another drop of blood fell down to the ground and joined the mass flowing around my feet. I swallowed hard when I looked at her.
The pure white wings where now drenched in the red liquid and her body was folded double as she clenched her hands over her stomach. Her blue hair fell in lifeless locks over her bare shoulders.
Her empty black eyes opened and she smiled down at me. My heart raced in my chest. She knew who I was, she knows what I am. I could feel her knowing eyes search my soul for something I myself do not know yet.
She smiled at me and painfully unwrapped her wings from her body. My eyes fell to the two hands clasping her stomach. She pulled her hands away from her body. I stumbled back at the sight. Two large gashes were clearly visible in her abdomen and the blood slipped from the wounds down to the floor.
I became aware of her warm hand resting on my cheek. I looked up and found her face close to mine. Her bloody wings held her just above the blood soaked ground. That strange smile still played on her face. She leaned closer and closer as each second passed. Her warm breath played on my face and my eyes closed as I surrendered to the protector's touch.
The guardian of our people, the angel of death…
Her warm breath played on my lips. My body burned when she kissed me. My heart burned with agony and pain, yet I could not find the power to pull away form her. I could not find the power to resist her will.
My mind drifted to the girl. Her smiling face played before me and I felt the pain strike my heart with more force. This would never happen if she kisses me, if Sakura kiss me. My heart won't be torn to shreds; my soul won't ache for relief.
Energy rushed through my blood and I pushed the angel away. I wiped my lips as I stumbled back. Disgusted I spit her taste form my mouth and she smiled at me. Hate for what she made me do ran through me and she closed her wings around her body. Still carrying her strange smile she drifted back into the darkness leaving me alone in the middle of the pool of blood.
"LI!"
AN: I told you the Angel will be back. The fun is about to begin people! And what do you make from that kiss? Hmm… Is it a prophecy? A curse? A blessing? Or none? I won't tell, you'll have to wait for the answer in one of the upcoming chapters.
This will be my last update for the next month or so. As I told you before, exams are coming up and I'm going to give it my full attention. So, until the next update! (Please don't say 'update soon' it's not going to happen! I'll know who read author comments and who doesn't. Ha-ha!
Thank you so much for the reviews, I loved them as always.
