o.0 omg, I had actually made a chapter 12! Where did it goooo?!?! u.u bah. Ah well, hehe retype! Wuahaha! this chapter is alllll Peraru, it goes to the song, Rest in Pieces – Saliva, yes, it's a song fic at the moment, but no worries, just this one. But hey, don't complain about his abilities, it's a fan fiction after all
"Rini!" He called out as he franticly checked each room now, having gathered some more strength, wincing softly as he grasped his chest, feeling it heave heavily due to his lack of breath from the stairs. Why did people make so many stairs?!
'Stupid, she can't hear you!' he thought with a low sigh and opened a few more doors, which one was hers? He had guarded her some times while she slept; she had so many nightmares growing up. But she wasn't in her room. Opening the door that was once hers and raising a brow, it was now seemingly someone else's chambers, shrugging softly and carrying onwards down the hall.
It hurt, not just his outer physique, but inside. Oh the pain he had felt for years..
"Oh sorry!" she said as he realized he stepped on something, or someone, and glanced down quickly moving away reflexively. As his gaze lowered, he saw a black cat lying there on her side. No mistake, not even needing to see the crescent shaped moon on her forehead to recognize her "Oh, Luna you too?" He whispered and knelt down, wincing all the while and scooping her up as she slept peacefully.
Look at me My depth perception must be off again, Cause this hurts deeper then I thought it did. It has not healed with time It just shot down my spine
She purred slightly in her slumber and he couldn't help but smile, but glanced ahead, only a few more doors. Grasping his chest again as he winced, he knew peoples dreams, it was a blessing ad a curse he bore. Helios was the protector; he merely observed and helped when he could...so many dreams. Children's were sweet, like candy. Innocent, pure and true, sometimes they were darkened, but always would turn out for the better in the end.
That was the blessing the curse was this, finding his hand grasping another door handle he winced as he closed his eyes tightly and tried to fight the memories of them away. Of people being hurt, beaten, raped, woman screaming, people dying. As terrible as these were only a chosen few caused him more pain then anything else...
'I love you..' her words would whisper to him, softly, caressing the gentle air that suspended around them, they embraced together, in one that seemed would never end.. "Helios.."
The door handle rattled beneath his hand as it turned quickly and swung open, sending him off balance and falling to the ground quickly.
You looked so beautiful tonight
Reminds me how you laid us down
And gently smiled
Before you destroyed my life...
He coughed slightly, tasting a tint of a metallic substance in his mouth..Oh god, he was coughing up blood! This wasn't good was it? Feeling sick but then heard a soft stir and glance dup, seeing a hand gently resting over the edge of the white blanketed bed. Soft and smooth, slowly he made his way to his knees and bit his lower lip as he started to stand, the higher he was, the more he could see. The first thing he noticed was her pink hair.
"Rini.." he whispered, stepping forwards but grit his teeth as a wave of pain hit him, visions of her dreams entering her mind..oh, the pain, the pain of love. He distrusted and loathed the word, the meaning, falling to his knees as he cried out in pain and grasped his chest once more, every beat caused him agony..wishing it to just cease its functions and leave him at rest.
Could you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces. . .
He stood once more and walked towards her weakly and sighed as he watched her sleep, seeing the small circle of crimson that stained her soft flesh and her dress just above her heart. Reaching forwards and taking her hand into his and smiling softly.
"I made it in time...I know how to wake you princess...Your..love isn't here yet I'm afraid." He sighed glancing towards the window and seeing the vast sky before him, darkening as it started to fall.. "you have little time. If he doesn't come, I will try alright? I don't want to see you trapped like this..to see you in pain causes me the same only three times fold. "He sat and waited now, each beat still hurting him, feeling as if he was dieing inside as ever tick of the clock was heard.
Only one hour left, he glanced towards the darkness that enveloped the outside world, much like that in dreams. "he wont make it.." he glanced to Rini and watched her as she struggled, more and more her wound opened, digging closer and closer to hr heart, he tried to make her comfy, leaning forwards and moving her pillow slightly, another rush of her dreams swept through him and he gasped, falling forwards and closing her eyes tight, grasping his chest and biting his lower lip until it bled slightly.
Look at me, my depth perception must be off again,
You got much closer than I thought you did,
I'm in your reach,
You held me in your hands...
He felt something warm and repetitive touch his lips gently with each rush and opened his eyes slowly, looking before him to see her. Her breathing was shallow, but gentle upon his face. He felt for her more then anything in this life, for once kiss..just one. He couldn't move, frozen in place as she winced at her pains, her dreams disturbing now, ones of death and dying..no..she couldn't die! It was to soon for her..her pink lips were so close, this was agony! Oh to be more then just friends! To tell her...
He leant forwards a moment, then closed his eyes and shook his head, backing away and sitting down on a chair beside her bed. Looking t the half opened drawer, he smiled and saw his old flute..she had kept it..
He reached for it and winced softly, feeling weak, feeling empty..alone..but for her, he would make her have sweet dreams, even in these times of peril. That was his job..
Placing the flute to his lips he closed his eyes and played for her a song like none he ever played, from the heart. Sweeping through the room and into her mind, and her dreams. Settling them and calming them back to those sweet and innocent ones she loved so dearly.
But could you find it in your heart,
To make this go away,
And let me rest in pieces?
(Let me rest in pieces)
Would you find it in your heart,
To make this go away,
And let me rest in pieces?
(Let me rest in pieces)
The flute dropped to the ground, its fragile make shattering as it hit the ground and he slouched forwards in the chair, he couldn't do it..he couldn't try to break this curse, it only worked once. It was just like the fairy tales, a mere kiss and she would awaken, but he had to realize he loved her, and sacrifice those feelings to awaken her..
This was a cruel game the world played, she would awaken, love in her heart for whomever kissed her and awakened her, whether she loved them or not. He couldn't do that to her, but the irony of it all! Helios, once he came..would loose his feelings for her. Everything. But if he kissed her, he would come here, loose her and return to the dream world a wreck, and everything would stay as it was, dark and bleak..beings like them were not meant for love, they were meant for tools for others to use. He never complained..until now.
He was to weak to even look at her, but he knew she was happy, her dreams of 'him' had returned.
"You'll be the death of me yet...but I love you for it..why wont this..stop.." his voice trailed off to a faint whisper as he slouched over a bit more in the chair and his eyes closed slightly. "I wish to forget..you.." he said softly as he slowly started to lean towards her, giving in and giving up, if he had to live without her, he wanted to at least forget these feelings that were so strong. With just one kiss..they would be.
Could you find it in your heart Could you let me rest in pieces?..
