Chapter 8: Stolen
Tai had no idea how long he had been sitting next to Takakura, crying. It seemed that the whole world was against him, trying to take everything. Well, they had it. Everything he cared about was gone, stolen, and lost. They won. They had stolen everything and now he had nothing to live for. Nothing at all...
Muffy was sitting next to him, tears in her eyes as well. Tai had no idea when she had came in there with him. All he could remember was everything he had lost.
"Tai, I'm so sorry," Muffy choked, stairing at the lifeless body of Takakura. Tai just sat there, stairing at Takakura, tears climbing down his face.
"Why...why are these people...killing me like this!" Tai finally cried out, hugging himself. "They've taken everything! Everything! I have NOTHING left! NOTHING!" He sobbed uncontrollably. Muffy rubbed his back, trying to calm him.
"Tai, they've haven't taken everything..." Muffy told him, continuing to rub his back. "No...Jason and Celia are still alive and you know it. You can still save them...all you need is a little help and confidence."
"No, Muffy," he countered, finally calming down. "I've already let them get my family. All I'm going to do is cause more trouble and probably get them killed as well." He looked down at Takakura. "Look. Takakura was slaughter because of me. I'm just a worthless faliure-"
"Tai stop it!" Muffy shouted, standing up. "Your not a failure! It's not your fault! Those people killed Takakura and kidnapped your family for a reason! They want something from you!"
Dark and alone, cold and lost
Tai staired at Muffy for the longest time. She was right. But, I'll just fail again! They'll just die!
I wish I could change it all, to not be alone anymore
Tai glanced at the deceased Takakura. He had to save them. But I'll kill them! They'll be dead because of me! It's all my fault...
The rain just won't let up, the relazation is just too strong.
Tai got on his feet and looked down at Takakura. Tears wielded in his eyes.
Everything is lost, stolen, from me
It was just too much for him.
Never to be found again, forever lost in darkness
He turned away from the fallen Takakura and Muffy and ran out of the cabin. Tripping over a branch, Tai just layed and cried. Everything was to much and everything seemed to be against him.
Tears of truth fill my eyes, everything is real, not a dream
I...can't do this, he thought to himself. He raised his head. But, I'm the only one who can save them. He stood up and wiped the tears from his face and eyes. He turned around, confidently, and walked back into the cabin. Muffy looked up and saw him.
"I'm going to save my family," he annouched, picking up the sickle next to Takakura. He layed his hand on Takakura's shoulder.
"Watch over my family, Taka," he whispered. "Don't let them hurt my family." Tears wielded in his eyes once more. "Goodbye, my friend." With that, Tai turned from Takakura's body and looked at Muffy.
"Are you with me or not?" he asked, with a smile. Muffy smiled.
"You're doing the right thing, Tai," Muffy told him. "Takakura would have been proud." Tai smiled back at Muffy.
Together, Tai and Muffy exited the cabin, ready to save his family.
Stolen from me, everything gone
But not lost.
