CHAPTER 4:
"Arisa-sama! Arisa-sama!" the servant went running up the stairs to wake up the young woman. "It's so terrible!"
THe young woman hastily got up, slid her robe over her nightclothes and fumbled to pin her hair. "What's the matter, Xie?" she worriedly asked as they race out of the room. Arisa looked out of the window by the stairs and saw the moon at its fullest, perched atop the tall trees. There wasn't even a slight stirring outside and silence ruled everywhere except for te padding of their feet on the carpet.
"Arisa-sama, Clow-sama is..."
Sensing the urgency in the servant's voice, Arisa allowed herself to be led to where her savior is. They ran outside to a small woods at the back of the manor. Coldness reached Arisa's naked legs, but she dare not stop. Something must have happended to Clow.
Suddenly, Xie the servant stumbled on a fallen tree branch and fell down. Arisa rushed over to her side. "Xie!" she said. "Come on, we must hurry."
"Please go, Arisa-sama!" the servant pleaded. "I think my heel was sprained."
"Oh no."
"Please help Clow-sama, for the love of God." The servant burst into tears. The light priestess patted her shoulders.
"Don't worry, I'll get master back. Where is he?" She stood up and helped Xie sit up before rushing towards the woods. The servant told her that Clow was last seen in a clearing.
A clearing was not far away and Arisa ran to meet Clow. Suddenly she stopped, eyes widening. Slowly, she stepped into the clearing. Clow was lying in the middle of the open field, huddled as he strove to wrap his cloak about him. The priestess kneeled beside him, cradled his head and wiped his brow as he continued shaking. "Clow-san...why are you here..."
Before she could finish, a cloaked figure walked into the clearing. Arisa looked up and saw that it was a woman. Her tiara was black, as well as her jewelry. She was dressed in black fur which swayed about her as she lightly laughed at the figures on the ground.
"I see you had asked somebody for help, Clow-sensei," the woman sneered. "Too bad she won't be of any use. Even the Light Priestess won't be able to take away my gift from you."
"Lady Hina," ARisa softly addressed the one who spoke. So this was the woman Clow told her about. She was the one who bestowed this curse on him. "You call this a gift? This is a curse you've weighed down upon him! How can you do such a thing to your mentor?"
Hina laughed at the priestess' comment. But my dear priestess, I was only taking what was mine. We had a bet, he lost, and this is the reward. Besides," she bent down to catch Clow's face in her hand, "isn't it enjoyable to be with me and make mortals suffer?"
Clow Reed, with much difficulty, looked up. "I would rather be a mortal and die," she slowly said, "than suffer hell for eternity."
Lady Hina's brows met as she released her hold on Clow. "Despiccable mortals," she hissed. "Why do you care for them when you have powers unfathomed by everyone?" She straightened herself up and looked cajolingly at Arisa. "Let us see what you can do with your powers, but don't tell that I didn't warn you, since you might be his next victim." With a throaty laugh, she waved and walked away, leaving in a mist of shadows.
"Clow-san." Arisa cradled the sorcerer on her lap. "How are y...Clow-san?" She felt the grip on her arms tighten as the sorcerer strove to stand up. Arisa studied his face and saw fangs slowly peering out from the corners of his mouth. She crept back in horror, and Clow also pushed her away.
"Stand back!" he shouted with much difficulty, as the pain searing through his veins almost numbed him. "I can't let you come near me. I can smell your blood, so don't come any closer. I...I cannot guarantee your safety."
Arisa looked down on her arms. Angry marks burned her skin from where Clow gripped her. Confused at what to do, she bit her lip and called out to the man. "Clow..."
"I said go away!" Clow shouted. "Run as fast as you can."
The priestess stood steadfastly to where she was standing. "And you," she coolly asked. "What are you going to do?"
The sorcerer turned away and started walking. Arisa rose and hurriedly caught up with him, her night dress flapping in the wind. "Are you going to look for innocent people and drain them of their blood? Are you just going to feast on some bystander..."
"I can't help it!" Clow sank to his knees and brought his hands on his head. "This..." He turned around to face Arisa. "This is my curse. It wasn't my voluntary decision to make people suffer because of this..."
"Then drink from me."
"Arisa-sama?"
"Sate yourself with my blood," Arisa quietly said. She walked up to the sorcerer.
Clow backed away. "But...I can't do that. I was the one who saved you."
"Then let me save you," Arisa replied. "If you continue living like this, you'll become another monster, a criminal. Besides, I have offered my assistance to you. I think over normal people, I can handle blood loss better."
Clow could feel Arisa's pulse, the rush of her blood. It was appealing to him, reaching out almost to his fingertips. Yet control he must have...but the urge and desire was too strong.
Pale arms wrapped around his neck and ARisa's fave leveled with his. "If you would want to lust for blood, then lust for mine," she softly said. "Do it."
"Arisa-sama..." he managed to choke out amidst the rush in his head. "I..."
"Please do it, Clow-san. hurry!" Arisa had her eyes closed, her voice urgent as she chided on.
"I...cannot..." Clow could feel his hold on himself weakening. He raised his hands and placed them on Arisa's back.
"Do it!" A sudden flapping of wings ruined the silence, the noise of wings hiding whatever happened on the scene below.
+++
A scream pierced the silence of the Daidouji mansion. Tomoyo hastily threw herself away from the mirror on her dresser. She landed on the carpet with a soft thud, and was brought to reality.
It happened again.
she was just combing her hair, smiling at her reflection, when she was flung into a vision more terrible than her visions before.
Arisa...Clow's blood partner.
She shook her head. It was horrifying, that incident. She didn't see what happened in the end, but she could feel Arisa's pain when Clow sated himself with her blood. If only visions don't come to her like that!
She stood up as she remembered what she had to do. These visions are visiting her because of Eriol Hiiragizawa. If she helps him from the curse, she won't have problems anymore, and at last, she'll have a peaceful, normal high school life.
Entering their attic, she caught sight of the thick book fitted into one of the shelves. She pulled it out and studied the velvety cover. Strange symbols were carved all over the cover. It was maroon in color, and the pages were yellow with age.
As Tomoyo opened the book, a faint message came to view on the first page:
Use these secrets wisely and well,
Beware of each and every cast spell
For thrice the consequences might be
And will reach out their evil arms to thee.
This is it! Tomoyo thought. The book of spells. Hurriedly, she scanned it to look for a certain spell that can help Eriol.
+++
"Tomoyo is so acting weird today," Sakura murmured to herself. This is the first time she'll be walking to school alone. Tomoyo said she had to be absent from class because of a previous engagement. "Ah-hah..." Sakura sighed. "I wonder if what she has to do has anything to do with Hiiragizawa- kun?"
Sakura stopped short when she saw an unfamiliar face within the school grounds. She walked up to the person. "Hello!" Sakura greeted. The young man almost jumped out of his own skin and looked at Sakura, his face riddled with embarrassment and almost fear.
"Anou," Sakura asked again. "Are you looking for someone? You seem to be new here."
Brown eyes flashed and then looked away. "No...I'm not...looking for anyone in particular."
Sakura looked inquiringly at the young man. "Then..ah! Don't tell me you came here to steal something! Or..maybe you're a perverted spy! Waaaah!"
"H...hey wait!" the young man hurriedly said. "I didn't say that!" Blushing furiously, he ran out of the school gate.
"What a weird guy," Sakura loudly observed. "Didn't he know what a joke is when he hears it?"
+++
Eriol slowly walked home. He need not take a cab because the sun had already set. Also, he wanted to think about his would-be saviour Tomoyo Daidouji. Why was she absent from school today? Was she already fed up and decided to flee from him?
He sighed deeply. If only the curse did not ended being on him, then he wouldn't have his problems...
his thought began to dim as a black car stopped beside him. "Hiiragizawa- kun!" a familiar voice called out. He looked towards the car windows.
"Daidouji-san?"
"Come with me, I want to show you something."
+++
"This is..." Eriol stepped into the circle. They were in the rooftop of an abandoned building near Tomoyo's home. "You have..."
Tomoyo patted the book that lay on a pedestal. "Much thanks to this, I was able to find the spell to cure you of your curse."
"But...I thought the spell had to have too much preparations..."
"I had them prepared...today." Tomoyo lighted the candles surrounding the circle. She got hold of a wand and opened the book. "Now, do you want to go thru with this?" she asked.
Eriol was confused. "But Daidouji-san, ar you sure you know how to activate the portal and call out the..."
"All I have to do is chant, right? After this, you won't bug me anymore, ne? Now, to get rid of those visions, I've been having lately, let's go on." She dragged Eriol by the arm to the center of the circle. Then she went to her pedestal, opened the book, and chanted the spell for the opening of the portal.
Eriol stood, not a word was said anymore. After all, he'll also benefit from this. After this, he'll have a quiet life, and he'll not disturb this girl again. He closed his eyes as Tomoyo called out spirits and chanted words unknown to the common language. He looked at Tomoyo, who was like in a kind of trance. Closing his eyes once more, he let himself be swept into the spell. This is it, Eriol, this is finally it.
A warp oval appeared behind Eriol and Tomoyo. The purple-eyed girl dropped her wand and went to the vampire. She slashed a bit of his arm and let the blood trickle into a little bell-shaped crystal cup. "Goddess Amaterasu, our Earth Mother..." she called out as she let the blood drip into her hand. The blood miraculously congealed itself tightly into a little scarlet ball. Tomoyo, half in a trance, walked to the portal. The portal shone in red, black and blue and opened to a big gaping hole. Tomoyo raised her arms to let the monster by the gate feed on Eriol's blood.
"Tomoyo, no!" Eriol jumped in front of her and tried to stop her. "Stop!"
Tomoyo woke up from her trance and stared in horror. Eriol was fighting with the dark beast behind the gate. "Hiiragizawa-kun! What are you doing?!"
"The spell!" Eriol winced as the dragon-like beast clawed at his arm. "The spell is wrong!" The dragon whipped at him and he was thrown back forcefully. Tomoyo ran up to him. "The spell..."he faintly said.
"What do you mean the spell is wrong?!" Tomoyo asked in panic. She could see the monster letting itself out of the portal, and advancing towards them. If they don't close the portal soon, different monsters will go out of the portal and might harm human beings. "What is wrong with the spell!" Tomoyo shouted.
"The monster behind the portal," Eriol said, his voice lacking energy, though his eyes were wide as he saw a foot of the monster creep out of the portal. "The monster is supposed to be the legendary Fenris wolf! He's not a wolf, is he?"
"Oh God!" Tomoyo picked up her wand. "We've got to stop him! Can you?"
Eriol stood up with difficulty. "I could with my sword, but...I haven't fed for days and...I'm feeling...a sword conjured up on his hand, but was dropped again. Eriol was too weak to do anything.
The cadles were all blown out and the portal grew bigger. Tomoyo shook with fear. If it gets any bigger, then she would probably be the unluckiest priestess alive. Eriol was too weak to do anything, and she cannot find any spell to stop the demon monster from getting out of the portal. She looked at Eriol and held his arms, supporting him, as the monster let out another forefoot out of the portal. The elemental waves supporting the hole was weakening fast, and Tomoyo do not know what to do anymore.
Suddenly, she had an idea. She helped Eriol sit up. "Eriol, drink from me."
Eriol's eyes opened, his blue pupils widening. "What?"
"Drink from me!" Tomoyo insisted. "Look, this was all my fault this happened. You said you can defeat the monster if you can drink blood. I'm offering myself now."
Just like her vision, Tomoyo felt Eriol's hold on her tighten. Fangs began appearing on his mouth. "I can't do this..."
The young woman closed her eyes. "We have no other way, now do it while I can still think happy thoughts!"
"Tomoyo..." Eriol could feel his blood boiling, his knees shaking as this woman openly offered her warmth to him.
"Do it!"
Eriol hastily bent down and sank his fangs on her neck, sating himself with her blood. Tomoyo let out a scream of pain tearing her veins. Suddenly, all she could see was black and she cannot feel anymore.
TBC...
Author's Notes: Ahahaha...that was not much of a mystery, ne? I kinda made the spell for the portal short, since I know all of you are expecting this fic to be long, then most probably you'll be expecting that this spell is a blunder ne? Also, I really really suck at doing descriptions, so forgive me if I did not make a good picture in your mind regarding the spell. Maybe when I edit it..well...
Oh BTW, Songs Without Words is down for editing. Those members of my ML, or those going to my site, you won't find continuation of it or anything. I'm making an optimized, longer, more grammatically correct version of the fic (I kinda made it a favorite, since it was rejected by others...hahahaha!) Anyway, I'll just post the new chaps in my site and in my group so please check it out probably during Xmas vacation, ne?
Please visit my site, too Y__Y Thanks!
