Wu's Fate
Episode 7: A Farewell Song?
" This is my song..." Mi Xun announced. " It's my good bye song...to you all." The audience began to talk amongst themselves.
" It's not because of anything lord Sun Jian did...it's my own decision...For a friend's own good...So that...my pain can be eased..." Xiao Qiao got up and left to get something.
Gan Ning and Lu Xun scurried across the stage placing different colored, cut wine bottles that looked like cups without handles with candles inside. Lu Xun lighted the candles after they were set(The freaking pyrotechnician that he is). The different colors from the wine bottles gave off a dim light that made Mi Xun glow ever so slightly. Then, the music started again...
" I know that you're hiding things...Using gentle words to shelter me." Mi Xun walked slowly to the front of the stage. Lu Xun and Gan Ning walked from backstage into the crowd. " Your words were like a dream, but dreams could never fool me...Not that easily."
Mi Xun walked to the right side of the stage. " I acted so distant then, didn't say goodbye before you left, but I was listening!" She hung her head. " You'll fight your battles far from me...Far too easily."
" 'Save your tears cause I'll come back.' I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door." Mi Xun said looking at Gan Ning, her eyes were about to give out and let her tears fall. " But still I swore to hide the pain when I turn back the pages...Shouting might have been the answer..."
" What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart...But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart." Mi Xun sang as she walked slowly over to the left side of the stage.
" Though a thousand words...Have never been spoken, they'll fly to you crossing over the time and distance holding you...Suspended on silver wings." Mi Xun sang while she moved to the center of the stage.
" And a thousand words, one thousand confessions will cradle you. Making all of the pain you feel seem far away. They'll hold you forever..." Mi Xun sang before she walked to the back of the stage.
" The dream isn't over yet...Though I often say I can't forget...I still relive that day..." Mi Xun sang as she moved to the front of the stage.
She turned to look at Zhou Yu. " 'You've been there with me all the way...' I still hear you say." Lu Xun moved closer to the stage to get a better view of Mi Xun.
" 'Wait for me, I'll write you letters.' I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor...But still I sworde to hide the doubt when I turn back the pages." Mi Xun spun around and walked to the left of the stage.
" Anger might have been the awnser...What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait...But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late." Mi Xun sang looking directly at Zhou Yu. Gan Ning smiled as he heard her sing those lines and walked over to the other side of the crowd.
" Oh a thousand words, have never been spoken. They'll fly to you, they'll carry you home and back into my arms..." She turned to look at Lu Xun. " Suspended on silver wings!"
Mi Xun sat down on the stage and threw her legs over the edge of the stage. " And a thousand words...Call out through the ages....They'll cradle you..Turning all of the lonely years to only days...They'll hold you forever..."
" Die." Xiao Qiao returned and aimed a bow and arrow at Mi Xun and launched it at Mi Xun, the arrow flew with such great speed that Mi Xun had no time to dodge. The arrow and lodged itself in Mi Xun's right arm socket, Mi Xun fell backwards on the stage gripping her arm in much pain crying out loud.
The audience gasped and turned to look at who had shot the arrow. They saw that it was Xiao Qiao, she seemed to have snapped. " Lady Xiao Qiao!"
" Lady Mi Xun!" Both Gan Ning and Lu Xun ran from the crowd and jumped on the stage to Mi Xun's aid.
" You...guys...ugh...." She let a few tears slip from her eyes, she gripped her shoulder. " Is this how it feels to be hit...with an arrow?"
" Shhhh...Lady Mi Xun." Lu Xun tried to stop her talking as Gan Ning yanked the arrow out.
" AH!!!!!!!!" Mi Xun screamed as Gan Ning ripped it out of her skin.
" Xun, get some bandages." Gan Ning said as he held Mi Xun up. She was crying in pain....Lu Xun got up and sprinted towards the infirmary inside the barracks to find some bandages and then ran back to Gan Ning.
" What is the meaning of this?!" Lord Sun Jian cried out. " Why did you shoot her Xiao!"
" She was trying to get Zhou Yu...." Her head was facing the ground...Her ponytail was out so her hair was covering her face. " She tried to take my husband away..."
" That doesn't give you the right to shoot her Xiao!" Da cried out.
" It doesn't matter...She'll die and then I won't have to worry..." Xiao laughed.
" ...." Zhou Yu got up from his seat and punched Xiao in her chest, the solarplexus, or whatever that spot is causing her to faint. " Mi Xun didn't do anything for you to do that." A tear slid down his cheek...He knew that he did something wrong by choosing Xiao Qiao over Mi Xun.
Lu Xun and Gan Ning quickly pulled the curtains closed so that they could bandage the wounded Mi Xun.
" You okay?" Gan Ning said as he finished the bandaging. " When the arrow hit you...You fell like a rock...We weren't sure if it had killed you or not."
" Lady Mi Xun...We're glad that you are alright." Lu Xun said as he smiled at her.
" Thanks...I have two more songs though...I guess that arrow gave me a few songs that I wanted to sing." Mi Xun said and laughed a bit.
" Zhou Yu!" Sun Ce ran from the stage to where his buddy was standing holding on to his knocked out fiance. "Mi Xun's being bandaged behind the curtains."
" Let's go see if she's okay." Zhou Yu said as he placed Xiao Qiao in Da's arms and raced Sun Ce back to the stage.
" Is she alright?" The man with long black hair opened the curtains and approached the wounded, but bandaged Mi Xun who was resting on Gan Ning's lap.
" She's taking a little nap...I guess that arrow took more out of her than we thought." Gan Ning said as he moved some of Mi Xun's bangs from her eyes.
" She's never been in battle so that's the reason she's out." Sun Ce said as he closed the curtains. "The candles are still on."
The candles still glowed creating a strange glow around the group of people. It sorta made the moment as if it would last forever...as if Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and Sun Ce wouldn't go to war in the next two days...as if Mi Xun wouldn't run from the kingdom...As if Lu Xun would never have to deal with heartache...
" Uhhhh?" Mi Xun opened her eyes to see Zhou Yu staring at her. " Lord Zhou Yu..."
" I'm here..." He gently picked up her right hand in his left and gripped it. " Don't worry...We're all here."
" Hhhhhuhhhhhh....." Mi Xun fell back asleep.
" She'll be out for another thirty minutes...Zhou Tai?!" Gan Ning screamed amazingly he didn't wake up Mi Xun.
" Yes. Gan Ning?" Zhou Tai approached through the shaddows.
" How'd you get there?!" Lu Xun squeaked out of fright.
" I've been standing here ever since you two came to help Lady Mi Xun." Zhou Tai said before he walked over to Gan Ning. " What do you want me to do?"
" Order for some of the servants to bring some food and refresments for our audience." Gan Ning said as he looked back at Mi Xun.
" Don't forget to tell the servants to bring some food for us." Sun Ce added.
" Your wish..." Zhou Tai quickly left and came back.
The group could hear servants rushing in with food and handing out refreshments, soon a young girl probably not any older than the age of 8 approached the group of men that was huddled around the fallen woman.
" My lords...Here is your food and refreshments. I hope you like it." She bowed politely and ran off.
" Let's see...Sticky rice and mangos?! YEA!" Sun Ce grabbed a plate of the dessert. "MMmmmmmm..." Sun Ce managed to say as he took a spoonful of the sweet treat.
" Becareful, if you aren't watching Sun Ce will eat all of it." Zhou Yu laughed as he picked up a cup that was already filled with green tea.
" Lord Sun Ce, he acts like a child when you least expect it." Lu Xun said as he reached for a plate of the dessert, a hand quickly reached out to stop his hand from grabbing the plate.
ZhouMiXun: So? How do you like it? . I'm trying my hardest to make it seem as if they are all a big family.
