Title: Trapped
Story
She was being pulled in the darkness. No matter how much she tried to struggled. She couldn't move. Something was wrapped around her waist, trapping her hands to her side. The other snaked though her neck to her mouth. Silencing her. Her eyes wide and trembling with fear, she jerked them around. But there was nothing to see. She seemed to be in the depth of an endless black void. The grip tightened, she felt the blood stop. Squeeze… as though a sharp knife plunged across her lungs, she found it hard to breath. She tried struggling, shutting her eyes tight, concentrating all her strength on just getting away. But the more she tried, the weaker she felt. She was growing numb due to the stop of blood circulation. Tears streamed down her eyes as her mind start to weave with unconsciousness. She opened her eyes slightly; sweat trickling down her forehead, merging with her tears. A small assure glow appeared like the morning star…growing brightly each second, it soon consumed the whole void, causing her to close her eyes again, soon the darkness consumed its place again, and she fell.
Mr. Daidouji put a trembling hand on the burning forehead of his grand daughter. She was death pale and weak. It had already been three days and she hadn't recovered. Each day the doctor arrived two times to replace the drips that kept providing nutrition and energy to her health. Dr. Osborne had advised that the girl should be shifted in London Medical hospital. He had promised to find the finer wards available. But Mr. Daidouji was still not in ease at the thought. She had just arrived in London and already was sick enough to be admitted to the hospital. She was too much like Nadeshiko. And the hospital had taken her away from him…he didn't want to lose her again…
Light glinted on the smooth transparent surface covering his eyes as his lips took shape of a sinister smile. Moving his head a little, sapphire eyes gazed with humor and wisdom upon an object, reflected on his specs, that object seemed to be…Tomoyo?
A hand traced the side of her face gently, caressing against her soft pale skin as salty tears continued to trail down her eyes. Wincing slightly, her head moved uncomfortably, searching for ease. He could feel her heart beating faster, feel her pain and emptiness. Brushing aside some strands of hair from her face, he spared one last glace on her, before slowly disappearing into thin air.
Sweat was trickling down her forehead. Eyes shut tightly. She nibbled on her lips and groaned, moaning in pain. Suddenly a loud gasp escape her lips as she sat up, eyes wide in fear and alert, her heart beating fast and faster every second. She panted for a few seconds, staring straight in horror, trying to calm herself down. Erase the memories that continued to flash through her mind. Her lip was bleeding slightly; she must have bit it in her dream. Seeing no one about, she closed her eyes, still panting but in a more tame pace. She ran her slender fingers through her dark locks, thin layers of tears brimming in her eyes, trailing down her cheeks and on to her neck as she grabbed her head with both hands. She sat still for a few minutes, breathing heavily. Suddenly she looked up. Eyes wide in fear at a sudden realization. Where was she..? A low chuckle attracted her attention. Whipping her face towards the source, her eyes grew wider still. It was as though someone had punched all the air out of her lungs. She felt her soul breaking down. No… He stepped closer to her, with each step, her figure trembled more furiously, fear clutched her heart, she wanted to bolt up and run as far away from him as she can. But somehow, she felt trapped, she couldn't move. Frozen in place. He was now near enough to reach out to her.
