My Life

Year 2002 Part III Christmas Horror

Like everyone here you and I know how it feels when you imagine a day to go perfectly well, but then it goes horribly wrong… that it hurts to talk about it. Tomoyo on the other hand is just about to experience it… the sadness of it all, is it all happens on Christmas Eve… as the clock is ticking nearing Christmas Morn.

(Tomoyo's POV)

TOMOYO'S APARTMENT

The clock struck 6 pm I'm so excited every one of my cousins is coming today! To celebrate Christmas with us! Including Sakura and her brother Touya (13yrs?), Jade (11yrs old) and her sister Laurette (5 yrs old) and my Mother's other friends.

(KNOCK, KNOCK) I quickly shouted, "I'll get it" I grabbed the stool (not tall enough) looked through the peek hole to find my best friend/cousin Sakura Kinomoto! (And her parents and brother).

I happily opened the door greeted them and led them inside. I even carried the tray that had delicious smelling food, inside for them.

My Mother greeted them, "Hey!"

My Mother and Sakura's Mother are like best friends so it's kind of cool and we're cousins too which is even cooler! Haha well as you can already tell I'm so excited!

I asked my Mom, "Mommy can we play out in the Lobby?" My Mom nodded then continued talking with Auntie Nadeshiko (Sakura's mom) whiles my Dad spoke with Uncle Fujitaka (Sakura's Dad).

(Tomoyo's POV still)

LOBBY

Sakura, my sister Sakura (yea they both have the same names and the same middle name too! Sakura Blossom Daidouji and Sakura Blossom Kinomoto), Sakura's brother Touya and I all went out to the Lobby to play.

I grabbed my remote control Grinch and started playing with it showing it to Touya and Sakura.

Then a friend of mine came, her name is Solange, she isn't all that nice but what can you do? She lives just down the end of the hall. She has 2 older brothers and well we met her when she moved here.

Solange was really nice at first… and remember what I said about first impressions being wrong? Well they were because she treated me like a slave too! What's it with people and treating other people like doormats?

(Shrug) Whatever it is, she did the same today, Solange would always brag at what she had and put down what we had… and well today was like any other day so she made fun of my remote controlled Grinch.

"That thing is no fun! Let's play something that IS fun! Come on let's play Hide-'n-Seek!" Solange said (more like commanded), so we agreed and we all put our feet in a circle to determine who was, it.

"Oh I know a new one that we could use!" Touya exclaimed and was about to start the rhyme when Solange interrupted him, "Black shoe, black shoe change your black shoe." She sang and it pointed to her shoe she switched and sang again, "Black shoe, black shoe change your black shoe." And it pointed to hers again.

"Hey that's not fair you probably cheated!" I spoke up. Solange gave me a cheeky grin and said, "Prove it!"

I had no proof so I just turned to Touya and said, "Okay what was that new rhyme you were going to sing Touya?"

Touya smiled and said, "It goes like this:" but again Solange interrupts him and she continues on, "That takes too long let's just say Tomoyo's it!" I glared at her and disagreed, "But that's not fair!" "Who said life was fair?" Solange said with venom in her voice.

"She's got a point Tomoyo…" Touya said. "Ugh! Fine! 1…2…3…" I turned around and went against a wall with my back turned to them and the game began. Everyone ran around trying to find a place to hide.

"28…29…30 READY OR NOT HERE I COME!" I exclaimed and walked around to find them. I looked around, under, over, behind and inside things, but no luck. I sighed and then went into the laundry room and took a peek in there I smiled when I found Solange behind the door.

"I found you!" I exclaimed. She glared at me and growled, "No you didn't!" "But I did! I found you first your, it after I found the others!" I said. "No I'm NOT" she growled at me.

I sighed there was no use arguing with her… because I know I'd lose… Then I noticed someone under the table and found my sister, Sakura (I'll just call her Blossom so that I don't confuse myself).

"I found you!" I said. She smiled at me and nodded and she helped me find the others.

After the game of hide-n-seek my other cousins, Jade and Laurette came. I smiled and happily went inside with them, Sakura, Touya and Blossom went inside with me, and we told Solange we would be back just after we had finished eating.

(Tomoyo's POV)

TOMOYO'S APARTMENT

We said our grace and began eating… Yummy! Man was the food ever GOOD!

There were all types of food! My favourite were the cookies and the dessert haha! I loved them!

After eating such a delicious meal a friend of my mother's son dressed up as Santa Claus and we laughed for a LONG time because he did not look one bit like Santa, sure he had the beard and hat but he didn't have the suit and his hair was black! But we enjoyed ourselves none the less.

'Santa' handed out our gifts which included many accessories for me and a DIARY! A purple furry diary with a lock! Haha I was so happy I actually wanted one of these things.

After gifts we played some games! Haha they were so fun! We got prizes, if we won that is!

"Okay here Tomoyo here's your prize!" My mom exclaimed. I laughed happily and then things dies down now all the adults were talking I had asked my mother again if I could play outside. "Yeah sure" she replied.

Jade and Laurette had left with their family because they were going to the midnight mass so Touya, Sakura, Blossom and I were again left.

We invited Solange to play with us again. Touya went away to play with his new toys while we were talking.

Solange was bragging again, "I learned how to kick people's butts! My brother taught me how too!" "Are you sure about that?" I asked her angrily. She glared at me and said, "Yeah want me to demonstrate on you?" Blossom took her away and calmed her down.

Saku tried to calm me down, "Hey come on she can't do anything to you!" "Ugh I hate that girl she's so annoying! She's Argh!" I growled. "Here how about we write an angry letter to calm you down ok?" Sakura suggested.

"Haha!" I looked around to find people passing by were laughing at us. I looked and saw that Solange was whispering to those people saying weird things about Sakura and me. I got so mad I grabbed the piece of paper from Sakura and began my angry letter.

Dear Solange,

You need a brain check, thinking your better than everyone will get you nowhere I mean think what you want to think I mean it's your life to lead. I mean thinking you can beat everyone like you say you can, then I say go ahead I mean they're lies… but whatever floats your boat girl. You see my friend here has a brother that could kick your ass anytime! I mean he's strong and way better than you! I mean if I got pointers from him I bet I would be able to kick you sorry little ass to timbucktwo!

Merry Christmas LOSER!

From: Tomoyo

"Ah! I feel so much better thanks for that Saku!" I sighed happily as Sakura and I giggled at the letter I wrote and pointed at Solange every time we giggled.

Solange apparently got very mad because she got up from her seat and came at us. I told Sakura to get rid of the paper but Solange grabbed it before she could get rid of it.

Solange read the letter she got so mad her face turned red and she crumpled and ripped the paper and tossed it in the garbage can and ran for her suite.

I looked at her retreating form surprised… what just happened?

Saku and I looked at each other… confused. My sister glared at her and asked, "Now why'd you go on and do that for?" I shrugged and Saku and I played with Touya, then he went to the washroom leaving the two of us.

"Haha!" Sakura and I were having so much fun! We sort of didn't feel guilty about what we did because Solange was mean very mean to me especially. But I didn't feel well it felt like someone was watching me.

Then we saw Solange come out of her apartment and her eyes had this evil glint… I was scared stiff. Sakura looked at me and then turned around to see Solange. I could practically see fire in Solange's eyes and it scared me!

Sakura and I were too scared to move… Solange came at us closer and closer… you could see her red face twisted with anger and hatred and it was all because of the letter... my stomach sank… my heart was beating like a fast paced horse.

Suddenly her face twisted into a smirk she quickly grabbed a knife and… (STAB!)

The knife flew past my head and straight into the wall behind me… it was so close that I screamed!

I scrambled up with Sakura by my side and ran down the hall, I dared to look back to see Solange grabbing her knife out of the wall and start running after us. I was scared I ran into the stair room we were about to go on the elevator but it took to long and she was a fast runner.

After loosing her in the stairs we got out of the stair room and quickly got an elevator… Sakura looked at me and when I was about to get into the elevator Solange came in through the stair room door spotted me and the distance between the door and the elevator were five steps!

The elevator door closed and I ran for my life down the other side where the other set of stairs were. Solange was trailing right behind me. I had tears in my eyes I quickly ran down the stairs and back to the 1st floor where I met up with Sakura.

We ran up to my suite and tried to open it, but it was locked! Sakura and I banged on the door and screamed for help… but nothing came to our aid. Sakura and I were running out of ideas… Touya was nowhere to be found… we tried thinking of places to hide but nothing came to mind. Suddenly the door burst open and there was Solange standing at the end of the hallway scarier than ever!

Sakura started to cry… I quickly found a hiding spot I hid Sakura there, "What about you?" She cried… I just smiled sadly…that's all I could do. I ran out of the laundry room to find Solange coming at me with the knife at hand ready to strike me.

I gasped and backed up my eyes closed ready for impact, but none came.

I opened my eyes, "Oh!" I could see a figure holding her back. I recognised him as Solange's brother. "Get her out of here!" He called out. Someone grabbed my hand and ran for the stair room.

"There you should be safe in here." The boy who grabbed my hand said. "Thank you," I choked out. I found him familiar and realized he was Kevin a boy who lived in the apartment. He just nodded. I started to cry as I watched her brothers (another one came to help) struggle to get the knife out of her hand…

A hand suddenly landed on my shoulder as I gasped and look behind me to find Sakura there. I smile appeared on my lips behind the tears that rolled down my cheeks.

Soon the worst was over the brothers had successfully grabbed the knife out Solange's hand.

My parents than came out of the suite and saw the scene. They gasped and I started to run towards them, I cried and cried on their shoulders as I tried to explain what happened. My parents were shocked… they calmed me down, Auntie Nadeshiko and Uncle Fujitaka also comforted me and Sakura.

After all that I heard my parents have a strict talk with Solange's Mother, she apologized numerous times. I personally went to thank the brothers and Kevin and they just nodded.

Well that was another episode of my life…
