Chapter 2: Is that HIM?
The light was blinding and I could only cower back against the wall. They were back: the awful people with the whips and kunais that were dug into my skin every day. I wrapped my arms around my head and whimpered. Ever inch of my body burned and I knew I would never be able to stand again. I heard the steps of a single person grow louder as they grew closer. I winced when it stopped. I knew that more pain was going to come. However, I heard the sound of ruffling clothes and a soft thump. I looked up and saw a familiar face: the blue eyes with the dark circles and the red hair. The kanji for love was new and it was the body of a man. It was the boy. The one everyone called a monster. He was kneeling next to me. I was shocked and he looked just as shocked. His eyes shadowed over and he stood.
"Why is she in here?" the boy from my childhood asked. His voice was so calm yet strong that it chilled me. I watched him in wonder like I had when I first saw him.
"She's dangerous, Kazekage-sama," a man said who stood outside the door. I recognized his voice and it made me want to scream. I was surprised, though. The boy who was so hated by everyone was now Kazekage. I stared at him. His eyes were still shadowed over, though.
"What's going on, Gaara?" asked a female voice from outside the room. "Is she okay?"
"Temari, clear out a room in the hospital," Gaara said. "I'll bring her over myself."
I heard someone run down the hall that was next to my prison. Gaara kneeled next to me again and reached a hand towards me. I reacted without a thought. I moved away from his hand because I didn't want to be hurt anymore. He flinched and stopped moving.
"No more," I whimpered to him. "I… don't want anymore pain…" I pushed myself up to my knees, but only fell back down. I didn't hit the cold metal floor, though. Gaara caught me.
"You won't be touched by them again," he whispered to me. I felt him lift me up, but I passed out before I knew what else was happening.
