Chapter 8: Emerald, Dreams, and Stained Feathers
Kai's Point of View-
I still sat under the tree, I had been here over an hour. Thinking.
About her.
/ Why doesn't she trust me? /
/ Master...you don't talk so much either. /
/ Dranzer/
/ Yes. You like keeping everything to your self, why? /
/ Let's say I don't like sharing. /
/ Master, is it because you want to show them you are strong/
/ Leave Dranzer...please. /
/ After all that has happened to you in the past, you still want to show them your strong? To show them you have no weakness? /
/ The things that I keep to myself, I keep secret. I'd like it to stay that way, Dranzer. /
/ I understand, Master. /
She left, and my mind wandered over to Sapphire again. Maybe that was her reason. I have my reasons, she has hers. I can't force her to tell me everything.
But I need to know. I want to protect her. I want to see her smile.
The others may think I have no heart, but I do. I only show emotion to the ones I'm close to.
And I keep wondering, maybe she has suffered like me, or worse. That's why she doesn't like to show emotion. Because it makes her look weak. Because everybody else can see you.
And you want to keepyourself being hidden.
You've created a room to yourself. A dark room...which there is no door, thus, no entrance. Nobody can touch you...nobody can see you. You just block everything. Nobody bothers you, and nobody can come and save you...from the prison you have build around yourself.
"Don't worry...I'll save you, Sapphire." I whispered to myself, and stood. Then I started to walk towards the house.
/ I will save you...so I can see your smile again. Because I know you are meant to smile and laugh. /
I smiled as I entered. I had my head hung low so that most of my blue hair was covering my face. Nobody could see that I was smiling.
I will only show emotion to the ones that are like me.
I stopped in front of my room, then I glanced back at Sapphire's door.
In Sapphire's Room...
Sapphire's point of View-
/ Where am I? /
/ I've taken your place. And I have given you mine's. /
/ What? /
/ Let's just say you don't have a body anymore. /
/ I...I don't understand... /
Everything was so dark, I couldn't believe someone could actually live here.
/ I don't care how strong you are. Don't you dare hurt anybody, Emerald. /
/ Heh...it's too late. I'm already taking over. The process has already begun. I will take over completely in 2 hours. And nobody is around to help you...you closed the door behind you...remember? /
My eyes widened. Nobody would be able to save me.
But...
/ But the door isn't locked. /
/ What? /
/ Once they hear you, they will come in. It won't matter to them if it's closed or not. /
/ How can you be so sure they will come? As soon as I take over, they won't recognize you. /
This was true...last time this happened...he didn't recognize me...
But it was his fault to begin with...
Because...he...created her...Emerald...
Outside Sapphire's Room...
Kai's Point of View-
I stood in front of her room. Her door was closed, but it wasn't locked.
/ I want to see her again... /
I walked closer to the door, and put my ear next to it. There was no sound...
/ Maybe she's sleeping... /
"Sapphire? Are you awake?" I said, hoping she was awake.
There was still no sound.
Inside Sapphire's Room...
Sapphire's Point of View-
"Sapphire? Are you awake?"
My eyes widened...If only he could open the door, he might save me...
/ Just open the door, Kai... /
I felt tears starting to form at the corners of my eyes. Emerald smirked.
/ He won't come and save you...That's too bad. /
My body was still lying on my bed, motionless. Emerald was slowly being sucked into my heart, and the process was less than halfway complete, so he still had time to run away...I closed my eyes to trap the tears that were about to fall.
/ Please, don't hurt him...don't. /
/ I won't hurt him...I'll kill him. /
Outside of Sapphire's Room...
Kai's Point of View-
There still was no answer. I felt disappointed at first, but then maybe she's really tired...so I decided not to bother her.
I walked back towards my room. As I entered, I glanced at the clock.
'9:45'
I changed clothes, and crept into my bed. I turned off the lamp next to me, and laid in the dark, thinking about her.
She was so much like me.
I fell asleep a few minutes later. Dreaming about...her.
Dream-
'Sapphire?'
She turned around, with a sad look on her face. Like always, she was holding in her tears.
Even though I knew I had done nothing to hurt her, I still felt bad.
When she looked at me, she smiled. I smiled back, and walked towards her. She smiled even more, and as soon as I was in reach, I hugged her.
She leaned against me, and touched my cheek. She put her hands around my neck...She pulled me down...
I felt her breath on my cheek-
Then everything grew dark.
I couldn't see her anymore. She was gone.
My hands felt cool, and wet. I looked at my hands.
They were covered in blood.
White feathers sorrounded me...
...the feathers emitted a soft glow, then they vanished.
Only one of the feathers had didn't disappear, and I held it in the palm of my left hand. I wondered how it got there.I didn't see it before.
It gave a small glow like the others, and was the only one that wasn't stained with blood.
Everything went dark again...
Dream-
It was about 11:47. And I had woken up to some crashing noises.
I jumped out of bed, and ran towards the noise...which seemed to come from Sapphire's room.
I walked towards her room. Everything was dark, except for the light of the full moon coming from the windows. The moon was partly covered by the clouds.
I opened the door, and found Sapphire in her Firefox form, tearing up her bed covers with her sharp teeth.
The walls were scratched, the curtains were torn off it's hangings, the window was broken, and her bed looked like it had been thrown into the wall, tearing up the white wallpaper.
She looked up at me. Even in the dark, I could see the color of her eyes. And they weren't the normal light-blue.
They were a dark green, with a tinge of red. Her coat was no longer scarlet on black, instead, it was a dark black on a deep red, almost like blood.
This wasn't Sapphire. She wouldn't act like this...Or would she? She did keep alot to herself...
Then she walked towards me, with a smirk on her fox-like face.
Her black claws grew longer, and she stopped in front of me. She lifted her paw above her head, ready to strike.
I just stood there, looking up at her, unable to move, unable to think...trying to imagine she wasn't really going to kill me...
Sapphire's Point of View-
/ No! Don't hurt him! /
I struggled with the chains, and they finally came off. I still wasn't in control, but I had to fight her someway. This time, I will prove her wrong.
I am strong.
I gathered the last bit of my strength...I took some of the control, but it wasn't enough to control her completely.
Emerald shrieked with pain as I forced my paw to dig into my stomach instead of Kai
At least...he's still alive...
Kai's Point of View-
She dug in to her stomach, making her coat more red. Dark blood, her blood, spilled on the wooden floor.
She screamed in pain, and backed away from me, crashing into the wall behind her, hiding in the shadows.
The only things I could see were her eyes, which were now a dull green. Her eyes slowly turned back into her light-blue.
Then, something began to emit a white, blinding light.
The clouds moved out of the way of the moon, so I could see her.
I saw her as she transformed, her face was human-like again, and her hair was the usual scarlet. Her clothes were soaked with her blood, and three, deep gashes were visible on her stomach. She was standing on her knees, her head hung low, her bangs covering her face.
I ran to her, and caught her before she fell to the floor.
I laid her head on my lap, and turned her. Blood poured out of her wound in her stomach, and I grabbed the cover she had shredwith her teeth earlier, and wrapped it around her body. I pulled her closer to me, but she started to push me away from her. Her eyes were a dull silver, and they were half-way closed.
I could only see her because of the light that came from the full moon that night...
"Kai, let me go...I need to-"
Then she began to give off another blinding white light.
A clock in the house chimed Midnight again, and I suspected what was going to happen.
But I knew I was wrong as I saw her transform.
Sapphire's Point of View-
I was cut off, and that's when I realized that it was full moon. I had forgotten all about it.
If the full moon hadn't been tonight, I could never be able to control Emerald. She could have destroyed everything. She could have killed Kai.
I felt my familiar white wings on my back.And thewound in my stomach started to heal.
My long silver-gold-like hair had landed all over the place...
AndI felt my memories rush back to me-
Father raised his knife over his wife...
Emerald trapped in a tall, glass container...
The feeling of the speed of Fei's beyblade...
Him...stroking my cheek...
I opened my eyes.
A boy was there...he had blue hair...
And I couldn't remember this boy...who was he?
/ I think I've seen him before... /
Kai's point of View-
She was the girl from my dream.
I stared at her in surprise. She still had her light-blue eyes, but her hair had changed.
It was no longer scarlet. Instead it was silvery-gold. She didn't have the two scarlet fox ears on her head.
White wings had appeared on her back. She was wearing a long, sliver-white dress. It covered her whole body, even her feet.
She still had the same face, but she looked like she didn't recognize me.
"Sapphire?" I asked her.
She looked at me surprised.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"What?"
She searched my face, and then she closed her eyes, thinking.
I pushed away her silver-gold hair from her face...
Sapphire's Point of View-
I felt his fingers on my face, and then I remembered everything.
...The blue marks on his face had faded with the rain from yesterday, and I rubbed one of the triangles on his left cheek. He didn't look so serious or angry now.
I saw myself caressing his cheek, and my face reddened. I quickly pulled my hand away.
His eyebrows furrowed together for a moment, then he turned over the other way...
...I fell out of the tree, and landed face-down on the floor. I looked up at him.
"What did you do that for!" I yelled at him.
He sat cross-legged beside me, picked me up, and sat me close to him. He pulled me close to him, so that my head rested on his lap. I looked up at him in confusion.
"I'm sorry." he muttered. He rubbed a cream he had brought with him on my left ear.
"It's okay." I mumbled back...
...I felt his hand stroke my cheek. His fingers felt warm agains mine's, and I felt myself smile. I leaned against him.
I felt him pet my other ear, and with his other hand, pulled me closer to him. I felt warm and safe...
Everything that had happened the last two days came back to me. I leaned against him, happy that he was there. I felt myself smile.
For once, I was happy. Emerald won't come back in a month. She had to regain strength, and since my wings made me pure, she could not enter my heart. I hugged him, and he hugged me back.
Kai's Point of View-
She seemed to remember, and suddenly she hugged me.
Then I remembered my dream.
I felt myself redden.
I smiled and held her close to me. I felt the feathers of her wings.
Then I remembered the other part of my dream. I hugged her tighter.
I secretly kept hoping it wasn't her blood.
Then I looked down at her stomach.
Her wound was gone, but there still was puddles of her blood on the floor. She caught me staring.
"My left wing helps me heal. That's why my ankle healed extremely quickly."
I looked at her. She stared back at me. She was smiling.
I loved her smile. She made me feel like the happiest person on this stinking planet.
She put her hands around my neck, and pulled me down-
"Uhhh...guys?"
And...That's one reason why I hate Tyson.
Normal point of View-
Kai and Sapphire pushed each other away, trying to avoid being seen together.
It would stab both their prides.
"What's with the thrashed room?" Max asked.
"I never knew Sapphire could go on a rampage." Hilary said, giggling.
Kai stood and leaned against one of the scratched walls.
"Mind explaining?" he asked Sapphire.
Sapphire was still sitting on the floor. She pouted.
"Sure. Why not? It's easy for me to give out my secrets like Halloween candy..." she said sarcastically., with another smile.
Author's Note-

They glared at each other.
"You expect me to tell you everything?"
"Maybe."
"Just leave me alone. I don't even want to talk about it."
She started to walk away, but Kai grabbed her wrist, and turned her around. She glared at him.
"You have to stop running away from your problems!"
She stared at him with a bored expression.
"Riiight. Well...if you don't mind, I think i'll be leaving now."
But he held on to her wrist. And held on tighter. She turned around and glared at him.
"Let go. Now."
He smirked. That's when she became mad. She yanked her hand away from him.
Then she grabbed the scarf around his neck and tied it all around his head.Fianally, she stuffed the end of his scarf in his mouth.
His head looked like it belonged to a dead mummy's.
