Memoirs Of A Fallen Man

Chapter 3:

Light's end, Lights beginning

(Tomoyo's POV)

It has been a week since my Father relieved the mass Murderer of his Demon. I'm still scared from what I saw and every day I visit the shrine of God and ask him to let me sleep at night. Mr. Eriol hadn't awaken from his deep slumber, from all the blood he lost I am surpised that he is not yet dead. But questions still run threw my mind. Why did he come here? Where we his next targets? And the Bandits, what of them? I have tons of un-answered question.

I walk into my shop after giving Miss Yori some tea to relax herself at night.

I had been checking on Mr. Eriol for some time, he stirrs and mutters words in a forgien language. I wonder why? He beautiful features shows a sweet lost boy but am I must remind myself that he is a killer. I pray that God will save his soul. I walked into the room and looked at his face, he seemed to be having another nightmare. Does he not have a peaceful dream?

I walked to my counter and got some water. I went to the bedside and dipped a spoon into the water and brought it to him lips letting the little drops of water drop into his mouth. Eriol reacted to the water in his mouth. I continued to drop water into his mouth hoping it would help him in his nightmare. I stopped and sat the bowl on the night stand next to me and walked into my shop hearing someone come in.

I really didn't feel like tending to my shop I just wanted to watch Mr. Eriol. To see if he does anything. My Father wants me to be on guard when I am around him.

As I handed the bag of ginsing to Mrs. Hibeki, I closed my shop after she left. I had to stay forced on what I was doing. I walked into the room seeing Eriol sitting up rubbing his neck. "Sir, your awake." I said walking in. He looked at me in a frown. I really didn't care as much. He opened his mouth to speak but I stopped him:

"Don't speak." I said walking over and hand his a cup of water. "You mustn't talk whist like this. I checked your wounds early, they are healed."

Eriol looked down at the water and them to me. I chuckled. "Don't worry I didn't put anything in the water, I don't have to."

He still seemed on guard too. Mmm, I would alos, but I looked away putting up my jars of ginsing. I turned around and say back next to Eriol. Eriol finished the contents in the cup and sat back. He looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't, So I began thinking of a way.

(End of Tomoyo's POV)

Tomoyo sighed and looked around her little hospital room. "Ah, you can write down what you wish to say." Tomoyo said walking over to her counter taking a quill, a ink well, and parchment. Tomoyo handed Eriol these and he began writing. Tomoyo looked down at what he wrote:

How long have I been asleep?

"It's been a week." Tomoyo answered. Eriol sighed and looked down at the quill and began writing:

I want to leave.

"I can't let you go, My Father is not ready for you to leave." Tomoyo answered. Eriol rolled his eye and began writing:

His not even your Father.

Tomoyo looked at what he wrote and sighed standing up. Eriol's midnight blue eyes followed Tomoyo as she walked to the window looking out at the Holy Pond.

"I know, but he is my adopted Father and he loves me like a Daughter." She answered. "I shall return, I must tell my Father that you are awake, I can get you to the baths, that'll help your healing." Tomoyo said walking to the door and left leaving Eriol to the parchment in his lap. Eriol sighed and set the ink, the quill, and the parchment on the night stand and took the covers off his legs. They felt heavy but he was determened to leave this town and continue his walk into deaths door.

Eriol's feet touch the cool wood floor making a shiver go up his spine. Eriol winced at the pain running down his leg but he ignored it and continued standing and walking out the back door. "Where are you going off to?" Clow said opening the door with Tomoyo behind him. Eriol stopped in his tracks and looked back stepping away from Clow as he walked to him.

"You needn't be afraid of me." Clow said with a small smile. Eriol swallow hard trying to speak. "I am . . . not . . . afraid." He said with a growl. Eriol couched falling to his knees. The danger episode of Eriol's coughing made blood come out of his month. Eriol stood up and spat the blood out looking to Clow. "Give me my Key." Eriol said in a normal voice.

"Now, Now young man, you mustn't use this Key, it needs to be cleansed of Black Magic." Clow said walking closer. This time Eriol didn't move he was formulating a plan of escape in his mind. Eriol turned around and looked out the opened door. 'This will have to do.' He said and let himself fall to the floor as if he fainted.

"Sir." Tomoyo cried running over and lifting his head and then felt his pulse. "Oh, he just fanited." Tomoyo said. "Must be overwhelmed." Clow said picking up Eriol and sitting him back on the bed. "Let him rest." Clow said looking down at him. Tomoyo walked to the door and opened it letting her Father walk out first. "Father, do you think I should have somone watch him?" Tomoyo asked shutting the door. "No, everything will work out for the better." Clow said with a grin.
