Misery
Ch. 15
I woke up, the sun shining in my eyes.../My eyes/ I shot up and ran to the bathroom. I sighed when I saw that my eyes were their normal sky blue
color. "What...happened last night?" When I tried to remember, a quick, piercing sound hit my mind first. I staggered backwards then looked in the
mirror again. What I saw scared me. "Not again..." The sound was back. I fell to the floor, trying to scratch the floor. Anything to get my mind off of that
horrible sound. "Dammit...go away..." Tears ran down my face. I let out a pain-filled scream. I wanted this pain to end. I heard several footsteps and
then my door slammed open. "Kai!" I couldn't identify the voice but as that someone picked me up, I knew who it was.
The sound died away as I opened my eyes to look into Reno, Cloud and Tifa's worried eyes. "Kai! You okay?" Reno asked me. "The sound...it's
gone." "What sound?" I heard Cloud ask. He gasped. Tifa looked at him. "Cloud?" His eyes shifted back and forth. "Cloud?" Tifa ask again. "Hm?"
"What is it?" "It's nothing." /How can she...she doesn't have geostigma.../ I sat up, my eyes focused on Cloud. "Cloud, everything alright?" He looked
up like I'd scared him. "Oh...yeah..." "You sure? You seem a bit uneasy." "Yeah. I've got something to attend to. I'll see you guys later." I watched Cloud
leave the room, knowing he had seen something and didn't want to tell the rest of the group. I sat up, Reno helping me. "Easy does it. How you
feeling?" "Good I guess." I stood up, almost staggering back. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw someone outside my window. "Who the..." I scoffed. "Ch..." By the time Reno and Tifa looked, he was gone. /Yazoo...what the hell...is he doing here/ I guess I must've had a dark, hateful glare in my eyes and on my face because Reno asked very carefully, "Hey Kai. You okay?" I turned to him, looking happy. "Oh yeah. I'm fine. I'm hungry. Shall we get something?" "Yeah. I can get you something from the 7th Heaven." Tifa said. "Sure. Let's all go." "Okay." Reno said.
