Chapter Thirteen: Tick Tock
"Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock," Hellax teased Michelle
"W-what are you d-doing?"
"Tick, Tock, you hear that?"
Michelle nervously nodded her head
"That's your life," Hellax said and tossed Michelle a pocket watch
"W-what's this?" she asked nervously
"Look at it," Hellax instructed
Michelle did as told. She slowly opened the watch. She expected to see numbers, but instead she saw words.
"What is it?" Michelle asked again
"Your life span, it's basically your fate. It tells you things like when your born, when you'll die, and, near death expierences," Hellax told
Michelle took a quick glance at the clock. She looked at the order of the words. It read:
Birth
Childhood
Near death expierence
Sin
Near Death Expierence
Teenager
Happiness
Regret
Death
"Your life is almost up, you know," Hellax stated
Michelle looked at the watch once more.
"What do you mean?" she asked
"You see childhood and teenager, right?"
"Yes,"
"But, no adulthood,"
Michelle once again looked at the clock, Hellax was right, it didn't read adulthood.
"How do I know this is MY fate, and not Halle's, I doubt it's mine, I've never sinned," Michelle yelled
"Look on the back,"
Michelle closed the pocketwatch and turned it over. Ingraved in it was, 'Laura Michelle Gerbec' her full name.
'I have sinned?' she thought. She thought of all seven sins through her mind.
'Pride. I don't really have much of that'
'Wrath. I doubt that's it'
'Greed. That sounds more like Halle'
'Envy. Possibly'
'Lust. I don't really have any desires. Except for hoping that I'll get out of here alive, but I don't think that counts'
'Gluttony. I don't obsess over myself. I'm far from it. I'm definently NOT a glutton. 'Sloth. That's probably it. I am lazy.'
"See, it's yours," Hellax said before chucking her another lifewatch. "That's Halle's,"
Michelle opened it to see what was inside.
It read:
Birth
Near Death Expierence
Childhood
Sin
Near Death Expierence
Sin
Sin
Death
Regret
--Smudge--
'So many sins, so many deaths. The only good thing is birth. Wait, regret? Did Halle regret giving away her heart?'
"What's this?" Michelle asked, pointing at the smudge.
"It doesn't matter, now does it?"
Michelle shook her head, and glanced at the watch again, trying to make out, what was underneath the smudge. She saw the hand move it's way down a little past regret, but not as far as the smudge.
"Why are you showing this to me? I thought our life was supposed to be kept secret until death,"
"Why would you think that?"
"So we don't try to go against destiny. So we don't try to stop ourselves from dying,"
"Well, your a prisonor. You don't have much choice do you? It's not like you can escape,"
"Oh..." was all Michelle could say.
Hellax grabbed another lifewatch from a nearby table.
"hmph,"
She tossed it over to Michelle.
"Her destiny is kept secret, no one can open it, except for her,"
Michelle saw that it had a keyhole in it. Apparently it was locked. She turned it around, to reveal the name. In cursive, the name read, Cynthia Tsuru Roberts.
Then Axel portaled in the room.
"So, how'd it go?" Axel asked
"Your right, she's the only one, who can see me, when I'm stealthy,"
"Good, so, we should send her invisible messages,"
"Why?"
"First of to tell her things, that we don't want the others to know,"
"And..."
"To make to her think she's going mad,"
"huh?"
"...and so her friends will think the same thing, and leave her side. She's easier attack alone,"
"What?"
"Well, when somebody sees things that other people don't...they won't think that it is normal,"
"Oh, I see where your getting at,"
"Good," Axel said while smirking. "DEMY!" he yelled in a sing-song voice
"OH, DEMYX!" he yelled again
"NUMBER EIGHT!" he roared
Demyx stumbled in through the door, panting.
"Y-" Pant "eh-" pant "es?"
"Summon some of your dancers,"
"Why?" he whined
"Because I said so,"
Demyx huffed and summoned five dancers. Then he looked around the room. Since he was one of the irresponsible members, he wasn't informed of the prisonor.
"What's going on?" he asked Axel, pointing to Michelle, who was tied to a chair. Her uper arms were tied to the upper part of the chair, and her legs were both tied to a leg of the chair.
"Uh..nothing," Axel said, pushing Demyx out of the door
"HELP ME!" Michelle yelled
Demyx dug his heels into the floor and summoned his sitar.
"Dude, it's not important, this doesn't concern y--"
"Silence!" Demyx said in a harsh tone of voice. The sudden change shocked Axel.
"DANCE WATER! DANCE!" yelled Demyx as he played his sitar. Water clones formed and clutched on to Hellax and Axel.
"Tell me what's going on, or I release her," Demyx commanded.
(A/N: WHOOT! GO DEMY-CHAN!)
"Fine..." Axel said, as he began to explain.
"She hasn't done anything!"
"But her friend weilds the key--"
"I don't care what her friends weilds, she's not her now is she?"
"No but..."
"It's not fair," Demyx said, back to his, usual whiny self
"Demyx,"
"What,"
"Go off and go drown something,"
Demyx sighed and walked out. He portaled over to the fountain and started to play his sitar. The water from the fountain started to form into water clones. They danced to his music. He sighed heavily.
'It's just not fair'
