Lost Hearts

part 3

Written for DarkDreams55

I strained my ears, listening for his voice. I needed to know that he was safe. I needed to know that he was coming for me.

"Toi es a Moi" The voice echoed around the room, letting me know that he was still here, that he was still watching me. A chill ran down my spine as the cold air around me began to caress my warm skin. Tears filled my eyes as I tried to find my voice.

"Please." I whispered, trying to control the feeling inside me. I wanted to run. I wanted to get out of here, but my body would not move. The pain in my stomach began to thicken as I felt a cold tear fall from my eyes. I don't want to die.

"You will be mine." whispered the air around me. I felt the pain in my stomach move to my chest, it exploding inside of me. A loud scream escaped my lips as I cried out in pain. Why was I feeling this? Why dose it feel like my heart is about to burst?

"Naru!" The word left my lips, flying over my screams of pain. I wanted him to come save me. I wanted him to make this pain go away.

A scream filled the house, drawing everyone's attention to the door. Naru tore his eyes from the mirror to look at the door that now stood in the way between him and Mai. She was screaming out in pain. She was screaming out in pain for him. Her voice calling his name echoed through his mind, making it impossible to think about anything else other than the fact that she was hurting, and that she needed him.

"We need to find what is causing this now!" Naru snapped drawing everyone's attention to him. He turned back to the pile and started to grab any item in reach, checking to see if there was anything useful.

"Naru you are never going to find it that way." Lin said as he watched Naru start to tare apart the pile of old items. Naru just ignored him as he continued to throw things off to the side. It had to be here. It had to be.

"Naru!" Lin yelled, making Naru lose his train of thought. Naru stopped what he was doing and turned to Lin. "You are being rash. We all want to save Mai, but throwing things around the room isn't going to help her! You have to stay calm and let us look for the item otherwise, we might never find it!"

Naru stared at Lin, unable to speak. He knew that Lin was right, but he didn't want to admit it. He didn't have time to.

"Fine do whatever you want." Naru said stepping aside, giving Lin and John room to work. John, who had been in the back round, took a step forward and looked at the mess. He sighed to himself before pulling out a bottle of Holy water and uncapping it. He lightly placed his thumb over the opening before splashing it on the items, in the sign of the cross. Nothing happened. John tried again, this time saying "The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit". Nothing happened. He turned to Lin, looking for other options.

"You will never have her!" screamed a voice in the room. Suddenly a loud crack filled the door as the candle blew out, leaving them all in darkness. It took a minute before Ami found the first candle and re-lit it.

"What was that about?" Akio asked as his sister went around lighting the other candles that had got blown out.

"I don't know." John said as he looked around the room.

"Toi es a Moi" the voice echoed around the room, making everyone freeze. "You will be mine."

Naru looked around the room, trying to find the source of the voice, but could find none. It was as if the voice itself was coming from the walls. The room suddenly grew darker as the candles began to dim. Naru looked around the room, trying to find the source when his eyes landed on the mirror. In the small dusty glass, a young girl peered out at him. Her light brown eyes that hid behind her light brown hair were filled with curiosity. Naru took a step closer to the mirror, not believing his eyes.

"Mai?" he asked, unsure if his eyes were playing tricks on him. The girl in the mirror tilted her head to the left a little as she continued to stare at him. The candle light around them began to fade and the once light brown eyes began to turn darker and darker until they were a deep crimson. Naru took a step back as blood began to drip down her forehead as she continued to stare at him, her head titled to one side.

In the small surface of the mirror, a hand covered in blood appeared, reaching out to Naru, trying to touch him. The hand passed through the mirror and onto the box that lay in front of it. Everyone took a step back, holding their breaths as this girl began to pull herself through the mirror and out into their world.

Naru watched this happened, unable to move, unable to breathe. The stare from this girl held his, making it impossible to notice anything else around him. Confusion, sadness, anger, hatred all swelled in her eyes. Naru wanted to break free of this curse, he wanted to look away, but her gaze held him, drawing him closer.

"Oliver!" screamed Lin as he saw Naru began to walk towards the girl, who was now halfway out of the mirror, her hands reached out for him. Naru did not hear Lin's voice as he walked up to the girl. A warm wet hand touched his cheek as the girl stared up at him, tears filling her eyes. Naru just stared down at her, unable to control himself.

"I love you." She mouthed, unable to find her own voice. Behind him, Lin was calling out to Naru, trying to stop him, but nothing broke through the barrier between them. Naru reached out and hesitantly touched the girl's cheek, wiping away a tear that was falling. He did not want to see her cry.

"In the name of the father, the son…" John began to perform an exorcism, hoping to get through to Naru, but it was ineffective.

"Naru listen to me!" Lin yelled over John. "You can't do this. She is not real!" Above them a scream erupted through the silent walls, telling them that Mai was once again in pain. "Noll do you hear that! That is Mai, remember? The one that we are here to help! The one that needs you to help her!"

Naru turned his head a little, hearing only parts of what Lin had said. The girl in the mirror pulled his gaze back to her, locking him once again in her trance. Above them, Mai's screams became louder and louder as writher in pain. "Noll think about what you are doing! Think about how this will effect Mai! Damn it Oliver stop this!"

Naru leaned in closer to the girl as she drew him to her. Her once bloody face and hands were now a pale white, and her long brown hair flowed down to her chest. She was not the girl he had seen craw out of the mirror, no she was more beautiful.

"Kiss me" she mouthed. Naru not understanding anything other than her words did as she commanded. He leaned down and placed his lips against her, kissing her passionately.

Above them, one last scream of pain echoed the halls before all fell silent once more. Naru pulled back from the girl and looked at her now human form. She was more beautiful that he could have imaged. Her long blonde hair looked like a field of golden strings. Her blue eyes were like the ocean that captured your stare. Her smooth pale face was in a heart shape, but it matched her features completely.

She removed her arms from around Naru's neck, getting ready to pull the rest of her new body out of the mirror, her eyes still locked on Naru's. Naru, not being able to take it anymore, wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to him, kissing her once again.

Naru's lips moved with her perfectly, making her smile and wrap her arms around him once again. Naru, not being able to control himself, found his hands sliding down her back to her waist and than to her upper thighs. The girl let out a moan of pleasure as she felt his hand move down her body.

Suddenly, the girl froze, not being able to breath. She opened her eyes and looked up at Naru, who was staring at her, his eyes cold and dead. The girl grabbed her chest as she felt all the air leaving her body. Not understanding what was going on, she turned to find her lower legs still in the mirror, the mirror that was now cracked. Naru removed his bloody hand from her and took a step back as he watched her begin to grasp for air.

She fell to the floor and began to drag herself towards Naru as she gripped her chest in pain. She reached up, pleading for him to help her, but he stood his ground, watching her with his cold dead eyes. With a last attempt to try to save herself she tried to pull herself up to him and make him kiss her, but Naru would not move his lips, he would not help her. Having run out of time, she fell to the floor and watched as the last of her vision blur and disappear.

Everyone stood there watching, not sure what to do. They watched as Naru stood there, over the body, watching her slowly fade away. Naru lifted his head and turned around, facing the door. Without acknowledging anyone he walked out of the room and up the stairs to the door at the end of the long hallway.

"Mai?" he called once he was once again facing the white door that separated the two. "Mai?" he called a little louder when he did not hear a response. Slowly images of her started to appear in his head, each one worse than the last. "Mai!" He yelled slamming his fist on the door. There was no response. Naru took a step back and with all of his force kicked open the door.

In the middle of the silent room, lay a girl staring up at the ceiling with her unmoving eyes. Naru walked up to her slowly, unsure if anything will try to stop him. "Mai?" he called as he reached her.

A red tear fell down her face as the name reached her ears, but she still did not move.
