Thanks to: Art Witch – Aka Mizu, sakura19971324 and SakiUzumaki94 for reviews. I just love those who review my stories ^^
Disclaimers: I do not own Mermaid Melody; I'm just a fan…
I'd recommend any scary music while reading my fanfic… Well, if you want the better atmosphere while reading of course… So let's continue now, shall we?
Kaito sat on a rock. He was crying. The very thought that he slapped Lucia' face was deadly to him.
"What… am I doing…? " he whispered, wiping his tears quickly. Kaito looked at the ocean. He knew his dear Lucia was there somewhere… He never wanted to lose her… never wanted for her to be unhappy and to feel even the smallest pain. But he hurt her and now he was desperate. He clenched his fist and stood up.
"LUCIA! I love you… Please come back! LUCIA! " but there was no use… She was far away from him…
"What happened? " suddenly somebody said. Kaito turned to that person. It was Gari. He looked at the ocean once again.
"Nothing… I have to, you know… get… " Kaito murmured and took his surfboard. He was slowly going to his home. His heart was crushed into pieces. Gari ran to him like a little child.
"You know… If something's wrong, I'm willing to help you. " she said polite.
"It's ok, Gari… Thank you anyway… " Kaito said. Gari looked at him. Then she ran again.
"Are you sure? " she asked and stopped Kaito. Kaito looked at her "Because, I know a place where you'll feel better! I will gladly show it to you… Please come with me. " Gari looked at his eyes. Kaito then felt a sharp pain near his chest. But he smiled to Gari.
"Sure… Why not? " and so… Kaito and Gari left the beach together. Gari took his hand, but Kaito didn't notice.
Lucia felt so vulnerable. She couldn't stop crying. She wasn't so far from a surface. Seaweed, sea urchins, a lot of fish and shells were surrounding her.
"Lucia… " the cold voice whispered. Lucia raised her head quickly. She didn't want to run anymore from this nightmare. She was angry and full of hatred.
"PINK PEARL VOICE! " she yelled with confidence. Her tail disappeared, but she got her cute pink dress, gloves, boots and a microphone. "I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU ANYMORE! LEAVE ME ALONE! " Lucia clenched her microphone. She started to sing. But only a cold laugh could be heard.
"Ha, ha, ha… Is that all you got? " Lucia once again felt that sharp pain. She fell on her knees slowly.
"Now… Welcome to my world… " the voice said. Darkness started spreading everywhere. Lucia turned around. There was no escape from this darkness. Lucia's tears started falling faster. She closed her eyes.
"What did I ever do to you…? " she asked quietly.
"What did you do? You destroyed my life! "
"How…? " Lucia whispered. She didn't have any strength left. She just wanted this hingtmare to be over.
"You're now asking me how did you destroy my life? Don't play with me! " the cold voice shouted. Then the pain in Lucia's chest became even bigger. She could hardly move. Lucia opened her eyes. They were muddy and battered.
"Game over, Lucia… I'll win… You are going to die… You and the boy who hurt you… " the cold voice laughed irritatingly. Lucia stood up. She found her last remaining strength.
"Never hurt Kaito! Do you hear me? NEVER! " Lucia screamed. She was hardly breathing and she didn't know why… "Why won't you show up already? You coward! "
"But I'm right behind you, Lucia… Oh, that's right… You can't see in dark… Too bad… - the cold voice suddenly stopped talking. Lucia quickly turned around. She really couldn't see even her hand. This darkness was huge… Suddenly Lucia screamed. She felt an even bigger pain than the last one. But this time, the pain was felt on her right arm.
"That's just a welcoming gift… See you soon, Lucia…" the cold voice whispered. Lucia was getting dizzy. She closed her eyes and she was no longer in her idol form. She was a mermaid again… When she opened them, she was again in her ocean. She looked at her right arm. It was bleeding.
"Why… " she asked again. She was feeling much weaker than a few minutes ago. She swam to the surface, holding her right arm so she could stop bleeding.
"Just leave me alone… Or kill me… " she thought tearful "And leave Kaito alone… You want me… Not him… I want this to be over, please… " soon she was in the surface under one restaurant. She saw Kaito and Gari having lunch there. She couldn't believe her eyes. But she wasn't crying. She couldn't cry anymore… Lucia just left quickly…
