Chapter 8: Madoka, where is my Angel-san?
A girl sat on the white sheets of the bed. She seemed so ordinary but there is sadness in her eyes. sadness that cannot be expressed and must be overcome on her own. The room she was in was a simple room in a hospital but it was her prison. The door seemed to be a sliding door with a small window on it, the bed she was on was simple with a machine next to it where it would read her heart-rate, a bathroom in the right side of the wall, a small T.V. on the wall and a closet with dresses with a bookcase next to it with tons of books in it. But the girl wasn't interested in those things.
There were no windows or anything to occupy herself with. She sighed, she wanted to get out of her prison and be free. To spread her wings and fly up into the sky.
The girl laid down on her bed, staring up into the ceiling. She wore white PJ's with a small blue jacket on. 'Where is my Angel-san...? where is she? Maybe if I..." The girl smiled. she opened her mouth and...sang
"Yume wa kaze
Hikari Michibiku
Sora to kumo o koete yuku
Anata to koe hibike..."
"Hina Ichigo...where are we going?" Elise asked the doll. They were walking around a small hall. it had grand walls with huge windows next to it. "We're going to see if we can get help from one of my sisters..." Hina Ichigo stated as she walked with Elise.
Elise walked in silence, not even speaking for the rest of the way. 'Her sisters...I hope they won't attack us for this so called 'Alice Game'...'
Hina Ichigo looked straight ahead, her eyes unwavering. She and Elise were now walking through a hall filled with mirrors on each side of the wall. Elise looked into the mirrors but saw nothing, not even her reflection.
"Shiawase to
lya na omoide
Yasashii im ga toozakaru
Shizuka na yoru tsuke..."
Elise heard the singing voice and stopped. Hina Ichigo stopped aw well, her eyes widening from realization. "That's...!" Hina Ichigo ran up ahead, Elsie trailing behind her. "Hina! Wait!"
Hina Ichigo ran down the hall, her little feet thumping against the wooden floor as she panted. 'That song...that voice...could it be...?' Hina Ichigo listened to the song and rna at the direction it was coming from.
"...Kono basho ni nokosu
Ashiatou sae
Kiekakete yugamu
Kizuato no you..."
Elise had gotten lost while chasing after Hina Ichigo, searching for her frantically. She heard the song but didn't know where it was coming from. It seemed like it was coming from everywhere. Elise stopped and looked around. She was back in the hall, all alone with no one there. So she thought...
She didn't notice the shadow behind her, nor the green eyes staring at her intently. 'Elise...'
"Yume no naka
Umareta koro
Garasu Mado ga
Kimi miteru..."
Elise jumped when she felt arms wrap around her, securing her arms together. "Hello there, my princess..." The dark voice purred in her ear, causing her to shiver. Elsie gasped when a hand made her head turn to the right and looked into those green eyes. "Mephiles! Let m go!" Elise said as she struggled in his grasp. Mephiles chuckled darkly at Elise.
"Why would I do that?" Elise glared at him. "Or you'll get a major headache!" Elise then head-butted him, making Mephiles let go of her and stumble.
Elise found it hard to walk but ran anyways, trying her best not to fall down. "Damn it!" Mephiles cursed as he followed Elise. Elise ran like never before, she panted when she heard another lyric to the song. The last lyric and didn't notice Mephiles catching up to her.
Mephiles grinned when he was now next to Elise and jump on her. Elsie fell to the ground with Mephiles, yelping when she rolled with him.
By the time they stopped, Elsie felt that she on something since she closed her eyes. "I didn't know my princess was like this? But...I do like the rebel in her." Elise heard Mephiles, opened her eyes and soon regretted it.
She found herself sitting on top of Mephile's chest, her dress a little high. Elsie blushed crimson red when Mephiles looked up and smirked evilly.
'I have to admit...he does look ho-!' Elise caught herself and shook her head, blushing even more. Elise wanted to get off but Mephiles held her in place, smirking even more. Elise wanted to yell and hit him but, then, she heard the last lyric, it sounded so sad and lovely. Mephiles also stopped and listened.
"Shun uchi ni komete
Sugaru Kimochi sutete
Subete omoi tsunage..."
Elsie felt something trickle down her cheek, lifte her hand to touch her cheek, and it pulled back. A tear?
Mephiles watched Elise, his beautiful Elise. His precious friend. Mephiles then sat up, knocking Elise down on her back. "Whoah!" Elise yelled when she hit her back, she winced but soon stopped when Mephiles loomed over her. Elise felt fear plague her as she stared at him. "You're really amazing..."
Elise felt a blush on her cheeks again as Mephiles began to close the gap between them. Elise snapped out of her daze. "Woah! Hold the phone!" Elise pushed Mephiles off, knocking him down on his face to the ground, cartoon style. "AAAAhhh!!!"
Elise sat up, her hand on her chest as she tried to calm down her fast beating heart. 'He almost kissed me!' Elise thought as she blushed even more. She actually wanted him to...
Elise heard Mephiles groan. She turned to see Mephiles staggering to get up, a bruise on his forehead. "Ow..damn it!" He muttered under his breath.
Elise glared at him, stood up and began to walk away when Mephiles stood up to and ran towards her. "Hey! wai-!" Mephiles made an attempt to catch Elise's arm only for her to pull away and him collide his head to the ground again, this time knocking him out.
"Ah! Oh no! Mephiles!" Elise yelled as she got down and picked him up. He was unconscious and was limp in her arms.
Elise pulled Mephiles toward her, forgetting how much anger she had for him and cradled him. "Mephiles..." Elise muttered as she looked into his face, he seemed so peaceful when asleep or, in his case, knocked out.
Elise found herself blushing as Mephiles seemed to mutter about her and something about a promise.
Elise found herself touching his white fur, she felt the cool, silky fur in her hand. She ruffled it a little, earning a moan from Mephiles. Elise realized what she was doing and felt embarrassed about it. 'What the heck? Why am I touching him?'
Elise shook her head, her thoughts were jumbled and messed up. 'I should just leave him here...' But when she got up, Mephiles was still in her arms bridal style.
Elise walked down the hall, humming a tune as she did.
Mephiles stirred but didn't wake up, he simply dreamed of better days when things were peaceful and everything was less complicated. Where he and Elise were friends. Forever.
The girl stopped singing. She sighed when no one came.
"Where is she? Where is anyone?" She asked out loud. Silenced followed her.
The girl looked around and noticed the mirror glowing strangely. She walked over and...
"Hina Ichigo!" The girl exclaiemd as the Lil' strawberry came in. She smiled brightly,her emerald eyes shining. "Hi...Megu-chan!"
The girl, Megu, smiled at the cute doll. "I see that someone came after all!" Megu giggled.
"Hina Ichigo...where are the others?" Megu asked at the Lil'strawberry who seemed to pout. "I don't know. I was hoping that I'd find help here but I guess she isn't here." Hina replied.
Megu nodded when she saw another shadow appear in the mirror.
Elise came out, a little startled at first. Berrybell was with her, and Mephiles was in her arms.
"Hina Ichigo! You shouldn't run off like that, I got lost while chasing after you." Elsie said as she stepped down. Hina Ichigo pouted. "I'm sorry! Gomenesai! I just wanted to get to Megu as fast as I can! and what is HE doing here?" Hina Ichigo pointed to Mephiles, who if he were awake, be growling at her but since that's not the case, and remained silent.
"He was knocked out and I couldn't leave him there. So i brought him with me." Elsie answered.
Megu looked at the two, her eyes seemed most enchanted of the hedgehog demon in Elise's arms. "Who are you?" Megu asked Elise.
Elise turned and smiled. "i'm sorry. I'm princess Elsie and I'm Hina Ichigo's medium." Elise said cheerfully.
Megu gasped as she stared at Elise. She was actually meeting a real princess. "You're a real princess!? Wow! This is my lucky day!" Megu said as she bounced, her face showing joy.
Elise smiled shyly, she wasn't used to this. Then again ,she had been isolated from everyone since she was little. Elsie laughed a little, Hina Ichigo smiling as Megu sang a tune.
The three seemed like friends since long ago, in a reunion from so many years.
Long lost friends who found each other. Laughing and singing, let them do this. For a sad and depressing shadow lingers above them. The thorns of fate have already wrapped round them and bound them to their destiny. Only time will tell if they shall live to see another day or...lay motionless on the cold floor, her eyes dead to the world.
Who know really? life takes turns on us that we sometimes are led to the road of wandering, aimlessly walking. We seek for a future but if you just sit there and do nothing, what future is there for you? Who are you? What's your name? Where do you...go home?
It was late when I wrote this and I want to go to bed. So goodnight. Happy All Hollows Eve! and have pleasant nightmares!
