Hey. So here's a new chapter for you guys. I'm sorry if the first part is a bit confusing, I can't describe things well.
I'm trying to go back to my 'update daily' habit, but I seriously can't guarantee 100% kay?
I will be having 5 tests next week, so I might not update this weekend. And on top of that, the Student Council Secretary quit his job yesterday, so now I need to write reports and proposals for ALL the activities we're doing every week.
Oh, and if there are grammar mistakes in this chapter or even in here (the notes that I'm writing), please forgive me. It's 12 midnight right now, and I just finished writing my poetry assignment, so you must understand how sleepy I am now.
Well, without further ado, here is your chapter!
=Misaki's POV=
I was in a desert – it was more to a hill of sand than a desert though, since it was kind of steep – with smooth sand below my feet and the beating sun on top of me. I scanned the perimeter, trying to find another living thing. But the only thing I saw was sand, sand and piles of sand.
I looked down towards my body. I was wearing a long, sleeveless, white wedding dress with a strip of green lace around the bottom of my chest. I was wearing white gloves to my elbows with little emeralds forming a line that twisted all the way from my wrists to my elbows. I reached up to my hair. It was curled and tied up into a bun - the typical wedding hairstyle.
But the question was: why was I standing in the middle of a desert in a wedding gown alone?
I walked – with high heels – for a couple of minutes, hoping that I could find someone or somewhere that I know.
I tell you what: walking in the sand with high heels was not easy. Especially when you're wearing a floor-sweeping long wedding dress in a 45 degrees Celsius mid-day. But if I took off my heels, then I would be walking on hot sand, which will only cause blisters on my feet.
I walked and walked until finally something shiny came to sight.
Something shiny with something inside it, moving. It was too far for me to see what it was, though.
So I ran as fast as I could towards the object, my hair falling onto my face, sand going into my heels and my dress sweeping the sand behind me. A lot of girls would dream of being in this condition – you know, a helpless princess and all – but if you really was the one experiencing it, I don't think you will like it that much.
"Hey!" I shouted while running.
That was when I saw it. The shiny thing and the object inside it.
It was a huge transparent cube made up of glass fully filled with water. Inside it was a person I really cared about, struggling to get out of there. Struggling to get oxygen.
"Usui!" I ran even quicker, not caring the fact that I had just tore a huge chunk of my dress out.
He was wearing a tuxedo set with a black tie and everything. He was the groom to my bride.
I banged the wall of the cube, trying to break it. But my effort was useless, because whenever I managed to create a crack on it, it would repair itself. But what was more bothering me was that he didn't seem to know that I was there, right in front of him.
His eyes were open, but for some weird reason, he didn't see me. I doubt he could hear me banging the cube too.
"Usui! Can you hear me?" I shouted while banging on the cube again. Bubbles were going out from his mouth. He needed air.
Fast.
Right then, the ground shook. The cube Usui was in suddenly glided along the sand.
"Usui!" I shouted while trying to catch up with him. But the more I ran, the faster the cube was gliding.
And I was too focused on catching up to Usui that I accidentally stepped on my dress and tripped.
I fell on my shoulder. My heels were tattered. My dress was torn and dirty with missing pieces.
I sat back up, staring at the direction where the cube had glided to. Watching as it goes out of sight.
"U… Usui…" I looked down towards my dress, which was spread all over me, and a tear dropped.
Then I felt a pair of hands grabbing my shoulders, shaking it.
"Ayuzawa-san. Ayuzawa-san."
I quickly opened my eyes, and saw a familiar face in front of me.
"Oh sorry… Must have dozed off there…" I quickly straightened myself – I was still sitting down on the floor – and rubbed my eyes.
"Sorry for waking you up, Ayuzawa-san. I just wanted to tell you that Usui-san is now stable and you may now visit him," the doctor – the same doctor who treated me when I got hit by the truck – said.
"Oh, that's great!" I quickly stood up and brushed myself off.
"This way please," he gently opened the door beside me and went in with me behind him.
Usui was lying on the same bed as I did when I was here. In fact, he was in the same room as me when I got hit by the truck.
Huh, what a coincident.
He looked a lot better. His face wasn't that pale anymore. The cuts and bruises were treated and almost all the parts of his body were covered in bandages. His right leg and his arms were covered in casts; his leg was hung up with a strip of thick belt-like cord.
Okay, not the most pleasant view of your guy, but at least I knew that he was treated by professionals.
"Usui…" I muttered while sitting on the stool beside him. Seeing him this… Lifeless was not easy.
"Well, I need to deal with another patient right now," he looked over to his watch, "so I'll leave you guys alone." And he left the room.
"Hmh," I sighed while resting my chin on my palm, my elbows beside his shoulder. "The alien has a time when he's just an ordinary man, huh?" I gave a sad smile.
Okay, I seriously need sleep right now. My eye lids are as heavy as my school bag, which is around 6-7 kg when I'm not having much homework.
Bye...
Oh right, PLEASE REVIEW!
