~Chapter 10: Memories That Cause Pain~
I sat up and groaned. My head was killing me. Badly. My tail twitched at the pain. It felt like 15 huge and heavy hammers were ramming into my head. CUPCAKES! Sorry, I become crazier than normal when I'm in pain. I opened my eyes and liked around. There was Bunny and Jack and North and Tooth and Pitch! Blah. Why are they here? This is my mind! Don't ask how I know; I have my ways..."Unh,"groaned Bunny,"Where in the bloody hell are we?" His words were a bit slurred. Maybe I wasn't the only one who felt the pain. "My mind," I stated simply, pulling my ears back in an attempt to block the pain. Pain, pain, pain...it seemed to echo in the endless white room. I shivered. My mind always was creepy and it still is. "Your mind? How would you know that?" I shrugged. It wasn't any of his buisness. He snorted and massaged his temples, his ears flattened against his head like mine. The rest woke up. All asked the same question Bunny had and I answered them all with the same answer: my mind. All of them had the same pain infiltrate their heads. 'Ah, you're all awake,' came a voice from above,'I warned you all that this was going to happen, but you wouldn't listen...now you're going to pay the price for your ignorance. I bet you all remember your past, correct?' I shook my head. The voice sneered,'Well, you're now going to remember...all the pain, sorrow, and anger. I hope you have fun! And a warning of advice...'
'The pain can kill you...' Almost everyone around me had horror etched in their faces. They must have very painful memories. I gulped; I don't remember my past life. I hope they aren't painful. 'Goodbye...forever!' he cackled, shrouding the place in mist. We all glanced each other; who's memory would be first?
The fog lifted to show the inside of a log cabin. Inside there, there were 5 people...
'The man lifted the girl on his shoulders, the girl giggling like mad. Beside them, there was a 18 year old boy that was reading the Bible. He had hazel locks that got darker at the edges. His dark brown eyes were pierced in a scowl. "Would you PLEASE be quiet?" hissed the young adult. They ignored him. "Come on Pete," said the youngest, ice blue eyes alight with mischeif,"It will be fun if you play with us!" "I'd rather die!" Pete growled, burying his head in the book in vain. "Pete," scolded his mother,"Go play with your siblings! It's time you stop acting like a grump and lighten up!" The girl chuckled. She was still perched on her father's shoulders, shaking her head in amusement. Her eyes shone with warmth as she watched her siblings and mother argue, even if she could barely see them; the glass on her glasses were cracked. It made it hard to see. It also didn't help that she had a large mop of blond hair covering her right eye. She yelped as her cat suddenly jumped on to her leg and started to carefully climb up her leg, trying to not hurt her. The silver cat sat on top of the girl's head, purring in delight.
"Crystal! Get Romroo off your head!" said her mother. Crystal looked at her in dismay,"Mom, do I have to?" she whined in a pitiful voice. A sharp glare was her answer. Huffing, she set the cat down(more like tossed). They heard a knock at the door. Setting Crystal down, the Father went to see who it was. Outside, there were 10 Redcoats. Gasping in alarm, the Father slammed and locked the door shut. They all stared in horror at the door. 'Oh no no NO! They found us! How could they find us?! We were so well hidden!' thought the girl in panic. "Get out of the house by the King's Command," shouted a voice from outside," Or you all shall be slaughtered!" "Everyone, go out the back," whispered the Father,"I'll distract them." Crystal's eyes widened,"No Daddy! Don't! They'll kill you!" cried the girl, flinging her arms around his neck, pleading him with her eyes. He gently pushed them away. A warning shot was heard from outside. "Here, take these; this way, I'll always be with you." He gave her a dirty purple beret and torn purple scarf. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Y-you're making t-this sound like a g-goodbye," she croaked. Someone slammed into the door. "Go!" And they went rushing toward the secret hatch. The Mother and Father blocked the door as more Red coats slammed into the door. Crystal glanced at them solemnly before going into the tunnel, closing the door behind her.
They ran, ran down the damp and dark hallway. Fright and adrenaline coursed through their veins as they rushed away. Heart thudding, feet thumping, Crystal heard gunshots echo down the hole, making tears spill. But she didn't have time to cry. A few minutes later, thet arrived at the end of the tunnel. Opening the hatch, Pete cautiously peered out. No one was there...all of them crawled out on to the snow. Crystal put on the beret and scarf. Sobs racked her body as she realized that her parents, her LIFE had just been slaughtered. And they were never coming back. Never. No matter how much she wished it, no matter how much she prayed, they weren't coming back. Crystal cried, tears streaming down her face in anguish and realization. The world wasn't fair and sweet; it was cruel and bitter...'
Cupula started to sob too, even though she didn't know why...
