Summary: She was always good at hiding. Hiding objects, people, herself and her emotions. Hiding her emotions to the extent that even she couldn't realize them. She preferred it this way, because this way she never needed to tell people everything and more importantly, trust them. He was always a bit ahead of everyone, running from his emotions. Busy with his work, his training, his duties, he hardly ever had time to think, let alone do simple things such as smiling, laughing, having fun and enjoying life. When these two crash, and are forced to trust each other when faced against a mutual enemy, will they manage? Or will they go down before that? Read to find out...
Chapter 5
Readers P.O.V
A man, probably around his 40's, was walking down the corridor. His face was twisted in a cruel smile, and his pale face contrasted his black hair, and dark eyes. He was wearing a robe, like King's wore in olden times, and it was decorated with a big cobra in the middle, with rubies for eyes, and small cobras around it. With him, there was a tall woman, walking just as regally as he did, though a few steps behind. She was wearing a gown, not common in the 21st century. It was a lime green, with a big python that's head started near the gown's neckline and tail ended near the bottom of the dress.
They stopped outside one of the few guarded rooms of the house. After ordering the two guards to stand up, as they had knelt before their Lord and Master, he entered the room with the woman just behind him.
The man, called Cobra, paused to glare at the woman that was sitting on the bed, on the side nearer to the door of the room, and continued on to the other side. The woman, Python, who had been following this man stayed with the woman on the bed.
Cobra stopped in front of a man sitting with his back to the wall. He was a handsome man, but his face had a defeated expression. This changed into one of hatred as soon as he raised his head to look at the man before him.
"What do you want Cobra?!" He spat out.
"Well, let's start with you calling me either Master, or Lord, shall we?" said he, not at all disturbed by his prisoners insolence. "Let's not forget that I can kill you whenever I wish to. But, to be honest, this is much more fun."
"Shut up! You already have killed us, once, don't you remember? Everyone thinks we're dead, so you might as well kill us because you know we will never, EVER co-operate with you, traitor."
"Oh, really? I had come here with a peaceful proposition with you, but I suppose you don't want it. Remember, friend, I never forced you to give your son to me. You did that yourself, out of greed, to make him perfect. Too bad he didn't want to be."
"JUST SHUT UP! I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE THIS…THIS SADISTIC DEMON YOU WERE! YOU'RE A TRAITOR! JUST GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! NOW!" The prisoner roared.
"As you wish, Ren Li."
Ren P.O.V
I can sum up my life in one sheet of paper. Most of it is bad.
The beginning: I was born. My parents were too busy with the family Li business to actually take care of me, so I was like an orphan. I also had no brothers or sisters. An orphan, with no siblings. I was so lonely.
Then I met Yelen. We became friends, and I soon asked her out. When we were 19, I proposed to her.
When we got married, it was the happiest day of my life. She was the perfect wife, fun at home with family and formal and business-like everywhere else. I would die for her, I still would. I love her so much.
We then had quadruplets, my daughters Fanran, Feimei, Fuutie and Sheifa. A few years later, Syaoran was born; and everything started going wrong.
I don't know what I was thinking. I knew the work of the clan was difficult, and I wanted my son to be the best leader there ever was. So I signed my newly born child up into an experiment that made children perfect. I didn't even tell my wife, let alone ask her permission. All I told her was that when our son was 6, he would be taken away from us to be trained. She cried for days after that. But she understood, though I noticed that after that she became her formal self everywhere, even with me. Our son had changed her, made her into this perfect woman who showed no emotions.
I know it's despicable, but since that realization, I started hating my son. It was only years later that I discovered that my wife had become what I wanted my son to be. That it was my fault, not my son's. But of course, by then it was already too late.
Then after his 13th birthday, my son came back. Looking at him once, I knew I loved him. I also knew I had made his childhood worse than my own. The files in my study that said how much he was 'improving' proved it.
After he returned, we had to go to an appointment to meet Cobra, my friend who had been conducting the experiment. But on our way there, we were kidnapped, corpses put in our places, and the car blown up and overturned. The witnesses forced to keep their mouth shut, and doctors paid to say that the corpses were mine and Yelen's.
To the world, we were dead.
We were then brought to 'The Cobra's Abode', and my wife was taken away. When she returned, she was crying. She told me she hated me. So they had told her.
After that, we were put into this cage, which they call a guest bedroom. We've been here for, let me see, about 5 years now. I keep hoping, maybe, some day we will escape. But this is my life, so far.
Yelen's P.O.V.
My life is hell. Only a few things keep me going.
Firstly, the best moments of my life. These are: When I first met Ren, when he asked me to marry him, and when we actually got married. When my daughters were born, and also when my son was born. Also, when my son returned after being away for 7 years.
Secondly, the worst moments in my life. When Ren told me that Syaoran was being sent away to be trained when he was six, and when years later I found out the real truth. When I told Ren I hate him, which is true. I also love him, but I'm too afraid to say so.
The last thing, that keeps me going, is Hope.
Hehe I'm EVIL! Syaoran's parents are ALIVE, and he was GIVEN to this place by his own FATHER, that used to hate him! How could I be so cruel! Anyway, I wanted to write something in Syaoran's parents P.O.V, because there hardly ever is anything. So, yeah, I hope you liked, and REVIEW!
