The Normal Life Of A Crazy Girl
Chapter 7- Seeing The Light
WARNING: There is no humor here! This is one of those rare, serious chapters. But you should still read since it plays a huge part on this story.
Well, here I am, back in my cell. After Kisame forced me to tell Pein where I came from and how I got here, he was really angry. Like, extremely angry. He threw one of those weird looking knives at me and it hit my shoulder. I bit my lip in order to hold in a cry of pain. Before I knew it, Kisame and the guy with red eyes took me back to my cell, knife still in my shoulder. But before I could walk into the cell the man with red eyes stopped me and said, "We do not need for you to escape." Then, he ripped the freaking weapon out of my shoulder. I screamed. I have never felt so much pain in my life. They shoved me in the cell, locked the door, and left. Usually, I would have cracked a joke, but I can't. It hurts too much.
As I look at the wound in my shoulder, I realized something. This is real. It's not a dream; it's not a fantasy world. This is real life. I feel the pain, and I'm suffering from it. I'm in another world all by myself. Alone. I'm gonna die here. No house, no family, no friends. Nothing. So, after considering all of this, I did what any normal 19 year old girl would have done. I cried. And I didn't stop crying, either. Because everything is true. I will die here. I'll never see my family or friends again. I wonder if they even noticed that I was gone.
Then, I felt something. Something in my back pocket. I take the object out. It's a heart shaped, gold locket. Inside, was a picture of me, my mom, and my dad smiling and hugging each other. This was the birthday present my parents gave to me last year. I remember that day. When they gave me the locket, they told me to look at it during tough times. They said, 'no matter the odds, you should never give up. If someone pushes you down, stand back up. Because it's like the old saying; if it doesn't kill you it only makes you…' "Stronger…" I whisper. "I'm not dead yet." I added.
'My parents were right. Each time the Akatsuki push me down, I'll get right back up stronger than before.' As I think this to myself, I slowly start to stand up, with my back straight. 'And one day, I will be stronger than everyone else.' I hold my head high and I slowly start to grin as I say loud and clear, "You better watch out. Soon, I'll be the one sticking those knives through you." I turn my head and look through the glass window in my door. "And guess what? I'm gonna start by sticking that first knife through you, red eyes." At first, you probably wouldn't see anything, but if you looked close enough, you would be able to see the faint red glow in the darkness. A glow which resembled the shapes of red eyes.
'I see the light now. I know why I'm here. I'm here to stop the Akatsuki through the inside. And I promise that I will complete that mission. And I promise to myself, I will not die here!'
