Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here, all that's left
Of yesterday...
-Hello by Evanescence
Why did it seem so familiar? The non-existent arms that encircled him, the feeling of warmth spreading throughout?
"It's okay...I'm here..."
The strange melodious voice comforted within his mind - it echoed and flowed around the mind on the brink of insanity.
"Keep running..."
Not knowing why, Red could only follow as told - a strange trust erupting, like a long-forgotten memory that suddenly emerged from the back of the mind and begun to show clearly.
His feet carried him forwards, and the voice's encouragement brought him to go faster. He felt almost weightless - almost free...almost.
For he knew, that there was nothing of such - no freedom. Even if you say or believe that you aren't following the path - or walking to the side of it - what makes you think that paths go in the same direction?
After all, there are many directions you could go in, and yet, you're restricted to those paths.
But then again, what if there was no God? As crazy as it sounds, what if there wasn't...? Meaning, were those religious people's lives futile? Did all those rituals and beliefs happen for 'nothing'?
It may not make sense, but see it this way...how was one ultimate being supposed to exist when 'He' or 'She' was the first?
And then...how were we supposed to exist?
That's how the minds of the insane worked...or maybe just Red.
Odd isn't it?
But just because he had so many things thrown at him, doesn't mean he didn't have the time to ponder - philosophically.
"Then take a sharp turn left..."
Again the voice piped up, and it also seemed as though an opaque shadowed figure was pointing - pointing at the place to turn. Red squinted as his eyes followed the direction being pointed at. It was a small opening in between two stalls, which then lead to the alley way behind.
He picked up the pace and then discretely did as told. He was fast, like a blur - no one had noticed that he'd gone through.
Either that, or they chose to ignore - simple-minded fools. Chose to stay oblivious rather than at least contemplate on it for a short minute.
Two figures in clad black ran - with the green haired girl was 'somehow' leaping far and fast. Green flames lit around the side of each boot, which seemed to have the hem of the boots wrapping around her legs.
They rushed passed the small alleyway where Red hid within.
After a few moments - Red released breathe he never knew he'd held.
It was such a relief, and his racing heart was slowly - but getting there - pacing back to its correct speed.
Red slumped down onto the dirty and wet ground. He crouched into a ball and rested his head against his folded arms.
How did it come to this?
"Ah! What the fu-"
Red's gaze wondered over to the silver rose.
What was the church doing here? He'd travelled to a place where they couldn't reach and 'cleanse' him!
He refrained from showing the look of terror that threatened to appear on his face.
He moved and his left hand had hit the blue-haired boy's sheathed katana, thus leading him to feel something like electric had sparked and hit him.
It was a shock and the green cross that was embedded in his hand began to glow through the gloves.
The other two held shocked expressions, but it quickly turned serious. They tried to grab Red who began to run. But to no avail, he was just too fast for their liking.
"OI WAIT!" The blue-haired one yelled furiously.
"Please wait! We just need to talk!" The green-haired girl exclaimed as politely and loud as she could.
Red paid no heed. 'Just talk'? That's what those church people said to him and he ended up 'close' to being nailed to a bloody cross!
And so he scoffed as he ran.
'Bastards...'
"Are you okay?"
It was the voice in his head again, and it sounded really concerned.
"Have I gone mad? Tell meh, ha'e I gon' bonkers ta begin talkin' ta someone that's part of ma mind? Ta talk to someone that's just a figment of my imagination?"
He truly felt delusional. To not only hear voices, but to talk to it and ask it questions.
"You have not gone mad, and alas, I am not a figment of your imagination." It replied.
"Who are ya? Actalleh, wha' are ya?" Red asked suspiciously.
"I am Neah. You will soon learn what I am. For now, rest. I shall wake you when 'they' are close."
Before Red could say anything, a song flooded his head. It was so beautiful and relaxing, he could only close his eyes and listen.
'Soshite Bouya wa Nemuri ni Tsuita

"Where the fuck did he go?!" The blue-haired samurai from earlier cursed furiously.
"Kanda...we'll find him." The other from before reassured the cursing teen. She went to the phone booth and dialled a number – her companions in yellow had died, caused by purple bullets being shot by grotesque creatures – it kept ringing until suddenly:
"LEENAAALEEE~~~!"
A hyper voice cried in joy on the other line. By the sounds of the voice, it was a male.
"Nii-san, we found an accommodator, but he...ran..."
'Lenalee' began, but slowed down at the end. Feeling a little awkward at the fact.
"He shouldn't be far. Be careful Lenalee, and bring the accommodator back safe, okay?"
Lenalee's brother suddenly turned serious, but continued otherwise.
"Yes Nii-san."
OoOoOoO
Red awoke in the same place as he'd slept. He looked dazed for a few seconds, before returning to his concentrated and serious stature. He forced himself up - feeling his limbs sore from all the running and then the sudden rest.
His body ached to lie down, but his mind knew otherwise. He'd have to keep going, he wasn't about to get caught by the church.
Not now, not ever.
And so began his journey back to his hotel. Completely oblivious to a shadowed figure watching his sloppy movements with an interested grin.
"Red...I've finally found you~!"
Author's note: Was that short? I can't tell, that was 5 pages in word…urgh…It was probably short. T~T why can't I make long chapters? –crying in the corner-
Allen: Please review and don't forget to put inspiring or motivating music!
