Chapter 7
"Sweetie ,you home?…", shouted sakura's mom unable to find her daughter.
No answer. She shouted again and again but still not a single sound was responded to her. Sakura's mom rushed upstairs and gave a sight of relief to see her daughter in her bedroom.
Sakura was revising. She then headed downstairs keeping herself from asking questions as she did not want to disturb her daughter.
That was close. Thought Sakura as she eagerly removed a piece of paper under piles of books and copybooks. It said…
"Secrets are kept deep inside the heart…
Some blunt and some sharp
Finding a way to cut my insides…
Mysteries are haunting my mind…
Some thrilling and some don't make sense
Finding a way to break through my skull…
And today is the day I will hunt them down
Both will be found and eliminated
With my courage
And faith
The suspense will be broken and I will rise up to face you…
With my bare hands I will fight you…
Drag you from the lake
Or drain the lake if I have to…
New wars are starting and the old ones are unfinished
New lies are being told and the old ones are left unforgiven
Let the rain fall and thunder rumble
Let the storm rage on
But I will bring you down
With your secrets revealed…"
Hope my plan works… and let's try to forget this for the time being. Thought Sakura trying to think of something else. Then she resumed her revision.
After a few hours, Sakura was really tired and decided to go to bed. Nothing was better than a good night sleep for her. It was her favorite thing.
She walked slowly to the bathroom ,brushed her teeth as she did a mental recap of what she had done that day to see if she missed anything that could be useful afterwards. After her toilet, she went under her red and orange blanket, found a comfortable posture, closed her eyes.
Everything was soo black…and thought about all the blinds people who livd their lives in perfect darkness. Although they still managed to smile. They have no choice so they accept their unfair fate. While people out there pretend to be strong saying they have just lost a loved one. But was it that difficult? This is life and you have to accept everything because it all happen for a reason and one day they will eventually understand why it is all this way… When you are finally ready to face reality. What could be more difficult to be born blind and not being able to see your parents' face and the ones who support you. Then one day you die without having a glimpse of this beautiful world….which is gradually coming to an end because of the greed of human race.
The next day when Sakura woke up, she took a plastic bag and two pots which once contained jam. She filled about one quarter of a pot with her own blood and the other one with holy water. She also stole a piece of meat in the fridge.
She grabbed a toast which has just been made by her mother and ran to Black Hill Forest. Searched a perfect spot and hung the poem on a cherry tree near the opened the pot which contained her blood, placed it under the tree and sprinkled the holy water all around it. And in the circle which she made with the holy water, she threw the raw meat and hope that something will happen while she was gone. I will come back after school. She told herself.
