I looked up into Ximh's eyes. He seemed to be completely lost for words, he continued to look at me just waiting for what i had to say next. i giggled a little, for some reason he made me feel like a little school girl all over agin.
"I want to stay with you... stay be your side and make sure no one hurts...... you.........." my mind had wondered a bit. i heard chains swinging, singing like the they did to those in the dungeons. Only then did you hear the sounds of the death calling. That was the chains song, it only ever sung of pain and death.
My eyes started to dart every which way. i had to know were that sound was coming from.... if i had a heart i knew it would be going at a million miles an hour.
"Ximh, Ximh, why did you run off so fast?" A girl with cat ears came up from the kitchen. I remember her from when we got assigned to different worlds... yet i don't think i could remember her name. I hear the chains rattle with her every movment.
With every movemnet, every try at reajusting to get comfortable, the chains rattled. They were strapped aroun my arms, my ankles and my throat. i could not lie down or sit, i could only stand or rest on my knees, leaning forward and letting the chains take up my weight. The chains rattled, they would never stop. Every breath made them stir, stir into singing that dreadful song of pain and death.
"Oh, sorry..."
"Why do you wrap chains around your body?" i interupted her. She seemed to be slightly shocked at my question but continued like such a questions was the equivalent of asking, Hasn't the weather been nice the past couple of days?
"Why do you want to know?" i gave her a smirk, yet i still was petrified... right then and there i wished upon every being out there that i would NEVER have to fight her.
"Again i'm sorry, i'll get out of your way."
"Thank-you" she turned and left back to the kitchen. I still had my arms aroun Ximh yet i felt like i was all alone. i rested my forehead against his chest and breathed in deeply trying to calm myself down.
"Are you ok?" Ximh asked cupping my cheek and trying to get me to look into his eyes. i continued to look away, i didn't want ANYONE to know what was currently plauging my mind. i could feel that XImh wanted me to look him in the eyes, but i just couldn't. He gave up trying to get me to look at him and instead hugged me gently.
"Please tell me whats going on..." he whispered in my ear.
"Maybe some other time.... not now." i unwrapped my arms from around his neck and turned to leave. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back. A strand of hair had fallen infront of my face and he gently swept it away, and tucked it behind me ear.
"You don't have to tell me i don't mind. But please don't leave me, please." i looked up to the truth in his eyes and i hugged him once again. taking another deep breath i silenced the fears in my head and looked into his eyes.
"Silly, i said i'd stay by your side and that's what i'm going to do hell, or high water, i'll be there making sure you don't get your sorry ass kicked."
