Chapter
Four: The Eye of Pity
“Finally home again?” A familiar
voice called out to Claire, but she could hardly concentrate on walking.
“What’s wrong Claire? You look pale, did something happen?” Once again Claire
did not answer the voice of her mother. In fact she didn’t even know where the
voice came from.
“I…” These were the words Claire
let out before collapsing on the kitchen floor…
OOOO
“Wake up human… Don’t let her use
you…” A soft angelic voice rang through the sea of darkness that Claire floated
over. Her feet nearly dipping into the pitch black water. Nothing but the dark
sea could be seen for miles and miles.
Although the voice had told her to
wake up, Claire found it very hard to do so. Claire felt safer with her eyes
closed, and so she kept them that way.
“No! Child of man! She’ll take
control of you if-“The voice was interrupted as Claire let out an ear piercing scream,
her body falling from the air and into the black colored ocean. Even though her
body had been tossed under water, Claire could not find the strength to close
her mouth, and continued to let out a blood curdling scream. The water started
to fill her lungs, making it hard for her to breathe, and her vision grew
weaker and weaker. This was the end, this is where Claire would leave her mark
on fate.
“Oh my! Looks like this is the
end, huh?! Ahahaha~” A very snooty voice rang through Claire’s head, though she
could feel reality slipping away. “Alright I’ll just skip all the boring crap
no one cares about and get to the important stuff!” The voice continued to yell
out. “Anyways, You’re about to die right?! So why don’t you call on your
princess and protector, Coraline, to save you from this mess?!” Coraline
received nothing but silence as Claire continued to drift to the bottom of the
pitch black ocean.
“Well I’ll take that as a yes
then!” A strange snapping sound could be heard throughout the still ocean. All
of a sudden Claire’s entire body pulsed and she flew to the surface of the
water, leaving a great impact on the ocean and shaking it so hard that ten feet
waves began to rise.
Claire flew higher and higher into
the air, though she was still unconscious. The soft angelic voice spoke up once
again. “No Coraline! What are you doing? I won’t let you have her! And if that
doesn’t work I’ll possess her body myself!”
The cocky voice spoke let out a
laugh. “Are you kidding me Pulse? I just saved her life! It wouldn’t make sense
to kill her… at least not yet.” And with that statement Claire flew higher and
higher up until she was light…
OOOO
“Can you hear me?” A voice called
out from somewhere, but Claire couldn’t tell where it came from, or if it was
male or female. For Claire still stood on the border of consciousness.
“Oh come on now! You’re stronger
than that!” Coraline’s cocky voice echoed through Claire’s head, which
surprised Claire, since she thought the recent events were all a dream. “Wake
up now, my Claire~” The voice said in a strange soothing tone.
Upon hearing the awkward tone of voice,
Claire awoke to a very strange sight.
She appeared to be in some sort of
hospital bed and was surrounded by a white curtain, but more importantly was
the girl in front of her.
The girl had light purple hair
that was completed by two wolf ears. She wore a nurse’s outfit that was
complete with yellow colored eyes and a long light purple, bushy tail. The girl
was very cute, and Claire couldn’t help but be attracted to her. She especially
loved the small tooth that stuck out of the left side of her mouth.
“How ya feeling?!” The girl asked
while swishing her long bushy tail. Seeing the tail made Claire blush. She
liked fluffy… things.
“U-Um… I feel… great?” Claire said
as her face flushed even more.
“Claire! We need to get away from
her! She’s dangerous!” Coraline’s voice rang through Claire’s head once again,
but she ignored it and gave into her feelings.
“Hold on… I think you might have a
fever…” The wolf girl put the back of her hand on Claire’s forehead, but the
contact was too much for Claire and she passed out…
OOOO
“Are you crazy?! That girl is
dangerous!” Coraline’s voice rang out once again. However it echoed not in
Claire’s head, but in a very fancy room.
The room’s walls were made of fine
carpet and so was the floor, both were a crimson red color. Glass ornaments
lined the shelves of several glass cases. But most importantly was the chair
that sat in the middle of the room, and the girl that sat in it.
The girl had long light red hair
and emerald green colored eyes. She also wore dark gothic Lolita style clothing,
and a large claymore with a jeweled hilt and a blade made of gold lay next to
the chair, resting on the arm to be exact.
“Claire what are you doing? You
belong to me…” The red headed girl said soothingly, then teleported behind Claire,
feeling her hair with her own fingers. “You have such soft hair~” The girl
cooed. Claire blushed, and also tried to say something, but she felt as if her
mouth had been sealed shut.
“Oh! That’s right! I made it so
that you can only hear my voice Claire~ Oh! I’m sorry! I haven’t introduced
myself! I am the one who saved you from a frightening new curse. I am Coraline!
A new part of your conscience! You need me and I need you. Now awake Claire!
You will find out about the curse that nearly took your life! I want you to
save others from it too! Goodbye for now my sweet~” And with this the whole
world turned a bright milky white.
OOOO
Claire awoke in what seemed to be
her own bed; at least she hoped it was her own bed. She also heard the annoying
ringtone of her cell phone, signaling that she had received a text message.
Claire reached for the cell phone on her night stand and flipped it open,
nearly throwing it in shock at what the message contained.
