Chapter 19

Aisling

* * * * WOW! I am sooo sorry people! SO much has happened. Lack of computer usage, depression because my floppy disk with all my stories was destroyed. I finally was in the mood to write again. I've been oh so busy with my comics and forgot where I started out. I plan to end this story soon with the approval of my co-writer. I want to write the ending myself, because in the midst of all this, we have grown apart. I apologize to everyone...GOMEN!

~Monkey * * * *

II'm sorry./I

II didn't want to hurt you. I didn't want to hurt anyone. I just wanted to be together. Always together./I

It hurt me that Aideen had left without a word. Max was in pieces. I was in shock. How could she do something like this? I didn't understand. Aideen had always been the one to make reckless decisions, but I was always there by her side, laughing with her. Which was part of the reason I couldn't fathom why she left so abruptly.

"'Allo." I turned. Dimitris sat crouched in the window. His red eyes glimmered with playfulness, and a blood red bandana was tied about his head, keeping his long black locks out of his face. His black trench coat blew with the breeze as he stepped into the room. "Why the long face."

"Aideen is gone."

"Your sister? Where'd she go."

"She left," I felt the tears filling up in my eyes. "She left me all alone. I have no idea where she went, if she's okay. I'm so worried. We've never been apart. Never!" I flung myself into his arms. It felt so weird, missing my sister so much, not having her by my side.

"I'll help you find her."

I looked up, tears streaming down my face. Dimitris' face was stern, more serious than I had ever seen him be. He looked down at my face and smiled before kissing me.

We started looking in the older parts of town. The part of town that might spark memories within the deepest part of Aideen's brain. It was cold, and the moon was hidden behind silver clouds. Dimitris had taken the newer part of town, and told me that if I needed help to whistle. Like he would hear me.

The gas street lamps flickered, making their shadows play across the sidewalk. The trees danced with the breeze, and an owl hooted in the distance. I rubbed my eyes. My sleep schedule hasn't been the same since I met Dimitris. I yawned, and when my eyes opened Aura stood in front of me. Her silver hair flew in strands, as if it were playing with the wind. Her eyes were cold, but very illuminating.

"Aura. What are you doing out this late? You should be home."

I can't get out. help me. somebody please...

"Aura? Are you okay?" I approached her, but noticed all that her eyes had no feeling.

i will make you suffer. everyone will suffer. no one threatens me. i am all powerful. fear me and you shall be stretched out her arms and began walking towards me. Her hair was flailing about her face wildly, and her white dress was whipping around so hard, it would surely rip itself to shreds.

"Aura, get back. You're scaring me."

suffering. pain. death. silence.

all will belong to me. i am all powerful. i rule you. obey. only. me.

Her small hands clutched me, and piercing sound flooded my head. Memories flashed by at supersonic speed. I grabbed my head, trying to force back some of the pain. A shrill sound pounded.

aisling. help me.
