Total Eclipse of the Heart

I'll Fight My Way to You

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
And you still have all of me         
*My Immortal* Evanesence

"This..."the doctor seemed troubled. "It's best not to let this happen a second time...." 
"You're asking how could he have fainted...? Of course, it's due to the pain...."
"If he struggles, you have to hold him down firmly to avoid getting cut by these instruments..." "What... he's already unconscious, how can he struggle?" he heard himself talking.
Once again, the doctor said a string of painful words struck Gu Hai severely. He would rather be dead than breathe a second longer.
"He will most likely wake up from the pain." 

The doctor's face suddenly disappears, now all he sees is Bai LuoYin pale face...

"DaHai...I'm afraid of pain...DaHai, why did you do this to me?...DaHai, why you didn't trust me?...DaHai, I'm afraid of pain...DaHai, you said you will take care of me... DaHai, why did you hurt me?...Dahai...DaHai...pain, DaHai, it hurts...DaHai...."

"BAILUOYIN!!!" GuHai woke up abruptly with sweat drenching his body. His head throbbing with pain. It's been like that since the day he arrived in San Fransisco where GuYang took him. The same nightmare, the same pale and painful face, the same scenes, the same words over and over again... 

When GuHai lifted up his head, he saw his cousin standing, leaning against the door frame, looking at him. 

"Until when are you going to continue to be like this DaHai?" GuYang asked. His face was calmed but his eyes were as cold as ice. 

"Until I can have him back and pay what I owe him." GuHai sighed.

"And how are you going to do that?"

"I'll find a way. Like I always do."

"Are you going to force yourself to him again? Haven't you learned anything?" 

"I've learned that I will never hurt him again. I will do everything right this time Ge."

"Yeah right...Put yourself together first before you do anything. Or you might end up hurting him again."

"I know Ge..." 

"If you know then you should go back to school and work your ass off."

"I will but not this school. I don't want to learn at university."

"Then what do you want?"

"Tell my dad I want to learn something else. He will approve this, I know he will."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to enlist."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No! He will not return to China. I don't want him to enlist anymore. You tell him that. And Guyang, make sure he can't find Bai LuoYin." Before GuYang can answer the phone call already disconnected. Even you can only hear his voice on the phone, Gu WeiTing voice sounded very cold. 

GuYang stared at the phone and turned his head to GuHai who was also listening. 

"You heard him right?" GuYang asked Guhai.

"Then I have to find another way."

"What do you mean?"

"I have to contact my uncle Zhen."

"......."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zhen DaCheng is former Chief of the General Staff in the 2nd Division, 7th Office and he is also GuHai's maternal uncle. The Chief of the General Staff in Division 2 was responsible forgathering military intelligence. His strength is tremendous and not to be underestimated. GuHai's mom was his youngest and favorite little sister but he severed ties with her when she married Gu WeiTing. GuHai only had met him a few times before during his mother's family gathering and the last time was during his mother's funeral. Even when they met, Zhen DaCheng was never spoken to him but his mom once told him that if anything ever happen to her or his father, he should look for his uncle. And now it is time for GuHai to reach out to him. 

Suddenly GuHai felt very high-spirited. He went to the bathroom and took a bath. Feeling freshened, he went to the kitchen and prepared himself a brunch. 

GuYang watched his action then asked, "Are you sure you want to contact your uncle Zhen? You two never even talk to each other."

"He is still my uncle after all and my mom was his favorite baby sister."

"But he already severed ties with your mom."

"Yes, thanks to my father. He doesn't like my father, that's why he is the perfect person for me to ask help from."

"You're father will not like this."

"So?"

"OK fine, but count me out of this. I don't want to take any responsibility for your action."

"My father will blame you anyway. That's why you will have to help me." GuHai winked mischievously.

"Fuck you!"

And for the first time after GuYang found him soulless that day, he heard the boy laugh. After hesitated for a while, he opened his locked drawer at his desk then took out a small black lacquered mobile phone, the phone's style was very old, there was no screen, only the dial button. He gave the phone to GuHai who then pressed some numbers he already memorized since he was very young.
