In the kingdom (A shugo chara fanfiction)

Chapter 7

[Belle's pov]

I sat on my windowsill with my legs dangling over the edge. It was a warm summer night, and I felt like I was in heaven. It was a clear and starry night, and I was calm (for once). Suddenly, a memory flashed into my thoughts.

- Flashback-

"Hey! Give me back my violin!" A mini me yelled. The boy in the tree just laughed at me and taunted me. So, I ran over and grabbed his violin. The boy's eyes widened, and he handed me my violin back. "That's better," I mumbled.

- End of Flashback -

Oh, those days. I realized that I was crying. I miss him. I felt happy with him, but when my- A VIOLIN!! I grabbed my violin and started to play a beautiful song by a local musician. When that finished, he played a song. When he finished, I took my chances. I would let him know, or at least try. I searched through my memory, and I tried my best to remember the song. It was a duet that me and that boy wrote together. If you haven't guessed it by now, I was best friends with the crown prince. As I started the duet, I could tell he was trying as well.

When I had to go to sleep, I smiled. He remembered.

-----TIME (LORD) SKP------------

More chores! Yay. Oh, ya hear that? It's called sarcasm. I was forced to go out and do some shopping for a while, so I brought my violin just incase. I was dressed in a simple red, commoners dress ( I'll have an example up in a while) and it was like all of the other women's dresses of the time. Mine was special. I found this one in Saiya's closet in a box. Saiya would NEVER wear a dress this 'unclassy' as she says.

I was wearing a brown cloak (its tipped at the hood so it makes me look almost like a witch.... Or I'm wearing the sorting hat, but that's also a wizard thing.... Never mind) and my violin was hidden under it.

On my way to the store, I saw the mysterious cloaked figure playing the violin. He was playing the duet from last night. I took my violin out and played along. During the song, there was an epic pause, and next thing I knew, the person was right next to me, playing the next part. When I was this close to him, I could see his purplish-blue eyes and hair. He smiled at me as we finished the song with an epic, synced stroke of the bow. We were child protégés.

When the song finished, I collected my share of the money, and started to leave, when someone (Ikuto) grabbed my arm. I could see his smirk from over here, plain as day. "I thought you were dead," he whispered in my ear. I hugged him. You see, he and I were friends as children because of my family, who were nobles. One day when I got home, I got to see my family killed right in front of me. The killer grabbed me and dropped me off at someone's doorstep -it just happened to be the Yamabuki household- and hit me in the head with something hard.

I lost my memory until a few years ago. Since my family was killed, and I disappeared, everyone assumed I was dead. Aperantly, the prince took it the hardest, and didn't eat or sleep. He almost freaking died! After I 'died' Ikuto didn't make any more friends because he didn't want to loose them.

Ok, enough of the past. TO THE NOW!!!

Ikuto held me close, and I could have sworn I saw a tear drip down his face, but that just wasn't him. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something that might kill me. Saiya was walking around, window shopping. I started to freak out. I pulled away from Ikuto, causing my hood and his to fall. It seemed like everything went in slow-motion.

Saiya turned around and saw me. I swear, in all of my years of living, I had never seen an angrier face. I started to run, but it was too late. Saiya grabbed my arm and dragged me to the house/mansion. She locked me in her room, and went to probably tell on me. I was dead. I was doomed to die. Saiya wouldn't let anyone fantasize over the price, cause apperantly, she had already had a dress made for their wedding. Like hell I would let that happen.

When Saiya returned, she was holding my worse nightmare. The rattle-snake whip. This was a whip used on mass-murderers when they were whipped to death. They had poison fused into them so it hurt 10x more.

-------later...-------

I couldn't stand it anymore. I just wanted to die, and I might of gotten that wish if Ran hadn't of come in. I was nearly dead, and my back was in shreds. I started to drift in and out. Ran was yelling at me, but I couldn't understand her. 'This is the end for me,' I thought, as my vision turned to black.
