"The day that my friend was killed, was the night that I plotted my revenge, " wrote a note. Zelzex, was immediately interested, as she read on, she imaged all that must have happened.


With the day being dull and cloudy, it seemed like the sky might cry. Dark gray clouds covered the bright day. Plenty of wind had occurred, blowing through the leaf covered trees. X stared up at the trees, listening to the rumbling clouds roar. As she waited for the first drop of rain, she listened to the few people around her scream and ran around. The smell and look of rain made her relaxed and soothed. She couldn't help but feel something bad may happen later that day. On school grounds, she met up with her friends and sometimes would run around, other times she was too deep in thought to be active. It was after school, the bell had already rang, her and her friends were the only ones who would come out of rainy days.

A flash of darkness swept over her quickly then being tackled to the ground. "AH!!" X screamed, wondering who had tackled her. Glancing up, she realized it was Aku. A little surprised she pushed him off playfully and sat up on the grass. "I was kind of busy, you know, " X responded glancing at Aku.

Smiling happily, he sat where he was pushed and put his arms back to relax on them, "sure, looking at the clouds is called busy." Rolling his eyes he jumped up on his feet and gazed down at her as she did. "Come up silly, " Aku demanded putting his hand down to help her up.

He always had his way to make her smile, even at her dullest moments. The thoughts that rushed through her head had stopped, but the feeling of something bad would happen didn't leave. Grabbing his hand gently she got up to her feet and sweetly smiled at him to let him know she was okay. "Come here you, " he said pulling her arm then wrapping his arms around her in a hug. Melting in his arms of sanctuary, she hugged him back and nuzzled him a bit.

Someone a little distance away shouted Aku's name, both X and Aku looking toward the direction. She realized it was his best friend. Letting go of her to meet up with him she quickly grabbed his arm as he glanced back. "Listen..lately, I've been.." thinking to herself she stopped and let go, sighing in embarrassment, "never mind." She wanted to tell him, but she thought what the point was, they wouldn't be able to handle it in any way.

Tilting his head as his arm dropped to his side she questioned, "you okay?" He examined her troubled face, she gazed at him. Silence held through the air for a few seconds as the sound of the wind called.

"I'm fine, " she replied finally, leaving all her thoughts behind, "it's nothing." As Aku was about to ask her questions, his friend made it up to him, making him stop and take his attention to his friend. X, relieved, stood in silence to hear what he needed to say. Zoning off, she gazed back into the sky. Am I the only one who thinks something bad will happen? X thought to herself, watching the clouds roll by, rumbling. Her mind went blank for a few minutes as she heard Aku's sweet voice speak. "I got to go, " he hugged her quickly.

"Okay, "she nodded, looking at him worried. "Be careful." X watched him and his friend disappear behind the building shortly after. Sighing she sat down, holding up her knees and folding her arms around them, sinking her head. "This feeling won't go away until I know what happens.."

"X!!" One of her female friends called from behind her, "I'm leaving, are you coming over?" X turned around to look at her gothic friend, she stood leaning a little with a backpack over her shoulder. X shook her head, "can't, have to take my school bus today." X quickly got up as went over a small ledge and down on the pavement. Watching her friend leave, she realized that almost all her friends had left, except for three.

One of them tackle hugged her, keep his arms wrapped around her. She gazed at him and smiled, "I'm taking my bus today, come on, lets wait for the buses." As he agreed they walked over to her other two friends, all four of them walked together to the spot where they would wait for their school buses. As they walked, her thoughts flashed back to her, she tried to shake them away, but they wouldn't leave. They were like leaches, sucking out all the happiness and staying until satisfied.
