Child of Darkness, Story of Light

Chapter 3:  Lemme Go!

[Heidi’s POV]

     Goku?  Why did that name sound familiar?  I shook my head and opened my mouth to say something.  I quickly closed my mouth and stared at the ceiling.  I felt Goku’s hand on my cheek and he moved my head so I could see him.

      “You don’t have to be ashamed of anything.  Tell me, what is your name?”

      I felt like crying.  I had seen the pureness in Goku’s eyes.  I couldn’t let him be cursed too and have that pureness be taken away from him.  I had to get out of here before anything happened.  I struggle to get up.

      “I better go.  I’ve caused enough trouble.” I said.

      Goku grabbed my before I got out of bed.  “You’re not causing us any trouble.  We want to help you.” 

     I struggle to get out of his strong arms.  “No, I have to go.  Before… you’re taken like the rest of them.”

      “What are you talking about?”  Goku squeezed me a bit more.  “Tell me.”

      I stopped struggling.  “I’d rather not talk about it.  Now… let… me… go!!”

      Goku squeezed me even tighter that I could hardly breathe anymore.  “No.  I won’t.  Tell me.  So we can help.”

      Tears started flowing down my face.  I couldn’t help it.  I needed to get away.  And then, I felt something soft pressing against my cheek.  I opened my eyes to see Goku’s orange gi.  He had loosened his grip on me and was now holding me hold to him, like I was a scared child.

      “If you won’t tell me now, then go back to sleep.” He said.  “I’ll be right here if you need me.”

      I pressed myself closer to him, longing to feel his body against mine.  It had been a long time since I had been held like this.  Oh God please…  Don’t let Goku be taken too…  I remembered those other times…  When other people were taken…  Or killed…

      I sobbed into Goku’s chest.  I couldn’t help it anymore.  I just wanted to cry and scream from all that pain that I had held in the past.  But I was supposed to be strong…  I was being a sissy by crying…

      “Shh…  Just cry it all out…  I’m right here…” Goku whispered to me.

      No…  He was already starting to become bonded with me.  No…  This cannot happen again…  I can’t let it.  I’ve already murdered other people.  People that got too close.  If he tries getting as close as they did…  I knew he was going to die too.  Or be plagued with the darkness like I am…

      I looked up.  My dark brown eyes met pools of inky black orbs.  I saw it…  Goku’s purity.  I saw the glint I his eyes.  My eyes were once like that…  Innocent.  Compassionate.  Giving.  Kind.  Happy.  Now I knew Goku was looking back into pools of endless darkness.

      “Goku?” I whispered.  “When something happens…  Promise me…  You’ll forget me.”
