The Seven Swords 2 Chapter 5: The Forsaken Night The Beginning Of The End

looked to me watching her. "Heed the warning I gave you. She may love you but you don't care

for her the same and never will." He sighed

"I'll be fine Light she will hurt more than I ever will. So I don't have to worry about the pain

only she will. I am not worried about losing her. I just don't like the idea of other men looking at

her." I said

"Junjie, what am I going to do with you." He sighed and was very pleased with what I said as he

rolled his eyes

What!? I don't want him to think there will be anything special she came onto me so I'll let

her have what she wants for a bit till I find the one I am meant to be with. Piece of cake or so I

thought.

We finally got out of the woods and found ourselves in a village I was super excited but

realized Saki and Light where nowhere to be found. So I made my way to the inn maybe they are

there I thought.

"Saki, trust me stay away from Junjie, he is no good for you. He brings you death not life."said a

mysterious voice

"If he truly loves me I will sacrifice my life for him." Said Saki with pa.s.sion

"You are a stupid girl he will use you and throw you away the second he doesn't want you

anymore. He isn't interested in loving you he is only interested in his selfish ways and his needs

you are at the bottom of his list Saki believe me." The voice pleaded with her

I stood there for a moment and held my hand to my chest and thought about the way he looks at

me and the way he blushes the way his hands touched my skin that one time. Thought to myself

he won't be like the others I know for a fact he loves me and I would use all the strength I have

and even my life to prove it. You know the saying I wish I knew then what I know now? Well I

wish I never thought with my feelings and my heart and used my mind. To be continued…

"He wants to be with me I know that more than you will ever know now stop trying to push me

away from him, please." She begged

"Foolish girl if you are willing to risk all that you are for nothing in return than be my guest. I

will not stop you. One day you will know the truth and you will see the man you chose is nothing

but a scared foolish man who will walk away when he is most needed."

My feet where moving before I realized it my heart didn't want to hear anymore, How could he

know what he is like? How could he see what I see? He isn't me so he can't know.

All these warnings to stay away and yet I find myself wanting to know the true him. The man

he truly is deep down inside. The one i am starting to care about maybe more than I should, my

heart won't let me betray him. this foolish heart I have inside me wants me to hold him close to

me.

Light found himself lost in town trying to find the inn, he never worried about being lost he can

always find his way around town. He couldn't help but follow a smell that brought a sweet since

to his nose. He followed the path to a long stairway that went up a hill it looked steep and

narrow. it was hidden well by the shadows, as light looked up this dark path he saw a woman

caped. she looked as though she was flowing above the world. with that he cheerfully expression

he's way up the path, the closer he got to the end of the path the colder it got. He could feel the

hairs on the back of he's neck stand up. when he reached the top he saw a well, below the well

on the ground was growing lilly"s which was odd to light. as he walked closer to the well he saw

a figure of a woman standing beside a tree. He quickly turned and looked away from her. as his

back was turned away from her he sat on the well and crossed his arms, he closed his eyes and

began to talk.

"What, do you want with us?" he questioned in a serious tone

"I'm sure you know what we want." she hissed through her teeth

"Yes, I do actually," he replied

"You are here to turn us against our leader. Junjie, you can not sway the heart so easily evil one.

I have seen how this story ends for him. It is up to him to figure out what he chooses to do with

the choices he has at play here. One ending is sad, the other he finds what he has always

wanted…" light sighed heavily

"You are even unsure, what the future holds for that man with the cold heart?" she laughed with

a hiss

Light stood up and turned to the figure now seeing her blood stained eye. He slammed both of

his hands down hard on the well. he's eyes glowed like burning amber as he looked at her with

the utmost hate like an enraged cat hunting for his pray, that he had already lost more than once.

"Oh, it looks like I have finally got the cat's attention." she hissed in a cold tone that would make

anyone's blood run cold

"You listen here now Amanda, you are no better than that hate that is taking Junjie's heart.

Because, I hope he gets his happy ending doesn't mean he will have it." he turned his head to the

left and started to cry "He… He could make the wrong choices, but who am I to get in the way of

a future? He may turn away from it. It isn't my place i will be beside him either way…" he said

as best he could through the tears

"So you know she dies then??" she laughed

At this point Light looked up at her shocked with tears running down his face. His eyes turned

cold and lifeless only for a moment. she couldn't know what would happen to Saki, she couldn't

know what would come. Junjie's pain, Saki's sacrifice, the horrible details of what was about to

come. There was no way they could know what I have seen and hold close to my heart in the

midst of all this. The future was mine to hold on too not there's, something I have to hold on to

and protect with my life.

"How!!" He shooted

"How do we know this? Light you of all people should know how we know." she grinned a

h.e.l.lish grin

Light could say nothing, he only stood there in shock thoughts of the past started running

through his head, he started to s.h.i.+ver in fear. He's vision became blurry and started to fade to

black. he felt like he was getting nauseous as the world started to spin around him. He could

barely breathe, his heart was racing so fast you could see it pounding in his chest. He found a

moment where he could focus enough to look up, and saw she was already gone. the sweet smell

had turned into the smell of rotting corpses and blood.

As I wandered through the town still wondering how i lost Saki and Light i had finally found the

inn. The doorway was well lit by the two lanterns that hung dangling on both sides of the

entrance. The door was made of a fine piece of oak painted white with two tigers embracing each

other on the door with a cub curled up between them. The building look like it had trim of gold

the beams that hedled it up was cut in a spiral matter. it looked as though the inn was about five

floors high.

At that moment all I could think about was Saki and how beautiful she was. How nice it would

be to hold her close. I didn't know why i was thinking this way. How did she feel for me? How

could I show her how I feel? Was it too soon to feel this way? Was it weird to think of a future

with the path I am on? was it even possible to have a future ever the way i am now? I had

nothing to offer her, no house, no money. could she still love me? What am i thinking I have a

job to do a mission i must complete before I can do anything like that. A future though… could

be a nice thought to hold on too though.

I found myself walking into the Inn when i opened the door you could tell it was heavier than it

looked it felt like it could weigh a ton. there were ten round tables on the left side of the Inn

closest to the bar. the bar wrapped around to the counter to check in. from the door the counter

was about fifteen feet away from me. i walked up to the counter, there was a sigh-in book and a

golden bell that you could ring if no one was there to help you. I started to look around and look

at the flat top table that was in front of me it stood to my waist. I was in no hurry but starting to

worry about my companions, they had been gone for quite some time. When i was about to ding

the bell the Inn door opened and in came Light and Saki. It looked as though they were having an

intense conversation. I had never seen Light not smiling or making fun of something. When

Light saw me looking at them his intense face became soft and cheerful again. I knew something

was wrong. Now more than ever when they came closer I saw Light's face seemed pale and

somewhat lifeless even though he was smiling. Saki walked up to my left side and Light on my

right. i looked down at Saki but she only looked down to the left and to the floor never raising

his her head to look at me. I looked to Light who was looking right at me smiling but his cat eyes

looked more fierce than normal. I kept racking my brain to think of something I could havemissed but nothing I could think of I mean they were gone for awhile but what could change

them this much.

I was about to speak to Light when the counter clark come from the bar to help us. She was

wearing a short pink kimono that had white lacy trim, her hair up in a bun, she had a round

looking baby face that was soft on the eyes.

"May I help you?" she asked in a sweet soft tone

"Yes, may we please get a room?" I asked as Saki interrupted me

"May I have my own room please." she asked in a quietly

I was a little upset with what was going on I didn't know why Saki wanted a different room or

why Light was acting so different. It was very confusing what could have happened in the hour it

took for them to get to the inn? What were they talking about before they came into the inn?

"Yes, Ma'am we have another room right next to there room that I can put you in. for you

it will be 100 yin. the women said

Saki reached into her coin bag and pulled out the money and handed it to her. also handed her

extra to help pay for our room as well. the woman looked at her weirdly handed her a golden

key. like that Saki was gone making her way up the stairs that were next to the door and

vanished. By this point I was feeling more troubled than normal like a piece of me was missing. I

could have just been desperate for a woman's touch something i have only imagined in my

dreams. something that was so real for me in the moment i didn't want to lose. with Light's voice

I was reunited with reality.

"Here is the rest for our room." he said as he handed her a purple bill

"Junjie, you need to snap out of it everything will be fine in time." he said with a smile

We received our key and headed up the stairs that felt cold and gloomy without Saki by my side.

we came to our door with the number two on it and I kept staring at the door Saki was behind

hidden in the darkness behind the door. I hope she is alright everything was so off tonight,

Light,Saki, what is going on, I could feel the darkness mixing with the light inside my soul,

before i knew it i was grasping my sword tightly.

"Junjie, you should let go of your sword." Light said in disppare

when I looked down I saw a purple mist radiating from the sword into my hand. in shock I let

go of the sword and looked at Light questionably.

"What...what was that just now?" I asked

"All our swords are tainted with some kind of evil. Mine too, some of them can help us, some of

them can hurt you in the long run." He paused as he put the key in the door to unlock it. "Your

sword is the worst of all Junjie, It changes your soul if you let it. It feeds on your fear, your

worries, your pain, all of your feelings until you change to its well. Your sword will change your

heart and how you feel about People, and situations you need to keep that in your mind and heart

everytime you weald that sword. It takes apart of your soul away." He said as he opened the door

and lit the oil lamp by the window.

The room was bigger than i thought it was going to be about 900 sq feet two beds the walls

glittered from the golden paint that trimed the walls. The designs still was of the tigers on the

wall. I looked at the walls for a bit longer than i should have. I was losing my soul, myself to this

sword, how could i stop it how could i be able to save myself from this curse. i looked at Light

who was sitting facing away on the bed closest to the window. I watched him rub his face in

frustration like he knew something, no more like he was holding onto something he couldn't tellanyone. I could tell something was wearing down on him something that was more than just

what happened today. A deep dark sadness he couldn't let go of. If i only knew what I could do

to help him through it. Only later would i realize he was trying to help me make the right choices

but I never thought it be too late to change the future that was forcaking my new found life.
