DON'T LOOK AWAY

Chapter 6

"Syaoran"  he says .It's a Beautiful and unique name she thinks. 

"Hm _ " she gets up from her seat as she already finished eating. Without looking at him she quickly goes upstairs in her room and lock the door , don't know why but she just feels like doing it.  

 She Hugs her favorite teddy . Her name is mini ."I think he is very kind man! but I also think he is wierd ...a little bit !" she giggles and put down her teddy on her table to get ready . She goes to her small closet and pull out a random dress and shocks. She always prefers to wear shocks to keep her feet warm.It's really cold here but she loves cold anyways! She Loves sleeping in fluffy blanket in winter! But today she found her brother's blanket on top of her. Maybe he gave it to her when he went out this morning.

As she is pulling on her dress she hears a knock. And him . "Angel are you getting ready ? If you are finished open the door,please?"

No

'No way'

'Why is he still here ?'

She can't find the courage to speak up . "OK Seanah you can do this ! Just tell him to go away ! OK now _ " she speaks to herself.

"Please Go aw_"

"If you are done open the door angel!" He takes a deep breath, "How about we do something fun together? Like coloring?"

He hurriedly says from the other side of the door.She loves painting.

But as long as Seanah knows no one accompany her no matter how much she asks.Not momma, Not Jack,  not even Jimmy at this point. She is always alone.

"Open the door for me."  She wants to. But she can't. She wants to open up and play with him, this is what she always wanted! Someone to play with. Was it too much to ask. Maybe.

But now after staying away from company she is used to it. So she is hesitant. Maybe he too is busy or will be eventually. 

"Go ..." 

"Angel"  

It sounds like he is in pain .

"No!" 

She doesn't know him and her momma says not to mix with anyone but Jack and Jimmy.

"Why ? I will never hurt you ! I cannot!" He pleads. 

"But ...where is momma?" 

"She is working . Are you afraid that your momma will say something ? She won't angel , now open the door!"

"Momma won't say anything?" 

"No. I promise." 

"But _ " 

He sighs ,"It's not momma isn't it ?

You are... afraid of me ." He says slowly.  

And it is true maybe. 

She doesn't say anything. She stands in front of the door holding the doorknob. 

"It's okey sweetheart. I should understand," he says to himself  "I need to . I just _I .." He stops midway saying something?

He whispers she doesn't hear what he says next . There is something in his words.  Or maybe it's just his voice. 

Moments pass in silence.

She finally twists the doorknob that she was holding all this time. Opening the door she finds he is gone.

"Seanah wake up ,Sean wake uuup!"

Jack's voice breaks my dream again.

"You ware sleeping in while doing what in your table chair? Oops your face has some color I see!"

What?

She gets up her head from the table to see it's evening now and touch her face to find blue, red and different color in her hand.

"Ooo no my faceee!" She runs to the bathroom.Seanah loves color but not on her face though!

All day she really did nothing today. She even skipped her lunch. But nobody really noticed.

She went to read a book in the backyard where there are a lots of flowers that she planted and a mango tree she planted when she was only 7 years old. The tree grew up with her. She spends most of her time there and consider them as her friend. After reading she fed them water. Then came back  to her room when it started to get cold again.

The little angel doesn't own much books but a few and she treasures them and already read them countless of times... again and again.She asks her brother whenever he wants to give her a gift it should be a book. Since she isn't allowed to go outside she takes her feel through the books. 

All afternoon she spent her time painting. 

 She was trying to paint the flowers in their backyard in front of her window.  Half way she felt really sleepy.  

"Okay ,come have dinner monkey." He says as she comes back scrubbing her face.She nods her head ,Jack ruffles her hair while laughing.

They both go downstairs and eat dinner with their mother all the while she stays silent. 

"Are you okay Seanah?" 

"Yes momma." 

'I dreamed of him'

~~

After dinner she comes back straight to her table and tries to finish the painting. Then after finishing it she smiles with contentment and hang the painting on her bedside wall. The flowers are really pretty! 

"Seanah did you brush your teeth?" 

momma shouts from downstairs. 'Ghurrr ! Why I must brush!I already brush once in the morning!' She pouts and go to her bathroom to do so,otherwise momma won't be so happy . 

She then get in her bed and switch off the bedside lamp . Her brother told her to keep his blanket along with hers so tonight she will have a peaceful sleep hopefully.

She is closing her eyes but suddenly a certain deep black one comes into her mind. 

Syaoran

"ugh! It's because I like his name ,it's keep coming into my mind not to mention with his deep voice."

What's your name ? 

Syaoran . 

Again.

She is drifting into sleep when she faintly hears a sound coming from her window before completely falling into darkness.

~

"So delicious !" I mumble . huh?

It's not just the smell a loud chuckle can be heard too! Shr quickly gets up from her sleep with drool running down her mouth and greeted with food . Also a smiling Syaoran. 

Syaoran?!

"What are you doing here!?" 

"I thought you liked the food yesterday? So I worked really really hard to to prepare them again this morning!" He then very dramatically swipes sweat from his forehead. 

She giggles out.

'He is pretty . prettier than the flower!'

"But you weren't waking up ! So here is breakfast in bed for you." He places the food tray in front of her . she doesn't has to tell twice,before she digs into the deliciousness!

 

Then she suddenly remembers what she did to him , she didn't open the door for him even when he pleaded her to open and now she is eating the food he cooked! 

Shes stop eating and looks down . 

"What happen angel? Why did you stop eating? The food is not good sweetheart?"

"No , it is really good !!" she says still not looking up. 

"Then why are you not eating? " 

"I am _"

"LOOK AT ME."

She does without a second thought. She looks at his deep eyes . He brings his hand and cups the side of her face. 

"You can tell me if you don't want to eat this ,I don't mind at all angel . I can always bring you something else!" 

"I am sorry for yesterday!"  she slowly says with a shake of her head still looking into his deep eyes. 

He frowns and his face changes into a scary one ."Don't EVER say sorry for anything little one .You shall never say sorry and be upset . Your MY queen. you will do as you please."

Seanah gasps at his commanding tone. 

 

He quickly says sorry.

"Your face it turned scary." She mumbles.

His face instantly turns more scary if that is even possible and the next instant she is  sitting on his lap. She is quick to shut her eyes.

"Look at me " his voice is much softer and deep this time. She opens her eyes to look at him . 

"Your eyes are so pretty ." she mumbles without realizing.

A deep chuckle comes out from him . He is so beautiful this way, chuckling! 

"Are you afraid ?" 

"No." she says truthfully a smiling man can never be scary in her opinion.

He cups the side of her face.

"My face, scary still?" He whispers.

"No." It is too beautiful!

"Are you sure?" Still whispering.

He then begins to trace the side of her face slowly ... So slowly that stops her heart beat.

"Yes." Even she doesn't hear her own voice. 

"Are you going to eat now?" Still tracing.

"Yes." She breathlessly replies.

"Good." 

She is still looking at him and sitting in his lap when he brings a spoonful food to her mouth with his glove-hand "Open up." 

She Opens her mouth and he keeps feeding her. "I want some water please." 

He nodes and brings the glass close to her . She extents her hand to take the glass but he shakes his head and brings the glass upto her mouth. 

He keeps feeding her until she is full! Then wipes her mouth. Seanah starting to think that he thinks her as a toddler! 

But deep down she is loving the attention that she is getting. It's not everyday that someone pays attention to her let alone this much.

"Do you want anything else my angel?" He asks placing the tray over the bedside table.

"No I am full.Thank you." She has learned to be polite so she always says thank you and sorry if necessary to her family.

"Okey , let's get you ready." He says smiling,still keeping her on his lap. 

"For what?" She arches her head to the side in confusion while puffing her cheeks cutely.

This puts Syaoran in a daze. Then he laughs at her adorableness.

"We are going out." 

'Out !But I am not allowed!' 

"What did I say earlier. That you,my queen shall do what your little heart desires, and obviously I am here to protect you . " 

She didnt realize she said that out loud.

And what's with 'My queen?'

'huh?'

"I am going out .  For real ?"

PERORATION : 

It's snowing outside with full force. Everything is dark and cold in the midnight. Not even the dogs are awake at this harshness of nature.

But one man with black hoodie stands there with his hands in his pocket leaning against the side wall of the little home.Deep in thoughts. Some of the snow falls onto his fluffy curly hair that are peeking through the hood. He calmly stands there.

Waiting.

Waiting for what?

For the light to go off.

As soon as the lights go off of the room above his head he waits for a little bit the removes his black glove- hands from his pocket and starts climbing with such a grace , like a cat. He waits again before entering.

"ugh! It's because I like his name ,it's keep coming into my mind not to mention with his deep voice."

He becomes puzzled at hearing this coming from the inside of the room.

Then smiles to himself feeling weirdly proud as he realizes the meaning of the sentences.

'She likes the name.' 

'Not forget to mention, It's keep coming into her mind.'

He very carefully opens the window but hearing a crack makes him internally groan. Then he easily slips into the room.

First thing that his eyes search and find is the little angel who is sleeping peacefully with her mouth hanging open, nose red from the cold. 

"Cute" 

Then he looks at the painting of beautiful flowers that is hung beside her bed.

The Devil makes himself comfortable in a chair that he puts far in the corner facing his angel feeling oddly content now.

He keeps on watching his angel while wishes to hold her, sometimes he would go and tuck her perfectly in her blankets when it's not on the right places. All the while thinking how she can be this adorable even in her sleep! 

But before the sunrise he carefully goes out through where he came.
