The Cuckoo
Cuckoo sighed.
"What a way to spend my Christmas. Hold on..."
He pulled a Santa hat out of his pocket and placed it on his head.
"Ho ho-WOAH!"
Something large and black with long claws lurched out of the darkness at Cuckoo.
Without a second thought, Cuckoo fell foward, his sword infront of him, and crashed to the ground. He saw the creature dodge the sword and dissapear into the darkness. Cuckoo rolled onto his back and waited.
"Wait for it... Wait for it..."
the creature flew into view! the creature landed on stone floor, and Cuckoo reapeared, standing up, a few feet away. Cuckoo flew foward and felt the red hot blade sink into the creature's side. With a low shriek, the creature fell onto its side, dead.

Cuckoo stood for a second examining the creature. It was shaped like a dog, but with huge black eyes, huge claws and spikes protruding from its spine.

Cuckoo walked toward the glowing red light on the other side of the room.
"Any luck?" He said, panting.


Suzuki heard Cuckoo's voice from the other side of the room after she heard a low
shriek, a small sigh excaped her lips. "No... I can't find anything..." she said, partly
hushed to cover the pain in her voice from the pain from her wound. She continued
to feel a bit of pain and the warm blood oozing down her right arm. Her body was
trembling slightly, almost unable to continue standing, but she forced herself to keep
walking into the darkness. Her left hand held on tightly to Cuckoo's halo in her hand,
for she was still a bit frightened.

Cuckoo looked at Suzuki's arm. He paused for a second. "Are you alright?"

Suzuki nodded, looking in Cuckoo's direction. "I'm fine, I'm used to getting wounds..."
she said quietly. She looked down for a moment, then looked back up, her eyes
holding a bit of sadness in them.

Cuckoo paused again and nodded.
"Ok. If you're sure."
Caught unaware, Bella's hands were suddenly by Matthew and into them he cried, 'Bella, please. You have become all that's left of what has become precious to me. I don't want you to die as well!' He continued to shiver before his eyes began to mist over before he collapsed onto Bella's left shoulder, tired. Still, he murmured 'Please. You're, all that's left... for me to... fight for.' Upon saying those words, his eyes shut, now relaxed. Finally... Asleep.

What was not expected though was through this tearful confession, a bird, black like the shadows of the night from which it emerged spied through the window and as it saw Matthew fall asleep, it flew back into the depths of the darkness.
On a grand hill only a few miles away from the mansion in which the two currently resided, a curious figure stood tall, reaching out towards the sky with its arm steady, where the bird had now perched onto. Bringing it closer to his ears that were hidden by the cloak that vieled his whole visage in cloth and its shadows, the animal cawed to him in such peculiar silence. Firmly, the figure's voice growled 'Good! I appreciate such promising news, Umbra. I suggest it's time to set the next few pieces into play, wouldn't you agree?'
And thus, he cackled as the laughter echoed amidst the storm which now began to brew.

Cuckoo paused again and nodded.
"Ok. If you're sure."


Suzuki nodded, walking back toward him. "I can't find the way out..." she murmured
quietly. She looked up at Cuckoo, looking a bit worried. She ignored the slight pain
she felt on her arm, the warm stream of blood falling from the wound.

Cuckoo looked awkwardly at her for a second and turned away. Without a word, he started jogging toward one side of the room, pausing to look at the rotting corpse of the monster lying still on the floor. When he reached the wall, he started kicking random bricks. Nothing happened. He turned back and leant against the wall. There was an awkward silence. Cuckoo started singing 'You'll never walk alone' in a worryingly upbeat fashion.
"When you walk through a storm" He ran to another wall.
"hold your head up high and don't be afraid of the dark." He started kicking more bricks.
"At...the...end of... a.... storm.... is.... a... golden... SKY!" He jumped as one of the bricks pushed into the wall as his foot went through.
"Suzuki! I found something!"

Suzuki quickly walked to where Cuckoo was when he called her name. "What is it?" she
asked quietly.

"Some kind of-" He tried to pull his foot out. He hopped around for a second and tried again. His foot came free and several bricks toppled over forming a large hole into a bright room. "Some kind of hole." He poked his head through and sighed.
"My bedroom. Now I have two big holes in the walls."

"ssssssssshhhhhhhhh, I will be okay" she said softly, gently hugging him as he collapsed onto her shoulder. she softly, rubbed his back, trying not to fall backwards, as he fell asleep, against her left shoulder

Suzuki watched as Cuckoo put his head threw the hole and giggled slightly as he said
it was his room. She lightly put her hand over her mouth as she giggled, trying to hide
her small giggles. Her wound had stopped bleeding, but it still hurt slightly. She ignored
the pain as she quietly stpped giggling.

Cuckoo climbed through and fell back onto his bed. He looked at Suzuki absent-mindedly.
"Well. That was... Scary."
Suzuki giggled slightly looking Cuckoo. She looked up at him as he stood, she felt a
small crimson blush cross her cheeks. She looked down shyly as he looked at her,
her blush turned into a brighter crimson.

Cuckoo's mouth curved into a small smile.
"Well, If you need me, I'll be..." He paused and continued. "Well, if you need me, just shout."
And with a flutter of his wings, he disappeared. After a moment, he appeared again. "Forgot something." He took the halo and placed it back on his head where it floated still. "Happy new year!" And he left again.
Suzuki nodded, a small blush still on her cheeks. She let a small giggle fall from her lips as
he took the halo from her. She walked out into the hallway, her crimson eyes looking around
as she did. She found her room, seeing she had left the door open. She walked into her room,
walked over to her bed and sat on it. Suzuki layd back and closed her eyes, but didn't fall
asleep. Her thoughts were running through her mind, one thought brought a small blush to her
face. She opened her eyes, leaning up in the bed. She sighed slighly, looking up at the ceiling.
"How can I tell him that I..." she said, trailing off, think the rest of her sentence in her mind.
"love him... I love Cuckoo." she thought.
After however much time passed, Matthew woke up up; an incredible relief ran through his mind. He could sleep. He could dream.
He could feel something in his arms and whatever it was gave him enough comfort for him to finally experiance the luxury he had for long yearned for. Matthew rolled his eyes to look up and upon seeing Bella's face, with her eyes closed as she lay in slumber, his face flushed red. But as he thought back on the rest that he had never earned in the long, agonising years that his life had barely endured.
With that in mind, he got up off the bed and whispered 'Thank you.'
after a while of watching Matthew while he slept, a wave of exhaustion hit her and she laid back on the bed, still in his arms. clsoing her eyes, she fell right asleep. Quite a while later, she was still asleep, but she could feel something move, forgetting that Matthew had fallen asleep on her bed, beside her. Bella slowly opened her eyes, to see him getting off the bed. usually when she woke up she had troubles remembering stuff for a few minutes. this time, she forgot where she was and who Matthew was. she quickly say up and looked at him then around the room, trying to remember how she had gotten there. where am I? she thought as her eyes stopped on the guy. oh yeah I'm in that mansion place she said to herself shaking her head a bit.
