Mei was lost in a deep sleep when a bright light shining on her face stirred her. The first thing that she did was to block her eyes, and let them slowly adjust as she stared at the edges of the light on her bedsheets. As her groggy mind cleared, Mei realized that it was a babbling, energetic Skye that had awoken her..
"Why...are you here so late? Or is it early?"
"Tis ridiculously early, but I swear it'll be worth it.. I've come ta bust ya out!" Skye whispered loudly.
Mei's voice was barely audible as she mumbled; "I wasn't locked away, I just.. I do not want cause problems for Hang anymore.."
Skye sighed; "If ya have ta cut yer loved ones outta yer life ta keep him happy, then he doesna love ya, Mei.. He sees ya as a possession ta control. Is it really worth it ta close yer self off fer the rest of yer life?"
Mei's expression fell as as Skye added; "Is that how ya want Rukia ta live?"
The song that inspired this chapter is called: Away With Your Fairies By Two Steps From Hell. It’s from their new album that just came out this year(yay!)! I did not originally have this scene planned, but when I heard the song, I had to write this chapter! Give it a listen as soon as you can. It’s amazing! Also, I have a kindergartner now! Congratulations to my little man!
