Chapter 1

Ling's PoV

" So.now that you have finished all your dreams .what are you planning to do now?" Miharu asked hesitantly .

"I'm going to..grow.up." Ling replied sadly.

" What!? Why!?"

"Because, I'm tired of being me."

~End Flashback~

Ling sat on the roof of her apartment complex. She was beginning to wonder if what she had done was a mistake.

"No I have to grow, it's.the only way to.." she was on the verge of tears.

' I have to get stronger, I will not be broken.not again!'

She continued to think about the last few years and wonder if they had been mistakes too.

' If I hadn't participated in the tournaments then I wouldn't have won the Mishima Co. however, I wouldn't have met him.'

Ling had been thinking about him a lot, the way he looked, the way he talked or didn't talk. She thought everything about him was perfect. But, if he was perfect why did he cause her so much pain? After awhile Ling decided to go inside, she would start to train tomorrow.

~Dream~

"Ling, where are you?"

"Who are you?" Ling called out to the dark surroundings

"I'm the key to your future. I can make you forget your past. I can make you forget him."

"How do you know about my past/ Who are you!" Ling cried out in vain, the voice was already fading.

"Find me. I can help."

~End Dream~

Ling woke up with a jolt. The dream was so real. She wondered who the voice belonged to.

'She can help with my problem.'

Ling decided she would look for the mysterious person, after she trained for a few months. She only hoped that she had enough time.

Cassandra's PoV

The little girl had taken her bait. It wouldn't be long before she came here with her soul full of hope.

"All I need is one pure soul, only one and I can finally have a body again."

She thought of how she was going to do her dirty little deed.

' So many ways I could do it. I could do painfully slow, or I could finish it quick and easy. But, if I wait to long she could pose a threat, and I don't feel like a fight.not until I have a body.'

Cassandra knew not to get ahead of herself. She knew that she needed to visit her new best friend to make sure that Ling was coming. Cassandra floated down a corridor and went into a dark room. Little by little candles began to enlighten the room, until the room was fully lit. The room looked like something out of a "Tales From The Crypt" show. There were cobwebs on everything and the stone walls were covered in long blood-red velvet drapes. In the middle of the room was a basin like the one people used to wash their face in. Next to it was a gorgeous vase. Cassandra took the vase and poured out a substance that looked like water except thicker.

~Ling's mind~

"Ling where are you."

"I'm waiting."

"Come soon, if you want me to help you."

Ling's PoV

Ling woke up with a start for a second time this week. Who is this person? Why won't she leave me alone? Ling decided that she would have to put her training on hold. She needed to find this person and see what they could do. The only problem now is how to find her.

'Hmm, you would think that she would give me some sort of clue on how to find her. The place where the voice was coming from looked really old. It also had Chinese style architect.' So she decided to check around some of the older cities in China.

"I hope this will be worth it, if she can really help me then I won't hurt anymore." Ling said to herself quietly.

Ling decided to head out to this mysterious place in the morning, with any luck she wouldn't have to look so long. Not like she did to find him.

~Flashback~

"I'm sorry, but I can't see you anymore." Jin said " It's too risky, I don't want you to get hurt."

"But I came all this way to find you, I need to tell you something." Ling started

"Please don't say it, it would only make this harder." Jin finished and began to walk off

"So that's it.I'll.we'll never get another chance." Ling said as she began to cry, and took a step forward.

"Don't follow me again." Jin said without even turning around to see Ling's face

~End Flashback~

" I really hope she can help, I just want to forget everything that has happened," Ling said to herself.

' I want a new me'
