Sorry it took me so long, but here it is.

Hopefully I won't have to delete it again.

The Voice Within

Young girl, don't cry

I'll be here when your world starts to fall

Young girl, it's all right

Your tears will dry, soon you'll be free to fly

When your safe inside your room you tend to dream

Of a place where nothing is harder than it seems

No one ever wants or bothers to explain

Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else

Look inside yourself

Like your oldest friend

Just trust the voice within

Then you'll find the strength

That will guide your way

If you will learn to begin

To trust the voice within

Young girl, don't hide

You'll never change if you run away

Young girl, just hold tight

And soon you're going to see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly cloaked

It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid

No one reaches out a hand for you to hold

When there's no one else

Look inside youself

Like your oldest friend

Just trust the voice within

Then you'll find the strength

That will guide your way

If you will learn to begin

To trust the voice within

Life if a journey

It can take you any where you choose to go

As long as you're learning

You'll find all you'll ever need to know

Be strong

You'll break it

Hold on

You'll make it

Just don't forsake it, because

No one can stop you

You know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else

Look inside yourself

Like your oldest friend

Just trust the voice within

Then you'll find the strength

That will guide your way

If you will learn to begin

To trust the voice within

Young girl don't cry

I'll be right here when your world starts to fall

That was the last song her father had ever sung to her.

Even though she was now sixteen she still missed her fathers singing, though had told no one about it.

"No one would understand anyway," Katherine muttered to herself.

She sat her head down on her crossed arms and leaned on the window plane. Behind her she heard her foster parents moving around. Looking out the window she saw her two foster sisters doing. 'What else...flirting with the local boys,' her thoughts finishing the statement.

"Katherine."

Turning around she saw Mariaon approaching her.

"Why don't you go for a walk? It is such a lovely day."

Nodding she went to teh door and left. The air felt good as did the sun, but her heart just wasn't into it. Instead of walking into the village she headed for the woods. Walking through the trees she only felt worse. Approaching a cliff she stood overlooking a vast canyon. Upon turning around and walking further into the woods she found a tall sturdy tree, and climbed it, as she had done many times before. Upon sitting there she saw teh two strangers enter the small village. Upon standing on the branch to look closer she heard a growling below her. Looking down she saw a...

"Werewolf," she whispered.

"Now now Velkan," a voice came from behind teh beast. "Stop growling at..."

As the speaker stopped speaking Katherine looked past the wolf to...a man? Staring at the man she didn't move.

He looked up at her with deep blue eyes that startled her. He wore all black with a black coat that went to his knees. The final bit having tied back his long pitch black hair into a ponytail.

Feeling just the slightest bit of fear she stepped backward, and fell out of the tree. Before she had time to cry out her head hit a branch and she went unconscienous.

As the sudden movement the werewolf sprang forward and caught her, holding her he brought her to the strange man.

"Put her in the woods close to the village," he said. Then stroaking her hair his eyes caught a glint of silver. "Well, well, well," he mummered to himself. Looking up he smirked at his pet. "Take her back and leave her at the edge of the forest.," he turned to leave. "Oh and Velkan, don't be seen."

Nodding the werewolf plunged into the woods. After ten minutes he saw the village ahead. Looking around he set teh girl against a tree making sure she was facing teh village, then lept off.

"Katherine!"

Stirring the girl gently sat up rubbing the back of her head.

"Katherine," her foster sister MariƩ came around a turn. Spotting her she moved over to her. "Are you def? I've been calling you for nearly five minutes. Come on! Mom and Dad are readdy mad!"

Without looking to see if Katherine followed or not she left.

All the stunned girl could do was follow her foster sister. As she moved into the village she saw it looked like a diaster. Not wanting to further her foster panents anger she quickly went home.

'No,' she thought. 'Not home, but...there.'

"Home is never going to be here," she whispered to herself.


Unseen by either of the girls the man dressed in black silently smiled to himself.

"Katherine," he said to himself getting up from his crouching position. "You and I will be meeting again."
