A/N: Alright. Revise number one. Lets see if I can save this horrid piece. Ha... 900 words I was so creative... *Rolls eyes*

Chapter 1: Dreams, Burns and a Broken Family.

A girl with hair the same colour as the blood that pooled around her feet stared out at a blonde figure, their face shadowed as they fought. Her ears were ringing and she was sure she heard someone shout out to grab her attention; but there was no time to be sure. At that point the only thing she could hear was her tearing flesh, and the only thing she could see was her world growing darker at an alarming pace.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Kaian awoke at the sound of her alarm her pale grey optics shoot towards the source of the irritating sound. Scowling more when she found the time read 4:30am she rested the urge to toss it out the window and instead rolled out of the bed and turned in off with a hard smack, the bells seizing their noise. Brushing her fingers along her night stand, she grasped the box of matches and struck one, pulling the flame against the wick of her candle; the flame a much more inviting light than the artificial ones wired in her ceiling. Rubbing at her face she moved to the other side of her room fetching her clothing; she pulled on a pair of old jeans and a black tank top before tying back her crimson locks. The girl then headed outside into the cool morning air as she placed her hands at her hips and she peered around the farmstead. Her family; by blood and not choice, owned a great deal of farmland and in turn a great deal of money, and she was reminded every day that none of it was hers.

'''' Flashback ''''

"Hurry up, you ungrateful child!" Sally, her aunt, screamed from ten paces away clearly irritated.

"Sorry, sorry." A ten year old girl mumbled as she wiped the sweat from her brow and picked up the heavy buckets of milk.

"I do everything for you, and all you have to say is sorry? If it weren't for me promising your mother I'd take care of you, you'd be as good as dead!" She walked off.

"Sorry" She mumbled again and followed after her aunt as quickly as she could manage.

'''' End of Flashback ''''

Kaian smiled as the memories of her mother flooded her mind. She was a beautiful but strange woman; she had always been told she was a spitting image of her. Sighing, Kaian went on, and did her regular chores with slight haste having wasted time on her daydreams. She milked the cows, fed the chickens, cleaned the stalls, exercised the horses, and fed the pigs. Her last chore was her favourite, and that was maintenance of her own animal. She smiled as she faced her horse, Eclipse. She was a black mare with a silver mane, and a patch that resembled an eclipsed moon in her opinion on her left thigh.

"Hey girl, hungry?" The horse snorted and then nodded her head as she pressed her snout to the feeding dish. "Oh don't act like I never feed you... You're such a diva." Kaian laughed as she refilled the feeder, and renewed the water. Grabbing a brush she moved into the pen and began brushing out her ebony coat, humming a lullaby beneath her breath. "Just you wait... We'll get out of here..." She murmured resting her forehead against the horses bareback as she glances at the watch fastened on her wrist. "Oh, shit!" Tossing the brush into the bin she retrieved it from she kissed the horse on the forehead. "I got to get to school." She explained as she touched the mare's snout. "I'll have Tomas exercise you alright. He'll give you a good run." Patting the horse's neck, Kaian ran inside and jumped into the shower while deciding on black as the choice of colour for the day. "Yes, I shall mourn my wasted time." She changed into a pair of black hip huggers, a black form-fitting tank top, a black leather jacket, and a pair of black combat boots. Lastly, she pulled on a pair of leather riding gloves over her hands pausing to admire the odd birthmark imprinted into her skin. It was in the shape of a triangle, the skin only a tone or two darker than the rest of her skin. She dashed down the stairs, where she was greeted by her cold-hearted family.

"Good mornin' Kai, Happy Birthday!" Her cousin Tom greeted.

"Thanks Tommy." Tom was the only one who in the family actually treated her like a human.

"Here." Her aunt threw some keys at her. "It's to my old car you're 17, am I'm sick of having to drive you places."

"Thanks aunt Sally!" With that Kaian sprinted out the door.

"Mom, that car's engine is about to go in that one. You haven't replaced it have you?" Tom questioned.

"No. What's your point?"

"Well, what if it stalls, and she gets hit or something?"

"We'll just hope it kills her won't we? Now shut up and finish your damned breakfast." Jay, their father snorted. The family went into silence.

Kaian brushed her fingers along the cool blue paint of her Aunt's 87' Mustang before opening the door and sliding into the driver's seat. "There has to be some catch to this." She muttered as she ran her hands along the interior before starting the engine, the tank full, and the CD within the system on low volume. She adjusted her mirrors, an object in the back seat catching her eye. "So that's where she hid them..." She muttered referring to the bow and quiver laid out on the leather. Shaking her head as she cursed her aunt's name she slid the gears into drive and torn out of the driveway, down the dirt road heading back into the city.

A/N: So I've decided not to really add anything, just fix them up since I don't really have the time to rewrite the whole thing. Hopefully it's an easier read now, Heh.
