Anya, Peter,.. I think that's all.

Chapter 1

Holding my last breath. The cold liquid of the lake enveloped me. This wasn't the first time I had tried to kill myself. But this time I was sure it would work.

Of course not, it never would, not for me.

A strong arm wrapped around my stomach, and pulled me out of the lake. My wet hair matted to the front of my face. I saw the castle, in which I constantly worked in. I was a slave, along with the others.

"Why do this again? You know what happens every time." He asked me.

"I thought it might work, but again, I have been turned away. I am sorry Lord Sesshomaru. I will go back to working now."

He let me go to my duties. The first time I tried, I got off easy. Every time since that, it ended in punishment.

I walked to the servant's quarters to change. Anya was waiting for me. She was the only other human, besides Peter. She was my only friend. She was also in love with Peter. Her long, curly blonde hair was put into a bun. It looked better down, but it was easier that way.

She sighed. "I told you it would not work. Why must you do this, over, and over again, Skye?"

I told her what I always did. "I need to get away. I can't stand it anymore."

She rolled her eyes. "You know that will never happen. He won't let it. We are here forever since the day we were captured...Well, you better get back to work. The lord is in a good mood, and might go easy."

She left to go to her cleaning. I changed into a new set of clothes. A white kimono. The servant's outfit, as always. I dried my long black hair, and let it dry out naturally. It had some waves, but wasn't curly. I looked at my blue eyes in the mirror.

"Am I ever going to get away?" I asked. Of course, no response came. The door opened. It was Sesshomaru.

"I hope you wont try that again. You just might get what you wish for. Now go back to your duties. I am leaving tonight. I will be back tomorrow night. I expect better behavior."

He left, needing no response.

I ran to Anya right away. "What now Skye?" She was scrubbing the floors. I bent down so no one else could hear.

"This is our chance. He is leaving tonight. I'm going away. I don't care where. Just away. You can come if you want, but I'm leaving either way."

"Skye, do you really think we could get away?" she asked excitedly.

She was going with me.

We were packed in no time. "Skye.. Is there some way, Peter could come?"

"No, we cant risk anyone else. I'm sorry Anya." a silent tear fell down her cheek. "Go say goodbye to him."

She said her goodbye, and with that we left. There was no one else. No one else to care.

We walked all that day having no destination, and slept at night.

I woke up the next morning to rustling. I looked at the bushes. Something was there. I didn't know what, but I was sure it was a demon.

It came out, and wait straight for Anya. She was closer. It picked her up, jolting her awake.

"AHHHHHH," she screamed, and it rang through my ears. It took off with her. I got up and ran, but couldn't catch it. I smelled blood not too long after.

She was probablydead, and it was my fault. She never was much of a fighter.

I didn't travel much that day. Just kind of aimlessly wondered around.

I could tell he was coming for me. He always did. This could be the last time though. I knew I was in for it.

Ok well that's it, for this chappy. Please review!
