This is where I am now.
As I ran through the woods, being alone slowly crept its way into my thoughts. I could still see the look on his face when he saw me that day, horror. At the sight of his face I ran, instead of letting him say anything that would break me more.
Shugo let me into his house, not knowing who I was. Before, I would have just stayed one night then left before I was missed, and keep running. But, the way he just smiled at me, and let me do whatever, I felt like I had to say another night.
I was safe from what I was running from, and I got whatever I wanted from this peasant. It was perfect.
As the days passed, Shugo would say things about new beginnings in life, and he would always smile no matter what just happened. I guess it got to me.
Soon, I started to work around the house, Shugo would always try to stop me. He said I was his guest. I would just laugh and start to work again. And after a time want by, I started to realize that I was starting to love him. But inside I knew that it would never work. Him being an Earth bender, and me, a worthless…other.
I don't even like to think about who I am anymore. Back then I was Yami, the girl who would do anything for Shugo. Now I'm running from the only family I've ever had. What's wrong with me?
