It seemed like a nightmare. I just didn't know why. I was in a village and the people in front of me were dying, and I didn't know why. Someone cold took hold of me and left me in the woods where I fell asleep. I woke up in that same forest. The nightmare had played in my mind over and over again that night like an old movie. I didn't know where I was or who I was. It was so quiet, all I could hear was my own breathing. There was a giant blue jewel on a long necklace, but other than that, I had nothing else with me. I looked around and there was no one else around that I could see. The moisture in the air was unusually dense I could barely see what was in front of me. I shivered as I looked down at my short black dress covered in blood stains.
I felt a like I was abandoned for some reason.
I looked up at the tree, a single white owl stood in the branch. "Are you abandoned too?" It only blankly stared at me. "I guess we can be friends…?" It hoots and flies away. "I guess not..." Why am I all alone?
"Did you hear something?" I heard a deep voice behind me.
"It came from over here." The bushes rustled behind me. My first instinct was to defend myself, but I couldn't find anything.
"Hey, girly... what are you doing here by yourself?"
"Don't worry, they won't hurt you." Something said inside me. It caught me by surprise as I trembled in fear. Suddenly, all I could see was the people falling to their deaths. Was that my doing? Was it a dream? I didn't know.
"Hey guys, there's girl here." The guy was fairly large, full of scars, one was stretched across his face. All I could think of was him falling to his death.
"They won't hurt you." The voice said.
"You're right, they won't." Blue crystals formed in front of me as I saw his companions show themselves, I could only see their faces reflected in the crystals. "You're not going to hurt me!" I yelled and all I could see was their blood spilled across the grass. I took what supplies they had and left their bodies whee they laid. I only moved forward, not looking back. I must be a monster if I came to this world alone with blood.
After what seemed like days of traveling, I was in the desert and found myself in a village hidden within it. While I traveled, my mind was trying to clear itself. All I could hear were names, some were others, and some mine. I remember "Itachi" and "Sasuke", but I couldn't put a name to a face in my head. Who were they?
"You, girl." I looked at the direction of an old man, calling from a cracked window. "You better get home before he comes." He? What is that guy saying. Besides, I don't have a home, fool. "Oh no, here he comes, go!" He trembled as he closed the window and ran from the window.
I looked down the path to see a red-haired boy about the same age as me simply walking. He had a scar on the side of his head reading like Kanji. Was that self inflicted? "What are you doing?" He glared at me.
"This boy..." Just as it spoke, I thought I saw a winged figure. What was that? What about him? What was so special about him? Why is everyone scared of him?
"I was just passing through."
"Gaara." A man appeared suddenly behind him. "Who is this girl?" He asked, scared and authoritative at the same time. He wore a mask and held kunai knives in his hands, ready to attack.
"No one." He said.
I glared at the man that seemed ready to kill me. "You can't hurt me..."
"Wait!" Another man appeared, similar mask, similar gear. "There's a symbol on her back... she is a Uchiha? The Kazekage has been informed of a little girl and an older man of the Uchiha clan."
"What about it?" The first masked threat said.
"We're not to harm the girl." The second simply says. "Girl, how did you get here? Was there a man traveling with you?" A man? Only one face popped up, a man with dark eyes and dark long hair. I just don't remember where I saw him...
"Don't touch her." The red head growled, Gaara if I remember correctly.
"I wasn't, Gaara." The second man said, panicked. "Only wanted information."
"I walked here, by myself." Though, I couldn't see their face, they seemed surprised, ad they didn't know what to do.
"We need to inform the Kazekage." The second said to the other. "Come with us, little girl. We're not going to hut you. We'll only bring you home."
"What's so special about this girl anyway?" The first said under his breath.
He pulled in closer to the guy. "This girl has been reported missing for a few years after than great clan massacre in Konoha." They tried to be quiet, but I could clearly hear them. What is this about being missing for years? Do they have the right girl? And a massacre... those memories of those people dying. Is that what they are talking about? Did I do that?"She could be connected to the massacre somehow. Besides, you know, being a missing child of the clan."
"Stay calm. Everything will be fine."
The other guy didn't seem convinced. "If we tun her in home it could mean good relations with Konoha."
The first man sighed. "Come with us, girl. Gaara, get out of here."
Gaara glared at the two. "What makes you think you can order me around?"
"We just want to bring this girl back home."
"I could hear you... I don't know anything about his clan massacre, or if I am the girl you're looking for, but if I must I will go with you." Gaara looked at me, no a care on his face. Just anger. What did the voice want with this boy?
"Okay, girl. You'll be accompanying Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro on their way to Konoha, your home." A man with red hair told me, he looked similar to Gaara. Gaara's father maybe? "I'm the Kazekage, and I am very interested in bringing you home."
"He is not what he says." I could tell he was licking his teeth under his lips, like a snake. I just looked at him and sat back. What's possessing me to listen to this voice. "Stay calm." What is their goal exactly? Why does it seem like this whole thing is a trap?
