Chapter 1

Warm tropical wind blew around a small island. Where a young girl on the ledge of a small mossy cliff that overlooked the sea of a small island. Her hair roots as green as the sea lead down to bright blonde. It was currently caught in the gentle caressing breeze. But she paid no attention for the young girl was thinking to herself deeply about matters of beauty. She found herself very unattractive. At the age of 15 she found herself thin with no boobs to call her own. Keria had boobs, why didn't she?

Just then a fast gust of salty sea wind blew past Kiara. The wind interrupted her thoughts and burned her small nose making it scrunch. It also caused her eyes so blue that could only be described as sapphires narrow. Stupid wind she thought. Why can't anything leave me alone.

"RAAAAA!" exclaimed someone behind her. She turned just in time to see Daxter, an orange fuzz ball, launch himself at her. She caught him in her arms just in the nick of time and asked "Is it time?"

"Yep, Kiara." he replied in his normal cocky manner "Time to go screw around with the rift gate."

"Sweet." she answered her thoughts of angst fully forgotten, as she dashed in the direction of the fallen rift. Once there Kiara saw everyone. Keria, the smart and pretty mechanic, Samos, the grumpy, knaggy, and very old sage, and her twin brother Jak in all his muted magnifigance.

"Hey Jak." she said cheerfully with a smile on her face. Jak smiled back a big toothy grin and held out what appeared to be a necklace. "Oh Jak, it's beautiful." she replied realizing what it was. The necklace was simply a leather cord with a small precursor orb attached to it. But this was not red, the color matched her eyes. Giving Jak a big long hug she jumped up into the rift.

"So how do we make this work?" she asked staring at the control panel.

"We should she if Jak still has the mojo." Daxter replied. The "mojo" was Jak's uncanny ability to make the ancient objects of the precursors work.

Jak responded by touching the biggest button and turning it.

"Oh yea, he still does!" Daxter said very enthusiastically as the rift began to turn and glow. But, all to quickly every ones excitement dissipated because an ugly creature appeared in the rift. "You can't hide from me boy." it seemed to say to Jak.

"Oh precursors what do we do?" Kiara said very frightened.

"I know press all the buttons!" Daxter exclaimed. Everyone pressed them and they launched forward. Before she knew it Kiara was spinning down a purple portal in time and she was going a different direction than everyone else.

"Jak." she cried. Then a stinging pain hit her body and the world went black.

Kiara gradually opened her eyes and thought "Wow, that was a really weird dream, Why does my head hurt?" Then she proceeded to rub her head. "I need to tell Jak." Then she touched cold concrete and reality came rushing back to her. She was completely and utterly alone in a strange buildings blocked the view of the sky and there was a presence of fear in the dry, hot air. "Where am I?" she mumbled.

"Hey girlie where did you come from?" questioned a rough city voice.

"Huh?" she asked still confused and turned tripping over herself.

"Whoa, easy there." replied the voice again grabbing her arm. Kiara looked up and saw a very greasy looking man with stubble all over his chin. He could pass as a hobo with his raged clothes a very bad smell. He appeared to not get enough baths.

"Thank you sir, but just who are you?"

"Jinx is the name." he paused taking a drag from his cigar. "What's it to yah?"

"Oh, nothing at all really I was just wondering." Kiara paused for a miniute also and took a look at the terrible buildings. "Could you tell me about this place?"

"Haven city, But ain't yah a little young to be out of the Baron's hands?" he said taking another puff of his cigar the smoke coming out of his nose.

'The who?" this man was speaking nonsense.

"Yah know, the Baron, he rules haven and takes all kids when they are three and keeps them until a certain age."

"I don't know what you are saying."

"Yah ain't from here are ya?"

"No, I'm from Sandover Village."

"Neva heard of it."

"Really, it is a beautiful place."

But Jinx cut her off "Yah, yah whatever. Just go do play or something." He made a shoo away sign with his hand and began to walk away. "Wait." she called after him.

"Go away kid." and the grubby man began to leave. Kiara at first felt alone and lost, but she had a sudden idea and began to follow Jinx.

Authors Note: Okay I put one at the end because I was sure the ones who were awaiting this story didn't want to be bothered by reading this first. I am so sorry it took me so long. But now a days I don't get allot of computer acess. But I am getting my own computer soon *CHEERS AND GRAFFITTI* So trust me I am awaiting that day as much as you guys are. But I thought I would treat you with the 3rd and final (I promise) rewrite of Kiara. Well this is only the first chapter but there will be more to come. This one took me much editing about like 2 hours worth. That's why I think it is so good. So I hope you enjoy and be my best friend and leave reveiws please.
