Prologue

"Mommy!" A little girl screamed before arms wrapped around her and took her into a flash of white light. Opening her eyes, the little girl looked where she was taken. A forest filled with tall oak tress circled around a small hut sitting by a clear flowing river. "You alright?" The little girl looked up into emerald eyes and all she could do was cry. The little started bawling her eyes out and the emerald-eye woman tighten her hold on the girl, comforting her.

A young woman was watching the memory before her. It was of her when she first arrived at the safe haven. Moving from the memory, the young woman's pale smooth hand trailed along behind her, touching other memories, shimmering at her touch.

She stops at one; it's her as a thirteen year old, sitting by herself in a nook of a tree. She steps into the memory and approaches her younger self, wishing to speak to her…

Conversations with my thirteen year old self

Conversations with my thirteen year old self

She kneels before her younger self, stroking her hair.

You're angry, I know this

The world couldn't care less

You're lonely, I feel this

And you wish you were the best

The memory shifts into the girl training with the raven haired Seeress.

No teachers or guidance

And you always walk alone

Shifting again, the memory shows the girl in her bedroom, crying.

You're crying at night when

Nobody else is home

The young woman sits by her and puts an arm around her.

Come over here and let hold your hand

And hug you darling

I promise it won't always feel this bad

There are so many things

I want to say to you

You're the girl I used to be

You little heartbroken

Thirteen year old me

The crying girl disappears, showing up in a tree, laughing but has sad eyes.

You're laughing, but you're hiding

God, I that trick too well

You forget that I've been you

And now I'm just the shell

The young woman looks up at herself, smiling sadly, wishing her childhood was innocent again.

I promise, I love you

And everything would work out fine

Don't try to grow up yet

Oh just give it some time

The girl is in her bed, curled tight in a ball, having a fit full dream.

The pain you feel is real

You're not asleep, but it's a nightmare

But you can wake up anytime

Sweat trails down her face as the girl trains hard, her anger fueling her.

Oh don't lose your passion

Or the fighter that's inside of you

You're the girl I used to be

The pissed off complicated

Thirteen year old me

Conversation with my thirteen year old self

Conversations with my thirteen year old self

Walking away from her younger self, the woman looks back at her.

I wish you well

Little girl

I wish you well

Until we meet again

My little thirteen year old me

The Seeress opens the door to the find the young woman she's been caring for, step out one of her memories. Sighing, the Seeress approaches her. "You know it's unwise to have your memories floating about; an enemy might snatch one away and learn of your secrets." "I know Esmeralda; you don't need to tell me. Besides, seeing my memories like this, I can see how I once was." The young woman waved her hand and all her memories floated back into her mind. She clenches her hand. "Before my family was taken from me and I had to go into hiding."

Esmeralda looked at the young woman before her, her long red-brown hair tied with a golden cloth, her amber eyes filled with sadness. Esmeralda stepped forward. "Milady Melody, seeing you've completed your new look, what new name shall accompany you." Cold hard eyes looked at her. "Kayley."
