Prologue

Tenten looked around. She couldn't see anyone, only a dark fog. Suddenly a scream rang through the empty air. Tenten turned to see three ninja lying limp on the ground, each of then surrounded by a pool of blood. Tenten stared in fear. Suddenly she felt something wet on her hands. She slowing looked down at her shaking hands.

But what she saw were two child's hands, splatter with blood. One of the hands held a blood stained kunai. Tenten gasped for a few breaths then let out a piercing scream.

Tenten shot out of her bed. Her hands grasped a blanket against her chest. Her breathing was deep and sweat covered her body. Her eyes stared at nothing as her body stopped trembling.

Tenten winced as a surge of pain swept through her head. On of her hands instantly moved to her head. "Why won't this dream go away?"

She lower her hand as the pain started to fade. She took a few deep breaths then laid back down. She closed her eyes and let herself fall back to sleep.
