Gunshots rang through the air, I could feel them graze past my head. My whole body was frozen in fear, I couldn't move. I turned my head slowly, towards the direction the bullets were headed. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion, as if to taunt me. My eyes widened in shock as blood splashed onto my face. I could feel the tears leaking from my eyes. I couldn't stop them. I couldn't stop the thugs. I couldn't stop the bullets from tearing through her heart. She fell to her knees and her hazel eyes bore into mine. I looked at her trembling figure as blood began to soak through her white blouse. She looked shocked, but when she saw my quivering form, her eyes lightened up. A weak smile displaying itself upon her pale face.
"It's OK baby girl, everything will be OK." She said reassuringly, wanting the last thing I saw of her before she died to be her smile. I heard the click of a gun behind me, her eyes widening slightly.
"Katie, I need you to look away honey." She said, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth as she spoke. I wanted to listen, to do as she said. But I couldn't move, my knees had locked and I was stuck in place.
"Please, do as your mother asks." A female said, an almost sympathetic tone to her voice. I wish I could have, but my mind stopped working by this point. Everything around me was in a haze, the voices sounded so distant. Suddenly, I was ripped from my thoughts by the sound of a pistol firing, the sound of it slashing through the air, and the sound of it shattering my mother's skull. Her body limped over and landed on the ground in front of me, a thick layer of blood coated my once white sundress. I fell to my knees, my whole world came crashing down in front of me. I felt a strong pair of arms wrap themselves around my small form, but I didn't fight back. They could kill me for all I cared.
"Why didn't you wait for her to turn around, have you no remorse!" The man that was holding me yelled, his strong voice booming. Tears began streaming down my face at full force, the way this man was holding me, it was almost comforting.
"We needed to get the job done, its her own fault for not doing as she was told the first time." A slithery voice replied to him, it caused chills to run down my spine. Suddenly, I heard the gun cock again. I looked behind me and saw the gun pointed directly between my eyes. He let out a sly chuckle, once again speaking in that snake like tone,
"We can't leave any witnesses." He moved his finger towards the trigger, before the woman grabbed it from his hands in one swift motion. He didn't look for the slightest moment perturbed by her actions.
"You can't kill her, she's only ten!" She yelled at him, causing me to flinch back slightly at her tone. She glared at the man, grabbing my arm and pulling me to my feet.
"Run, and never speak of this incident." She said, blocking the man with the gun from having any access to me. I did as I was told, I ran out of the alley as fast as my little feet could carry me. My blonde bangs getting in my eyes, obscuring my vision. I could hear yelling behind me but I just ran faster.
I woke up screaming, beads of sweat rolling down my face. My face was wet with sweat and tears. I could feel shuffling in the bed beside me, but paid no mind to it. Suddenly, I felt a strong pair of arms wrap themselves around me, causing me to jump from the physical contact. It's not that I'm not used to physical contact, its just contact in a comforting manner is foreign to me. I looked beside me and saw a messy mop of raven locks that cascaded past his shoulders. I must have stayed with Itachi last night. Usually I remember who I'm with, but Hidan thought it was a good idea to bring in 3 cases of beer. It surely didn't go to waste. It figured though. Itachi was always there to comfort me when I have nightmares, while Pein just rolled over and pulled a pillow over his head to block out the screams. My sobs came to a hiccupping stop, my vision was no longer blurry with salty tears. I could feel Itachi press a kiss on the side of my neck, before he loosened his arms around me so I could get up. I slowly rose from the bed and made my way towards the bathroom. I flipped the light switch on and wiped my face. I grabbed my undergarments and threw them on, along with a pair of sweatpants and Itachi's shirt. I looked at the clock, which read 3:34.
"If you want, you can go back to sleep, I'm gonna go visit my blonde." I said while pulling my purple hair into a low ponytail. He looked at me with a slight smirk.
"So after whatever happened last night, your going to go and screw Deidara?" He said with an amused look.
"No, I'm not gay." I replied giving him a scowl. I don't have anything against gay people, its just not my preference. He just chuckled slightly.
"I know, your going to visit your psychotic blonde friend." I nodded my head in response, before making my way towards the door.
"Just remember to knock, remember your visiting Sarah while she was drunk." I just smirked.
"There ain't nothing of Sarah I haven't already seen, and as for Deidara, I doubt there is anything to see anyway." I said before I closed the door, not waiting for his response. I made my way down the hall, which were rarely quiet. As I passed the living room, I noticed a head of blonde hair sitting on the couch. I walked over only to notice she was pretty close to hyperventilating. I gripped her shoulders and made her stare into my eyes.
"Sarah, what the hell is your problem!" I said shaking her slightly. Come to think of it, I didn't see her during the whole drunk fiasco. She just stood there, frozen from fear. I kept shaking her until her patience with me finally snapped. She pegged me in the head with something, her forcing causing it to welt on impact. I gave her a glare before looking at what she had thrown at me. My breathing hitched as I realized what I was holding. The shock on my face was quickly replaced with a devious smirk.
"Well it looks like I'm going to be an aunt." She just socked me in the arm. I looked down at the object in my hands again, a pregnancy test with two pink lines.
"Who's the daddy?" I asked, even though I had figured that Sarah didn't know, I mean come on, this is Sarah we're talking about.
"Deidara." She stated after a few moments of silence, my eyes widened from shock.
"You have been him seeing long enough for this?" I asked, not believing the fact that she has been with him for at least a month. She simply nodded her head. I pulled her into my lap and held her in my arms, squeezing her in a bear hug. Now normally, I would've been worried about a child being born into this, but my senses weren't working at the present moment. Only one thing was running through my mind.
I'm gonna be an aunt, and I'm gonna be a kick-ass one at that.
