Azuly sat on her chair in her family din in her house, her leg was nervously bouncing up and down. The events that transpired a few hours ago still fresh on her mind.

TWO HOURS AGO

India had passed out , it was all so sudden, she was walking and was on the ground in a couple of seconds. She had seem completely fine when they were talking in the store, her friend didn't show any signs of fatigue or distress, not until they were almost close to her home. Azuly had called out to her friend when she noticed that India was not walking beside her, she called her name again asking if she was ok. Azuly ran over to her when India was struggling to stand and fell over onto her knees. Azuly bent down in the snow to India's level.

"India are you ok, do you need to take a quick stop?" She touched her friends shoulder to get her attention, India was not responding to her, it seemed like India didn't even noticed her presence. Azuly eyes noticed that India's iris's and pules were dilated and cloudy. She could hear India's breathing it was heavy and slow. Her concern for friend was rising as India's odd behavior continued. This time Azuly reached to shake her friend lightly to take her out of what ever trance she was in, "What's wro-Ahh!" India's eyes had rolled back and she fell face forward into the snow. Azuly started to shake India to wake her in a panic,"India stay with me! We're almost home! Come on just a little further and then you can sleep on my bed!"

Azuly bit her lip when she realized that India was not responding, she quickly rolled India over her back side in the snow and wiped the snow that was on her face.

The first thing she did was check if she was breathing, show any signs of paleness and her pulse. She was terrified about her friends condition but she had to stay calm for her friend's safety. Azuly put her hand over her forehead to check her temperature. India had a slight fever but it wasn't too bad, even so that should have not cause her friend to pass out like she did. She set her friend up from the snow and set her back up against the tree that India was leaning up against for support when she started to slow down.

Azuly noticed that India's breathing was slow, "I need to get you out this weather." Azuly looked around her surroundings to see if anyone was around. The street she was on didn't have any houses near by, the only house that was on the street was her house , and that was on the other end of the lengthy street. She sighed , "We are almost there , this is gonna be hard trying to get you to the house."

Azuly turned back to her unconscious friend, the blue eyed teen pursed her lips into a frown. India's face was turning rosy again from the cold weather, India was gonna catch a serious cold . She knew it was only going to get worst if she waited any longer. Azuly went to stand India up against the tree, But she stopped when heard something vibrating.

Azuly knew it was India's phone India had always keep it on vibrate when she was at work.

Azuly reached into India's right coat pocket and grabbed her phone. Azuly's eyes widen when she read the caller ID, She quickly unlocked the Phone password and answered it.

"Mark! Thank god you called!", Azuly said in relief. The Mark on the other side of the phone was hesitant to answer but did so anyway.

"Um..Hi Azuly. Why do you hav-"

Azuly cut him off, "Where are you right now? Something bad just happened, and I need your help."

"Um, well actually I'm turning down on your road to your house. I was on my way to pick India up from work and I got pulled over, then my parents called and told me that India was staying the night with you because of the weather and told me to head back, but they called a little too late cause I was already to far to turn back, so i was gonna ask if i co- ...Wait is that you two on the side walk!" A black Nissan Pathfinder pulled up next to Azuly and India.

"Yeah, India passed out so I need your help.", Azuly answered worried, they both hung up as Mark hopped out of the car and dashed over to the girls.

"What happened ?" Mark asked as he quickly went to checked on India.

Mark was a nicely built guy so it was a ease to pick up India's body bridle style, he pulled her closely as the harsh wind blew up against the three. He turned to Azuly and pointed to the car, "Help get the door so i can put her in the back seat." Azuly nodded and trudged through the snow with Mark putting her forearm in front of her face as the wind blew.

When they got to the car Azuly opened the door and helped Mark put India into the Car, she climbed in backseat with India and closed the door as Mark got into the Driver seat and closed his door.

He sighed and turn back to look at the two in the back seat. "Is She alright?" Azuly shrugged her shoulders, she wasn't sure if she was or not. India seemed fine right now besides the fever she had,it seemed like she was just sleeping. "I guess, she looks relax right now. "

Mark was silent but Azuly could tell that he was worried. Mark was like Azuly, energetic, happy, loving, and very sociable, sweet guy in general, he barely got mad, it took a lot for him to act out on his anger. They got along pretty well , they had been friends for a long time, the same amount of time as India. Mark was older than India by Two years and older than Azuly by one year. He had nice tan that complemented his smile, Mark had one of those lady killer faces, he was really handsome. Right now his face was covered in worry.

"Lets just get into the house so we can set India down on a bed.K." Mark nodded , setting his eyes on India before turning around and putting the car into drive. Azuly took India's backpack off of her to make her comfortable as Mark drove up to her drive way. He put the car in park and turn his over to Azuly, "Are your parents here or are they on trips again?"

"Nah, they aren't here, I'm gonna grab her Backpack and open the door for you k." He nodded as he got out the car, Azuly grabbed India's things and got out the car to let Mark grabbed b India.

Azuly waddled through the snow and opened the front door with her keys.

She waited with the door open until Mark walked in with India in his arms. She quickly closed the door, and sighed. "I'm so glad to be a warm house. Ok , Mark follow me so you can put India on my bed until she wakes up." He nodded and followed the blue eyed teen through her semi mansion home. Azuly lead Mark up the first flight of stairs in her house, and walked into a hallway on left side of the stairway. The first bedroom door was Azuly's bedroom, she opened the door to a Master-bedroom size room. Azuly chuckled as Mark whistled at her room in awe. "Just set her on the bed, I'll take your coat and shoes and put them in the front door hallway k, I'll get India's coat and shoes." After everything was given to Azuly, she took her friend's things and placed them in them Front door hallway like she she would.

She walked to homes family din, that was next to the bottom of the stairs. She was cold from being outside and worried for her friend. She sighed and sat down in one of the Caravan chairs, she ran her hand through her hair and sighed. She turned her head to the door way , could hear Mark coming down the stairs, he was calling her name to see where she had went to.

"Im in here , just turn left by the end of the steps."She called back out to Mark, she smiled faintly when Mark tilted His head in the room. He also had a small smile on his face when he walked in, whistled again as he viewed the room around him. "Living the life aren't you, shit, I should have came over your house sooner." Azuly laughed at the older Teen, Mark was could make any one laugh.

Mark pulled a chair up next to Her. "She's seems fine for now, if anything else happens we might go to the Hospital ...that's if we can get out to drive to do so." Azuly smiled a bit more at the news. "That's good.", Azuly looked through the window,"I was so afraid when she fell over in the snow and she wouldn't wake up."

Mark touched her shoulder to comfort her with a smile on his face."Well i'm glad you where with her, thanks for taking care of her, I don't know what i would have done if would have lost one of my best friends." Azuly grinned faintly."Well i just hope she gets better." She said looking at the window the storm outside only growing worst.

Now

Azuly had explained everything to Mark what had happened , from the time India had checked out of work to when He had pulled up and picked her and India up. Mark did mention that India recently was having really bad Headaches lately. India didn't mention having a headache or even act like she did, but if she did Azuly would have fussed at her for not telling any one.

India had a knack for not telling anybody when she had a problem. She knew India hated asking for help, like it was hurting her pride. She always hated doing projects with partners cause she was tedious about being the best and succeed in every thing she did. Her and Mark on the other hand were a different case cause they were her close friends, but she still didn't ask for help most of the times.

Through if that was the cause India was gonna hear a mouth full from Azuly.

Azuly right now was still in the din, she waiting on Mark so they could watch TV, He had went to check on India , who was still asleep, then He suggested on making some snacks to and watch some thing on Netflix.

Her , India , and Mark had been friends since they were in elementary school. India would have to switch schools every now and then, because of her different foster family homes, but they some how keep in touch. Mark would be so upset to see India come and go, he had a small crush on India when they were smaller and Her happiness meant the world to him.

His Parents at the time wanted to have a another baby, but Mark's Mom was unable to cause of complications when he was born so they were trying to adopt. He wasn't to excited to be no longer a single child at first and he would gripe about it all the time at school, But one day he came to school and found out India was leaving town cause they wanted to move her again, she was in tears. That's when Mark went and begged his parents to adopted her, which they did, he was already friends with her and plus they wanted a girl.

Azuly smiled to her self at those memories , she knew that was one the happiest days of her life.

They all had already made plans for when they graduated from high school, that they all were gonna move in together in Azuly's house since her home was big enough and she got quiet lonely. She wanted them to stay close and be like that forever.

"Hey I got food's to Eat's." Marked called out as he walked into the din, Azuly grinned and cheered at the snacks that were set on the coffee table. "YAY!"

---

India's eyes fluttered softly waking up, she quickly cover her eyes with her forearm, it was white all over and the brightness was affecting her eyes. She groaned as she started to sit up, she was laying down on the floor for some reason.

I'm not out side , it doesn't feel cold right now. Azuly must have brought me inside her house...but why am I on the floor?

India slowly stood up and stretched her legs cause they felt a little stiff, she felt a little sore all over but not too bad.
As her eye's slowly adjusted she was starting to noticed the very unfamiliar surroundings.

India then realized that everything around her was empty, its just a white void all around her. There was no was no signs of any presence besides her own. The place was unnaturally silent to her, she could have sworn she could hear her heartbeat echo across the room, it was so quiet. There was no sign of any entrances or exits, if anything it seemed like the room was endless, no beginning or end.

"Where the fuck am I?" she whispered to herself. She frowned when heard her whisper echoed through out the room. She was terrified of begin lost in the endless room, it reminded her of a fun house in a carnival, she hated those with fiery passion.

Except there was no mirrors to create an illusion of the endless pathways and your refection, no smoke or flashing lights in a dark labyrinth. It was completely the opposite, but it gave off the same scary feeling of being lost and never to be found. Maybe it was because India was alone, and it had a weird silence. How the hell did i get here ? I hope I'm just dreaming cause if I'm not i don't know what I'll do.

India pinched her forearm and grimaced at the pain. Yep that's real. Something was way off about this. I don't even have my coat or backpack on me someone must have taken them off of me, but i have on my work clothes and shoes. I'm gonna have to call some body. India stuffed her hand into her back pocket and froze. Its' not in there ..shit. India was on edge of freaking out.

This place is really odd, there should at least be sounds its just quiet besides my own breathing.

Through suddenly the silence was broken with two foot steps, and a new voice that wasn't India's.

"Your awake."
India's sucked in her breath in fear, there was someone here, and behind her of all places.

"You don't have to be afraid India, Its been a long time since we've meet." India was afraid to face the person behind her, this person spoke with nostalgia in their voice.

"How do I know you?" India asked her back still facing the owner of the voice. India got the goosebumps when she heard foot steps walking closer to her. India wanted to run but she couldn't muster up the courage to move her feet.

"It..Its hard to explain...right now...we've separated a long time ago for a reason, I don't fully remember why, but I came to take you back." India raised an eyebrow, was this person crazy? What does this person want from me? ...I got make a run for it before who ever this is try's to kidnap me.
India breathed slowly and gulped. The person said they weren't gonna hurt her , so she could escape without any bruises, If there were any exits for any escape.

"Turn around India."
The person was at least two feet way from her. The hair on India's neck rose , she hesitated to meet the persons request. There was a possibility that this person had no intention to hurt her or was trying to trick her. She didn't want to try to see how much patience the owner of voice had so she decided to do as they asked. Damn it I know Martial Arts and i'm choosing to flight instead of fight, don't be pussy you can probably take this person down. Just breath and do it.

India hesitantly started to turn around, preparing to face the owner of the voice, and probably the person who put her here in the first place.

India was in total awe and fear, more awe than fear. The weirdest things happened to her in life, she didn't understand most it, and thought there was no point at being angry at it or questioning it, well not until now.

In front of India stood a black figure that stood the exact same height as India. It definitely had a female features, hourglass figure like her self. The girl had a black crazy mystical and Galaxy theme skin tone, all over her body was like that including her hair.

Everything but her eyes and the middle of her chest, her eyes where glowing teal giving off an possessed look and her chest was weird. It had a crack in the middle of her chest, and there was foggy white aura flowing from there, it was barely visible but India seen it. India was most amazed by the aura she gave off, her hair flowed as if she were in water.

The sight was unbelievable, what type of drugs am I on? Surly Azuly didn't put any Weed, Molly or cocaine in her ?

India could feel that she was holding her breath and let out a small gasp. The girl in front of her was smiling, it was a longing smile. "I know, I'm kinda out of this world." She said , those words were all ever so true.

India laughed, not that any thing was funny, it was just the only way for her to respond,"No shit." India ran a hand through her hair, she didn't feel scared as much as before but she knew that this was not normal things that people were used to seeing. Well unless under the Influence. India brain started to race, that maybe this was dream, drugs, or some crazy fever dream. India's eyes widen when she felt something warm touch her cheek. India didn't noticed the girl's hand reaching over towards her. The girl had her hand touching India's face with gentile care. India could feel a cold shiver run down her back when the girl touched her. For some reason India found her self looking up into Her eyes and something clicked in her.

I'm gonna be alright.

"I know you..." India's head cocked to the side in confusion, why did she feel so familiar. She just meet this very odd looking stranger, and she was pretty sure it was a dream until she touched India. India blinked slowly, something was wrong she didn't remember this girl. India was pretty sure she would remember some one like this girl. Did this girl do something to her...no..no...this felt real. It was like remembering something from a very distant memory. It was there but yet she could not grasp it tight enough.

The girl smiled and pulled back her arm as she stepped back. India didn't realize how close she was at first and took a step back as well. India looked at the mystical person in front of her and smiled as a word came through her head. She didn't know why she smiled it just came like a instinct.

"...Your name is Soul..."India mummer softly.

Soul nodded," I'm glad you are starting to remember...I know only so much, and your memory is worst than 's shattered for some reason." India looked walked a full circle around Soul, scanning every detail about the mystical girl. India was feeling more comfortable around Soul, the odd feel of nostalgia was running through her. How could i not remember someone like this.

India quietly stop investing the girls physical features to look up in her eyes,She said that there memories were not so good so she couldn't remember their past together.

"You said that you have came to take me back?" India repeated in which Soul nodded as India continued, "Where is 'back ' exactly ?" Soul looked India confused but shook her head.

"Umm... Home...I was told to bring you back home...so we could be back together..." Soul said awkwardly. India could tell the girl was confused of her own request, some puzzle pieces were missing.

"Where is home exactly?" India felt weird asking that question, she had a home now, with her foster parents and her friends. They all knew her and loved her just like any family would. There was Mark the lovable guy , one of her best friends. Azuly her best friend that was always understanding and caring, with an exciting personalty. Her foster parents, they could be strict at times and maybe not understanding at times, but they meant well right. They had been distant lately and had a couple disagreements had made the house very hostile at times, But they were her home. Right? No, she had cared for her family that had taken her in, but she didn't always fit in, She didn't have baby pictures, early family pictures or memory's. She was placed in a home and forced to adjust for all her life, and one day she was placed in a home she could live in smiling, but that wasn't her 'home'. So when Soul told her she was going home, it made India ponder.

Soul grinned, "Lets say its very far from this place, Very far. This place has entirety of unimaginable things that this world will never ever have...Its hard to explain...things have been very unclear... but I promise you its your home ..." India looked her unsure, Her explanation was vague because of her lack of memory,it was somewhat convincing but India knew better not to just go about anywhere, there was more to the story.

"Where did you come from..? Is this place where we are from, is there more people like you? I don't mean to be rude, but its kinda hard to trust a stranger whom is very out of this world. The very things you ask of me, like to leave this place for another to which is my home, my real home. Its very Irrational of me to Trust you off the bat without asking questions, I do admit you are familiar to me and my memory is not so clear Soul. I do believe you, i just need more information." Souls lips pursed together after, India had a point, she shrugged her shoulders and nodded.

"You do have a point, Im sorry for coming at you to understand these sudden events, asking to leave the very place that you have only know and just now have gotten use to. I am a very shocking sight I do admit, and I'm glad that you believe me. I will do as you ask and explain best to my memory. " She smiled to India , and she nodded. "I know you must be tired of standing, i think you might want to rest your feet a bit while I explain a couple of things."

India nodded to the mystical girl, but was confused. She wanted her to sit down, but where? The whole place is empty and there was no sight of any furniture any where. Soul must have read India's mind and apologized. " Oh im sorry, You don't exactly know how this room works , or what this room is." Soul rose her left hand slowly and snapped two fingers.

Two large red pillows appeared and landed with soft thud in front of the two. India stepped back in shock, her mouth slightly jarred open wide. Where the fuck?! What is this room?...how did she do that?!

"Don't worry I'll explain that too, but for now please sit." India looked at Soul for a second time before complying and sitting down onto of the comfortable pillow. India sat parallel from Soul, she sighed and took a deep breath, before opening her eyes to face Soul. "Please start." India requested.

Soul took a deep breath as well as she began to explain, "I guess i shall start with this room. This room is actually someones mind. Yours to be exact. Your mind is very different from anyone's on this planet, it hold very complex compartments and personas,one can get lost in here from the endless thoughts and memory's that go through here. Right now we are in blank space part of your mind, this place is where your ideas start off from , its one of the fabrics of your imagination. But it is also a good place to train your body to become stronger and healthier, and help you heal faster when you are severely damage. This is only a part of your mind, there are many more complex rooms in your mind but that will be only ventured through only if needed for desperate times. The only reason I have any control over this part is because I'm a part of you. I have been trying to bring you here for the past few months, but you had resented to my calls. That would only result in sever headaches , I tried to make your body fall asleep to where you would wake up here but you fought strong. I didn't mean for you to have gotten those headaches but i needed you to come here, the more you fought the more painful it gotten."

India frowned a bit at the last bit of information. You mean i had suffered for months because of her!. India breathed inwardly.Calm down ...she said she was sorry.. it was harmless yet painful disconnection..she was only trying to do what was right.

Though India was a bit sour about the headaches but she also mind was very complex and fascinating, the very fact that her Imagination started here and with the possibility of other rooms being just as intriguing or more than, it applauded her. India had big imagination as child and still till to this day she does, she would draw and imagine such as : planets , different reality,stories, characters, buildings, inventions, the list would go on and grew more complex and detailed as she got older. India curiosity was her weapon and weakness sometimes.

"I'm pretty sure you wanna know how we are affiliated, because that plays a big part." India nodded as Soul continued," Like i said before we are connected, I can do imaginable things but they are limited unless you summon me." India nodded."But how do i summon you?"

Soul smiled, "Well its a little complicated, see a long time ago um... we were one person at our home. I don't remember what our purpose was back home but i know it was really important, But one day we separated well more like torn. when that happened my power kinda want way and i was sent into a long nap, while you were sent here to this reality. That's way i'm called Soul cause i'm the missing piece of puzzle that is you, and your a big puzzle that has been taken out of your box aka your reality. So when we do get home we will merge but you will slowly get the full affects of your powers over the years including our memory. I wont be able to guide you through everything cause i'll start to slip in your subconscious."

India's eyes widen a bit," So basically im gonna absorb you, how am I gonna know how to do all of theses things if your not around to teach me? "

Soul grinned,"Oh i got that covered, i'm gonna be in your mind for a little while just so you can find my replacement. She is like us but not as complex and powerful. She sent me here to come and get you. She took care of me while i rested and while you were being reborn here, until something happened to her. When we get home im gonna set you on a path to get there, she knows more than i do. "

"But there are some things im gonna teach you before we go home. Home is really bizarre, terrifying, and beautiful...and well um in the terrifying category, there people that have the ability to go around with power to destroy planets, and galaxy's with the flick of the wrist. So im gonna teach you about this thing called about Ki or life energy that will give you the same ability as them, but use it with not the same homicidal desires." India's mouth was jarred open in bewilderment,What the fuck is that universe or reality or what ever im going! Why is it so damn crazy, shit!

"India I know this a lot to take in, it was alot for me when i woke up but i realized i had a duty...There is alot out there that we don't know and its mentally draining just thinking about it, but i promise its worth it. The universe is filled with problems like just like here and even worst ones, different cultures keeping it all together but it also has breath taking moments that we hold precocious..." India stared at the blank floor thinking over everything Soul was saying, she could feel her staring at her. Some reason this all sounded real to her, like it made since, but she was hesitant for safety of course. India looked back up to Soul, she had many more questions but couldn't think of any to say.

"I'll let you think about it..." Soul said across from her, "And also there is gonna be some umm...physical changes to your body... its nothing like my body, this is merely what your inner Soul's physical form looks like...i think...either way your gonna be different but with little drastic changes. I'm gonna let you go for now.. and let you rest for a bit i'll call for you when you are ready to talk again." Soul started to stand up, and reached out to help India up as she did. India thanked her quietly.

"And just for you to know this really real and for it not to seem like im talking gibberish..." Soul placed her hand on India's chest causing India to blush at the sudden physical contact, "You haven't noticed that your amulet is not around your neck have you?"

India looked down at her neck frantically , Soul was right, it was gone. India looked back to her ready to ask her why did she take it but Soul beat her to it."My replacement i was talking about, she keep me safe by placing me inside something...and one day she went to this reality, to visit you...it was a short trip but she enjoyed it... she gave you something of yours..." Soul trailed off looking at her smiling, but India was confused about what she was saying and was still upset about her missing amulet.

India was about to yell at Soul but she stopped when she realized that Soul was glowing. Then suddenly she started to compress and transform into something small. India's eyes widen in when realizing that it was her missing amulet she was forming into, which slowly wrapped around her neck.

"Holly shi-"India stopped in mid sentence as sudden rush went through her and everything fell black.

---

India's eyes fluttered rapidly and the sudden blackness was gone. India's eyes were adjusting to her surroundings once again, but recognized bright colors that were around her. India sighed when she realized she wasn't in the white void.

India sat up slowly, and realized she was sitting on a bed, a nice sized one too. She rubbed her eyes to help them go back to normal, she smiled when she opened them and realized where she was now. She was in Azuly's bedroom, India could recognize the nobly royal theme room anywhere. She didn't remember making it here, so that meant Azuly carried her here.

India face palmed, she felt bad that her friend had to carry her in the fierce cold weather. She would have to thank her later. India yawned getting off the master bed, and strolled up next to Azuly's balcony . She pulled the royal blue curtains off to the side to check the weather.

The green eyed teen flinched at the winter blizzard outside. There was at least a couple of feet outside maybe even more, and it probably wasn't even done growing. They usually never had any bad storms around town or any snow really. They were gonna have some serious road blockage for the next two weeks, School was gonna be out for just a long,and not to mention the after effects when the snow did finally melt. The whole town was gonna be a muddy swimming pool.

India smiled though, all she really did care about was being able to play in the snow. It was childish she admit, but she never got to built a snow man really. The snow would melt as quickly as it came, but this time it was here to stay a little longer and do some damage.

India pulled her self away from the balcony smiling ear to ear about it, even though a couple of hours ago the almost froze to deaf. India walked across the bedroom to Azuly's massive bathroom, she needed to splash some water on her face.

India stared at her reflection in mirror that was above the sink. India could see that her face looked smoother than before, she didn't feel bad at all like before, she felt like she had gain extra energy in fact.

India pursed her lips when she noticed something about her face. She leaned closer to the mirror, to get a good look at her eyes. For the last few months they had been changing colors,they would either be Ivy green or turn sea teal or recently a mixture of both. Right now it was the odd mixture color of both . Azuly and Mark would tell her it was still green and tell her to stop whining about it, she didn't mind it, it was just odd that's all. Maybe recent events would have been the reason why. India shook her head and sighed pushing those thoughts back for awhile.

I just wanna relax for a bit then worry about it later.

India turned the facet on and leaned down as she cupped the running water in her hands. It was nice and cool against her face. India submerged her face in the water holding her breath, India pulled her back before she ran out of breath. She did that a couple of more times before turning the water off.

"Much better , now where did Azuly put those...ah! there they are." India grinned as walked over to the section of the bathroom that had unbelievably large walk in closet.

India could get lost in Azuly's house , she did once, but that was on purpose, she didn't want to go home and deiced to play hide and seek. India grinned. I'll have to get Azuly to play our favorite game of hide and seek heh.

India reached over for a towel that was in Azuly's bathroom closet. She purred softly into the towel it was fucking soft to say the least. Some times India secretively wished she was adopted by Azuly's parents, just for the lush of money and Items they had, and of course because of her friend Azuly. Azuly was truly living the life that her and Mark wanted, But India knew better, Azuly's parents paid no attention to their only child. Azuly's parents would occasionally come and check on her, but they didn't show affection to her as much, maybe a pat on the head to say the least. Marks parents were strict and unreasonable but she knew they cared. Well they did at least, the sudden tension over the house was gnawing at her. India frowned and shook her again as she dry her face.

Worry about that later too ...ugh!

India sat on the bathroom floor her head resting against the wall. India instinctively took hold of amulet to rub the surface of it to calm her down. India curiously stared at it.

India's thoughts about what Soul said were invading her mind,she really didn't know how to feel about. She felt bad. Cause she wanted to leave to this different reality that she talked about, with no turning back. She didn't want to leave her friends, her only friends.

India knew that her life was always a mystery because she was an orphan after all, but she didn't imagine her self being this fucking Important that she was destined to live in another Reality or Universe. The story was missing a few pieces , but hell so was her life.

India growled silently at herself, she was acting depressed about something that may or may not be real. India looked at the jewellery hanging across her chest, she sighed and grasped the amulet between her hands and brought it up to her eye level.

India glared at the Amulet she hold dear to for years, she was gonna test the faith she put into it over the years.

"Soul...if you can hear me...i want you to know i wanna go home...but i just need a little time to get things sorted out k." She whispered to the amulet, she waited for some type of response but frowned when nothing happened.

"Glow to let me know that your listening ...please...I don't wanna feel like a idiot for wanting to feel whole by speaking to an Amulet." India's voice was soft and almost desperate.

Tears nearly filled her eyes when the amulet started to vibrated and glow in her hand.

"Thank god im not crazy...Thank you ." She hugged the amulet closer to her chest and sighed in relief.

She wiped her eyes and rose up from the ground, she felt a little better knowing that Soul was real. India smiled and walked out of the bathroom shaking off the frustration.

This is too much stress for a barely aged sixteen year old.

"I know what would make me feel better some food! Time to raid Azuly's frig!" India said, hunger quickly winning over thoughts.

---

Azuly and Mark had gathered up in the kitchen after their movie and little snack. The two had agreed to cook dinner together, after arguing who would cook what for quiet for some time, they had come to a small agreement.

Mark surprisingly was a good cook he knew his way around the kitchen, though he had some trouble cause of the way the kitchen was shaped. Azuly was just as skilled, though she mainly focused on deserts she was still a good cook. It had turned into a cook off in the huge kitchen, not a mess one thankfully. Dishes were being set on the long dinning table in a quick haste. Mark's chicken casserole, ribs, baked tilapia , home made biscuits, lasagna and nicely made Peach tea. Mark quickly cleaned off the messes he made in the processes of making dinner he didn't want to be a bad house guess, even though him and Azuly were close friends. Mark cleaned him self up in the bathroom, he was curious how his friend did, he was so engross on besting her in cooking that he forgot to take a glance at her work. Mark made back to the table and grinned at his work that was on there, he took note of Azulys choice of food, It was mainly baked deserts .

Azuly had placed most her food near the center of the table on traditional plates. Mark could see that she put her heart and soul into it. There was traces of Uruguayan style in the desserts. She had creamed stuffed curios she was well known for making some for India for her birthday. As well as the Alfajores that were staked next to them. Mark smirked when he seen the Hispanic wongtons. He knew Azuly was part Uruguayan , she would go visit her grandmother who lived in South America for the summer when she was younger and until her grandmother passed a few years back. He never seen her cook ethic foods other than the treats she made for India who never shared.

He narrowed his eyes, she had some good tasted and that meant she could best him. Could.

"You nervous?..I know I'm a great cook and all but no need to be frightened by such greatness." Azuly chuckled behind Mark, she was teasing him trying to bait him in. Which none the less worked.

Growling Mark turned to face his rival whom was standing much more confident as ever, a smug grin stretched across her face. She had her arms crossed as she stared at her long time friend.

"How dare you! Insult my cooking with such profound sweets!" Mark said as dramatically as ever.

Azuly only answered with a wicked chuckled, the kind where its great on animated DC movies but cringy as fuck in person. Through none of that matter at the moment," Such pitiful attempts to best me in culinary arts, and how dare you insult my Uruguayan ancestors. You stand in the very home of Mhua , the one whom gave you a home to sleep in cause of crappy weather. I'm Gorden Ramsey in this bitch! este es el final para usted mi amigo! (This is the end for you my friend)" She ended, Mark understood everything she said, partly but he wasn't gonna let her know that.

" Don't think i didn't understand what you said in Spanish, I took two Spanish classes in high school and past them ..sorta..And how dare you say your great Gorden Ramsey! Such words coming from you are way out your pay grade! He is the reason why I live and breathe to cook such foods, He is my hero! And you shall pay for ruining his name. He will always be great to my world, his greatest word echoing through out the world 'Wheres the lamb sauce!?' " Mark had put his hand over his heart, bowing his head in Gorden Ramsey's name.

Azuly only grinned darkly at Marks rant,"No it shall be remembered like this ¿Dónde está la salsa de cordero? (Where is the lamb sauce?)" Azuly watched as Marks eyes filled up with rage.

"No...no...you will not be forgiven for ruining his best quot ever! You are a Punto!" Mark yelled a in a dramatic fashion. Azuly only chuckled making Mark even him more angry.

"Why thank you mark..." Mark looked at his friend confused why was she laughing.

"What is so funny you villain?!" Mark yelled in a weaken voice.

"It just...Well i guess those Spanish classes were no good cause you said 'Punto' which means point dummy, you where trying to say Punta... bitch."Mark growled at himself and at Azuly, though she was correcting him she directed to him as a insult at the end.

Mark was about to continue there little scene but stopped when heard munching noises from behind him and Azuly. Azuly ready to continue the act , wondered why mark had stopped she waited for him but he did not . It got awkwardly quiet until she could also hear the munching sounds. The two faced each other.

"Do you hear that?" Mark asked as he slowly looked behind him.

There was no one there shockingly, just the table full of food , nothing seemed different, But the munching continued. It was in the room with them, it sounded too close. Mark turned when heard Azuly gasp suddenly.

"You ass hole ! You've been eating my Curios behind my back, why did you eat all of them!?" She scolded the older the older teen. Mark looked to the plate that once had the curios and frowned. They where all gone, not one crumb was left on the plate.

"I didn't eat them. Hell i was too busy worrying about my food." Mark claimed, Azuly hesitantly trusted his alibi. Mark narrowed his brows, he examined the food that was on the table. The food he had made was also disappearing.

"My food is gone too"Mark said to Azuly.

Suddenly a hand reached over the large table and quickly grabbed on of Azulys deserts. It quickly disappeared over the other side of the dinner Table with the cookie. The munching sound soon followed as that happened. Silence once again filled the room. Mark and Azuly looked at each other before looking back at where the hand disappeared from, then looking back to each other.

Azuly's brows narrowed and mouthed to Mark quietly 'Did you see that ?'.

Mark nodded vigorously and mouthed back, to Azuly, 'Hell yeah, You let a homeless Man into your home! and he's eating the food!" It was more of a loud whisper breaking the silence.

Azuly sweat dropped at the older teen's idiotic statement and slapped the back of his head with a soft thud. "Idiot." Mark flinched and rubbed his head frowning at Azuly.

"You k..know i can hear you ...two.."

The two teens turned over to the voice and smiled when they noticed the Munching bandit was someone they recognized.

"India is that you ..?"

The green eyed teen popped her head up from behind the mountains of food, a stick of what was left of a curio hanging out of her mouth as well as crumbs all over mouth. "UM...Ye'ah." She said in between the bites of food.

Mark ran around the table and tackled India into a bear hug, "I was so worried for you! My Indigo, are you alright?" India smiled as Marks buff arm slowly crushed her in a a loving hug. She nodded weakly and tried to swallow the food that was still stuffed in her cheeks.

"God dammit India you scared us!" Azuly rushed over to check on her younger friend.

Mark loosen his grip allowing her to swallow her food, he and Azuly began to examine her. Azuly pulled a chair up next to India and started to ask India questions as she keep checking her physical appearance much to India's displeasure, she wanted to eat her stomach was aching to do so.

India pouted when Azuly put a flash light to India's eyes to check them."Ow..Azuly i'm ok for the last time. I don't feel dizzy or nauseous, in fact the only thing i wanna do is EAT." India growled at Mark when he made India be still. She didn't know why they had keep prodding at her like some dead frog, she said she was ok, looked fine. She glad that her friends had saved her but she didn't want to touched and mushed by big bear hugs. Once she had set her mind to eat to relief some stress she was determent to finish that goal.

Azuly pursed her lips as she looked at her antsy friend. She was completely fine, she didn't have a fever like earlier in fact she looked like she just had a well rested nap. Azuly had checked for the foggy haze that was in her eyes when she had passed out , but couldn't find any trace of it. India was a different person than from a few hours ago, acting as if it never happened. Azuly continued to ask her friend questions, which she would answer with a simple 'yes' or 'No'.

India had been out of it for at least four hours tops,in the comatose state. Something was oddly wrong with her friend even though she showed no sign of uncomfortable behavior besides her whining about food. India was completely fine. Azuly was no doctor but she took E. in high school for these types of situation. Maybe she's fine...for now ..i'll watch her while for a bit in case she starts to have sudden changes.

Azuly sighed at her grumbling friend and hugged her once more,"It wouldn't hurt to say thank you ...we did save you and all that jazz." India's irritated face turned soft at Azulys comment and hugged her back.

"Sorry..Thanks for saving my ass Azuly" Mark coughed from behind India , and she rolled her eyes at the older teen. "And Mark."

Mark awwed and hugged the green eyed girl kissing her forehead before pulling back."You really did scare me India, I thought I was... gonna lose you." He gave her a soft but sullen look. India blushed at the older teens nice words. Though the way Mark said the last part stuck out in her head. '...gonna lose you'. She noticed a glimpse of the look he recently was wearing around at the house.

India try to brush though thoughts aside , and tried to focus on her friends and food.

India brought a goofy smile to her face,"Sorry for acting so grumpy I was just really hungry... as you know i sorta skipped lunch heh. "

India turned to face Mark directly, she noted that Mark was staring oddly at her, there was a question that she had to ask, "Oh before i forget to ask, How did you umm.. get here?"

Marks gaze turned to the ceiling taking his eye contact away from her , "Um well, I was on my way to pick you before the weather got bad, I had to pull over unfortunately." He frowned lightly, his glaze now to floor. Why is he avoiding me?

"I know you texted me , it was the cops right?" India said chucking, Mark looked up slowly smiling faintly.

"Well..not really i kinda lied about that..."

India's eyes narrowed at Mark,"What...why the hell did you pull over then? I had to wait for you outside in the cold you know." Mark looked as if he was deciding wither or not to tell India, she could see the hesitation in his posture.

"Lets just say its between Me , Mom and Dad...nothing for you to be concerned about."He then smiled. India growled inwardly, the smile he wore was completely fake, Azuly may have not catch it because India knew Mark better than her. Mark was hiding something from her, just like his Parents. It was slowly pissing her off when ever she was left in the dark.

Ugh!...i hate when he throws Mom and Dad excuse to lie to me...Just tell me already!

India tried her best not to look upset at Mark, and pulled it off with a nervous laugh, "Well I hope it wasn't about the food i order on Amazon, i kind used Dads Credit card to buy some 'Fat Kid snacks' heh...You guys know how crazy i get when i see food hehe." India smiled as she changed the subject.

Mark and Azuly chuckled at the girl, "Yeah we could tell...you nearly started to destroy the food we made. And something tells me you weren't gonna stop and share ...were you?" Azuly pursed her lips in to a slight frown when India sheepishly nodded. India noticed her blued eyed friend and laughed nervously waving her arms in defense. Ever since India was child she always had a strange appetite, simple small meal would not help her starving stomach, it was hard to control some days and would fail to comprehend anything at school at times because of it. So when India found a table food of nicely large proportions size dishes on the table she dug in like no tomorrow.

"Hey..what can I say , I got an appetite that can't be helped, its either be Eat or ...umm...or be starved in the world...hehe..you..know what i'm saying..right ?"

Mark shook his head as Azuly face palmed at India."And you are the smart one because ?" Azulys voice dripping with sarcasm.

The younger one out of the three stuck her tongue out at her peers." I wanna do less talking and more .."India grabbed a handful of cookies and stuffed them into her mouth."Ea'muh'ting " India usually ate with manners even with the craving hunger cravings , she ate like a lady. Though after recent event she just wanted to relax, she was hanging around friends any way. It was not something she practiced but it was ok to let loose sometimes.

The older teens quickly started to gather what they wanted to eat on their own plates, the food wasn't going to last long with India acting the way she was with the food. The older two sat at the other ends of the large table and dug into their master piece. Everything seemed better now that India was awake and better than ever. They ate as they talked among each other and help clean up the kitchen when everything was finished and devoured. Now they were all huddle up into the din room watching Netflix.

India on the other hand was feeling uneasy, she felt better physically, no head aches or fever. It was an uneasy feeling she was getting every now and then from Mark. For the past few weeks her and Mark had not spoken much as they would have as they were close friends. She would only see him when he would pick her up from school or when he picked her up from work. There would not be a long conversation between the two it had became quiet and awkward lately. Mark too had started to show the same behavior as his parents at home . It had nagged her for the longest cause no one would say anything, well no to her at least.

She tried to push back the curiosity that wanted to ask Mark why the sudden distance. It did not help when Mark would continue to stare and watch India, remorse flickering in eyes every time India would catch Him. He was cuddle up with Azuly at moment inside a thick warm blanket, India herself was sitting by herself across from the older two, tucked inside a warm soft blanket.

The alluring questions were ruling over her thoughts. India growled lightly when she could see Mark staring at her out the corner of her eye. Mark sneaking glances at India for some unknown reason was getting very irritating to the girl. It was like he knew some dark intensest secret about her, and he was on the edge of telling her with the way he would look at her with regret. India knew it was related to the hostility in their home. India wanted to yell at her foster parents for ignoring her, the sensation of regret lingering in their eyes but she never did pester them to find out. Trust was never really embedding between them, there some trust but it only went so far.

But she trusted Mark with her heart and soul, he knew her worst fears, always made her smile and yet here he was betraying her with a secret. He was the person she could cry on when she felt like she was alone, but know he was the one making her feel alone.

India turned her head to face the older teen that was staring at her, having enough of the intense side glances he would give her. She had caught Mark this time , looking at him dead in his eyes. India's eyes narrowed at the older Friend causing the teen to fluster at her facile expressions. Mark paled when he knew he had been caught, trying quickly to turn his eyes to the television as if India had never seen him.

India growled loudly gaining the attention of Azuly whom was unaware of Marks odd behavior, Mark continued to ignore India and focus on the TV.

India gritted her teeth at Mark, why was he ignoring her!? Azuly frowned at India's sudden behavior. "Whats wrong India? Just chill." Azuly looked at her friend worryingly when she could see that India was only getting angrier. Mark fidgeting as he tried to watch the movie that currently playing on the screen. A pillow roughly connected to his face knocking his head back.

"India what the hell!?" Mark growled now, he was now facing India.

India glared at Mark now having his full attention. "What!?" India yelled at him.

Azuly got between the two before anything could get worst between the two. Azuly looked confused as hell when India was yelling and attacking Mark out of nowhere. India got up from the couch, she had enough and headed for Mark. Azuly got in front of him and waved her arms out to defend the much larger teen.

"Move out the damn way Azuly .This ass hole has been staring at Me. He has some fucking secret about me he is hiding." India's glare meet Marks frustrating glare, it was the same look everyone around her was wearing expect her in her home, she wanted to know why. Why everyone was abandoning her, in a slow and painful way. India tried to ignore it for the longest but the more she thought about their behavior towards her, just made her want to snap. Her parents weren't gonna give her answers, though she thought Mark would crack sooner or later cause they were too close to hold secrets from each other. Though now it seemed some secrets wouldn't be exposed so easily.

Azuly burrowed her brows at India. India could be so paranoid sometimes, she would lose her mind if ever had a stalker cause she had a paranoia of being watched from stuff that happened to her in the past. Though India was acting more hostile than deranged, in the past when they were all younger, India had a history of angry outburst when ever a someone would laugh and point at India mainly spreading rumors , picking on her because she seemed like an easy target, without her knowing the reason why. "What? Mark are you hiding something from her?"

Azuly looked at the older teen, she was really confused but she was trying her best to defuse a fight, she knew how India could be if she really was upset. And if looks could Kill Mark would be a dead man. India had been growling as loud as ever nearly sounding like an rabid yeah she was pissed.

Azuly was was glad she had her back turned to India and was facing Mark instead, though Mark wasn't making her feel any better. Mark was looking at his feet with a frown on his face. He was acting hesitant to answer her question. India gritted her teeth at Mark. He sighed in defeat.

"...Yes...I'm hiding something from India." Azuly could see the pained expression on his face, He was very uncomfortable talking about what ever he was hiding. India's demeanor soften up slightly, biting her tongue as Mark continued.

"India ...I...I...promise you that only kept this from you cause Mom and Dad Told me not to ..." He took a step forward to India, his face Harding up to a serious look.

India pursed her lips, trying to hold back a growl,"That doesn't matter. We are friends your not supposed to hold fucking secrets and leave me in the dark acting fucking depressed and distant from me. Im sick of it." She said venomously. Mark and Azuly grimaced at the tone of India's voice. They both knew India had her Abandonment issues, she would normally just shrug it off when some one didn't want to bothered, but India could have the worst Temper if someone pushed the wrong button.

"India..its not like that...not this time..." Mark said, he gently moved passed Azuly to get to India. Azuly keep quiet as Mark made his way to her , she was completely lost. India didn't tell her about the recent issues she was having at home nor did Mark.

India growled and placed her hands on her hips. India was getting very unnerved how Mark was talking. She was trying to be understanding but her anger was getting the best of the green eyed teen. "How is it different!? Its about me , its too damn obvious that its about me other wise everyone would have stopped avoiding me like the damn plague. Your my best friend i tell you everything...damn it...and it isn't fair ...you keep looking at me like you regret meeting me...and it hurts..." India voice was breaking, she was so angry that her friend was torturing by pushing her way that she was nearly in tears.

"This has been going on for Months now...No one sits with me at the dinner table..comes to my School events when I invite you guys...i try to ask for your help with school and you... just..push me away...and if its not that Mom and Dad always finding a fucking reason to ground me for the dumbest shit!...I tried ignoring the fights and being abandoned in the house alone by them... But i can't...i can't when its you...Telling someone about what's going on is out of the options, they'll just take me away...and I doubt you'll come by to get me..." Azuly felt horrible, why didn't India come to her about this.

Mark suddenly grabbed India into his arms, picking her up and taking her out of the room. India wasn't fighting back as he hauled her away.

Azuly blinked confuse at the sudden movement of the older teen, and watched as he took India upstairs. She could see the tears that where about to fall out of those sea green eyes , Mark hated making India cry. Azuly pursed her lips, she had no idea that India was dealing with this, she too wanted to be angry at Mark, but she knew Mark had his reasons and Azuly hoped it was for different reasons why. She could hear Mark running up the stair to one of the rooms , he wanted privacy with India at the moment.

Azuly sighed and sat back down to her spot before the drama waved out like a thread in a couple of seconds. She hoped the two could settle the problem together.

Azuly dug her hand into Marks popcorn bag grabbing a couple of of the buttery corn. They would fill her in the whole situation that she was unaware of as soon as they came back down.

If it wasn't too personal, she knew when not to prod India too much if she wasn't comfortable. Azuly would always tell India about her issues about her parents, no one else would listen, Mark would but India understood on a whole another level. Azuly would rarely see her parents when she was younger, the only parent figure she ever had was her nanny that lived with her ever since Azuly was born. Though her Mother and Father fired her couple years back when she entered high school, amused that Azuly was fully capable of taking care of her self. India was alien to affection with Marks Parents, but tried her hardest to understand she didn't like talking about it as much cause she felt like it would eventually go away just like the various of homes she was placed in.

She was glad she had friends like Mark and India , she wouldn't have survived if it weren't for them. They all had their issues that they were all gonna have to deal alone ,though Azuly didn't look forward to that she tried to accept it. Like now for instance , Mark and India were gonna have to deal with something that was kept from each other.

Azuly grabbed the remote to the TV frowning as flicked through the movie suggestions. She sighed being left in the dark is frustrating.

"I wish Season 2 of Stranger things would come sooner."

---

India stared at her feet quietly her anger had slightly went down, tears were now streaming down her face. She was biting down on her lower lip as she concentrated on floor and not Mark.

The older teen had brought India to a guest room that was deep into the house,Mark made sure that him and India could talk without any interruptions. He walked and turned through out the halls of the Manson, purposely getting him self lost just to have a far enough distance.

India said nothing to him during the whole thing,she was to angry to say anything and too sad to fight back.

She could tell that Mark was getting very uneasy with her behavior, she was loud, irate and bitter, now she was in a completely different attitude. India was sitting up straight and unnervingly still. She was very ashamed how she acted in front of Azuly in her home, she had kept Azuly in the dark for a reason and now India broke her own rule by bursting out in such a way.

India gripped the side of her pants in frustration,"What are you going to tell me?" she asked softly, it was barely audible. She stared at her feet as away to avoided the teens eye contact,she didn't know what she would do if she looked him in the eyes.

She could feel that Mark had sat on the other side of the bed as the weight shifted. She could hear Marks sigh in defeat from the other side of her, he inched closer to her side, she moved her Eyes sight away from Marks presence.

"I can tell you everything...from the very beginning ... Mom and Dad will be very displeased with me, but no secret is worth keeping if it's gonna ..hurt the away you feel about your self or even make you fell abandoned... India I love you from the moon and back..and i would have never keep this going if i knew it was hurting you.."India gazed slowly rose to face Mark, her face was still figuratively and literally.

She could tell that the older teen felt guilty, to go against his parents or his best friend, he loved them both but only side was gonna have his trust.

Mark sighed as he looked into is friends eyes to see any emotion from what she was betraying. It hurt him to see India like this , he had avoided her at all cost for a while, he was getting his own apartment soon just so he get out of the path of his parents arguments. Life wasn't so great as he wanted it to be at his family home ,there were t words that were said that could have never been taken back that had cause the break down of his family. Mark knew what was going on , it was way worst that India realized. It pained him every time to think of the unknown truth that India didn't know, but India was involved in this as well. She didn't cause any of the down fall, but was nearly one of the affect's of the growing hostility between his family. Mark couldn't bear to tell India , though the inevitable was going to happen either way, now he felt like a fool for keeping her in the dark.

Mark took an shaky sigh, running his hand through his hair as searched for the words to say.

"I know that I have been distant from you..and so have Mom and Dad.." He stated of softly, "It all started last summer... when the arguments started with Mom and Dad. They were growing a hatred for each other.. It started with small disagreements.. then escalated to broken glass and furniture. It was a good thing that you were gone for the summer so you didn't have to the fights.. me on the other hand I had gotten more hours at my job just to stay away from the shit. ...some times I would have to break the fights depending on who would was madder."

"..When you came back home.. I had set them both down and told them that the fights would have to cease when you were around..I try to make sure that you heard none of it..I was trying to protect you...it was most serious conversation i ever had with them...I think i scared them ..i was threatening them , throwing anything i could grab, when they thought i was kidding..that is when we started to diff apart from them.." Mark had a bitter distaste on his face, India could see him grip the sheets of the guess bed in anger. His happy go luck demeanor was replaced with anguish it was only on rare occasions that many people got to see him this way.

"None the less they took my threat seriously...well for a while they did..." a sad smile reached his lips as he recalled the events,"I should have went for my original plan. I should have taken you with me and we could have gotten an apartment together so you wouldn't have to stay in that damn house ...They ..i can't believe that they could just change over Night like this... they're not the Mom and Dad that raised me..they are bitter...and cold...They put on a fake Mask for you so you don't see what is really happening ...they care for you...it's just ... They are so filled with rage for each other that they don't see the people that they are hurting ..." Mark struggled to speak, he was biting back a couple of tears of his own.

They green eyed teen felt startled , she had no idea that was really the tension that was in the house. The fact that her foster parents had drove off their own son from wanting to be at his home,it didn't seem real. They ar-no were understanding and peaceful people, and now were only faking their love just because Mark asked...Just to protect her. Guilt ran through her body , Mark was suffering seeing his parent diff apart.

She had only seen a couple of their fights when they didn't bother to take it to their garage or their room, and fights were vigorous, downgrading comments were passed to each other. That was only a taste of their actual fights according to Mark. Now it made since when every one was gone but her. Mark was India's rock to cry on and his recent absents did upset her but now made her feel horrible that he was dealing with this alone.

India move herself next to Mark and grabbed his hand gently. He was shaking unnaturally fast, India rubbed her smaller hands against his to calm him down. Her anger now replaced with remorse for her friend.

Mark was surprised by the sudden action by India but didn't fight against it, he missed her touch, he had been missed her dearly when he removed himself away from his home and left India all lone. He pulled her closer in his lap holding her like a lost teddy bear. India blushed at the embrace that they were in but relaxed in her friends arms. They stayed like that for a while in silence. Mark spoke starting the story again.

"...They had decide on getting a Divorce. I was upset but relieved that the madness would end...I couldn't stand it any more.." India's eyes widen. A divorce...when was this decided ...they could at least told be about that...if they are getting a divorce that means that i have to choice who i want to live with...fuck.

India was cut off in her thoughts as Mark continued to talk. "When they decided on the divorce ..they forgot what i told them about fighting around you...they got bold and honestly didn't care if you heard them or not. You should have not heard them..and they should have not lashed out at you or abandoned you...Im just as much to blame for not taking you away..." Marks arms tighten around her as he spoke about his parents, his voice deepen as he spoke in anger. It scared her when he got like this, she gently rubbed his lager hands to calm him down.

"I didn't want anything to do with the divorce plans on who was getting what...but had too cause i had to make sure you would be alright..At first there was no mention of where the living arrangements where for you. I had to bring it up first." He sneered in anger," I thought they were gonna save you for last,but after the last few months no one said anything.. then i thought 'Maybe they feel bad for making you choose between the two of them'...so i said i was going to deiced for you..which meant i was going to take you but they didn't know that..but Mom and Dad disagreed with me...we never got back to it until Today...they had made..their fucking decision ...with out my consent ..." He paused as tears escaped his brown eyes.

"I hate them for it..." He said weakly, his voice was breaking again. India wasn't looking at him directly but she could tell that he was holding back a sob but felt his tears drop down on her shoulder.

India could feel that something was wrong, her gut was telling her that everything was not alright. Mark was nearly sobbing on her shoulder, she couldn't bring her self to look up at him to find out what was the answer. She didn't want to talk about it anymore, regretting for even yelling at Mark for being left in the dark.

India closed her eyes tightly and gripped onto her friend tightly. Don't tell me..don't tell me ...I don't wanna hear it...I don't wanna know India try to tune Mark out, No its not real..This is too much in one day...

"The reason why i was late to pick you up...I had got a call...from Mom...and she told me what she done..." Mark struggled to speak, his sobs becoming stronger as came closer to telling her why he had been staring at her with remorseful eyes.

Mark don't...

"Mom and dad had ...had..signed the papers to send you back to foster care..."

No...

Age 757

Planet Kasot

"You have reached your destination Planet Kasot."

A man yawned as he awoken to the metallic voice of his ship. He had been asleep for four two days in his space pod, and well rested inside through out the trip. He turned his attention to the control panel of his pod, he grimace as the bright light glowed on the screen of his pod.

He sighed and went to check his pod current maintenance, it would be a shame if his pod had taken any damaged on his arrival. He would have to see if this planet had any replica of his make of ship or any feasible ship that could take him to a space station. If they didn't he would have to be forced to call his employer, whom would more than likely punish him for the inconvenience.

The individual was glad when the report on the ship for any damage was clear.

He turned of his control panel and grabbed a small device with a red screen. With his other hand he grabbed the control to his pod to and clicked one of the buttons.

The door to the pod slowly opened, allowing the light from out side to enter the pod.

The man smiled lightly as he climbed out of his pod and onto the surface of the planet.

"Finally some stretching room." He stretched his muscles that were still through out the whole trip. Looking at his surroundings he noted that the planets stratosphere was the color blue, which meant that this planet had very healthy breathable air. The landscape had a soft Lavender color, the vegetation seemed decent. Decent enough that the planet might be saved after he finished his current mission.

He had landed at the very far out skirts of the city he was supposed to visit. It had also seemed that none of the locals had noticed him either. Good. A dark smirk grew upon the young warriors face, as he placed the small device over his eye.

It read the current power levels that were closes to him. None was strong enough to even lay a punch on him, the highest at the most was 100.

"Easy pickings."

"Prince Vegeta! Are you awake?" A gruff voice yelled from the scouter.

Vegeta grumbled at the voice but answered anyway, "Yes Nappa. I'm on my way to one of the City's. I am gonna pay the locals a 'Visit'. So could you not yell so abruptly ."

The voice on the other side of the scouter chuckled."Ok. I will meet up with you in a couple of hours after im done with the global scan of the vegetation of this Planet."

"Copy. Do you have any current status of Raditz?" Vegeta asked.

The Nappa sighed from thew other side of the scouter, "Yeah, he has been on the Planet for a couple of hours in fact. I've only talked to him once when I landed, I haven't talked to or seen him since" Nappa snorted ,"Knowing that fool ,the brat is probably stuffing his face in with the locals food supply."

Vegeta chuckled as his stomach growled at the mention of food, " Shit, i might just do the same after I get done with our Mission."

Nappa grumbled in the scouter,"You two are going to the the death of me, constantly... you especially Vegeta , try Frieza's patience and he punishes you both for this shit every time." Vegeta rolled his eyes , Nappa may have had a point but he didn't need Nappa telling of right now.

"Ugh.. Nappa ...stop with the pestering. After this Mission Frieza gave us permission to go on Vacation for two months, he probably doesn't give a damn about how long it takes to exterminate the planet." Vegeta reasoned and smirked as he cut off the call with Nappa.

It had been a long time since he could take as long as he wanted on a mission. Toy with the inhabitants for a while , over throw the governments, or lay low to get some information out of the people . Which would either be a bore or very interesting , gaining him in his crew of three benefits credits, new tech.

His crew have had a long streak of finishing off missions in quick amount of time for the past five months. After the last time he and Frieza had their 'meeting', Vegeta was determined to get stronger ,to kill the damn lizard. But Vegeta needed a clean recorded and impressive undercover snooping skills for gaining information from Friezas enemies. Flawless yet ruthless killing sprees he and his crew would go on to get stronger.

Acting like a good little pet for Frieza was the game, it was such a shameless thing for the Prince to do, his pride being damnged , but it was only way he was going to survive the clutches of the Ice-jin.

Though the remaining Saiyans needed a little vacation from their daily routine, so when Frieza appointed the Saiyans to lay off the missions for the New sets of squadrons that royally pissed the Ice-jin off and was going to give them a two month long mission in exchange for the Saiyans to go Vacate some where. It was worth celebrating and the best part was that the prince was allowed to any where he choose just as long as they came back.

Vegeta started take off as he adjusted his scouter. He flew off to the city that was awaiting him. The air was decent to him, not too Heavily filed with carbon or any other well know chemicals to be found in atmosphere that were deadly to him. The gravity was well off too as well, when he took of he felt less stress on his body. He grinned this planet was gonna be a breeze for sure.

He analyzed the vastly sized city below him, the inhabitants of the Planet weren't to update in technology as Frieza's but what they had seemed sufficed to look at. The city was filled with its people, rooming the streets. The city seemed to be very populated filled with what he safety assumed men, women and children, Vegeta smirked at the number of Kaston's in this the city alone, he loved an audience. It was getting late so the street buildings had started to fill the sky with hologram advertisements which were bright and colorful in the dim sky. He took note to the Planets inhabitants physical features that were shown in the Ads.

They had humanoid body's like himself but had noticeable differences like their hair, the hair had a sliver appearance with a touch of blue coating to it. Their hair had a limp and curly composer reaching the length that rested to the midway of their back. Though the trait that was very obvious was the purple skin tone that the Kasotan's had. The prince flew in between the tall buildings as he decided how he should make an entrance. As the prince started to plan his own flashy entrance he was suddenly stop when he took noticed to nice sized hover ships coming his way, grinning as the large oval shaped ships flew beside him. His scouter was going off as it detected the power levels within the ships that cruised by, approximately eighty four people and counting filled each one of the ships.

This should suffice as a warm up heh. A wicked grin stretched upon the Saiyans lips as he prepared a ki blast in his hands, then launching it towards to ship letting it connect with a loud boom. The collision of Vegeta's blast and the air ship gave of a explosion which then proceed to give of a chain reaction of bright explosions to the following ships that were flying beside it. They sky's were filled with the combinations of the explosions, a great rush of pressure from the flowing collision, blew against Vegeta giving little to no effect to faze him but did great amount of damaged to the surrounding buildings glass windows. The once quiet and peaceful city was now erupted with the sounds of the hover crafts tearing apart from Vegeta's attack. As the parts of the remaining pieces of the ship flew past Vegeta to only tear through the buildings behind him, and downwards to crush the people below. He chuckled darkly at the horror and pure fear that covered the Kasotans below the explosion.

He chuckled at them, they were acting so weak so small, the Kasotans just screamed and pointed as the remains fell upon them, their screams rising higher and higher as the pieces crushed their people to their death.

Vegeta smiled darkly as he set off a rang of vollyblasts of Ki to the surrounding buildings. The city slowly becoming nothing but fire and burning buildings filled with more screams. Vegeta dove down into the streets ,killing the people that attempted to fun to safety. He was fast and swift during his rampages, ending peoples lives before they got the chance to yell for help. Oh the thrill. The streets started to become riddled with corps as Vegeta pursued his mission, he ears became death to the Kasotan's pleas for mercy upon their people.

It was their own fault, if only they had cooperated with Frieza none of this would have been happening. Frieza had came to this planet to form an 'alliance' with Kasotan's, supposedly the Kasotans had large amounts of detoxified water. This type of water was special accordingly to the rumors. The very tale of the water was that the water would withstand its pure state no matter the interference that came across it. Kasotans had long life expectancy rates, that were really surprising cause of how weak they were, it rivaled a Saiyans life expectancy. The reason being that the weaklings lived so long was because the ingesting of the detoxified that the Kasotans had been consuming. The water was nearly the cure to any illness and to add the water was also rumored to heal any mortal wound no matter how fatal or sever. The detoxified water was very similar to the substance that was inside the rejuvenation tanks, the only difference was that of the process time difference and the face it was edible. This alliance that Frieza wanted to have with the Kasotans would have been much support to the Frieza Empire and even maybe the for the planet Kasot but they would never know because of elder leaders of this home world rudely refused Friezas offer. They were offended that Frieza even had thought of an Idea of the two being in contact of each other, Frieza was well known for malicious work and the elder leader wanted no association with the Frieza Empire or the Cold Family.

The Kasotans must have not known of the Frieza's behavior pretty well, Frieza did not take such rude refusal well especially from a people whom were well below him. It would have been better if the Kasotan's rejected the offer as they did. Non the less Frieza would have kept pestering them until they would have fell into submission from Frieza's threats. They would have been able to survive, Frieza didn't want to kill the Kasotans because they were more informed about the water that was on their home planet than Frieza, he was nearly gonna force for their assistance but instead of those alternate events Vegeta and his crew were here doing Frieza's work, ending the lives of many as he usually did.

He could hear sirens raining through the city and the sounds of artillery vehicles rushing towards the area he was at. Is scouter began to scan the upcoming enemies the readings having the the highest range 56 and the lowest 12. Vegeta chuckled inwardly, this military was very weak , weaker the technicians that were in charge of the outside maintenance for Frieza's Ships.

"Holt you! Stay there or we'll shoot!" A voice screamed over a microphone its voice echoed through the burning city, it was soon followed by the marching of soldiers, Vegeta took note of the weapon choice that there equipped with damn gun's heh. The soldiers that were marching to their death by the hand of the Prince one by one to their untimely death. Poor fools.

Vegeta chuckled at the Kasotan's that had tried to fight back with blasters. Vegeta decided to stand still and wait as others surrounded him. The sinister smile he wore never fading away, the warriors that decided to engage the Prince stood with hesitation through out their body. Fear and anger spread across their faces. The fact that Vegeta could hear the rattling coming from the solider that were holding their blasters with unsteady and nervous hands.

It took little time for the rest of their forces to surround Vegeta , the Kasotans stood in fear , did they know it was the end for them?Maybe or Maybe not it, either way it was going to happen in the horrific way.

There was sicking silence between them, Vegeta spoke first,"Aren't you going to um arrest me?" he said chucking he was testing the soldiers to see if they had any brave bone in there body , his chucking startled the soldiers in front of him breaking the trance of fear that they were in. Vegeta smirked at them, they had whispered among them selves about whom was going to arrest Vegeta. So far as Vegeta could tell they all had failed miserably to look intimidating. There was a small argument among them, but then there was an abrupt push through the group spitting out a frighten solider. He stumbled out in front of the crowed and glared back at his cowardly comrades. Vegeta observed the soldier,he knew he was of no threat to him, it was quite the entertainment to watch one fidget from fear.

He gulped as he faced the monstrous prince. "Here." With a dark smile Vegeta placed his arms in front of himself and nudged it forward to him. The solider was confused and frighten at Vegeta's behavior. The Kasotan gulped and rose his gun to Vegeta's throat, Vegeta smirked this was interesting.

His face hardened suddenly,"Your actions that you have bestowed on our Planet will not be so easily forgiven by Imprisoning you. You have trespassed our Planet without permission and then proceed to destroy this city. We do not take genocidal Aliens lightly nor do they get mercy. They are to be annihilated on site." with a brave notion the solider thrust the barrel of the blaster to Vegeta's neck, "Do you fear me now?" The solider said with a growl.

Vegeta's only response was a smile, it surprised him that the solider had the balls to do something like this considering his frighten demeanor he and his comrades had shown since their arrival.

The Prince laughed at the solider and crushed the blaster swiftly with his hand. There was a collective gasp from the soldiers. "Nope, The Prince of the Saiyans fears.. " Vegeta lean closely to the idiotic solider that was brave enough to threatening him,that now was shaking with fear when the prince crushed his only weapon of defense. Vegeta dropped the crumbled blaster as he got to the solders ear, "No one." As quickly as he whispered the words , Vegeta wrapped his hand around the Kasotans neck. His hands weakly tried to wrestle Vegeta's grip off of him but it was to no avail.

His comrades watched frozen in fear, Vegeta smiled once more , oh how he loved an audience.

With a sicking snap, Vegeta tore the Kasotan's head from his body. There was a couple of blood spatters from the decapitated Kasotan body that landed on the Soldiers and Vegeta's face. They all watched in horror as the body of the Kasotan stumble backwards the body slowly realizing the connections from the brain was no longer there before falling back with thud. Vegeta grinned as the body became still and stiff, it was his favorite way to execute a victim. Vegeta tossed the head of solider above the rest of the group. They got a glimpse of the lifeless eyes and the jagged bone and blooded that was once the neck of their fallen comrade. They all screamed mortified as Vegeta blasted the head into pieces , a bloody explosion of gore painting all over the formal comrades.

A gruesome prince looked at his work and smiled. The collective faces that were cover in blood and gore , their horror stricken faces surrounding him in total silence. They now realized that this is was their Maker.

Vegeta slowly turned his gaze to the soon to be murdered warriors. Poor fools. The psychopathic smile spreading across his features once more. Having that affect on soldiers to suddenly let the weapons that they all were once holding began to rattle. Some fell between there uneasy hands stating a collection of weapons to fall on the ground. The poor soldiers probably did not take good notes of what Vegeta did all by himself to the city, but now they realized. Well too late. Vegeta chuckled he could feel what they were going to do next.

He grinned as he smelled the fear that had submersed the group."Run."

The Prince broke down in a fit of dark laughter when the Kasotan soldiers began to flee back in horror, stumbling and falling on top of each other. The regret and fear pained on their faces as they desperately ran from the monstrous prince for safety. Again the prince knew this was useless but he liked to make his prey squirm just for giggles.

Vegeta took in a breath before levitating slowly into the sky as they ran. When they were at a good distance he charged a massive ki blast into the palms of each of his hands. Then began throwing the ki blasts at the Kasotan Army. The dying screams of the fallen soldiers once again filling the city as the deadly blasts collided to the surface of the city.

Vegeta smirked and soon began blasting at the remaining buildings around him, his scouter had detected a few power levels hiding with in those building long ago when the soldiers 'bravely' tried to stop the Saiyan Prince. He guessed that they were trying to secretly attack him from a high point when he was distracted. If they were stronger and had better technology the Kasotans may have had a chance... maybe.

Vegeta went on like this for a couple of hours , terrorizing the innocent people of Kasot.

Soon the city was only filled with sound of burning buildings and the foot steps of the deadly prince. Burning flesh and buildings filling the air, Vegeta grinned as he walked through the city of corps.

He had really took his time with this city, usually he would be done with a city like this in a matter of minutes. Something in Vegeta wanted to relish the rampaging a little longer than usual. It was a good warm up he could say, there was a lot of sneaky Inhabitants hiding within the large city. Nothing too bad he couldn't handle he had worst to deal with.

Vegeta checked his scouter once again to see for any remaining survivors. It read none. Sighing he began to take of from the ruin's of the once populated city. He decided that he would let the city burn instead of blasting it to oblivion like always. It was not one of his best works but it was great site to see, well if your monster , genocidal murderer with taint of a black heart like he was, then yeah it was quiet beautiful wasn't it.

Vegeta flew off into the night sky to continue his mission. He hadn't noticed the planets two moons until now , neither were full. It was amazing site to behold, it had been awhile since he was on a planet that had a Moon. Maybe a dwarf Moon , but that did little help on his missions that were difficult. Through he doubted he would require the great Oozaru form for this weak Planet.

Vegeta was brought out his thoughts by the loud grumbling from his own stomach. He frowned , he had been so caught up in the damn city that he forgot to go through to see if there was any edible food. He probably had destroyed it if there was any. He would have to hurry quickly before his stomach would get the best of him, the one only weakness he struggled to over come was his damn stomach. He checked his scouter to see if he was near any city's.

As he began to analyze the closes city's near him, Vegeta noticed a very abnormally large Power level in one of the citys. Larger than he had encountered before on this planet.

Vegeta smirked It was probably Nappa or Raditz fooling around with the Kasotans. The prince decided it would be a good Idea to meet up with crew mates, to get an update on how their mission was coming along. It would also be a good time to eat and rest a bit before going back to finish their mission so they could go to their much needed vacation.

Upon reaching the city there was another someone also approaching the city as well. Vegeta narrowed his eyes his eyes suspiciously at the unknown person that was fly towards the same city as he. The individual was coming north of the city, the individual reached the city before Vegeta did.

Vegeta paused cautiously when he was right above the city. The city was quiet and still aside from the ads that were occasionally viewed from the buildings holographic programing. There was no sign of inhabitants roaming the city like the one he had cleared. Vegeta checked his scouter to check for any Ki signatures. He only received two that were abnormally large there was no signs of lower energy's that would have belonged to the Kasotans which meant that they were exterminated , he knew one of the Ki's belonged to Nappa or Raditz though from the looks of the way the town was, It had been Raditz who had took out the people. Nappa and Vegeta had a like to leave a city in a blaze, Raditz on the other hand his rampage was most known as a 'Ghost town'. Very terrifying to the people who would find the city.

The Prince noted that the unknown Individual was not attacking Raditz their Ki stayed stable they both were at least talking face to face, from what his scouter was telling him.

Its probably Nappa , i'm probably being over parodied. The Prince adjusted his scouter on his ear and pressed the intercom button.

"Nappa do you copy." Vegeta called from the device. A few seconds later a voice gruffly replied.

"Yes sir. What is it that you need Prince Vegeta?"

Vegeta starred down at the city, slowly descending lower into the ghostly streets.

"Are you with Raditz at the moment?" Vegeta asked as he began walking alone through the streets heading towards the ki signatures.

"Um yes, my liege. I had just meet up with him, I stopped to recuperate and replenish my energy , Raditz had contacted me earlier about a vase amount of food supply he had came across after cleaning the city out. Do you need me to send you the coordinates to our exact location my liege?" Nappa asked.

"No Nappa that would not be necessary, I'm near by your current location. I also am need of replenish my energy, I should be there shortly so don't consume the food all at once." Vegeta warned, as he walked.

"Yes my liege, Is there anything else ?"

"No Nappa, when I get there there will a quick discussion about the progress we have made so far and then we'll probably make camp. Until then that is all."

"Ok my liege, see you shortly." Nappa ended before Vegeta cut the call off.

Vegeta sighed silently to him self , despite his hunger Vegeta causally took his time walking to the destination. Something about this planet felt odd to him. The vibe the planet gave off didn't come off as dangerous just very odd. Vegeta observed his surroundings as he took his stroll.

Usually by the amount of time Vegeta had been on this planet the Prince would have destroyed at least a third of the population of an planet, especially by how weak the Kasotans defense was, it would had been like going through paper. He had spent his whole time toying with that city ,But some reason Vegeta wasn't getting the usual thrill he would he get off of when he was on his rampage. Sure he enjoyed the sight of the destruction of the city but he didn't feel excited, Vegeta assumed it was the lack of threat the Kasotans were.

No that's not it. He argued with himself, Ive have had fought people who didn't even rebel against the destruction of their planet and i got off on that. Vegeta kicked the head of a distorted Kasotans corps sending it to crash into the glass window of a shop. He felt off since he awoken on this planet, something was going to happen on this planet i don't know what the hell it is but i can sense it.

Vegeta paused when came across the same shop he kicked the Kasotans head into, He was staring at the broken glass window of the shop. The shatter window was painted with blood of the Kasotans he suspected. The prince examined his reflection, he hadn't seen his own face in awhile. The three remaining Saiyans had been purging planet after planet without breaks for so long that he just forgot to look at himself.

His face remained the same stoic face as before as he looked over his facile features. The same dark ebony eyes glaring back into his own reflection. He no longer looked liked a child, thankfully when Vegeta turned 18 he started to look like his age and went through his growth spurt. Through granted he was still the shortest member of his crew, but he was still not done going through puberty according to Nappa any way. Vegeta silently accepted the fact that he would never get as tall as his father. Vegeta idolized his father the one thing he did not want from his side of the family tree was a receding hair line , he prayed everyday that his bangs would never fully go away.

Vegeta took his glove and wiped the blood from his face, he wasn't unsettled by it , he had been in worst gory events compared to this. The Kasotan's blood gave off an odor, and Saiyans had a good keen sense of smell and it was slowly starting to overwhelm the prince.

Vegeta continued to walk to the area where his comrades had been on waiting him. He hoped is usual behavior would disperse when they left the planet. He need to relax more often from these purging missions , it was starting to mentally effect him, he thought to himself.

Vegeta pushed back his concerns as he reached the a large oval shaped building. It was filled with brutish laughter and sounds of things being thrown.

Vegeta shook his head as he approached the building,it was defiantly his Saiyan comrades. Vegeta could recognized their useless bickering anywhere, Vegeta growled silently as he made his way to the entrance of the building.

Vegeta eyes widen when he came across the scene in front of him.

There was mountain of food climbing to the ceiling of the oval shaped building that Nappa and Raditz and decided meet up at. The rations of food filled entire room of this building, he had never seen this much food in one room, well not in a long time any.

In the corner of the room he could see Nappa, the six foot-eight bald warrior , the one that had raised Vegeta since the destruction of planet Vegeta. Loyal to his prince no matter what the odds where, not the greatest mentor but was the best he and Raditz were gonna get. The last Saiyan that would ever truly know what his home was like.

The damn idiot was fighting over large slab of cooked possibly burnt meat of what ever animal that it was from with Raditz. He was overpowering the younger Saiyan but Raditz never gave up when came to food.

"Just give up brat! Ha ha ha there's plenty to go around third-class!" Nappa said mocking Raditz.

The younger man growled stubbornly at Nappa, "Motherfucker this is the last one! I caught my game so you should the same if you want meat!" The long haired Saiyan growled and tug on the slab again much to Nappa's amusement. He knew Raditz was weaker than he was though Raditz was closer in height to Nappa he was the weaker of the three,considering Raditz was six foot-three.

Vegeta rolled his eyes in annoyance and decided to ignore the situation at hand. Eventually Nappa would make the younger Saiyan go into submission for the the food as he always did. Vegeta could care less about there bickering, his stomach was way more important at the moment.

Vegeta strolled over to the other side of the mountain of rations. Vegeta sniffed the food cautiously looking for any poison that could have been drooped in to the rations. He grunted in approval when he could not fond any ill poison inside the Kasotans food.

Vegeta picked up for what he thought to be a chair of some sort and sat on it as began to inhale the food in front of him. The Kasotans had great taste compared to all the other planet that he had purged in the past. It had been a long time since he didn't have to force him self to eat something to survive on a clearing mission. The prince could tell that the inhabitants had great culinary skills, Vegeta could taste the spices , herbs and may other things that seemed familiar to him. Honestly it was such a shame that such a skillful people would have to die by his hands. Remorse was something that came and went when he purged planets. It was either him or the people and he would rather try to keep his crew alive than help a race that had doomed them selves.

Vegeta continued to eat as cancelled out the argument that was across from him.

Though more than Vegeta realized that the argument had been over for a while when Vegeta came in the small building moments ago. They had stopped their bickering and acknowledged the Prince in which Vegeta took heard note of and kept eating his food in some what peace.

Nappa and Raditz ate at a faster rate and sloppiness attire than Vegeta. Their faces covered in grime and food and with the addition of Kasotan blood that was painted on their Saiyan armor, and much to Vegeta's distaste the odor was flooding the room. Vegeta seemed to be the only one bothered by the foul smell or maybe they were consumed in their food than their hygiene at the moment. Vegeta continued to eat as much as he could, unfortunately the Prince had a weaker stomach then his Saiyan companions. He sneered his nose when Nappa was reaching over close to Vegeta's side for what it seemed to be a jelly like substance.

Vegeta tried his best to hold back a gag and growled instead at Nappa, stopping him in the middle of his reach,"Nappa" he snapped.

Nappa looked up to face Vegeta,"Yes-s my liege ?"

Vegeta kept facing his food to distract himself from the foul smell radiating from Nappa." I expect you to wash the damn filthy blood off your Saiyan armor immediately after i go over our next move, that includes you too third-class."

Nappa and Raditz nodded as Vegeta scolded them about their hygiene, Vegeta usually didn't mind the smell of blood, hell there were days where Vegeta would walk out from a mission as if he had bathed in blood but the Kasotans blood was just horrible. It was true that the Kasotans blood reeked but Nappa and Raditz could handle the unpleasantly of it. Though because Vegeta was still maturing his sense's where a little strong at times.

"Yes my liege." They both answered.

There was an awkward silence in the room until Vegeta began to continued to eat his long awaited meal which was followed by his companions. The two older Saiyans had began to move to the far side of Vegeta to avoid upsetting the Prince once again.

After sometime flew by Raditz had finished eating, he had been eating longer than the other two when he had found the food first when he arrived. He had went off to one of the separate rooms in side the building with out a word, not that Vegeta cared about his whereabouts, and much to Vegeta's relief the Saiyan had came back with the odor completely removed and replaced with a flowery smell. Vegeta recognized the pleasant smell it was faint and slightly feminine but it was whole lot better than the current smell Nappa was covered in. Vegeta and Nappa scanned the older Saiyans and noted that his armor also clean as well.

Nappa chuckled mockingly at the long haired Saiyan,"Well third-class i always knew that there was a feminine side to you. Its about damn time you came out, no wounder Zarbon has been eyeing us up lately he was looking at you." Raditz face was flustered at Nappa's comment and growled.

"Shut the fuck up Nappa! There wasn't anything else in the damn building that would cover up the smell, Prince Vegeta said he wanted the smell gone so i did so. Unlike you Nappa i don't like smelling like shit!"Raditz retorted back.

The bald brute growled,"You got some balls to think you can talk to me like that weakling."

Raditz snorted at Nappa,"Ive been had em, I could be stronger if i wanted too, you damn well know why. If I didn't have the resistant I have now , I would destroy you ."

Nappa laughed at the younger Saiyan and stood up with an offensive stance, grinning darkly at the man. Raditz stared down at the older man, daring to slap the smug look on his face, "Heh , kid if i were you i would stop before you make your death sentence. Your pitiful threats are just sad third-class, i don't even know why i even spend my time talking to the like's of you, Trash."

"Nappa sit the fuck down!" Vegeta snapped, "ugh we cant do a single mission without you two imbeciles clashing heads, your a grown Man for God sake's Nappa, act like one! Your acting like a true Third- class. " Nappa flinched at the Princes insult,his head bowed as he was scolded. Raditz grinned as the annoyed prince yelled at Nappa.

"Hell the weakling is more useful than your idiocy." He glared at Raditz, whom was gloating at Nappa chastisement. Raditz regained his posture as the Prince glared at him, preparing for Vegeta's tongue lashing which never came. Raditz was very surprised, the Prince would usually give them both an ear full or a beating if he was in the mood, which was most likely all the time.

Vegeta wanted to eat his food in peace for one with out the background noise of the two Saiyan roughhousing. The smell alone coming from Nappa was already irritating and with him continue the onslaught of picking on the long haired Saiyan, it was all giving him a headache. Vegeta deiced to spare Raditz this time, he knew how annoying Nappa could be, Raditz had done what he was told unlike Nappa whom stunk of the Kasotan blood and grime.

"I'm cutting your meals short Nappa for the rest of the time we're on this planet.." Vegeta stated , the bald brute gasp in horror.

"But my Liege I-"

"What did I say. Your childish behavior is not tolerated." Vegeta scolded.

Nappa faced paled but nodded to the Prince," Yes-s my liege...do you still want to know of my progress I had completed ?"

Vegeta sighed and muttered to himself inwardly."As a matter of fact I would like to know, so i can know what to do next, I need to deiced what our plan should be so i can get some rest

"Well my prince, After i finished the Vegetation report on this planet and sent it back to the Report Station, I began to clear out the nearest city's and small towns which took me approximately Five to Six hours. "

Vegeta nodded,"How much of the planet did you cover?"

Nappa gulped inwardly, "Thirty percent of the Planet Kasot was covered." Raditz's eyes widen in bewilderment silently flinching. The habitats weren't even that strong, the strongest power level Raditz had came across was barely a 17.

Vegeta eye twitched, Nappa was more of a pain than he had been in past years, the thought of just trowing him in the sky and blasting him to oblivion had crossed his mind many times before. Raditz and Nappa could see that Vegeta was seethed with anger, Raditz was cheering inwardly that Vegeta was not aiming his anger towards him. Though Raditz could use a power boost, he doubted if Vegeta would let him live. Thankfully this planet has nowhere near strong warriors, their military defense was complete shit, it make it too easy for him to cover more than half of the planet.

The two Saiyan's watch silently as Vegeta breathe calmly , closing his eyes shortly before opening them to face Nappa. Startling Nappa with the forced calmness in his voice sent chills to his spine, "Only thirty percent Nappa, Interesting how the last time it was 'much' higher. I would like to only assume that you were caught up with your mission, but Inhabitants are immensely weak. As a high class elite warrior you are expected to go above and beyond and with your power level compared to an Kasotan's you should have elaborated them with swiftness of your pinky finger! What could possibly kept you from doing so?!" The anger of the Prince voice shook the building, Vegeta was on the verge of blasting the brute but restrained from doing so because of how bad Nappa was smelling.

Nappa was in cowardice in fear of Vegeta's rage, the older Saiyan knelt down onto his knee and bowed his head facing Vegeta. Nappa did this only when to be spared and fall into submission by the prince when he got angry like this. It was the way of asking for forgiveness in which the Prince would have to accept, by Royal laws. Nappa had rarely done this unless he was truly frighten for his life, but as the prince got older Nappa bullshit was costing Vegeta and was no longer being tolerated.

"My liege i was faced with compilations when i had faced the Kasotans."

Vegeta sighed," And what type of compilations did you run into Nappa?"

"The Kasotan are weak and so is their Army ,that is true. They were throwing everything that their measly weak military could throw, but i slaughter them all. I was going through the town like paper. I was heading through a small desert, flying toward the next city but i was ambushed by the Kasotans. They have a weapons that can physical impair your sight my liege. Their power levels were so weak that my scouter didn't pick it up. When i was blinded i was hit from behind with my guard down they proceeded to attack me with the hopes of killing me , in which they had failed to do. I was blinded for half of the time i was out, my sight slowly regained , but it wasn't up to full health until some time past by." Nappa admitted, he felt ashamed that a couple of weak Kasotans had got the better of him, and he knew Vegeta was more irritated by the fact. There was an pregnant pause in the room , Nappa closed his eyes tight expecting the prince to lash out for letting his guard go down so foolishly.

"..That's is indeed interesting."

Nappa blinked , did he hear Vegeta right, Nappa kept his posture still awaiting his punishment of any sort that Vegeta would unleash, but still noting came. Nappa cautiously looked up to see Vegeta's face.

Vegeta was in a trance of thought, his hand under is chin as he thought silently. Vegeta seemed to be ignoring Nappa and Raditz as he thought to himself. What could he possibly be thinking about , he was just riddled with anger with Nappa , what did he possible say that would take interest of the prince. Nappa turned his head to peer at the long haired Saiyan,whom shrugged his shoulders at the bald warrior, Nappa quickly returned his gaze back to Vegeta.

Vegeta's full attention turned back to Nappa, a thin line appearing to his face.

"Nappa." Vegeta's attitude had changed towards Nappa when he called his name.

Nappa reverted his head back into a bow at the call of his name."Yes my liege."

"What was the analysis report of the Vegetation rank for Planet Kasot?" Vegeta asked.

Nappa turned his gaze to look up at the prince again, the bald brute had no idea where this was heading. " Um..it was ranked 9/10, very habitable for Frieza military forces, The planets natural resources seem to be unlimited as the planet grows at an exponential rate. 95% of the Planet's Vegetation is edible , This planet alone seems to rarely have any natural disasters making very easy to building any thing on this planet."

Vegeta was silent taking in Nappa's report, the bald warrior was unsure if he would receive his a punishment or not for his poor piss progress. Vegeta's black charcoal colored eyes shifted over to Raditz the same thin line on his lips.

"Raditz, your report."

"My pod landed 2.5 hours before Nappa , giving me the decent amount of time to start the purging process on the planet. The first few inhabitants i had encountered were oddly aware that we would be arriving. Their military defense was utterly weak so destroying them was easy pickings, the weapons were immediately annihilated so i was not given the chance to experience first hand what the weapons were capable of. I was able to cover over 55% of the Planets surface area, honestly at the moment i would say the last of the remaining population is somewhere near the head Temple, the entire military that is the make up of the Kasotans home planet is guarding the palace 'heavily'. "

"I also came in contact with one of the Kasotan elders, I had killed off the guard that was protecting the elder, and as i continued to finish off the Kasotan he began to beg for his life with the attempts to trade off some information about Lord Frieza." Raditz recalled smoothly, Vegeta eyed the long haired Saiyan.

He was impressed with Raditz none the less, the older Saiyan had not only done an excellent job roaring passing Nappa's current surface area coverage but also gained information. Information about a certain Lizard.

What the hell could the Kasotans have on Frieza?

Nappa and Vegeta stared at the long haired Saiyan with slight bewilderment. Raditz was the weakest of them all with the restrains Frieza had put on him since he was a child making his power level the lizards very own inside joke.

Vegeta knew that Raditz could surpass Nappa with right circumstances, in recent years showing more wisdom and usefulness in missions than Nappa, like now for instance.

Vegeta glare deepened , showing little emotion. "What exactly would that information be Raditz."

The older Saiyan, had a cheeky grin that showed off purely white canines, the Saiyan reached with his left hand going into the back of his armor. With a swish notion he pulled out a red Memory drive.

"The elder gave me this Memory drive, apparently the Kasotans where a couple of sneaky bastards. Heh, you see Prince Vegeta , the Kasotans may have been causing a bigger issue for Frieza than we have thought, i don't even think Frieza knows about this."

Vegeta walked towards Raditz , the same stoic expression his jet balk iris focused on the Drive."What makes you so sure that Frieza isn't aware of this whole situation that is with hand, how do you know this isn't a trap, that he isn't testing our loyalties to him?" Vegeta eyes motion towards Raditz wide ebony eyes. Raditz knew the prince would question him, the fear of the Ice-jin knowing of the disgust that they all held against the lizard.

Raditz matched the Prince deadly glare with a smug grin of his own,"This."

Vegeta watched as Raditz turned the Red drive over to the other side, his eyes widen at what was embedded on the drive, his mouth left ajar in shock.

There embedded on the drive was a Symbol. The head of an Arcosian silhouette with a sword diagonally going through the head of the silhouette.

This symbol wasn't just any symbol ,it was the trademark of the rebels that were against the Cold Family. The rebels had slow began to grow over the years, ambushing small planet's that were held captive by Cold Territory. The rebels at first had only targeted Frieza with broadcast that downgrading the Arcosian prince, encouraging people to rise up against Frieza. In the beginning nobody would dare attempted, but gradually the rise grew. The lizard attempted to handle the situation but failed pinpoint the exact location of their home base, they still don't know till this day in fact, and because of that the Rebels still keep preaching their message.

They are still in the dark of their operation, only minor attempts to slightly throw the Cold Family hand off the Universe. Vegeta every now and then was full of temptation to join the rebellion,but he was no fool, that was a dead man's game to play. The Saiyan's are one of Frieza's 'Favorite's ' in a sicken way, especially the Prince. Vegeta knows what would happen if Frieza were to find out if he were to rebel against him, the thought made his stomach turn.

Besides the fear of being caught by Frieza , he did not want to over throw Frieza and his Family the way the Rebels wanted to. Vegeta was going to take down the evil tyrant him self in most dishonorable way, it was his destined goal to do so. Vegeta had to kill Frieza , by himself or if any help by his Saiyan comrades. The ice-jin had to pay by the hand of the Prince. It had to be a Saiyan, which meant it would take time.

Vegeta snatched the drive out of the taller Saiyan's hand , his eyes rampantly scanning the symbol embedded in it. The Kasotans must have been working with rebels the whole time, ..it makes since now..There natural resources , the damn water, their spy hardware, they were probably making profit of the damn rebels...

"If may Vegeta, I theorize that this on no way shape or form that this can possibly be a trap or that Frieza knew of the information that they were holding was such critical matter, and if he did know why would he send 'us' any way. The only soldiers that are allowed to it this involved in Frieza's personal matters are Zarbon, Dodoria and Ginyu. We all know how much Frieza despises of the rebels, Frieza would not play about such serious matters.

"Frieza ordered us just to clear out the Kasotan planet so he may uptake the water, he probably did not look any further into it. The Kasotan don't have any tech that would match any of Arcosian spyware, they are very far behind. " The tall Saiyan chuckled darkly. "In short my prince we just got damn well lucky."

Vegeta stared at the drive in silence, the rebel symbol glaring back at him causing chills to run up in his spine. This was either the best day of his life or the worst. The crimson drive could hold the deepest secrets of the Frieza empire, missions, treaty's, trades, assassinations, allies and much much more. This drive was safety placed in Raditz lap, out of all people. The Cold Family empire were in the hands of the Saiyan.

This is what Vegeta need to start his plan to the dethroning of Frieza, he would finally have the chance to crumple the lizards empire.

A dark grin appeared on the Saiyan Prince lips, the excitement filling his ebony eyes.

Looks like the lizard missed a spot, ... I have to take this with caution, this very information could start off a war way too early than i need it to happen.

Raditz and Nappa watched their prince analogized the drive,watching the devilish smile spread across his features. Raditz grinned proudly, he had been improving over the years on purge missions, there was so much one could learn and gain if you sit back and watched your prey. Very few soldiers thought before attacking, strategics and planning was a key thing to do if you wanted to the get the better good of your enemy. Every Saiyan was taught at a early age as a cub, this was a acquirement that one had to have before heading into the field. Though many Saiyans just neck out their battles, like Nappa.

"Raditz , you third-class have surprised me, a true Saiyan warrior though you lack strength you have changed the course of our current predicament by tenfold. This here." Vegeta held the crimson drive above his head, "This is the key to our destine Victory."

"This drive is to not be spoken of, unless I myself say so. We must take precautions , this can damn well be the deaf of us than save us if this got into the wrong hands. There will be no discussion of the findings that Raditz has made. If i hear a slip up you will both be beaten close to death and be forced to lick your own wounds, and without the aid of the rejuvenating tanks." Vegeta threaten, his glare sharp and fierce. Raditz and Nappa focused on their prince with their full attention, not daring to break eye contact with their leader.

"When we dismissed from this mission we'll will report to our Vacation, there will not be any odd behavior tolerated ,do hear me. Frieza needs to stay blind to our discovery, we cannot have any attention added to us. I will keep you updated every month or so depending on whats on this drive. Do you copy." Vegeta sated more as a command rather than a question to his Saiyan comrades.

"Yes , My liege." The older Saiyans said in unison.

"An for the plan for tomorrow. From what i have learned from both of your reports including mine, we must lay low. There must be more information that they could be hiding that we do not know of. We will confront the Kasotans and 'surrender' as a way to get the information that we are looking for. When we are done for what we're looking for , i will give you the signal to eradicate the rest of the Kasotan race. This mission may or may not take longer than needed, depending on what we find, so will need full attention of your observation skills. For now we will get our rest. In zero six hundred hours the three of us will head to the Head Temple and surrender. Do I copy."

Raditz grinned inwardly, "Yes my liege."For the first time in long time Raditz was getting subtly praised and by the prince of all people.

Nappa growled to himself,he had lost his respect to a third-class weakling. Nappa had been through too much shit yo just be best by Raditz, he was catch off guard so what. Nappa still standing on one knee watched his prince as he continued to overlook him,he was glad the Prince had swarmed away to punishing him and had took an interest in the Kasotans military defense mechanism. Nappa bowed his head when Vegeta's eyes switched over to the bald brute. Over the years the prince had became his Nightmare living up to his true name as a Prince or aka an Prick.

Vegeta's face twisted into a frown, turning his whole attention back Nappa, "Don't think that i've forgotten about you Nappa. Kneeling in cowardice is just pitiful."

Nappa cursed mentally as Vegeta spat his words at him, "Today is your lucky day Nappa, I don't have the time or energy to give you a proper punishment sadly. Despite your shortcomings lately, I would like to forget that they have ever happen, i would like to remain as relaxed as i can to focus on the matter at hand. Though none the less you are to be punished your a warrior not some bitch. " Nappa posture eased, Vegeta was acting more lax his behavior odder than usual. Nappa shrugged it off, the prince was probably tired and exhausted as the rest of them, he was the leader with a great amount of presser on him. It could have also been them fact that Vegeta was still maturing,leaving his body tired at times.

"Nappa , you will take first watch, two hours with additional thirty minutes, giving me and Raditz official time periods of an hour and a half. Nappa you are demanded to wash that god awful smell off you, and as for you Raditz. You will be given half of Nappa's credits for this mission. You have well earned them, you have discover something that can change our fates. So enjoy the rest of the meal. That will be all for now ,do you copy." It took all of Raditz's strength not to grin, but he responded accordingly to the prince, it was an rare occasion that he got the chance to get a great amount of credits.

Nappa stood back up,he was upset but it was better than a Prince was eating away his pride nearly everyday yet he refused to give up on him. Nappa shrugged it off, he was a warrior he could give a damn about weather or not the lower class got a golden star, at the end of the day Nappa was an elite and Raditz was worthless than the dirt on his heal.

Vegeta watched as Nappa went into the far room to find the same items Raditz had used to dispose of the Kasotan blood. Vegeta sighed , Nappa was going to get him self killed one day, either by an enemy or by his own hands, if his shit kept growing.

Raditz's had went off into in the building by himself probably to find a place to sleep until it was his turn to long haired Saiyan rarely kept to him self he was nearly the comic relief of the three depending on the missions, he had his solicits days and his happy go lucky days. Right now he was neither, he was focused on completing this mission within a mission that he had help create, in which he proud of himself about.

Leaving the prince alone in the room, Vegeta quickly began to stuff the Kasotans edibles into his mouth, his appetite slowly regain with Nappa out the room. He could feel himself become back to full health, a good rest would be great.

After stuffing his face the Prince stood, stretching his muscles and began to wounder around the building that they had chose to take camp at. Roaming around the halls Vegeta could see that the place was abandon, items were shattered and tossed across, the rooms and hallways, there was no sent of blood, burn or death. Vegeta doubted that the owners of this home made it far from Raditz rampage, and even if they did they were going to be killed later on.

He pushed his way through to a room, this room was not as empty's the others. The room looked suffice for the prince. Vegeta yawned silently as he made his way over to the bed in the corner of the room. He was glad the bed was soft and comfortable, something he was rarely accustomed too. The pods were not all that comfortable as they seemed,and the squadron apartments that soldiers lived on off duty weren't the best living conditions one would want. If some were lucky solders i mean really lucky they could often obtain a planet to them self's, depend on the size of the planet and how much credits a solider could have.

The prince sighed as he slipped the scouter off of his face and onto the bed.

He took out the red memory drive out from his hands and slipped it into his spandex suit right behind his armor. He laid upon the bed enjoying the soft surface of the bed. He would sleep great tonight well at least he hoped. He wasn't too concerned about the drive right now, Vegeta did have an interest in it, but seeing the evidence face to face. Raditz could have tricked for all he knew.

The prince closed his ebony eyes and began to drifted off to sleep, the prince would worry about this when he awoke. Right know he just needed to rest.

---

India was unnaturally quiet. She had received news from one of her best friends that she was going back to foster care. Where she had spent most of her life in dread and solitude. Sitting alone in a small room with little to no friends to talk too. The memory's of being passed from home to home , forcing to adjust to new environment only to be thrust back into her quiet room in the orphanage. She thought it was all over when she got adopted by Marks Parents.

The green eyed teen had asked for Mark to leave after he told her the news. He refused at first wanting to comfort her persisting that she needed him to be there. She couldn't look him the eyes, she felt overcome with dread and betrayal.

Even though Mark had a very small part to play in her predicament, every instinct in her body was pointing the anger towards him, wanting to lash out for lying, abandoning, and fooling her into a false security that everything was all right. She wanted to keep those feelings away , they were not true and she didn't want to believe any of it.

Mark was hugging her, his warm muscular arms squishing her to his chest trying his best to comfort her. That only made want to holder her breath, the touch of Mark was very unsettling, she knew he was sorry but she wanted be by herself, alone. Comforting was so unnatural to her, all her life she just dwelt with it by herself , people didn't have time to take care of some crybaby, that's what parents were for. To her for the longest she thought her parents didn't have the time for her, extra work,unnecessary input of emotion to express.

When she first met her duo of friends, they had cared about her uneasy and terrible days. It frighten her and made her feel ashamed about it, she hated to be touched or soothed by a enthused voice. She knew it was a calming mechanism use for people, but her unhappy mood mixed with someone else soft calming happy voice irritated her. She got used to it and would often miss the caring touch, but right now she did not want it at all.

Her silence and motionless behavior only made Marks hold increase much to India very own increasing discomfort. India forced her self to breathe, she had to think alone right now, and figure out what to do, how to feel.

She tore her self out of Marks protective grip growling, "I Told you, i don't want you here right now." She tried to sound angry and threatening to make Mark get the message that she wanted to be alone right now but her voice was low and noticeably weak.

She kept her back to the older teen, avoiding his face she could not tell how Mark was reacting. She forced a straight posture, "I-I ... need you to leave me be... Go tell Azuly she needs to know ... ." India regretted it mentally, the idea of telling Azuly but she needed him to leave.

Mark knew it was bad idea, she could tell by the sound of the bed shifting he was unsure.

"Are you sure...wouldn't it be better if we tell her together, i know your upset but it would be very un-"

"I don't fucking care! I Want you to leave!..just go i don't care... a-about how she feels if i don't tell her in person, its unfair how this ...this ...keeps happening to me.." She needed him to leave the room now, her voice was breaking and at the brink of choking on sobs.

"India , please look at me...I know i hurt you. Its okay to cry, and I'm here for you ,I will always be here for you, me and Azuly. I know your hurting , angry , confused and you don't know how to feel. Ind-Ahh! India wait!" India dashed for the door, she couldn't take Marks plea without breaking down inside. Her numbness was ebbing away form her body, the heaviness of the dread and betrayal along with other emotions gradually making it harder for the teen to even stand. She slammed the door shut with all her strength , the roaring slam echoing out through the house. She could have sworn that there was cracks between the door hinges and the wall, she would worry about that later she had to get far away.

India took off running in the hallways before Mark decided to run after her. When she made it towards the end of the hall she could hear Azuly running up the steps with the combination of the door handle shaking coming from the room she just had left.

Her foot steps sped up she didn't need them both smothering her and she didn't want to see Azuly in this state. She began to blindly run through the mason , turning at sharp and random corners. India would peer over the back of her shoulder to check for any sight of her friends to see if they were following her from time to time, so fare no one was, but she kept her feet moving. The fear of being caught and adrenaline was replacing the despair that was filling her heart. The numbness had started to edge back up, India wanted to let the emotions out but she needed to alone to do that.

India wasn't as emotional as she was when she was a little girl, sure she had her moments when she couldn't help it, but she was sure to keep to herself when she felt emotional. She failing horribly when Mark was getting all teary eyed and if she stayed there to tell Azuly that her best friend was being taken away, India was for sure she would have been in blubbering mess. Seeing other people cry made her feel horrible, and to make it worst India sucked at comforting others. So she had to make a break for it. It wasn't like she was running away from her fears, she just needed to be alone. Despite the reason she was mad a Mark in the first place was because he was distancing himself from her, she needed to do the same for her own well being.

---

-T S I Y-

India came to a stop, in the middle of the hall she fell to her knees breathing heavily , she had been ignoring the fact that she need to take rest from running. She was very dizzy from all the running and lack of oxygen that she didn't have. She sat up against the wall panting heavily from exhaustion.

Man I need to stop pushing my self so hard, damn. I think ran to the whole other side part of the house..

India had indeed ran to that side of the house, fortunate for her she knew what part of the house she was at. India smiled inwardly when she recognized where she was at. When she and Azuly were to play hide and seek when they we're younger, this where India would sneak off to when it was her time to hide. It would take at hours of searching before India to give her self up for Azuly's sake. A light bulb went off in the green eyed teen head.

I'm just in luck, i can hideout there

India quickly sat back up, with now an particular privet place as her destination. Checking her surroundings quickly before heading out. With no sight of her friends she ran to the other end of the hallway. She slowed down at the beginning of the new hallway she had turned onto.

If my memory severs me right, I think i have to take two lefts and head straight, umm then I think the library would be there. To the right of the hallway there should be the door that has big bold letters ' Y' embed in it. India recalled the directions in her head as she walked through labyrinth like halls of the Mansion.

Ahh.. yes here we are, the huge ass library. Damn i miss this place. India's smile was grim as she came across two wooden doors with the words ' Y' engraved. India sighed as she pushed through them and walked into the Library.

To the teens surprise the library seem very clean. It had been a couple of years since Azuly's parents had fired the Nanny that had practically raised her, she had kept the house in tip top shape with the help of Azuly, considering how fucking huge the house was. It was such an amazement how that woman could clean the whole house but after she left Azuly was now the one who had to clean her home.

The library itself was fairly decently sized compared to the other rooms in the house. It was shaped like an normal indoor library with an window seal for reading , and a office desk place randomly placed inside. Nothing really out of the norm, well at least others would think.

This Library wasn't what she was looking for, it was a place within the library that India was interested in. It was hidden within the room. It was nearly impossible for you to see it unless you knew what you where looking for. It was not a surprise that Azuly was also unaware of the secret hidden places within her home.

You see a long time ago when they were kids, India had came across a set of papers,construction papers. These construction papers showed the make out of Azuly's house, for some odd reason they were just lying around the kitchen counter. Unfortunately India could not read the whole entirety of the paper with her eight year old vocabulary, but the words she did now were very interesting. Including the words 'Safe Rooms' that did catch her attention.

India carefully walked along the black design on the mid wall boarder that was through out the whole room. Her hand was softly dragging across the boarder, she was looking for a button. When India had found those papers long ago, on the paper it had the instructions on how to find them, where to go.

It took her no less than a week to find one of the Safe Rooms,there was three in total. One under the second light of stairs, the one inside the guest bedrooms and the one in the library, it was the biggest of the all.

"Ahh there you are." India pushed on a hidden button, a small click followed by a small knee high door opening.

India squatted down to the level of the door, she ran her hand on the inside of the wall looking for the old light switch. When her hand found the light switch and turned the light on for entry way, she was expecting there to be cob webs or signs of any eroding metal or wood. To her surprise the entry way looked the same as before. It checked over her shoulder once more , listing for sounds before she crawled into the Safe room. None k let's go.

She quickly scurried inside the small entry way, shutting the door behind her quietly. On her hands and knees India crawled through the short and small hallway that led to the much bigger Safe room.

India began to stand up to her feet when she reached the end of the entry, brushing off her clothes as she did. The entry's floors were extremely dusty, she was glad the room had different floor texture, carpet and the soft kind too. India sighed at the familiar room, it was the same as she had left it.

The room was the same size as Azuly's bedroom maybe a little bigger if you asked India. It came with a bed, dresser, TV and a bathroom. The T.V. was probably out of date but India still found interest into watch the movies that came with it. If it weren't for the hidden safe room, one could imagine that the library would be much bigger. India went over to the bed.

India sighed, she was now alone, she could let out the angry and sadden tears that she was holding back from Mark. The broken down sobs that she kept hidden from Azuly. The green eyed teen waited for it all to hit her. For the loud and uncontrollable sobs to come and over take her. She could feel a singer tear stroll down her cheek, expecting it to be followed by a water a river of Waterfall like tears, but there weren't any.

She sighed to her self, she was to numb to focus on the pain of losing her friends, her personal possessions . Her and Azuly were going to attend to the same college after they had graduated from high school. There was huge and well known university inside of their home town. They had already planed for India to move in with Azuly. The dread of going back to Foster care, being taken away from a home she had came to love. She knew that she wasn't gonna get adopted , she was too old , the chance of her getting into a new home were slim to none. Its was probably a good thing that she didn't know how to feel, did she really want to be submerged by fear, pain and other depressed thoughts.

She needed to get rid of the emotional tension in her before she went back out there. She didn't want to breakdown in front of her friends.

She growled silently. Why did they do this to me...Didn't they love me?...or was it all a lie to make Mark feel happy?...was it out of pity to adopt me?. We shared so many happy memory's together, never in her life had she ever called any of her past foster parents by 'Mom' or 'Dad. She really did care and trust them, so when there was sudden hostility towards her recently she thought it was just them having a bad day..but know she was reconsidering it, especially with the certain news. Were they trying to get rid of me this whole time..just waiting for Mark to move out to get rid of me...They really cut me deep.

India could feel a sharp pain in her chest, and she winced lightly before frowning . So that's what heart breaking moment feels like. Huh feels different from the others..maybe because this ones a personal one.

India fell back onto the bed frowning. Still no tears.

India crawled onto the center of the bed,snuggling into the warmth of the comforter. Maybe crying over it wasn't the solution, she was gonna have to deal with this another way. Though she knew she was going to breakdown when she confronted Azuly and Mark, India didn't know how to confront her foster Parents, it would a wild rodeo cause India had a few things to say.

"India ..are you done thinking depressed."

India jumped up from her bed, the voice had surprised her. " S-Soul?...is that you?"

"Yes..."

India looked around the room confused, she didn't see Soul any where around the room, But she could her the mystical characters voice clear as day, as if she were right in the room.

"Where are you? I don't see you anywhere. " India paused on the bed and looked down at her chest. The mint colored Amulet was going off, it was glowing and shaking. Is she talking from here?

"No and Yes , India. The Amulet allows you to talk to me and will eventually let you get connected with your true power but I can talk to you through your mind. Don't worry about others hearing me,you can only hear me."

Oh well that's cool i guess, did you want something? She said mentally.

"Well I was sensing that you where in distressed, so i came to see if you need my assistance and when i did you where suddenly running from your Friends. I was waiting until you were alone to approach you. Then all i could feel was a wave of Dread, Fear and Anger."

India blushed lightly, she was the one to blame for that ,she was forcing her self to feel sad about her self. I'm sorry about that...some things happen while I was back. I wanted to be alone for a bit, but i don't mind talk to you though , in the blank space room.

"Really,..um well just let me just teach you how to get here. This way you can just come here without passing out or gain a headache." Soul said, she seemed happy that India wanted to talk to her.

Um, well thanks ,I would love to know how to do that. India smiled to herself lightly. Maybe talking to Soul would make her feel better. Soul was apart of her, maybe she could help.

"Ok, well to start off you need to relax. Close your eyes and clear out your mind, let lose of your build up tension and open up to focus on the energy the room gives off. Once you do that , the path will open itself. Finding energy is a key skill that you need to learn before we head back home, not many people know of it, so this will give you the upper hand." Soul explained.

That sounds a little complicated but i think i understand what your saying. It's something similar to what i did in Yoga class or Ninjutsu, Martial-arts . I think this should be a peace of cake.

"Lets hope so."

India sat in a Indian position with her eyes closed. India took deep and slow breaths, relaxing her muscles. India was glad that her and Azuly had taken such classes out of curiosity, despite people having such doubtful perspectives, the classes really did help you feel relaxed and help waken your senses.

India senses blocked out the everything around her, leaving her in silence and isolated. India let go of the feelings that were weighing her down , it was the final barrier in her way. There was a great amount of pressure lifted off her. India smiled mentally, she felt lighter.

It was like being in a dark empty voided, with her eyes closed. India remembered what Soul said and began to reach out for something. India could feel an sudden aura ,it was warm, large but controlled. Is that what she was talking about? I feels strange. It felt like a lose end of a string , so she reached out to it connecting her end to the string.

Suddenly a wave of energy surged through out the green eyed teens body. Some how with her eyes closed shut , she could see a blinding white light swallow her whole. Her senses were telling her that she was in a whole another set of surrounds. Her body was no longer sitting on the warm and soft textured comforter as before, she was sitting on the floor. She could tell by the coolness of the ground, and the smooth marble surface of it. Did i do it?

"Wow, that took quicker than expected, the lesson Ki control should fly by if you can learn that quickly." India opened her eyes at the sound of Souls voice, she was standing over her grinning.

"I did it right?" India said questioning her self.

"Well , look for your self. From what I infer about it , you are a quick learner. Ki may be a little harder to learn but i doubt it if you can transport your self this easily into your own subconscious, on your first try in fact too.'' Soul sat down beside India grinning. She wasn't as serious as the last time that they had spoken, India too felt more comfortable.

The teen smiled to herself as Soul praised her. She had indeed made her way back to the blank room, the familiar endless white room surrounding her. The energy she had felt within her was small but made her body tingle with excitement. She never felt this type of energy in her unless she was fighting. It was a little power draining , just slightly but India could feel herself regain her energy, it must had been the room. Soul did say that the room had capabilities of healing.

India was still marbleized by the Souls mythical presence. She looked like something out of a Fantasize novel. It was something she was just going to have to get use to. India checked for her Amulet expecting it to be gone. She was half way relieved that the Amulet was gone. It was her reassurance that the whole thing was real.

"Thanks, i have to the say that i done something like that, but it isn't nothing close to that. I could feel something warm, and it concealed. I'm guessing that was the room I was sensing."

Soul nodded, "Yes, that was the room or to be more precise that was the Ki aka Life energy of the room." India listened amazed, it was quiet interesting she wanted to know more about this Ki.

"I think i should teach you a lesson about Ki while your hear, this seems to be right opportunity to tell you about it." Soul offered.

India smiled brightly, she loved to learn new things, especially if it would help her later on in life, it was better to learn know than later. " Sure I would love to learn more about, you said it was something i need to learn any way so why not." Soul returns India's smile with her own.

" Okay, well lets begin. First there is Ki in all living things, animals, people, the planet as well as the sun and stars. Everyone has the potential to use their own Ki and manipulate it. In our home, the universe is filled with people with that power but lack the skill to manipulate and sense it. Having that advantage your stealth and power would increase immensely . Knowing the power of your enemies as well, this will help you know when and when not to engage into battle."

India nodded as listen to the lesson Soul was telling her about 'Ki'. It sounded like char aka she had learn that in Martial arts, the discussion about it was brief didn't really go into detail. Ki may have been the same thing but on a whole another level.

India also inferred from what Soul was saying, that she was more than likely going to be fighting people. Fighting evil and putting them in their place. Rigorousness , bloody, intense battles. India always enjoyed an challenge in fights, she was a thrill seeker. Though she knew to control her desire to fight cause there was always a serious repercussion when it came to this stuff.

"Ki also gives you the ability to fly, India i'm telling you this cause,as our home is beautiful and amazing it also contains evil and disruption. You already have the skills of a fighter from what I've seen in your past, but you don't have the experience i'm afraid but i trust that you will go on the right path. You will have the responsibility to save lives and planets. Do you think you can have the burden of saving lives?" Soul asked softly, her face was stern and serious.

India eyes widen in excitement." Yep, i can handle it...So your telling me,I get to be like a super hero, and beat the shit out of somebody! I always wanted to help people. I will fight for whats right no matter what, I promise to take this with all seriousness." The teen squeal in excitement like an excited child.

Soul sweat dropped at the young teen and chuckled lightly. "I kinda expected you to act like this, it in your blood to want to fight."

India chuckled , "But i promise to take this in all ways possible serious, " she said confirming it

Soul nodded to the teen, she was a little confused about the teen was acting more loosely than before. India was excited about going back home, Soul was great that she was considering wanting to go back, but it had only been a couple of hours since she talked to the teen who was previously cautious and nervous about leaving her adopted home. Something must have happened while she was gone.

"How can i manipulate my own Ki?" India asked interrupting Souls thoughts.

"Um well lets see, this part can be really simple or really complicated." Soul explained. India nodded, she watched Soul closely as she moved in front of her in the same siting position as India.

Soul placed both of her hands in front of her own stomach, they at least two inches apart."I want you to copy what I'm doing okay." India nodded placing her hands in front of her stomach as instructed, her hands mirroring Soul's.

"I'm going to try to simplify it for you the best way I can. This is an acquirement that you need to know, and with little time , its going to be sorta rushed. Though I think you should have no problem figuring this out, searching for Ki signatures is really the harder lesson, but you did that with ease. So to start, you placed your hands in front of you, with about some space in between them. " India nodded,"Okay,this next part should be easy. Your going to do repeat them same thing you did when you were trying to access your way here, but instead of reaching out for Ki a signature, I want you to reach inside your self and find your very own."

India bit the inside of her cheek, "Okay, That sounds simple, just find my inner self. That should be easy." Soul smiled as India repeated the instructions to herself.

"You can do it India , just relax and concentrate."

India smiled at her words of encouragement before relaxing her body and mind. The Blank room was much more quieter than the room, considering it was her mind. Every thing was already blocked out with the expectation of Soul's presence and her own breathing which didn't bother the young teen's contraction. India's facial expression soften up from it serious one.

There was pregnant silence as India searched for the same warm aura as before but within her self. The teen let out a small "Aha" when she felt a warm tingling sensation within her mid chest. Her very own Ki felt different from the rooms, her very own felt like the essence of the spring time, her favorite season of them all. India compared her Ki signature to the rooms and noted that it was bigger than the rooms. Is this was meant when knowing when to enter a battle and when not too? Comparing Ki signatures to see wither or not one can beat the other.

India opened her eyes with a small smile of amusement on her face, "Okay,i think i have found it Soul. It took some time but I got it." Soul grinned in excitement, she was amazed how fast India was learning Ki. She knew it took warriors years to learn such a thing, yet here was a mere teenager getting the basics down like simple math. Well then again India is not your ordinary 'warrior' or 'person'. She's bound to have master somethings with ease.

"It is indeed true that you have found your Ki. Your Ki fluctuated when you tapped into it. Your a fast learn i must say once again. " Soul praised, India gushed lightly in excitement, grinning ear from ear.

"Thank you." India replied.

"Now for the hard part. Manipulating Ki can trump beginners but like i said before this should be easy for you." India nodded, "okay for this part, you will be gathering up your Ki and pushing it through your body, so in this case it would be your ..." Soul gaze fell to her hands. India followed the girls eyes to her hands. India's expression slowly began to change in to amazement as small yellow light began to glow in between her small palms. "Your hands.." India said finishing Souls sentence, she was in lost of words. ...That's soo cool.

"This is what your Ki can do,but there more, this is not the only way you can manipulate your Ki. There are many tricks you can learn by teaching your self how to manipulate it to your own will. Now..", Soul gazed focused back on India, " you try."

India regained her posture and relaxed. Okay that shouldn't be to hard to do...hopefully..just have faith in yourself and everything should just be as smooth as butter. India concentrated back onto her own Ki. When she got a hold of it, she concentrated on containing it for a better control on her Ki. India's Ki was all over the place. Like a wild flame with no filter in side. If she were to push her ki out like it was she would have no control over it. It was a bit of a struggle to do but she quickly got the hang of it, she held onto it a little longer with full control within her whole body. Got Dammit, I'm actually working a sweat. This Ki business is harder than anything I've done geez.

Soul smiled as she watched India, she's getting a better control on her Ki. Ah smart, trying to contain it before releasing it,so she doesn't have a loose grip on her Ki. Her Ki was like a untamed animal, fluxing higher and lower for a moment,but she has it in control now.

India let out an breath as she began to push her Ki into her own hand like Soul had demonstrated for the teen. Here goes nothing. She bit her lip lightly as focused here Ki slowly from her chest to her hands. Her facile expressions still as she focused on the space between her hands. Almost there just keep pushing , slow and steady.

India's eyes widen with delight as her very own Ki came, a small orb of energy came into visual view in her palms. It was surprisingly giving off warmth. The green eyed teen noted that her Ki was a bright blue instead of the bright yellow that Soul's had. Wow..so this it what mine looks like. It is so warm.

"Well done India. You have manged to push your very own Ki in to a Physical form. How about you try to expand it, your Ki can grow into any shape , size or form. Try it."

India nodded as she pushed more of her Ki into the small orb. Soul watched the teen with content as India's orb began to grow lager in size, doubling up its original form. India was more relaxed as her Ki ball grew, her Ki signature steady and stable. With sudden ease India switched the position of her hands to face vertically parallel from each other, her Ki blast also transforming into a cube. The sudden transition from India surprised Soul, gaining a excited chuckle form her.

"Is this okay?" India asked her teacher.

"Oh its perfect, you did an excellent job. The way you expanded it and changed it's physical form was Marvelous i must say, and for a first timer learning about Ki control. Its quiet the thing to see, and a very good thing." India nodded as she grinned to her self , her eyes idolized her work.

"May i um rest for now?" The teen asked, she starting to become exasperated. Manipulating Ki was Energy consuming. Soul nodded to the teen, in which she sighed in relief. India slowly began to disband her Ki blast. India waved her hands in the air when the Ki blast had dispersed from her hands. Her hands were really warm and it felt like electric, Man this would have been useful when i was outside in the blizzard.

"After a while the feeling should not bother you and it will come to feel natural. We can take a break for now, I know that little exercise must have taken a little bit out of you."

"Thanks, I really did work a sweat, it takes a lot of concentration and mental focus, but I'm sure it will become easier down the road with more practice." The green eyed teen wiped her brow with her forearm, it was covered with sweat. The teen smiled, "That was fun, I haven't broke a sweat in a while now. I can't wait to do more with Ki. Is there anything else Ki can do besides using it for combat skills?"

Soul tapped her chin with her index finger as she thought, "Well when you mention it, um you can also use Ki to heal wounds. Depending on the critical state of the wound though."

"Oh really? How can Ki heal wounds?", India asked.

"Your body runs on energy, its how you function and operate. For example when you get a cut, your body uses all of its energy to heal skin and muscle cells. Same thing for a broken bone, it make take longer to heal but it uses energy to start the repair of the cells. By being able to access your Ki, you can help your body heal faster. Even when your not consciously helping your body, when you practice Ki, your natural energy grows stronger than it ever was before, it will have a abundance to keep your body healthy and well. Your strength and endurance will grow stronger as you train too." India listened closely fantasized by the new information about the uses of Ki.

"But like i said before it all depends on how critical the wound is. If you ever have access to any type of First Aid , you should use it. It's good to have Ki to help heal your wounds, but you don't want to waste all of it trying to heal it. " Soul warned. India nodded, "So Ki can be my fall safe if i cant find any thing to cover up and heal my wounds then?"

Soul nodded," Yep, that would be a good strategy to take in mind. Hmm what else can i tell you about Ki.." Soul tapped her fingers against her thigh as she though of more perks of Ki. "I told you about flying right?"

"Yes, you were brief about it though."

"Well, flying is pretty easy. You basically push your Ki through out your body to lift you off the ground." India nodded it was pretty much self explanatory, not as complicated as it sounded. India adjusted her glasses as she continued to listen to Soul.

"Oh yeah about that." Soul said pointing to India. The teens eye widen by a fraction when Soul's finger was facing her it was nearly touching her nose. The teen looked at her confused at her sudden gesture.

"What?"

"Your Glasses."

India rose an eyebrow , "What about them?"

" Where you born with poor vision or did your sight start to worsen when you got older ?" Soul asked.

"Um I was born with great Vision, but it went to shit when i was in the second grade. I worn glasses since i was 8, it has improved though when i started to do yoga and Martial Arts when I got older, but its still horrible." India explained, "What about it? " India was so dependent on her glasses it was kinda sad.

Soul grinned, "Well, lucky you. As i said before now that you have started to use Ki, you will have abundance of it. So it will help your strength, endurance and as an awesome perk it for your benefit, your eye sight will be more enhanced than ever. You won't need your glasses anymore as your Ki control increases." India's mouth flew open.

"Are you serious!? That is great I should have been doing this a long time ago. " India touched her cheeks smiling ear to ear. It had been so long since she had taken the glasses off.

"Yep. It's would be a bad thing to bring your glasses to a battle. It would most likely get in your way."

"Oh you'd be surprised. I gotten into my fair share of fights. My glasses used to bother me when i was younger but it can handle having them on during fights." India chirped in, "But it would benefit me for the better if i didn't have them at all", India chuckled.

India removed her legs from their crisscross position, stretching them before they became numb. Soul watched India as she did so in silence. Her behavior was sorta odd. Soul decided to just ask the question that was itching in the back of her head.

" Hey India, May i ask you a serious question." Soul asked softly breaking the momentarily silence.

India looked up from her stretching, "Um sure. What is it?"

"Your behavior its a little off." India rose an eyebrow not really getting at what she meant. Soul continued,"I'm not saying i dislike your current attitude. Its well..its different from before. Your more chipper, enthusiastic and very lax around me. Earlier when we had first meet, you were very hesitant and cautious even after you found out whom i was. I'm glad you have taken an interest in Ki and our Home. Its just i can tell that something must have happened between the time you left and now." India looked down with light frown in her lips. Crap she knows. Soul touched touched India's shoulder lightly, gaining her attention back. "I just wanna know what happened while I was gone, you were filled with dread and anger when i tried to reach you. I just wanna know what happened so i can make you feel better about it. You don't have too if you don't feel comfortable about it. I won't force you its your choice."

India sighed softly, Well, i guess i should go ahead and tell her. She's only trying to help.

"Well, your right something did happen when i returned." India fidgeted her thumbs together as she began to explain to Soul about her recent predicament. " Over the past few months, me and my adopted Family have been going through a drift. My foster Mom and Dad were having aggressive verbal sometimes physical fights, it was very subtle at first but it had progressed in to something much worst. It resulted in their only son Mark moving out, we had been close friends for as long as I can remember. So when Mark moved out the house and began being distant, very unapproachable for weeks,I knew something was very wrong. I tried reaching out to him but he would shove me away and reassure me that everything was alright."

"..but every thing was not alright.." India could feel her eyes start to water as she recalled the past months of being alone and often chastised and being pulled into arguments that had nothing to do with her. The very small essence of what was family to her had deteriorated. "Mark's parents were always fighting to were they just flat out forgot existed. It is a good thing i have a job because i would have been staving in house, they just stop buying food regularly, and due to my abnormal appetite i really need food." India laughed bitterly. "Mark was slowly coming back around, but he rarely talked to me, mainly giving me side glances."

Soul watched silently as the teen griped her jeans. Her eyes held anger and betrayal in them."I tried to ignore them at first, it had been a while since we had seen each other... but...b-but ..he j-just looked so damn guilt ridden.." Tears silently rolled down her cheeks,a thin frown held firmly on her lips.

"When i woke up from our first encounter, i decided to go eat to cheer my self up, cause food always works when i feel down. I was surprised by two things when i walked down stairs. One was food, Azuly has a huge dinning table and the whole surface was covered with delicious food. The second was Mark, he was there. I was so happy he was there, he seemed to be alive and carefree again like his old self... we talked and ate. but then he started to give me remorseful looks when i wasn't looking. Mark had been hiding things from me for so long...i wouldn't have been so pissed about it if it wasn't obliviously about me. "

Soul reached over and gave India a tissue. How di- just take it she's being nice India took the soft tissue and wiped her face. "Thanks"

Soul smiled lovingly,"No problem."

India returned the kind gesture with a smile of her own and continued the her story."I snapped at him. It wasn't pretty and i think i scared Azuly a little. heh. Mark carried me out of the room before anything could get any hairier. He ran into a random room with me so he could explain every thing to me alone. He told me how everything started and what i didn't know what was going on behind close doors. He was trying to protect me by not saying anything but it just really hurt me even more, but i forgive him. Mark has done nothing but try to make my life better , him and Azuly."

India sighed sadly, "His parents are getting a divorce , everything was almost done they only thing that was in the way,was the decision on whom i would like to stay with. Mark was going to make it where he would have custody over me..but his parents had decided to send me back to foster care. I don't know when the papers when be finalized but its all steal means that i basically don't have a Home." India smiled lightly.

Soul rose an eyebrow when India smiled, "Aren't you upset about it?" The grim story really wasn't a 'happy' one.

India chuckled lightly as she faced Soul, "Yes I am, but I am more irritated than devastated. I had a home for the first time that i kinda liked, and it was taken out of my hands behind my back." India smiled lightly,"But i rather try to think of a way to deal with it than weep over it. I have had a fare share of breakdowns , but this time i wont cry over it."

"I wanna thank you for coming when you did, who knew a little exercise would be a good way to get rid of steam, food has usually done the trick but i think i like this better."

Soul grinned, "Well I'm glad that i was able to help. I'm here to give you any advice and guidance that you may ever need India ."

India nodded as the feeling of dread left her. That felt better than i expected, huh. India laid back on the cool surface of the Blank room. There was something that had came to her mind. It was Soul's offer that India had agreed to.

She wanted to wait a while before she freely left her home without turning back. Well that was the original plan until she learned of the current events that were happening without her consent. She didn't know how long she would have before she would be walking back to foster care. She would have to stay at least a week at Azuly's there would be a small grace period were there would be no snow , she theorized at least a day. Then there would be another round of blizzard like weather terrorizing the town again. India could use the small window of time to gather some clothing from her 'home' and head back to Azuly's.

"Soul, you think that i could possibly master Ki in a week?" India asked, the galaxy themed girl looked at India surprised by her sudden question.

"Well um, Yes and no. You show signs that you can learn the skill in the amount of time, but you'll still be rookie in experience. Though i must also mention Time is much longer than it is on the outside world. So it might be very possible and also have some time to work on your combat skills, so would go ahead and say yes, you can. Why do you ask?"

India grinned inwardly, "Well i though i have been thinking that maybe it would be time for me to go head to our 'home' since I'm losing mine. I thought i had time , but i don't. I wanna leave by the end of this week. I know it's all so sudden..."India eyes wonder to the ceiling and she clicked her tongue."But to hell with being restricted by someone else, my whole life I've been waiting on some one to come save me , take care of me, tell me every thing is gonna be alright. And now i have the chance to do it my self. I know I should weigh my options but i am in my 'Fuck it just do it!' attitude."

India turned her head over to see Soul reactions and smiled when she could see the girl was really excited, though the girl lacked facial detailed India could tell that Soul was happy about it. "That's great news! but India are sure you wanna leave that soon?"

India nodded, "I am. Don't worry i know this is an whole different attitude than before...but I'm leaving on my own terms not by some angry divorcing couple. No ones gonna tell me any different." India was determined to do this, this was her chance at do something different and get away.

Soul nodded, "Alright, if your determined to go head and leave than alright." Soul looked down at India with a serious smile, "But first we need a plan things out accordingly."

India nodded and sat up, "Yeah would be the smart thing to do."

- T S I Y-

India fluttered her eyes open. She had came back from her subconscious, where she had entered the blank room. God I'm tired. Its probably really late.

India and Soul had made plans for how the following week was going to pan out, India was excited and also exhausted. She had been pulled in and out through the Blank room a.k.a. her mind, walked and waited in hazardous weather, took a lap around Azuly's mansion after the fact when she found out that she doesn't have a home in which she made plans to go to a new home. Oh and that she has someone living inside of her, whom she would become one with when they enter there way back home. What a day

Fucking confusing , yet exhilarating.

India fell back onto the bed in the safe room and groaned softly. Her body was in a Indian position the whole time she was talking to Soul, and her body felt numb from it.

The teen pulled her phone out of her back pocket, she grimaced and hissed when light from the screen hit her eyes. "Fuck."

After the green eyed teen adjusted her eyes she, read the time on her cell phone and frowned lightly. "Damn it's two in the morning, I better hit the damn sack."

India threw the phone somewhere on top of the bed, caring less it where to hit the floor. She cuddled up in the center of the comforter too tired to get inside the comfy sheets.

India yawned loudly as sleep over came her. This week is gonna be so crazy. Her last though before passing out.
