A/n: Hey guys this is the second chapter in the Red Rose Pirate and I will be going into more detail about the strange man and woman in Ty Lee's dreams. This chapter is meant to be short because I am setting up for the next chapter which will be LONG because it reveals the past and will explain a lot. Once again R&R. ENJOY!

The Runner

How long had it been since she left her home and started running, months, years? No just a couple of days that's it, just a couple of days. Of course she was just guessing she had no idea how long it had been; all she knew was that she was afraid to sleep because she would always see them. Of course she knew their names now, they had told her last time she slept: Nightsparrow, Feh Yin, but that was just about all she understood about them. She thought back to the first time she saw them in a dream and what they told her.

"Excuse me but who are you?" whimpered Ty Lee slowly and in a meek tone.

There was a long pause before the woman said, "I am you in a different life young one, I am the Red Rose Pirate, known throughout the seas as one of the most feared pirates ever to live and you are me after death."

Then the man spoke, "I am the spirit of the shadows and darkness that will engulf your mind if you continue on your current path."

The next night Ty Lee was sleeping when she saw them standing there; she must have been dreaming there was no other way she could see them, "What do you want?" Ty Lee asked barely above a whimper.

"We wish to know your name and of your past," said the strange man.

"I...I'm Ty Lee." she answered shyly, "Who are you?"

The strange man and woman looked at each other, "I am Nightsparrow, keeper of the unknown," answered the man.

"And I am Feh Yin, keeper of the Red Rose charms," answered the woman.

After a minute it started raining and she shoot back to reality; she was tired now, trying desperately to stay awake, but she fell into a deep slumber, and the dreams began.

"Welcome back," greeted the man called Nightsparrow, "how have you been keeping?"

Ty Lee just stood there twirling her fingers and trying not to look at the man. "Nightsparrow, I think you frighten the young girl." stated the woman who was called Feh Yin.

"What do you want from me?" whimpered Ty Lee, who was starting to get use to the dreams she had.

"Do you think she is ready to learn of the past and of us Nightsparrow?" questioned Feh Yin as she shot him a concerned glance.

Nightsparrow was silent for a bit before he answered, "She is as ready as she will ever be; it is wrong to deny her the truth of the past."

And all of the sudden the world went black until a small light came into view and then her world was engulfed in light, and then she understood everything.

A/n: sorry for the short chapter and cliffhanger but it should keep you on edge till the next chapter (3000 – 4000 words at least) is done so please no comments on the length of this chapter because the next one will make up for it I promise.
