"So is there more of you?"

"Yeah. Tons of books like me my master made. One day my master made a book that has more spells and more power then all the books, but this one didn't like to follow the master. He has a mind of it's own, he controls people instead of them controling him. It's like if he controls them because he can give the person what they always wanted, but they have to do something for him. He wants power and fear everywhere, my master tried to destroy him but he couldn't be destroyed. So he hided him so no one will find him, but it sounds like someone has it."

"I wonder how my dad found him?"

I put my hand on a tree and it suddenly died.

"Did I just do that?"

"Looks likes somethings wrong with you powers."

"I can see that."

"Whenever my master touches plant it never dies."

"Well looks like I'll be needing gloves."

"Kirra!"

I woke up and it was already nighttime.

"Kirra what happened?!" Booker asked me.

How did he got out of my backpack?

"I don't know? All I know is that a skeleton attack me, said 'you only have two months before you end up like me', and I was knock out." I told Booker as I got up.

His eyes went wide and he ask "Kirra can you take off you gloves please?".

"Okay?" I said.

I took off my glove on my right hand and it was normal. I wonder why Booker is worried about me? But I found out once I took off my left glove. It was- WHAT?! My eyes went wide when I saw my left hand was a skeleton hand. I felt like fainting.

"Why's my left hand like this?!" I shouted. What did I do to deserve this?! You know what, I think I don't need to answer that.

"I think the skeleton put a curse on you?" Booker.

"Well duh! How do I stop this?!" I said to Booker.

"I don't know? I've never seen this in along time."

"And your suppose to be really old."

"Look, it's hard for me to remember things that long."

"So what your saying is you know how to stop this!?"

Just before Booker can say anything we heard a scream for help. I grabbed Booker and ran to where the noise came from. I was in apart of the forest where there weren't a lot of trees, I saw a little boy surrounded by bandits, and one of them grabbed him by his shirt. He has brown messy hair with light red streaks, and blue eyes. He's wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. He looks like he could be six.

"Hey you!" I shouted at them.

"What do you what!" One of them said.

"Leave the kid alone." I told them.

"And what will do about it if we don't?!"

I sighed. Do I really want to do this again. I remembered all the other times I had to do it. I almost die the first time, and I escaped the last time.

I pulled out my sword and glared at them.

"One. Last. Warning. Leave him alone or do you want to have a bad time." I told them.

"Bring it o-" the guy was interrupted by other guy who I think is the leader.

"It's not worth it anyways" The leader said and drop the boy to the ground.

They ran off and I ran to the boy. I put Booker in my backpack so the kid wouldn't see him.

"Are you okay" I asked him as he looked up.

He quick got up and hugged me.

"Thank you." He said.

"Okay, okay, okay. Calm down kid. It was really nothing." I told him.

"But you saved me. Your my hero." he said

I was shock. No one ever called me a hero. Do this kid know who I am? I remembered being called other things.

Monster

Killer

Heartless girl

A human without a soul

Nobody

And it was all true. I couldn't call myself a hero after all the thing I done. Only a monster.

"Look kid, I'm not a hero." I told him

"Well I think you are." he said letting me go and look at me with those sapphire eyes.

"I gotta go, okay." I turned around and was about to walk off but then.

"Wait!" He shouted.

"Please... Don't leave me." He softly said.

"Don't you have parents to be with, it's the middle of the night? You should be with them." I told him.

"I don't know where they are." He said and tears started to come down his eyes.

"What happened to them?" I asked him. I kinda got worry for him.

"Me and my mommy live in our house in a big cave. One night she said she'll be back but she never came back, I went looking for her but I got lost." He told me.

"What about your dad?" I continue asking him.

"I don't know where he is too. My mom told me he had to leave when I was four, but she never told me why. She always says I look just like him." He starter to cry and shouted "I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE AGAIN! Please take me with you! I feel safe with you! I'm begging you! Please let me go with you!"

He looks lonely, and I wonder how long he's been in the woods?

"Okay, fine. You can come, but when we find your parents you'll go back with them." I told him

"Okay." he said and stop crying.

"Come on. Let's go." I told him.

We walk through the forest and it started to get late.

"I never got your name kid." I told him.

"It's Zack. What's your name?" He ask me.

That's going to be hard. I'll just use the other name I said once.

"It's Dash." I told him.

"Cool."

That's a odd response. but he is six, I think.

"How old are you?" I ask him.

"Six" he said.

Knew it.

"Okay, let's stop here." I said.

We sat by a tree and I gave Zack some of my food, and he eats it like a savage animal. I never told Zack about Booker since I don't want him to know who I really am, and then I felt something leaning on me. I look and saw Zack fell asleep on me. I can't believe a lovable child is with a monster like me. My mom always tells me that you can't love others until you love yourself, but I don't know if I can after all the things I done. I smiled as I looked at Zack.

"Who's he?" I heard Booker asked. Also there's a little hole in my backpack big enough so he can see Zack.

"His name is Zack and he's going to be staying with us until we find his parents." I told him

"Okay"

I felt a little tried, and so I fell asleep.

"Will I see you again?"

"I don't know since my dad is going to keep me busy with dancing, but our paths will cross again in the near future, I promise you that."

I smiled. It's my most favorite memory ever since I met him.
