I was running. Trees were flying past me. Branches and brambles scratched at me. I was so exhausted. I stopped to catch my breath. Leaning on a tree, I breathed heavily while listening for the sounds of my pursuers. I looked to my left. Nothing. They had given up the chase. I turned and began walking in an easterly direction. Suddenly a wolf appeared before me. I turned to run and saw another, then another. I was surrounded by wolves. They ranged in color from a deep black, to an almost blue silver, to a deep brown. There had to be twenty of them. I turned to face the one that had confronted me first. I crouched in a defensive position, which seemed hard to do. I looked down at my stomach. I was obviously pregnant. When did this happen? During my momentary distraction, I heard a low growl from behind me and a soft whimper from in front of me. I looked up. There was a huge silvery-blue wolf walking toward me, teeth bared. I backed up carefully, but tripped and fell backwards. Instantly I was pinned down by four of the wolves. They were so heavy. Their bodies were hot against my skin. I struggled against them. Their bodies slowly began to cool. Soon they were frigid and ice cold. I struggled more. The sun came out from behind a cloud.

I saw a human face looking down at me from bright lights. Another face peeked forward into the light. I blinked twice, and tried to clear my head of the bad dream. I looked around, confused. A silver haired man was holding me down. Another man was examining my arm. Confused, I resumed my struggling. The man grabbed my arm and began moving it. I instantly cried out in pain. The silver haired man bent down and lightly kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes once more.

The silvery wolf removed his warm nose from my forehead. I heard him whimper again, obviously in pain. I heard another low, menacing growl. I turned my head to see a large, pitch black wolf with red eyes staring angrily at the silver one. I returned my gaze to the silver one. His brown eyes were so sorrowful. He whimpered again as the big one growled. He turned his eyes first to my face, then to my stomach. I instantly knew. The black wolf wanted my baby. Dead. I screamed once more and began crying. "NO! Not my baby! Please. Don't kill my baby. He's all I have left of--" I choked up and sobbed before I could say any more. I pleaded a few more times, "Please. He's all I have left." The silvery wolf looked at my face with sorrow, and bared his teeth. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the pain. It never came. I heard snarls and growls from all of the wolves. I opened my eyes and looked around, curious. I looked where the noises came from and saw the black one and the silver wolf fighting. The silver wolf was obviously injured. The black wolf quickly finished him. I screamed. The black wolf was suddenly standing over me, teeth bared and ready to strike. Surprisingly, the attack never came. I opened my eyes again, wondering. Several wolves were running away, others were flying through the air. The wolf was glancing between me and something located behind me. I turned slowly. A young man was standing there. He too had silver hair, almost as though he was the wolf. The wolves eyes had been a deep brown, where this mans were an almost entrancing green. the wolf glared at him for a while, then turned tail and left. This man must have scared some of the wolves away. The black one must have seen that he was alone. I looked at the man, questioning. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and saw that I was bleeding. The man stood over me, then gathered me in his arms and kissed my forehead, causing me to fall into a deep sleep.

I awoke. I was lying on a small bed in a hospital. The silver haired man, who I now remembered to be Skye, was nowhere to be found. Sunlight was streaming in through the window. I sat up. My arm was in a purple plaster cast. As I examined it, I noticed a message scrawled in beautiful script written on it.

My lovely fairy: I hope we meet again soon someday. Phantom Skye

"Phantom Skye?"

A voice came from the other room. I did not recognize it. "I believe she has woken, Trent."

"I'll take her back to Mineral Town if that is alright with you, Hardy." I recognized this voice as the one who had taken care of me when I first arrived.

"Of course. I trust you can handle the follow up care for her?" This must be Hardy.

"I learned it all from you." Doctor walked into my room. "Hello there. It is nice to see you awake again."

"How long was I asleep?"

"Only two days. I am worried though. You were talking and screaming in your sleep."

"I was? I hope I didn't say anything embarrassing!" I knew that I had been talking in my sleep, but it didn't feel like I had been sleeping at all. I was there. And so was Phantom Skye.

"Of course not. Just seemed like you were having a terrible nightmare. A few phrases pleading for something or another."

"So I am free to go?"

"After I escort you back to Mineral Town, you can resume your normal activities. Just be careful not to get your cast wet." He helped me out of the bed and gave me a steady hand to hold on to while I regained my balance. "We'll just eat a meal at the Inn before we head out. It's a long trip, though I'm told you were unconscious throughout the entire trip."

We walked out the door and into the blinding sunlight. Looking around, I realized I was in the most beautiful place I had ever seen. The village was so alive! There were people walking everywhere. I followed Doctor, amazed by all the beauty and life. We stopped in front of a large building.

Doctor spoke before we entered. "I don't believe I know your name. I'm dreadfully sorry."

"Oh! Of course. My name is Tinkerbell. I think."

"Pleased to meet you Tinkerbell. I"m Doctor Trent. You may call me either."

A/N OK! So I know this chapter ends horribly... but this was my only choice. Otherwise, it would have gone on for quite a while. So I made a valid attempt to end it at a decent spot so that it wouldn't be too long! (In this case, too long means completely and totally illogically long!) And I totally realized that in six chapters, besides the time she spent passed out, She has only really lived for half a day. wow!
