So, now we're back in Sanaii's point of view. I got a comment that asked about the project. To tell you the truth, I completely forgot about the project. To be honest, though, she might not even make it to do the project…ominous…oh, and it's okay that you're confused because I'm always confuse.
I brush through my hair, pulling it back into a high ponytail. Clicking on my iPod, I lie down; ready to go to bed after such a confusing day. I lay in fetal position and close my eyes, slowly drifting into sleep…BANG!
My eyes fly open. And I jump out of bed. There's someone in my house! My hearts pounding as I race down stairs. My mirror's broken…by apparently a rock, but there's no damage to my windows, so how did it get here?...
"Hey," a voice came behind me. I spun around quick, my right foot lashing out to stop the intruder. He ducks. "Whoa! Watch it. It's me…Gaara."
My eyes go wide, though he probably can't see them. "H-how do you know where I live? Why are you-"
"No time to explain. We have to get out of here, not. They're coming."
"Who's coming? Where are we going?"
"I can't tell you now," he snaps, grabbing my wrist and pulling me out the door. "How fast can you run?"
"Definitely not fast…" I say. "I'm different."
He sighs and lifts me up. "I'll explain on the way…"
"Tell me what's going on," I demand.
"We came here to get rid of someone…a dangerous someone. This…person terrifies everyone here, and they feel the world would be a better place without her," Gaara says, looking down at me. Realization lights my face.
"Why me? Why am I always singled out!" I whisper, terrified.
"You are the Dark Mother's avatar. Her link to this world," he says. "You probably have a lot of her powers, too."
"Kali? My mother? Kali? The Terrible Mother, both womb and tomb, has forsaken me by doing this! Why would she…"
"I won't let them get you," he states firmly.
I look up at him; no one has shown me kindness… "You shouldn't help me. You're making a mistake! Go back to your brother and sister and pretend that you have never met me! Go!"
"Why," he asks. "Why would I leave you?"
"For your life! The last person who showed me kindness died! They killed her because she was nice to me! KAYLA!" I scream.
He shushes me. "I don't fear death. I would give my life to save yours."
"Why?"
"Because I care for you."
I stare at him, incredulously. "You…" but he speaks over me. "I'm the Jinchuri of the one tailed demon, Shukaku. At my will, I can let it overcome me. Maybe it's the same with you and Kali Ma. Close your eyes and let her take over…"
Okay, I forgot to explain it in Chapter five, but Kali Ma is the Hindu goddess of destruction, death, life, preservation, and creation. She is also known as Kali or Kalika—she who destroys, in Sanskrit—as I alluded to in chapter three. She is also referred to as the Dark Mother, both giver and taker of life. But she is not completely evil; she kills demons as well as man. See everyone knows that she is Kali Ma—not just the goddesses avatar—except for Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, and now Sanaii. You haven't even seen what Sanaii can do yet.
