I stood there, frozen to the spot that I stood on, being forced to stare unblinking at the scene before me.
I saw me, how I looked like before my disease got so bad I had to take the medicine; albino.
The albino me ran outside and tackled mommy in a huge hug, sending mom staggering back a bit, laughing as she wrapped her arms around the younger me.
The two walked as if they were going to go inside, "my" hand wrapped around mom's hand as far as it would go, and she smiled down at the little girl with a happy face.
Suddenly, mother pushed me to the ground, screaming at me to stay down there until she said it was okay to get up.
The little girl's eyes were filled with terror, but did as mom told her and crouched down with her hands over her head.
I could not pry my eyes away as the cloaked men jumped out of the bushes around the clearing, one going straight through my invisible, intangible body.
They all wore black cloaks and wielded some of the most violent-looking weapons, including a metal club with serrated spikes covering it, an unfairly long lance that was also serrated, and many more evil weapons.
They were so intent on the woman; they failed to notice a certain little girl crawling into the hollow underneath a woodpile.
There the girl, like the current me, had her eyes glued to the scene.
Mother dodged a few of the weapons, before she missed one step and was impaled with a nasty-looking sword through her stomach.
She coughed some blood, and the other men backed off, leaving the one to finish off my mother… the only person who truly cared for me.
He funneled chakra into the blade, and it began to vibrate, making my mother scream in pain.
Suddenly, a flash of white was seen, and the horrible man was thrown to the ground.
The younger me was on top with a kunai, and immediately started stabbing him in the chest with frightening speed.
He was dead with the first stab, as it had hit him squarely in the heart, but she kept on stabbing anyways, all the while shouting wordless rage at his corps, and tears of furry and despair falling like rivers of pain from my eyes.
As soon as she stopped, she ran to mom, kneeling down by her side.
"Mother!" she screamed, clutching onto her now red kimono.
Mommy's hand lifted and brushed a stray piece of hair from her face.
As the light in her eyes flickered and dimmed, she whispered "Don't worry, sweetie… Mommy will be okay… I'm just going to go away for a while… remember what I have taught you, and stay with Daddy… then I will be back in a few years…"
Her body convulsed, and I screamed at her from my miniature body.
"Don't leave me, Mommy! Don't go away!"
Even as her eyes lost all light and her body went limp I called out to her.
I knew that father would not be home until two days after this happened, but I still felt horrible for what my past self would go through, and what I would go through if I would be made to watch it.
If I could have controlled my body, I would have told myself to run, to go far away, and take the necklace Mommy had given me before with her.
If I could have controlled my body, I would have burned that house to the ground right there, along with everything in it.
If I could have controlled my body, I would have taken myself away, and saved my innocence.
If I could have controlled my body, I would have saved Mommy before.
If I could have controlled my body… I would have cried.
