I know I'll never find it on my own
Cause this life ain't leadin' nowhere I can go
I'm standin' still with nothin' in my way
Lettin' me go so I can find myself again
Sigma & Rita Ora, Coming Home
Chapter Seven: Coming Home
Ten hours and five minutes later, Alicia let out a sigh of relief as she stretched her back out.
"Well it's time to get off this plane Flame." She said before placing him in her oversized purse.
As soon as she exited the plane she grabbed her bags in the airport storage for a bit before walking into the airport cafes.
"Man I'm so hungry that I can eat a hoarse." She said to herself before taking a seat. After going through the menu she ended up ordering four large rare steaks, two orders of fries and an order of onion rings.
After sneaking Flame a small piece of steak she ordered an entire cheesecake and five large sodas. Once she was finished she sighed in relief.
"Now that was a good meal." She said to herself. After a few minutes she pulled out the letter from her purse. Her eyes widened when she recognized the unique hand writing.
"I can't believe him. Might as well see what he has to say." She said before opening it.
Alicia,
The way I spoke to you today was very unforgivable. I have never regretted any decision I have made in my long life. But in truth, you are not a whore. I have misled you for years and for that I truly apologize. Someday when you are fully grown you will understand what I mean.
My species gets bored easily and distracted even easier. We let our curiosity guide us at times, and it tends to get the best of us. You're human for the most part, and I do believe you will get over this faster than you think, woman. You will heal. As your kind says. 'Time heals all wounds.'
I could have just erased your memories. Kurama thought that it would be better for you if I did. The fool actually said something right for once. (Tell him that and I will kill you the next time I see you.) The fox told him that it would hurt you more if you forgot what you have learned, and that this experience will teach you a very valuable lesson in life. One that I hope you have learned.
I know that this is as much as you have ever heard me talk, and in truth it's the most you will ever here from me, even if it is on paper. I have been debating with myself, if I should give this to you or not. I went against my pride and better judgment to do so. Keep them if you wish. I really don't care.
Hiei
Alicia smiled as she wiped a tear from her eye, and pulled out the first item. It was a shiny golden charm bracelet that had a small, black tear gem, a black dragon, a white dragon, a lavender jagan a white wolf, and a gray wolf. She smiled as she snapped the bracelet on her right wrist.
The next thing she pulled out was a thin gold chain that had a yin yang sign dangling from the end. A black dragon was wrapped around the sign of balance. The beast looked like it was coming out at you with its mouth open in a mighty roar.
She clasped the chain on her neck before pulling out the last item. This piece of jewelry made her brake down in tears. It was a gold ring that had four small, blue diamonds on each side of a black tear gem.
The gem was dipped in some kind of gloss only found in the Demon World. The gloss made the onyx gem shine and standout. On the inside of the band the name Hiei Jaganshi was carved. She sighed as she stuck the ring on her right middle finger.
Alicia wiped the tears from her eyes before she left a twenty dollar tip on the table. After she left the café she got her belongings from the storage and had them brought outside.
When the cool Seattle air hit her she let out a content sigh. She pulled out her model of the upcoming IPhone and looked at the time.
"7:40PM. Damn." She said to herself before looking up at the sky.
She saw the pinkish hue that appears when the suns below the horizon. She smiled a true smile. "Twilight, how becoming." She said to herself before unlocking her phone and calling a cab.
A few hours later the cab arrived and the driver helped her load her belongings into the trunk. As soon as she climbed into the back the driver took off towards her destination. She smiled to herself as she looked up at the blackened sky.
"It's a new moon tonight, time for me to start anew." She whispered to herself. The driver smiled in his rearview mirror, before continuing on.
"Are you sure you want to move here miss. No disrespect but your young and this town is extremely boring to the young folk."
Alicia leaned forward and smiled at the driver. "None taken sir. I just wanted a change."
"And while most people my age want excitement in their lives I've had enough of that to last me two lifetimes. This boring old town is just what I need." She said before leaning back in her seat.
"Whatever makes you happy young lady." The driver stated nicely. After that there wasn't much more talking.
About an hour later Alicia looked out the window and saw the headlights flash across a sign. The sign read, The City Of Forks Welcomes You.
