Author notes: Hope you enjoy this chapter, please review I would love to here your comments.

All I could see was darkness nothing but darkness; I started to hear whispers in dark, "mummy" I looked around trying to find who maid the noise. "Mummy" it was getting louder it sounded like a young girl, "Mummy" it was almost ear splitting how loud it was getting "mummy… mummy… mummy… mummy… mummy" I ran threw the darkness looking for this little girl and then it clicked who would cool me Mummy.

"Beth" I whispered and just like that a seven or eight year old blond haired, hazel-eyed girl was in front of me. I sank to my knees with tears in my eyes "Beth".

She looked into my eyes and started to cry as well "why did you leave me Mummy" she cried, "what did I do" she started to fade "don't you love me" and then she was gone.

I got up and started to run "no baby come back… I love you PLEASE come back" I fell to the cold hard floor, the darkness enclosed around me.

"YOU LEFT ME MUMMY, WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME" she screamed and then the darkness engulfed me.


"BETH" I screamed as I jumped out of bed looking around me, trying to find my little girl "Beth" I whispered I backed up into a corner and dropped down to the floor bringing my legs to my body and started to cry.

As I was crying in the corner I didn't realize that three women were on the bed huddled together looking down at me with worry.

"I'm sorry I'm so sorry" I mumble into my legs.

"Gloria" a soft voice spoke

I suddenly stopped my crying and looked up to see my teacher Miss Denali Kneeling in front of me with the school nurse Tanya and another long, wavy blond haired woman next to her.

"Miss Denali"

She smiled and nodded "hey there Firecracker"

"Miss Denali why am I only in my underwear" I blushed as I saw the three fully clothed, blond women look at me intently.

"Oh well you see, you had a very high tempter and we had to cool you down" Tanya spoke for Kate

"o-ok" I stuttered

"Besides it was that or we give you a cold shower" Kate grinned wiggling her eyebrows. Tanya goes to smack Kate upside the head but mist; Kate sticks her tongue out in victory until the other blond successfully smacks Kate's head.

I blush deeply at Kate's suggestion.

I closed my eyes, laid my head against the wall slowly breathing in and out. I gradually got my head together and bottled up all my emotions.

Flashbacks of what happened came to me, I remember singing and then walking on to the ice crying, I then remember falling into the ice and then that's it, I can't remember what happened after that. I slowly got back up on my feet.

I open my eyes and looked at the three women now standing "thank you for taking care of me, but I must go" I go to walk away but my legs fail me and I stumble into Tanya "nope you are not going anywhere except back into bed."

Tanya goes to push me back to bed but I push her arms away from me and stumble away from them towards the door.

"Stay away from me" I mumble and grab the jogging bottoms that were lying on a chair and pulled them on why'll walking out the door.

"Wait where are you going" shouted Tanya following me threw the hall and down the stairs.

"You just woke up from a high fever," shouted Kate as she followed Tanya.

"Which you got from walking on the ice and nearly drowning" spoke the other blond I didn't know, who grabbed my hand and started to pull me to the living room and sat me on a chair.

I go to get up but all three pushed me back down "look I appreciate your help before, but I don't need your help know" I said why'll jumping over the side of the chair, all that cheerleading has it's perks. "So if you don't mind I have to go home before my parents start to worry."

I go to walk to the door when the one I didn't know spoke "what home"

I stop and ball my hands into fists.

"You mean that little campsite on the hill" Kate spoke this time.

I turn around and look at them with such anger I could almost see red "WUR YOU FOLLOWING ME?" I yelled.

"Well when we brought you to our home after your accident, you didn't have any ID or a phone so we couldn't contact your parents" Tanya spoke softly and tried to move closer to me but I stuck my hand out.

She sighed, moved back and carried on speaking "So Irina" Tanya pointed to the women next to her. "Went out and followed the footprints you left in the snow and found not a house but a campsite" Tanya whispered the last word.

Irena laid a hand on Tanya shoulder and spoke for her "I thought I might have maid a mistake but then I found a guitar case, a school bag, toiletries a hair brush with pink hair on it, a BMX bike and I also found a sleeping bag with the name Quinn written on the inside"

They started to look at me sympathetically, which just pissed me off even more "STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT, it's my bloody life and I'm doing fine on my own." I walk up to them so my body was nearly touching there's "so stay out of my bizness," I hissed at them.

They stare at me in shock and nearly on the verge of tears, I know they were just trying to help but I can look after myself.

"I don't need anyone" I was starting to shake in anger I have to calm down, I brought my hand up to the one thing that could calm me down, but it was gone. I look down in panic "where is she" I spoke quietly.

I looked back up, they were looking at me perplexed "where's my locket" I cried.


After twenty minutes of turning the house upside down, looking threw the room I was in and going threw my clothes that were neatly piled on the bed. That was now thrown everywhere, kind of like the bedroom.

I stumble out of the room to meeting the eyes of the three women.

"Did you find it?" Irena spoke softly

"No" I started to rubbed my hands over my face when I had a flashback of me sinking in the lake water and then someone pulling me upwards, I then saw my necklace float off my neck and descending into darkness. I tore my hands away from my face in horror "oh no" I whimpered.

"What is i…" I didn't give Kate a chance to finish her sentence before I ran down the hall, down the stairs not even bothering with shoes or any other clothing. I just ran full pelt out the door and into the snow with my bare feet, jogging bottoms and a bra.

I didn't care that Tanya, Kate and Irena wur screaming for me to get back in door's I just ran and ran until I saw the lake. Before I could even reach it Tanya grabbed a hold of me "NO LET GO OF ME" I shrieked as I tried to fight my way out of her grip.

"Gloria please stop fighting" Kate spoke as she tried to help Tanya.

"No let me go its there it's just over there" I kept squirming out of Tanya's hold but she just held on tighter. "Geese what are you the hulk. Let me go" but she still wouldn't let go in fact she threw me over her shoulder with me kicking and screaming.

I looked at Irena "please Irena it's the only thing I have of her, it's a silver locket with an angel design on the front in gold it's in the lake wear you dragged me out" I begged her she looked at me and then the others not knowing what to do "please… please… its all I have of… her" I started to cry hysterically.

I didn't even know that we were all back in the house until, Tanya took me off her shoulder, sat down on the sofa and cradled me into her cold body as I cried. Kate sat next to Tanya rubbing my back in soothing circles, why'll Irena knelt on the floor in front of me "ok baby girl I'll go get it you stay hear ok" I looked into her eyes and saw golden orbs looking wright back at me with such love.

"Ok" I whispered threw my sobs. She smiled moving forward and kissed my forehead, I closed my eyes. When I opened them she was gone, I looked up at Tanya and lade my head in the crook of her neck.

"Prroww"

I looked down to the floor to see a familiar furry little face staring back at me "Ducky" I spoke with joy as she jumps up on my lap. I stroked her furry head "Ducky I mist you" she licked my hand and snuggled into my lap purring.

Tanya smiled down at me "she followed us in the house when we brought you here" she stroked Ducky's back. "She kept crying for you until we brought her to your room and then she would snuggle up next to you, she would only leave your side to get some food but then she's wright back at your side" she smiled when Ducky crawled up my body and curled up on my shoulder rubbing her head on my cheek purring intently.

I smile at her "yeah she follows me eve where" I turn and kiss her head.

"You named her Ducky" Kate smirks

I blushed at the name choice "yeah well she reminded me of my best friend"

Kate looked at me confused "your friends name is Ducky"

I sighed "no her name i…." before I could finish my sentence Irena came in socking wet with my locket in her hands. I jumped up out of Tanya's lap in relief and walked up to Irena and gave her a massive hug and a kiss on the cheek "Thank you Irena" I hugged her again "you have now idea how much this means" I mumble in her chest.

Irena carefully put my locket back around my neck next to my heart where it should be. I pull away from the hug, socking wet "ha I think we should get a shower and warm up."

She looks down at me with slightly darker eyes than before with a big cheshire grin. "Should we take my shower or should we take a bath that way you can warm me up with your body heat" she moves closer to me.

My face must be the colour of a strawberry at the thought of seeing Irena naked; I started to feel a warm tingling between my legs. I push her away and walk up the stairs quickly "I meant separately you purv" I groaned as I herd Irena, Tanya and Kate laughing behind me.

Ducky licked my cheek probably trying to cool my heated face down. I smile at her as I walk into the room I was using for the past few days. Walked into the bathroom locking the door, I slid down the door and opened my locket to see the face of my baby Beth, thank god my locket it water tight. I kissed her face and got ready to take a nice long needed shower.

As I got into the shower with Ducky running around in the water billow me squeaking with enjoyment. I couldn't help but sing my favourite song I love singing when I take a shower, I just couldn't help it I mean who doesn't sing in the shower.

Now that you're out of my life
I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you
But I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you
But I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without you
I laugh harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without you
Now I'm wiser
Though that I'd be helpless without you
But I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold 9 million

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon give up
I'm not gon stop
I'm gon work harder
I'm a survivor

Thought I couldn't breathe without
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without you
But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now
But it won't stop
Thought that I would self destruct
But I'm still here
Even in my years to come
I'm still gon be here

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon give up
I'm not gon stop
I'm gon work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon give up
I'm not gon stop
I'm gon work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it

I'm wishin' you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness

I'm not gon blast you on the radio
I'm not gon lie on you and your family
I'm not gon hate on you in the magazines
I'm not gon compromise my Christianity
You know I'm not gon diss you on the internet
Cause my mama taught me better than that

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon give up
I'm not gon stop
I'm gon work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon give up
I'm not gon stop
I'm gon work harder
I'm a survivor

I got out the shower still singing, I grabbed hold of a towel rapt it around my body and threw a small one over my head rubbing my hair dry as I walk into the bedroom not seeing three women on the bed watching me sing.

Oh (oh) oh (oh)...

After of all of the darkness and sadness
Soon comes happiness
If I surround my self with positive things
I'll gain prosperity

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon give up
I'm not gon stop
I'm gon work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

Ducky ran past my leg and started to shake all the water off her body all over me "aarrr Ducky you little sod" I threw my towel on top of her. I herd giggling over near the bed I look up to see three sets of eyes on me, my face turned the same colour as my hair as I stood dripping wet in front of Irena, Tanya and Kate.
