Sorry for the abrupt end to the last chapter, I was tired when I wrote it so I just ended it where I knew I could continue it without too much complication. I am writing this in a bit of sadness.
READ THIS BEFORE YOU READ THE STORY! It is a very sad chapter so be warned. It has suicidal thoughts and death, animal and human death's described in detail, and just a lot of death.
Sun knew the truth. The world wasn't grand. She thought about her past, though the thoughts were brought on by the rising Moon watching them ride towards Sun's children. Sun drifted asleep never letting go of the Sleigh. It shouldn't have taken so long to reach Storm's home but somehow the dream world still overtook Sun.
The first starts as she sits in a room, she sees a little girl setting toys on the other side of the room. "This is my sister's side. Mom and dad are having a baby girl and I will be helping take care of her," the small girl smiled and sat another toy down. She looked so happy to be getting a sister. She looked no older than five.
The room fades away and instead of sitting on a bed she sat on a hard waiting room chair. The same little girl sat next to her with tear-stained cheeks. "I am going to say good-bye now. Watch for her. She is the most beautiful angel and she is going to be free," the little girl looked at Sun. Then a baby wrapped in a little white sheet is handed to the little girl, the baby has dark skin and black hair. Her eyes do not open but Sun knows they are brown. The toe-headed child looked at the baby in her arms. Sun watched at the room turned a blinding white and everyone vanished but the little girl, the baby, and herself. "I am sorry I was not a good enough big sister to protect you," the little girl cried.
A booming voice sang out over the silence like thunder, "It is time."
The sound of a heartbeat echoed through the white hallway and then stopped and the little girls head dropped to the belly of the baby in her arms and strong sobs left her body like an unholy calling.
This room fades to black and the little girl is sitting on a couch laughing with her parents and her mother is handed a little long-haired toy Chihuahua puppy. The dog takes to her instantly but snaps at anyone else. "We got this dog for momma so that she can start healing from my sissy dying," A tear fell from her face, "I have my kitty to keep me good," the little girl cried.
The room fades and years of deaths flash before Sun's eyes. From kittens crushed in walls to bunnies eaten by rabid dogs which are then shot. From people who cared to people who hated. The girl was back again, a small Chihuahua puppy sitting in front of her, "this is momma's new puppy. I am carrying for him until she gets home from work, she has two weeks left. She now has two Chihuahua puppies but this one is a teacup and he is nice to me," the girl smiled. The Chihuahua puppy ran around and her father told her to put the puppy away. The girl did then her sick father laid his chair back and fell asleep. She asked if she could let the puppy out and her father sleepily said yes. She did and played with the dog then when the phone rang she ran to answer it and her father woke putting the recliner back down. A loud yelping is heard and the puppy is fetched from in the bars of the chair. He died a week later; the girl's mother would not be home for another week.
The room fades again and many more years pass with death as the leader. Her cats, her friends, her family, and her hope. When she loses her cat while she is away on a school field trip only to find out later that he died in a cage at the vets, she is never the same. The innocence that shined on her pale skin started to fall away. She lost her innocence to men when she entered high school, she had her first kiss, saw her first naked male body, and had her first heartbreak. This was the year she gave up. She planned out how she would end all of her pain. She would not go easy no, she would suffer and no one would be able to save her she would *********************** *************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** *****. Sun watched as the girl planned and planned then finally convinced herself she did not want to die. The girl still cut into her skin saying, "my blood is feeling too thick and I need to relieve the pressure." Eventually she stopped this too. She found a boyfriend who would love her but he broke her heart and she went back to the old habits then realized she didn't need to do that for others. Plus he took her back, only to leave her another year later. The girl did nothing that time but cry. She was in college and so she had bigger fish to fry than a boyfriend.
This too faded out to a black screen. The girl's life was getting in order and she was on her way to work when she did something else. The year was the year of deaths, the end of a five-year friendship/three-year relationship, the death of an uncle, of her mother's twelve-year-old cat, and now…She was backing out of the driveway when she looked forward and saw her mother's fifteen year old Chihuahua laying on the grass as he had done since his hearing and vision had went out. Then she saw what made her heart stop…Red. The Chihuahua was solid white with brown ears, no red. She jumped out of the car and ran up to the Chihuahua yelling to her friend, "Where was the dog?" She stopped mid step when she saw him. She had run over the dog that was gotten for her mother to heal from her sister's death. Even though he was old he still had life in him and she had killed him. The friend was taken home by the girl's father and the girl broke. She went to her room to stare at her weapon of choice and decide what to do. She wanted so badly to relieve her heart of all this blood and pain. She didn't though, she sat down and cried. She hated herself because no one else would, "it was an accident." The girls eyes watered as she tried to say, "all accidents can be prevented." Sun watched, her heart aching for the girl who had lost so much and done so much. The girl painted her nails and held onto her cat who was only four years old all of her other cats had died at one point or another or they had choice to go be her parent's cats. Dogs may be picked by the owners but cats pick their owners.
This picture faded also, a meeting came. A handsome dark-skinned man. He seemed to chase away the death or at least help suffer through the blows. The man married the girl and then they were happy. They had a child and were even happier. Then, of course the inevitable happened, the man died.
Darkness overtook her again and a woman stood in front of her. The woman wore a black sparkly dress, her silver hair fell over her shoulders and her silver eyes smiled at Sun. "Do you like your past?"
Sun looked down. "I am not proud of it. Though I did have good days and bad ones. I raised a handsome young man and protected him. He has had a good life without all the pain I have had. I moved away from death!"
"Apparently not, your son still watched both of his parents die and your daughter watched three parents die, about to be four," Madeline said running her hand over her to smooth out her dress.
"You will not take my son! I will kill you first!" Sun screamed at her.
"I will kill you first!" Sun screamed as she woke from her dreams. All of the Guardians watched her and fear ran over their faces.
Now you know why Sun is so easily overcome by sadness and what she meant by "so much like the baby she had held years before." I am catching up with myself and giving you some of the sorrow you need to feel the joy in this story. Speaking of joy there is the matter of romance…
Votes: The votes are still open and I will take them into consideration if I get enough votes going one way or another.
Bunny: 1 (Oh, Bunny. Something has to change. He cannot have her in Bunny form.)
North: 0 (Poor North. He so wants to feel loved)
Tooth: 1 (Sorry to the person who wanted Sun to fall in love with Tooth. Sun is straight and so is Tooth. If I had a homosexual character then yes I would have something happen but I wrote the story using only straight characters. I am sorry to those of you who want that. I just did not see a way to fit it into the story. I will also not have her love be Jack [he has Tooth] or Sandy).
Someone else: 1 (Mystery person!)
