A.N

SO IS EVERYBODY READY? This chapter was really hard for me to write and if people are wondering by the end 'what in the h*** is this' that was the plan, I really hope everyone enjoys this story because it is ending very soon I hope to end it before March or April. I want to take this time to thank Emberscar and for helping me so much.

I really hope to work with you guys again and readers I would love if you could put in your ideas on how you want the end to happen and if you want another story to take place after this, because in the next 6 chapters this story will be over.

Thank you for reading and I hope now of you kill me for what will happen in the upcoming chapters.

Letitia walked up to me and wrapped her arms around my, hugging me. Even though she was dead her body was warm and smelt like apples.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as she let me go, her white dress blowing to the right.

"I'm here to bring you back Eve" She wiped off my tears I didn't know I had cried. "I don't want to go back" I whispered forgetting about my talk with my father.

Letitia sighed "Evie, come with me I need to show you something" Her hand was held out to me and I took it as she lead me over to a pond.

*~* Ember's P.O.V.*~*

(Outside the medical wing)

I was pacing back and forth, looking from the door Eve was behind on a sterile bed, to the floor, to the members that were still outside the door, to the ceiling, and then back to the door. Worriedness was coming off of me in waves.

"I'm gonna go and start a plan on how to get the antidote for Eve," said Nat, standing up and leaving with Pein to the strategy/meeting room.

"And stop PACING EMBER!"

"MAKE ME!" I bit out harshly at her, whom she just ignored and kept walking away, I hadn't stop pacing. Nope, just the opposite, I had lengthened my strides and I could tell that I was starting to worry the other members, but I didn't rightly care at the moment.

"Why don't you sit down Ember, hn?" asked Deidara, taking my hand in his and giving me a worried look. 'More like pleading,' I thought.

I looked down at our entwined hands and then back at his one visible blue eye. I sighed as I looked away with fresh tears in my eyes as the memories that I want to remember are out of my reach. I pulled my hand outta his grasp and continued my pacing... until I was hit in the head with an idea.

"I need to go and see Nat, now," I said and turned around to leave when I felt a hand on my shoulder, stopping me from leaving.

"We need to talk sooner or later Ember... you know that, right, un?" Deidara asked, giving me a hard gaze. I looked back at him with a harder one, saying," NOT... now, Deidara..."

"When?"

"I don't know when, just..." I sighed as I averted my eyes," Just not now..."

I glanced up to see him opening his mouth , probably about to ask me again before Sasori walked over with, for some reason or another, a glare set on his features as he looked at Deidara," Brat! Leave her alone already, if she needs to go just let her go-"

Deidara rounded on him, yelling," SHUT UP, DANNA! THAT'S WHAT MADE HER DISTANT FROM ME IN THE FIRST PLACE! DISTANCE IS WHAT MADE EVE DISTANT FROM HIDAN! DISTANCE IS WHAT MADE NATALIE DISTANT FROM TOBY! DISTANCE IS THE REASON THAT MADE HER ACT THIS WAY TOWARDS ME, YEAH!"

Sasori looked surprised for a fraction of a second, before his face became emotionless once again. I sighed, shaking my head and left to go talk to Nat... After walking for a bit, I came to the room that I was looking for and walked in, seeing Nat and Pein bent over a map," Nat, I need to talk to you."

"It can wait, Ember," she replied, not even glancing at me.

"No. It can't," I said, meeting her gaze as she looked back at me. She nodded and excused herself for a few minutes from Pein who merely nodded and went back to the map. We walked into the room that I shared with Deidara and Sasori.

"Ok" she said, crossing her arms. "What is it?"

I sighed," Nat, I-I... I have a really bad feeling that if we go to get this antidote that something really BAD is gonna happen." She sighed, aggravatingly," Ember, I don't have TIME for this shit! Your damn gut feeling is something that I'll listen to when it's not one of our lives on the line!" And she stormed past me, opening the door and slamming it as she left.

I blinked as I tried to calm myself down, which didn't work out very well, as I sunk to the ground and started sobbing, sobbing for what Eve's going through, sobbing that Nat's not even hearing me out, sobbing about EVERYTHING! I hadn't heard the door opening or someone walking in, until I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, causing me to look up. And I saw, instead of Deidara, who I was suspecting it was, it was instead, Sasori, looking a bit worried," You okay?"

I quickly tried to dry my tears, but the puppet master had already seen them. "Ember" he whispered and leaned down in front of me, "it's alright to be scared an-" I cut him off yelling "no it's not, I KNOW something very bad is going to happen, maybe not now and maybe not later, but something bad is going to hap-".

This time he cut me off. He said nothing just lifted my chin with two fingers and pressed his lips to my temple.

Then my cheek.

Nose, then pulled away is hand still cupping my chin.

His lips they had felt so real.

I blinked as he wiped off the tears again.

"Em, I won't let anything happen to you" his voice reminded me of someone, but I couldn't place it, I couldn't think.

Sasori stood and smiled, then walked out saying "nothing will hurt you Ember".

I was still sitting, not crying anymore, but feeling really depressed, as I thought,' Why is it that this all seems so...' I sighed, unable to think of anything to describe it.

I was still looking down with my arms circled around my legs, resting my head on them when the door opened again, to reveal Deidara coming. And he looked pissed about something,' Tobi probably pissed him off in some way or another,' I thought.

He looked at me, and I thought that his look of anger was bad. Let me tell you, it was nothing, NOTHING compared to the look that he was giving me now.

I looked back at him, confused," What's with that look?"

His glare just deepened as he said "WHAT look?"

"What's with the attitude!?" I asked him, very confused.

He whirled on me "You know EXACTLY what's with MY attitude!"

"Okay...? What did I do?," I asked him, completely and utterly confused.

And soon, somehow, we were arguing at the top of our lungs at each other, we now had everyone, aside from Nat and Pein and Eve, at our door listening and watching. Hidan was trying not to laugh at some of our remarks.

I opened my mouth, about to screech at him what we were arguing about in the first place before he yelled," WHY DON'T YOU JUST FACE THE FACTS EMBER THAT YOUR SISTERS DIED BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU'RE FATHER THOUGHT YOU NOTHING MORE THAN A DISGRACE AND HE LEFT BECAUSE OF YOU! AND YOUR MOTHER DIED BECAUSE YOU WERE NOTHING MORE THAN A GOOD FOR NOTHING CUNT!"

I stopped, with my mouth opened slightly. I saw, out of my peripheral vision, that Sasori looked downright pissed at Deidara.

But I didn't bother with it, as my attention was on the blonde as tears starting falling from my eyes again, Fang snarling at Deidara. Candy snapping and about ready to rip his throat out.

I stood stalk still as tears fell from my eyes in torrents, as a memory came back, hitting full force. I saw a younger me being yelled at by all the older boys at the high school who hated me and Luke and Adam, the leaders, yelled in unison at me what Deidara had just said.

I gave a great sob, startling everybody as I turned and ran out of the room, surprising everyone.

I heard Hidan yelling at Deidara "THE HELL BLONDY!? What the FUCK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!?"

I didn't hear the rest of it as I found myself in the forest outside the base, and collapsed at the bottom of a tree that was a great distance from the base, where I just sobbed uncontrollably.

I felt arms wrap around me, causing me to look up into brown eyes that held comfort and... something else...

But I didn't care right at that moment, as I buried my face in his chest and started sobbing into his cloak, wrapping my arms around him and cried HARD! It's probably one of the hardest cries I've ever done in a long while.

_(8)_ Back to Eve and Letitia _(8)_

"Evie watch please" She said pointing at the pond. I looked down at the pond and gasped when I saw Natalie and Ember fighting against an ANBU. Natalie looked to her left and yelled something as Ember dug her knife into the ANBU's chest. Natalie ran over to a pink haired girl as a dark haired, pale skinned boy.

She pushed her out of the way and turned. I watched as Natalie's body was impaled with a sword. All I could see after that was Ember screaming and falling to her knees, another ANBU came from behind and started the motion to stab her, but Sasori's puppets blocked the oncoming kunai, He himself wrapped an arm around her as she screamed.

I watched as the scene change and I saw Natalie laying there in the bed. I watched Ember as she was dragged from the room so she could calm down, but a minute later she came running in. I've seen Ember crying before when her sisters were... no that's not my thought to tell.

"Why, why you, you promised!" Ember shouted grabbing Natalie and shaking her back and forth.

"You idiot, why did you do that Natalie, you and Eve promised" Her eyes had turned violet and black clouds formed around her body. I pulled away from the pond shaking, Letitia wrapped her arms around me as a screamed into her shoulder. Her voice lulled me into a peaceful sleep and she whispered "For now we'll say goodbye. We know it's not the last time, I've lost the best part of my day. This is the last thing I will remember, but its better where you're going anyway."

The next thing I heard was a soft beeping noise, but the first thing I felt was warm water on my face.

I opened my eyes to see...Ember's sisters?
