Chapter 10

Fix You

I looked at Snake Eyes, my eyes started to water and I haven't even started speaking yet. My weakness.

I looked down at the water bottle in my hands and I started fidgeting around with it.

"it all started when I was 5, back the I was just little Alyson Carter, Aly for short. I was coming home from a carnival with my parents and my baby brother. My parents weren't anything special my mom was a middle school English teacher, and my dad was a chef at the local restaurant. My brother was only a couple months old. "

I turned my head away. I took a deep breath and I kept going " we were walking down the street my dad had parked in a alley way, my mom had told him not to, but he said nothing bad was going to happen. My mom was holding my brother-Jason in her arms he was sleeping. And that's when they came out of the darkness. There were two big Russian men , and a Russian woman with fiery red hair. My dad pushed me and my mom behind him. My mother, she knew what was going to happen."

I paused I brushed a tear from my cheek and kept speaking the words that I haven't spoken in so very long.

"my mom handed me my brother and told me to run. I held my brother and ran, I could hear the gun shots from a distance. Grantit I was only 5. I ran to the only place I knew. There was this 40 some year old lady that would take care of me and my brother, so I went there. I pounded on the door with my little fist. She finally opened the door and I begged her to take my brother. She finally agreed. I started running back to where my parents where, she asked where I was going and I told her to be with my parents."

My breathing was getting ragged now, and I didn't know if I could go on. But Snake Eyes took his gloved and wiped away my tears.

You don't have to continue if you don't want to

"I have to"

I looked at him and went on with my story.

"when I got back I saw my parents lying on the floor motionless with a dark red surrounding them. The women with the red hair came up to me and said 'smart girl, now its time for you to come home.'

And I followed her to my new home if you could call it that. They trained my day in and day out. I was never a normal child always learning a new way to kill, or a new way to defend myself. I never had any real friends just older people who where my sparring partners. I was about 8 when I had my first real friend, who was also my first 'ninja' instructor. He taught me everything I knew.

He was one of the kindest people I have ever met, but when Anya, the women with the red hair decided that I was done training with him. She killed him in front of me.

I remember running to him, and him telling me that the darkness that surround you cannot hurt you, it is the darkness in your own heart that you should fear. And those were his last words to me before he died.

After that Anya decided that I should have heartless instructors. I was only a weapon after all. I had language instructors, trainers, and regular education teachers.

But when I 10, I was joined by two other people Adam Burke, and Katarina Pierce.

Adam was to kind and caring to be there, and Katarina was to thirsty for blood. She was a liability that I would have to clean up her messes.

They were the same age as me. And they slowly became my first friends.

We started doing everything together training, learning, eating, we were becoming an unconvential family given the circumstances. And when I turned 16 Adam told me he loved me as more than a friend. "

I started laughing and crying and Snake Eyes put a hand over my shoulder.

"I'm sorry he was just such an idiot"

Was?

"A couple of months after my birthday, Adam and I planned to escape. And we almost made it. But we didn't expect Katarina to be the one to stop us from going. She stood in front of the doorway and told us that we should stay and become perfect, but I didn't want that and neither did Adam.

So we fought. I was always stronger and better than Katarina, but after everything we had been through together I couldn't kill her. But she went after Adam. He was to soft to hurt her, so she took him down. I tried to protect him, which is how I got the big slash on my back. But I was to late Katarina stabbed him in the stomach and said that she wanted to be called shadow from then on. I shot her in the arm and she passed out.

I held Adam in my arms, and he told me to go and find my brother, and to leave him. I-I didn't want to but he told me he loved me and to go.

So I left."

I felt fresh tears escaping my eyes, and a new pain in my chest. Just the thought of leaving Adam there in that hell. I shook my head.

You did what you had to do.

I looked up at him, did I really? Or was I just being selfish?

"So I left I didn't know where to start, so I took jobs from different employers trying to get enough money to go back home, and find my brother.

It took me 4 years but I found him. I was 20, and Jason was just turning 15. When I saw him, I took him into my arms and I hugged him so tight I thought I would never let him go.

Of course he thought I was some psycho, that dork. But it took some long explaining but I convinced him I was his sister. I told him who I was and what I did, and what happened to our parents. He took it kind of well, but something tell me that old lady told him before I did.

I told him that I would never let anything bad ever happen to him. That's why I have to go and find him. Its what I was created to do. Find people an chase them down.

I'll be damned if I don't find him Snake Eyes. He's the only thing I have left. I cant lose him, I just cant lose him."

I cant take it anymore and I just start crying, I don't think Snake Eyes really knows what to do at this point but he comes up and hugs me. I pull myself closer to him, and hide my face in his chest. I let it all out. Everything bad that I have ever had happen to me in my life was being let out.

And I'm grateful that Snake Eyes was there to just listen.

He pulled away from me and signed we will find him Chase I promise you.

I look up at him. "I know we will. "
