hey guys! here's the update I promised. I love your reviews and I got a review from a person named Yoshie who opened my eyes a little more. I normally read over my story once but i do it lazily. So from now on I'll be checking my spelling more. Honestly I'm pretty good in grammer but i get lazy often when it's a rough draft.

Yoshie: thanks and personally I don't approve on beta's. I feel strange with beta's but I do read over my story at least once. but i do it in a lazy manner. so i guess this is my wake up call. I'll be re-reading my chapters more than once but still no on beta.

so here's the chapter

Chapter 11

Drip, drip, drip... the sound the water made as it hit the floor. The water slid from Lavender's hair falling and building a puddle under her hair. Chase stared confused by her wet hair, her red eyes and the fact that she was practically naked. But that one sentence she said the moment she appeared. 'I killed him...' it rang in his ears. Had she killed Raimundo? Had she spoken of Raimundo, maybe she was referring to somebody else.

"Who?" he asked slowly.

"Their son... Quentin." she whispers and his eyes go wide.

"How?"

"We had been meeting everyday, but...but I didn't know he was their son u-until today..." she says tears spilling from her eyes. "I had n-no choice... I-I couldn't l-let him live... not when h-his family k-killed my family!" she shrieks.

"Are you sure he's dead?" Chase asks, the joy building in his voice.

"I'm pretty sure, he passed out after I kept him under the water, then I shoved him down the waterfall." she explains and he nods slowly. A smile slowly appears on his lips, then he chuckles lightly.

"Seem's I've taught you well young one. Now go, rest, we'll see soon enough if he is dead, that'll be one less to worry about." he says and she stands slowly covering herself, she nods then walks out of the room and down the hall towards her room. She was terrifed, she didn't want Quentin to be dead, he was her only friend, what had she done.

"I'm a terrible person..." she whispers as she closes the door to her room.

~~Kimiko's POV~~

Where was he? My little boy, where was he...?

"Kimiko don't worry, we'll find him." I turn to see Raimundo looking at me with sorrow hidden in his eyes. I nod weakly and he walks over wrapping his arms around me. I turn and bury my face into his chest and clutch his shirt tightly.

"W-here do y-you think h-he is...?" I mumble into his shirt tears staining his shirt now.

"Where ever he is, I hope he's fine." he tells me while stroking my hair.

"Raimundo, Kimiko...?" we turn to see Tory lingering in the doorway. "I just wanted to tell you guys, I'm sorry and I hope they find him."

"Thank's Tory, but we know they'll find him." Raimundo says confidentially. Tory nods smiling weakly then turns to walk away and stops. She let's out a sigh before speaking. "Tell them to check the river, he liked going there." then she walks away as a man walks in.

"We're ready to go sir, at your command." the man says looking directly at Raimundo who just nods. The man bows then turns on his heals and walks out. "They'll find him I just know they will. I nod and close my eyes as I rest my head on his chest.

Soon the couple sat tears staining their faces as they watched the seconds turn to minute then to hours. Soon the sun was gone and the couple sat at the wind watching the stars come out.

The stars glimmered like joyful eyes. Just then Raimundo's mind flash backed to the moment when Chase had appeared...

"You don't even recognize her!"

He cursed himself for not noticing. She had the same brown hair as him. She had tan skin a few shades lighter than his. Her small body that looked like Kimiko's. Yet her eyes had been closed. Had they really remained closed this whole time?

"Raimundo?" he turned his head to look at Kimiko. "Go to bed... You look tired." he shook his head but knew it was futile to argue with her right now. She wanted to be alone. Slowly he got up and walked out but stopped at the door and turned around.

"It was her you know? Lavender. She was the girl. How did we not know...?" he whispered then walked out leaving the last question to echo in Kimiko's mind.

"How did we not know...?"

The question repeated as she broke down tears falling freely. Two. That was the number of children she had and the number she had lost. Two. One against her. The other lost...


His footsteps echoed lightly as he walked down the hall. He reached his door and stopped. He reached to his neck and stroked the key at his neck. Slowly he lifted his head towards the wall, then the small handle in the corner. He walked over and pushed it open then closing it behind him. He stepped in and took note of the last and only door in this small corner. The one door that held pain and memories of one night. one person. One enemy.

He removed the key and placed it in the keyhole but stopped.

He heard it. The tune. It couldn't be. Not now. How. Where?

"it ended when i lost your love..." a voice whispered down his back. He spun around quickly his heart pounding. He looked up and saw them. Golden. The gold eyes. His eyes went wide and a fist hit his face.

"It ended." the voice snarled at him. A kick to Raimundo's chest. He slowly crumpled to the ground. "When she lost your love." the voice growled pulling Raimundo up by the hair to look it in the eyes. "What do you say? You want to sing to her?" the voice chuckled.

"Stop..." he mumbled quietly. The voice chuckled and dropped him to the ground stepping out of the shadows.

"I'll be on my way now. But there's a gift for you inside." he said disappearing leaving a green tint in the air. Silence grew but was broken when the tune flowed freely through the air. Raimundo got up slowly and pushed the door open stumbling in to see the toy spinning with life the music flowing and the lights twinkling as the planets spun around.

He let out a sigh and the music became louder. He let out a growl and stumbled over smashing the toy over the crib and to the ground. He clenched the crib tears rolling down his face.

"Ah!" he screamed kicking the crib and falling to the ground. "What did I do to deserve this shit!" he shrieked pounding the floor then dropping down. He began to pant heavily and tears streamed in a pattern. Left, left, right, left, right, right. Soon the cries died and he just laid their on the ground watching the ceiling.

"Raimundo..." he looked to the door to spot Tory in the door way. "What are you doing...?" she asked as she walked over and dropped to the ground.

"Observing..." he says lightly and she lays down next to him.

"Let her go. She'll come back when the time is right." she whispers taking his hand in hers.

"You don't get it. I could have done something, but I stood their shocked and wasted my time." he says in a bitter tone.

"No Raimundo, he did it because he's a monster." she says and he stands up shaking his head.

"I'm just a terrible father." he walks out of the room slamming the door. Tory flinches the stands up walking to the door.

"No your not..." she whispers spotting the key on the ground. She picks it up and locks the door walking away. She runs into a guard then stops. "Aren't you guys supposed to be searching for Quentin?" she snaps and his face falls. Tory's goes pale and she shakes her head. "What's wrong with him." he frowns and her eyes go wide as she brake's into a sprint towards the infirmary short shrieks of fear braking the silence around her.


"No! No! This can't be!" Kimiko's shrieks fill the air as they hold her back. "No!" she screams as if she was dying. In the middle of the room. A boy. Unfamiliar. A boy covered in blue bruises. Cuts. Slashes. Black eye. Broken arm. Twisted leg. Fractured ribs. Bloody broken nose. Cracked head. Slow heartbeat. Quentin.

"No!" she shrieks between sobs. Soon Raimundo runs in and stops at the sight.

"No...no! No! No!" he screams running to the table his eyes wide. "Quentin! Quentin can you hear me!" he screams not really questioning him. A cough comes from the broken body but blood flies out. Raimundo begins to breathe hard and clutches his chest then falls to his knee's. "no..." He lets tears roll down as he sits their.

"This can't be happening..." he whispers as hands hold him up to standing position. He stands alone watching as they use the metal plates on the boys chest. "It can't..." he falls backwards hitting the floor. The world turning black.

"It can't..." echo's through his mind as he falls into a dark sleep.
