Song choice: Stoned Jesus- I am the Mountain

Chapter Eleven: Smoc is Sgathan (Smoke and Mirrors)

Frost spread over naturally tanned skin as winter winds ripped through dark hair. Snow encased small feet and breath fell heavy from plump lips. Abhaya stood naked in the middle of a snow storm, white going on for miles. 'Where the hell am I?' She thought, her shoulders shaking from the cold air.

Abhaya normally liked the cold, as it reminded her of the years she spent in the Highlands. However, she knew if she spent much time in this that she would die. She clutched her forearms, rubbing her bare chest. Abhaya tried to take a step forward, only for a warm hand to wrap around the rise of her right hip. Heat rippled onto her and she sighed as the numbing chill of the storm was pushed away. Another hand caressed her long dark hair and tucked a dark curl behind her ear as the other hand pressed her back into a warm, hard chest. Hot lips kissed the hollow of her neck as hands traced patterns onto her supple flesh.

'Come with me,' murmured the man behind her, arms wrapping around her body possessively and breath hot in her ear.

The voice was laced with lust, in between a growl and a purr as his nails lightly raked over her thighs and hips. His hands traced over her scars, planting light kisses over the discolored skin of the bite mark. 'Why?' She said, pressing her eyes closed, reveling in the warmth of his body.

'I wish to make you mine, little mage.'

His heat slowly faded and Abhaya's back was instead met with cool grass. She sat up looking around and gasped. Her childhood home laid before her and she heard laughter, echoing against the vivid green trees and brush. She found herself off of the ground and slowly walking to the labyrinth that weaved through the forest. Night was starting to spread over the canopy of trees as Abhaya followed the voice though the moss coated stone walls that loomed over her.

A circle of black candles flickered in the middle of the labyrinth and in the middle of the circle was a small white snake with acid green eyes staring at her. The snake hissed, fangs glimmering in the warm glow of the candle light. The snake then lunged, its teeth sinking deep into Abhaya's skin.

Pain rippled through Abhaya's forearm and black spread from the puncture wounds, making her normally yellow veins black against her tan skin. The snake's face widened and changed and it smiled maliciously.

The tiger jolted awake, purple eyes darting around the room as the white tuft of fur rippled. A growl escaped its lips and its heart frantically pounded against its chest. The white dragon rubbed against the tigers paw and squeaked up at it. 'Human, I need to change back into a human,' the tiger thought, its ears low against its scalp.

Abhaya imagined herself as a human and felt her body shift back into it. She let out a small whine and panted, her body dizzy. Her arms wrapped around herself as she recalled the dream that she had. "That's the first time since…" She thought aloud, her eyes wide with fear.

Her ankles ached as she slowly stood; her dragon nuzzling her big toe as she thought a moment. Abhaya's hair and nails had grown since she had slept; her nails now claws and her hair half way down her calves. A pair of gray baggy pants and a black tank top sat by her futon and she was very grateful for that. She slowly dressed herself in them, her mind swirling with questions. Abhaya offered her shoulder to the dragon and it climbed up her arm to the crook of her neck. They then started down the hallway.

The spring sun was warm against Elias's fur as he lazily sat next to Genkai. The sliding doors of the temple were all open, letting in the warm spring breeze. He sighed laying his head on his large paws and closing his eyes. Genkai watched the leaves glimmer in the sun and she found herself smiling. "Pretty day, don't you think Elias?"

"Mhmm…" He said, taking in a deep breath.

They were beginning to enjoy each other's company. That was when he caught a familiar scent, one that made his brow furrow. Genkai watched as Elias's ears twitched and he sniffed the air. "What do you smell?" She said.

"Thought I got a huge whiff of Abhaya but I could be wrong."

Genkai shrugged. "Perhaps she is awake."

"I hope so. She worries me when she becomes so weak, Master Genkai."

"She won't be weak for much longer. Once she wakes, she won't be able to contain her powers."

"That is also what worries me."

"Why is that?"

"She loses herself when she has that much power. It's why she put the seals on in the first place; she was afraid that she was going to hurt me."

Genkai scoffed. "So you're afraid of her?"

"No. I'm afraid that she is going to do something that she regrets and it's going to eat her alive just like the death of her parents did."

"Come on dipshit! Gotta keep up with me!" Yusuke said, suddenly coming into view for Genkai and Elias to see.

Kuwabara charged after him, his face red from irritation. "Shut up Urameshi! Geez, I just got a weird feeling, ok?"

Genkai raised an eyebrow. "What feeling?"

"Like a great amount of power. Wait. You don't think…" Kuwabara trailed off.

"Abhaya must be awake."

Genkai smirked. "We will wait for her then."

The warm spring breeze ruffled Hiei's hair as he lounged in a tall pine tree. Two swords were tied to his side and his eyes narrowed at the mere sight of the mage's. 'What a foolish woman, and here I thought humans couldn't get any more senseless…' He thought, unsheathing the sword and inspecting it.

If he was honest about the sword, he would say that he was envious. The crystal sword was broad and curved seductively at the end into a sharp point. The blade was sharpened to perfection, the cross guard was blunt on one side and sharp on the other, the hilt made from deer antler. The rain guard had strange writing on it; the same type of writing that Abhaya had used to seal the skull into its cage. All of the sudden, Hiei felt a rise of energy and he knew that the mage was awake.

He frowned when he felt her distress. 'Is she…Afraid?' He thought, standing on his branch and putting her sword into its scabbard. Hiei then scoffed, glowering at her flitting energy. 'Whatever.'

Abhaya took the tall glass from Yukina, feeling all of the girl's eyes on her. She chugged glass of water, some of it dribbling down the side of her chin and dripping onto the rise of her breast. She sighed and blushed. "May I have another glass?" Abhaya said, not meeting the ice maiden's eyes.

"Of course. You should eat as well. Is there anything you would like?" Yukina said.

"Fruit… maybe some rice too…"

Keiko and Botan sat at the island in the kitchen, watching Abhaya with curiosity as she awkwardly rubbed her left shoulder. She wouldn't meet anyone's gaze and she almost seemed like a timid animal. "Abhaya? Please sit down. You look uncomfortable."

Abhaya's face turned redder. "Sorry," She mumbled and sat down across from Botan and Keiko who looked at one another and then to Abhaya.

"We weren't properly introduced. I'm Keiko Yukimura, I've heard quite a bit about you."

Abhaya's eyes flickered up to Keiko's and then back down to the table. Abhaya gave a small bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Botan grinned. "How did you sleep Abhaya?"

Abhaya's brow knitted together and she met Botan's gaze. "It… was ok."

Botan's eyes grew wide. "Abhaya? Are you shy?"

Abhaya's eyes grew wide and she ducked her head, causing all three of the girls to gape at her. "I'm… not used to…other people…"

Yukina placed a hand on Abhaya's shoulder, causing her to jump. She met the eyes of Yukina who smiled warmly at her. "Do you like natto Abhaya-san?" Yukina said.

Abhaya nodded, straightening her back a little and smiling weakly. "How many days have I slept?"

"You've slept for six days. I placed your clothes out for you, but I noticed you only have two more shirts and three pairs of pants…" Botan said, her brow furrowing.

Abhaya smiled. "I don't need much."

Yukina sat Abhaya's food in front of her with a set of chopsticks; she then sat next to her and watched as Abhaya attentively ate her food. Keiko grinned, setting her chin on her closed fist. "Maybe we should take you shopping, Abhaya-san."

Abhaya nearly spit up the food she was wolfing down. She swallowed her mouth full of rice and natto and shook her head. "I don't use money though. I would have no way to pay for it, besides I really am fine."

"Don't worry, Genkai said that your parents left you money," Botan said, grinning once more.

Abhaya stopped eating and shook her head. "I don't want to use that. It should be used for Elias, not me. I'm fine, honestly."

"I don't want it, umaidh,"Elias said, walking into the kitchen.

Abhaya glowered at him, her lips puckering with irritation. "You're growing. I'm not," She countered.

Elias sneered, his teeth glimmering in the florescent lights. Abhaya frowned as she remembered her dream. "But your boobs are still growing."

Abhaya's face turned beat red and she snarled at the hound. "Must I beat you senseless?"

Abhaya didn't even realize that she was covering her breasts until Hiei walked into the room and rose an eye brow at her. She instantly dropped her hands and growled at the demon, her eyes narrowing at the sword tucked into his belt loop. Her eyes flickered up to his and then back down at her sword. He ignored her and walked by her, grabbing his plate of food on the counter and leaving to eat in solitude. 'I want it back, glogach deamhan,' Abhaya projected, venomously.

Hiei stopped in the doorway and glared over his shoulder at her. "Then take it from me, stupid woman."

Abhaya smirked and closed her eyes. "Soon."

Hiei scoffed and continued on with his food.

Abhaya ate the rest of her food and Elias grinned. "I haven't seen you eat this much in a while," He stated.

"I was hungry. Can you blame me? I haven't eaten or drank anything in six days."

The three girls looked at one another. All Abhaya had eaten was two kiwi fruits, a small bowl of natto and rice, and three glasses of water. Was this what Genkai meant when she said that Abhaya was malnourished? They all thought and looked back to Abhaya, who was grinning at Elias.

"You should eat more. It might help you control that aura of yours," Elias said, his eyes gleaming against his shaggy black fur.

Abhaya pursed her lips and thought a moment. "Perhaps, I think what I really need to do is burn off the access that is pulsing through me though. I feel so fidgety; it's driving me crazy."

Elias sighed, closing his eyes with irritation. His master was an idiot and yet he loved her despite her self-destructive nature. He glanced up at Abhaya, his eyes narrowing. "Then go play, stupid."

Abhaya grinned but then snapped it off, a frown wrinkling her face. "Do you think it's really alright to do that though? I don't want to cause trouble…"

"I'm sure it's fine. Just don't tear down the mountain like a dipshit and Genkai will probably be alright with it."

Abhaya wrinkled her brow further, guilt covering her eyes like a blanket of thick snow. Elias scoffed. "Just go do it. If anything you will help the plants and creatures flourish by just being around them."

A weak smile smoothed out the wrinkles and Abhaya gave a small nod. She then turned to the three girls who were watching the mage and her apprentice. "I will be back before sundown, could you keep an eye on her for me?" She said, pointing to the white dragon curled in the crook of her neck.

All three girls smiled and Yukina held out her hands to the baby dragon. "Of course… oh… you never did tell us what you were planning on naming her."

"Well… the name that I'm… contemplating is Baidheil."

(A/N: Pronounced Bye-yheel… carry on…)

Elias grinned. "I think that is fitting for her."

"What does it mean?" Keiko said, watching as Abhaya sat the dragon in Yukina's cupped hands.

The dragon wrapped her long tail around Yukina's wrist and nuzzled her thumb. "It means kind, affectionate or friendly. I kind of wanted to name her after her mother, who I called friend."

Botan grinned and sat up fast in her chair. "That's a wonderful name! It suits her so well!"

"You think so? Perhaps that is what I shall name her then."

Abhaya stretched her arms over her head and let out a groan as her vertebrae popped back into place. "Now," She started with a grin. "Time to go burn off some energy."

She turned to the three girls and Elias as she started to walk down the corridor leading out into the dining room. "See you guys later."

"Abhaya. Be careful, alright?" Elias growled wearily.

Abhaya flashed a beaming smile at him. "I am the epitome of careful."

"If that isn't the biggest load of crap I've heard my whole life then I don't know what is."

Abhaya grinned and turned, flipping him off over her shoulder as she left. She heard a scoff as she came into the dining room. Hiei sat quietly eating at the kotatsu, ignoring her presence. Abhaya slumped her shoulders and glared at the demon, her eyes flickering down to her sword tucked into his belt loop. It drove her mad to see the one materialistic thing she loved on a demon who didn't even appreciate the work she had put into that sword. She then let out a loud sigh and straightened her back, slowly padding across the room to the door.

"Not going to fight me for it now?" Hiei said, not even glancing up at the mage.

Abhaya stiffened at the door, her hands balling into fists. "Chan, it's not worth it right now."

She was whipped around and slammed against the doorframe before Abhaya could even comprehend that Hiei had moved. Hiei's eyes were hard as he met Abhaya's; his mouth turned up into an arrogant snarl. "Now why's that? Don't tell me you're afraid you're going to injure me."

His bandaged hand was wrapped around her throat, the other was balled into a fist at his side. Yet he was baffled when Abhaya merely sighed and gently touched his wrist with her own hand. "No. I just don't have control over my powers right now and it wouldn't be fair to either of us if I didn't re-hone my magick before I try to take my sword from you," She said, her eyes steady and calm as they locked with his own.

'She really is an almost spitting image of her mother,' Hiei thought suddenly as his eyes examined her face. If it weren't for her eyes and the scars that lined her face he would have thought that they were twins. Then there was her unruly hair that fell mid-thigh in curls and waves. His eyes traveled down her small frame, until the scars on her shoulder and upper left arm caught his attention. Hiei raised his right hand to the bite mark and remembered how Elias had nearly ripped off her arm with that bite. His eyes flickered back up to Abhaya's with a curious glare. He then watched as her brow twitched as his fingers slowly ran down to the claw marks under the bite. She glared at him, her lips curling into an animalistic snarl as she growled.

"You attempted to hide this memory from me, why?" He growled, his eyes flickering down to her arm and back up to her violently purple eyes.

Abhaya let out a cruel chuckle, a grin spreading across her plump lips. Her voice was low as she spoke. "Because it's none of your fucking business, demon."

Hiei's grip around her neck tightened and Abhaya gritted her teeth together as he pulled her closer to him, their noses almost touching. "You will not speak to me like that, wench."

"I'll speak to you however I want. I don't care if you beat me, I don't care that right now you could crush my esophagus and kill me. I will not give you respect because you do not deserve it. I took you in when you were dying and all you have done is be the biggest blaigeard I have ever met! If I had met you twelve years ago I would have slit you from chin to navel and not thought twice about it!" Abhaya sucked in a breath and steadied herself; chest heaving as she met Hiei's furious eyes once more. "And I curse my own foolish heart for being so naïve about helping others. You will never care or be grateful about what Elias and I did for you and I don't bloody care anymore. After this is all over and we have caught the mage threatening us, you will pay us back for our services. Whether it be with a favor or a gift of equal value, I don't care."

Abhaya grabbed Hiei's wrist, her glare never leaving his and applied a great amount of pressure. If he had been a lower class demon, the sheer force of her grip would have broken his wrist. Hiei growled, his eyes wild with rage. He opened his mouth to speak only for another voice to cut through the conversation. "Hiei, let her go," Kurama said smoothly, slowly coming towards the two the arguing pair.

They both shot a glare at the fox as he came to stand next to them. Kurama placed a cool hand around Abhaya's forearm, watching as she shuttered and let Hiei go. Hiei released his grip from around Abhaya's throat and smirked with satisfaction as bruises in the shape of his fingers started to appear across her tawny colored skin. Kurama looked down at the small woman, noticing the hatred that reflected in her eyes. "Abhaya, are you alright?"

Her purple eyes flickered up to Kurama's and then back to Hiei's triumphant crimson ones. "I'm fine."

She ripped her forearm from Kurama's grip and stalked off towards the woods, her bare feet burning her foot prints into the grass. Kurama turned to Hiei, who glared up at him and averted his gaze. "Why are you so violent with her Hiei? You threaten the others but never act upon them, so why her?"

Hiei growled, his mouth turning up into a disgusted snarl. "Why do you care?"

"If we are to work with her than we must get along," Kurama merely stated, he then pressed on. "What do you think of her?"

Hiei folded his arms over his chest and met Kurama's emerald eyes with a heated glare. "She's a fool. She gave up her power to be like the rest of the stupid humans. To fit in. She's so afraid of hurting the hound that she shuts him out when she starts to care too much. She could be a great warrior, just as she was twelve years ago but she's too guilt stricken to move forward. She is the worst kind of human, even worse than Kuwabara."

"How so?"

Hiei growled. "She's a martyr."

"And you want to push her into being who she once was?"

"If it is necessary to get rid of the mage after us all."

Kurama's gaze narrowed. "And you think it is."

"Mind your own business, nosy fox."

The forest swirled around Abhaya in swirls of green and pink. She had forgotten how the earth had really felt, how it swelled underneath her feet and how the wind rippled in her long dark hair. Abhaya stopped as she found a clearing that lead to the highest part of the mountain. Boulders twenty times her size had fallen and made a small cave across the clearing. Abhaya slowly padded across the grass, feeling the grass she touched it with her feet grow and tickle her knees.

Plants flourished and grew as she passed them, she had no control over her powers at that moment and for once she didn't care. As soon as her feet touched the stone, clear quartz crystals grew up from the stone around her feet and glimmered in the mid afternoon sun. "That's new," Abhaya said with a puzzled smile.

She instantly wondered what she could do with the other elements. A grin spread across Abhaya's lips and she began to experiment.

"So what kind of magic does Abhaya-san use?" Keiko said, watching Elias help Yukina cook.

Elias turned to look at Keiko and Botan who were snacking on rice crackers and tea on the island. He sat down the knife he was using to chop green onions for miso soup and sighed. "She's an elemental mage so she can use any element around her. Her specialty however is in crafting items. Her work is beautiful and powerful, just look at her sword for instance."

Keiko smiled and nodded. "I would like to see her use magic. It sounds so interesting! Where is her sword?"

Botan spoke up, a rice cracker dangling from her lips. "I think Hiei has it right now."

"Master Genkai requested that Mr. Hiei keep it with him while Lord Koenma was here," Yukina said over her shoulder.

"Is that because they don't get along?" Keiko said, worry filling her deep brown eyes.

Elias gave a curt nod but then sighed once more. "They don't just not get along. They loathe one another."

"Why? Lord Koenma is a good person," Keiko said.

Elias's shoulders drooped and he closed his eyes. "Koenma tried to take Abhaya's father's sword from her. She treasures that bloody thing; even mounted it above the shrine in our room. He accused her of not being able to protect it and tried to take it by force. He couldn't get past her barrier though. I don't think anyone could."

Baidheil slept soundly in Botan's lap and she found herself stroking the dragon's belly gingerly. "Why would Lord Koenma want his sword though?" She said, her brow furrowing together.

"That sword is Tacharan; the changeling sword."

Botan's eye brows shot up and her jaw dropped. "So he really did finish all five of the elemental swords? Even the changeling sword? I can't believe it."

"Changeling sword?" Keiko inquired.

"The changeling sword is supposed to give the power of the gods to the bearer. It is said that it can even bring people back from the dead," Botan said, her eyes wide with fear.

Elias scoffed. "That is hogwash, absolute bloody hogwash. Abhaya told me that it was dangerous for humans or demons to even attempt to bring someone back from the dead. She said that it doesn't bring back the soul that was gone but merely a new soul. You don't know what the hell you're getting if you try to bring someone back from the dead but most likely it will be dark."

"So what does the sword do then?" Yukina said, turning to look Elias in the eye.

"Abhaya once told me that it could change into whatever form the user wanted it to be and that was all she told me. To be honest, I don't think she ever wanted to figure out what it does; she just protects it."

Abhaya made her way down the mountain, the sky slowly turning yellow as the sun passed over the flourishing trees. A bright smile stretched over her lips and she found herself engrossed in the energy that she could feel around her. Energy surged through her bare feet with every step she took. It swirled around her from the trees and air; making her dizzy with ecstasy. The wind blew her hair around her face gently as she crossed the tree line into the fortress known as Genkai's home. She grinned as she felt Elias's warm energy and stretched her arms over her head. With slumped shoulders she slowly lumbered across the lawn, grass still rising with each step she planted upon it.

"Abhaya," A voice grumbled making Abhaya halt.

Her eyes slowly rose up to meet Genkai's who was standing on the wood floors to a temple room. Abhaya offered a warm smile and gave a small bow. "Good evening, Master Genkai."

Genkai scoffed. "You have had quite the mood change. Reminds me of how your father reacted whenever he turned into an animal."

"So you witnessed Hiei and me arguing?"

"I did, now follow me."

Genkai started to walk on the engawa, the shoji screen doors still open from earlier. Abhaya hopped onto the wood engawa and followed the master who was just a little shorter than she was. "Tell me. Were you trying to make everything around you grow like that?"

Abhaya blushed and shoved her hands into her pockets. "That was me suppressing my energy… so no. I wasn't trying to do that."

Genkai let out a throaty laugh. "What do you plan to do about it?"

"Intense training and trying to burn the access energy out of my system."

Genkai nodded but kept walking, her hands clutching her forearms behind her back. "So, where are we going?" Abhaya said after a long pause.

"When your father stayed with me, where did he work?" Genkai said, smirking at Abhaya over her shoulder.

Abhaya's brow scrunched as she thought, her mind sifted through Genkai's memories of her father. That was when they stopped on the forge that he had built on the edge of her temple. Her eyes grew wide as it donned on her. "The forge he built."

Genkai nodded with a call ounce of pride welling into her eyes. "The gift they left you is there. You may use the forge during your stay as well."

Abhaya nodded, sadness thudding in her chest and making her legs feel heavy. She could see it then, tucked away behind the temple yet it looked so different from any part of the temple. The forge was made with a dark wood and was built like a one room cottage. A large stone chimney jutted out the top on the right side and there were two windows facing out unto the lawn. A rounded door sat in between the two windows and as Abhaya got closer to the door she noticed the carvings in the doorway. Oak leaves were artistically carved into the doorframe and above the doorway sat the archer with the ring of holly at his feet. A full moon and sun was carved into the door as well as protection runes. Abhaya's fingers gently grazed over the carvings only to fall upon the doorknob. She slowly turned it, feeling fear quiver inside her like a taunt bow string.

The forge was small and darkness as well as dust clung to everything in it. Abhaya reluctantly took a step into the room noticing a work bench with a stool underneath it. The forge was to the right of her, facing south. East was the bench and above it sat a row of books and scrolls. Abhaya's eyes looked about the room, taking in every detail of it. Her eyes then landed on a large chest in front of the forge. "That is the gift," Genkai said behind her.

"Have you opened it?" Abhaya murmured, her eyes still entranced by the black chest.

"No. I have no use for it."

Abhaya closed her eyes and nodded, sitting down beside the chest. Her hands gently whipped the dust from the top and then she noticed the enchanted lock on it. She let out a chuckled filled with melancholy and smirked. She cupped the seal in her hands and concentrated. The lock instantly trembled and glowed a golden light into her hands. Her father's energy wrapped around her and Abhaya let out a small choke as tears threatened to spill over her burning cheeks. Abhaya then sang.

"Ladies spin your circle bright, weave your web of dark and light, Earth, Air, Fire and Water bind us as one…"

Abhaya kept singing, her energy swirling around her and mixing with her fathers. A snap stopped her chanting and the lock fell heavy into her hands. Genkai scoffed from the doorway. "You can even defuse his seals; you're quite talented kid. I'll give you that."

"I suppose so…"

Abhaya slowly opened the chest, her eyes wide as she lifted a piece of parchment from the chest. Abhaya couldn't see any further than the letter because a plum colored cloth was laid upon the objects.

On the letter 'Patach de sian' was written in her father's handwriting. Genkai leaned over Abhaya's shoulder with a raised eyebrow. "Child of the elements; god he was horrible with terms of endearment."

Abhaya grinned, tears welling in her eyes. "Seadh."

Her fingers trembled as she worked the letter open, she paused before she started reading however. With a deep breath she read her father's crisp and precise handwriting.

'Abhaya,

I know that by the time you read this you will have grown into a woman. Your mother had a premonition five nights ago, giving us insight in our futures as well as yours. I cannot tell you everything however, I wish to say one thing. We do not blame you for what happened. Regardless of who did it; we were meant to die that night. It was a fixed point in time and no one could have stopped it. We know about your son Elias as well. Him and Baidheil are such good creatures as well as the others around you. Look to them for help and trust them; they will not let you down, Abhaya. Beware the other mages however, there will be some who can help you and others who are hell bent on hurting you. Trust none of them and trust Genkai and the others. I know you do not care for Koenma but he means well. Cut him some slack sometimes. When your energy starts to peak there will be changes in your body. It will start to crave a mate and I can already tell what you are going to say but don't be closed off to the idea completely. He will come when you least expect it. Your mother was so happy to see that you have utilized her healing ways. I am proud because you can use even my most advanced spells and incantations and that you took on both our crafts. I wish you the best in life, my child. Your mother and I love you very much.'

Abhaya reread the last sentence twenty more times, tears sliding down her face and muddling her vision until the colors around her swirled into a kaleidoscope of black and white. They fell upon the letter with heavy patters. She sat the letter back down into the chest and pressed her palms to her eyes, whipping away the tears that were now flowing freely. Abhaya hadn't realized that Genkai had left her until she turned around. Not a soul was around and she was forever grateful as she looked around the room. Her eyes travelled back down to the chest and she sighed. "I really should look inside…" Abhaya said aloud.

She knelt back down on the wood floors, crossing her legs over one another and lifted the purple sheet.

Hello, hello, hello! Sorry I ended it there but this is over twenty pages and I have anatomy homework (Shoot me now). If you liked this chapter, tell me about it. If it sucked, tell me about it.
