Chapter 3
Kitana laid in her bed, tomorrow was the last day of the tournament. She had to fight Kotal and Raiden. If she beats Raiden she would fight Cetrion. Kitana was trying to figure out what she would do to beat Raiden, but eventually she fell asleep.
…
Kitana was walking through a desert, it was hard to walk through the sand with her high heel boots. She looked around and suddenly she saw someone.
She ran over to them, to ask for help, she didn't have a clue where she was, and her vision was blurry, because she had to get sand out of her eyes a few times.
"Hey! I need help!" Kitana called, her heels were sinking in the sand, so she ran as quickly as she could. "Please!" Then she saw who it was. "Mom?" Kitana asked, confused.
"Kitana" Sindel said in a relieved tone. She opened up her arms in a welcoming manner. Kitana ran to her, Sindel hugged her daughter.
"How are you back?" Kitana asked, looking up at Sindel.
"I never went anywhere, Kitana."
"You killed yourself,"
"No, I didn't." Sindel said calmly.
"Who killed you?"
"I never died Kitana." She stood there confused.
"Where did you go? Why didn't you come back? I've needed you." Kitana cried. Sindel wiped a tear off of Kitana's face.
"Because I had to protect you,"
…
There was a loud bang, and she jumped. She looked at her alarm clock, it was 2:00am. She sighed, this was going to be a long night.
…
Mileena was up, and took a sip of her wine. She looked out the window. Her stomach growled, she sighed, and took out a raw steak from her freezer and put it on a plate to thaw out.
She sat back down with her wine, and twirled the glass for a minute, and threw the bottle away, when she realised it was empty.
She sat down on her couch, and turned on the original pet cemetery, and ate the steak during the movie.
After the movie someone knocked on the door. She opened it to find Baraka standing there with a female tarkatan by his side.
"Who is that?" Mileena asked,
"She serves me," Baraka said.
"Come in," After a while of talking about the tournament Baraka left,
Kitana entered her mind again, and Mileena couldn't shake her out of her mind. She knew she didn't have a chance with her, but still, her mind always wandered over to her.
The next day,
Kitana was thinking about her dream, she was sitting at a table, and drinking a beer, before the match. She liked to loosen up before games.
Baraka came and sat by her. "Are you okay?" Baraka asked, concerned. Snapping her back to reality.
"Yeah, I just had a dream about Sindel." She said Kitana sighed, Kitana's fight against Kotal Kahn was going to begin soon. "I'll see you later," She said as she got up to go get ready. Her costume designer came up and gave her a new pair of fans. Instead of midnight blue they were Royal Blue.
She was having a hard time wrapping her head around her dream, and it almost cost her the fight. Luckily she had an opening. So she closed her fans, and dug them deep into his chest, and stomped on them.
"Kitana wins!" They announced on the loudspeaker.
She exited the arena and sat back down. She didn't know what she would do to try and win the tournament. She's never been this close to winning. Her next and last opponent was Raiden.
She was training a lot the past week, more and harder than she's ever trained. She was devoted to this tournament, but she didn't know why.
Kitana saw Mileena staring at her in the corner of her eye. She felt kind of attracted to her, she always thought Mileena was hot, despite her mouth.
Kitana decided to take a break, Mileena and Baraka started talking to each other. Mileena looked at her, then back at Baraka.
That night
"Mom!" Kitana yelled, as she chased her. "Mom!" Sindel moved through trees in a jungle. Kitana was struggling to keep up. She cut vines with her blades. And jumped over some moss looking stuff.
Until they eventually ended in a desert. She stopped at their old home. Kitana took a deep breath, and went into the large house.
It was covered in dirt, and dust. She found some of their old things, under a pile of sheets.
Their home was old, and broken, the floor was all cracked, and the walls had some holes in them.
…
There was a loud bang, and Kirana woke up with a gasp.
A few days later
Now it was time for the meet and greet part of the week. Baraka, Kitana, and Mileena were at a table talking. They were preparing themselves for pandemonium.
They announced that they were going to open the doors.
"Well happy Hunger Games," Baraka said.
"And may the odds be ever in your favor," Kitana finished.
They all went to their posts, and the people flooded the room within seconds. Mileena's line was pretty full. Little more than last year.
And Kitana was standing at the very front, she actually won. Cetrion and Raiden's sections were next to hers'
Her line was really long this year.
That night
Baraka and Kitana were talking at her house.
"I know this is crazy, but I think that Sindel is still alive." Kitana said.
"You're right," he paused, she looked up. "You are crazy." she rolled her eyes.
"Fuck you,"
"Hey, I'm just noting the facts, she killed herself years ago, and you know that."
"I know, asshole. I just had a dream last night."
"Yeah but we all have those, not uncommon, Kitana." she rolled her eyes. "I'm pretty sure you have had dreams about killing Kotal-"
"Not the point,"
"But you haven't actually killed him,"
"I know that, can't you just listen to me?"
"Fine, I'll listen,"
"Good, she visited me in a dream last night, but it felt so real. She said that she wasn't dead."
"What's so real about it?"
"Again, I think I'm crazy, because I can still remember the feel of the vines, and the sand in my eyes. My vision was a bit blurry, and my eyes were scratchy when I woke up. I don't know."
"I don't know what to say to you, Kitana. She's dead, I know how much you wish she were alive, but you can't change the past."
A/N: I am so so sorry for how long this took to update. I will try to update it more often, my writers block was really bad, and I started giving up and going to other fanfics. But I promise that I'll update it more frequently.
I hope you all still enjoy the story.
