Blood Ties Chapter 2

It was cold, and raining as a young girl walked the streets. Her tank top and shorts were now completely soaked and they looked like a second skin. Her brown/black, hair was no longer confined in her usual braid, but plastered to her face and back. Cars drove by, splashing more water on her, but she paid no attention to it. She was cold, hungry, scared, lost and wanted to go home, but she knew it was useless. Her home was far away and she couldn't find her way there. She woke up some place she never been to before, and all she could remember was fighting Dylan, Lair lying on the ground, hurt and unconscious, and a bright white light. At Dylan's name, rage boiled deep insider her. It's because of him that she was fatherless, Lair badly hurt, possibly dead, and wondering around the city, lost, for days. A pair of headlights fell on her and she heard a car stopping behind her. She turned around to find her Uncle Sage getting out of the car and walking toward her. Tears of relief flowed down her face as she threw herself into Sage's arms. "Uncle Sage," she whispered, "I was so scared." She then promptly fainted in his arms. Sage looked down at the girl in his arms, shocked that she literally threw herself into him. What shocked him more was her calling him "Uncle Sage". He just saw a girl walking in the rain, looking lost, and judging by her clothes not really noticing that it was raining. And here she just throws herself at him. She looked about his age, with what looked like black hair. It was too dark to make out her eyes, besides she had them closed. He couldn't leave her here, so he picked her up and put her in the passenger seat. He felt her forehead and knew she had fever. He got in the other side and drove off to Mia's. She needed his help and fast.

Alithiel's cheap border ^

Tiger blue eyes, opened, as sunlight poured through the bedroom window. The owner of the eyes sat up suddenly, knowing she was in the wrong room. This not my room! Thought Delphyne, This is Lair's room. What am I doing in here? As if on cue, the bedroom door opened, to find Sage standing in the doorway. Right away Delphyne remembered what had happened. "Lair! She's hurt! We have to help her!" She said jumping out of bed, and running towards Sage. "Whoa! Hold it!" demanded Sage, grabbing on to her shoulders to keep her from doing anything stupid. "You were out for three days and you are not getting out of that bed until I say so. Now get back in bed and tell me who this Lair person is, so we can help her." "What do you mean 'Who is this Lair person', Uncle Sage? This no time to fool around! Lair is hurt." "What's wrong Sage? Scaring the poor girl already?" said a voice behind Sage. Delphyne looked around Sage to find her father, leaning against the doorframe. She froze in shock and utter disbelief. Her father was alive!? Living? But yet something was wrong. He didn't look like your normal 42 year old, but the same age as her. She glanced at Sage and noticed that he, also, was about her age. She remembered the bright light coming from Dylan, remembered, being lifted onto the ground and landing miles away from home. She then gasped at her conclusion. Could it be true? Could she really have gone back in time? She had to check. She broke from Sage's grasp and ran past Ryo. She could hear them running after her, yelling at her to stop, but she didn't care. She ran down the stairs, and out the front door, knocking down Cye and Kento in the process. Cye looked to Kento, who shrugged, and then out the front door. They both got up and ran after Sage and Ryo. She ran for the path to the lake, not slowing down for a second. She had to see if it was true, true that she really went back in time. She was coming upon the place where she fought Dylan, screaming Lair's name, but receiving no answer. She stopped so suddenly that all 4 Ronins almost ran into her. She was breathing hard, but not caring as she looked around the narrow path. There was no sign to say there was a battle here. No broken branches, no burnt trees. no Lair.nothing. "No," she whispered, falling to her knees. She could not believe this, not at all. How could her uncles fight without her? They were not as young and fast as they used to be. They would die instantly. And it would be her fault because she was stuck in the past, with no way out.

Arlyssa~ Gomen!!!! I know it's short, but if you had to work from 3:30pm to 2:00 am everyday, except Fridays, then you would not write as much. I promise that the next chapter will be longer and I'll also get back to what happened to Lair, as I know you are ALL dieing to know what happened to her.

Duo~ This is all you can come up with?

Arlyssa~ Oro! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be helping Alithiel write her Gundam Wing story?

Duo~ Yeah, but she said to come over here and read the Ronin Warrior fic. So I did. Did you really turn her into a Newt?

Arlyssa~ Duo shut-up and go away. You're not even part of this anime! Go now! Go help Alithiel! She needs you more than me. And yes I really did turn her into a newt, but she got better.

Duo~ Cool! *And goes back to helping Alithiel*

Arlyssa~ He'll never change!

Ryo~ I'll say! And why am I dead in the future?

Arlyssa~ That, my dear Ryo, is something a author never reveals until the end. Besides, it adds great conflict when Delphyne is in the past.

Ryo~ Ok, I'll take your word for it
