Far away in a small town named, Arni people talked and argued. Some say that they argued about the demi's staying in the village but others argued about how they should be treated like equals.

The smell of the sea made me sneeze but no one seemed to take notice of it. Was I the only one who realized that we were going nowhere fast with our arguments. If it was just me then why was I looking forward and not backwards in time as everyone else was looking backwards. The natives in Arni just wouldn't let us stay even for the night. Upsetting is all I can say about that.

The sun shone down and all I could think about was whether I was going to have a home anywhere. Marbul was no more so we couldn't really live there.

Termina was out of he question since the Porre Army docked there often and would know we were there straight away.

Shadow Forest was an option but it was full of monsters that would either kill us or poison every single one of my friends and in a strange way, family.

There was also Viper Manor but that was also out of the question because the Porre Army often visited Master Viper.

The Hydra Marshes was a possibility but at the moment it was infested with monsters and poisonous waters.

No matter which way I looked there seemed to be some obstacle to clear before ever making it a home. Would we ever actually have a home? It all depended on where that home would be but for now all we needed was rest.

"Sasha do you know what they'll decide yet about us staying in Arni?" Boswald asked. His eyes sagged tiredly from the long trek from our escaped prison. His chocolate eyes had lost some of it's sparkle due to being cooped up in the camp.

"I don't know Boswald but all I think we can do right now is wait and hope for the best." I said. Boswald nodded and then sat down on the ground while his head bowed. I watched as Boswald fell right asleep where he was sitting. He was tired and maybe more so then anyone else.

When walking from our escaped prison Boswald put on a brave face and fought monster after monster that stood in our way of freedom. Now he was utterly tired and the villagers of Arni weren't helping by being biased.

Sorry this chapter is so short. I have had to think and rethink how to continue the story. Sasha, Boswald, Esmerald and all the rest are certainly not out of the fire yet. They still have the rest of the world's opinion of them to contend with. Will they ever find a home and the peace to be just who they are? Does time change the opinions of people or will another war break out only against little children? All this and more in the next chapter.

Be patient because I find this story now harder to write since I haven't played Chrono Cross in a while. Silly, me! :)

I do have a bunch of other stories that I have started:

To Be a Ringwraith or To Be a Queen : It's about Melkor coming back and one girls wish changing the path of all those around her. She doesn't realize but she is the key to rescuing the world before it is to late. Along the way there are clues that point to it but of course she doesn't listen. There is so much to this story that I couldn't just abandon it to rot on my hard-drive. Lord of the Rings genre! or section!...

Turning the Tables : This is for all those who like or love Final Fantasy Nine. I played the game and loved it. After beating it a few times I decided to write a fitting story. It's about a girl who end up there but is more then she appears. She can wield summons or eiodolons long forgotten over thousands of years. Imagine if Kujo found out about this girl! He would be most certainly after her for her powers and the forgotten summons.

The Day I Became Mew : A story about one girl with a legacy that could change the whole world. She didn't have to make a wish because she was already a part of it. One day she was once human and the next.... she became something all adults thought not real, a mew. Obviously this has to do with Pokemon. :)

If you click on my name you will then be able to see what else I have written. Please do! I'm begging for reviews. I'm on my knees! I'll....I'll kiss your feet or the floor if you prefer. Okay, I know I sound desperate..... please review!
