Karana Belle: okay another chapter!

Reviewers:

Captain Spam--I'll give you more flashbacks, but probably not in this chapter... I might put something in at the end... I'll think about it while I write this chapter. ^^

Lily (Lena) Evans—she isn't perfect, because first of all her parents died and I'm going to make her have nightmares about it sometime. And something else that happened to her, which I can't tell you or that would be ruining it! Then all the maids despise her very much! Sorry but if I write a romance I like to have both of the people in it. SORRY PMS GETS TO ME! DIDN'T MEAN TO BE MEAN! FORGET WHAT I WROTE HERE! IT IS NOT TRUE ANYMORE!!!!!

Unexpected Change of Heart

Chapter 4

The three friends walked past Tony on their way to the clothes lines (they had already washed the clothing), who was talking to his tomatoes. All three of the girls rolled their eyes.

They hung up the clothing on the lines. Talking all the while. When they were done the stood in a group for a little bit more.

"I think I'm going to go talk to the new guards." Kathleen said and Meagwin nodded in agreement.

"Well I'm going to go to the pond and my favorite tree. Bye." Ailie followed her word and started walking away. She forgot to walk another way because going the way she was going went by Joe.

Joe saw her and smiled "Ailie! How good to see you!"

'Oh no! Run for it!' Ailie listened to her thoughts and ran tripping but then picking herself up fast. Joe was left confused at his post. Getting nearer to the pond and tree she saw the little kids playing with boats, and a man in black lying under the tree.

Ailie was going to tell him off but then she saw him jerk and saw sweat on his brow. She felt compassion and went to see if he was okay.

Stopping right in front of him, Ailie asked, "Are you alright?"

(***********)

Yuber looked up and saw a face of a young woman. "What?" he croaked, his throat dry.

"I said 'are you alright?'" the woman sat down on the grass beside him.

Yuber didn't say anything; he just kept sitting there.

"Hello? Are you there? Well since you aren't going to answer my question I'll introduce myself. My name is Ailie. What's yours?"

"Yuber." He said back with no expression on his face what so ever. He stared at her in horror, his vision turning black...

* Flashback *

Yuber could hear a high-pitched scream of a little boy. He had been
here for 4 years but still the screaming frightened him.
Yuber hurriedly got up and ran out of his room, running towards the
screams. He shoved open the door where they were coming from.
He saw one of the overseers beating a little boy with a whip. "Stop!"
Yuber yelled out, but he should have thought about what he was doing. The
overseer grabbed another whip; one with spikes all over it. Yuber was
roughly shoved and his shirt torn off. There was a crack and a loud
scream, but it wasn't coming from the little boy any more; it was coming
from Yuber. Blood was pouring from the cuts on his back.
Yuber looked up and saw the little boy staring with tears pouring down
his small face; a frightened look in those small round eyes.
After what seemed like hours Yuber was shoved to the ground. He could
feel the pain from the thousands of cuts on his back. He never saw the
little boy mouth 'thank you.'

* End of Flashback *

Yuber came back into focus still feeling the pain from long ago. He
saw again the face of Ailie, whose eyes were wide.

"I'm taking you to doctor Huan." Yuber felt Ailie heave him up and
begin to drag him away. He didn't know where they were going because he
blacked out again...

Karana: there I did another flashback of Yuber's Childhood in the
Killer's Guild. Review!
