Hi there, this is VERY short, I know, but I wanted to post something and I have minimal time…so here's the result…hopefully within the next couple of days I'll organized my time better and get more out.
Chapter 7: The Darkness Below
She sat on the edge of the well, and stared, unseeing, into it's black depths. The world around her grew darker as the sun slipped beneath the horizon. Shadows of trees played across the floor. The Well House protected her from the cool evening breeze, and added to her lonely melancholy.
Her mother was dead, her father hated her, the only people who treated her as family were not blood relation…and the only one who was she was forbidden to see. Fate was cruel.
"She chose her fate…to save you…she sacrificed her life"
Grandmother believed Kagome chose her fate, so if fate could be chosen…maybe Katin to chose a fate of her own, maybe there was something she could do to alter the path she was on.
If father wishes I had died instead of Mama, then I must make him see other wise! I can be good, I can be useful…and I can stop asking questions…I know the answers now any way…I know all I need to know…
Katin took a deep breath and slipped into the darkness below. Taking a step towards maturity and a leap of faith…faith in her ability to convince her father she was worthy of his affections, faith that she was every bit as worthy as her mother had been. She would prove to him that her mother's death had not been in vane, that she could, and would, fulfill a fate greater than he believed of her.
Thanks for reading!
