PART 2

She looked at the sign, half hidden among the overgrown branches, and sighed. Pulling her red hair back into a bun, and hitching up her long skirt, she climbed over the fence, into the city. Back to the place she'd been running from for four years.

She stopped dead in her tracks, a cold sweat sliding over her body and their eyes met for the first time since she ran away. She tried to match the sarcastic smirk of her pursuer, but failed and let her eyes dart along the dark branches of the trees. Everytime she closed her eyes, her old life came back to her, being a loco, Leo, betraying their trust. Being Chasidy, or Chase as she was later known had always worked a lot better, and was a lot easier than being Louise, or Sandy, or Liza, or any other of the aliases she had adopted to protect herself from the locos. From Ebony, the woman who she now found herself face to face with.

She bit her lip, patiently waiting for a guard to take her away, but none came, and as the panicked tears began to cascade down her cheeks she heard the faint sound of footsteps ahead of her.

"Well well well... Chasidy Jones!" Ebony laughed. "Didn't think we'd be seeing you again after your little iaccident/i...!"

Chase looked up. "Ditto."

Ebony smirked a little, before turning around to a dark haired man who had appeared behind her. "MD... We seem to have found an old friend of yours. Isn't that peachy?" She stepped aside, and Leo McDonna's cold, empty eyes stared out right into Chase.

"iLeo/i" She whispered, wiping the tears from her cheeks. "Is that really you?"

MD rubbed his forehead before stating in an underhand tone, "You betrayed me. All of us. I want you dead."

Chase raised her eyebrows. "Then why aren't I?" She sighed. "Don't kid yourself iMD/i you are nothing like Ebony and you still love me don't you?" She smirked a little. "Oh General McDonna still hasn't gotten over the traitor girl has he? bless." She pushed her hair out of her eyes and smiled. The same smile that had made MD fall in love with her all those years ago.

He looked at her, sharp, almost black eyes scanning her teasing face. "I never loved you Chase." he snapped.

"Then why did it hurt so much when I left?" She smiled. Ebony roughly tugged at her shoulder.

"C'mon laughing girl, lets get you ihome/i!"

She shot a final look into MD's eyes before walking away, Ebony at her side, probably to her knowledge, to her death.
