On to the story:

Chapter 22

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you 're haunting me
I guess I need you baby - Brittany Spears: "Everytime"

I feel so cold...so lost. It's been over an hour since Morrighan left and I still haven't stopped crying. When I was originally sent by the Elders to start my mission on the Maru they warned me about this. As heartless as they are, they warned me this might happen.

flashback

"Trance Gemini. You understand what your mission is, so now we must warn you about the consequences. We have lost many a good watcher because they have gotten involved with their subjects. Remember, these...humans, they are just that. You are to gain their trust, but nothing more. You must stay with them with the knowledge that they could leave you or you leave them at any moment, you must stay detached. Do you understand? They asked and I nodded, promising never to fall into the traps I'd been taught humans could set.

end flashback

I was naive then, just excited to finally be getting off my planet and anticipating my adventures. I never thought humans, let alone, these humans could cause me to sacrifice all. No matter my powers, I was powerless to stop the effects human love would have on me.

I've finally stop crying, my eyes locked on what's in my hands. It was merely a rabbit's foot, a old earth good luck charm, but to me, it was priceless. It was Harper's, all I had left of him, besides my memories and those, no Elder could take from me. I remember the first time I saw his good luck charm.

flashback

Trance bounces into the machine shop. Harper, concentrating on what he's working on, doesn't notice her entrance. Seeing this, Trance sneaks up beside him and he perks up, immediately aware of her presence.

"Harper, what's that," Trance asks as she point to his belt.

Harper looks down and smiles. He detaches the item from his belt. "This, my Sparkling Princess, may look like a mere rabbit's foot, but it's more than that....it's my good luck charm."

"Like what Beka calls me?"

"Yeah, but not so purple or sparkling. Back on earth, luck, even if there was very little of it, was something everyone wished they had more. Some people had little trinkets that they swore had brought them luck in some way or another whether it was with them when they found food or escaped a beating."

Trance steps closer to Harper and asks, "Is that why you have yours?"

Harper looks up, realizing how close Trance has gotten. He takes a deep breath, taking in the sweet smell of lavender and says, stammering, "Y-You could say that...but it's not there so much for luck anymore. It's just a reminder of the good luck I've already had. I had it with me when Beka picked me up and got me off that hellhole and had it on me the first time I met you. So I can say it's definitely done it's job, I'm very lucky to have you....and the others."

Trance smiles at Harper, causing him to smile in return. Trance leans over and kisses Harper on the cheek before skipping out.

Before she skips out the door, she turns around and say, "Well, Harper, I guess that means I have a good luck charm, too."

"What's that, babe?"

"You, Harper...you're my good luck charm," she says with a giggle before skipping the rest of the way out, her tail happily swinging behind her.

End Flashback

I rub my fingers over the fur, a small smile creeping over my lips as I remember the proud look on Harper's face when I'd told him that. That day started the best times of my life. I sigh, realizing I can't stay like this forever. Finally, I decide to get out of the blood stained dress. I can't stand to look at the dark spots anymore, they are just taunting me, giving even more proof that Harper's truly gone.

I strip and change into the clothes Morrighan left. Compared to my warrior dress, this is more like Beka's style: black leather pants, black sleeveless shirt and boots. I look at myself in the mirror. I look like a ghost of my former self. I run a hand over my pale gold face and pause in terror. I start to shake as I look at my blood stained hands. I'd been so focused on the charm. I rush to the sink, turn it on, and start to frantically scrub. Even after the maroon has faded and the golds and browns have returned, I continue to scrub until my hands are raw, small spots of my own blur blood appearing.

I turn the water off. "Oh, Harper! What am I going to do without you? What am I supposed to tell Beka," I ask as I brush a tear from my eye and get ready to start my new life. A life without my powers...without Harper.

I look up in the mirror to see Harper behind me, his dead blue eyes staring at me. I gasp and spin around only to see I am once again alone. Then I hear it. A ghostly voice fills my mind.

"Trance."

"Harper," I say as I frantically look around.

"Trance...help."

I cover my ears. I have to be going insane with grief. I close my eyes, hands over my ears, Harper's voice continues to fill my head, getting louder and louder. My head begins to hurt, without my powers and as weak as I already am, this onslaught is too much.

Suddenly the voices stop and my eyes snap open. I'm alone again. I lower my hands and spin around. I come face to face with Harper, his blue eyes glazed over, his hair a pale white, his face ghostly white. He grabs my shoulders and screams, "TRANCE HELP ME," and my world goes black.
