I woke up to sniggering sound fest the next morning. I opened my eyes to see Stellar, Luna and Meyrin giggling.

"What?" I said

"Cagalli, you have a bite mark on your neck." Stellar said.

I blushed, "What do you guys want,"

"We're here to get you ready for our trip today," Luna said

"What trip," I said

Now here I was in the back corner seat of an SUV, staring out the window. I had been dragged, and changed by Athrun's friend (girl's only) into a comfy cotton top in a super-soft rib knit has birdcage and butterflies logo design on front, a black beaded wide band pant and slides. I was then stuffed into the car and was them told we all were having a day out at the beach.

I looked on the bright side at least my ankle didn't hurt anymore. Two, I'd have a day technically with Athrun. Three, I loved the beach. And four, I still had to think about.

Guess who the driver was. If you guessed Athrun, then you're right. Here let me explain the seating arrangement. Athrun in the driver's seat, them Rey in the passenger, followed by Shinn, Luna and Stellar in the second row of seat, then last but not least Meyrin, Auel and moi.

I looked outside once more, when my cell started vibrating. I picked it up to meet the voice of my friend

"Hey Cagalli,"

"Hi Mir," I said

"We're heading off to the beach with Shi and Yzak, want to come?" She asked

"I'd love to say yes, if I wasn't heading there myself." I said

"Oh that's perfect, we'll meet you there." She said

"Yah sure!" I replied

We hung up and I meet the faces of people wandering who was one the line.

"Mir called up, saying she, Dearka, Shiho, and Yzak are coming to the beach as well." I said

"That's great," I heard Luna say

I slumped down to in my seat. I felt a bit odd right now, something I couldn't exactly explain. I was happy and sad, and I had a bit of concern inside. I couldn't exactly show what was wrong, they'd all worry. So I acted like I was okay for the whole ride.

We arrived in a matter of 15 minutes; the churning in my stomach went form bad to worse. It came out of the car last; as I stepped onto the pavement I saw something Crash, collision, blood splattered everywhere, a cliff and a single rose. I took a deep breath what in the world was that. I held my neck. And turned to see everyone, they were all setting something up, and Athrun was laying the blankets out. I decided to go and get a drink. Opening the trunk and took out a water bottle, drinking it eagerly. I heard my name being called, out and I saw Meyrin holding and tossing me a red bag, and I heard her say "Come on, we're all getting changed,"

Everyone went inside; Athrun was walking towards me, but Shinn abruptly grabbed him saying something like "You can go to her later, because we know how much time you two take."

I went down and reached the bag, and suddenly saw slits on my arms blood was gushing out and maggots were coming out of the holes. I fell back in fright. I looked again, they were gone. I held my knees 'What wrong with me,' I thought.

I grabbed the bag apprehensively, and rushed inside. I was in a separate washroom. I heard everyone else, talking to each other. I walked and opened the duffle bag, and took out my two piece bikini. The top was a piped wrap halter top and a low rise string bottom. There were flip-flops as well. Changing, I felt a bit relived that none of those pictures were coming into my mind. I decided to wash my face. Opening the tap, I looked at the water flowing down in a gentle soundless stream. I put my hand into the water breaking the flow and felt the cold water cooling down my sweaty water. I picked up the water and was about to splash it onto my face, when I saw the water change into the colour of blood, and I dropped it, changing the colour of the tiled floor to ruby. I was filled with apprehension; this was getting to be daunting. I looked at my hand and they were stained with the clear colourless water. This made no sense, or was I becoming delusional. Why was I seeing theses things? What did they mean? I heard Stellar come in.

"Cagalli, What are you doing on the floor?" She asked

"I slipped," I said quickly.

She helped me up and I put my clothes away, and went outside to see everyone waiting. I saw Athrun walk up to me and holding me by the waist and placing me down onto one of the blankets.

I saw everyone follow and sit down to. We talked and I put sun block onto Athrun's back, and then onto myself. Everyone voted on what to do. I saw Athrun look at me with a bit of worry he opened his mouth, until I quickly said "It's nothing, just need to get awake." I smiled and he calmed down a bit. All of the boys decided on playing a bit of volleyball, and the Hawke sisters joined as well. Just Stellar and I were left. I lay down and I heard her spoke up.

"I know something's wrong?" She said

"Not really, I'm just having a stomach ache," I said

"Oh!" She said not really believing it, but I didn't want to bother her.

She sat down and we talked about ourselves and our love life. We had a lot of similarities. Like how she and Shinn meet, was sort of similar to how Athrun and I met. We both had a sad past, and much more, a while later my four friends came and greeted us, I introduced them to everyone, and they see to get along at the moment.

I felt someone hug me from behind and kiss me on the cheek. I relaxed into his arms and leaned onto him.

"Something the matter, and don't say no, I'm not dense." He said mumbling to my ear.

"I…" I started too broken off by Mir.

"Lunch, come one you two," She said. I noticed that it was already 1 in the afternoon.

We walked to them hand in hand and there was turkey and chicken sandwiches, salads, bread, fruit and whole lot more.

I grabbed a sandwich and started munching on it. I finished it rather slowly and drank some lemonade. I ate a couple of strawberries and finished last. I felt a bit pale. I helped Mir and Shi with the clean up.

"Cagalli are you okay, you look and bit pale," Shi asked

"I'm fine just a bit achy in the stomach," I said honestly

"Oh, you want to rest," Mir asked dumping all the plates in the trash

"No its okay, I just want to go to the shore." I said

"We're planning a water fight soon, how about you bring your towel and meet us outside." Shi said evilly

I smiled and went to the room where my duffle bag was. I felt my stomach churning and pumping it food up. I rushed to the toilet and threw up inside all of my lunch. I became scared blood came out as well. This was out of my control I had to get help. I flushed the toilet, and washed my mouth. The acid from my stomach burned my mouth and the taste of blood was there as well. I went weakly outside and looked for Athrun. I saw him in a fight with Auel in the water splashing it all over each other and Luna and Shi. Everyone was splashing water onto everyone. I feel down to my knees. There was an excessively quantity of twinge in my abdomen. I was hit with gruesome picture of the dead women dangling by the wire on their necks I saw at the mansion. I was mortified as each dead body feel one by one on the floor lifeless beheaded and their blood dripping from the wire that held its head. Then I saw a piece of lumber beheading a body inside of a car, crashes and a huge pile up forming. I held my head. I saw images of the laughing man as he slit my throat pulling my intestines out. I cried again. I hate the feeling of limitation I had at the moment. I felt blood trickle down my head. I walked to the bank of water where Athrun was. I saw the scars the man left of my chest reappearing. I remembered when Athrun was talking about the gas that made me saw the ghost. I never did get treated. Was this the after effects? So many thoughts came to my mind. I felt death as if my heart beat stopped. I felt something behind me and I saw that same person. Wasn't he in dead I thought scrambling up and that laugh still following my steps, I ran and collapsed onto the shore-line screaming. The man reached my body and brought his knife out. I saw his eyes for the first time. They had a red 'x' on each, making it impossible to see. His eyes were bleeding the blood travelling down his face smearing it in a stain of streaking terror. I heard everyone screaming my name as he plunged the knife down. My eyes widened and I managed to turn. I heard Athrun kicking the man and Rey and Yzak grabbed his arms pushing him down.

They managed to knock him out and seal him to a post, calling the police, but the man died before they reached. I was paralyzed not believing he came back to kill me. What did I ever do to him? My eyes dilated and I was still in shock. Those pictures came back in full force. I felt blood coming out of my mouth and I couldn't understand why. Was I enclosed in poison? I felt myself throw up onto the sand bringing out the troubles inside me. I breathed hard regaining my senses the pictures disappearing. I felt my heart beat at the moment. I felt my body coming back to its colour. Even though I was physically back, my mind still kept the flashes of horror.

I felt Athrun's embrace on me, he must have been worried sick. He was calling my name, as I was surrounded by my friends. I still felt a bit weak. I laying in Athrun's lap and Stellar was examining the problem I had.

"Blood," I mumbled out

"It's was everywhere," I said again

I felt some people gasp and she looked at me more

"She was suffering form chronic poisoning. It is very slow acting, but when it does its effects it comes out strong and with force. Thankfully her body reacted and threw up, or else she would have been gone right now," She said

I felt Athrun hold me tightly. Stellar continued "I can't really identify the poison. It's pretty rare. It caught by breathing the poisonous gas. You can't move at first, then you go straight back to normal. After a couple of days you receive its full effects. I haven't heard a lot but I know for a fact, that Cagalli must have saw a lot of brutal pictures. It's said they can be flashes of your future too."

I stopped breathing "My future," I said

"Yes, but studies have shown that it is not possible, so don't worry," She said

"I'm hungry," I mumbled

They all smiled knowing I was back to normal. I shivered from the lost of nutrition.

I gobbled the pizza they brought and I told them to go have fun, because I was fine. I even urged Athrun, but boy was he stubborn. I was sitting in his lap, still a bit weak. I could barely lift my legs. I felt the sun's rays hit my face. I really wanted to be in the water. I saw everyone not really in the mood for playing, after my close call. I nudged Athrun, and pointed to the shoreline. He smiled lifting my body. Everyone followed. I was laid on the sand, Athrun and everyone beside us. I splashed my feet in the refreshing feeling of the water. I wobbly stood up and pulled Athrun face first into the water laughing out loud. He came up spitting the salty taste out of the water. He grumpily splashed water towards me, but I moved out of the way so, Yzak could receive the blow. Shiho was laughing and Yzak smirked and threw water onto her face. It became a full blow water fight. I giggled sitting down with the water up to my waist, my legs floating along the water. Everyone else was still overrunning everyone else with water. I smiled, I felt so strong at the moment. I had still not told anyone about my image, which I suspect to be my future. Stellar had said that it was unlikely to happen, and that calmed my thoughts down a lot. I saw Athrun laughing and enjoying himself. He hasn't done that in such a long time. I could feel him happiness vibrating around me.

It was nearing the evening at that time. I was sprayed on by water, by Shinn. I got up and chased him around the water, and managed to get him. I lightly swam back and decided to attack Athrun. Hushing behind him I pushed him forward, but his hand grabbed my arm bringing me down him. He lifted me from underneath and I floated above the water, my arms wrapped around his neck encase, he dropped me. I felt a tide pass us and push us forward, but Athrun stood tall, protecting me. I saw everyone on the shore getting dry, which left us to have a bit of time ourselves. I yelled out to them that Athrun and I were going to spend some more time in the water, at which they replied they were going to stay in the sand. Athrun looked at me with a smirk.

"I just want some time with you, alone time," I said emphasizing the last part.

"Why, can't get enough of me," He said

I kissed him on the chest and snuggled into him, "No, I don't think I can,"

He smiled he swam us towards the rocks where the tide splashed onto the rock spraying us with some water. I went down and dipped in the shallow water. I felt Athrun eyeing me. He came towards me.

"You are okay right," He asked

"Yes, I'm fine. Let's just say I'm still a bit shaken," I said

"I heard Stellar talk about the pictures," He said "You want to share them,"

I stood quiet for a bit. I leaned on a rock. He grabbed me from behind

"It's okay, you don't have too," He said

"You should know," I said

"You can tell me when you're ready," he said nuzzling into my cheek.

I sighed and turned to face his face. His eyes were sparkling and the sun shined through them bringing new life. I was entranced by their admiring colour and his facial features. He looked like one of those Perfect Greek Gods, if only we were back in time, everyone would have worshiped this figure. I looked down to meet his perfectly toned muscles and the colour of swim shorts he was wearing. They were blue half moon water shorts, which perfectly matched his hair. I realized how much of an observing person I was. I felt how hot breath on my face, as he unexepectedly leaned in for a kiss, brushing his soft and delicate lips against mine into a sizzling and enticing kiss. One of which we haven't had for days. I missed his tepid and moist lips against mine. I felt him massage my mouth as I unexpectedly opened it letting him slip his tongue, spreading fire in my mouth. My hands were wrapped around him and pushed my body closer to combine it as one. I felt him brushing his finger tips giving me a tingling sensation. I felt him hard, and I couldn't do anything but smile in the kiss. We broke, and we leaned in for a second, until and hurled down by a huge tide. I came up, splattering the repugnant water out. I looked and felt one of my straps from the back being pulled.

"We're not done yet," He said seductively into my ear.

"Well I am," I said sprinting on a quick swim to the shore, but somebody hadn't had enough off me, as Athrun caught up. Dipping his arms under mine, he caught me, and placing butterfly kisses as over my neck and shoulder making my mouth let out a sigh of contentment. When he fished we headed back to where everyone was doing something.

Shinn and Stellar were enjoying there time together relaxing with Shinn's head on Stellar's lap. Luna and Rey, well Luna was building and sandcastle with Meyrin, and Rey and Auel were holding a bucket of water ready to splash it on there girls. Shi and Mir were talking and Dearka and Yzak were playing one-on-one soccer. I went to grab my towel as my fiancée did the same. I dried myself of the water and went and pushed Auel into Rey so, they'd fall on top of each of their girls, with that water on all four of them. The girls screamed alright. I decided to talk to Stellar. I sat down and heard quiet snoring from Shinn.

"Stellar?" I asked

"Yes," She said

"Mind doing me a favour?" I asked

"Sure," She said and pushing Shinn's head of her lap and helped me bury him under the sand, coating him in a warm thick layer of polish. We giggled, and we went to Mir and Shiho. Shiho gave me a high five and I grabbed a snack, leaving Stellar with them. I grabbed a small salad, and put some dressing on it. I heard a beautiful of a flute playing. Spellbound by it, I quickly finished my food, and went to see who was playing it. I saw someone who I never...
