A/N: Sorry for not updating. I got busy with finals which I probably failed a few but anywayz...
Disclaimer: I do not own anything pertaining to show Code Lyoko. The only character I claim mine throughout the whole story is Xenon.
Dedication: I'd like to dedicate this chapter to...well to be honest, I don't really have anyone to dedicate it to. I'll dedicate this chapter to everyone who has reviewed my story with my newest reviewer being Sprousegirl 12 who pointed out that she has a Code Lyoko story and see made a character named 'Zenon.' I think it really strange how we both have a Code Lyoko fanfic, a character we made up it Xenon/Zenon, and we both have 12 in our screen name. Anwyaz, here's the long waited chapter...
-()-
Where am I? Xenon thought. She looked around; it was completely black. Xenon's heart sank. I'm not a child. There's nothing wrong with darkness... Xenon tried to reassured herself but it didn't. She waved her hands in front of her face, desperate to see it. She pressed her fingers against her eyelids to open them and saw nothing. Nothing but black. Xenon sat or at least she did the movements of sitting. She didn't know if she was sitting or not. She pulled her legs close to her chest and cried.
"I want to leave." Xenon sobbed. "I don't want to be here!" Xenon shouted at the darkness. This wasn't getting her anywhere. Xenon felt a hand on her arm. She stood up and got into attack mode even though she didn't know who it was or could see. A hand was illuminated. Xenon was surprised by being able to see it.
Xenon headed towards it and the hand was at the same distance from her never getting any closer. "Wait! Help me to get out of here!" Xenon ran to get closer, but it still ran away from Xenon. Xenon stopped and so did the hand. Xenon examined the hand and recognized it. It was that of Odd's. "Odd! Odd, help me out!" The hand rubbed up and down on in invisible chin, thinking. It wagged it's index finger at Xenon. Xenon feel to her knees in disbelief. "No?! Why? Odd please! I don't want to be here." Xenon cried.
The hand patted Xenon on the head; Xenon looked up at it. "I'm sorry, Odd! I overreacted. I didn't mean to try and kill myself. If this is death, I want out!" Xenon yelled. "I don't want to be stuck here for an eternity. At least, I don't want to be stuck here without you..." Xenon said softly. She buried her face into her hands a wept.
The hand grabbed one of hers and pulled her along in the darkness. Xenon ran to keep up with it. It led her around twists and turns like through a maze. It stopped when a door of pure white light was a head of her. It illuminated things around her. Xenon could now see herself and saw that she looked normal. She could also see her surroundings. On either side of the door were black, forbidding walls that stretched forever upward; the floor was black tiled held together with black cement. The hand motioned for Xenon to follow it through the door and Xenon did.
''Beep...beep...beep...'' The heart rate monitor that was attached to Xenon. Xenon opened her eyes to narrow slits, the sudden bursting through to light of Earth from the dark, loneliness, empty... Xenon looked around to see where she was. Her left arm was in the sling which was supported by a metal stand that hung over the white sheeted and blanketed hospital bed.
She saw Odd sitting next to her. The sides of her mouth twitched to a smile but became a grimace of pain. Her lips were so chapped that they started to bleed. Xenon looked at Odd and used all her strength to nod at Odd. Odd was sitting on Xenon's right side. Odd placed his left hand on her right. Xenon rolled her hand over and squeezed Odd's hand. A nurse came in and saw Xenon was conscious and ran to her side.
''How are you feeling?'' the nurse asked.
Xenon didn't pay attention. She stared at Odd. ''I love you, Odd.'' Xenon said in the raspy voice a second later she lost consciousness.
-()-
''Odd, you're just going to end up hurting her more.'' said an angry voice.
''I'm not going to do anything--'' Odd's voice said defensively.
''Odd, just leave.'' The voice interrupted. It was Aelita's. ''I want her to see me when she first wakes up since the accident.''
''Aelita, sorry to disappoint you but she's already woken up once but then past out again.''
''That's only because she saw you--'' Aelita began.
''Enough!'' Xenon snapped as she opened her eyes. Aelita and Odd stared at Xenon for a moment, surprised that Xenon was conscious and talking. Then, it registered and they both went on either side of her bed; Odd on the right and Aelita on the left.
''Xenon—'' Aelita and Odd said at the same time.
''Just shut up and leave me alone!'' Xenon hissed at them. Aelita and Odd looked taken back. Odd nodded and took a few steps back. Aelita was confused.
''Xenon, are you alright?''
''Aelita, just leave me alone.'' Xenon said. Aelita looked down at the floor not quite sure on what to do. A nurse walked in and pushed past Odd to get to Xenon. She took Xenon's temperature and sighed at it.
''What's wrong?'' Aelita asked. The nurse glanced at her.
''Please, could you leave?'' The nurse asked politely.
''Why?''
''It's just regulations. To keep the patient clam and have their privacy. So can you please wait outside.'' The nurse explained. Odd automatically headed for the door his thoughts completely on Xenon. Aelita followed and when she got to the door she stared at Xenon for a second and headed out. Aelita leaned on the door with her ear against it.
''What are you doing?'' Odd asked without much enthusiasm.
''Listening to make sure Xenon will be safe in case that nurse is Xana.'' Aelita responded and then gave Odd a look of disgust.
''Aelita I'm going to ask you straight up.'' Odd paused for a second. ''Why are you being a bitch to me?'' Aelita looked at Odd looking taken back.
''What do you mean?"
"You give my dirty looks and overall just being a mean bitch." Odd said bluntly. Aelita sighed and leaned against the door for support.
"Could you look at it from my point of view?" Aelita requested. "I have no family. My mom died more
then fourteen years ago and dad, Franz Hopper, is on Lyoko somewhere still or dead. After what he put Xenon through, she probably won't be over joyous to try to find him. Xenon's the only real connection I have to what I have to a family." Aelita sighed and sat on the floor.
-()-
The nurse took a look at Xenon medical records that were at the foot of her bed and recorded her temperature. The nurse looked at Xenon for a second.
''How do you feel?'' Xenon didn't answer. ''Bad?'' Xenon shook her head. The nurse got closer to Xenon. "Why don't you relax? You tense bitch." The nurse's voice was no longer feminine but the cruel voice of Xana.
"Thanks for the greeting." Xenon responded. Xenon sat up.
"Not at all little sis." Xana gave a false smile. Xenon gave him a stern look.
"You know I'm the oldest and you're the youngest." Xenon corrected him. Xana sighed in his nurse form.
"Whatever--"
"An original answer." Xenon interrupted sarcastically. Xana's eyes narrowed to slits.
"I should you kill you..." Xana said angrily.
"Why not?" Xenon asked with a fake confused look. "But wait that would ruin all your fun toying with me for about a year more would it not?"
"Yes, it would. Now, I'm here to help you get out of the hospital as quickly as possible--"
"To drag me to Lyoko?--"
"So, we can get back to the usual stuff. Me activating towers and you and sis deactivating with all the others getting in the way of our game."
"Sounds like so much fun!" Xenon said sarcastically, clapping her hands a few times.
"Yes." Xana agreed. "Now, let's see what they plan to do with you." Xana said as he scanned down her medical record. "You cut a nerve in your hand but not seriously. They say you'll have to have physical therapy twice a week till you can move your hand again. And...for trying to kill yourself they also assigned you with a therapist three times a week." Xenon groaned at the prospect. "Don't worry, I won't plan to activate any towers during those times." Xana assured her.
"Great." Xenon said, rolling her eyes. "So, why did you come here?"
"I think it would be obvious, I want you to keep up the deal." Xana responded, cupping his hand around Xenon's chin. Xenon jerked her head to make him release her, but it failed. "It's been a long time since I had you."
"You know Odd and Aelita are right outside of the door." Xenon said. "If they heard that, they or at least Odd would freak out about your last statement."
"Oh that's right, you only have an eye out for Odd." Xana said with an evil smile. He got up on the bed and placed either of his nurse's legs on Xenon's waist.
"Um..." Xenon said. She hoped never to have a woman doing this to her in a life. Yet another hope taken away by Xana... Xenon thought. Xana morphed from the nurse to Odd. Xenon's insides jumped and her breath quickened. She felt Odd's bulge. Even through Odd's purple pants, a blanket, and a thin hospital gown; it aroused her. She half thought this was Odd and asking to continue to give her pleasure...then it struck her that this was Xana and he only wanted pain for her. Xenon looked up at Xana. It looked like Odd except for Xana's eye symbol where his pupils should have been. "Xana get off me..." Xenon asked slowly. Did Xana make an exact replica of Odd? This is weird. Odd's never attempted to push his...don't think about it! Xenon thought. Xenon couldn't help it. What does Odd fully look like? He was always wearing pants so...I wonder how big is Odd? A thought interrupted the other. Xenon started to feel hot and bothered. This isn't Odd! This isn't Odd! Control yourself. This isn't Odd-- Xenon gasped as Xana pushed his hips down harder.
"What's a matter?" Xana asked in Odd's voice sounding offended.
"Get off me." Xenon said, blushing. She pushed him with her good arm. Xana, in Odd's form, did a black flip and landed catlike. As he landed on his feet, went into a bow and then turned back into the nurse.
"See you later. Get to Lyoko as quickly as possible and we can get back into the habit again." Xana winked at her and then opened the door and Aelita, who was leaning against the door, feel in. The nurse
chuckled, glanced at Xenon, and strutted down the hallway. Xenon rolled her eyes and Odd and Aelita didn't notice. Odd helped Aelita up and went to Xenon's side.
"Xenon, I'm sorry for all I've done to you." Odd said looking at her. Xenon was stunned that he was saying this. Xenon looked down in thought, but as she did so she looked at the his pants and blushed slightly. If anything, I should apologize to you and everyone. Xenon thought. A little lie about having sex with Sissy hit me hard, but if I were to tell you it's ten times worse. "Xenon, I love you." Odd whispered leaning in closer Xenon. Aelita took the hint and left, closing the door behind her.
"Odd, I lo--" Xenon stopped herself in mid statement and kissed Odd was passion. She used her good hand to run it through his slick, gelled to a point hair. Odd's arms wrapped around Xenon's waist and pulled himself closer to Xenon. I don't know what I feel now. Xenon thought slowly. I have doubt. What if I told him? How would he react? Xenon sighed in her mind. Do I really love Odd? Xenon looked at Odd slowly. Odd was holding her closely kissing her. He loves me but I don't know if I do. I don't know why I'm having sudden doubt in our relationship. Odd loves me and I don't think I love him...Why am I thinking about this? I'm confused... Xenon started crying. Odd felt Xenon's hot tears roll off onto his face and pulled away.
"Xenon, what's a matter?" Odd asked, backing away from Xenon as she cried. It isn't you. Xenon thought. "Xenon?..." Odd whispered placing his hands on her cheeks. He brushed away her tears. You love me, but I don't think I love you. Xenon's heart ached and she pushed Odd's hands away.
"Leave me alone." Xenon whispered her breath ragged.
"Xenon, wha--"
"Get away from me." Xenon said fiercely as her breath quicken in the a mixture of anger and sadness.
"Xenon--" Odd tried to say. Xenon pushed Odd away from her.
"Give me time. Don't talk to me and leave me alone." Xenon said. And I don't love you. Xenon added in her thoughts but Odd didn't hear it. Odd looked at Xenon. "Get away from me!" Xenon yelled hysterically. Xenon raised her hand to slap him but Odd caught it before it hit.
"What's the matter, Xenon?" Odd said quickly before Xenon could interrupt him. Xenon struggled against Odd's hold. Tears still streamed down her face.
(Flashback)
"What's the matter, Xenon?" A voice asked evilly. Xenon was suspended in midair before a dark shadow. She struggled to move and then let out a cry of pain. They were in an obscure location in sector five that Xana made specially for two purposes. One to do experimentations with Xenon. Another, to hold Franz Hopper.
"Let her go Xana!" Franz Hopper shouted. He was restrained on a wall with his hands tied behind his back with rope that had a black aura.
"Oh father, Xenon agreed to this. And I'll make sure she keeps her agreement." The shadow said. The shadow enveloped around Xenon.
"I didn't agree to this." Xenon shouted.
"Well, you're going to do it anyway." The shadow said. The shadow entered her open, screaming mouth and disappeared. Xenon fell limp and feel to the back on her back not moving.
"NO! Xenon, my creation, my daughter!" Franz Hopper yelled in fury. "Xana you just wasted my experiment, I mean my daughter!" Franz Hopper yelled. "She took so long to make..." He whispered. He stared at Xenon's pure whiteness save for the purple sash wrapped around her waist. Xenon got paler and paler. Silence fell over. Xenon jerked up and opened her eyes. Xana's symbol shook in her eyes which were once purple. She advanced to Franz Hopper. "Xana what have you done?!" Franz Hopper shouted recognizing Xana's symbol in Xenon's eyes. "Xenon, wake up. Stop!"
Xenon grabbed his neck and started crushing it with inhuman strength. Stream escaped between Xenon's fingered coming up from Franz Hopper's skin. Franz Hopper screamed and withered in pain against Xenon's touch. Xenon held it and then collapsed. Black smoke came out of Xenon's mouth and formed a person. The person was wearing a black leather jacket with a red shirt underneath. He also wore black combat boots and black pants. His skin was tinted light gray and had dark red hair and eyes. His pupils had were blood red in the shape of his symbol.
"So, this is what it's like to have a body?" Xana asked Xenon who lay crumpled in the ground. Xana flexed his muscles and looked at his body lovingly. He glanced at Xenon and looked at her with hatred.
He walked up to her and grabbed her arm and held her a foot from the ground. Xenon moaned in pain and she looked at Xana. Her eyes widened in shock. "Like my new look?" Xana asked as if he was talking about the weather while Xenon hung there.
"Too much red and black if you ask me." Xenon replied. Xana shook her violently hurting her arm.
"I didn't. Now to keep up this new look, I'll need you. Let's make a deal..."
(End flashback)
Odd shook Xenon's arm, waking her from the past. "Xenon, are you alright? What's gotten into you?" Odd looked concerned for Xenon.
You remind me of Xana. Xenon thought with her heart racing. You hurt me just the same as he has! Xenon jerked her arm away with more strength than would be possible for her.
"Odd, just leave me alone." Xenon pleaded. "I'm fine. I just want to be alone to think."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Odd placed his hand on the top of her head and kissed her forehead.
"I love you, Xenon." He whispered as he backed away.
You're making it harder. Xenon thought as Odd left. Why do I feel like I don't love Odd? Why am I thinking this? What have I felt for five months? Why? Xenon asked herself. Odd doesn't know me one hundred percent...no one does. He doesn't know what I've done; he doesn't know what I do. He doesn't know that I... Xenon sniffed. He doesn't know me and I don't know him. I want to. I want a clean slate. I want to start at the beginning and just forget the past...
-()-
Xana was right. The hospital let her out not long afterward. Xenon found out that after the accident she had been out for a week and after she first saw Odd, three more days. It was two and half weeks since the accident. They let her out on the condition that she follow their schedule. She'd go to her classes each day. Every Tuesday and Thursdays afternoons she had physical therapy at the hospital. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday she'd spend with Doctor Shelly.
"So, what do you see?" Doctor Shelly asked holding up an inkblot. Xenon let out a deep sigh and looked at yet another inkblot. Xenon stared at it for a minute. It was a diamond shaped blot of ink. Xenon's mind pictured it as a Blok, one of Xana's monsters on Lyoko.
"A Blok."
"A block?"
"Yes." Xenon replied.
"I think that's enough for today." Doctor Shelly said, writing a note on her clip board. Xenon sighed in relief. They had been doing inkblots for the past half hour.
"Can I leave?" Xenon asked, hopeful.
"Not yet." Xenon rolled her eyes. Doctor Shelly removed her glasses and stared at Xenon. "This is our third session together and I haven't figured out my original purpose."
"Which would be?"
"I want to know why did you try to kill yourself?" She stared at Xenon as if she were to blink Xenon might answer and she would miss it.
"I'd rather not say." Xenon said avoiding her gaze and dodging the issue.
"Students at school?" Doctor Shelly suggested. Well, there's Sissi. Xenon thought. "Boyfriend issues?" Yeah, my boyfriend Odd slept with the previous named girl. "Anything? I'm here to help you get better."
"It's complicated." Xenon began.
"It doesn't matter. That's what I'm here for." Doctor Shelly said eagerly holding her pen down to take notes. I would have to explain my whole life to you then. Actually before that. Before my birth. Before Franz Hopper got married when he thought of an idea to make a genetically enhanced child. Xenon thought.
"I'm just going to leave actually." Xenon said getting up and walking out of the room. She walked down the hallway and entered the lobby. The secretary glanced at Xenon as she rushed past. Xenon ambled down the street and through the city till she came to Kadic. She went to her dorm room and turned on her laptop. As it loaded quickly, Xenon glanced around her room. Someone had come in and had looked through her room no doubt looking for why Xenon tried to kill herself. The box cutter was missing also the blood that had spilled onto the floor. Xenon tore her eyes away from the scene which probably would be permanently stuck in her mind the rest of her life.
Xenon faced her computer and typed, one handed, the password that would led her to he desktop. She clicked on an invisible file and typed in the password it asked for. She scanned through the one hundred thirty four folders, clicked on the one labeled 'Xana', and typed in its password. The Xana folder had yet even more folders but not as many, only four named, 'Info', 'Past Xana Attacks', 'Monsters and Polymorphic Clones' and 'Contact.'
Xenon pressed on 'Contact' and it didn't ask for a password. The screen turned completely black and then Xana's eye looking symbol shook in blood red.
"Where have you been?" Xana's angry voice came through through her computers speakers.
"Busy." Xenon responded casually.
"Get to Lyoko by tonight your time or I'll come to you." The demonic voice said. As the image of Xana went away, it sounded like a door slamming in your face.
"Well, aren't you bundles of joy?" Xenon said to her screen.
-()-
Xenon kept to Xana's order and headed to the factory around five pm with her laptop. She walked along the courtyard and passed Odd without anything words exchanged. Odd had done what Xenon desired, as did everyone else, on the day she woke up for the second time since she tried to commit suicide, which was to leave her alone and don't talk to her. Odd didn't even look at Xenon sideways. In unnerved Xenon, but she continued on her way to the factory. I know I said I didn't love him, but it bugs me. I think I love him yet I feel like I don't. Xenon thought as she made her way through the city.
Xenon sat in front of the super computer typing in the coordinates in the desert region and setting up that a transport orb would be at the edge of the sector after a minute she was transferred there. Xenon placed her laptop next to to the supercomputer chair. Xenon got in a scanner and was transferred to Lyoko.
Xenon dropped to the ground and ran toward the desert sectors end and snapped her fingers for her disc to come beneath her feet. She glided through the air and landed right as the transport orb come out to take her to sector five. The ground swirled as the transport orb released her. Xenon waited for the wall to open so she could get into the main arenaof sector five. And as it opened, creepers crept toward her as did the scyphozoa. Xenon eye's widen in shock at Xana's welcome party. She held open her hand to make a fireball appear but before she could throw it the scyphozoa wrapped its tentacles around her.
Xenon yelled in her only attempt to get away, but stopped as she realized that the scyphozoa wasn't taking her memory or doing anything at all. It held her till a pitch black, dark shadow came through where it had, stopped in front of her.
"Not going to put on a show for daddy?" Xenon asked as she got up.
"Not today, he's not cooperating." The shadow responded with Xana's evil voice. Xenon sighed and then opened her mouth, Xana entered. Xenon fell to the ground, limp. A minute passed...then two. Xenon's eye snapped open and her back jerked. She stood up as Xana's symbol shook back and forth in her eyes. Xenon grinned evilly and make a fireball and ice appear in separate hands. She flung them at the creepers and they exploded on contact. When the monsters were gone save for the scyphozoa, Xenon dropped to the floor and the shadow came back out her mouth and formed Xana's human shape.
Xana checked his body, looked over at Xenon, and sighed. "Weakling." He muttered as he walked over to her. He tapped the side of her stomach with his boot. "Hey." He said, trying to get her up. "Hey!" He
shouted forcefully. Xenon groaned and sat up. Xana put his left hand in his coat and pulled out a tube made up clear crystal. It had a pure white aura much like Xenon's karate outfit. Xana threw it at Xenon, but she caught it. "As to our agreement. A body for memory."
"I gave you the memory in the first place."
"Which still confuses me. Why give me something that you'll sacrifice parts of your soul for me?" Xana wondered aloud. "It doesn't make sense to me. With some of Aelita's memory in a tube, I can get a body for a month or two."
"It's none of your business." Xenon said, standing up and walking away from Xana toward a transport orb that awaited her in the middle on the room.
"Don't want her to remember anything about from the time you spent together?" Xana suggested as Xenon kept walking. "No need to blame me for the actions which you don't want her to remember."
"Just shut up!" Xenon yelled over her shoulder. Xenon cradled the tube of memory in her hands as the transport orb wrapped itself and took her back to the desert sector. Xenon hopped on her disc, headed to the nearest tower and went inside. She used the screen to searched through the mainframe of the tower. She opened up a file that devirtualized her back to Earth. The scanner opened and Xenon coughed as she fell out...out into someone's arms who carefully supported her mindful of her crippled left arm. Xenon was still holding the tube which looked like it was radioactive except that it was white instead of lime green. Xenon looked up to see who was holding her, it was Odd.
"Are you alright?" Odd asked. He helped her off her knees and supported as she tried to stand.
"Yeah. I still need to go back to Lyoko though." Xenon replied. Why is Odd here? Xenon thought.
"So soon? One trip in a day isn't enough?"
"Nope. I need to go to sector seven."
"What for?" Odd asked curiously.
"Just need to store something there." Xenon hid the tube and took the elevator with Odd to the supercomputer, a floor above. Xenon plugged in her laptop and set up the transfer to sector seven. Odd looked over her shoulder.
"I'm not going?" Odd asked with a fake pout.
"Sorry, I want to you to watch my laptop in case Xana thinks he's going to be funny and try to destroy it." Xenon said as she got up. "Should anything go wrong, type 'Yamu' y-a-m-u."
"Alright." Odd said looking at the computer screen. Xenon took the elevator down, got in a scanner, and was transferred to Lyoko.
-()-
Xenon landed on the grassy plain of sector seven. She ran across towards the massive tower in the hills. I need to get there as soon as possible so I can get rid of the evidence. Xenon thought. Xenon reached the tower and and walked inside.
It didn't have the inside of a normal tower. The room was circular and everything was a blinding, spotless white. The room had no furniture; the room was completely, utterly empty. The only thing it had a ceiling and walls. It didn't seem to bother Xenon. She walked to the middle of the room, fell to her knees, and spread out her arms. Her hands glowed with purple for a second and the room changed. It turned from circular to square and the ceiling disappeared. Once the transformation of the room was completed, Xenon got up and looked around. The room was still it's white color but the shape was different.
Xenon jumped up from the center of the room, but instead of falling she kept continuing upward and the rate she had pushed off from, gaining speed. Several different layers of rooms rushed past as Xenon continued her journey upward; a computer lab, bedroom, bathroom, library, study, storage of strange items, and floor upon floor filled with papers which were stacked perilously on top of one another to the floor above. Xenon continued up and reached the topmost floor. It's floor stretched seemingly forever in all directions except for up and down. It contained rack after rack of tubes identical to the one in her hand. Xenon sighed and placed it on an empty space near herself. She stared around the room and had the urge to just push over one to hear the crystal cracking and breaking but didn't.
She dropped down to ground level. She snapped her fingers on her left hand and the room went back to its circular state. She looked around as if to see if she was forgetting anything, then left the tower.
"Odd?" Xenon asked.
"Yeah?" Odd's voice echoed across the sector.
"Type in yamu. It's easier than the devertualization process." Odd complied and was outside her scanner when she came out. Odd's hand grabbed her left arm accidentally and Xenon flinched in pain.
"Sorry!" Odd moved his arm to suppose her on her right side. Xenon smiled at him and then looked away.
"It alright." Xenon said softly. She looked at Odd. "Odd, I want to start over with a clean slate." Odd stared at her.
"What do you mean?"
"I want to start new, completely new. I don't want to remember anything that happened the past very months. I want to start fresh. I don't want to remember all the lies and deceptions." Odd looking sad and guilty. Xenon noticed. "It wasn't just you. I lie to you. I haven't told you or anyone the whole truth when you asked. I'm a horrible person. I do so many things I shouldn't..." Xenon cried. Odd looked uncomfortable and unsure of what to do.
"It alright." Odd said patting her on the back. Xenon stopped crying and regained her composure. She stared at Odd transfixed by what she saw. She just looked into his deep blue eyes, his pointy and blond hair, and his love for purple. Xenon took a deep breath.
"Hello, I'm Xenon Smith and you are?" Xenon asked holding out her hand.
"Odd Della Robbia." Odd replied shaking her outstretched hand.
"Pleasure." Xenon smiled.

A/N Well, this chapter beats chapter fifteen and now the longest chapter for, "The Past That was Meant to be Forgotten" and actually the longest chapter I've ever written coming in at about 5000 words. What can I say? I couldn't stop writing. :)
This is posted on Christmas Eve and I wish everyone a merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Holidays. No guarantees for chapter 18 to come before the New Year so Happy New Year!
Also, if you could find it in your heart to review, it would be your Christmas present to me. The best present I've gotten so far is when JK Rowling told the title of the 7th and final Harry Potter book which is, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." Review!
