Chapter 1: Alone Again

She woke up at the hospital, heavy eyelids opening to see the small light from the hallway.

''Ah, I see you've awaken Lilith, mind if I ask, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU GO TO THAT RACE!'' The doctor quickly shouted at her, gently punching her head in an act of fraternity.

''Oh please Ibani, we only live once right? Why not enjoy life to it's fullest? Has long as these good old legs work, no matter how badly, I'll keep on running, so no matter how much you might scold me, I'm not going to quit running.''

''Lilith...you haven't changed one bit since the day it all began or have you?''

''Nop, and you know it Ib.''

''I told you not to call me Ib, Lili.''

''And I think I've told you not to call me Lili either Ib.'' They looked at each other with a caring expression before they both burst into laughing.

''Kiddo, I'm going to miss you.''

''Mhmm? You going somewhere Ib?''

''Yes...I'm...hum...being transferred to an hospital in England, they pay me better and all, I just, I need this job, and I don't know when an opportunity like this would rise again, I'm sorry for not telling you any sooner or anything I really like you, if I could I'd take you with me. I don't want you to be alone again, not after what happened...''

Lilith looked at him, shocked and sad, yet she bit back the tears and cheerfully replied.

''It's okay Ib, you're enjoy life to it's fullest, just, enjoy it will you? I'm going to be okay. I'll never, ever be alone again, because you'll always be with me, in my heart, and so will they, 'kay? Now give me a good old smile.'' She said, giving him a soft and gentle smile, she lied she wouldn't be okay, he was there when she was left orphan, at the age of 5 she had seen her parents get murdered in front of her eyes, their loyal dog lunged at the murderers to protect her, yet he too was killed, with a bullet through his skull.

Since that moment, she was alone, when the ambulance arrived, she was hiding in her parents closet, her arms wrapped around her frail legs, head to her knees as she fought back her tears, and gently whispered the words her mother had sang to her everyday before she slept ' If everyone cared, and nobody cried if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride, then we'd see the day when nobody died.' It was her mother's favorite song, from Nickelback, and he was the one to find her, when he removed her from the closet, she hadn't resisted, no, to her, life had no appeal left, and his eyes, his faced, looked like they had seen a ghost, he had never seen such a sight, a child, whose eyes were so glazed, so clouded, he knew she had seen it all, and his immediate reaction was to hug the young fragile girl, when he did, she broke, she grabbed his shirt and cried herself to sleep, back then, he was only an intern filling in for someone who had to miss that day of work. He took care of her for the first few days before she could be taken to the orphanage, and once she was there, nobody wanted to even look at her, she would be seen sitting in a fetus like position in a dark corner.

He visited her regularly, yet she wouldn't dare look at anyone at the time, she was too caught up in her own pain, it pained him, too see such a young child, robbed of her innocence, he wanted her to run around the parks laughing and scraping her knees, something inside told him to take care of her, so he took her in, and little by little, she opened up, and she proved to have a great passion for running, she ran after everything and anything he loved seeing her like that however, it all changed, on the day he met her his current wife, she had taking a dislike for Lilith, she was jealous of a child, and so, he took her back to the orphanage, and he hadn't expected to ever see her again.

That was until it began to happen, her legs lost it's strength anytime, anywhere, without warning, she would just randomly fall to the ground and not be able to move her legs for hours, sometimes even the whole day, when she first arrived at the hospital in such a manner, little over 2 years after he left her, he knew he couldn't face her, but with no choice he came into the room, and her young eyes shimmered with hope, at first he was afraid that she were to be mad at him but instead she simply hugged him. A few months later she came back to the hospital this time it was because of an horrible pain in her lower back, more specifically her spine and uterus, they took exams after exams and nothing seemed to be wrong, and no anesthesia or morphine could make the pain stop or ease, it would just come and go and, that scared him. They both grew closer to each other at the hospital, having a father-daughter like relationship.

When she reached the age of 15 she ran away from the orphanage, and found a job delivering news papers and cleaning a grocery store, she used that cash to move into her own apartment, and she's been taking care of herself ever since. Working day and night to maintain her house, going to school to grow in knowledge and still have time to run. It amazed him how someone was able to manage that with her health problem and a solution still needed to be found for it.

''Hey Lilith, don't cry.''

''W-what, I'm not crying.'' She retorted, slowly touching her cheeks with her palms, only to, indeed, find tears cascading down her skin. ''Damn it.''

''H-hey, it's okay Lilith, it's more that alright to cry baby girl. And promise me something, be careful when you run?''

''I can't promise that!''

''Figures, well I have to go, and since you've fully recovered, you're free to go home, oh and lastly, your award his at your flat, I took it there and left it in the living room.''

''Okay, thanks, oh and Ib, good luck with your new job, this is goodbye I guess.''

''Yeah...you're not coming to the airport?''

''No, I don't want to cause you problems with Carol.''

''I'll truly miss you Lilith, good luck with your running, I have a patient waiting so, goodbye.''

When she left the hospital, she wasn't expecting to feel so empty, then she thought back to her good old childhood friend, she would certainly help her get through this, well, that is, if she ever gets over all those weird sickness's, Kagome had sure grown up to have a bad immune system she thought to her self, chuckling and lightening the mood a bit. Yet she couldn't help but feel saddened, 'Maybe I'll adopt a dog to have some company.' And as soon as that thought crossed her mind, she heard a small whimper to her side, when she looked to her right, there it was, a small pup laying on the busy street, with a bloody leg, barely able to move, and something within her clicked when a car came into her sight, it was directed towards the small pup that laid helplessly on the street, he would be crushed under it's tire, she had no time to react consciously before her body was halfway across the street, standing in front on the car and picking up the frail dog, she tried to run away from the car yet, she was to late, it hit her hard, sending her flying 3 meters ahead and the dog she had tried to rescue, flew out of her grasp, only to end having it's head crushed by a truck coming from the opposite road, it's small innocent eyes rolled on the ground as it gave out one last ear piercing scream, it's brains scattered all around the floor and his little tail still wagging due to the sudden death. She witnessed it all, she slowly slipped away, her head bloodied and her waist and legs resting on a pool of her crimson liquid.

She heard people screaming and an ambulance's siren in the distance before she finally closed her eyes, finally losing consciousness, yet somewhere along the slipping away and being awake, she swore she heard somebody say thank you. Whom it was she did not know, and perhaps it had only been her mind playing tricks on her due to the loss of blood, either way, she could not think about it anymore, as she found herself to be in a deep, deep sleep.
