lilPinkBlackBunny531– I have to say you are like my favourite reviewer :) haha! Thank you Kayla ^_^ x

Please R+R. It doesn't take long for you all to write a few words saying what you think of my story so far so please at least try to review.

I was dreaming, not the type with Gene in but I was stuck in my own nightmare. I woke with a start and a gasp of fear. I clutched at my heart through my pyjama top. I was covered in sweat and I had tears sliding down my cheeks.

I shook my head trying to get rid of the few images I could remember. It was a start, at least I remembered a few things. Although none of them were good I was relieved that I hadn't dreamt about violet eyes.

I glanced around the dark room searching for something that would tell me the time.

A clock clanged softly to my right and I squinted at it.

5.25am

I sighed and knowing that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep I pushed myself out of the bed.

Not bothering to turn on a light I grabbed clothes from my bag and exited through a door only to stop when I realised that I had walked into a bathroom. I scrunched up my face in confusion then realised that I must have had my own bathroom.

I relaxed even further as the warm water from the shower hit my back and loosened my muscles. Flashes of my dream kept coming to my mind and I closed my eyes with a sigh and lent my head against the shower wall. I was still tired but I didn't want to dream any more.

The shower woke me up a bit and I stepped out carefully wrapping a towel around me. I brushed my teeth before drying myself. When the towel reached my stomach I remembered the bandage that was around my waist and groaned. Madoka had the bag with the clean bandages in.

I dropped the towel on the floor and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked more like a woman then I had three years ago. I had more curves, all in the right places If I may say so myself. My brown hair now fell down to waist. It was now wavy because it was wet. I stared at my eyes the most though. They had changed, not in colour but in the emotions held in them.

Some say that your eyes are the window to your soul, if so then my soul is very sad indeed.

I bit my lip before quickly dressing and set out in search for the bag or Madoka, which ever I could find first.

As I came out of the bathroom I noticed the ticking of the clock and glanced at it before blinking in shock.

It now said 6.10am. Had I really spent so much time in the shower?

Biting my lip whilst deep in thought, I walked out of the bedroom and back down the hallway to the living room.

When I got there I was shocked to see Lin sat reading a book on a chair at a large dining room table.

I hesitantly walked forward and glanced around the room. I was disappointed to see that Madoka wasn't there. I sighed and Lin nearly jumped out of his chair in shock. I held back a giggle as he looked at me with wide eyes.

"Sorry Lin-san, I didn't know anyone was awake" I giggled at him as he straightened himself in the chair.

He smiled back at me "it's ok Mai-san, I couldn't really sleep".

The smile I had on my face slowly fell "no me either" I said softly.

He nodded in understanding and stood up gesturing for me to take a seat next to him. "Sit down and I'll get you a drink of tea. Are you hungry?" I shook my head thinking that if I tried to eat food it would make me sick.

I new it was my mind imagining things but I could still smell the blood from my dream. There was so much blood and the scream of pain was the worst I had ever heard. I didn't know why this dream affected me so much but I new it was the one that had been replaying in my mind night after night.

The one dream that I could never remember.

I sighed again and ran a hand through my wet hair only just realising that I had forgotten to brush it.

Lin came back shortly setting a cup in front of me before taking his seat again. I was still deep in thought about my dreams as I reached for the cup. I looked up when I noticed he was watching me and I smiled "I was actually looking for Madoka".

He cocked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow and I stuttered nervously while blushing "erm … well she has the bag the doctor gave me with the bandages and the medicine in it".

He nodded his head in understanding "she will be out shortly, she was just taking a shower when I left".

I nodded and looked back down at my cup just as Martin Davis walked into the room. Well I say walked but he more or less stumbled sleepily to seat. A corner of Lin's mouth twitched slightly as though he was going to smile but stopped himself in time. He stood up and went to the kitchen again as I turned to Martin.

"Good morning Mr Davis" I tried to sound cheerful.

He yawned loudly and rubbed his eyes whilst looking at me "oh good morning Mai, please call me Martin" he smiled and accepted a cup of what smelt like coffee from Lin. He gulped it down quickly and I watched in shock. Surely that coffee was hot.

I shook my head slightly in awe as he placed the cup down and smiled more awake now then before. I smiled back shyly.

"Now Mai, what are you doing up so early? You should be getting more rest" I turned in my seat to see Madoka and Luella entering the room both showered and dressed.

I rubbed my right eye slightly tired and mumbled "couldn't sleep" before turning around again and taking a sip of tea.

I was sure some kind of silent communication went between the adults of the room while everyone sat quietly around the table drinking from their own cups and every so often glancing at me.

Suddenly I remembered why I had come out here and looked up at Madoka "oh! Erm . . . do you have the bag the Doctor gave you?" she blinked for a few seconds before she realised what I meant and she quickly stood up and rushed from the room. I watched her leave with confusion written on my face.

She came back seconds later with the bag and smiled at me "I'm sorry you're not in pain are you? Oh, I should have realised you would need this".

She placed the bag on the table with a loud Clunk and set about shuffling through it every so often pulling out something. She pulled out a small jar of tablets and I grimaced at them. She placed them in front of me "take two" she ordered and I sighed before picking up the jar up and taking two out.

I placed them on the table in front of me and stared down at them in disgust. Ugh! I seriously hate taking tablets.

I quickly took them with the rest of my tea only choking slightly making tears come to my eyes. Grimacing once more when they were gone I looked up to watch Madoka as she pulled out a few rolls of white bandages, something that looked like it held the bandages together and some cream that I presumed kept the wounds clean.

She placed everything out neatly and motioned for me to lift my top so she could take of the old bandage. I did so with only a little blush making sure the t-shirt hid my bra. It seemed to me like the mark had grown bigger but truthfully this would be the first time I would see it clean.

There were the words 'you are mine' clearly ebbed into my skin. I watched sadly as Madoka cleaned it and started to re-bandage it.

"It's always going to be there. Like a reminder" I didn't know I had spoken the words out loud until Madoka looked up at me sadly.

"I know sweetie and I truly am sorry" she sighed a tied of the bandage before tucking my hair behind my ear and tilting my chin so I was looking up at her "it doesn't really change anything though, you're still you. No matter whether you have this mark or not"

I frowned at her words "but . . . I have changed Madoka"

I pulled down my t-shirt and looked at her as she cleaned up and placed everything back into the bag "I don't feel like me any more, some things wrong with me".

She stopped what she was doing to look at me. Everyone else seemed to have paused in what they were doing to listen as well.

Just as I was about to carry on, Naru walked in fully dressed in his usual black clothes. His black hair looked messier then usual but he still looked good. How infuriating!

I was glad for the interruption. I didn't make eye contact with any one as I tucked my chair under the table and stared down at my cup in thought.

I did feel different.

I didn't know how to explain it though.

I heard talking around me but paid no attention to it. I leaned my elbows on the table and grabbed my head with my hands. I could feel a major headache flaring up.

As the headache got worse I started to shake. I gripped my hair with my hands and hissed in pain.

I heard a something smash and everyone stopped talking, I presumed they were looking at me.

"Mai!"

"Mai . . . Mai"

"Calm down!" I felt a hand grip my shoulder and I stiffened but I felt the headache slowly fade away.

I slowly became aware of my settings and I loosened my hold on my long hair. The hand on my shoulder gripped a bit tighter for a second before it was pulled away and I looked up.

Naru was standing next to me watching me with slightly narrowed concerned eyes. I took a deep breath and looked away. I hadn't noticed before but my breather was faster then normal.

Everyone was watching me in shock and I wondered what the hell I must have done until Naru knelt down next to my chair and grasped my hand. I looked at him in shock as he slowly wiped a tear of my cheek I hadn't realised was there. My left hand instinctively went to my other cheek and I felt that it was wet.

I frowned down at my wet fingers "so many tears, I . . . I never used to cry, not even when my pare . . ." I cut myself off and bit my lip.

Squeezing my eyes shut I shook my head before re-opening them when Martin spoke up "Mai, how long have you been able to do that?"

I looked at him confused "do what?"

They all looked at each other in concern then back at me. I felt Naru squeeze my hand before he stood up and sat in the chair next to me.

I blinked in shock when I noticed my cup was smashed. I pointed at it in confusion "what happened to my cup?"

I cocked my head to the side and stared at it.

"Mai, why were you grasping your head just now?" Madoka asked softly as though she was afraid to make me upset.

I looked at her "well, I felt a sharp pain" when I noticed her eyes narrow in concern I laughed a little "oh don't worry, it was just a little headache." I wiped my eyes with my hands "I feel so tired suddenly" I whispered the last part to myself.

Naru stood up "you can sleep in the car on the way to the case, it takes nine hours to drive there anyway." I nodded and watched as he, Lin and Martin left the living room. They seemed to be in a deep conversation.

I glanced at Madoka then at the cup as I realised something "what happened to the cup Madoka-san".

She sighed heavily and was about to reply when Luella cut her off "Mai you seem to have gotten stronger, when you grabbed your head the cup seemed to levitate then suddenly it shattered." He voice was laced with concern and I felt the blood fall from myself.

I stood up shakily "I need to get ready, we'll be leaving soon." I weakly walked out of the room before either of them could stop me.

I'm thinking of renaming this story. . . does anyone have any good names that you think would suit the story?

I'll be changing it because i dont think the name suits it really, of course the story is about her past and present but not really about her future. So if you have any ideas please tell me!

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
