Okay chapter four is up and wow I made so many grammar errors but time will make me a better writer….I hope. So with out any more blab from me here is chapter 5. Enjoy!


I had driven home and showered without even realizing I was doing so, I was completely dazed till my body sent large amounts energy through my veins that warmed my very being. My hands glowed with the power I contained inside myself. I shook my head to try and make the influence inside calm itself just long enough for me to pack my things then I would deal with it. The suit case that was usually up in my closet was already set on my bed….I wonder if I took that down? Packing only the essentials' necessary for my trip and some spare clothes; I tucked away, the pink sapphire heart diamond, necklace in a long black velvet box in my back pack. The packing didn't take very long since I only carried one suit case and a back pack; I set them by my front door while I waited inside for Shadow to come like he said. 'I really hope that Shadow isn't lying about this, for if he is God help me I don't ever see him again, a woman's rage will be the most deadly thing he has ever faced.'

I pulled out my cell and called my dad but to my dismay he didn't pick up, instead I got his voice mail. I left a message telling him about spotting Shadow and getting a chance to see Leah again, then explained how I didn't want Aiden anywhere near Shadow and I wasn't taking him, so I wanted Aiden to stay with him. It was a good thing since dad was going away again; my dad is always disappearing to do work. Or at least that's what he says he's doing, knowing my dad he was probably at the playboy mansion telling girls, "I'm a man with a fierce bite that will leave you wanting more." Gross. Even though he bites I don't think those girls want to become dinner or even a sex slave to my dad. (Now I have to pray again that Edward never picks up any of those bad habits my father has, or even figures out what my father does with an attractive woman). The mental image was giving me a headache and a stomach issue.

It was only noon and I figured Shadow would be here after school hours considering he was probably playing student rather than being a dipstick asshole. I wondered around the house a while killing only a half hour much to my dissatisfaction, it would be hours before school let out and probably longer depending if Shadow had to take a detour. I sighed. What was left to do now? I sat in the living room picking through my list of chores; the couches were a deep sea blue with white plush pillows, there was a small coffee table in the middle of room with three white roses in a vase. The flowers mad the room look lively like a human would live here not a soul that could never pass, I lied upon the couch humming a melody that captured my attention and refused to be shunned unless song aloud. My own lullaby sent my consciousness aside and cradled me to my own personal get away.

"Mommy look!" said a small little girl with short black curly hair. She smiled her hair flying in the wind as she swung back and forth upon the swing. Her laugh made me laugh it was so innocent and care free. She looked about 6 years old and had sparkling green eyes the eyes of her mother and the smile of her father.

"Daddy, look at me I'm going so high! Mommy come and catch me please!" shouted the small girl she was so excited about her trip to the park today with both her parents, she loved the outdoors and spent so much time outside lying on the lawn and day dreaming she was a princess. Her mother raised and walked over to the girl's swing and with arms spread wide; the girl took the opportunity to get more speed and height before launching herself into her mother's arms. They both laughed with enjoyment. A sense of déjà-vu washed over me like I had seen this all before like I was just reliving a moment….but I couldn't remember.

I held the little girl tight, stroking her thin curls smooth while her little arms wrapped around my neck. I felt so alive, like the world had faded away from me and in my bliss of the moment there wasn't a care in the world. His gaze was on me the entire time but it wasn't irritating, it comforted me by the man awaited for me at the base of the tree, arms spread wide, beckoning me to come and embrace him. I paced over towards him and gently feel into his lap. He stared at me adoringly and I felt his love reflect in his eyes. This was my family, and no one would ever change that, this is where I belonged. I closed my eyes trying to feel the moment. But the perfect silence was shattered by an ear piercing scream. I opened my eyes and stared at the little girl in front of me, her curls were messy and blood smeared across her face, there was blood on my hands and upon my face…..it was her blood. I tried to step towards her but she backed away from me, this angered me. She was afraid, when there was nothing to fear. Then he came and grabbed her, with disapproving eyes the eyes that looked betrayed and greatly disappointed. How could he look at me like that, he knew I loved him there should not be a questioning look of my sanity on his face? Nor should it be upon her small features.

My mouth opened to protest and calm there uneasy nerves but my voice wasn't not heard instead there was a screeching growl that summoned the tears to the little girls eyes. What the hell was going on, this isn't me! I closed my eyes again hoping that this was all in my head, that I had never opened my eyes in the first place, that this was all behind my eyes lids. I tried to resurface from my darkness and open my eyes but I couldn't, instead there was an ominous tune playing from the outside, I've heard this song once before, but I don't know where. The hum got louder and my body shivered and the ear piercing screams of terrorized people swam through my head drowning me in despair. I was terrified of what was happening I wanted this to end make it all disappear.

I opened my mouth again and finally my voice broke through at the same time as the hum ended and I was sure that if I opened my eyes I would never get the image out of my head, but as reluctant and stubborn as I was I opened my eyes and sure enough the image haunted me. The grassy fields were desecrated and blood scattered the trees, there were hundreds of bodies pilled across the deaden earth and the little girl and the man were both gone, nowhere to be seen. They left me alone, with no words of comfort or good bye. I reeked of blood but the smell that stood out the most was her blood, lavender and roses, had I hurt her? Where was she now? Had I screwed up and destroyed all that I loved, there were so many dead because of me, I ended their lives, took them from their loved one and hurt my family. I wanted to die, to forget. I wanted a second chance. No more blood.

"I can change it all, make it go away. Save your soul from drowning in misery." Said a smooth; charming voice. I followed the voice till a man stood before me, dark colored hair and piercing red eyes, he wasn't normal, he wasn't human. I panicked and quickly feel to my knees in tears, he watched me and gracefully walked over to me placing his left palm over my bangs and smoothing them down till my eyes were covered. He hummed tune while I cried unsure of my own sanity and who I was.

"You don't have to cry anymore Kagome, let it all out. Forget." His voice faded and my mind went blank, nothing made sense and soon, nothing came to mind.

All I knew was that my name was Kagome. I had no one and loved no one I was born to kill. I accepted all of this as my life, this was who I was.

"Now then Kagome, I am Stealth and you will be doing my dirty work. If you're good at this then you will be rewarded. Come with me, I'll set up your new life." The man stared at me curiously, and then his eyes went wide with excitement. "Oh my, haven't it be luck that I find something that refused to be found. Now girl; you wouldn't happen to be Ms. Jules would you?"

I said nothing, but he took that as a yes. I felt empty like I was more along the lines of a shell missing a soul than a living being. The man looked me up and down as if I were a piece of meat than a person. His eyes looked shifty as if he were debating something with himself.

"It seems that you're of more use than I thought…not to mention very beautiful." Stealth put his hand upon my head again and a flood of memories came back to me some were sketchy and others seemed just as they should be; this process seemed to go on forever and my body began to ache and fall apart. Everything went black from there and all that was left was a huge headache.

"Kagome, I will have you in time but first you must give me what I want. Find yourself and I will be back." The man started his hum once more but this time instead of it calming me it haunted me.

~x~

"Wake up. Where here" said an irritated voice. I opened my eyes letting in the sunlight that raised high above the tree's making the nearby steam sparkle and glitter. The grass was green and there was a think amount of trees in the area. I wasn't able to enjoy the scenery since my mind was still on my dream that seemed so real and yet frightened me to the point where I needed to get away from everything. This was not just a dream; it seemed more like a suppressed memory. But what trigged it, was it the melody that followed me to my slumber. No it couldn't since I always hummed it, was something else.

Shadow must have sensed my wariness and my paranoia since he pulled over into a grassy field of a high school, I mentally made a note that I maybe should attend school as well since no one would buy that I was a mother since I only looked about sixteen seventeen. I looked over at shadow irritated hoping he would buy my façade and leave me to my thoughts and take me to my daughter. Unfortunately I was an open book.

"Kagome….is something the matter you seem anxious?" He said the words his voice thick with concern.

"Umm… It's nothing just can't wait to see her is all." I was anxious to see her but that wasn't really what was harboring my thoughts like an angry tiger ready to pounce at his prey.

"You can tell me anything you know, if it makes you feel better than I am here for you." I gasped lightly to myself feeling that hope thing crawl up at me in waves. I nodded once and kept my gaze out the window as he pulled away from the school and down the road.

It was like a maze of trees that surrounded a small river buy the large sized house. The white house dominated over all the other homes I saw; there was a large drive way and it looked to be like a guest house in the back, but it was so large I would have taken it as a second home built behind the main house. The house was a two story family and had large windows on the second floor one at which faced the lake that would be the one I would have to claim. I loved the water and all of nature, but I also liked the fact that I could go for a swim and not wake anyone I would just simply jump out the window.

"Alright let's get you settled, Leah will be here very soon and I want to have her prepared for all this." I nodded and grabbed one of my two bags and brought it to the front door. I turned to shadow that in returned stared back at me and said 'second floor, second door to my left'. I nodded a headed up the large stair case that dominated the living room that was furnished in white and a faded green, I mentally took note of the glass table, it belong to me and shadow but I guess he took it when he left. I headed to the room shadow instructed to me and started putting away my stuff the room was homey and the colors of the walls a light blue made my mood lift and kept my dreary thoughts at bay. Shadow brought up my other bag and left me to myself to put my things away.

I sighed and stretched, time for a nap I told myself I need to relax before Leah got home. I lied upon the bed curing myself up into a ball. I was about to close my eyes when I heard the front door open again and lightly close behind them. Someone frantically ran into the living room yelling 'daddy, daddy.' I lifted up right completely eyes wide with anxiety again and my lower lip quivered. I listened more eagerly now.

"I got your call. Do you mean it? She's here?" he voice was soft but it didn't sound disappointed but it didn't seem to welcoming.

"Yea she's here, in the guest room upstairs." Shadow paused. "Do you want to see her now?"

"It depends….what is for dinner?" Leah spoke. Did she really just ask what's for dinner instead of answering the question? Damn she was definitely shadows daughter. I shook my head and sighed listening again.

"Where going out for dinner….how about pizza?" shadow said.

"Smooth move dad, yea I want to see her." My heart jumped.

"Okay, Kagome please come down now." Shadow spoke lightly.

I walked to my bed room door eager and willing before I opened the door then I composed myself, as I walked down the large stare case I took a look at my daughter after all these years. I finally found her mom; I said the words to myself.

"Leah…"

Okay sorry for the bad ending but I hadn't figured what to write next so give me reviews and ideas and I'll do my best.
