IM SO MAD. I TYPED UP A LONG CHAPTER FOR THIS AND MY COMPUTER SHUT DOWN.

2nd try.

Sting's Pov

I woke up and looked around. THe sun was shining through the trees oh-so- wonderfully right in my face.

I looked around and saw her curled up against a tree. 'She had a rough life huh' I thought sorrowfully.

I stood up and walked over to the girl. I was immediately captivated by her beauty. Her silvery blonde hair that was long and flowing. Her white dress that billowed out from her like a fan. Her thin frame looked so delicate as it was curled up in a ball of sorts. Her creamy pale skin was perfect in every way. But what then caught me was her scarred feet. They looked as if she walked through blades. All I could think about was how painful they looked, how angry the scars were, how rough they felt as I caressed them. 'What did you do?' I asked her in my mind. I was stirred from my thoughts as I heard soft whimpering coming from her sleeping form." No. . ." she whispered. She curled up into a tighter ball. "Why are you doing this?" She murmured frantically. "Stop!" She said. Her voice at normal speaking level now. Rogue was awoken from his sleep by this and I ushered him over to look. My worries clearly etched into my face." Mamma. No. Do not take her from me." she huffed. Her fingers clutching into fists at her sides. She was shaking uncontrollably.

"Nooo!" she screamed in her sleep. Her fingers digging into her palms. Blood started seeping out. 'No. Stop. You're hurting yourself' I said to myself. I felt my breath growing frantic. It took so much self control to not run to her side. I saw Rogue in the same position as me.

She shook even more if that was possible. Squeezing her eyes tightly. She screamed.

Snap

Every ounce of self control I had went flying out the window. I rushed to her side as Rogue did the same. Taking her into my arms as Rogue stroked her hair.

"Blood." she whispered as she jolted awake. I watched her shiver in fear as we held her tighter.

" I didn't mean to. . . did I do that?" she asked herself.

'What did you do?'

Completely detached from the world at this point. Her eyes were red again. She wrapped her arms around herself. The instant she did she shakily removed one hand from her shoulder.

"Blood." she said. Her eyes wide.

'What about it?' I thought as I stared at her.

"It is here too. " she murmured as she was frozen in shock.

"I'm a monster." she said quietly.

'You are not a-'

"YOU ARE NOT A MONSTER" Rogue yelled. Interrupting my thoughts. Tears were flowing out of his eyes. 'Rogue never cries'

" You are a human being." He said as he shook. and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

"You are a person. With feelings. We all make mistakes. That will never change. You can't call yourself what you are not." He shuddered as he talked.

" You are our friend."He said. Mr. Stotic-as-hell Rogue Cheney is weeping for another girl.

"Friend. . ." she said. It was as if the term was alien to her.

"That's right. Our friend." I said as I smiled. Tears falling out of my eyes too.

"O. . . .O-okay." she said as she accepted it.

We sat there in silence for a couple minutes.

"So what is our new friend's name, pray tell?" I asked.

"L-Lucille. Lucille Heartfilia"

Yayyyyyyy. New friends!
