(Jill walks into the room and sees YukinaMizuki asleep)

Jill: …aww, poor Yukina…*whispers* it will now be revealed what or who the obstacle is…well, on with the story, just please don't wake Yukina up… she is really tired…

…CHAPTER 7…

(Claire's POV)

"Hi Daddy!" I exclaimed in the sugary sweet voice I always use when it comes to dad.

"Oh, hello my little angel! Is there anything you need?" he asked me.

"I was just wondering where Jill is… is she in her room?" I asked him.

"Didn't she tell you?" Dad said with a puzzled look.

"Tell me what?" I asked, curious. What could have happened in these 3 weeks I was gone?

"Well, my princess… Jill left 3 weeks ago to follow your footsteps and become a farmer," he explained.

"…oh…" was all I said. Jill is gonna get it when I find her! I can't believe the orphan or my 'sister' left without telling me!

"Why is it that she didn't tell you, why is it that you really want to see her, and why is it when I ask her about you, she looks uncomfortable like her life was on the line?" my father asked with suspicion after seeing me in shock for awhile.

Man, was my father smart! How did he piece all those together so quickly? No, I cannot tell him about anything! If I told him all the bad things that I do, he would be so disappointed in me. And I love my father more than anything.

"No Daddy. She told me, I just forgot she's not here… I miss her so much… and those questions you asked are so intimidating…it makes me sound like I did something wrong…" I said with fake sadness.

Then I saw guilt in my father's eyes for asking those questions.

"I am so sorry for asking those questions cupcake. I know I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions," he said.

"Umm... Dad? I'm gonna go for a walk, ok?" I said, walking out the room.

I walked all the way to the forest, and then I still continued walking until I reached a river. I was sure no one would be able to see me there, so I crouched into a ball and let the tears fall. Sometimes, it's just good to let everything out.

Every time I visit my dad, I would go to the river and just cry. I cried about everything. I cried about the people who talk about the bad things I do, I cried about the time my mother died, I cried about life; or my life in particular.

I guess my life applies to the saying 'There is a reason for everything.' All my actions are because of something that happened before.

Before, when I was about 13 years old, I met a handsome boy. He had a tan, he had a purple bandanna, and he had a flirtatious smile. (Can you guess who he is? I'll give you a small hint if you have no idea: summer and pineapples!...if you still don't know, I'll write the answer at the end of this chapter, but it's pretty obvious. )

When I met him, we fell in love. Or I fell in love. We started dating. Yes, I know it's crazy, a 13 year old girl already dating someone. That's why my father wouldn't approve, but I did it anyway. He promised he would love me, and I believed him.

Then, he met my sister. As much as I hate to admit it, my sister is extremely beautiful. Inside and out. He instantly broke up with me and tried going for my sister. Knowing my sister for 5 years, I knew she was going to reject him. And she did reject him.

Then he said he wanted me back. I was extremely hurt. I hated the whole race of men (excluding my father) when he broke my heart.

Because of this, I think all men must pay. Oh, and yeah, if you say this is a stupid reason for the heartbreaking, I don't care about your opinion, and I never asked for it in the first place.

Now, people say, 'that Claire is the worst girl ever', or 'anyone who has loved Claire has an unending regret in life', and my personal favourite is, 'She is the angel of evil, putting a plague of misery onto any man who shall trespass onto thy eye' (Yes, they actually said 'thy'… the person who said that was a poet.)

Even though I'm used to it, it still hurts. Then, I cry about the death of my mom. She was the person I looked up to. She was beautiful, kind, caring and perfect. My dad also told me that when I was born, she made him promise that he will always teach me to be good.

One day, when I was 7, she wouldn't wake up. She wasn't moving. And she wasn't breathing. We took her to the hospital, but it was too late. She was announced dead on arrival.

That day, my father was sobbing uncontrollably. Yes, I was crying, but my father sobbing. I was the one who had to reassure him that everything would be alright, even though, I knew I was lying.

I never want to see my father like that, so I never want to disappoint him. Which is why, under no circumstance do I let him know what I do. If he found out, what would happen to him? He promised mom that I will be good, and I am doing the exact opposite.

And of course, I cry about my life. How could life be so cruel to me? I was a good little girl, and then this had to happen to me. So it's obvious what would happen to me.

I stood up and walked to the mansion my father lived in, and began my search on what happened to Jill. As I continue my search, I remember the pain and hurt this put me through.

I don't take pain lightly, so I put all the pain onto others. On Jill… on Guys… and I guess my own father because I'm always lying to him. But this is how I cope though, by putting pain and misery onto others. It's what keeps me from breaking down.

So when I found out she was in Forget-Me-Not Valley, and was already close to everyone and all the guys have fallen in love with her and she is reunited with her long lost friend Skye, I have to stop her happy ending.

Yes, I do feel guilty for doing this, but I was good and everything I received was bad. So Jill should have fair treatment with life as well. Even if it means that I have to do it for life… but how will I do this?

Then I had an idea.

I picked up the phone, and dialled a number. It rang once. Twice. The third time, when I was about to hang up, someone on the line picked up.

"Hello, this is the police station, how may I help you?" the man on the line said.

"Y-yes, I would like to report a criminal, who goes by the name Phantom Skye…" I said.

"…WHAT! You know where he is? Where is he?" he shouted.

"…He is in Forget-Me-Not Valley… and you should also interrogate the resident farmer there… she knows more about him than I do", I replied.

"Forget-Me-Not Valley? …hmm… that's near mineral town, so I'll send Harris there… well thank you miss for the help," He said.

"No - thank YOU," I smiled, closing the phone.

Now what does a thief do when on the run? He leaves town of course. And so it seems that the prince of the stars has to leave his princess.

Jill: Ok, YukinaMizuki is still asleep, but she left a note for all the readers out there… ahem…

So now this chapter is done! And I guess some of the readers guessed the obstacle correctly, and a few of you probably got both obstacles correctly, mainly Claire and the police. I sort of made this sad backstory so people won't ask me why Claire did this in the first place. I'm sorry if it's bad, and thanks for all the people who review, especially the… umm… enthusiastic reviewers. You are really appreciated and I love you all, unless you're a spider, then DIE SPIDER! (Sorry, I don't like spiders) Also, did you guess who Claire's boy was? Well, the boy was…Kai! Anyways… see you in the next chapter!

-YukinaMizuki

Jill: Well, what she said (more like wrote), and goodbye everyone!
