Chapter 2
A few months have passed each with a party, each with me living as a ghost, and each with me being left behind once again. I was once again waking up within the shadows of an abandoned building, my "home" for the past week or so. I had to move every time I went to a party in the hopes that they will not find me again. They always had, but on my way back from the most recent party I felt something in the back of my neck. Using a small pocket knife from my small, ragged bag and quickly removed the object; which I found to be a tracking device.
I promptly threw it on the ground and crushed it with my shoe. I then pulled my hoodie up and over my head and stuffed a bloody cloth up in it, tying it so that it would stop the bleeding. I hoped that this time I could actually live in one place for a long, long time, or at least until they tear the building down. I will stay until I must leave; it is my home after all.
Dream Sequence/Memory
I looked around sadly, recognizing this place as the place I had grown up in. I walked toward the small cottage hidden in the trees. As I approached I was surprised to see my mother with some strange man, who I knew was not my father. As I got closer I recognized the man from one of my mother's pictures, that and she was pregnant. "Corinn, I am sorry but, Abram is dead."
The strange man spore regretfully, "He died trying to protect Katherine, and I did not know until it was too late." My mother fell to her knees in shock, silent, glistening tears falling down her cheeks. "Ahab, please don't make me live with this. I don't think I could handle it."
"I am sorry Corinn, but the most I am allowed to do for you, is allow you to live with me," he motioned to her swelling stomach, "until the child is two." He turned to go but, as he left he said, "I'll return for you tomorrow, but for now I must return to Katherine, she will enjoy your company, though, when you arrive. It is only now that I realize that this is my Uncle, Ahab Winner; I watch as he leaves, but as soon as I turn to my mother the scene changes.
The scene around me now is that of a space hospital, or at least the kind that I have seen in pictures. I saw my mother, my uncle, and the woman I thought to be my aunt; with both women lying in beds. I saw my mother holding a child, which I actually recognized as myself. As I looked at my aunt and uncle, I saw her fading as he demanded some kind of explanation.
*"I've never known a more foolish woman. You knew that having this child would cost you your life." "But… I wanted so much to bear your child." "Katherine…" a few moments passed before the doctor spoke, "She's gone."
I watched as my aunt died and my uncle spoke to the baby boy within his arms, "look closely, Quatre. Your mother was the strongest, and the most noble of all…"* My uncle then turned to my mother and said, "I truly wish that these two would have the chance to grow up together, but maybe some day we will allow them to meet again. He sighed and turned, leaving my mother alone so both could wallow in sadness. I turned again waiting for the next scene.
I didn't have to wait long, the scene soon changed to the cabin I had once called home. I saw my uncle and a few of his workers, bringing in things for my mother, who was carrying a two-year-old, me. "You needn't worry about money for the next ten years," my uncle said to my mother, "anything you need, all you have to do is ask." All our things, meager as they were, were finally in side the house.
