Lost (Updated)

14

It was the first night in the Hisha compound and Sora kept stirring struggling to find sleep as images of her past stubbornly played through her mind. She looked over to Senshi and Aisura who were both currently on watch, Aisura turned to look at Sora noticing she wasn't sleeping.

"you should get some rest while you can, we'll be busy searching the main house tomorrow," Aisura said worry in his voice.

Sora rose to her feet walking towards the door of the room confusing the two.

"what are you doing," Senshi asked slight annoyance in her voice.

"I just need to take a walk," Sora said trying to hide the shakiness in her voice.

Senshi went to say something but stopped as Aisura placed his hand on her shoulder indicating for her to leave it alone. Sora left the room leaving a tense silence until Senshi spoke.

"Why did you let her go? It's not safe for her to go out there alone, what if something happens," Senshi said worry in her voice.

"we'll follow behind her to make sure she's okay, but you've noticed it too, her behaviour has become more strange the closer we've gotten to here, and now that we're here, she seems to be on autopilot like she's constantly fighting a panic, attack," Aisura said as he rose to his feet to follow Sora, Senshi following behind.

Now with all the Genin gone Tatsuo Sensei opened his eyes sighing as he got up to follow them, They sure were a handful.

Sora Wandered through the compound unaware of those following behind her, having been caught up in her thoughts, completely lost and oblivious. As she looked around she froze as suddenly bodies appeared littering the compound as a warm glow emitted from the light of the fires that burned throughout the compound.

She could hear the crackling of the flames and the pained cries, she could smell the blood and smoke in the air, all as if it was that night once again. But just the same as that night she felt nothing towards them, no pity, no worry, no pain for the loss. Just indifference. She continued walking her heart rate picking up as she moved forward, until she came to a familiar clearing.

She looked around seeing nothing and she let out a sigh of relief until she heard a twig snap from behind and she spun around in a panic freezing in place when she saw who stood behind her.

"Arata," Sora mumbled.

There standing before her was her brother, blood soaking his clothing a wound from a blade through his chest as he looked at Sora, his eyes empty and dead. Was he the one who has been right behind her this whole time?

"Why did you run? why did you leave me to die?" He asked, his voice gurgling with blood in his lungs.

Her mouth opened multiple times but no words came out as tears brimmed her eyes. She abandoned him without a second thought. The only person that loved and cared for her. She was a horrible sister that didn't deserve him as a brother. How could she have done that to him?

She reached out a shaky hand to him tears brimming her eyes as she went to take a step towards him wanting to help him, to save him.

"don't come near me. Our mother was right, we should have left you in the wilderness to die. If you weren't here he would never have come and killed me. this is all your fault, you are a curse that will cause everyone around you to die. You just wait those teammates of yours will die!" He yelled out.

Sora felt her body shake as her tears spilled from her eyes. She collapsed to her knees holding her head as she felt her breaths becoming shallow and quick.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry," She kept repeating those words as she rocked her body back and forth.
