Also I'm going to say this ahead of time. This chapter mostly consists of one flash back and I'm sorry about that. Hope you enjoy it though! ~

Claire's P.O.V. -
It was dark, like really dark. After Spirit took over, all I could see were the memories around me and darkness.
I've never really liked the dark, it holds to many shadows that hide until it strikes. Yeah, yeah! I know what you're thinking, "its just your imagination going crazy" but sometimes it seems quit real. And right now isn't helping.
I look around when suddenly I'm hit with one of my past memories.

- Flash back (she was about 7 in this memory) -

Tears were running down my face like run away trains, not stopping for a second. And to add to it, it was pouring down rain. I was running for the park, where I could always find him, even if it is raining.
Dad had to much to drink again and had come after me when I was trying to ask if I could go to a friends house.
He seems to do that alot now that mom's dead. Why'd she have to die? If she was still alive daddy wouldn't be drinking and hitting me. My cheek throbed, he had slapped me today.
But as long as I can see him everything will be fine. He'll know what to do. As I finally see the park up ahead I trip and fall, but I ignore the pain in my hands and knees and continue for the park. I need to see him.
But once I get to the park he's not in sight, where is he? He promised he'd always be here. Maybe something happened back at his place.
I don't want to go home, so I look around the park and I see a half barried tire among other things. I walk over to it and crawl under, hiding from the rain. It kept me dry for the most part.
I start feeling tired, and my eye's flutter shut.

- Time Skip -

I feel something shaking me and when I peel my eyes open I see him, Tristen. He was crouched down next to the tire and trying to wake me up.
"Claire what are you doing out here? Why are you soaked? And why are you sleeping?" He asks, worried lines written all over his face.
I sneezed and started shiffering, the cold morning air blowing against my wet clothes and skin. He put his hand against my forehead and pulled away quickly like it had burned him. "You got a really bad fever, how long you been out here?" He asks as he picks me up and starts walking awsy from the park.
"I-I came ye-yesterday afternoon to s-see you cause d-daddy got a-angry again." I chatter, barely able to even understand myself.
"You've been out here since yesterday!?!?!" he asks, disbelieve clear in his voice.
Tristen then picks up speed, running in the direction of his place.
After a few more minutes we were at his house and he was yelling, "Mom! Claire got a fever!! I need some help!" and I heard the running feet of his mother coming to see if I was ok.
He set me on the couch and got the thermometer, after a bit it beeped and he looked down to only look more angry.
"Mom! She's at 102.4, what do i do!!" As soon as he said that she came charging in with an ice pack and many different types of medicine.
She walked over to me, worry plain on her face as she hands me some medicine and water. I quickly take it and drink a lot of water. She then pushed me down and put the ice on my forehead.
"What happened dear?" she asked me.
I looked up to her and replied with "da-daddy got an-angry again. . ." and lift my bangs and the ice to show them the large bruise on my left side of my forehead. Tristen growled as his mother, Tina gasped.
"Oh sweety! Why didn't you just come to our house?" Tina asked.
I looked up to her and said "be-because I tho-thought he wo-would come so-sooner, and fe-fell asleep Wa-waiting." I chattered out.

- End Flashback -

The memory suddenly pulled away from me and floated away. But as soon as that one left, more came to take its place.
