"Eden what are you doing here?" I crouched down picking him up looking for Johan. "You seriously should stop running from him before something bad happens to you "I heard a rustling from behind me and immediately pulled out my training gun it was small but never the less helpful. "W-who's there ?"my hands trembled as the bush rustled again and Johan popped out falling on the ground. "Damn that hurt"he looked up seeing me and immediately got up dusting himself off. "So we meet again huh" I playfully punched his shoulder and gave Eden who was currently squirming in my arms to him. "So mind telling me why you got a gun." he asked eyeing it with suspicion "Don't worry I'm too much of a wimp to shoot anyone I'm just holding it for a family member " I said nervously he smiled but I had a feeling he didn't quite trust me but I was fine with it . "Well I gotta go guess I'll see you around and I wouldn't call you a wimp you seem more dangerous than any woman I've ever known" he left and I let out a breath of relief I didn't think I was holding.

Walking back to the house I see the one person I didn't want to see to miss I'm so perfect Crystal. "Who was that you were talking to I haven't seen you hang around him at all " I ignored her walking away because it wasn't any of her business to know who he was. She grabbed my arm and I yanked my hand away. "Oh my bejesus just leave me alone woman why do you need to know who he is why are you so interested in my life !!"I finally blew a fuse. I'm usually nice but when someone keeps bothering me when it's very clear I don't want to associate with you it gets irritating. "J-j-just leave me alone" I stormed off to the backyard. I picked up my Smith and Wesson M&P compact gun and started shooting targets to blow off some steam. "Woah easy there princess "I turned around seeing my godfather and Tae walking up to me. "I don't want to talk right now " " Well you won't have to just listen you'll be attending a meeting with Crystal " he said smiling and I could see Tae getting nervous . "No" I dropped the gun walking away from everyone locking myself in my room. "Why is everything changing why is this happening to me " I curled myself up in the corner of my room my eyes glanced at my mother's book and I flipped through her songs until I found one that made me want to cry out in pain. It felt as if I had a lump in my throat. It's been hard usually I could just talk to my brother but he's not here he's always busy I feel so scared in this house full of strangers. The song was on the last page and it was old and torn a little my small broken voice sang in a small voice to myself.

I may not live to see our glory

But I will gladly join the fight

And when our children tell our story

They'll tell the story of tonight

I felt like the air around me was closing in on me and I couldn't breathe my vision got blurrier until I -
