 Naomi woke up to a snoring noise, when she looked out the window it was at the crack of dawn. (The hell's that noise....) Naomi glance over at the other bed and groaned. She got up rubbing her head. (Damn it... My socket is hurting... What did I do...?) She walked into the bathroom and began uniting her eye patch when she did almost a puddle of blood poured out, it drain down her cheek. Naomi's breathing got heavy. She began touching the blood running down her face. (The hell!?...) The blood was like a strip on a pavement road gong down to her chin then dripping at several places, she examine the eye patch and saw stretch marks and blood stains. The blood hit the sink instead of the floor covering it in an ocean of red. She placed her and over the socket feeling it throb. She felt her head jolt and sway. (My head hurts.... My eye socket hurts.... My body....) She fell smashing her head against the sink.

After a few hours she a woke to voices. "God! What the hell! C'mon! you're supposed to help people in need!" ShaKi smashed the phone down while hanging up. "Naomi...! Please!" Naomi began opening her eye and she began coughing. "W-what happened....." ShaKi ran over and lifted her up a little. "You fell in the bathroom... We saw tons of blood and thought it was from your head... But thank god it wasn't.. What's the deal with your eye socket???" Naomi shook her head, "I-I have no clue... it was like this when I woke up earlier..." Lyn hugged her. Naomi patted her head, "No worries... I'm not going that early... I won't allow it, promise..." Naomi rubbed her head, (Damn... What the hell... I believe this happened before... but not this bad...) Naomi stood up and stretched a bit, she felt her back lower to upper pop including her chest. She pulled her arm in the air and stretched her arms. "Naomi, you're a tough piece of work.. Nothing ever knocks you down for a week..." Naomi smirked, "Yeah... Have to keep moving forward my body can take a lot even being cut a thousand times..."

ShaKi rubbed her head, "You gave trouble back then... I still wondered how you managed, but at least I know you could hold a fight on your own." "Have to be a tough cookie just to survive... It's a good skill to have..." Lyn hugged Naomi, "I'm so happy your alright!" Naomi smiled a bit, "Like I said... Not leaving yet..." ShaKi smiled, "You two are very close friends, which is good... Need more people like you... But right now we need to head out..." Naomi and Lyn agreed and began packing. ShaKi left to her mansion. Naomi and Lyn waited by the front gate, waiting to leave the village. Naomi had her back placed against the wall arms crossed. (The hell's taking her so long...? It's been two hours since she left....) Lyn was checking the bags when ShaKi finally showed up. She was wearing tight shorts and a tank top that showed her belly button. Naomi scratched her head, "That.... The hell is that outfit...? We're not trying to get guys at every corner..." ShaKi struck a pose and said, "Best to look good when in a battle!" Lyn complimented her clothes. Naomi rubbed her head and got away from the wall holding her jacket on one shoulder, "Let's head out...I guess.." They began walking the trail leaving the village. ShaKi and Lyn were talking while Naomi was thinking things over. After a while it began to storm with lightening striking the trees beside them. They were far away from the village they left They were in a mystic forest, small fairies flew into there small homes in the trees when it began to rain. After a few more feet into the forest Naomi began hushing ShaKi and Lyn. They turned and looked at her. When they began to speak, Naomi held up her hand to shush them. Naomi glanced about there location reaching inside her side where she placed her katakana. (Sh!t...) "Get ready..." Lyn and ShaKi readied their weapons. ShaKi had a spear, iot had two spear heads on each end, she spun it and smashed it into the ground showing her power.

Then stomps vibrated the ground, then a roar. Then they saw birds leaving the area and heard trees thudding across the forest. Then a claw reached Naomi's face, ina split second she rose her sword blocking the attack. She skidded and smacked the tree behind her that fell from her impact. "GAH!" she shouted. ShaKi stood looking at the creature. The fur was black and grey showing off a flesh filled face with a split mouth showing rows of teeth, then it roared in the air and began attacking ShaKi and Lyn. They dodged and attacked. Lyn was knocked back against a tree, the breath was knocked out of her. ShaKi dodged and stabbed it, blood spewed from the wound and she was knocked back she smacked into three trees before she stopped from the fourth one and she slid down it blood dripping from her head. Naomi rose rubbing her head feeling the blood drip from it. She began gritting her teeth and ran into the path seeing the creature, it turned and roared in the air. It's eyes had a black film over them. The arms and legs were inhumanly long. The claws were stretching across to one tree. Naomi held her katakana with a tight grip. (That monster...! It was...!) Naomi knew this creature she fought it before, while Nick was alive he fought this thing protecting Naomi and some children, he wasn't able to kill it. He managed to scare it off. Naomi gritted her teeth and began feeling a burning rage go through her veins. The creature smerked and began charging, Naomi slashed when it got close. Its arm flew in the air and hit the ground in a blood soaked thud, the rain turned into a red color showering Naomi in it. She turned and stomped towards it while it knocked her back, she skidded and in a split second it lounged back and smashed her into the ground. She coughed up blood and laid there trapped between its claws. She felt a claw in her stomach, she coughed up blood. It ran down her chin like a fountain. "SEE..!" It spoke "Those brats were lunch!!!' It roared in the air. Its face went close to Naomi's. "I remember you there!!! That boy!!!!" Naomi stabbed its arm and it began lifting her in the air, its claw still through her gut. She was slammed against the ground. Blood began rushing down her stomach and head. She looked around and couldn't see Lyn or ShaKi. She began removing the sword from its arm and stabbed its eye, she was lifted and the claw was removed from her stomach. She was lifted at least three feet in the air and he hit the ground with a huge thud. She placed her hand on her chest and began trying to breath. The creature grabbed the blade and slammed it into her leg. More blood oozed out. Blood dripped form its missing eye. It roared in her face and it began speaking, "You're like the rest! Never wanting to die!! Never wanting to give up on anything, like that boy! Those tasty people, those were my lunch and you took it away!!!" It's claw went through Naomi's opened wound in her stomach. Naomi coughed up more blood. She reached for her sword and yanked it out of her leg, then it lunged mouth opened and ready to rip her head off. Then...silence... Blood ran down the blade and dripped onto Naomi's face. The creature twitched and fell to the side. Naomi let out a groan when the claw exited her stomach. She slowly lifted up holding her wounded stomach and looked at the creature's motionless body.
