****Winner of the Most Popular Naruto Fanfic Watty Award 2013/14**** **Currently being rewritten as the original is old and awful in this author's opinion** A coming of age story about a young Ninja, confused and hurt by the instances in her past, struggling to find her place and figure out what it all means. Can the kindness of a new Village warm a heart that time has taught to be cold and cruel? Can new friendships replace broken bonds, lost to the past? Is it safer to stay, or is it safer to run? A story not about one's physical strength, or of obtaining great power, but a story of overcoming and learning to change as old wounds heal.

All the while, an evil Queen Pandora is tracking her down, determined to stop Cassandra before she can cross over forever. With the help of a new friend, Cassandra attempts to outrun the Queen and leave her dimension forever. Will she make it to the Other side before Queen Pandora catches up?
