• Chapter One


    tab I stared off into the darkness of the night. I felt a wave of sleepiness, was over Kura. I stared at the small eight year old girl, as she nodded on and off fighting to keep her eyes open.

    tab "How is she?" The driver asked taking a quick left turn into a dirt road. I peeled my eyes from the little body and over at the driver, his name was Xavier. I had known him since Kura was born. He was the second person i had called to help me protect the child. He was the person i trusted most at the moment to protect her if something were to happen to me. My name is Nara i am twenty six, and i am Kura's god mother. Only two months ago did i legally become her mother. Two months ago Kura's mother was killed and her father left the day he found out Micky was pregnant.

    tab Kura and I have been living together since she was three years old. When we had found out about her secret powers. Micky in-trusted me to guard her child with her life because Micky knew she wasn't up to the task. She didn't have what i had, what Xavier had or what Serenity had. She was a normal human with normal strength, she had a normal job and hardly any fighting experience.

    tab I on the other hand, I have been fighting since i was young. Training for the day someone would come to take away my gift. I promised Micky i guard her child till my last breath. So far i have held up that promise. But as days go one the enemy has become stronger. Having more than three countries hunting us down was getting more and more difficult.

    tab "Nara?" Xavier's voice pulled me out of my thought process, "Is she ok?"

    tab I stared once again at Kura, she was fast asleep," Yeah, shes fine."

    tab He let out a sigh, "I would hate for you to have to wake her up, but we should be at my grandmothers plantation shortly." His voice was soft like silk the strange thing was. His voice was always like, this no matter how stressful the situation. I could always count on him to be the calm one.

    tab I reached over into the trunk of the Suburban and pulled out two black cloaks. With a night like this these cloaks should hide us pretty well. I pulled mine over my light purple dress and kicked off my high heels. Sadly this had been the only thing that my cow girl like figure could fit into at the old house we had been in. Serenity looked back at me her golden blond curls bounced at her shoulders.

    tab One thing i had learned about Serenity was not to underestimate her, just because she was a Natural blond that looked so much similar to barbie it was scary. Didn't mean she didn't know what she was doing. She knew more about guns then most men i have met and also has little to no boundaries, if shes going to have it anyway its going to be up close and personal. She may know more about guns than the average military man, she prefers the knifes, swords and of course the most natural fighting tool any human has, fists.

    tab "Hows your arm healing?" She asked looking down at my left arm and i adjusted the cloak around my body flipping the hood over my dark brown hair.

    tab I fallowed her eye movements down my arm and back up it. The bandage over it had covered a gash from my wrist to my elbow. It still hadn't fully healed from the last fight, the fight where i almost lost everything i had worked so hard to protect. In my life time i had never used my special power in the way i did that night.

    tab "It's fine almost fully healed." I said reassuring her everything would be hunky dory

    tab With that i closed my eyes and focused on me and Kura's bond i focused on her state of sleep. I opened my eyes and tree's surrounded me they were at least forty feet tall. Covered with dark green leaves. The grass under my feet was cold and wet, i looked around me taking in the forest as i did so i recognized it and frowned. I was in Kura's dream I had to remind myself sometimes that even if i could protect her out their in the big world filled with greed, hate, and every once in a while if you were lucky love.

    tab I walked through the forest fallowing a path covered in bright pink flower petals. I walked till i came across a grave stone, and a small girl with dirty blond hair matching her mothers and pale skin mimicking her fathers. Laying on the ground weeping with two, light pink flowers being held tightly in her small hands.
