I knocked on the door off my friends house. It was strange, it was usually open. "It's me!" I called through the thing door. "That would be Audira, of you don't recognize my voice." The door creeked open a bit. Sin popped his head out.

"I can only let you in if you promise not to tell anyone," he said in a hushed voice. Scrunching how eyebrows and staring at me.

"You're freaking me out Sin," I told him with an amused smirk on my face, "Do you have some random guy with strange colored hair in there?" His face lit up with shock.

"Just let her in sweety," Esra's voice came through the door. I came in and Sin closed it behind me. There sitting on the floor was Darius, the blond from Reim. I had nothing against blonds, I was one in my previous life.

"Hello. I know who you are, and why you are here. I have no qualms against that, but if you hurt this family, oh so Solomon help me, I will rain fire and fury down upon up," I meant to speak in English. Esra and Sin were used to me speaking on that language from time to time, but the spy looked strangely scared.

"Darius," Esra came over and placed her hand on my head, "This is Audria, she's Sin's friend." I put a smile on my face and waved at him. Esra covered my ears, even though she knew I could still hear her. "She hits her head a lot." Now it was true. Every time I moved my foot there was a cance i would fall and hit my head, which happenes everyday. The most had been telwenty in one day.

"Are you going to be staying here?" I asked, wiggling my way out from her hands.

"I will be," Darius answered, smirking in amusement. He was probably thinkung all these antics were just because I was a kid.

"You could stay with me," I offered. I just needed to convince him and Esra to let it happen. "I live farther away from the village, so it would be less likely for anyone to see you, and we hunt for food, so it wouldn't be hard to provide for another person." He seemed to be truly pondering my offer.

"Audria, can I talk to outside," Esra asked of me. I looked up at her, and she was watching me with a sympathetic smile. A bit dropped on my stomach as I followed the grown up outside. "Audria, is there something you want to tell me?" she asked, ccrouching on the ground to be closer to my height.

"I don't trust him, he's blond, he's probably from Reim," I told her. I knew she was probably talking about my parents. They have been gone for a month, and it is obvious that I've been acting different.

"Audria," she side, running her hand through my hair, "That's not what I'm talking about, and it doesn't matter where he is from, if he needs help we'll give it to him. The same goes for you." She paused for me to finally tell someone. I didn't say anything, just brought my attention to the ground. "I know your parents abandoned you. We knew something was going on, and after yesterday Badr and i came to see your parents, to find no one was in your house."

"They left a month ago," I told her, feeling the tears slipping out of my eyes. "It's not like they needed to bring me along. They found me as a baby, I wasn't there's. I knew they were going to leave me on day."

"Audria," Esra pulled me into a hug, "You're just a kid. It isn't right to leave a kid on their own. You can live with us, you are always welcomed here."

My mind was clouded with emotions, and i wasn't think straight. Let's also mention I was a kid, again. "I don't need your help I can take care of myself!" I yelled, pushed her away from me and ran away. "Go to hell!" I yelled back at her.

I hadn't seen Sin or his family in days. I stuck to hunting in my spare time. All the while guilty ate away at me. I knew I needed to apologize to Esra. I also hate to much near for one small girl to ear alone. I prepared some and wrapped it in the cloth, making my wya to their house, watching my bare feet as I went. I was about to the front door when screams off pain and twrrior entered my head. I looked up to see Darius tearing apart Parthevian soldiers. I watched the horror they refused to show in the anime.

I only had one thought pass through my head. I need to protect Sin. I dropped what I was carrying and bolted inside. I slid in around the large Reim Spy, grabbed Sin by the wrist and pulled him back out. I couldn't see the terror on his face as our feet splashed through blood. We didn't get car before we were lifted up by the collars and carried into the middle of the village.

The entire time i was wiggling around. Trying to lose his grip, kick him, punch him. I could only hit his wrist with a puny hand. It didn't help to have a crying Sin clutch in the same hand as me. "Someone help me!" I heard Esra begging. I stopped my struggling to see her on the ground, watching us through the tears in her eyes.

I don't know why it took me so long to remember this, I had a knife on me. I reached for it as I watch Badr hobble out of the surrounding crowd. Before he could fall to the ground i pulled out my knife and pludged it into Darius' wrist. We both slipped out of his grasp. I quickly climbed off the ground, grabbed Sin, and ran behind his father.

I couldn't hear what he said with the adrenaline pumping through my ears. But even with what I did Darius still ended up dead, and Badr was sent into war. I seemed more devistated than anyone else. They still had hope that he would come back. I was also angry at myself, I knew what was going to happen, yet didn't trying my best to change it.

The night before he would be talented away he came up to talk to me. I had sorta moved in with them, I would sleep and eat there but all my stuff was in my own house. Neither Sin nor Esra were around, it was just the two of us.

"Audria, can you make me a promise," he asled of me, "Can you watch over Sin for me. Make sure he doesn't get into too much for him to handle." I lowered my gaze. I wanted to keep that promise, but i wasn't sure if i could.

"He has great things destined for him, " I started, talking timidly. I was pleading with the loose cloth of my clothing, trying to calm myself. "I don't know if it involves me." I brought my attention up to the man. "But as long as I'm by his side I will keep that promise." I could see the rukh flutter around me. They seemed excited by my determination. But it all slipped away, and I knew I was basically useless.

"If either of you have a say in it, you two will never be seperated, " he told me with a smirk. My face just went grim. I wish that were true, but i was scared about what would happen in the future. It was scary knowing what would happen, and one decision could easily change it all, runibg the comfort you accidentally got into. Besides I'm not even meant to be in this world, the world he's gonna change. "I feel you know something, have since the day I met you," Badr said. He was so easy going, like his son was going to be.

I couldn't help but tell him. Dead men tell no tales. "I know the future," I said, he rasied and eyebrow, but heard me through. "Sin's going to become something great. A king, an inivator, he's gonna change this world."

"That explains somethings," he responded with a slight laugh. "You've always sorta had this inferiority complex with him, in some sense. Always putting him before yourself. But kid, I see a similar fire burning in both of you, together you can't make them brighter or let them turn to ash."

"Thanks," I said, giving him a small smile.

"May I ask, why are you telling me this now?" he wondered. I couldn't bring myself to tell him, I just broke eye contact. My silence gave him the answer.

"I tried to change it," I told him. I wanted to say more, but I couldn't being myself to do so. "You're like a father to me." It was true, it pained me to know that I would see him again after that day.
