Blood Stained

Chapter 80: Conflicting Sides

The room was completely quiet and everyone was staring at Kiyoshi. Kagome laid a hand on her son's head in an attempt to sense where the jewel was. It was somewhere inside of him and she was going to find it. While her hand roamed over his hair she suddenly remembered where the jewel had hidden inside of her. She quickly moved her hand to his stomach and closed her eyes.

"It's here," she said before glancing at Sesshomaru.

"Okay, can someone explain me how this is possible?" Kouga questioned before trying to get in the middle of them. "I mean, didn't it shatter and disappear when Kagome wished on it? We all saw it right?"

"No, all we saw was a bright light," replied Kai.

She tucked her blue locks behind her ears and sighed. "We didn't know what happened to it; we just assumed it was gone."

"Did you know?" Sesshomaru asked in a tone that clearly showed he was not pleased.

"I did," she said. However, before Sesshomaru flipped because of her answer, she added to her response. "I didn't know then, but I have known recently."

"And you believe it was a good idea to keep this information for yourself?" This was – this changed everything and she thought it would be better if none of them knew? What was it with this woman?

Kai felt her temper rise within her and she glared at Sesshomaru. She had shown him respect more than once, despite the way he had treated her, but now she was reaching her limit. She took a few steps in his direction which caused the tiny heels on her brown ballerina shoes to click against the floor. Her stare was set on him and her chest puffed with confidence.

"You think you are powerful and almighty. You are a Lord. However, all you have are powers that any youkai could have. I, on the other hand have something – something special." She took a deep breath. "I can see the future. Do you think it's all fun and games?"

"Kai," Kouga began in the hopes of stopping the fight from erupting.

She raised her hand, the bracelets around her wrists tinkled and she hoped Kouga would understand her gesture. "It comes with responsibility. I can't just tell everyone what's going to happen and I can't save everyone."

Kai was now standing right in front of Sesshomaru, her head reaching to his shoulders. "Do you know how many innocent people I've had to watch die? More than you've killed. Do you know what I can do about it? Nothing."

Tears were now filling her eyes and her bottom lip was trembling. These were not memories that she enjoyed re-living. "If I changed something, if I save someone then someone else will die or something else will change. I can't interfere with anything."

Everyone, including Kai, was surprised that Sesshomaru had yet to speak. Instead, he was staring at her intently and remained completely silent.

"You can't change the future. You know, despite what you might think and believe your beast is not the reason why you couldn't stop Kagome from going through that well that day."

She had seen more than he knew when she had grabbed his hands. Heck, she had seen more than she had wanted to see.

"You couldn't stop her because it was meant to happen. Many things will be fixed because Kagome went through what she did. It had to happen because it was the way it was written. If I had told her that Kiyoshi had the jewel inside of him, I would have prevented her from getting to that realization. For the future to happen she had to learn it on her own."

The anger finally left her eyes and her expression saddened. "You can't change anything, no matter the pain it will bring. At least you have the chance of not having to live with that. I have to know what will happen and go on regardless."

Her words were harsh and filled with emotions but she could not help it. There were things she could tell like you will find love, but nothing specific. She was tired of carrying this burden and then being yelled at for what she was doing. All she had ever done was protect the future. No matter the pain, she could not protect anyone. She could only see it and brace herself for it.

Sesshomaru's amber eyes were set on her but unfortunately she could not read his expression. She maintained the stare and it went on like that for a little longer until finally Sesshomaru backed away from her. That surprised her more than once. He was not one to lose a fight or an argument but he knew better this time.

He felt a new type of rage inside of him and he knew it was because of his wounded pride. The only reason he was doing this was, though it killed him to admit it, she was right. Also, the last thing they needed at the moment was an added fight to all of this. He had lost his temper and had blamed an innocent when she hadn't done anything.

He was aware first hand that you could not change the future no matter how hard you tried. Even if Kai had alerted them of this or anything else it wouldn't have made a difference.

"Very well," was his only reply before he returned to his family's side.

Kai smiled gently as she nodded. It was understandable; Sesshomaru was protective of his mate and son and it was a very natural reaction. He could not protect them and for someone like Sesshomaru it was most likely one of the worst feelings.

"That still doesn't answer my question," said Kouga while he tried to remind everyone that he was still waiting for an explanation. "How did it end up in Kiyoshi?"

"He's Kagome's son."

"Meaning the duty was passed down to him," Kagome finished. "It means I failed."

Although she could feel her chest rise up and down, Kagome didn't feel as if she was breathing. Her heart was being constricted and tears were burning her eyes. A lot of things had gone wrong in her life and she had made more than one mistake. She had experienced a lot of pain along with tragedies but – this had been in her control.

She hadn't just failed in her duty as the guardian of the jewel; she had failed as a mother.

Her job was to protect her son but instead she had passed the burden down to him. The worst part was that he was much younger than she was when she learned about the jewel's existence. Also unlike in her case the jewel seemed much more active now and there was no way a child so young could protect it. Had she doomed her own son?

A tear slid down her cheek and glued her lips together. What was going to happen now?

"So you made a selfish wish and then the jewel appeared in Kiyoshi?"

"She failed to do her duty," said Sesshomaru while making sure to avoid looking at Kagome. "She was supposed to protect it and make a selfless wish on it and she did not. It would have gone to her next reincarnation but –"

"But Kagome is the first guardian of the jewel to have a child. They usually die before they can even start a life. It should be passed down and since it could this time…well it was."

"They all died?" Kagome knew Midoriko and Kikyo had been guardians of the jewel and obviously neither of them had children but she didn't think there were more.

"All four of them." Kai could see the confused look on people's faces and was aware she'd have to explain. At least this time she could since it was the past and it had already happened.

"Your soul has traveled a few times and not every being had the chance to actually look over the jewel since it was lost. Yet it was still their duty."

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Then why did they die?" If they weren't guarding the jewel, why would someone kill them?

This was the part Kai wasn't sure she was allowed to reveal. She nervously ran her fingers through her hair and wondered if it was a good idea. It couldn't possibly be harmful since Kagome was obviously not following the path her soul had taken so many times. The only thing this might do was sadden Kagome but the truth always did hurt.

"The guardians of the jewel are doomed. Your soul is doomed or at least was."

Kagome's lips parted and she inhaled deeply. "Doomed?"

"You're not. I mean you have a husband – I mean a mate and you have a child. In all of your previous lives you have never found love successfully or had a family. This means you changed your luck. This will not happen to you."

Considering all of the times her life had been in danger, Kagome did not trust that she was safe simply because she had more than she had in her previous lives. She glanced down at her son and this time the weight of her guilt had increased even more. She had passed down the duty of the jewel along with a doomed life? She was beginning to wonder if perhaps others did not have children by choice since they didn't want this life for their children.

Kagome protectively brought Kiyoshi against her and buried his face in her chest. She felt like her heart was ready to explode and it was getting harder to stop the tears from raining down her face.

"Hey Kag, it'll be alright," Kouga said as he tried to comfort her. "I mean, the jewel was cut out of you right? We just have to get it out of Kiyoshi."

Her eyes widened and anger flashed through them. "Nobody is going to cut anything out of my son."

"It's too dangerous too keep it in there! He could get hurt!"

She scoffed. "By who? Our biggest threat had always been Naraku and he's gone. I mean – who – who else could we not all handle? Especially since I have my full powers now I'm stronger."

Kagome was hiding her fear behind fake confidence but she had no other choice. She would not let anyone harm her son even if it was for Kiyoshi's sake. He was very fragile and hers to protect. She might have harmed him more than she thought but she was not ready to add to the list. Nobody was getting anywhere near her son.

Kouga took a deep breath; everyone was ignoring the obvious. Perhaps Kagome would get mad at him, but he had to say it. She was his friend and he cared deeply for her. "Then you'll let it drive you mad?"

"You think it was the jewel?" asked Sesshomaru while he moved forward. "Why would it be affecting her soul?"

"Because Kiyoshi is too pure," answered Kai. "The jewel was never purified and then wished on. The darkness was never removed from it and then it was passed on to Kiyoshi. He's a baby and there is nothing more innocent than that."

"Since he can't find darkness in my son, he had to find it in someone else," finished Kagome.

Kai nodded. "He could have taken over a youkai but it wouldn't mean anything. We have darkness inside of us by nature. You on the other hand…"

"I used to protect it and my heart is still filled with blackness." Kagome felt herself choke up and she blinked for a few seconds trying to chase the tears away. "Are you telling me that every time I'll be near my son, I will – I'll feel like that?"

"I can't say."

"You don't know, or you can't say?"

"I can't say. If I tell you, it might change a lot of things and I can't take that risk."

Kai knew her lack of answers would disappoint Kagome the most out of everyone she had kept the truth from, but the rules could not be changed. Still, out of guilt Kai began fidgeting with the fabric of her long frilled green skirt in the hopes that it would lessen the feeling.

Through her worry and concern, Kagome could feel that darkness still bubbling inside of her and somehow she knew the answer to her own question. Being around her son would mean that she would feel this way. It was terrible since there was absolutely no way she would not be near her son. She'd take care of him no matter what.

"It doesn't matter. If I feel this way I'll handle it." She shrugged her shoulders. "I mean, I'm a Miko, I should know how to defeat darkness. My life hasn't been, I mean Sesshomaru and me – I just. It couldn't be that bad."

"You didn't see yourself earlier." As soon as Kouga spoke those words he regretted them. "I mean, you're fine now."

"Because she's worried about her son. A mother's love is stronger than anything else."

"She loved him earlier and she was still overtaken."

"Yes but now she is guilty."

"And she's standing right here," Kagome said with her tone louder than expected. "Whatever is going to happen, we'll deal with it. We always have.." She had dealt and lived through worse things before meaning this was nothing.

"Your plan is to do nothing?" Kouga asked completely baffled.

"I had the jewels in me for fifteen years and nothing happened to me."

"Yes, but you had a balance within you. Unless Kiyoshi has enough darkness to satisfy the jewel, it'll keep overtaking you."

"Well, he's half youkai. Kai didn't you say every youkai had darkness in them?"

Kai threw her hands in the air. "They do but Kiyoshi is not a youkai. I mean I know half youkai have darkness, but your son is not even that. I mean… I don't know what he is. All I know is that if he has the jewel he has to be pure, it's the only way."

"He has holy powers that's for sure," Kouga said before crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"What do you suggest we do?" Sesshomaru questioned as he glanced directly at Kai. She knew the future so there was a chance she could provide even the smallest input on the matter.

"There's nothing you can do. Kagome doesn't want to take the jewel out meaning…."

"Meaning what?"

"The only way to make this a safe situation would be to have Kiyoshi purify the jewel."

"You would like for my son to purify a jewel that he does not know is inside of him?" Sesshomaru believe Kiyoshi was strong but it was impossible for him to have that kind of power and even if he did he wouldn't know how to use it.

"It's the only way."

"But whatever happens, Kiyoshi won't be harmed. Just me right?"

Kai knew what answer Kagome was looking for but she was afraid that giving her that response would not be a good thing. Still, she couldn't lie. "That's correct."

"Then he's not in any immediate danger," Kagome concluded.

"But you are."

"Kouga, it'll be fine. You guys can go back to your room. We'll be okay."

Kouga tucked his bangs behind his hair while being filled with disbelief. "Why aren't you saying anything?" he asked Sesshomaru. "She's in danger, why aren't you doing anything?"

Sesshomaru was stuck. Obviously he wanted to protect both Kagome and their son and he understood that she didn't want him to be cut open; he wasn't very keen on the idea either. He had no desire to see Kagome being overtaken by the darkness of the jewel either. But…

"Isn't the darkness prisoner inside the jewel? How much damage could it do?"

Kai sighed. "Kiyoshi is not purifying it but his pureness is trying to push it out of the jewel. I can't say for sure."

"But why now, why not before? The jewel has been inside Kagome for a while now."

"I'm not sure," Kai said slightly uncomfortable. "I'm guessing it is because the jewel has been trying to find darkness inside of Kiyoshi. Now it has failed, it can't find any and it has to seek it somewhere else. The jewel is dark and it wants to stay that way. It'll fight for that."

Sesshomaru would have to protect Kagome. He had known her long enough to know that she wouldn't do anything to harm her son and there would be no changing her mind. This was just one more thing to add to the list. After all, it wasn't as if he believed their blissfulness would have lasted. Everything good in his life was always temporary.

"Kagome is right, we will be fine."

"You have got to be kidding me," Kouga said while he threw his arms in the air. "You think this is okay?"

"This is my family. It is none of your concern."

Kouga gulped down hard in an attempt to swallow his rage. He hated when Sesshomaru took up this attitude. "Fine. I guess we'll go then."

He threw a glance in Kai's direction and she nodded. Both of them left with their steps extremely slow. Kouga wasn't able to chase away the feeling of uneasiness in his chest but he kept walking nonetheless. As soon as they stepped out of Kagome and Sesshomaru's hotel room he stopped. Then, he turned his head and glanced at Kai.

"Will it really be okay?"

"Maybe."

"There's something I don't understand though. Why isn't the jewel after Sesshomaru? I mean I'm sure it would be able to bring the beast back… and that would bring back darkness inside Kagome."

"I have no idea."

And this time, she was speaking the truth.

-B-

Sesshomaru was pressed against the doorway and watched Kagome carefully rock their son in her arms while humming a song. He didn't want to interrupt the moment and he also didn't know what to tell her. He had been quiet for most of the conversation and it wasn't like him. He was usually in charge and a main part of the plans.

"It will be fine," he finally said breaking the silence.

She nodded. "I know, I just…" She turned around to face him. "I didn't want him to be put through this. I don't want him to get hurt and I certainly wouldn't like for him to have to take care of the jewel."

"He won't have to. We'll deal with this and find a way to purify the jewel. He won't have to do anything."

"I hope so," she said as she looked at her sleeping son. She sighed heavily before gently putting him down in his cherry wood crib.

He was fine for now and apparently she could use the distance from him whenever he was asleep; it was the only time he didn't need her. She didn't even like the thought of not being near him but at least she wouldn't feel guilty while he was asleep. She did promise herself that darkness or not, she'd remain close to him whenever he required her presence.

Kagome took a deep breath when suddenly she felt hands on her shoulders and she knew they belonged to Sesshomaru. "I guess it's one thing after another," she said before leaning into his chest. "I thought we were done, I thought we were waiting to just leave and put this behind us."

He kissed her neck in the hopes of comforting her. "I know."

It was time to realize that things would never be simple for them. Maybe one day when there was nothing youkai or holy left in the world. That was not about to happen.

Kagome turned around and pressed her palms against his chest. "I guess this is not the aftermath we were expecting."

The most important night of their relationship and it had been interrupted once again by the jewel. What part of her life hadn't been ruled by it? It was the reason she had ended up in the past, with Sesshomaru and had a son. Without it she would be a normal high school girl right now. Quite the difference.

"That thing really is cursed. And now Kiyoshi-"

Sesshomaru brought a finger to her lips to make her stop talking. "Our son is not cursed. I warn you not to fear anything; we will be fine."

"How do you know? You're always so confident. Where does that come from? I mean you screwed up more than once and you certainly haven't gotten rid of your problem. I mean your beast might not have come out yet but it doesn't mean it's gone. We both know he's going to come out again."

Sesshomaru's eyes widened and he tilted his head to the side. "Is this how you feel?"

"What, you think because we did it that it's all going to be okay? That he's not gonna come back? You know he will and then we will split and it just won't work." The moment the words escaped her mouth she appeared to be taken back. "I- I didn't mean to say that."

She couldn't explain why but her heart was filled with sadness. Her chest felt heavy and under pressure while her mind was hazy. Despite what had just occurred between them, it was as if she could not see a bright future for them. That thought alone was enough to cause her to tear up. After everything, a happy ending should at least be a possibility…

The instant Sesshomaru caught a glimpse of her expression of sadness; he had an idea of what was happening to her. It seemed that the moment Kiyoshi had left her arms her worries for him had lessened and she had remained in close vicinity. Apparently that was all it took for the darkness inside of her to emerge again and take hold of her heart.

"Kagome, do not apologize."

Although he was aware it was not her talking it didn't help but shake the poor hope he had in them. He had already felt like he could always lose her and this was not helping. The same thoughts she currently had running through her mind, he had as well. They had gone from not being able to get rid of it to not being able to talk to it. It was suspicious.

"I just… I mean why… why didn't he show up? We did it, what he thought we wouldn't do. Why didn't he try to stop us or ruin it? I don't understand. He is not interested in me anymore?"

She didn't want it interested in her, especially not the way he had been in the past, but she couldn't ignore that it was strange. He had been ready to rob her of everything she was to be with her and now, he was nowhere to be found? The fear was spreading through her heart and slowly her teeth sunk in her bottom lip.

Sesshomaru hid his surprise in the hope that he had misunderstood her. "Why would you want him here? This is better. The closer we can become Kagome, the better our chances are to have him merge back with me. Then, he will be inside of me forever."

She scoffed. "You believe that? He's never going to think it's enough. He'll never think we're close enough for you two to be one." Although sadness was shining in her eyes, it was dark rage that controlled her heart. "You wanna know why?"

Kagome pulled her hand away and pointed her index at him. "You let him be in charge." Her eyes were darkening and she began glaring at him. "He wants me to love him, not you."

She was speaking the words faster than she could process them. After each syllable, she was already regretting it but by then it was too late. Kagome didn't want to say those things, not now. And then, she became scared. What if – what if those words created distance between them? What if he left her after they had become so close?

In the end, she would be all alone with herself and her thoughts.

"He is me, Kagome." He didn't like to admit it but the truth was if she loved him, truly loved him, it meant she loved all of him and accepted every part of him even if he didn't.

"No, he's not right now. You're you and it's it. Whenever he wants, he'll ruin it for us." She sighed before backing away from him causing her back to hit the crib. "He'll take it all away."

Sesshomaru didn't know why but he couldn't help but reach out for her wrists and stop her from making any further movements.. He was getting a bad feeling and whatever she was about to do he knew he wouldn't like it. "Kagome, you need to stop this. This is not you speaking."

"Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm not sure anymore, maybe I'm scared."

It had all felt so perfect, too perfect. It couldn't have been real.

His heart pinched with pain. "You are still scared of me?"

"I'm not afraid of you. I'm – You'll let it come between us.

Sesshomaru frowned. "No. Kagome, even if he tries to break through I will not let it take you away from me."

He gently cupped her face with his hands and pressed his forehead against hers. Even if he could not beat the beast during a battle for control he'd never let it hurt Kagome. Although, he seriously doubted the beast would harm her again the way it had in the past. It now carried a different kind of consciousness along with guilt.

Sesshomaru was at loss of words; he had no more answers to give her.

This was not Kagome talking, it was all too obvious. Also, if he was correct it meant that what she was doing now was only a way to hurt herself. The darkness within the jewel was trying to make her dwell in her suffering to deepen the blackness in her mind. Did this mean that she had to be even further from Kiyoshi to not be affected? After all, she was not even holding him and her personality had still transformed.

Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her fully and pressed her face against his chest. Then, when he was certain his hold was strong he used his speed to propel himself against the bathroom door. This was as far as he could get her from their son without leaving the room. All he could hope was that it was enough distance to at least clear her mind.

He waited a few seconds before releasing his hold on her and he listened to her heartbeat. Once it had finally slowed down, he loosened his arms and she pulled away. She glanced up at him with her shiny blue eyes and she appeared to be on the verge of breaking down.

"I – what is happening to me?" she mumbled between cries.

Yes it was the jewel, but why was it tearing her up from the inside like this? Earlier she had simply felt angry and powerful. Now she felt like a complete emotional wreck. She wasn't even sure if her heart had felt this heavy back in the Feudal Era when she had been the beast's prisoner. All the memories from the past had been rushed into her mind at once.

"We will find a way," he said in an attempt to give her faith.

"I'm not cutting the jewel out of our son."

"I know," Sesshomaru replied while caressing her hair. "We will purify it somehow."

She brushed her bangs away from her eyes and carefully pondered. "Could I still purify it? I mean, Kikyo could always touch the jewel even when I was the one protecting it. If- if I could…"

Sesshomaru didn't wish to shatter her hopes but he knew deep inside that the answer to her question was no. Even if Kagome overcame all the obstacles in her life and was happy again, there would always be a memory of darkness within her. No matter what, the jewel would be able to reach it and it would be her demise.

The only true way was for her to make a selfish wish upon it. Well her or Kiyoshi.

It did scare him that his son could make a wish without knowing but he relied on the hope that Kiyoshi's mind was not at that stage yet. It was true that Kagome had grown up with it inside of her but at the time it hadn't been conscious. Now it was obviously trying to escape and it would be a danger for everyone.

"I'm the one who put everyone in danger," she said before sniffling.

At this particular moment she had no desire whatsoever to be in his head but it seemed she didn't even have control over that.

Capturing her chin with his index and thumb, Sesshomaru focused Kagome's attention on him. "It is not your fault. You made a wish out of love. It was selfless."

Yes, there was a bit of personal gain, but truly for the main part she had a chance to lose more than she could win.

"It wasn't enough. Love wasn't enough."

She wiped her nose with the back of her hand before settling in his hold. "Kikyo was going to use it on Inuyasha. She loved him and she wanted them to be humans together. She was going to do it out of love, but it wouldn't have been a selfless wish either. Love is really selfless."

You might do everything for someone, but in the end you might be doing it for yourself without even knowing. Kagome hadn't thought about what was in it for her when she saved Sesshomaru; she had just wanted him alive.

He wanted nothing more than to argue with her but he couldn't. All of this, him and her, it had all begun because he hadn't been able to live with the guilt. Yes, he had thought he had to make it up to her but really deep down it was in the hope that someday his burden wouldn't be as heavy to carry.

"I won't let it happen to him," she said through silent tears. "I don't care what Kai said; Kiyoshi won't be doomed."

She didn't include herself because her share of hell had already happen and there was still more to come, but he would have a different future.

Kagome turned her head to glance straight into Sesshomaru's eyes. "He won't pay for my mistakes."

"Or mine," he added.

If she had failed her duty, it was because of him. Sesshomaru wouldn't let his son be miserable; the vicious circle had to end. If you considered Sesshomaru's history as well, it didn't look good. Inuyasha had lost his parents terribly young and Sesshomaru had been greatly affected by his father's loss to the point that it had ruled most of his life.

She pressed her head against his chest and she wanted to believe in his words. Darkness still lingered and her hopes weren't high. In her heart she had failed as a mother. Nobody should have passed down such a curse; she should have protected him better. Now the simple fact of being close to him was destroying her from the inside.

All she had to hold down was Sesshomaru. If only she could chase the thoughts of his beast away.

"I told you, you would have doubts."

At the change of tone in his voice, her body immediately stiffened. "What- what did you say?" Kagome asked before peering at his mouth.

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow to show his confusion. "I did not speak."

Her heartbeat picked up and she tilted her head to the side. There was no way she had hallucinated those words and especially not that voice. Then again, what were the odds that she'd hear it just after she had thought that? It had to be her imagination. She shook her head softly before forcing her smile. "I guess I got lost in my own thoughts."

"You heard me?"

This time she nearly jumped and threw herself away from Sesshomaru's hold. It wasn't really that she was scared of the beast but more than she feared she was going insane. It was becoming harder for her to tell what her own thoughts were and what was forced upon her by the darkness of the jewel; it was all merging together.

Concern flashed through Sesshomaru's amber eyes and he dragged himself in her direction. He didn't dare to touch her almost as if he was afraid she'd back away from him once again.

"You really didn't say anything?" she asked almost suspiciously.

He shook his head.

"Then why can I hear it?"

His eyebrow twitched, then the corner of his mouth. "He is speaking to you?"

She nodded. "I heard you," she then added in reply to the beast. Maybe this was just –maybe it came with the whole bonding package. If so, she wasn't sure it was one of the perks she would enjoy.

Kagome began glancing around out of paranoia and she could feel the sweat drops dripping down her neck. Her blue shirt was glued to her heated flesh and she ran her tongue over her dry lips. It had no reason to hide from her, it would reply.

The seconds ticked away and nothing happened. The only movement happening around her was Sesshomaru tilting his head forward. "Do you feel it?" she asked worried.

Sesshomaru remained completely frozen yet a strange chuckle escaped him. Kagome held her breath for a moment and watched him as he raised his head. His eyes were glowing crimson and his fangs were bared at her. A hissing sound emerged from his throat and then everything happened too fast for her to realize it was occurring.

Before Kagome could even breathe she was slammed against the floor with a hand wrapped around her fragile neck. The beast's grip on her throat was tightening and she began to feel the lack of oxygen. Her whole body was trembling before she grasped his wrist with both of her hands in a foolish attempt to get him off her.

Why would he do this? Hadn't he claimed his eternal love for her?

Tears were pouring down her cheeks and she was kicking as hard as she could. Death and fear were all that surrounded her while she felt the darkness slowly taking over. She fought for consciousness but he wassqueezing hard enough to break her neck. She glanced at him with an expression filled with questions but she received no answer.

"P-ple," she begged without success.

But it didn't listen.

It just squeezed harder.
