Begin Again : Chapter 15- Runaway Baby

"Alright... I finished packing"

thunder and lightning crackled outside.

"It's about to storm..."

"It's best we go now.... Safer that way..."

"Hey... How about some nice magic to cheer you up?..."

"Its called the Body and Mind aura, it helps your athletic ability for a short time" she said smiling.

"Well we are walking... Why not?"

"Cool beans, alright here we go!"

Chasity began to rise into the air.

"Whoa... That's pretty neat..."

Chasity's head flew back and her body became enveloped in a bright light, blinding Leefah for a second.

"How did you learn to do that?..."

"Fairies can learn all sorts of aura, that being one of the ones I know"

"So what now?..."

Chasity grunted, "I turn this ugly shade of red...."

"Something tells me a certain person would be in love with you.... Wait... Who would that be?...."

Leefah looked over and saw a ball of red light.

"What's this?...."

"Its how the aura affects you, as long as that's there you won't tire out..."

Leefah slid on her backpack quietly, "Cool"

"Is... Is something wrong?..."

"I'm fine"

"Well... If you say so then..."

"I won't be taking my backpack though..."

"Why not?..."

"I wouldn't be able to use my beautiful wings of course... plus cotton candy isn't my color..."

"Right..."

"So, lead the way. Where you go, I go..."

"I know how to runaway... You don't need to tell me..."

FOR THE NEXT SEGMENT, THIS'LL HELP WITH BACKGROUND MUSIC AND YOU MIGHT EVEN CRY... Listen to it on repeat to get the full gist if it ends before the marker I put...

Leefah looked out of her house sadly.

"I can't believe I couldn't even stay here that long...." she muttered

Leefah began walking ahead of Chasity.

Chasity looked at her sadly.

"Leefah!" she called out.

Leefah looked at her feet as she walked.

'We'll head down the hill from there... about a couple hours of walking..."

"Well the aura is actually about to run out..."

Leefah watched at the ball of light faded and Chasity turned back to her normal color.

"Why are you like this?.... We can straighten this out, you'll be fine..."

"Sometimes things can't be fixed.... Sometimes you're born with an unhappy life and you can't change a thing..."

"Oh Leefah...." she sighed.

"HEY! You're that girl! The one from the news! I'm turning you in!"

Leefah looked up sadly, as her hair blew slowly through the wind and rain.

"Help! It's that lady who kidnapped the kids!!" yelled the man.

Leefah looked back.

"Well he was crazy...."

"Let's go down this way..."

"But... All the mud...."

"Then fly....." replied Leefah.

"I wouldn't be able to use the umbrella then..."

"Um... Leefah?...."

Leefah hesitated her reply.

"What is it?..."

"I was only wondering...."

"I was wondering about that mark of the dragon.... Is that why you say you are so unhappy?...."

Leefah ignored her.

"LEEFAH!" shouted Chasity, now angry.

Leefah stopped walking and lowered her head.

"I have been your friend from the time we met.... Please tell me why you can be so unhappy on the inside and yet put on a cheery face for the world that treats you like dirt...."

"Because...."

"If I stay strong and don't break... then I won't fade into the darkness of a cruel world filled with so much beauty awaiting discovery...."

".........."

"The mark of the dragon is bestowed upon certain children in Dragon Valley to symbolize loss... My father and Mother were witches.... I was born with powers at one point but they were taken from me...."

"Why were they taken away from you?..."

Leefah's eyes began to water.

"They were taken because.... because...... I killed my mother...."

The street lamps flickered on.

Chasity bowed her head.

"I'm the reason my mother is dead. She was the greatest witch of her time and I killed her..." Leefah said through tears.

Chasity walked up behind her.

"Leefah... I'm sure it wasn't your fault..."

"According to my father, it was... He took my powers so I would never harm another person again. He's hated me since I was a little girl..."

"Leefah.... You have friends that care about you. Your father is history right now, the past is the past. All that matters in the present, the greatest gift you can get...."

"So stop crying...."

Leefah's eyes began clearing.

"But... My mom....I don't even remember it that well... Only stories she would tell me and the diaries she left for me..."

Chasity wrapped her arms around Leefaha and they both stopped dead still.

The rain hit the ground around them.

Chasity backed away and looked at Leefah.

"Leefah, you have friends that care for you. You have me, and you have Atlas... maybe even Ahora.... So stop thinking people hate you. Leefah, you are an amazing person and you will get through this. Even if you were born with bad luck, it's your job to fight it. Show the world you aren't scared of what it throws at you."

Leefah smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Okay...." she said through the rain.

(Song can stop after this)

"So... the girl finally left her house..."

"With a fairy too.... Interesting..."

"But nothing I can't handle..."

"Time for the main act everyone, the curtain is rising so lets get the show on the road!"

Tophet turned around and began running.

She jumped up onto the house's roof and jumped away, planning her attack.

"Ugh, where is she?"

"It's so freaking hot out here! And it was raining too!"

"Oh I miss her so much!!"

Joker cracks his fingers.

"Ah... Well I can just go ahead and find that Leefah girl.."

Joker turned around, hearing footsteps.

"Is someone there?..."

Atlas stopped walking.

"Joker I presume?..."

"So the girl sent her demon to play..."

"I always wanted a demon to play cards with"

"You're the one responsible for the kidnappings.... um... Murders..."

"Strange... How do you know I murdered them?..."

"You just told me..."

"Oh wow... Sneaky one you did there..."

"Yeah... I try..."

"Well it's pointless now... Yes... I killed the children..."

"Why?... What did they ever do to you?"

"Oh my... The demon is asking why I kill?.... Kind of an odd thing don't you think?..."

"Answer the question..."

"You'll get your answer only if you beat it outta me!"

"With pleasure..."

"Huh..... "

"Tophet should be dealing with the girl right about now then..."

Joker smiled.

"I was hoping to play with the fairy but I guess she should get her girl time...."

"Okay, Let's rest here"

"Leefah wait!"

"You sense an evil soul again... don't you..."

"Just like with Atlas a week ago..."

"Funny how things repeat... isn't it..."

"Leefah, don't be scared. I'm here.."

"If I had my powers I wouldn't have to worry about you being in danger..."

"Leefah, stop worrying. Your mother's time will come, right now, she would want you to be safe.... every mother, dead or alive, wants their child to stay safe. I will fulfill that... you're my best friend..."

Someone began clapping.

"Bravo, Bravo.... Such a wonderful speech."

"What the... Why is she here?..."

"You know her?" asked Chasity.

"Yeah, She busted in on me in the bathroom today" Leefah replied.

"......Okay we need to discuss some things..." Chasity said, face-palming.

"Truly sweet... like a bright red apple...."

"Who are you...."

"Yeah... I never actually got your name Miss?...."

"Why should it matter.... You're deaths will be truly beautiful and yet.. painful... So there's no point in telling a dead girl.."

"But I am a performer..."

"You're dealing with the wonderous acrobat... Tophet Tightrope!"

"Wait... You're one of the people I found for my report! You look a little different though..."

"I great actress knows a good costume when she sees it. Prepare to die you slutty whores who dare hit on my husband. Come to think of it, I think he ran into a demon last I saw... one of yours perhaps?..."
