Ann awoke Sunday morning feeling well rested and ready for a new day. She practically skipped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. She stripped out of her nightgown and jumped into the shower, humming. She had the feeling that today would be another wonderful day. She washed her hair, bathed her body and got out. She went to the closet and pulled out an outfit that she thought was appropriate. An off-the-shoulder white, lace-up shirt and mid-thigh, pleated, black skirt. She quickly brushed and braided her hair, careful to use a nice white ribbon to tie it back. She ran down stairs as she heard the clock chime eight o?clock and sat down for breakfast, but no one was there. Ann waited for about ten minutes before getting up and looking around for Andrew and Isabelle. She tried calling their names, but there was no reply. She ran to the back door and was about to yell out of it when she saw the helicopters. They were military helicopters. Both of them had a large red symbol on them. Death. The symbol said death! Ann almost went white with terror, but then remembered her training. She had to get away, she must live. Civilian lives didn?t matter; she was the only important one. She was about to run when she saw them. Andrew, Isabelle, Louis, Sora, Yuy. They were all outside with the soldiers. Ann?s breath quickened, and her pulse practically stopped when she saw one of the men hit Sora with the butt of a gun. But she didn?t fall; somehow Sora put up with it and stood tall. Ann had made up her mind, she must rescue them.

She crept stealthily out the door and into the forest. In doing so she could position herself directly behind the soldiers, then sneak up on them. She grinned as she crept up behind the first set of soldiers; they all had their backs to the forest. One of them was talking through a transporter.

?Yes, sir! Squads A-F have entered the building, the tears gas was released and they should have the girl surrounded shortly.? The guard spoke in a regal voice. Ann could not hear the reply, nor was she listening. She had her mind on something else, she had to rescue them! Ann?s mind had already figured it all out; she had to get all of them at once. In order to do so, she had to get some sort of weapon. She knew she could handle them barehanded, even if there were a hundred of them, but she didn?t want her companions to know that. They would think of her as a freak, not that there weren?t hundreds of people who thought that already, but Ann didn?t want them to be added to the masses.

Ann crept up behind the guard with the transporter first. She cracked him hard across the neck, heard and crack and watched him slide to the ground. Surprisingly, this really didn?t make all that much noise, and none of the other soldiers were alerted to her presence. She went behind the next to and used the same maneuver, by this time; all of the guards knew she was there. Ann picked up a pistol from one of the other guards and fired at the ones who looked like too much of a threat. Noticing how she had taken out several guards on her own, some of the more spineless soldiers ran off and deserted their ranks. A group of six soldiers decided to team up against her. Ann knew that a pistol was no match for this many, she stuck it in the laces of her shirt and got ready for hand-to-hand combat. Ann grinned as they charged. She had completely lost track of everything. All she knew was that she wanted to destroy them and that was what she was going to do. She didn?t even realize that all of the people she was trying to save were watching with horrified fascination. Ann ducked the first round and kicked out at an angle that struck all six men, sending them sprawling and knocking out the two that she had hit straight on. The four remaining groupers didn?t give up; they ran at her forcefully and pulled out weapons. The front to fired numerous shots before being taken down, none of which were affective at all. The back two had a little more luck. They managed to get off several more shots than their predecessors. Two of the shots fired hit home in Ann?s right side and left shoulder. She didn?t even notice. There were only seven remaining guards. They formed together and attacked. Ann dodged all of the bullets and attacked. She knocked out four guards with her first offensive, the last three with her second. Ann?s consciousness returned when she realized that she had defeated them all. She blinked and regained her surroundings. She had to rescue her friends. She ran over to where they were tied and freed them. She ran a hand over the cuts on Sora?s forehead and made sure that it wasn?t too deep. It wasn?t.

?We should get going.? Ann said in a monotone. Her voice had lost all emotion, as had her face. Andrew stopped dead in his tracks and just stared at her.

?What happened?? He asked shakily. ?I didn?t just see that!? He held his stomach and looked as though he were to be sick.

?It was necessary, Yuy.? Ann replied, walking on. ?Follow me, or I will leave.? She said, turning and looking at him.

?Ann?? Andrew asked. ?It?s me, why can?t you tell?? His eyes were frightened.

?I know who you are. I know all about you. You are Andrew Yuy. That is all that needs to be said.? She glanced back again. Her eyes were dead, they had built up a wall.* ?Liven up.?

?Ann!? Sora said in astonishment. ?What has happened to you??

?Years of bad luck and fighting, ma?am.? Ann kept walking.

?Ann, what happened to the girl I once knew?? Sora begged.

?She died. When her parents were assassinated, she was killed as well. It is on the death record of that accident. Ann is dead.? Her voice carried no emotion even with the mention of her parents? deaths.

Andrew had had enough. He ran forward, grabbed Ann?s shoulders, spun her around, and slapped her. ?Live! You are not dead! You?re right here! Right in front of me! Wake up!?

?Give it up, Andrew. She?s not listening.? Yuy sighed.

?See now, that?s where you?re wrong.? Ann muttered, her eyes had narrowed. ?I hear and I listen to what you are saying! I know who I am! But for all the rest of the world knows, I?m dead! Let?s keep it that way!? She spat. ?I will find you all a safe transport, and a contact, then I will return here, and eliminate those who wish to conquer me.?

?Ann!? Now it was Sora?s turn. ?You must live up to your parents? legacy. They have created a wonderful life for you! Don?t ruin it! You could go and get your account and never have to worry about this anymore!?

?You are wrong, Sora. You don?t understand.? Ann spun around and faced the woman. ?They will pursue me until they believe that I am dead. Do you understand that? I?m not a safe person to be around.? Ann suddenly broke off and started coughing. Coughing blood. ?The bullets.? She murmured. ?The bullets were poisoned.? She collapsed onto the ground, unconscious.

Yes, I know that was rather short...but I wanted to end it there! Seven's long enough...and I did both in one sitting. Also: IGNORE INCONSISTENCIES. When the story's done, I'll take 'em all out. PROMISE! But...I'm not gonna repost...I'm gonna stick it up at my site (hopefully I'll have a domain by then!)...It'll be the same story, w/ no inconsistencies, grammar errors, spelling errors, etc. I'll post here when I get that done...But I have to FINISH the story first. (And keep you in suspense b/c I'm AWFUL at updating regularly!)
