Chapter 2

She woke up screaming. Again.. Her landlady had stopped coming to see if anything was wrong years ago. She pulled off her covers and walked into her bathroom. She leaning on the sink and looked at herself. She looked like hell strung over. In laymens terms she looked like crap. She studied herself. Her cheeks and eyes were puffy from crying and the bags under her eyes told the tale of a thousand sleepless nights.

She had had a nightmare again. Most people would feel sorry for her as soon as she said his name. But that wasn't it. He wasn't lording over her in her dreams intending to hurt her. Well at least not in that way. No he was going to hurt her by doing the worst thing he could do. Leave. That was usually when the crying started then the screaming.

She felt like she shouldn't feel any attatchment to him at all. But she couldn't deny that she did.

She sighed and took a pill bottle from her cabinet. She put a sleeping pill in her hand but then decided on two. Then she gulper them down quickly and laid down on her bed.

"Why Orochimaru...?"

She passed out to that thought.
