I was high in the sky when I could see again. Looking down, I saw Kyle hugging my lifeless body, his head entangled in my white hair. A remembered what he said, how he used to keep me warm. He was right. When I first came to the elemental institute, I was scared and cold almost every night, and he would hold me, as I feel asleep. At the cabin, lying in a sleeping bag next to William, he kept me warm. Then, I was shocked back to the present, watching Kyle stab himself, and then his life passed too. When the green eyes lost their life, I cried again. But my sorrow was short lived; eventually my mind was thrown back, into the past, back to the first day.

Back in the cabin, I saw Kyle, holding my hand. I was staring dreamingly at William at that moment, while Kyle was doing the talking. Time skipped to that night, where I slept on the second floor. My body was curled up, and I was sound asleep. Kyle, on the other hand, was staring up at me, sorrow in his eyes. More flashes, and I saw William and me, being happy, with Kyle in the background, as sad as ever. I lost count of how many moments were shown, but I felt horrible. I had left Kyle for William without even knowing it. As I realized this, another flash came to me. This one was different; this one I could tell was present time.
"Well, that got rid of them," William was saying to Silvia quietly.
"A shame though, she was so gifted," said Silvia.
"You saw them bring doom on us, it had to be done!" shouted William, before looking around to see if anyone in the field noticed them shouting. Everyone was too busy wondering where Kyle and I had gone too
"I saw their soul bring doom on us, it may have been a different body. We'll never know now, since I can't sense which soul is in which body," she explained calmly to him, with knowledge in her voice.
"Hopefully there souls won't transfer," he spat at her.
"They could," she said.
"Oh well, we're getting rid of these damn atrocities one by one. Soon the world will be rid of these runaway ninjas, and then ninjas all together." I couldn't believe my eyes! William had been playing the nice guy this whole time. He was actually a fiery dictator, which matched his element perfectly. Kyle was the pure one; Kyle was the one I belong with. Another surge in my mind, and the image vanished.

I woke up in a strange house, strange bed, and a strange room. Yet it was oddly comforting.
"Catherine!" I heard someone call. A middle-aged female was probably the owner of that voice. After a few moments, I realized that was my name. More memories flooded into me, 14 years of being Catherine, all mingled in with the 19 of being Cathy.
"Yes?" I called back.
"Time to go, Kit's here!" she called again, and I realized that she was my mom. Sitting up, I got dressed quickly, and caught a glimpsed of myself in the mirror. I had the same long white hair that I had as Cathy, with bangs reaching my eyes, and ends reaching my waist. But my blue eyes were gone, replaced by pale purple ones. The child's face threw me off too, but it was cute. Going out to meet Kit, I ushered him outside.
"Did you-" I started.
"I did!"
"I can't believe-"
"I'm sorry!"
"I don't-"
His lips pressed against mine, and my heart jumped through my throat. It was the way it was supposed to be. When his mouth left mine, I took a few breaths before hugging him tightly.
"You did the right thing," I told him, head against his chest. He still looked the same, with sandy brown hair and caring green eyes. Though this time, his sandy hair was highlighted by rare red streaks, natural and gorgeous.
"We have to go back to them, to end them," he said gravely, lifting my chin up to meet my eyes.
"But… our families-"
"We'll be back. But we need to do this."
Gazing up at those pure green eyes, I agreed. The cabin of ninjas needed to be ended, no matter what. They killed their own kind, caused Kyle to kill us both, so we needed to take them down. We had no clue whom they would kill next.

We left the next month, leaving a note for our parents. Finding the cabin was much easier this time, since we had traveled with them for so long. Retracing steps we had already crossed in a different body, we finally appeared at the cabin. This time Becky had greeted us, but her normal brown eyes were sadder than last time I remember seeing them. After she invited us inside, I took a quick count. 6 people plus us. They had killed another 4 members. One thing I did notice, though, was that William and Silvia were still there, still alive. We reintroduced ourselves, as normal ninjas running away from home. The difference this time, though, was that we stayed together. And this time, we knew who would be the next to die.
This was based of a dream I had x - X It was hard to explain a lot of things .... usually in dreams I don`t know something then I know it and I dunno how I learned it .....
