"I seldom end up where I want to be, but always end up where I need to be" - Unknown

         Amy had been planning her trip to Europe for six year, but when she finally got the money her parents told her "no". She was so angry because her parents never let her do what she wanted how she wanted or go where she wanted when she wanted.
         Several days pasted and Amy was up in her room; still angry. She was suppose to be watcher her little brother Jacob, who is the age of 3. but she was too angry to. All of a sudden she heard a loud "THUD". She ran down stairs to see her little broth, blue in the face, choking on a discarded marker cap. She called 911 then started to tend to her brother. She managed to get the cap out before the medics had gotten there. In the minutes leading up to the medics arrival Amy realized if she hadn't have been home her brother might have choked to death.

         "Hello The pre-recorded tape began " Hello Alice, It's me Sabrina, your biological mother. I hope your adoptive parents gave this to you on your 18th birthday like we agreed on and I hope you don't hate me. You must have so many questions like 'why I put you up for adoption?' Well I'm here to answer them.
         "I was a smart girl, I got straight As, but then I fell victim to peer pressure and starting doing things I shouldn't have." the Recording took a long pause "One night after a party I was on a couch, passed out, and A man took advantage of that....He raped me.....That's how I conceived you. That's why I couldn't keep you, it reminded me too much of that horribly, horribly night. I'm sorry and I love you. Please, Alice, my beloved daughter, what ever you do, don't follow the path I made myself." and with that the recording ended.

         Alice sat there balling her eyes out. All these years her adopted parents had told her, her mother had died in a car accident when she was a baby, but there was a chance her mother, her REAL mother was still out there; Somewhere.

         Father Time stood over a case of hourglasses. These hourglasses had black sand, meaning they belonged to immoral. He sighed softly as another hourglass appeared. He left the hourglass room and walked down one of Hell's many halls until he reached the seventh level, the ice level, the home of Fate. Father time knocked on Fate's large, frozen door. It opened. Father time walked it and shivered and the temperature change.

"Fate!" He called out "There tis another born to the Demon Animals, What tis it's fate?"

A man, Fate, walked over to Father Time "that, my dear friend," Fate began, "I shall leave up to the child. All I know is: Just like it's beautiful mother and forever wounded father, it shall never die."

         As I held her in my arms I felt the life slipping out of her. As flaming hot, salty tears ran down my bloody, bruised face I held her close for one last embrace.
         At the point I thought it couldn't get any worse, and I was right. I could feel the hot thick red liquid that was keeping me alive slowly spill out of the gun shot in my stomach.
         I slowly closed my eyes and smiled. I laid my sister down then myself. I spilled into a sleep that was never going to end next to my sister. We could now be able to be together forever away from the shameful sins of humanity.
