Epilogue

Run. That was all the young girl could do. She ran as though her life depended on it. Well actually, it did. She had watched as her clan had been slaughtered, well hidden in her mother's wardrobe. Images of her younger brother flashed before her eyes.

"Help me..." He had said as the light faded from his eyes. But she couldn't. She had watched through the crack of the wardrobe, helpless.

Panting she stopped.

"I-I-I... can't run anymore..." she gasped falling to her knees. In the panic she hadn't bothered to look where she was going. Glancing around she saw trees. Nothing but trees. She heard nothing but the soft wind blowing and a cricket chirping. But she could still smell it. The smell of smoke and blood.

Letting the tears stream down her face she sat, motionless. Listening. The cricket had stopped chirping. At first she hadn't noticed but it had stopped abruptly.

CRUNCH

Her eyes widened as she heard the twig snap. She sprang to her feet and ran. She ran faster than she thought possible.

"Over here! I found her! Hurry!" The words echoed through the quiet night. Or at least what had been quiet. The sounds of feed pounding on the ground seemed to be everywhere.

The young girl had always been fast. Faster than both her younger and older brother. But this time she felt like the wind was working against her, pushing her back. The trees seemed to come out of no were, telling her to stop and give up. But she couldn't. She wouldn't. She didn't want to believe it but she knew it in her heart. She was the last one.

Little Tenten was all that was left of the great clan Ryuu.
