Chapter 26

Alora’s POV

As Darien was fighting his first opponent, I was thinking on the question he asked me. ‘Where had the chains come from. I wanted to know how they got there, but how to find out. I felt like this was important to know. The only way to get answerers was to ask questions.

“”Xena, do you know how we came to be bound by the chains?” I ask.

No, they’ve always been there, since our birthshe says

Since our birth?” I say questioningly, surprised, making me want to know why.

“Yes, since birth, there was even a chain that was supposed to keep me from coming to you” at this, I’m

shocked to my core.

“What?! You mean I wasnt supposed to be able to shift, to have you with me?” I ask her, panicked at the though of how horrendous my life would have been without having Xena, She’s all that’s kept me together during those really dark pain filled times I wanted to give up and die. I remember when I first heard her voice. 2)

Soaked in my own blood, the fire of so many wounds open. Some half healed, others new, all painful. I would cry silently wondering what I had done to deserve what was happening to me. All I wanted was to be loved, I couldn’t understand why they didn’t love me. Laying in the cold, dark and damp basement. I had heavy manacles around my wrists, they hurt, digging in and cutting into my skin. They were no longer necessary as I couldn’t even get up I was so weak. Why had they done this

to me? I kept wondering, was I really that bad a child? Did I really deserve this?

All I wanted was a piece of the birthday cake made for Sarah’s birthday. So I had asked for one. Mom got so angry, she started slapping me over and over till I collapsed in tears on the kitchen floor. Then she grabbed me by my hair, pulling me back up, slapping me more and more. My face was swollen and bloody, my lips were split, my eyes beginning to blacken. She was shrieking, her words a load roar to my ringing ears. 4)
