Chapter ONE

"Daddy, daddy, why is mommy cold? Why isn't she moving? Why is she crying?" The young child ,still unaware of the true concept of death, continued to wail. "Why are her wrists so red, daddy!!?!! Tell me!" Her shrill wailing continued silenced only when her father picked her up and cradled her to his chest. The effect was instantaneous, her wailing really had stopped ,yet tears continued to stream down her face.

Sean wracked his brain for an idea. I've got it. "What would say if I told you that I had the final solution? The solution that would fix it all, provided that she was kept unaware that we're influencing her actions."

"How? "

Sean proceeded to tell him. (A/N: I'm a lazy bitch, so you'll just have to wait until later on in the story to find out what the plan is. )

"Sean you're an absolute genius!”

Thank the Gods for small blessings. Sean thought, wryly
