TORN
Derek’s Perspective
I look down at the little rascal, soundly sleeping on the floor. What a decision… I think to myself. I can’t believe that Jesse is making me get rid of him… I bend down to get Bailey, Carter’s old stuffed rabbit, so I can keep SOMETHING of his to remind me of him. I feel bad having to wake him up, he usually has nightmares and rarely sleeps well, but I have to if I am to do my girlfriend’s willing. “Carter…” I whisper, “Wake up buddy!” He slowly opens his one eye and thumps his tail quietly. “That’s right! Today is a happy day!” Today is happy day… I think, trying to convince myself. What a lie. He slowly and unstably gets up onto his 3 grayish brown legs. His floppy ears perked up just the slightest little bit. He walks up to me and looks up as if he is trying to say, “Hey! What’s up? What are we gonna do today?”
His story always makes my eyes well. He has been abused his whole life, his first owner, he had a spoiled son who wanted to own and know everything. So, he naturally wanted a bow and Arrow as well as an instructor. However, the instructor was late to the first appointment so the man put him out of business. He never did come around to getting is son a new instructor, so I suppose that the 13-year-old-boy tried to teach himself. However, Carter must have been walking around the yard with him, and got in the way of an arrow. One eye left.
Another owner had one hari accidentally left Carter outside when they were about to leave for Phoenix, and ran over him with their car. 3 legs left.
I can only imagine the pain he has been through, and I know I’ll be adding to it sejak abandoning him.
“C’mon Carter,” I mutter as I drag myself down the ratty stairs in my old apartment and into my kitchen. I open the cream colored cabinet and got out the Cinnamon roti bakar Crunch. I open up my susu and fix my cereal.
I whistle 3 times to Carter, a trick that I taught him, so that he will fetch my computer for me. 3 minit later after staring at my overly-soggy cereal, I pull up Google Maps and try to decide where I should go to… abandon him. It should be pretty far away so I don’t see him on the side of the road one hari and pick him up…. I think. This place is perfect! I think. The Sonoran Desert… I think. Not too close, not too far! I then go onto Google cari and find out that coyotes live there!!!
Are coyotes related to wolves?? I think so… And I know that Serigala are related to dogs! So, sejak putting him in this desert with the coyotes, I might be placing him with his long Lost Great Aunt Susan!! That’d be great if I was reuniting him with family!! That’d be great! Now I don’t feel as bad having to drop him off there!! I think, finally convincing myself that I COULD leave Carter in good hands, hands that might just be his family! What a delightful thought.
I realize that Carter is watching me, and I’m suddenly worried that he knows what I’m planning. Then, I realize that he’s just staring at my Makanan and I had forgotten to feed him. I pull out his bag of dry kibble and pour it into his bowl that says “Bad to the Bone” with a little bone painted onto it. He happily ate his breakfast, unknowing of his fate-to-be…

Yeah Uhuh
Yeah Uhuh
Yeah Uhuh
(Verse 1)
I am in Cinta
with the guy who is sweet
till we meet it isn't possible
(Chorus)
We need to meet
before we go Undercover
for each other
We need to meet
before we go Undercover
for each other
(Verse 2)
We haven't met yet
Still Single hearted
thinkin' 'bout each other
everyday
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Now & Then
Everyday, going separate
paths and ways
thinkin' we need to meet
in the middle before we go Undercover
(Pre-Chorus)
We never stopped goin'
separate paths and ways
passing broken hearts and scars
I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Now,
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
I can't stand it any longer
goin' all crazy
when I get really lazy
Undercover
(Verse 1)
We need to meet before we go Undercover
Yeah Uhuh
Yeah Uhuh
(Verse 1)
I am in Cinta
with the guy who is sweet
till we meet it isn't possible
(Chorus)
We need to meet
before we go Undercover
for each other
We need to meet

for each other

Still Single hearted
thinkin' 'bout each other
everyday

I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Now,
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
I can't stand it any longer
goin' all crazy
when I get really lazy
Undercover
(Verse 1)
We need to meet before we go Undercover
Slowly,
Hand in hand,
We stroll towards the beautiful beach,
Never taking our eyes off the red sky.
We are together now,
And we face anything that will take us on,
With determination and unity,
Slowly.
The wave washes us into the ocean,
Taking us in,
Slowly, killing us bit sejak bit,
But we never let go of each other.
When we are together,
We will never die.
There is no chance of that,
It is impossible.
The power of being together
Surges into both of our souls,
And the angry waves crash against
Our faces,
But we still never let go.
We are undivided.
Nothing, ever, can keep us apart,
atau even separate us.
Because, anda see,
We are bound.
We are bound
sejak the ropes of love,
Forever.
Nothing,
No one,
Can cut those ropes.
Not now,
And not ever.

I look down at the snow below
Thinking of its familiar glow
I remember the trees that tore at my wet clothes
And the horrid wind that stung my nose
I tripped and had fell to weak to move
Thinking I had nothing to lose
My eyes began to close and I started to drift away
My mind refusing to disobey
It took me sejak the hand and I felt warm
Almost glad to be taken sejak the storm
Now I watch from up above wondering what I did wrong
And why I was one chosen to sing the Bidadari song
Thinking of its familiar glow
I remember the trees that tore at my wet clothes
And the horrid wind that stung my nose
I tripped and had fell to weak to move
Thinking I had nothing to lose
My eyes began to close and I started to drift away
My mind refusing to disobey
It took me sejak the hand and I felt warm
Almost glad to be taken sejak the storm
Now I watch from up above wondering what I did wrong
And why I was one chosen to sing the Bidadari song
With nails so black scraping away at rotting church pews
I tell anda I Cinta anda lebih than myself
But to understand, from me anda shall receive neither money nor wealth
What anda cari for is not emotion atau passion, it’s much lebih precise
It’s the golden fortune which comes with a price
So anda take the deal and strike my head
Your beating heart, now made of lead
Allow me the peace of mind to soften the last deadly blow
Perhaps this is how our story ends of anda the Raven and I the Crow
(Crows and Ravens, in European legends are known to symbolize death)
I will remember anda always.
Will anda remember me?
That is a soalan for anda to answer,
And not me.
I promise
That I will always
Keep the flame of memory alive.
The fun that we had will never
Be forgotten.
Even on foggy evenings,
The darkest of nights,
anda will always be in my heart.
For I know that anda will help me
Keep the flame of memory blazing
Always.
All the good times that we had,
All the fun that we had,
All the tears that we let out,
All the anger we let out
Will never be wasted.
Because every minit of it
Is in my heart.
I will tend to the api, kebakaran
Every night,
Recollecting all the memories we have
Knowing that the flame of memory
Is the brightest flame of all
And it will blaze on.

It all started 100 years ago...
There was a great clan, Yochi Clan. They kept balance of the Earth. The Enkai, atau Ocean Clan, Riku, atau Land Clan, and the Sora, atau Sky Clan. There were 6 from each clan, chosen to defend Earth.
There Family names:
Wanizame = Enkai
Suppai = Enkai
Tategami = Riku
Nikushimi = Riku
Karasu = Sora
Inago = Sora
They took a pledge to defend the Earth and it's beauties. Until...
Suppai, Nikushimi, and Inago joined a evil organization that threatened the Earth years ago...
Yami Teikoku Boruto
HOW COULD anda DO THIS!!!!????
They put them selves in stasis so they could attack Earth at a later time. But the Heroes put themselves in stasis, too....
