Chapter 2: The Trials We All Face
Isle of Skye, Scotland...
"Why on earth do I have to be the one to do this?" Sarah MacLeod asked herself for the hundredth time, a hint of a Scottish burr in her voice. "It's not like your gonna wake up anyway. I could just sneak out and be home before Da gets back. Oh my God, listen to me, I'm talking to you like you could hear me. I don't need this."
She was dressed in skin hugging black pants with a low cut maroon peasant blouse. Her blond hair was long and straight, falling nearly to her waist. Her black hiking boots completed the outfit. There was a crash from the center of the room. Looking around the room quickly, her bright blue eyes widened as she noticed what had fallen. On the floor lay her teacup, shattered into a dozen or so pieces.
"What in the world made that fall?" she wondered outloud.
Walking up to the mess, she stole a glance at the woman she was charged to watch over today. Up on the slab lay a red haired woman of about eighteen years of age. Sarah knew the woman was a heck of a lot older than that. Her family had been charged with guarding this secret for thousands of years. The MacLeod clan in general seemed to have many encounters with members of The Third Race. Though she did not know the whole story of how the woman came to this place, Sarah knew that she was the only remaining Unicorn in existence. Where she came from or why she slept this long was mystery to her. Her Da was not as concerned as some about passing on the history lesson.
A low sigh reached Sarah's ears and she gasped as she realized what was happening. Up on the slab the woman began to stir. Sarah was in complete shock. This was going to ruin her plans to sneak out for the afternoon. Worse, she would have to tell her Da about this. Glancing back she noticed the woman was struggling to sit up.
"W-where a-am I?" came a shaky whisper. The woman moaned and lay back down on the slab. Turning her head she saw Sarah staring at her with wide eyes. "Please, t-tell me w-where am I?"
Snapping out of her gaze, Sarah rushed up to the woman and helped her to sit up. "Take it easy; I'll help you over to the settee." This comment earned her a startled look. Gathering her courage, Sarah asked "What is your name?"
"Twilight" was the reply.
"I'm Sarah. Sarah MacLeod." She smiled at Twilight, not nearly as afraid as she had been. There was something calming about the woman. "Your safe here. When my Da gets home I'm sure he will no what to do."
"Where am I?" Feeling as if she should remember something, Twilight glanced at her surroundings. The girl's name jogged a memory of something, but she could not hold onto it. There was also a faint noise drifting through an open window. "Is that music I hear?"
Sarah listened and could hear nothing. She was about to tell Twilight that she could not hear any music when a faint song of someone's bagpipes drifted through the window. Smiling, she replied "I hear it now. That's just our neighbor Angus. He loves to play the pipes. As for where you are, well your on the Isle of Skye. Its an island off the West coast of Scotland. Would you like to see? It's such a rare site when you can see very far. Normally there is a heavy mist."
With her arm about Twilight's shoulders, Sarah steered her toward the open window. The closer they got the more it occurred to her that her new friend was getting stronger. No longer pale and sickly as when she first woke up. Now she wondered what powers the Unicorn possessed. Fairytales made them out to be pure innocence and goodness. Sarah had read one whereas long as the Unicorn remained in his/her forest the forest would stay in enteral Spring. Then there was the one where they had the power to cure any illness with a touch of their horns. Looking over at Twilight she wondered about the horn part. Bangs covered her forehead so Sarah could not tell if the mark was there or not.
"I've heard that music before, but I just can not recall from where." Twilight whispered to the wind. Turning back to Sarah she pleaded, "Please if you know anything about me I MUST know! I feel as though I have forgotten some large part of my life." Tears of frustration gathered in her eyes as she sank to the floor.
Sarah rushed over to her and on impulse gave she gathered Twilight into her arms to try and soothe some of the woman's pain away. She could only guess at what she was going through. How does one cope with loosing your memory?
"Don't worry, please, it's going to be OK. I'll go call my Da right now and he will know what to do. Just stay right here." Sarah rushed to the table and grabbed the phone. Hoping her Da had his phone turned on, she glanced at Twilight to make sure she was alright. She was staring at the phone like it was on fire.
"Da it's me. Listen are you ...... oh you are? .... good cause your not gonna believe this. OK ... bye." Putting the phone down she explained, "He is just pulling up now so let's go meet him."
"What was that box? How can a box hold a person?" Twilight's mind was full of questions. How could one hold a person's soul inside a box without the use of magic? Is Sarah a sorcerer? Yet, even with all these questions she followed the girl out of the room to meet her Father. They both descended the main staircase just as a a tall, dark haired man entered through the front door. He was dressed in black, twill pants with an argyle sweater. She noticed him regarding her with warm brown eyes.
Duncan MacLeod thought something looked familiar about his daughter's new friend. Then it hit him. The sleeping Unicorn! Awake! "You've awakened!" It was a statement, not a question. "Sarah, did you do something?" Knowing his daughter like he did, Duncan wondered if she had somehow awakened her.
Sarah opened her mouth to deny him, then thought better of it. Twilight then spoke up for her. "Your daughter has done nothing. She has been very kind to me."
Seeing the way this girl protected Sarah was an eye opener for Duncan. He knew his daughter did not have many friends and the ones she did have were nothing to brag about. Maybe in this girl, she has found a true friend.
"Well then, I guess we need to come up with a good story about where you came from," coming to a decision. "Unless you have someplace to go, you shall remain here as our guest. I'm Duncan MacLeod. Let's get you some food and we'll sit down and talk."
"Thank you. And my name is Twilight, Twilight MacLeod," she revealed as she followed them to the kitchen. "I only wish I could remember the rest of my life. My name seems to be the only part I can recall."
As the three of them sit, Twilight decides she will stay with them. Only until she regains her memory, for she has no wish to impose on them any longer than is necessary. Duncan argues that since she has no family and her last name is the same as theirs she should join the family. As his daughter. They argued back and forth on the issue for hours. Sarah looked at the clock, it was nearly midnight.
"Da, can we finish this in the morning? It's late and its been a long day for us all."
"Will you show Twilight up to the guest room then?" Duncan asked. As Sarah nodded he remembered what his "news" was. "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I've been given a new assignment at work. Don't you girls get to used to living here because we might end up moving soon." He waited for the news to sink in.
"WHAT??!? WHERE?" Sarah was in shock.
"Japan" Duncan calmly replied.
"Where is this Japan?" Twilight wanted to know.

Me: OK, OK! I know it's short!
Twilight: Well at least you graced the readers with my name. Thats a start.
Yami: Can we eat now? You've starved us all just so you could finish this.
Marik: Roasted Pharaoh anyone?
Yami: Watch it Marik!
Marik: Oooohhhhhh!! I'm just sooo scared! NOT!!
Me: ARGH!! SHUT UP AND LET'S GO EAT! Bye for now!
Me: That bad?
