Prologue
The first memory that I have when I was a child is of a stormy night inside a forest where I was staring at a girl with long blond hair and beautiful and yet sad burgundy eyes. I was sitting amidst a pool of red liquid, the same color of her eyes and she was standing beside me, holding my hands tightly while she looks at me with sorrow in her eyes. I stared at her, trying to understand what is happening, knowing nothing, remembering nothing…
"I'm sorry, this is my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here." the blond girl said.
I continued to look at her blankly, saying nothing, feeling nothing… The girl kneeled in front of me and strokes my face, tears streaming down her eyes.
"I don't want to do this but this is the only choice we got. I can't lose you too, Nanoha. I won't be able to bear it." she said while hugging me strongly.
I leaned closer and rested my head against her shoulder. Tears also started falling from my eyes even though I don't why she is crying, why I'm crying. All I knew was, this person is saying her good-byes to me and I didn't want it. I felt my heart clenching, as if something is crushing it to pieces.
"Even if we are not together I will always protect you. I will watch over you and I will never forget you. You are my heart, my soul and my life. I love you, Nanoha."
She cupped my face and gave me a kiss. It began with a kiss that said I'm sorry, a kiss to say good-bye and a kiss to say I love you. She didn't need to say anything because I felt it in my blood, in my body and in my heart. All the words that she couldn't and wouldn't say were conveyed by her touch and by her lips.
"Be happy, my destiny."
That was her last words to me before I lost consciousness. And now, six years later, I still couldn't forget about that night… about her. I have a loving and happy family, friends that support me and a life that I'm content with but deep inside my heart I still feel that something is missing. My memories before that night, my memories of that girl… I want to remember them all. Every night, I sneak out of our house and go to the forest of my memories. There, in front of the entrance, I will lie down on the ground and look at the stars. I want to see that girl but I was afraid to enter the place that holds my first memory. Because if I do, I feel like something big will unravel in my life. Something that she desperately tried to protect me from.
A/N: Hi guys thanks for reading… I'm currently writing my other story "The Forgotten Sky" when I suddenly came up with this idea, I was stuck in the middle of my writing and couldn't continue because this plot wouldn't leave me alone. I don't know if I will continue this or not, or what rating should I use but for now let's stick with "Rating: T" and see what will happen... Feel free to leave some comments or suggestions. Thank you... :)
