When Angels Come Flying In (Part 1)

Author's notes: Since this is the first fanfic I've ever written, I would really appreciate any feedback you left me.

I've always known about my destiny, and of what must be done in order for the people of Earth to survive. However, that doesn't make it any easier.

I lived in America until my 13th birthday. That's when my life was turned upside down. My family wasn't poor, but we weren't rich either. My mom was busy all day as a computer engineer, and my father was just your average business man. I went to school every morning before they went to work, and they came home long after I did each night. But don't think I'm trying to tell you that I was a neglected child. Oh no. My parents spent every free minute they had with me. Maybe that's why it still hurts so much.

It was December 11, and it was a very cold and snowy day. I came home from school as usual to find the house empty, except for Halo who was in the back yard. There was a note on the refrigerator door from my mom, saying that she would be back early to make dinner and spend the evening with me. My father had also promised to come home early for me. I went to my room to start on my homework when I heard a funny noise coming from the kitchen. I thought that maybe mom or dad was home. So I called out, "Mom? Dad? Is that you?" but when no answered, I thought I had just been hearing things. It wasn't until I heard the noise again that I realized something was going on in there.

Never having been one to wait and find things out later, I immediately went to the kitchen to investigate. I got there just in time to see a man in a black mask take a knife to my father's back. He screamed just before he saw me standing in the doorway. All he could do was say, "Run Tianna! Run!" and then he was gone. My mother walked in just a minute later from the front of the house. I can still hear her scream as she saw my father on the floor. The man in the mask descended on my mother, and, much like he had done to my father, killed my mother.

All I could think was, "You killed my parents! You killed them!" But then I heard my father's voice, "Run, Tianna! Run!" So that's what I did. I grabbed Halo and ran. I never went back again.

When I was reborn here on earth, I still had all my memories. I just didn't understand what they all meant. They were almost like a dream I had once had and never forgotten. So after my parents died, I knew exactly where I needed to go. Japan.
