Prologue

Like any other Normal day

I followed the mindless routine that was probably set to forever be my fate…

With a minor adjustment to the position of my jacket collar, I was fully changed. I glanced at my bathroom to see various parts of my hair sticking up. With a sigh, i ran my fingers through my hair. As I did, I couldn't help, but stare at the reflection in front of me.

My wavy layered raven locks reached just a bit past my chest. Shorter layers flared out while the rest ended in soft messy ringlets. My uneven fringe was swept to cover the left side of my face past my button nose, leaving only my right eye to be exposed to the world. It was slanted slightly upwards like a cat, but as interesting as the eye shape was, the murky brown color did no justice for it. Cautiously, I reached up to sweep my raven lock from my face, my reflection doing the same. My nose wrinkled at the sight of my golden hazel eye, it was unusual. What made it look even weirder was the birthmark conveniently located below its outer corner. No bigger than the size of my pinky nail; there laid an almost perfectly shaped, up-side down black star. With an annoyed huff, I fixed my bangs back into place.

Pale skin glowed in contrast to my dark hair, pale pink lips, and hetero-chromatic eyes. It looked like I hadn't seen the sun in ages, but on the contrary I loved soaking up the sun's warm rays on a daily basis. Even though I was very fair, a slight yellow base tone peaked out to show off my Asian Heritage. In my opinion I wasn't pretty, but I wasn't ugly either… I guess you could classify me as… Normal.

Clothing wise, I kept everything I wore fairly simple. My favorite forest green jacket engulfed my frame with its baggy thin material. Since the weather outside was a bit warm, I decided to leave my jacket unzipped and roll up my sleeves. Underneath I wore a simple white button up shirt with a few buttons undone, which showed off the black tank top under. Bottom wise, I wore a simple pair of black shot slacks. And to complete my outfit, a pair of black combat boots over some knee high white socks.

The only thing that stood out from my outfit was the thin silver chain and pendent that was hanging off my neck. A butterfly pendant with the body and lower wings were made out of an intricately designed silver pattern, while the top wings made of pure amethyst. It was absolutely stunning and worth to me even more than my own life, as dramatic as it seemed.

Nothing out of the ordinary for me.

"Lynell you better hurry up or you'll be late for school." Dad's voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"Alright!" I walked out of my bathroom and into my room. I grabbed my guitar case and my messenger bag with ease, but for some reason… something compelled me to take one last look at my room before I head out.

Four cream colored walls. A bed with pillows, dolls, and a blanket strewn all over it. A window covered with lilac curtains. An oak wood dresser that doubled as a night stand. A closet. A desk. Wood floors.

Something compelled me to burn the image of the room in my mind.

Something… just something….

"Lynell!"

"I'm coming!"

Told me won't be seeing my room for a while.

Hello everyone, Osanai Yume here with a rewrite of my prologue.

This story was previously named 'The tale of an usagi and a toumaru'

My reason for the change in title is quite simple.

I felt like I needed a new title to match the ideas I came up for this story.

I had originally wrote this story a few years ago and I left it with just the prologue because I had a brain fart for some reason for it, no matter how enthusiastic I was for this story. So I decided to rewrite it, with a new style, new name for my character (originally Arielle), and a new personality and relationship dynamic.

I hope you enjoy!

BTW I have a oneshot for this story called 'My heart will always remember' which will be rewritten sometime as well

Please Review and Favorite!
