My name is Aya Drevis. Two years ago, I escaped the mansion of my psychotic father with the help of my true love, Dio, and Arisu, a girl who is almost like our daughter.
I'm now fifteen years old as well as Dio. Arisu is now nine. We built a wood house and have been living in secret in the woods. We'd all been living happily and never expected things to change so suddenly, but they did.
It was just beginning to get dark as I finished preparing the deer that Dio had brought back. I put the venison on a plate for each of us to eat. We all bowed our heads and prayed before digging in.
Dio talked in between mouthfuls of food. "This is great, Aya."
Arisu nodded. "Thanks for the food!"
I smiled. "I'm glad you all like it."
After living as a doll for so long, it seemed so strange to move and eat again, so I was surprised I'd been doing so well. I even became a great cook.
Just then, a heard a knock on my door. I held my breath. Who in there right mind would venture this far into the forest? What did they want? Dio and Arisu watched nervously as I opened the door.
A familiar face peaked in. A tall man wearing a suit. He was bald with red eyes and he had the pointy ears of an elf. It was Ogre.
He smiled a bit. "So you did escape escape, Ms. Drevis."
I stared at him in confusion. "How did you know we were out here?"
He chuckled. "Relax. I'm not here to hurt you. That is, unless you don't agree..."
Dio and Arisu shot up and walked over. I huffed. "Don't agree to what?"
Ogre smiled a devilish smile. "I need your father's help, but he isn't alive anymore. You're the next best thing..."
I scowled. "What are you talking about?"
Ogre's red eyes seemed to glow. "I want you to turn humans into dolls, trapping their souls as yours was."
My heart stopped. "First of all, what do you gain out of that? Secondly, why should I do that?"
Ogre sighed. "In reference to our first question, let's just say I'm not human. I want this world to be consumed in the chaos of my people. Secondly, if you don't obey me, then you'll regret it."
I hissed at him. "What do you mean I'll regret it?"
Ogre smirked and stared deep into my blue eyes. "You'll find out. What's you answer, Ms. Drevis?"
I glared at him. "No way! I'm not going to make anyone into dolls! No one deserves to go through what I did. Find someone else."
He sighed and shook his head. "And so it begins..."
Before I could slam the door in his face, he disappeared in a cloud of wispy black smoke. I coughed as I waved away the smoke.
Dio walked over and took my hand. "What a creep. At least he's gone now."
Both Dio and I spun away quickly as we heard Arisu sniffle. Tears rapidly slithered down her cheeks. We both ran over and embraced her.
"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.
Arisu choked back some tears. "That man had so many evil thoughts...terrible things...blood...screaming...unearthly...he's going to make us suffer."
I didn't know what Arisu meant, but I knew that Ogre was planning some awful. That seemingly kind "business man" wasn't what he seemed.
I wasn't sure what was going to happen next, but there was one thing I was sure of; I'd kill that bastard if he hurt Arisu or Dio. That I'd make sure of.
