Prologue

In the richest gated community in town, there were only two kids. They were both the same age, with the same birthday, and very similar looking. The boy, son of the owner of the community, had dull flaxen colored hair and dark blue eyes. The girl, daughter of the richest gambler, shared his hair color; however her eyes are a lighter shade of blue.

Every day the two would play outside together till their parents got home from work. Today it was a game of rolling dice to see who could get the highest number, whoever did would get the bag of pennies they had been saving up for the past week. To them it was a fun game that put the two friends against each other, but the boy's parents thought the game wasn't appropriate for their son to play. None the less they played it anyway when no adults were around.

In the boy's hand he held a pair of dice. He was preparing himself to roll them. He'd gotten pretty low rolls, mostly fives, while his friend got eights, nines and tens. She smiled at him as he pulled his wrist back.

"Good luck Len," she cheered as she eyed both her friend and the cloth sack full of pennies.

"Thanks Rin," he replied. "What did you roll again?"

"An eleven."

Before releasing the dice he realized the only way he could win was if he rolled a twelve. He brought down his hand and took down at the dice. He turned them so they down shown six as their top face when Rin wasn't looking. His grip tightened around them, so they wouldn't move when he shook his hand. He dropped them a certain way so that they landed as he planned.

When Rin saw what Len had rolled she covered her mouth in shock. "Len, got a double and in sixes."

He nodded his head before picking up the small sack. "I guess I won again."

"One day I'll beat you," she exclaimed as she stood up. From down the hallway they heard a knock at the door. It was six o'clock, the time their parents always came home from work. Len ran into two pairs of open arms, when Rin just had one.

"Daddy," she exclaimed. "Len beat me again. Can't you show me how to win?"

Her father chuckled as he brushed through his daughter's hair with his fingers. "Not now I'm afraid."

"Why not?" she pouted as she crossed her arms.

"Well Rin," Len's father came up to them. "What your father is trying to tell you that you two aren't staying here anymore."

Rin looked at the adults towering above her with confusion. Len walked over next to her, giving his father the same expression.

"Please," Rin's father begged. "I know I didn't pay the rent last week. Just give Rin and me another week. I'll get my money back by then."

"Stop it already," Len's father snapped. The two kids were stuck in the middle of this argument; neither of them knew what was going on. "You own me big time. The least you can do is move away so I never have to see you or your daughter's lying faces ever again!"

Rin stood next to Len, hand intertwined with his, until her father tugged her away. She cried as she reached for Len's hand, but her father held too tight a grip on her shoulder.

"You know what?" her father replied. "Rin and I will leave. Sell our belongings if you wish. We're done here."

Her father had her half way out the door. She had her other hand wrapped around the door frame as Len ran away from his parents and towards her. However before he caught her hand, his father grabbed him before closing the door behind him.

"Daddy," Rin cried as she pounded on the locked door. "I want to see Len."

"Too bad," he retorted at his eight year old daughter, causing her to cry harder. "We're not welcome here anymore."

He dragged her by her wrist out of the gated community into the city. He searched his pocket for the money he had left. In his hand were a few bills in the other her hand. Many people passed by then causing her to feel uncomfortable. The city was loud and chaotic, unlike the gated community she was used to.

As she looked around with extreme caution, her father pulled her in the direction of a rundown hotel. He pushed open the glass door and held it open for his daughter. At the front desk he placed down the money and the lady handed him a key. Up the old wooden stairs they walked up to room 127. It wasn't very fancy room or anything, just two twin sized beds with a multi colored comforter over each of them.

Rin plopped herself down on the one closest to the window as she examined the city in front of her. It wasn't like what she expected. All the buildings were made of grey stone with no light coming from any of them. The only light she noticed was the full moon, off in the distance.

"Rin," she heard her father call her name. "I'm going to use the bathroom down the hallway. I'll be back."

Before he left the room she noticed him stuffing something into his pocket. It was all black and about the same size as her hand. Curios about what she saw, Rin quietly followed after her father down the hall. As he opened the bathroom door she hid behind a suit case that was around her height. She stood there, waiting for her father to come out and take her back to their room.

She walked up to the door, pressing her ear against it. No sound was to be heard from the other side, until she heard a quiet click. In a flash she jumped back as a bullet shot out through the door. It just barely missed her face and landed in the wall next to her. She knew the bullet came from inside the bathroom her father was in.

"Daddy," she exclaimed. "It's me Rin. Open the door."

She heard nothing from the other side. Carefully she turned the door knob, which was strange because the thought the door would be locked. Everything seemed fine, except for a gun with the trigger released. On the floor was her father, in his hand a letter addressed to her, which she stuffed in her dress pocket. His eyes were closed shut and a red stain covered his chest, slowly spreading.

"Daddy," she called as she shook his shoulder. Nothing. He didn't respond to her calls or move an inch. "DADDY!"

The maids and residents in the hotel heard her desperate cries and a crowd of people ran towards the bathroom. A woman with short brown hair and maroon eyes dragged her away from the scene.

"Let go of me," she yelled at the stranger. "I want to stay with my daddy."

The woman picked her up and carried her out of the hotel as a bunch of police officers drove up. Rin had never seen anything like this before and pressed her face into the lady's shoulder as she tried to block out the loud noise. The lady rubbed her back as she carried her into a police car.

"Don't worry," she whispered. "You'll be alright."
