Chapter 1: The Wish from my Heart
The creature before me wasn't just an ordinary doll or animal, I knew that fact from the start. His beady eyes were emotionless and yet they seem to blaze deep into the depths of my sapphire-blue eyes. The creature swished his bushy tail to and fro impatiently as he waited for my decision. The screams for help coming from my surroundings were silenced out in my mind like time stopped at that point in time. I told him in a loud, clear voice that was unmistakably mine alone.
"I wish to be stronger in cardfights so Kai-kun will notice me"
He cocked his head slightly. "Is that your wish?" he asked again to make sure this was really what I wanted. I could barely hear his pawsteps as he inched closer to me. "Yes" I confirmed it in a single breath. "Contract Formed" he muttered in a soft voice.
I had no choice. No time to consider.
A bright blue glowing orb floated out from deep within me and all of a sudden, I was dressed in a sky blue dress with sharp daggers tied to a belt around my waist. The orb settled around my neck like a necklace.
"Help me, Aichi!" the screams resumed. My heart almost stopped beating when I saw my little sister being trapped so near a monster. "I'm coming, Emi" I cried and bounded forward, my hands reaching out as if they can reach her.
I pulled out those daggers and plunged them into the core of the monster. It gave out an ear-splitting scream and started attempting to attack me. I jumped out of reach, grabbed my little sister and began to run away. It came after both of us in a mad manner, screeching all the way while strange words that made no sense to me appeared at the top of its head.
I put Emi down and braced myself for battle, something that terrify me more than what Emi had just been through. Just then, Kyubeey appeared like magic by my feet again. "You can summon up more than just those daggers just by thinking them up" he informed me. I tried and daggers appeared, floating in mid-air above me just like he said they would. I raised my hand and did a throwing movement. The daggers got sent straight at the monster and it screamed in agony. Then, it exploded.
When the smoke cleared, we were back outside the park.
Emi was unconscious so I carried her on my back. Kyubeey took the time to explain the consequences that goes with my wish. "What you just saw and defeated was a witch. Magical Girls are supposed to fight them and collect grief seeds" he showed me the one belonging to the witch before. "Grief seeds are useful for cleansing your soul gems"
"You mean this?" I pointed at the necklace that was still there despite the rest of my magical clothes disappearing. "Yes" he nodded his head. "I will also be staying with you for awhile to see how you fare. Nobody can see me but you and other magical girls so relax" he added.
As I returned home, my head stirred with thoughts. Tomorrow, I'm going to see Kai-kun and see if my wish has come true.
"If magical girls are said to be born from positive desires like wishes, then witches are born from negative desires like curses. Magical girls spread hope, where witches spread despair and to make matters worse, they can't be seen by normal humans. Doubt and suspicion, extreme anger and hate. They bring seeds of catastrophe to this world"
Aichi: The life of a magical girl is so tiring. Suddenly, I have no time for cardfights
Kyubeey: Aichi, there is a witch's familiar nearby
Aichi: I-I'm on it!
