Bells for Her Tori Azzoli
can't stop what's coming
can't stop what is on its way ~
bells for her, Tori Amos
Prologue
Usagi sat alone in a dark room, collecting her jumbled thoughts. A fancy, four-
pedestal bed; a dim lamp, sitting on a table; and various suitcases, were her only
company. She looked around the area, trying to imprint it all into her memory, for
it would be her last chance to live her former life. Sadness was seeping its way
into her heart, tears welling into her eyes.
In a flash of an instant, her mood dramatically changed, as she realized just who
was at fault in this situation.
Sixteen years after birth, Tsukino Usagi's parents came to her with their 'happy'
news of another child. Not caring much for the announcement, Usagi just plastered
on a fake smile, and nodded, before returning to her studies. Realization didn't dawn
her until later on in life.
Four months later, Usagi's mother was rushed to the hospital for an emergency
cecerean section, delivering the baby early. Usagi was in her etiquette class when
the news of the baby girl's birth reached her.
Usagi had already been blessed with two brothers, twins, Torlean and Trenago; each
seven years younger than she, and both equally loved dearly by their older sister.
But having that the new infant was another female addition to the family, was not music
to Tsukino Usagi's ears. Much though she knew she would love her little sister, there
was the, one, fatal law of Japan.
One family may only have one female child, and one male, for the risk of overpopulation.
The Tsukino's family were spared with Torean and Trenago because, A.) the brothers
were twins, and B.) the Tsukino's were a very wealthy and important family to the
Japanese society. Otherwise, the youngest of the two brothers, Trenago, would have
been sentenced to death.
The law was different in the rare case of another female birth. If the elder female child
of the family were younger than fifteen years of age, the newborn was killed. But if the
eldest daughter was over fifteen years old, she was sold to the emporer for a large sum
of money, never to be seen by her family again.
After the young woman is sold, she is the sole property of the emporer. He is then, free
to do what he wishes with the girl.
Usagi is about so lose more than her life, her family, and her sanity. She is going to lose
her soul.
(AN: wow, this took so long, but it's sooooo short. muchos gracias *doesn't know Spanish*
to the big poo *shakes head* a good person gone bad, once again... :P)
STAY TUNED FOR CHAPTER 1!!!
