Since I'm going to start focusing on finishing my older stories, I'all be writing a few new ones that will be updated after others are finished. This is the first of them.

Now onto the story!

Chapter 1

The weak and exhausted girl stumbled around on her feet dragging on and attempting to avoid any more damage to her torn feet and broken leg. She leaned against a wall to regain her balance.

I...I'm almost there...She thought to herself. Just a little more...She moved forward, then tripped on something and fell to the ground with a soft thud.

Sleep was so close to taking her away from this reality. Exhaustion was beginning to win this long battle she'd been fighting. She started to close her eyes, tears threatening to spill over, before hearing something like a bottle roll around.

"Hey! Someone's down here!" Her amethyst eyes flew open, widened in fear and horror and she forced herself to move. She ignored the pain shooting up her arms and legs as she dragged herself around the corner and pressed herself into the wall to try and-

"What are you doing?" A voice said. The girl closed her eyes and waited to be dragged back.

I'm sorry Jibril. The girl thought. I couldn't get away. I'm going to-

"You aren't allowed in this territory!" Her eyes opened in surprise and she looked around the corner to see a woman scolding two people. "The treaty is still in place here. If you try to get in here, your leader is going to punish you."

Who is that... She moved a further away from the three people around the corner. A hand was placed on her shoulder and the girl froze before turning around.

"It's alright." A white haired girl said softly. "We're here to help you."

The girl stared at her the sentence registering. Then she collapsed unconscious.


"Are you sure she's alright?" Someone asked. "She collapsed right in front of me."

"She was exhausted, Ryou." Someone else said. "I'm actually surprised that she managed to stay awake that long."

"I'm going to get something from the other room. Can you-"

"Yeah sure, I'll watch her."

The girl moved and in an attempt to get up. As she began to sit up and open her eyes. Hands pressed against her shoulders and she winced in pain.

"Sorry." The girl looked up to see a tan girl staring at her with violet eyes. "You can't walk around yet. Some of your injuries are serious." She slowly pushed her back down. "You can't aggravate them yet." The girl was now laying on down.

"Just wait for a while longer alright?" The girl nodded. "Good. Now tell us what your name is."

She shook her head.

Another girl, one with white hair appeared. "Oh she woke up! Malik did you do anything to her? Ask her any questions?"

Malik crossed her arms and looked away. "Well..."

"Oh please stop doing that whenever I'm not around!" The white haired girl exclaimed. "Anyone around this area is looking for safety not an interrogation!"

"Fine." Malik replied, tiredly. "I'll let you look after your patient. But when she starts to recover, we'll need answers."

The white haired girl nodded. Malik walked past her and left the room without a backwards glance. The white haired girl watched her leave then turned to face her patient.

"Hello! I'm Ryou." She introduced herself with a warm smile. "I hope we get along."


And that's it for this chapter. I Hope you enjoyed the start of this story. Leave a review on your way out!
