Evil Saga: Chapter 1- Haku's POV (Daughter of White)

"I'm sorry I'm alive."

Those were the words I seem to say all the time. My name is Haku Yowane, from the Green Country. Everyone in my village had beautiful green hair, except for me. The odd one out, with the wrong white hair. I've always gotten complaints about how meaningless my life is...

"I'm sorry I'm alive."

I said to myself, in my favorite place to be, a deep part of the forest with the old tree above my head. It's always just me, alone, praying. Living in solitude is lonely... I pray for somebody, and it doesn't matter who, to be my friend. As I sit there, I wonder, "What is it like to have a friend" and "Why am I alone".

"I'm sorry I'm alive."

And it was here that I met her, under my favorite old tree.

"Aah!" I heard from behind me. Quickly, I jumped and turned to see who was there. It was a girl, with the most beautiful green hair.

"Are you okay?" I asked her as I helped her up.

It all started once I helped her when she fell.

Everything is different between us, with her beautiful green hair and my wrong white hair. Everyone must have loved her, with her gentle voice and smile.

"Why is it that even I you are nice to?"

I bet she intends to feel pity to the me inferior to her. Just like everyone else. But she's different. She hugged me and whispered, "You are the most amazing person here." Those seven words gave me hope, and I burst out into tears.

"Thank you, thank you, so much..." It felt as if even if the rest of this world looked down on me, laughed at me, even hated me, I would still be happy if I had a friend like her at my side. "What.. what is your name?" I asked. She smiled.

"Miku Hatsune. And you?"

"Haku Yowane."

"That's a really pretty name, I love it."

"Thank you, so much. It really means a lot to me..."

We moved out of the village the next day. "We're going to the city, right?" Miku asked.

"Mhm. I even got us a job as maids for a wealthy merchant woman!" I answered. "This is going to be amazing~!"

Miku giggled. "Yes, it is going to be amazing. But it's going to be so different-"

"But because we're together, we're okay~!" We said in unison, then burst out into laughter.

That night, I saw a man with blue hair looking out of the window of the mansion that we now lived in, while i was doing some outside chores. He looked nice, but because him and Miku met, everything became horrible. I keep wishing it never happened...

Turns out that the man with blue hair was the king of the Blue Country, across the sea. He loved Miku very much, so much that he refused the neighboring princess's proposal.

"She's just 14, why would i marry her? Besides, I love you much, much more, Miku." He said with a smile on his face. He bunched up the proposal letter and threw it away.

Out of anger and jealousy, the princess ordered her armies into doing something that would send the countries into war.

"Murder all of the people with the green hair."

I woke up to screams of terror, people crying... not a good sign and/or way to start the day. Running back and forth through the mansion, I searched for Miku in the fire. I looked out the window, to see if Miku had gotten out, and saw the rest of the town in flames too. The flames reached for miles and miles... and I saw a boy at the bottom, with yellow hair, holding a torch. 'He's the one who did this. An order from the Yellow Princess.'

By the time I reached the bottom and got outside, most of the village had already been burned down, and the boy was gone. Miku was nowhere to be found. Everyone had either left or died, except for me, the odd one out, with my wrong white hair.

I was alone again.

"I'm sorry I'm alive."

Things like "I should have been the one to die, not her." and "She doesn't deserve to die, I do" went through my mind.

Why, why?

"I'm sorry I'm alive."

"But please forgive me..."
