Persona 4: Eighteen Year Old Face
Chapter 1: Nightmares and Traveling
Nyx, the mother of all shadows, got up after we all thought we had destroyed her. She went to the full moon that was above our heads and it looked like she fused with it since it looked like a giant eye. The citizens of Iwatodai that were outside screamed in horror and assumed that this was the end of the world. I was about to go to our leader, Minato, to ask what we should do now but something pulled us all down to the ground.
"No, it can't end like this!" I said, attempting to get up but it was useless. I looked over at everyone trying to get up when I saw Minato go up into the air.
"What the hell is he doing? !" Junpei yelled. We all called out to him, begging him not to leave.
"NO PLEASE! DON'T LEAVE ME!" I screamed. It was too late though. He had gone into battle.
I woke up from my nightmare because of the sound of a TV show in the room next to mine. I looked at the clock that was on my nightstand and it was eleven forty. I got up from my bed then walked to the source of the sound. I opened the door to see Markus watching TV even though he should be asleep. He looked up with his violet eyes (the color was the same as mine).
"Markus you shouldn't be awake so late." I told him.
"I know but I couldn't sleep. I had a bad dream." He replied with a frown on his face.
I sighed and sat next to him on his bed. I looked at him, thinking that he resembled his father so much with the way his face looked. He had purple eyes (like I mentioned before) and long brown hair (also like mine). He never knew his dad since he died when he was just a new born, but he isn't very sad since that was six years ago.
"What was your bad dream about?" I asked while I hugged him.
"It was about daddy…"
I frowned then said, "You too huh? Well do you want me to sleep in here with you?"
He nodded then turned off his TV. We both got under the covers and hugged each other.
"Can you sing me that song?" He asked.
I laughed a little at his request. "Sure, anything for you." I could see Markus smile even in the pitch black darkness. I began to sing the song "Never More" for him. When I finished I heard the slow, peaceful breathing of Markus's slumber. I smiled to myself then fell asleep as well.
"Markus come on we're going to miss our train!" The two of us were going to spend a year in Inaba with a friend of my father's. We lived in Iwatodai but I always like to travel and see things with Markus.
"I still have a few things! I'll be down in a minute!"
Oh I almost forgot to introduce myself! My name is Sarah Arisato. Um, I guess I should tell a little bit about myself. I tend to be rude to people if I don't know them. I have been alive for more than eighteen years and stay the same while my friends move on. The reason why I don't age is because I was injected with a piece of a shadow the day an accident occurred. My persona's name is Hina who is a woman that is part butterfly and my arcana is Death (that's what Minato told me). I like to wear a blue cropped jacket, a blue tank top, black jeans, my heart shaped locket, and blue converse. I guess those are the main things you need to know about me.
"Markus get your tiny butt down here now!" Our train left at eleven and it was ten thirty right now.
I heard him run down the stairs then he jumped before the last step. "I'm here! Let's go let's go let's go!" He grabbed a bunch of our things (as much as his little arms could carry which wasn't much) and ran outside. I sighed, got the rest of our luggage, locked the door, and then followed him to the cab I had called.
We had barely gotten to the train station on time. Markus had taken a nap while the train was going and I was just looking out the window. The train made it's finally pick up/drop off before we got to Inaba. Someone sat in front of Markus but I couldn't tell who. I saw their reflection in the window and gasp.
"Minato?" I whispered then turned to them. He looked up but it wasn't him. It was a boy that looked around eighteen with gray eyes and silver hair. How in the world did I mistake Minato with this guy?
"Excuse me?" He asked.
"Nothing." I replied coldly then turned my head to the window again.
"Who did you think I was?"
"I said it was nothing now leave me alone." I picked up Markus then sat on the other side of our seats. He was a heavy sleeper so he didn't even flinch.
"Just trying to make a conversation." The boy said to himself.
I faced the window again and stared at the same eighteen year old face I've had for more than ten years. I hope I can avoid that boy when we get to Inaba, I thought. I'm about to find out that it will be impossible to do.
