Presenting the prologue!!

Prologue: New Life, Old Enemy

It seemed strange that a whole year had passed; a year of unfortunate souls that found their rightful places in Heaven and in Hell, and a year of luck and chance. Or that was how Apple would explain it to me anyways. Even as New Year decorations were being put up, I could still see Angel's soft eyes watching Apple and myself as we stood on chairs to put up bright lanterns that were lit with an assortion of color.

I guess you can say nothing much had actually changed during the whole year. We all decided to keep our distance from the Chaotix, so that way we wouldn't interfere in places we shouldn't, and we've actually decided to move out of Hell. Sure the Angel of Death gave us all crap as we were packing and sure he wanted us to live somewhere where there weren't a heck of a lot of people; but we all said the same thing to him, "Screw that logic!" So almost a year later, Angel and I have been living on West Side Island, and we've befriended Apple, a young girl who we've adopted into our strange family.

The late afternoon sky had just fallen victim to the arrival of twilight as the decorations were finally put up. Angel had happiness sparkling in her eyes and Apple grinned widely.

"Finally we're done!" Apple remarked as she sat down on the chair she had just been standing on.

"I know! I thought you guys were never gonna get done!"

I was the only one out of us that really didn't talk; don't get me wrong, it wasn't like I didn't like to talk, it was just that there was nothing to talk about. Sure we told the Angel of Death to screw his logic of living in a place with not too many people, and unfortunately we chose a place that was almost isolated from other people... well if you don't count the neighbors that lived almost a mile away from us and the populated town just fifteen miles away, then you can say we were in an isolated place. Apple coming into our lives was probably the greatest thing to happen since she knew what to talk about and how to get someone involved in a conversation.

"Any ideas on what we could have for New Years dinner?"

"Not a clue," I replied with a distracted voice.

"How about we have a feast? With a large turkey, ice cream, cranberry sauce, and other stuff?"

"Sort of like the Thanksgiving Dinner?"

Angel nodded happily as she moved her white bangs out of her eyes. Apple looked at me for a response to that. I found myself not paying attention and staring at the twilight sky that started to get darker.

"Sin? Mobius to Sinister... SINISTER!"

"WHAT?!"

"Jeez, you never get this distracted, even if you're off from killing people," Apple said quietly. "Is... everything okay?"

"Yeah. Of course everything's okay," I replied quickly as I smiled, "I think that sounds like a great idea. Apple, would you like to go shopping for the dinner?"

"But it's fifteen miles!"

"Take the motorcycle then."

"... You remember what happened last time right?"

I blinked, "what happened last-"

"Never mind! I'll be back soon!" Apple swiftly yelled as she dashed out of the small apartment and the sound of the motorcycle starting up was heard clearly. Soon the sound of the motorcycle was no longer there as it sped off.

"Okay, what did she do?"

"She... sort of crashed into a mailbox. The motorcycle made it out alive, but... the mailbox didn't."

I took in a deep breath and sighed, "oh well. As long as the motorcycle is okay then I'm fine with that."

Angel looked up at me and even though she was now... six I think? Maybe it was seven. Ugh, I hate ages. Anyways, even though she was very young she was growing up so fast that maybe when she reached the age eleven she would be almost as tall as I am. Even after Apple and I tried to get her to dye her hair a different color she refused, so now her hair was longer but it was pure white and her eyes were still the same soft color that I remember them being.

"Something's up and I wanna know what it is."

"... I was just thinking about what my New Year wish should be."

Angel smiled, "I know mine! Wanna hear it?"

"No silly, it won't come true if you tell me it. How about you get cleaned up and we'll get ready to make a wish together?"

Angel gave me another smile that made me feel almost bad about lying to her like that; but as she skipped away to her room I knew that I did the right thing. The more I lie, perhaps the better for her.

I looked out in the darkness and asked quietly, "what are you doing... right now Charmy? Angel and I miss you... you don't remember us right? I'm sure you'll-"

"AH!" I heard Angel shriek. My first instinct was to run toward Angel's scream, but something caught my arm. I turned and I felt dizzy, faint, even fearful.

"Y-you're not suppose to be here!"

"..."

"Um..."

Nothing happened and I started to relax slightly.

"Get off me!" I shouted angrily as I yanked my arm away... or tried to anyways. The figure didn't let go and the grip tightened. "LET ME GO!"

"Sinister!" yelled Angel as she dashed in and slashed at the figure. Thank chaos Apple took the liberty of teaching Angel how to fight. The figure backed away and I saw a delicate, fragile hand pointing at me.

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall-"

"Sin... who is that?"

"Definately not the person I originally thought it was," I muttered as the figure pointed at me and I was met up with a large beam of light.

--- A while later ---

"Sinister! Angel! I'm home! I'm... guys?" I could hear Apple calling out. Angel had been crying again, it was obvious by her tearstained face and by how she held me tightly in her small embrace.

I looked up and saw Apple stare at me with wide eyes.

"What?"

"I'm so sorry! I'm so so sorry!" cried Angel as she hugged me.

Apple backed away slightly, "what happened?"

"Apple... I should've told you before... I'm... the Angel of Death's apprentice."

I knew exactly what Apple was looking at and I felt shame. Instead of being in the light blue tank top and dark jeans that I was in previously, I was back in my dark cloak and beside Angel and myself was my old scythe. Angel held me tightly as she would see that I had turned younger, and that I had a mark over my left eye. A scar.

"H-Huh?"

You guys know what happens when someone has a hard time to comprehend something and they get all panicky? They faint. Unfortunately though, we never told Apple about our past. Angel ran over to Apple as she fell to the hardwood floor. She had fainted.
