A knock at the door, something so usual, yet life changing.
"Coming!" Aika called. She rushed to open the door, her four-year-old daughter, Akane clutching her skirt. When Aika opened the door, she saw a man standing there. "May I help you?" The man was silent, he looked at Akane and then to her mother.
Suddenly the man took out a gun and shot Akane's mother. Her mother looked at her daughter, and said "Run!" in a quiet, urgent voice, before crumpling to the floor, dead.
"Movver!" Akane shouted, kneeling by her mothers body. She looked up at the man, before running as fast as her small legs would take her. The man was faster though, and caught her. She struggled and wiggled out of his grasp as he was pulling out a cloth. She ran into her room, locking the door, before leaning against it.
Dead. The word ran through her head like a curse. Yes she knew what death was, her father was dead, and now her mother. Who else now? Her brother? No, he was in the military, a SOLDIER, Like father was, she thought, before he died.
The man started pounding at her door. Akane stood swiftly, her green dress playing around her ankles as she ran to the window, jumping out into the arms of a woman. Who is she? Akane thought, before the woman placed a cloth over her mouth, then everything went dark.
Akane awoke in the woman's lap, the man drove the truck towards Midgar at top speed. Akane looked at them.
"Where awwe gowing mithter?" She asked the man. He looked at her for a moment, then looking back at the road, ignoring her question. "Why did you kiw movver?"
"Hush, child." the woman snapped. Akane was silent. She wasn't afraid, though she knew she should be. But, they didn't kill her, so she thought that she would be safe. Akane grabbed a lock of her golden hair, playing with it before the man came to an abrupt halt.
"Out." he commanded. The woman grasped her hand the instant she stepped out of the car. Akane gapped at the large building in front of her. The woman pulled her along behind her as they entered the building. She walked to the elevator and clicked the button that said 63 and up they went.
Once the doors opened again, they rushed over to one of the farthest doors. They knocked twice and a man with dark hair looked down at them as he opened the door.
"We've brought the specimen you asked for, Professor Hojo." the woman said. The mans eyes lit up as he looked at Akane.
"Wonderful. Now, your name shall be-" he started.
"Mizuki." The woman said, making Hojo frown.
"What? Mizuki? Why that?" he snapped.
"Her name is Mizuki." she growled.
"Fine." he sighed, rubbing his temples.
"Where awwe?" Akane asked. The woman looked down and said the three words that would send her to hell.
"Welcome to Shin-Ra."
