I used to be completely normal, but then it happened. The light tried to over through the darkness, and my friends and I tried to stop it. We did, but it came with a price. A price we all had to pay.

I have short black hair and blue eyes. I am lean and some-what tall, and I'm usually scene wearing a white tank top, mini jacket, and white cargo pants. I also wear a silver belt with a bright blue crystal buckle over my shirt. I was only fourteen when I saw everyone I loved die.

Hello, my name is Oona. And this is our story.

I awoke to the sound of breathing close by, heavy breathing. Freaking out, I jumped out of my bed and got out my dagger that I hid under my pillow. I looked around my room. No one. letting out a sigh of relief, I got up from my comfortable bed and got ready for the day.

I left my apartment and went to the courtyard, feeling the warm sun rays tickle my skin. I was so pale, that I never got a tan nor a sunburn. I looked like a ghost and often scared little kids unintentionally.

"Hey! Oona!" a sweet, high pitched voice filled my ears.

I smiled and looked at the young Guardian of Light, Refia. She has medium length red hair and red eyes. Her outfit is a white long-sleeved blouse with a blue vest, black tights, and thigh-high boots. She had a warm smile that made my heart flutter, although I am a girl. She just had that kind of radiance.

"Hi, Refia. How are you?" I inquired as I walked toward her.

"Good! Great! Fantabulous! I have no more missions to do, so I wanted to hang out with you! You know, girl time! I spend all day around guys- it sucks!"

I laughed at her cute little rant. She always complained. "What about Luneth? I though you two were dating."

Refia's face lite up in a bright red color. "Wh-what? Where did you hear that from? That's insane!" She began to laugh mechanically before mumbling something about killing Arc later.

"I can tell you like him a lot." I said, teasing her.

"Whatever. let's go get something to eat! I'm starved!"

She took my hand and lead me to some random restaurant. They both sat down and continued to talk about the political matters of the worlds.

"So, you know that kid of Queen Gwenivine's, Princess Miki? Well, she's been hanging around one of the Prince of Darkness a lot lately. I heard that they are falling in love." Refia said, in a hushed voice.

I gasped. "A Light and a Dark? No way!"

Refia nodded. "What's worse is that I heard that we're fixing to go to war with the Darks. The poor girl will never be allowed to see him if that happens. How romantically tragic."

You see, there are many different worlds out there. There are the normal, "commoner" worlds, such as Radiant Garden or Olympus. Then there is the Dark World and a Light World, these are the homes of the absolute beings that are made of either Light and Darkness and control it.

They are supposed to balance it out to keep the world's at peace but they seem to be arguing a lot lately. I only know this because Refia is one of the five chosen Guardians of Light. They protect the Light World and do whatever they say- no matter what. Luneth is another Guardian.

I frowned, pitying the girl. Not only is that kind of relationship uncommon, it is looked upon in the Lightanian's (Light-ahn-ee-ans) eyes as a disgrace.

"Refia! Refia!" a voice yelled.

Refia groaned. "What is it now, Luneth? I'm trying to spend time with Oona here!"

Luneth walked up, his silver pony tail bouncing with every step. His purple eyes showed a great concern as he stopped in front of us. He looked at me and gave me a small smile before returning his gaze to Refia.

"We need to go to the Tower. Queen G wants a conference- a new mission." he said, rushed as he grabbed her hand. "Come on!"

Refia let out a squeak as she was hauled away. "H-hey! I didn't get to order anything yet! Sorry, Oona! I'll see you later!"

I watched as they left, a small smile on my face. "If they end up together, then all will be right with the worlds."

I got up and apologized to the waiter before getting up and leaving. I walked the streets of Light World, feeling out of place as always. I was not an absolute being like it's citizens, or a Guardian like Refia and Luneth. I was just a person who got lost from her home world and ended up here.

As I was walking I came across an alley way were I heard two people talking in hushed voices. i stopped and listened to their words, for whatever reason I could not movve.

"Victor, we must find the others. If we don't then who knows what will happen- they could be killed." a female voice whispered harshly.

"I know, Stella. I know. Don't worry, there're close- really close." a male replied, sounding calm and poised. "Who's that?"

I froze.

"You, there, girl." the female yelled, voice loud and threatening. "What do you think-"

She stopped, staring at me. She whispered to the man next to him and he nodded, taking a step toward me.

"Excuse me-"

I ran before he could say anything else. I heard the woman curse rather loudly and start running after me. I didn't look back at her, just kept running. My legs started to hurt- I hated to run, so I didn't do it often. I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out. I pushed forward, not wanting to stop now- metally. Physically, I wanted to.

"Come back! WE're just trying to help you! If you don't come with us, the Guardian's will kill you!"

Many thoughts san through my head. The Guardians wouldn't kill me. I have done nothing wrong and their job is to protect people. Refia is too nicee to end someone's life. She would never...

I looked back, and saw no one there. I quickly hurdled down an alley way and found my house. Locking the door behind me, I fell to the floor, panting heavily. I let out a few whimpers before passing out.

This may not make sense right now but it will. This is BEFORE Birth By Sleep. Like way before. I hope you'll stick with me! Luneth and refia are from ffiii
