Chapter 1
The world changes fast, and if one isn't careful they'll be left behind; and she'd almost been left behind. She was a slender young woman with short red hair and green eyes. She wore a red sweater, skirt and green hooded coat. Around her neck was a cursed stone that allowed her to see the true forms of certain beings that weren't human; the woman was a sleigh beggy with incredible power. To those who knew her, they were surprised to see that she was still alive. This woman's name was Chise Hatori. "A war that's been going on for over a thousand years." She still remembered the day she encountered one of the monsters, it had been terrifying, and it was this fear that gave her the strength to fight for her life. Chise was walking the night streets of London, she'd just gotten some business done with a friend of hers. "Maybe I should just…" she stopped walking, her gaze went to the alleyway to her right. Neighbors, a lot of them were gathered around something.
"Chise, be careful." Her familiar, Ruth, was in her shadow. The young woman continued forward, her wand was out, and she was ready to make a quick escape if needed. As she got closer she saw that the neighbors were the friendlier ones. They took notice of her. "Is that…" they parted as to let her see what they were so interested in.
"A kid?" a boy who looked to be at least 6. The boy had short unkempt reddish-brown hair. He wore rags, he was dirty, his body looked weak, but what caught her attention was his missing left arm; there was an odd residue around where it was. Someone or something had taken the boy's arm. Touching the sleeping boy's forehead, she quickly pulled away. "This kid, he's gathering magic into his body; a lot of it." Chise was able to put the pieces together rather quickly. His weak body and his unconsciously gathering so much magic in his body that it was making his condition worse. "A sleigh beggy." This boy was rare just like her, and thus had a lot of worth to whoever found him. "You're still just a child with no idea what you are." She sighed. "Of course, you're an orphan." She put her wand away and picked the boy up, he was very light.
"Chise." Her intentions were obvious, but this was to be expected considering the situation. "Are you sure about this, this is a little kid." He said putting emphasis on the little kid part.
"Yes, better us than someone with less than noble intentions for him." She smiled. "Besides, it's been lonely back home." She said. "Now, let's go home." The ground under her glowed green as she spoke the incantation that would take them home. They were gone moments later.
A Week Later – Outskirts of England – Chise's Home
Silver-grey eyes slowly opened to the light that shined onto him. He grasped his chest; his heart was threatening to burst from his chest. "Where—where am I?" he looked around to see that he was in an unfamiliar room. Slowly leaning up, he found it difficult as he only had his right arm. "That's right, someone took off my arm and then left me to die." He said holding his head. "But what happened after…" he looked down to see that there was a light blue salamander-like creature on his lap, it was staring right at him. The creature nuzzled against his chest, it seemed happy. "What are you?" he petted the creature much to it's joy. "Not exactly hostile, are you?" he smiled.
"A lot of them aren't." a female voice stated, there was a young woman in the doorway smiling at him. "That little guy is pretty common around here." She stated walking over to the boy. "Now, can you tell me your name?"
"My name, it's…Allen." He said.
"Allen, that's a nice name, mine is Chise Hatori." She said examining the boy a bit more. "Your body has healed nicely, but you're having trouble breathing; just calm down and don't think about what happened before just think about what's happening now." She said touching the child's forehead. The boy closed his eyes and focused on the present, pushing his past memories deep down until all he could think about was his current situation. After a few moments, he calmed down enough for Chise to take her hand off the child's forehead.
"Where am I?"
"My home, we're on the outskirts of England." She stated. "Now then, let's get you something to eat." She said helping the boy get out of bed. It was hard for him to stand let alone walk, to steps in and he fell to the ground. "And, back in bed we go." She said putting him back. Moments later, the door opened to reveal a young woman with short blonde hair and pink eyes. She adorned a pink Victorian style dress with a matching shawl and bonnet. The bonnet has yellow flowers on each side. "Silver." Immediately, Allen could tell that she wasn't human, she was something else. In her hands was a wooden try with lots of food on the plate it carried. "You knew he would still be stuck in bed." Sliver nodded 'yes' while giving the tray to Chise. "Thank you…" she trailed off as Silver went over to Allen and gently rubbed his head while giving him a slight smile; the boy seemed to light up. When Silver left, Chise couldn't help but smile. "She came in here everyday to check up on you." Chise stated. 'I did too, but I didn't stand over him for three hours straight.' Something about the boy made Silver act odd, he also attracted more neighbors; there were a lot of them gathered around the boy.
"What's going to happen to me?" Allen asked. "When are you going to kick me out?"
"I'm not going to kick you out; you're an orphan with nowhere to go, so you'll be living here from now on." She stated. "Besides, I'm pretty sure that you prefer this than the cold streets, and baths do sound nice; right?"
"You're telling the pros, but what are the cons?"
"That all depends on what you consider a con, so that'll be up to you in time." She said. It was obvious that she wasn't exactly giving him an option, but she did give him very good reasons to stay. Of course, Chise did care about the boy, and she wanted to keep him from dying or falling into the wrong hands. 'Better me than someone else, right?' This was one of the many logical excuses she could make, but it was the one she would choose to stick with. Besides, it would be nice to have someone new in the house; the neighbors felt the same way as well.
