The Sinner
Walking around the city streets did Mikan Sakura do. This was what she did ever since the AAO attacked and destroyed Alice Academy. In the fight her friends were injured severely with the use of their alices while Mikan just ran away useless to what she thought of herself. She thought of how useless her alice was and wound up near the new and rebuilt Alice Academy. In the alley the brunette crawled up in a corner and stared. Her eyes welled up as she whimpered. She felt so alone.
' I have nothing now. I feel so useless. I want to be back with Hotaru, Narumi-sensei, Tsubasa and Misaki-senpai. I miss jii-chan. But he's dead……' Mikan thought as she remembered what day it was. It was January 1,……
" Make a wish Mikan…." The brunette whispered as she sniffled. She was now 15 in the dead of midnight. How she wanted to be with her friends. She scanned the alley as she huddled tight. Standing up, she walked over to a mysterious orange book that was thrown carelessly in a corner.
" What is this?" The 15 year old girl wondered. As she leafed through the book, she discovered there was a beautiful gold and orange pen decorated in sakura designs with the initials M.S. emblazoned on the side. She scanned the cover of the book and discovered the cover was decorated in gold and stamped with the initials M.S. again. The bottom of the cover was a cute picture of an orange and cherry blossom.
' This is creepy,… how can I find something like this in an alley that happens to have the same initials as mine and pictures to represent what Mikan Sakura could mean.' Mikan thought nervously. On the only page that had words, the words were " The Sorrowful Life of M.S. to be continued." Mikan gasped as she widened her amber brown eyes. How life was so cruel to her. So she picked up the pen and wrote only three words:
" I hate myself." As she fainted on a sidewalk.
