Chapter 1 ~The Bell Tower & Murder~

I awoke startled by a bell. It's different, a different noise than any bell I had ever heard, though very graceful and pretty. The only problem is, everything's black. Pitch black, except a faint light coming from what looks to be a window, but it's to far away to tell. The noise of people walking is now constant.

Huh? A bright light? A door! Ah! Who's that?

"Madeline Brochera, are you awake?" A tall woman with aquamarine hair and slightly darker eyes said. She wore a white dress that went down to the floor. "Guards, please get her, but please be gentle, she is our guest. Hehe," she laughed a little to herself as she said this. She then turned and walked away.

As we walked out of the dark room I noticed I was in an old Victorian style house, though in what looked to be a recently added on part. The noise came from people outside the room. Outside a large window I could see the bell tower from a big graceful and beautiful tower, just as pretty as the sound the bell made.

I am brought into a big parlor room where two girls, who are most likely twins, are sitting. With short blonde hair and blue eyes, the only difference between them is the ribbon in their hair. The first one had a crimson ribbon tied to the left side of her hair. The second one had a navy blue ribbon on the right side of her hair.

"Ah Fai, she's here," said the first girl.

"I hate when she makes us do her work, it's annoying," Fai, the second girl, said.

"Welcome, welcome. You must not be very happy, after all you woke up in a strange place with strange people taking you to more weird places. Sorry to say, but we only have more bad news," said the first girl.

"Your father, mother and brother are dead. Though your newborn baby sister is still alive, you will never see her again. When your father was young he got into a type of business you can't leave without dying first," Fai said.

"You and your sister are lucky," the first one said, "Normally we'd kill all of the family, but you were asleep and your sister's just a newborn. She won't remember anything when she grows up. Anyway back to the main problem. Your father knew to much and could leek all of the secrets, but for his family's sake, he wanted out. Bad choice."

"Remember in order to leave, you must die," Fai said, "but you're still alive and your father's not. So, we're going to be nice, seeing as even if you told someone we killed your family, they wouldn't believe you. We're supposed to give you new clothes and let you go."

"So... please take the package in front of you, and leave with the guard," said the girl with a happy-go-lucky tone.

Murdered!? Huh? What did I miss. I couldn't be, their alive r-right?

A/N - Yeah, I changed some of it. This story is on Fictionpress to. My friend told me I should upload it here cause I use Kurogane, Fai, and Yuui. Except Yuui is Faye in this story. I think this version is better, but it's really up to you. I also gave it a chapter name.
