Fallen Angel - Prologue
A loud, echoing slap struck through the silent, seemingly empty house. The girl fell to the floor at the impact, whimpering softly. Silver track-lines made their way down her porcelain white face.
"What's the deal of asking me a Maths question when your mind is off at God-know-where??!!!" the boy yelled at her. She winced, feeling his leg contact with her left ankle in a swift, wind-like kick. It was bound to bruise five minutes later. Her brother huffed and turned to leave the room.
"Weak, he muttered as he reached for the doorknob. The auburn-haired girl stood up quickly. She knew that is she did not manage to complete her Maths homework again, her parents would be called in and that wouldn't be a pretty scene. Excruciating pain shot up from her ankle, paralyzing her for a moment.
"Chotto matte, onni-chan! Onegai, tell me once more - I'll listen, I promise!" she called out desperately. Her brother turned around to glare at her.
"I explain once and only ONCE, " he hissed, "Get that into your thick skull, baka onna." With that said, he stalked out of the room, shutting the door with a resounding slam. The girl fell on her bed, clutching her foot painfully. The dam broke loose and tears began flooding out.
"Doushite? Doushite onni-chan?" she whispered hoarsely, hugging her pink silk pillow to herself as she gazed out of the window, watching the birds take flight into the orange-reddish sky.

This is my first fic that I'm attempting. I will put up a characteristic page of the characters in this fic after every coming chapter. Tell me if you wish to have it together instead.
If it's bad, tell me. Personally, I think it sucks. Please, drop a review. Till then.
