This is before Nanoha new she was a mage but it is a completly different story. Just to let everyone know, this is a story of when Nanoha is 9 years old and has been abused her whole life by her family. After a while magic comes into her life and now she has a whole new reason to live.
Chapter one:
It hurts
Nanoha was once again locked up in her bedroom. It was the fifth time this week. It wasn't that Nanoha was a bad girl, but with every single thing she did wrong, her mum and dad hit her. Her brother and sister didn't care, I mean why should they. They just joined in wishing that she had never been born.
At least Nanoha had her own room, that was something, except the only thing in there was an old sleeping bag, her old hair brush, a diary and her second hand clothes piled in the corner. Nanoha was very skinny for her age and had many cuts and bruises all up and down her body. At least her face wasn't that bruised, it was actually beginning to heal.
She had straight brown hair that would go past her shoulders if she didn't put them up in pig tails. She was nine years old with two best friends, Suzuka and Arisa, although sometimes she tried to keep her distance to keep them from noticing her bruised and battered body. As you can tell she would never ever tell anyone about what her own family does to her. She's really selfless and always puts on a smile for everyone unless she gets very aggravated or when she's with her family.
The lock on Nanoha's door clicked and swung open. Right in front of her was her mother, Momoko with a smug expression written all across her face. Oh great, was she going to get another beating?, hopefully not.
"Do the cooking" Her mum said sternly which in other words meant 'Do it or you'll get hurt'. Nanoha silently stood and looked towards the ground and started walking out of her room.
"Yes mum". She saw from the corner of her eyes her mother raising her hand in a fist towards her. She closed her eyes fearfully as the hand came swing down on her shoulder. Whack! She fell to the ground in pain, wincing as she stared up at her mum sadly, pain written clearly on her face. Clutching her shoulder she tried to stand up again, knowing that if any tears were shed her punishment would get ten times worse.
"Next time you talk to me, don't look at the ground, I hope it won't happen again" Momoko glared at Nanoha before stalking off. Nanoha slowly stared after her before quietly lifting herself of the ground. She felt a tear fall down her left cheek, not from pain, but from sadness.
Wincing at the pain all over her body as she took a step she made her way out of her room and towards the kitchen to prepare dinner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Nanoha closed the door to her bed room, she fell to the floor in utter pain. She had new bruises, at least 6 on each arm and leg and numerous cuts that were bleeding. She had screwed dinner up, it was all burnt, so she had received a very harsh beating. Tears freely fell from her eyes and down onto the floor uncontrollably. It hurts, really hurts. I want to be loved and have fun, but I can't complain, many people must have it worse of than me. Nanoha thought as she cuddled into a small ball and waited for the pain to reduce. Maybe, ill meet someone who can take all my pain away, Maybe.
She soon fell into an uneasy sleep, hoping that the next day will be better than today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nanoha climbed up the stairs and onto the bus, giving the bus driver the money her family had reluctantly given her.
"Nanoha, over here" a blonde haired Suzuka said while waving to her. Luckily she was wearing stockings and a jumper so most of her cuts were covered up, otherwise Suzuka and Arisa would totally have a fit. Making her way over to them, she greeted them with a simple hi and sat in between them as usual.
Fifteen minutes later after a lot of talking the bus came to a complete stop. Except the only thing was they hadn't arrived at school yet.
"What's going on" Nanoha said nervously as she turned to her friends, except the only thing was, they weren't there. It was like they had disappeared into thin air. Nanoha looked around and saw that now there was a purple tint everywhere. What on earth is going on? Nanoha ran over to the driver seat and then realized that everyone was gone, not just on the bus, but outside it as well. She pressed the bus button to open the door. She ran out thinking. There has to be someone else except for her.
Wait, she heard some talking, where though, she looked all around and then dreaded the answer, she slowly looked up into the purple tinted sky. There flying right above her, was a boy around the same age as her. He had blonde hair down to his shoulders wearing green shorts and a green top.
"Oi, what the hell is going on?" Nanoha shouted, making a surprised boy nearly fall out of the sky. The blonde haired boy looked down at her in shock. He flew down to the ground and stared at her for a second.
"Why are you here" The boy said confused.
"I dunno, you probably have more of an idea than me" Nanoha said nervously. The boy frowned in thought.
"Well.. " But was interrupted by a enormous explosion sound.
"W-What was that? Nanoha said shakily. The boy quickly took a shiny red ball out of his pocket and gave it to her.
"I will probably need help" He said.
"Why.." Nanoha started but then another loud eruption interrupted her. A large robot, was flying towards them. What the hell!, I am so confused.
"Please close you're eyes and repeat after me" the blonde kid said hurriedly. Nanoha nodded and slowly closed her eyes. As he was about to say something, the robot made another noise, making Nanoha open her eyes. The robot was coming right towards her.
"AHHHHHH" Nanoha screamed as she clutched onto the red tiny ball.
Then suddenly, red light was coming out of her hand. A red shield popped up covering her. The robot bashed into her shield, making her stumble a couple of steps backwards. Dust was flying everywhere.
"Are you okay!" Nanoha heard the boy shout, except she could not see him at all. She fell on her knee's shaking. Her body was pulsing all over, from the abuse she got from her family. The dust started to clear, she could see faint outlines of the boy.
"I'm all right" shouted back to the boy, causing more pain than she already was in. The old cuts started to bleed again. She lifted herself off the ground.
"Imagine yourself in armour and a suitable mage staff" the kid shouted. uh, armor and a mage staff, uh, lets see, um Nanoha thought closing her eyes. She pictured herself in a black skirt going above her knees with leggings under it. A black tight top was on her upper half. Instead of her usual white ribbons in her pigtails ,she had black long ribbons that twisted around until it was neatly tied at the bottom of her hair. A black tiara was also placed on her head.
Her mages staff was all black except with the red shiny ball in the center at the end of it.
Red light engulfed her. She opened her eyes and looked down at her clothes. She gasped, she was wearing the exact same clothes she had imagined!.
'Well done' the voice appeared in her head. It was the other kids voice.. inside her head, what the hell?
'Right now, I am talking to you telepathically, now listen, a couple of other mages are on their way right now, we just have to hold the robot up until they come.'
The robot was coming at Nanoha again, why was it after her? couldn't it go after the other kid for a little while?
As the robot came flying at her, she quickly dodged it. She suddenly heard a noise behind her, she turned around. There was another of those things coming at her. They were both coming towards her. She was to terrified to even move. She new it was going to hit her. A tear slid down her face as she thought of death, not a very nice thought but she couldn't help. As both robots were inches away from her, the blonde kid then realized that she wasn't going to move. He dove toward her, making both of them tumble out of the way. They landed roughly on the ground. It hurt Nanoha a lot more than it did to the boy. Both of them were panting heavily, sweat poured down their faces.
"Glad you guys are all right" a voice said from above them.
"Fate, Chrono" the kid next to Nanoha said thankfully. They were both the same age as Nanoha. Fate was wearing a back mini skirt with a black top and a cape on her back. She has blonde hair that reached her lower back.
Chrono had black short hair. He was wearing long black armor, that covered his whole body.
"There's two of them at once, this has never happened before" The person named Chrono said frowning.
"Come on, lets beat these things" Fate said.
Nanoha, who was still painfully trying to get to her feet, was glad that more mages had come. She wasn't paying any attention to the fight that was going on with Chrono, Fate and the two robots. Her pain wasn't reducing, it felt like a couple of frozen blocks of water had fallen on her back. She looked down and saw many patches of blood on the clothing she was wearing. She wasn't aware of anything except the feeling of blood running down her stomach. 'It hurts so much, I hope I don't faint'
Her vision was starting to get a little cloudy but she refused to faint. If she did what would happen to her then? Her family would give her the worst beating in her life if anyone found out they hurt her.
She heard two pair of feet land on the ground next to her and the kid who had been watching their fight with concern and interest.
"That was a hard fight, but at least we destroyed them" Fate said gladly and then saw Nanoha " Oh hi, um I'm fate, this is Chrono and the one next to you is Yuuno" Fate said happily not realizing how hurt Nanoha really was since she was covering her wounds up.
"I'm N-Nanoha" Nanoha said, wincing as she tried to look at fate and Chrono. The purple tint around them suddenly disappeared in thin air and people started to appear again.
"Uh oh, we'd better get out of here" Yuuno said carefully. Then turning to Nanoha he said" Oh, do you want to come back to our house, we can explain some things their."
All three of them were silent as they waited on her answer. She was about to say no, when she thought that this could be the only time she would realise what the hell happened.
"Yeah, sure" Nanoha said while smiling brightly. The armor and staffs Nanoha, Fate and Chrono had disappeared and were now in their old clothes. Nanoha lifted herself of the ground, making sure not to wince or show any expression of pain on her face. The four of them started walking towards where Fate's, Chrono's and Yunno's house would be.
Ill update this in a week or two, I found that really hard to write. Well, Ill write more soon, Seeya.
