Prologue:
Lucy glared at the earthy forest floor that she remembered a little too well from her childhood. Perhaps, some of the only happy memories she ever had were here. The night was cold and foreboding, her skin felt clammy, and her chest ached. She could smell blood lingering in the air, her own blood, it slid from her temple and down her cheek, a bit slanting into her mouth.
She spat out the coppery tasting substance immediately, hateful tears forming in her eyes. Bullet wounds tainted her flesh. Hate filled her heart, assisting it in growing colder yet. She had convinced herself that her love for Kohta could keep her from killing out the human race, but Kohta was just one person wedged between many she despised with all of her being, people who didn't deserve to live.
"Before I die," she muttered to nobody in particular, "I will forever punish the humans."
Her eyes glazed over with sorrow as she remembered Kohta kissing his cousin Yuka. How could he? How could he tell her that he loved her after doing such a vile act? Why couldn't she stand to kill him on the spot for speaking such treachery? Why could she still not bring it upon herself to kill him with her own hands?
A lone tear dropped to the forest floor as she closed her eyes shut. She slammed her fists down, her tired and wounded arms aching in protest. She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Damn you, Kohta!"
Why could she never kill him. Not when he was a child, and not now. She hated humans, but she loved him. She hated him and loved him at the same time. How was such a thing even possible? She was so confused. Though, she did know that in order to fulfill her promise to herself, he had to be punished like all of the humans. She may have been too weak before to bloody her hands at his expense, but she would find a way to do it now.
