Regalia In Love - Don't Cry For Me (Prologue)
The cold, white snow fell onto the pavement in light sheets, blanketing everything in white. A little girl, whom was thirteen years of age, walked through the cold night, wearing a white short sleeve shirt and light blue jeans. Her knee length light brown hair waved in the wind as she moved forward, towards the house she lived at with her three older brothers and twin sister. Once she reached the house, she walked in saying nothing but, "I'm home."
"Welcome home Asami Miyori" Said her eldest brother, Kiyoshi Miyori.
"Thank you, Kiyoshi. How are Takeo-nii, Yoshio-nii, and Anami-imouto?" Kiyoshi smiled at the young girl as she asked.
"Takeo is in his room, Yoshio is watching TV in the living room, and Anami is at a friend's house. Where have you been?"
"I was playing in the snow," said the little girl, her dark blue eyes glistening with happiness.
"In thoughs clothes though? You really are gonna catch a cold one of these days."
"I know, but I don't really mind the cold. It's really refreshing, I like it!"
"Whatever you say Asami." Kiyoshi laughed a little before he walked away, leaving the little girl smiling in the hallway to the house. Once he was in the kitchen and out of sight, she ran into the living room. When she reached there, she ran to a boy with hair that was a darker brown than hers, and eyes that were a caramel color.
"Hello Yoshio. I know you don't care, and that your acting like I'm not here, but I'm home." The boy said nothing, though, true to her word, Asami was expecting this. She smiled, even if it was a sad smile, and went to her room.
Asami went to her desk and got on her laptop, going to a website named Bookie, and typing in her email and password. Once on there, she checked all her new messages, her replies, quickies, comments, and fans. The only new fan was a girl named Lotus/Lilly Nanase, and Asami sent a quick message to her to say hi. After all that was done, she began typing another chapter of her latest story, which was a sad story about a girl who died and came back, not knowing she was dead.
Writing had almost always been Asami's way of venting, and she would even go so far as to say that it kept her sane. Her characters were hers, and she thought of them like they were her children, something that she had created. In one story, there was a girl who was so happy, she practically spread smiles, and in another, there was one so sad she stayed away from people. There were animals she had created, some that could talk, others that couldn't. She loved it. After finishing up the next chapter, she went to bed.
The next day, Kiyoshi took Asami to the bank with him, but, things did not turn out the way he planned. There was a robbery, and the criminal was armed with a gun, but he went over to Kiyoshi , and took him as a captive. Kiyoshi managed to get out of the man's grip, but the man was still pointing the gun at him. People behind the counter gave the guy the money he wanted, but one decided to hit the button alerting the police.
There was a gunshot, but Kiyoshi didn't die, didn't even get hit, although, when he opened his eyes, he wished he had been the one to take the bullet. In front of him, with a bullet wound in her chest, was his little sister. Now, everyone knows that a lot of people won't survive that, but it's from bleeding out most of the time, and it's not instantly. Asami took the shot for her brother, and the banker grabbed the money, and left. As they waited for the cops and ambulance that would surely accompany them, Kiyoshi went over to her and wrapped the girl in a hug.
"Asami. Why? Why would you do that" he asked, as tears fell from his eyes and onto his sister.
"I can't lose you, you know that. Call it instinct, but I don't think I could have stopped myself if I wanted to. Look on the bright side, maybe someone will get here fast enough to do something, stay positive" Not once, during that whole speech, did the girls voice waver from it's happy tone to show pain. She would stay strong for him, and if it did come to the worst, she would die for him, but she hoped it wouldn't come to that.
In the end, it was too late when the ambulance arrived, because she had lost to much blood, and was dieing in her brothers arms. He rode with her to the hospital, but, she was only halfway there when she fell into her sleep, her last thoughts being about how she was happy he was safe, and how she hoped that no one would feel the need to cry for her. Death was a lot less eternal than she had originally thought.
Okay, so I finished the reading this, and I noticed that I originally said Yoshio took her to the bank, but it was Kiyoshi, so I fixed it. Now it's a little less confusing.
