His Sunflower: Prologue
I clearly remembered the day when I fell into that woman's grasp. I became trapped by her smiles, her voice and her attitude towards myself. It was that day when I said four simple words to bind myself to the Espada as her servant. With four words I signed my name on an invisible contract I failed to read throughly. Even so, I served my mistress with a firm resolve and learned from her. Unknown to most is the idea that to that sunflower, I was the sun...

"Hey you!" My back straightened up at the sudden call of an Arrancar. I looked up, wondering who had the nerve to address me as such. The Arrancar before me was a woman, but the number four tattooed on her right shoulder proved her to be of a great rank. The woman before me was Risette Ridell, the fourth Espada...
I was slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of an Espada before me. All the Arrancar in the proximities and myself bowed forwards to show our respect for the Espada. "Ridell-sama," I acknowledged with a slight bow of the head.
"What business does the great Risette Ridell-sama have with lowly Números like us?" Grimmjaw inquired, slightly even annoyed by the fact that he disliked being lesser than a woman. "Shouldn't the Espada have some top secret mission to carry out?" he inquired sarcastically.
"As you should all know by now, Zeitta couldn't keep up as my Fracción. Zei resigned. Thus, it would seem that I need a new Fracción," the Espada said nonchalantly as the tall Arrancar to her left got down on one knee. So Zeitta gave up, huh? "Ulquiorra Schiffer, was it?" she turned back to me.
"Yes, Ridell-sama," I replied curtly.
"You seem rather promising. What do you say, Ulquiorra?" Risette inquired with a slight smile creeping into her visage.
"Hmph, he'll do you no good. Don't be surprised if he lasts shorter than Zei," Grimmjow scoffed but everyone knew that he was irritated by the fact that I would hold a rank above him.
"I would be honored, Ridell-sama."
"Good. Zei, you are dismissed." Zeitta, who had been kneeling on her left walked backwards slowly, away from his former mistress.
"I am eternally sorry." Zeitta muttered with his head hung.
"You're still welcome to return when you feel more up to it Zei." Risette was too forgiving. She believed too strongly in second chances, I always had a feeling that her soft side would lead to her downfall. "Ulquiorra, we're leaving." And with that simple command I rose to being the Fracción of the fourth Espada, Risette Ridell.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Short, I know. It's only a prologue, it's meant to be short! Risette's last name is pronounced "Riddle". I just felt like spelling it in a strange way XD Sorry the prologue is so awkward, I'm a little to lazy to go back and edit. Sorry! Anyways, obviously this is a UlquiorraOC fan fiction. Also, just so you know I have no idea whether Ulquiorra was a Fracción or a Número.
Disclaimer: Obviously, I do not own BLEACH or any of its characters. Risette Ridell, on the other hand, is a spec of my imagination.
