Prologue

Lucy's hand shook over her wrist. It held a single razor blade that she'd swiped from Kohta's drawer.

Do it,griped a voice somehow darker than her own. Go on. Try.

Lucy bit down on her trembling bottom lip, swallowed a sob, and started to lower the blade. Less than a centimeter, her fingers cramped, and Lucy gasped at the vector wrapped around her hand. The harder she tried to press the razor to her wrist, the tighter the invisble hand wrapped around hers, until she heard a crack, and bit down a screech, mostly of surprise; she had endured worse tests at the lab where she'd been imprisoned for years.

Lucy flung the razor at the wall and let loose her tears. She was stuck. Her vectors, coaching themselves, wrapped around her, but Lucy took no pleasure from the odd hug; she felt trapped. She didn't fight, though. She simply cried, broken.

. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .. . .. . ...

Upstairs, Nana stared at the ceiling, silent tears off her own, of sympathy, leaking down her cheeks.

. . . . . . . ...

The next morning, Lucy was sitting at the table, eating breakfast, when she suddenly froze and dropped her fork, looking around with wide eyes. The fork made such a clatter that everyone at the table turned to look at her. "Lucy?" Asked Mayu, but Nana grabbed her friend's wrist when she went to touch the older girl.

"Don't move." Nana stated. "Anyone."

Everybody froze, listening to her. After a minute, Mayu began to tremble.

Lucy looked around again, panicked, and gasped. She began to shake her head, and when her hair started hitting Nana and Kohta in the face, She bolted to her feet and sprinted for the front door; she stopped suddenly, in the entryway, and Nana let go of Mayu's wrist. "Run," she warned urgently. "Kohta, run-!"

Lucy screamed, spinning around, grabbing at air. "I can't sense them—Nana-"

Nana's vectors shot out to grab at Lucy's. Immeadiately, she gasped, breathing hard. "You—it's like—you have—super strength- OWW!"

"Lucy, stop!" Cried Mayu.

"I'M NOT CONTROLING THEM!" Screamed Lucy. "OW! NANA-"

"STOP IT—RUN AWAY-"

"I CAN'T, SHE WON'T LET ME-" Lucy's pupils dilated hugely. "KOHTA, RUN-!"

Nana screamed bloody-murder.

"What did you do-" Yelled Mayu, catching her friend as she passed out, falling backwards.

Kohta stood, and took a few steps toward the kitchen when he stopped, frozen.

"NO!" Cried Lucy.

"Don't hurt him!" Yelled Yuka, and stood up, grabbed a plate from the table, and threw it at Lucy's head, trying to transform her back to Nyu.

Lucy fell to her knees, and her head rocked backward. When she stood again, head tipped down a little, but eyes cast upward, she looked directly at Yuka. "Thank you for that," said the pink-haired girl, with a voice of evil.

"Who the Hell are you?" Asked Yuka. "You're not—not Nyu, or Lucy-"

The Diclonius wrinkled her nose. "Ugh." She said. "Such useless creatures, those two. One, too dumb to kill, the other too stubborn. It's such a pain."

"You're . . . you're going to kill my boyfriend?"

Yuka flew through the wall.

Ex-Lucy turned to the boy frozen in a half-run, and tilted her head. Her vector, latched onto his brain, pinched, and Kohta fell.

Mayu saw her waver a little, but in a moment, the Diclonius turned to her.

"Lucy-"

"Call me," said the girl, magenta eyes glinting. "Kaede."
