Okay, first My Otome fanfic! Woot! Largely based around Shizuru and Natsuki, but will have other people along there too. So sorry this is short, but I wanted to keep it like a skirt: Long enough to cover the material, but short enough to keep it interesting. Hopefully I accomplished that. If not, then hopefully I could improve it with each coming chapter. Anyways, enjoy this little ditty right here and if you're interested stick around a little bit longer. I'll try to update as fast as I can and know that reviews and comments are always welcome. Ta ta for now~ XD
Fire, a burning blaze that was out of control. The heat of that blaze was intense, making it seem as if the world had been taken over by Hell itself. Peoples' screams echoed throughout the smoke-ridden air and hot cinders fell on their forms, burning skin and clothes alike and starting small fires. Witnessing all of this was a girl trapped inside of a treacherous cage, forced to witness every last scream and burn. Her eyes were dead as she watched, safe behind the bars of her cage and unable to help those she once held dear. This was her fate, to sit and watch and be helpless while everything crumbled around her.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled, the first coherent words she had uttered since this catastrophe had started. "I'm sorry . . . Forgive me . . . So sorry . . ."
From high above, a beam lost support for its weight and collapsed in a shower of cinders and flames, spraying the caged girl with burning ashes, making her apology the last thing she ever muttered before being choked out by the consuming smoke.
