Cursed Fates
Prologue – Welcome To The World
In the darkness of this winter night, where snow falls from the cloudy sky above, a father holds his baby daughter wrapped up in a pale peach blanket, smiling as she holds his thumb in her tiny hand. Her wine red eyes gaze into his, searching for something. Apparently she finds it, and smiles wide, revealing her toothless gums. She laughs a small, cute angelic laugh and the man smiles even wider before holding her close to him. The baby looks around her, smiling at the white flakes that fall to the ground. Reaching out to hold one, she stares wide eyed as it melts in her palm. Sad, she reaches out for another one. This time, her skin turns cold and she smiles as the snowflake freezes in place on her hand, and she can look at the pretty design of it. Her father watches over his shoulder as she practices freezing and melting the snowflakes. He whispers to the girl... "I promise, Miyako, I will never let anything happen to you..." The baby Miyako yawns and snuggles her head into her father's neck, closing her curious eyes to sleep for the first time in this new, bright world.
Around the two the snow continues to fall, creating a white carpet beneath them. The man slowly rocks his child as she sleeps peacefully before looking to the horizon. Dawn is fast approaching. He shields his eyes from the rising sun and walks down the winding forest path, marvelling in every beautiful detail of the world around him, suddenly more aware of how fragile everything is.
His daughter sighs in her sleep, turning her head away from his neck, her breath condensing in the cold air around her. Wondering what she is dreaming of, he continues on his way down the path, leaving light footprints behind him. His brown hair rustled by the wind, he listens to the voices it carries. Wolves far away howl their morning song; birds awaken from their sleep, their young chirping for food. The stars above him twinkle until disappearing from sight as the rising sun begins its quest to dominate the sky.
As the sun climbs into the burning sky, the man quickens his pace, wanting to avoid the light. He walks quietly through the forest, before a large mansion comes into view. The mansion looks magnificent from the outside, and a large pathway leads from the front of the house, separating the trees from one another, and leading down presumably to a main road.
Standing in the doorway of the mansion, a beautiful woman with long burgundy hair watches as her husband and daughter walk up to the house, and smiles when her daughter wakes up and stretches her arms out to be held by her mother. "Juri... She's beautiful." The man says, handing her the baby. The young girl squeals in delight as her mother twirls her around, kissing her repeatedly. "We can't lose her, Haruka. Not again..." Juri breathes, looking at her husband and brother with sad eyes as she holds her daughter closer. "We won't." He vows, and the two enter the house, both silently grieving.
A/N - Depending on the feedback I get I may or may not continue this story, and all my other stories are on hold until I get some replies and reviews (sorry!) Thank you for reading and please tell me what you think!
By the way... This is a Zero x OC and Takuma x OC story, I couldn't fit it in the summary, and the storyline probably won't go past book nine (I haven't read any further... I will try to though!) I'm really excited about this story, so please leave feedback if you want more! ~Red
