Everything happens so fast....loss of a loved one, loss of virtue, loss of purpose. To get away from it all a change of scene is needed, a change of pace. They say time heals all wounds but that isn't always true. Sometimes, you need the touch of another. Like the saying goes...Misery loves company.
So here I am, relocated to Japan, trying to catch my breath. It's funny, I feel like I'm drowning though I'm nowhere near water. I feel like I'm being drug under; washed away in the current. Everyone is moving on. Why can't I? I'm being left behind in an endless sea of blue.
The cities here are always full of life. Vibrant colors seem to outline every building. It's so overwhelming. This foreign place is nothing like home, where my heart still rests. I was forced to move away. Apparently the death of my twin, my dear Niko, was too much for me to handle. My parents thought it was best to get me out of Germany, away from that sickening experience. But sadly it won't help. When she faded away my mental state, my urge to keep moving forward, faded too.
How rude of me to not introduce myself. I'm Nao, age sixteen, female of course and of German decent. My looks aren't exactly normal to say the least. My skin is the color of ivory, my eyes a luminescent cyan. I usually dye my hair an ebony color in contrast to its original white. Albino? You guess right. I'm somewhat frail and fragile...very unlike how my sister was. She was always so full of life....so outgoing....the exact opposite of me.
At least I had one stroke of luck in my life time. That instance? The meeting of my best friend, Nana. She's currently the only person I'm really close to, the only one I really talk to. She doesn't mind how withdrawn I am nor how quiet I can really be. She tries to include me in everything she does, calls me on a daily basis, actually cares. She's so similar to her, my sister, with slight differences of course. Did I mention how lovely she looks? Nana has the prettiest golden locks and soft emerald hues. She keeps her hair at a moderate length, pin straight of has a somewhat unique style, but usually sticks to the skinny jeans and little tee's. We're from two different worlds with two different personalities. Maybe that's why I like her so much.
Anywho, I started going to a new school recently, Konan High I believe it's called. The people there are nice but I really can't bring up the courage to say more than a few words. I feel so out of place there. Nana isn't there for me...there to protect me from them. I see things, people that aren't really there. Not all the time of course. But I hear them calling...moaning...crying...beckoning. Sometimes I believe I'm slipping away. (Clair-audience & Divine intervention). It wouldn't be in my best interest to talk about it though. I wouldn't want to be labeled a psychopath already.
But maybe coming out here wasn't a total waste. There some interesting people, people who always cause a scene. At least I won't be totally bored out here. Everything happens for a reason. Who knows, I may just have a purpose out here.
