"Mama, mama!" A young girl shouted into the night, blood red stains covering her white winter cape. Her pure white hair shined silver in the moonlight, and her natural red eyes were glowing, reflecting the stars in the cold night sky.
"Over here! Hurry!" Her mother called, waiving her hands for her daughter to come with her into the cave. They had been running for days, they being the only ones left of the Tamichi clan.
Tired…
Cold…
These were the only feelings left after that day, the day of the Tamichi clan massacre. The enemy had attacked when the clan had been at their weakest, there had been no one awake in the middle of the night.
They had been safe…
But now, as she was running thru the snow towards her mother, Yuki realised that they had never really been safe. She had known that the clan had been attacked before, but she had always thought that she was safe within the borders of her clan's part of the village. She had always thought that her clan would protect her, that they were the strongest of them all… but she had been wrong…
She had never been safe.
