Prologue – Running Away
"You're not going to change your mind, are you?" Her brother's voice called out softly behind her as she opened the front door.
She paused for a moment, hand resting on the door knob. "Yes. I've made up my mind." She said softly with her head lowered and back facing her brother. "I don't want to be controlled, like the way you were."
"I know. That's why I have helped you behind tou-san and kaa-san's back. You should be living like a normal teenager, and not be deprived of this privilege like I was."
Her brother walked up to her and held her by the shoulders. "Take care of yourself, ok?" His voice and face etched with concern.
She looked up at her brother as tears fell from her purple eyes, blurring her vision. She nodded, "I will, and thank you for everything you've done for me, nii-chan."
She reached up and hugged her brother. "I've already arranged for someone to pick you up at the airport when you arrive. He'll bring you to your apartment and your new school." She nodded as she hugged her brother tighter.
Letting go of each other, her brother reached out a hand and ruffled her brown hair playfully. "Keep in touch, k?"
She nodded once more then took her luggage and walked out of the house she grew up in. She stepped into the waiting taxi and waved at her brother as she headed for the international airport.
A tear slid down her cheeks and the warmth of the moisture fogged her black rimmed glasses. She wiped the tear away hastily and picked up her hand luggage and walked through the boarding gates.
After being shown to her seat by the flight attendant, she sighed silently. It was a sigh of relief. She sat down and buckled her seatbelt, waiting for the plane to taxi and take off. She peered out of the small window as the plane soared through the clouds and headed in a northerly direction, perpendicular to the setting sun. The picturesque view of the city she called home for so long disappeared under the clouds as the plane ascended to higher altitudes. She relaxed into the leather seat as she closed her purple orbs.
Sleep soon descended upon her tired body and mind, chasing her worries away, for now at least…
