"We're all born with a purpose. Whether its to spend a life being used and molded into the strongest, or to simply be a pawn in the larger scheme of things. Perhaps someday, you'll find your own."
Tree branches from all directions swatted and cut at me as I forced my way through the forest's thick exterior. There was no looking at the ground ahead of me, for all my eyes could see was the darkness that lie behind me. I could not be found. Not before I fulfilled my purpose.
Was it help I was seeking? No…perhaps it was acknowledgement. Acknowledgement from like individuals who had all shared the same pain and suffering that I had. Yeah, that had to be it.
But whatever the reason was, I was already in too deep to pull back now. I had to reach them, I had to warn them of things to come. It wasn't over yet. It couldn't be…
*THWAK*
A sudden pulse sounded and suddenly I wasn't moving anymore. I found myself lying face down in the mud. I struggled to catch my breath as my heart leapt out of my chest in fear. They had found me…
But my resolve wasn't shattered just yet. I threw my hands out in front of me, clawing at the weeds on the ground and pulled myself a few feet when a large lake fell into my sight. Even if it meant drowning, it'd be better than letting them find me.
I was so close.
*THWAK*
My hand had just barely touched the brink of the watery surface before the blow hit me directly in the head. The impact sent me over a foot and face first into the cold water. My vision had grown blurry and unconsciousness grew ever closer. And then everything was black.
I'm sorry I never got the chance to meet them…the infamous Sakamaki family.
