Chapter 1- Lighting Girl Arisa's P.O.V.
As I walked down the cobble road, I noticed people staring at me. I didn't mind the weird looks I was getting though. After all, I was expecting that when I died my hair from its natural chestnut color to vibrant pink and purple stripes. I also expected weird looks when I decided to wear a tight. Black leather shirt, and leather pants, and a long, black coat.
I turned the corner and stopped. My right hand burned the way it always did when there were demons near. Out of pure instinct, my hand went to the black and red choker necklace.
I looked around but saw nothing. The ally was silent. Still, the feeling lingered. My right hand burned so bad that I wanted to cry out. But id didn't.
If what the man with the red hair had said was true, then the scar on my hand could sense the souls of demons- or akuma as he had called them. I couldn't see a soul, but I could feel its pain. I hated the feeling.
I stayed sill for what felt like a long time. I didn't move, and neither did the akuma.
"Innocence activate," I whispered. A whip appeared in my hand. It started to vibrate. The familiar feeling helped me relax for a brief moment.
The akuma lunged from the shadows. It aimed one of it's many guns at me and shot.
I dodged, doing a double back flip to get out of the way of the flying bullets.
"Level two, I said, breathing hard. "Lighting Crack!" M whip started to crackle. Sparks flew from the weapon, landing on the ground and extinguishing before the started a fire.
I lashed the whip forward. It wrapped itself around the akuma's body. I pulled, and smashed the akuma into bits.
I breathed deeply. I hadn't even made it to my destination and I had already killed two akuma.
I deactivated my innocence, and the whip shrunk into a tiny, black and red chocker necklace. I put it on, and continued walking.
Even though I had already memorized the entire thing, I took out the pamphlet that the man in the white outfit gave me, and re-read it. The man's words echoed in my head as I read.
"Show this to nobody," He had said.
I really hated keeping secrets, but I didn't want to mess anything up by telling someone about what I was doing.
I put the pamphlet back in my pocket as I rounded another corner. I stopped walking, and looked up at the giant cliff. I gulped. I wasn't expecting to have to climb.
I took a deep breath, and grabbed hold of the rock. I found a place t put my foot, and hauled myself up. I began to climb.
My heart beat quickly as I slowly made my way up the cliff.
"Don't look down," I told myself. Of course, I did.
I lost my grip on the rocks, and started to plummet towards the ground. I screamed and flailed my arms around.
Somehow, I managed to grab hold of a tree root. I dangled there, not wanting the root to break. If there was anything I hated more than keeping a secret, it was heights.
I activated my innocence again, and I used the whip to grab hold of a fence. I gripped the handle with both of my hands so tight my knuckles were pale white.
"Shrink," I whispered, my voice cracking with fear. I shot upwards as my whip shrunk. I grabbed the ledge of the cliff, and pulled myself up. I collapsed onto my back, breathing hard.
"Never again," I vowed. "I am never doing that again!"
I deactivated my innocence, and stayed there. After a few minutes, I stood up, and looked around me.
In front of me, there was a tall tower with windows lining the entire building, and what looked like bats circled the roof.
"This place is creepy," I said under my breath. I walked towards the building, and stopped when I got to what I thought was the door. There was a giant stone face that seemed to be guarding the door.
Here I am, I thought. I'm finally at the Black Order.
