Prolouge or just chapter 1- a gift of death

Rain was falling in sheets as a young girl on a unicorn raced though thickened woods. She wore a long hooded cloak of emerald that covered her inner layer of clothing. Her short marroon strapless dress hid the daggers underneath, wheras her brown thigh boots concealed her two katanas which her just within her grasp if need be.

Lightening fashed as the girl urged her unicorn to run faster. She needed to get home. The nymphs were expecting her. Besides that, she had felt a strange feeling arise in her heart a shoet while ago. Remembering this made her urgency increase.

Forget this, she thought standing up on the back of the unicorn and grabbing ahold of a tree branch, I can run faster than this. Quickly and expertly, she flipped herself on the branch and started jumping across the forest on the boughs of trees.

What is this strange feeling in my chest, she wondered, is it fear? But what could I fear? What in this Enchanted Forest could be fearsome enogh to terrify me?

Suddenly, lightening struck the branch she was standing on and the girl started to fall.

Damn it, she cursed as she came to her sences, stopping herself just before she hit the ground.

"Blased lightening," she muttered to herself, "Curse those damn sky apperations and their showoffy ways."

The girl hovered above the ground for a moment before levitating herself above the trees.

She knew this forest like the back of her hand, having lived in it all her life.

She noticed any and all changes in the normal patterns. Her sences, all six of them, were sharpened to a point. Taste, smell, vision, touch, hearing and that extra special phycic power inherited from the mix of nymph and elven blood that flowed freely in her veins. The latter sence always came in handy when she wanted to know something.

And ahe wanted to know something now. The disturbance was slight but noticable. A ripling in the wave patterns of life. Normally she could sence her mothers and sisters energy fields, but now…

Cold sweat dripped down the back of the girls neck and she shivered, suddenly cold.

Please no, she thought frantically, not that. Anything but that.

She landed on the top of a tree and jumped to the bottom. The girl landed on the ground softly and started running. It was a graceful run, but it was a frantic run too. Full of fear.

They warned me, the girls thoughts echoed through her mind. Didn't they tell me what would happen if I left?

But we needed that water, her own thoughts answered back. Without it, we would have dehydrated.

The girl thought back. She had left the water with her unicorn, Dreamer. But that was okay. Dreamer was trained to return home immediately, no matter what.

Suddenly she came to a clearing. No wait a minute, the clearing had small dirt and mud houses. Well at least they were houses. Now they were just mounds of dirt. What had happened? This was her home.

The girl slowed to a walk, studying her ruined home anxiously. Mother, where are you?

A scream ripled through the clear night air. The girl ran towards the location of the sound.

"What do you want?" a hoarse voice whispered. Mother. There was cruel laughter.

"Want?" a young mans voice replied. "Well right now I want you dead."

"You will never have her," the girls mother swore, " I wont let you." Mother, oh mother what is this about? Her hands wandered to her two katana swords, carefully hidden in her boots.

Mother, let me help you. She sent a telepathic message.

No Her mother replied. Run away! Stay back! There was more cruel laughter.

"Yes Miramu, tell your daughter to run. But wait," suddenly a young man appeared, "Ah! There you are. Such a pretty little creature." He murmmered.

The girls grip tightened on her katanas, as she glared at the stranger.

"Who are you?" she asked him as she gingerly approached the man. The fool just grinned at her and gave her a once over. The girl stiffened. You don't know how much I want to kill you right now, basterd. The idiot laughed again.

"Surely you don't want to kill me all that bad. After all," he continued, "we just met."

The girl tried to hide her surprize, but was a split second slow, and the man caught her surprized look and grinned even wider.

The girl stepped forward closer to him and her mother came into view. She caught sight of her.

"Mother!" she exclaimed as she ran to her, "What happened?

The girls mother was on the ground, a bloodied mess. She had cuts and wounds all over her body.

"Kiara…" her mother whispered hoarsely, "Kiara run away. Save yourself. Here have my emerald amulet. It will protect you." Miramu took off her necklace and wrapped it in Kiara's hand.

"Now run." Miramu looked Kiara straight in the eye, "Run to Ningenkai. You'll be safe there. Live with the ningens. But don't forget your heritage." She whispered, tears running down her cheeks.

"Don't ever forget who you are. Find your love and don't ever let him go." Kiara stared at her mother with watering eyes.

"Goodbye Kiara." Her mother said her last words as she fell limp in her daughters arms, "Find him and never let him go. He loves you."

(can I take a time out in this sappy piece and promise that the rest is NOT this boringly sappy)

"Goodbye mother." Kiara whispered to Miramu as she gently set her on the ground and kissed her lips. Slowly she stood and clasped the amulet, her mothers last gift, around her neck. It glowed bright green for a second then went back to normal.

"It's about time," the fools voice cut in, "She seemed to linger forever."

Kiara turned to face her mothers killer pure hatred in her eyes. Seeing her look, the idiot smiled again.

"Forgive me. I don't think we've been properly introduced." He said as he bent down and picked up his sword, "My name is Shishio" he continued as he straightened up.

" You, my lovely lady Kiara, are going to be my wife."

"There is so little truth in that statement its sickening," Kiara replied in a cold voice, "Is it custom to kill your future "wife's" family? Because if so, I wont be with you very long." Shishio laughed again.

"Oh my little lovemaker you crack me up." Kiara glared fiercly at him.

"You see if you don't become my wife, I'll kill you just like I killed your family." Kiara smirked and gave a small laugh.

"I'm not the one who's going to die." She whispered, her voice deadly. Slowly she pulled out her two katanas. Shishio looked at her, a small sence of understanding dawning in his eyes. This was going to be a fight to the death. He smiled to himself.

"Well beautiful, if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get. But I warn you, you're not going to win." Kiara smirked again.

"We'll just see wont we?"

Suddenly she rushed at him, slashing her swords with deadly accurate strikes. Shishio fell to the ground wounded. Kiara stood overhim as he looked up at her.

"A gift from your new "wife"," she whispered, "Death itself." Shishio's eyes widened. Kiara held her katana over him, the tip pointed at his heart.

"Time to die."

"NO-" Shishios scream was cut off as Kiara drove her sword through his heart. She pulled he now bloody katana out of his chest and tilted her head back, her hood falling off her head, and let the rain soak into her skin. She placed her katanas back in her boots.

Slowly she looked around at her ruined home. Death, there was death everywhere. Death in her cold mother and sisters bodies and death in the land she called home.

Kiara startesd to dig holes for her family. Mother. I will follow your last requests. I will find my love in Ningenkai. Whoever he is.

She finished and looked around. Dreamer came galloping up. She turned to him.

"Come on Dreamer," she murmmered stroking his face lovingly, "There's nothing left here for us." Kiara climbed up on him and nudged him forwards toward the human world.

Yea! First chapter! It gets more interesting in later I promise! Review pleeeeease!
