Prologue

Magnolia. Seemingly a quiet town in the southeast of the state Fiore. Well, looks can be deceiving.

Magnolia is a city divided into two parts. In fact, it was divided into four separate areas, but three of them were so similar that they merged, so that you don't see the difference. The differences didn't even exist between the said three parts. That's why today Magnolia is a city divided into the west and the east side or ,better said, peaceful and dangerous zone.

Western or better known as the peaceful side, actually represents western, northern and southern side altogether. Life there is plain, simple and without too many problems that could spoil the ordinariness of life. Their only concern was that one of them might accidentally wander off into the wrong part of the town.

Eastern or dangerous side of the city is one of those places where it all went the wrong way. Eastern side was a home to criminal gangs. If anyone entered their territory, and did not belong there, in most cases, would mercilessly lose his life. Both sides started hating one another, but lived in "peace". People from the west side looked at those from the east side in awe. They were afraid of them. Out of fear, they followed their rules and have almost never crossed the border between the western and eastern side. Of course, those from the eastern side are free to roam wherever they want and nobody can't do anything about it.

How did lives in the eastern zone look like?

Well, more or less, similar.

The eastern part itself was divided into several smaller zones. The main division was on the left and the right side. Why? Because the inhabitants of the eastern side argued among themselves. Moreover, they argued among themselves more than they argued with people from the west side. Long ago, they founded the first gangs who were against each other. The two of the biggest gangs in the area of Magnolia, that have survived to this day, are Dragons and Blizzards. These two gangs were in constant quest for revenge.

How did it all start? Someone does something wrong, they shoot him, it's followed by revenge, and then the other revenge, and all over again. Unless someone gives up, but such cases are rare. However, giving up was not in the vocabulary of Dragons and Blizzard.

Anyone who lives in the east side puts his life in danger. Burglary, theft, fights, kidnappings, murders...the list goes on. Every day you could hear shooting and the police couldn't do anything to take the evidence on time and arrest the culprits. All that they would find would be a dead body, the only witness to the crime.

Life as a teenager was hard there. It would be the most difficult for those who would join a gang. They get into a gang because they think it can protect them. They don't understand the harm that joining a gang can bring. Once you get in, there's no way out. Many have tried, but it ended badly for them.

What's worse, most of them end up in gangs. There's only a few of them who actually go to college. Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, hookers...it was their lifestyle.

It was his lifestyle, in which there is no place for her, but he still tried to keep her with him. And she, she was just an ordinary girl without parents, without anyone who could warn her how much the east side can be a dangerous place for someone like her.

This is not a chapter, just an introduction to the story. It gives the background details, so you could understand the situation. I have no idea how I came up with this, but I think it's a good idea for an AU fanfiction. Review and tell me what you think about it. If you think it sucks, feel free to say so...or don't, lol. The next chapter will be up in three days. Or maybe even tomorrow.
