Torn: Prologue
Special moments in my life
Memories, they are
Stay with me always
Do not flee
Forever be a part of me
The sun had just begun its morning routine when my cousins and I had started our journey. We
had planned on camping out on the weekend before we would move. 'The earlier we rise, the
more we can accomplish' the twins had once stated, but were now fussing over how tired they
were, and that they wanted to drive instead because I sucked at it. I just laughed it away. We
were like the best of friends-- even though you couldn't tell.
"Let's camp out there!" exclaimed one of them. I envied her so. She resembled an angel so much
with her beautiful shoulder length golden hair and crystal blue eyes. Even her personality
sometimes was as angelic. Sometimes.
Her twin sneered. "Come now, Neechan! How do you expect us to survive there with norunning
water?" His charcoal black hair fell over his light blue eyes as he laughed at his sister`s
embarrassed blushing. I just smiled slightly and focused on the road ahead of me. Here we go
again, I thought.
"Niichan!! What about your idea of 'camping' in a hotel near the forest?" she shot back-- glaring,
from what I could tell, at least.
"NANI?! What's wrong with staying at a hotel? What do you think, Cuz?" They both turned to
me, waiting. I rolled my eyes and sighed inwardly.
"I don't really care where we stay, but if we planned on camping 'out' then we should really camp
'out'," I noted, watching victory appear on one face, while the other twisted with disappointment.
Things like that always happened, and I would usually have to be the one to settle it. I leaned
back in my seat-- it was going to be a long drive.

"How the hell do you put this piece of crap together?!" my black-haired cousin whined, while his
twin laughed at his antics. He held the tent kit and grumbled. Such a baby! my mind reeled out--
which was quite true. He was acting quite babyish.
"Here, Niichan, let me do it," his sister offered, blonde hair swaying as she giggled slightly. He
turned around and refused to give it to her. I had to laugh. He was acting so stubborn!
"Bakayarou! Let me have it now!" she demanded, trying to grab the kit off of him. He dodged
her-- just barely, though. Next, I realized, would come the 'Passing of Words', as I so kindly
christened it for them.... Add a trademark to that. It was theirs-- sort of, at least....
"I can do this on my own!"
"Hontou ni? Ha! You wish!"
"Oh, bite me!"
"Why the he-"
It happened so quick-- I could barely react. All I heard was the sound of a gun going off-- six
times, I believe. The next thing I new, I saw my cousins falling... falling to the ground with two
wounds in their chests-- blood was everywhere... spurting out... -- and a surprised look on their
faces. I also felt pain in my own chest, and from what I could tell, I ,too, was falling. My mind
was clouded as I heard the mad laughs of our attackers. I lay there as they drove off in my van,
listening to my own rasping and wondering of my cousins.

It seemed like hours when I heard-- or at least thought I'd heard-- footsteps. A light click-clack,
click-clack-- you know-- you know, like... a pair of heavy work boots.... And to top it off, the
sun was going down (damn how slow the sun could be at times, especially when you couldn't
wonder over it without feeling a great pain surge through you), and my cousins had lost
consciousness a while ago. I feared that I, too, would meet that same dreary fate. Suddenly, the
footsteps halted right before me. Straining, I looked up.
It was an older man-- possibly in the later years of his life. His skin was dark tan and worn with
ageing wrinkles. His hair was snow-white and long-- as was his mustache. Blue eyes, he had,
with a slight shade of gray in them, but blue nonetheless. He glanced down at me. His eyes had
no expression in them whatsoever. I felt I shouldn't trust him... but there was no one else....
"Help...," I rasped, placing my hand onto his foot, tears streaming down my face. "Please help us...." I was beginning to grow unconscious.... The last thing I could remember before blacking out completely was his eyes. His enchanting bluish-grey eyes, and how they had suddenly gotten a certain glint in them.... He smiled, and I saw nothing but black.
