Chapter 1: A Beautiful Home
Hi! This is going to be a story about Hao and Mari! I like them, especially! Well, as couples, though. I think they match each other! So, go ahead and read on!
As she sat there, scared and trembling to death, with only a doll. He crept closer, as if dreaming.
It was a girl.
A girl.
There wasn't any girl in this village.
Was she abandoned here?
Well, whatever, I'll take her into my village.
As he crept into the house silently, the little girl felt something or someone's presence with her in the crumpled down building.
"What is this feeling?" she thought.
"Is something going to happen? Is people going to come and save me from here? I'm so scared here." she kept thinking.
"Am I going to be hit again? Thrashed around? Or killed this time? For real? Or just lose my blood one bit by one? Or stabbed and never to be found again? Am I going to just get stashed somewhere in an abandoned building and never to get out?" she kept on thinking.
"Her thought's are weird. And somehow, frightened. Was she being thrown around? Is that why she's so scared?" Hao thought.
"Well, it's dark in here. I'll just make it lighter." As Hao used his power to make a fire lit up in there, the little girl was trying to be not scared.
When a fire was lit, Hao turned to her, and said "I won't hurt you, but please follow me. I won't thrash you around and kill you or anything." as the little girl nodded.
"What's you're name?" Hao asked.
"No." the little girl replied.
"No? Name?" Hao said in confusion.
The little girl nodded.
"I'll give you one. How about Marion? Mari for short." Hao said to her.
Mari nodded.
"From now on, you'll be living with other people, not mean ones." Hao said.
Mari shook her head. "People will chase Mari, till she die. Mari don't die. Mari scared die."
Hao paused before he said anything after her reply. People will come after her if she escapes, right?
That's what she means?
"You'll be safe with me. I'm sure you'll be okay. Just make sure you don't go anywhere else without me. Okay?" Hao asked.
"Mari understands." Mari replied.
As they walked, Mari soon saw a bright place. She suddenly wondered where they were going.
"Mari wants to know where we're going. Mari doesn't know place." Mari asked.
"We're going to a place where there is no mean people, a place where Mari can relax and not be scared." Hao said simply.
"Mari understands. Is Mari going to have friends there?" Mari asked.
"Yes, you'll have friends. Friends who won't be mean to you. Friends that will love you like a family." Hao replied.
They continued to walk, until finally they reached a place where there was bright beautiful flowers blooming. The grass as green can be, with the houses to be colors of all sorts.
There wasn't anything dark.
Everything was all so bright and... somehow, heart warming. A place where you can feel relaxed. There was all kinds of things there. Trees, fruits, gardens, birds, butterflies, bees, water, rivers.
Everything that you need to have a peaceful life.
It was just so beautiful.
Everything.
The sun shone a bright cheerful ray. Mari felt so much at a home she never had before.
The Darkness was going away.
But no.
The Darkness wanted to consume everything. Darkness couldn't let Mari live happily now. She was going to help him bring darkness to the world.
Soon, everything will be in darkness. Yes, everything.
"Mari thinks it's very beautiful here." Mari said.
"Yes, it is. You'll be living with 2 people. They're very nice, so no worries." Hao said as Mari looked at him worryingly.
As they kept on walking, 2 people came over.
"Hao-sama, is she going to live with us?" they both asked.
"Yes, her name is Mari. Please treat her nicely." Hao answered.
"Yes, Hao-sama." they replied.
"Well, Mari, you'll be with these 2. This is Matilda, Macchi for short, and this is Kanna." Hao said to Mari.
"You 2, show her where she'll be sleeping. And make sure that she knows the where abouts. I'm leaving her in your hands." Hao told Kanna and Macchi.
"Come this way Mari! I'm so happy that you'll be sharing with us! We'll show you other places, but first your room!" Macchi said happily.
"Mari understands. Now show Mari where." Mari replied.
Mari's bed was covered with purple and orange sheets. Her blankets and pillows were the color of yellow and green.
Macchi's bed was next to Mari's, facing the head side. Macchi's bed was covered with orange pumpkins and blue stripes. Her pillows and blankets had orange pumpkins and white sheeps.
Kanna's bed was all blue, but different shades.
There was a bookshelf, 3 dressers with 5 drawers, music player, flowers, paper and paints, a big closet, games, and plant. There was stars, pumpkins, blue things, and sheeps hanging from the ceiling. The walls were painted rainbow, and the floor was painted with pumpkins and sheeps on them.
As Mari inspected the room, the darkness inside her decied to start his plan.
After all, he couldn't let her stay happy.
It was his job to get darkness in the world. He couldn't let that Hao guy stay alive anyways. Darkness will just have to control Mari. And kill that Hao.
And consume everything in darkness.
He couldn't lose this one, like last time. If he lost one more time, then that Loneliness would win. He couldn't let Loneliness win again. If Darkness lost, then Loneliness would win and get everyone lonely. After all, that't what she's for.
She has all of the greatest power.
After I win or lose, someone will get to be the powerful king. And that king will be ME. I'll win and be the king. Nothing can stop me now!
Will they be able to get along now? What will Mari do? And will Darkness win to be king? Or will he lose? Read on and review!
