Chapter One: Born and Then Left Alone
On an dark and stormy night, a figure dressed in black clothes ran down the darkened streets of Fortuna City. The figure wore a hood to shield their face and hair from the rain that stung you when it hit your skin. The figure also carried a small bundle in their hands. Thunder rumbled as a flash of lightning lit up the dark sky. The figure--now shown to be a woman with long red hair and horizontal burgundy marks on her face--stopped. The bundle in her arms moved as a small whimper came from it. She looked to the bundle, running again to the church off in the distance. The red-haired woman ran under the cover of a tree and looked at the church steps.
Just a few more feet...
The woman looked around then ran towards the steps, walking up the small flight to the door. She laid the bundle down and pinned a note on the black blanket. She took off her a ring around her finger, reaching inside the bundle. "This," she said in a breaking voice, "will what you'll remember me by." She sobbed softly and stood up. She knocked on the church doors loudly then ran off to hid in the bushes. The doors opened slowly as a man dressed in maroon pajamas stood in the doorway, looking around. He looked down to see the small bundle. "What's this?" He kneeled down and opened the bundle slightly. He gasped softly. "Oh my.."
Inside was a baby with midnight black hair and rosy cheeks. Faint horizontal red lines under her eyes could be seen. In the baby's small hands was a silver ring. The man picked up the baby gently as she stirred from her sleep. "I see. An orphaned baby," he said looking at the note attached to the blanket.
Your Holiness,
Please take in my baby girl, Misana, and raise her under your good word. She must not know of what I've done. I abandoned her for different reasons that I mustn't say. Just protect her for me for I could not.
Signed,
Misana's real mother
The man looked to the baby's face as she opened her eyes to show violet irises. "Your name is Misana...what a beautiful name for a beautiful baby." The baby girl giggled, reaching up at him when he walked back inside and the doors closed. The red-haired woman sniffled. "Be safe, my dearest...don't become like your mother..."
