Chapter 1

Author's POV

Hitomi is a 17 year old girl who is different from everyone else. She lives in Japan with her adoptive parents, who force her to predict the future people. She hates to do it every single day of the year. She is even considered the outcast in her school. Her adoptive parents abuse her so much that Hitomi has to go into the hospital to get treated for most of the injuries that are inflicted upon her. Whenever Hitomi has to go to the hospital for treatment, her adoptive parents, Richard and Andrea Kanzaki, always lie to the doctors about what happened.

Before Hitomi has ever been adopted by the Kanzaki's, she lived with her real parents before they died in a car accident. She had a loving family with an older sister and a younger brother that were very kind to her because Hitomi always has visions about what is going to happen. She has no idea why the visions come to her every single day and her family didn't think that she was a psycho or weird because they know that she was special, and they loved her for that. Hitomi had foreseen that they were going to be in a car crash, but didn't know that her family was going to die because of it. She told her family what is going to happen right after the vision and later that day, the crash happened. Her parents were killed on impact and her brother and sister died on the way to the hospital.

The doctors were able to save Hitomi, but she was in a coma for a month. While she was in the coma, she kept on seeing the same thing about a strange place that has two moons shown in the night sky. There was also a bright pillar of light connecting this strange place to the big blue moon in the sky. "What is going on? Is this really going to happen? Does this place really exist?" Hitomi kept on asking herself in her mind while she was in the coma.

When she woke up from the coma a month later, the doctors told what happened, what shape she is in and what treatment is going on. Hitomi's left leg has been fractured in two different areas, and she had to have surgery to fix it. From that day, Hitomi became very quiet and preferred to be alone and not to talk to anyone.

After a few months, Hitomi was adopted by the Kanzaki's and has lived with them for a year. During that year with the Kanzaki's, Hitomi has been hurt physically and emotionally from the first minute she stepped foot into the house.

Ever since the beginning of a new start, Hitomi has been abused quite a bit. The only things that her adoptive parents did not do were drug injections and immoral actions. Hitomi has never inflicted pain upon herself by cutting her wrists.

She hasn't seen any visions during the time that she woke up from the coma until she was adopted and the visions are the same as when she was in the coma. Seeing a strange place with two moons in the night time sky, a pillar of light connecting the big blue moon to this place.

Hitomi joined the track team at the same time she started her new school. She was at the Kanzaki's for a month before the next school year started. Hitomi enjoys running whenever she wants even though she is recovering from an injury every time she runs. Both her school and track uniform shows off her scared and bruised legs (scared from the car crash and bruised from the beatings she get). Hitomi is now one of the fastest runners on the team and she can also jump far distances (about seven to eight feet). Every student and teacher knows her and knows what's going on in her life and they do nothing to help her.

Hitomi's POV

The track meet is coming up fast and I am always at the track practicing whenever I have free time. Even though there is the time when everyone has practice, I still practice every free second that I have. I have to go to work that my evil adoptive parents own to tell people their future or fortune. I then go run at the track for an hour and go to the house that is my abuse chamber. And every night I have the same vision of a strange place that does not exist on Earth. I see two moons in the sky and a beam of light connecting to this place to the big blue moon. The strange thing about this vision is that it keeps on getting clearer and clearer every time it happens. I even see that in the beam of light, it looks like there are two figures descending towards the ground. After the vision happens, everything goes black.

Everything is dark when I wake up again. I was on my bed, but I don't remember how I got there. I looked at my alarm clock and it read 3:00 am. It was thirty minutes before it was set to go off. Today is Friday and there is practice today after school. I got out of bed and turned off the alarm so that it does not go off. I gathered my clothes for today and went to take a shower to clean the cuts on my face from the punches from last night. After I was done in the bathroom, I went back to my room to do my homework from the day before. Two hours later I am done and it was close to the time that students could come to the school grounds. I put on a pendent from my mother's will as a present that was supposed to be for my eighteenth birthday. After I put the pendent on, I grabbed my bags that were by my bedroom door and headed to school.

Today I have just graduated from high school and the track team is still going on throughout the summer. No one has ever congratulated me on anything because of fear of my adoptive parents. It does not really matter to me because I am used to it. There is also an empty seat on either side of me during the ceremony and then everyone left when my name was called because my name was called last.

I am at the track for practice and feeling at ease. I had to do the run and long jumps first and it was my turn to urn. It was the last run for the day and I was waiting for the signal to go. When the gun went off, I bolted off of the blocks and tore down the track. I was in the lead when I saw a pillar of light appear in front of me and then a boy about 15 wearing armor and holding a sword. He looked at me and gasped while I was getting closer to him. I ran right through him and all went black.
