It happened so fast that she didn't have time to yell, or scream, or even gasp. The knife, covered in her blood, fell to the grassy ground, barely making a sound. She fell moments after the knife, her lifeless body slumped like a puppet with its strings cut.

The man fled the scene just in time. Some movement a few feet from the two of them scared him away. A tall girl with tumbled pink curls and a giant witch hat stepped out from behind a tree.

She came across the girl's body and let out a scream. She covered her mouth with her hands and quickly dropped to her knees.

"Mana?! MANA!! Oh my God...Oh my God..." The girl was in hysterics now, hot wet tears pouring from her eyes.

She screamed again, and in a flurry of tears, screeched and screeched until she was red in the face. When no one responded, she collapsed in a heap of sobs beside her friend, unable to move...unable to think...


End of Chapter 1

Yes it's short; don't blame me for that, all the chapters will be short. Review if you want to, I honestly don't care.
