~Reader's POV~

'Another day in this prison' I sighed as I looked out the window of my room. I might have everything but I don't have freedom. And just that afternoon, I heard something I shouldn't have heard.

Looking outside my window I saw the one place I have always wanted to go to, the DWMA. I have always begged my parents to allow me to attend but they refused. Especially my mother, she flinched whenever I mentioned it.

'Would it kill them if I went out for just one day?! I've never been allowed to explore the city I've lived in all my life!'

My mother kept me locked in for a reason. She kept something from me. And I finally had a clue of why after overhearing a conversation of hers.

'I don't want to keep living like this...not if my mother is the one who will decide how my life will go...'

After I heard what was in store for me I spent the rest of day locked up in my room until nightfall arrived. I grabbed the bag I had packed with all the necessary things I needed and quietly left my room.

The whole manor was sleeping and I had planned my escape carefully. I walked past my parents room and stopped for a moment.

'This isn't time to hesitate...I have to leave before it happens' I shook my head and kept waking towards the walk in closet where we stored unneeded things.

It was the only place in the whole house that didn't have a security camera. There was a hidden window in there which was the one way I could escape.

I opened it carefully and slipped through it falling only a few feet to the ground. Without time to waste I ran out to the streets of Death City, out to my freedom.

I made my way towards the DWMA knowing there were only about 2 more hours before dawn, but I wanted to get there as soon as possibly.

I took a shortcut through an alley, which was not a good idea. I walked slowly hearing my footsteps echoing through the alley.

I had a weird feeling...was someone watching me?

Right there I fell back on the floor a heavy weight on me. I was afraid to see who or what it was but I looked up anyways.

On top of me a hungry looking kenshin looked back at me. It had claw like hands and long arms and legs but a small body and head. It's sharp teeth was visibly as it stuck its tongue out.

I had no way to fight back I believed this was my end. I could've screamed but I feared no one would be able to arrive in time.

I waited for the blow that would finish me and just before it came a loud blast was heard as the kenshin was sent flying off me.

I was paralyzed on the floor so all I could do was look over where the blast came from.

A boy about my age stood there holding two identical guns. He was wearing a black suit, matching his black hair that had three white streaks, and had golden orbs as eyes.

'This was the guy that saved my life?' Leading me out of my thoughts was when I saw the two identical guns turn into two blonde girls, I couldn't see them clearly though. The guy with the stripes came over to me and held out his hand.

"Are you alright?"

I nodded and took his hand as he lifted me up. I felt a pain searing through my arm and a sting on my face. 'Guess I did get scratched a bit'

"Thanks I would've been dead if it weren't for you."

I gave him a smile as I went over to grab my bag.

"I should get going though."

He gave me a questioning look but answered me anyways.

"No problem, do you have a place to stay?"

I didn't know how to answer that. I didn't actually. My only goal was to get to DWMA but I had no place to stay.

But I couldn't trust this complete stranger so I guess I decided to lie.

"Yeah I do and I should really hurry up to get there thanks again for the help."

With that I waved at him and ran towards the end of the alley where a glimmer of light could be seen.

The laughing sun was starting to get visible as I kept making my way towards DWMA. I thought of that kid though

'Who was he? I didn't get to know his name. Will I see him again?'
