I'm all alone

Chapter 1

"Wake up Ayame!" The first view that met my eyes was that of my brother, his head tilted and his eyes closed. The same old silly smile was on his face.

"Why?" I mumbled as I tried to go back to bed.

"Cause were going Christmas shopping/birthday shopping for a certain some one," He says. Yup my birthday was on the 28 of December. As soon as he uttered those words I shot out of bed.

"O.K I'm up!" I shout as I grab a pair of jeans from my dresser and run to the bathroom to swap my P.J. Pants for it. For a 6 year old I was pretty independent.

-After the shopping-

When we were done Christmas/Birthday shopping we all pilled into the car, my three year old brother Kazuhiko in his car seat in the middle, me on the right and Toshiro on the left. While we were driving a car coming up a head was swerving. I closed my eyes and heard the loud crunch of the metal, my mom and dad's screams and a large crash. My head was hurting like heck and so was my stomach. My leg was numb also.

Toshiro yelled "Ayame get out of the car!" he was unbuckling Kazuhiko. As I unbuckled myself I looked to the drivers seat already knowing my parents were dead, they were dead the instant the other car hit us. I jumped out of the car, as did Toshiro with Kazuhiko in his arms. The person who hit us took of right after hitting us, a hit and run accident. The bystanders immediately called 911. As I stood up I fell down again, with a short scream. My leg was broken. I looked over at Toshiro only to see him being lifted into the back of the ambulance, a shard sticking out of his stomach. My eyes widened with shock, not only from his injuries but of how much he was bleeding. I looked to my left to see a woman carrying Kazuhiko, who was crying. When I looked I understood why. A part of the wind shield was sticking out from his head, and he too was bleeding a lot. I then started to cry, I cried as the put me in the ambulance, I cried as they stitched me up, as they put a cast on my leg. But as I entered Toshiro's/Kazuhiko's room I waddled over to my little brother and held his little hand, while his heart monitor began to slow down. As he grew colder he still had that look of wonder in his eyes. Then his heartbeat stopped. I cried harder, then I turned to Toshiro in the next bed and hugged him. Thats when I realized he was getting colder too.

I looked up at him as said "Don't go big brother! Please don't go!"

He gave me his closed eyed smile and said "Don't worry, I wont be going anywhere. But if I do leave just remember that I love you, no matter what happens. Ok?"

"Ok," I said while crying. And then everything turned black...

I jolted in me bed and tried to calm my erratic breathing.

"It was just a nightmare," I murmured to my self. Shadow, my Doberman looked at me her un-cropped ears perked up a bit, her cropped tail wagging a little. "I'm fine" I told her. She lowered her head.

I looked at my alarm clock.

1:24 AM, it read. I laid back down, thinking of my past.

Toshiro died two days after that night I begged him not to go, I was right there holding his hand. I lost my whole family in less then a week. My heart shattered like broken crystal, I could no longer feel happiness, not without my family. I was no longer Ayame Sayo; I was Raven Night and I was emotionless.

My family was somewhat rich, but we weren't spoiled, and I didn't want to leave my home so I still live there. I pay the rent with my family's money. I couldn't live in my house for some time 'cause not only was I too young but it always brought back bad memories. And so my neighbors raised me, until I was 9 then I lived in my house, but they still fed me and helped me when I needed it.

I got up and decided to get ready for my tennis match today. I am a "prodigy" and "genius" as others say, my brother Toshiro taught me everything he knew. But while growing up I watched others play while I practiced. After one tome of seeing the move I could copy it pretty good, but not perfectly. Then I started to make my own moves. I beat people easily. They started to call my the she-wolf or wolf for short. I don't mind, I just don't like it when people call me mutt or some other dog insults. Others say I act like a wolf or a dog.

I'm facing older boys. I'd smoke them easily.

(Walking through the tennis courts)

I was walking towards the courts when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked over my right shoulder which wasn't smart seeing how my black bangs covered my right eye but I could still see the boy with a tennis bag on his shoulder. He was about my age. I stopped and turned to face him, my emotionless face intact.

"Yes?" I asked, my emotionless voice intact as well.

"Yeah, are you headed to the tennis courts?" I nodded. "Can I follow you?"

"Sure," I turned and kept walking.

"Isn't it that way?" he asked pointed in the other direction.

"No, thats the wrong direction."

"That girl said it was over there." He pointed in the opposite direction. A.K.A. The wrong way.

"Hmm, well I guess we will be running." I grabbed his wrist and "ran." To him I must have been running fast but this was like a jog for me. "My name is Raven by the way, Raven Night."

"Ryoma Echizen," I nodded to let him know I heard him. When we reached the courts it turned out that he came to late and he defaulted. As for my match, it was moved up, by 40 minutes, so I defaulted also.

As me and Ryoma laid in the grass a girl ran up and started apologizing. So I stood up and said "I'm going to go check out other games. See you 'round Echizen." Then while walking away I gave then my signature hand sign and headed to the other games going on.

The End, for now
