Chapter 1: How it began
The whole entire room was dark. It was like I was in a asylum for the mentally ill or something. I sat chained to the wall, wondering why I was here. A tall man covered in robs walked up to me. His eyes glowing.
"You're awake daughter of Soma." The voice hissed, almost sounding like a cobra ready to strike at my throat.
"How did you know my father's name?" I asked.
"I know everything. I know your fear, your joy, your anger, all of your emotions that you feel."
"Quit lying." I spat at him, fear and anger was building up in my eyes.
"Are you calling me a liar you little bitch?" The voice said to me as he stabbed me with a sharp sword and I felt the world all around me go blank.

I woke up from my nightmare, sweat dripping from my forehead as if I had came back from the boiler room. I quickly checked for any wounds in my stomach to see if I had any marks on them, I was relieved that I didn't. That was then when I heard Julius calling for me.
"Anima, come down here and eat." Julius shouted from the other end of the house.
"Alright, I'll be down in a minute." I replied as I got out of bed and walked over to the shower and removed what clothing I had. My arms were covered with several tattoos. They both connected to a yellow golden sun with a face on it that was also tattooed on my back. My hair was silver and my eyes were red, sort of like embers judging by what some people thought my eyes looked like. I felt the warm and cold waters running down my entire body, it was almost like I was connected to it for some reason.
"What was that nightmare trying to tell me?" I thought as I stepped out of the shower and quickly headed back into my room and got dressed. I stretched as I slid on a green army tank top and a black jacket that said, "Hell is for children" written on the back with a picture of a teddy bear that had seen better days. Then I grabbed a pair of dark blue thick denim carpenter jeans and slid them on, along with a thick black belt that said, "WELCOME TO MY HELL" written on it. Then I grabbed a pair of black gloves and slid them on. And finally, I pulled on a pair of black combat boots that had silver buckles on them and buckled them up. I quickly hurried down stairs and saw Julius reading a newspaper, I chose to greet him.
"Hiya Dad." I said to him. Julius stopped reading his newspaper and glanced at me with a grumpy expression.
"I see you're looking fine today Anima." He said as he went back to reading his newspaper. He never seemed to look at me often when I greeted him, but I couldn't blame him for that, I always said he looked grumpy. Then I realized that I was late and I quickly grabbed my backpack and headed off to school.
"Bye Dad." I said to Julius as I walked out of the house and headed off to school.
I eventually made it to school on time. The school that I went to was "Tokyo high school for the perfectly gifted." The school was filled with people who had different types of special gifts that they couldn't control. I was one of them. At first, many people thought I was weird, but they became great friends of mine.
Then someone I knew came running up to me.
"Hey Anima, what have you been doing lately?" My friend, James asked me. I usually nicknamed him as 'Hellfire' because he was obsessed with demons. As a matter of fact, he was one. His hair seemed to be dyed red and it was slicked as well and his eyes were like a cold stare.
"I've been doing well Hellfire. How about you?" I asked.
"Well, the same as always." Hellfire said to me. I then realized that I forgot something important.
"Did you finish the math assignment that Mr. Hill gave us?" I asked.
"Nope." He answered.
"Shit! Now I won't have anybody to copy off of." I cursed as I kicked at a rock, causing it to hit a nearby brick wall. Then the bell rang and we were forced to head back inside.

I got into class and headed for my desk and sat down, sighing. My hair fell over my face. Then Mr. Hill walked up to my desk.
"Ms. Habuka, do you have your assignment done?" He asked me.
"No, its not, so just shut up." I said.
"Would you like detention Anima?" He asked me.
"Would you like me to break your jaw in half." I muttered. He grumbled and headed off for his desk. I giggled a little bit at what I said.
********
Finally school was over for the day, I headed off for home, but then I was bothered by some annoying voice.
"Hey you little punk." said one of the voices.
I turned a sharp glare at the group and it was a couple of idiotic preps. They had always pissed me off and made fun of me just because of how I dressed. The voice belonged to Hikari, someone who always tried to make my life miserable, but failed.
"Shut the fuck up bitch." I said.
"What's wrong, you can't probably stand the sunlight if you even took a step out in daylight." Hikari said.
I suddenly felt a feeling of violent anger come over me, like a wave of water that just swallowed me up. My hand was clenched tightly in a fist. I took a swing at her and suddenly, my fist impaled her and she died. The rest of them backed away. I was shocked, I never killed anything in my life, well except for a view insects, but I killed a human, a human being with just the swing of my fist, I quickly pulled my hand out of Hikari's chest, it was drenched in blood.
"Why don't you leave you little freak and never come back." The 2nd one said. I quickly ran away from the crime scene, feeling guilty.
What have I done?
