Welcome to my story!

~ My Bloody Bride! ~

Rain pelted down on Wakahisa Orphanage hard that day. With the high wind and heavy rain, one might have mistaken it as a hurricane. The steady two story house was being a trooper as the weather did it's best to break down the ancient walls. The house would have none of that, and kept up his war with the elements, but always making sure he kept the ones residing beyond his walls safe from harms way.
Inside, it was much different from the outside. Dee Wakahisa, the young daughter of the former owners, stared out the window in the kitchen at the rain, sighing at how she couldn't see through the thick raindrops that blurred up anything trying to be seen.

"God must be crying again..." She mumbled under her breath, and moved away from her source of entertainment after an hour of silent staring at the outside.

The woman was not much past 17, her birthday have been mere months before. She had had a great birthday with all eight children living with her and her brother ever since their parents died from a bar fight that had gone wrong. It was one of those moments where everything was going fine, but all of a sudden, everything goes to shit. Her father and mother had stumbled accidentally upon a burly man threatening to beat his little eight year old kid (whose name was Matthew, and he had pretty gray eyes and a mop of messy raven hair, completely adorable and sweet), and by the yellowish-greenish marks marking the pale skin across the child's arms, he was going to keep his promise if the kid didn't try to steal him beer from the back of the restaurant. Kyo & Tina Wakahisa, her parents, were known for their kindness and selflessness around town, but were better known for their love for children. Kyo had managed to get the guy to back-off his kid, and Tina guided the child away from the scene. The man wasn't too happy with being pushed by a midget like Kyo and having his child taken away, and when the shorter man had mentioned taken custody of his son, he had snapped. It only took a few seconds for the man to pounce on Kyo and start fighting him, and it only took nanoseconds for him to over-power the lanky and short male. It was all bloodshed, the man beating Kyo to a bloody pulp, only leaving him barely breathing to witness him strangling his wife when she came to get the man off her husband.

A worker had come out to check what all the noise was happening, and managed to call the police, who were luckily near by. The two officers who had arrived got the burly man off the woman, but she had already perished. Kyo was barely clinging to life as they waited for the ambulance, but died on his way to the hospital due to his injuries. His last words were for all his children, "Please take care of each other." Matthew's father was thrown into jail for first-degree murder, and his son, Matthew, now father-less, was sent to Wakahisa orphanage, whose kids held no grudge against him.

Dee jolted when a cold hand gripped her shoulder, turning around to greet the person who scared her. She smiled at her older brother, Eli, who returned it with a equally as charming smile. His dark brown hair was mess from his habit of rolling all over the bed when hes asleep, and he was wearing some unflattering bright green plaid pajama pants with a white t-shirt. His almond shaped brown eyes showed concern when he noticed his sister's tear-stained face, and he pulled her into a abrupt hug.

"Crying doesn't solve anything." He simply stated, wiping away the tears gently. He ran a hand through his already tangled hair, wincing when he got it caught in unruly mess. Dee sniffled, and started to laugh at his silly personality. Eli was four years older than Dee, his exact age was 21. It wasn't all that pleasant taking over the orphanage at only 19, but he managed to do it, and Dee really looked up to him for it, as did all the children residing at the orphanage did too. It was sad he had to waste his youth taking care of eight children and his little sister, but he always did it with a smile on his face.

"Go upstairs and get some sleep; it's two o'clock in the morning, and you hadn't slept a wink yet. I should ground you." He frowned and furrowed his eyebrows, but his eyes still kept the usual warmth they always held, and Dee realized that he wasn't being serious. The younger rolled her eyes playfully, a smile permanently on his lips as she turned away from him and walked towards the wooden stairs in their living room. Once she got upstairs, she almost had a heart attack at the creaking sound of one of the rooms opening. Four eyes peeked out cautiously, widening when the landed on the teen. Dee rose an eyebrow at them, but didn't say anything as she pretended to not notice them, walking straight past their room, and going to enter hers. She would've if four arms hadn't latched to her legs.

"Big Sister! We heard Big Brother get up and wondered if you got in trouble." Dee probably would've been freaked out at how the two six year old twin girls hanging on her legs talking in complete unison if she didn't know them well enough. She patted the one on the left's head, giggling a little at their worried looks.

The oldest one hanging off her right leg was Ru, who had bright blonde straight hair in two high ponytails on either side of her head, a round freckled face, and bright green eyes. Her nightgown spread all the way to the floor, slipping off her shoulder. She was the more chubbier twin, who was known for her loud and hyper personality. The younger one hanging off her left leg was Yu, who had her bright blond straight hair in two low ponytails, a slim freckled face, and bright green eyes covered by light pink glasses. Yu was known for her quiet but bright attitude, and Matthew had taken a liking to her, too. Her attire was the same as Ru's, but it fit better since hers was in a smaller size.

"Thank you for worrying about me, but he just told me to get some sleep. Tomorrow we are going to the park correct?" As soon as she finished, both girls squealed loudly, but were soon shushed not much after. The both of them stopped immediately, grabbing at the older's arm, pulling her into their room. Dee sighed as she was dragged, although she knew that the two girls just needed to be tucked in again.

Once the two twins were under the covers once again, Dee didn't even finish tucking them in when they were already passed out. Dee suppressed a giggle, and backed away from the bed. A cold draft suddenly swooped down on her out of nowhere, and she grasped her shoulders in an attempt to keep warm. Her dark green eyes found the window in the room opened, letting some rain in. She quickly walked over and shut the window, wondering why it was open in the first place. A yawn escaped her, and she suddenly felt all the exhaustion finally take over her, so she dismissed the thought and went back to her room.

Dee rubbed her face after finishing brushing her teeth. The tired teen stared at herself in the mirror, noticing the forming black circles under her eyes. She really needed more sleep. The girl took a quick scan of herself. Her dark brown hair barely brushed her shoulders, and her bangs were cut straight across her head. Her eyes were round and feminine, a dark green that reminded her of a forest. She frowned at the red color on her pale skin, worrying that she might be getting a cold. She really needed to stop staying up late to finish her schoolwork.

Yawning once again, Dee returned to her room, stretching her arms above her head as her back cracked in response. She had changed into a plain purple sweater and some light blue and purple matching stripped pajama pants. She pulled back her pale covers, and settled down into the springy mattress, content at the familiar feeling.

Dee had almost drifted to complete dreamland if she hadn't heard the sudden rustle of her rug. Her eyes instantly popped open, expecting to see one of the kids crawling up on to her bed, claiming that they were scared of the rain that was beating on the roof. She was shocked to see a black silhouette in replace, and she wasn't quick enough to scream as a towel was suddenly thrust onto her face, silencing her before she even could utter a word. Her mind slowly reeled into a black abyss, eyes watering, her mind calling out for her brother as she went unconscious.

First time writing a depressing anything. I'm hoping it doesn't turn out to be a complete fluke. Anyway, when I chose the characters I want, I will introduce them like this, and after that I'd start to official story. Anyway, let's start with basic information.
