Hello all! I'm going to be taking a break on this storyline for a while. I will finish it but I'm going to be busy with other things and I'd really like to write one other story for now. A story I've wanted to write for years! :)
All Sailor Moon characters in this story belong to Naoko Takeuchi. The rest are mine.
This is the sequel to my previous story 'Vampiric Fate'. I hope this story lives up to everyone's expectations. It's going to be a bit different than the last one. I also don't know how fast I will be able to update this story. It may not be as fast as my other. When I began to post 'Vampiric Fate' on this website I already had many chapters written in cliff notes. The only thing I have for this story is what's in my mind. I'll try my best to post as much as I can and quickly. :)
I strongly recommend reading Vampiric Fate first, although, I will try my best to write this story without the need to read the other. ;D
Vampiric Fate recap:
Haruka was an outcast by choice and her only friend was her childhood friend, Blake. He urged her to make friends with Michiru and after a week of him trying to do so she gave in. Michiru quickly grew on Haruka and Haruka confided her deepest secrets with Michiru. One night after taking Michiru home, Haruka was attacked by a vampire and believed it was only a dream.
Haruka soon learned she was a vampire, or 'Lilin' as they called themselves. She had been born this way, but she was born different, she was half human. After discovering this about herself, Haruka then found herself in the middle of something- Michiru, now her girlfriend, was a hunter. Haruka continued to keep her secret from her girlfriend only to have it blow up in her face and found Michiru leaving her without a chance to explain.
The blood of a Lilin is toxic to another a Lilin. Consuming it can alter their minds. Haruka found pleasure in drinking the Lilin blood, it took the pain away of losing the love of her life. She now began to go by another name, Amara. Amara became more of a split personality, the bad side of Haruka.
An accident involving Michiru brought her back to Haruka. It was through this accident that Michiru learned the troubles Haruka had to endure while she kept the secret of her birth from Michiru. A phone call early one morning sent Haruka and Michiru to the hospital. Haruka's father was hit by a car. Haruka walked away to be by herself in the hospital, only to be approached by a strange young girl. The girl stabbed Haruka with a jagged blade. They knew these blades to be the only other thing that could kill a Lilin. Haruka's world turned to darkness…

Premonition of Fate
Prologue
~Three Months Ago~
Death. Destruction. Despair. A world of nightmares. Monsters running loose. Governments collapsing. Mass panic. Humans suffering. Humans becoming monsters. Chaos.
The world is changing. The world is burning. In a mansion a woman sits on a throne like chair. The smirk on her face is that of pure evil. Her eyes burn a blood red color. The most prominent feature is her aqua colored hair and two long fangs. Michiru. Michiru. Michiru.
"Michiru!" A girl sits up in her bed suddenly. "Michiru." She whispers and reaches for a book on her nightstand. As though graced by a muse she sketches the features of a woman in her book. The portrait is almost an exact replica of the woman in her vision. "Michiru." The girl continues to mumble as she reaches for a set of pastels on her nightstand. She slowly colors in the unique hair color with ease. "I'll find you, Michiru."
She turns to dangle her legs over the side of her bed for a moment. Her vision was the most frightening she had ever experienced. In the past she has seen many visions come true. Most of her visions were minor everyday life, but this vision… a vision of the end of the world and the end of humans. "I can't let that happen."
Chapter 1
Within a few months of her eighteenth birthday Rei Hino had received her vision. It was normal for an Oracle to receive a vision as their final trial just before their eighteenth birthday. Although, this particular vision frightened Rei more than anything she had ever seen. She walked through an ancient building clad in long robes that covered her entire body. The building was centuries old and is more of a coven. The floors and walls are all made of stones.
Rei opened the doors to the library and began to skim through a few old books. Generally, others would be tasked with someone a bit more minor than what she had seen. After a few hours of research she finally leaned back in her chair and huffed. 'I can't believe this.' She flipped through a couple more pages and found what she was looking for. 'I have to find a vampire?' She read through the book a bit longer. 'Lilin. They call themselves Lilin. That's a strange name.' Rei walked around to find another book to tell her more about 'Lilin'. After a few minutes of looking her eyes set site on an old and dusty book. 'I don't believe this.'
She read to herself silently. 'Lilin are powerful, immortal beings that are the direct descendants of the demon queen, Lilith. The humans refer to Lilin as 'vampires'. It is believed that the Lilin have been around since before humans. Some even believe the Lilin played a huge step in the evolution for humankind. Lilith is often referred to as 'The Mother of All', stating that she is the mother of all monsters.' Rei leaned back in her chair once again. "I can't believe this."
"Rei-chan, how are you?" A girl about Rei's age approached her and sat down next to her.
"Ayumi-chan! Trying to find the meaning behind a vision I had this morning. It confuses me." Rei tapped her finger onto her forehead from frustration.
"What was it about?" Ayumi reached for a couple of the books Rei had opened.
"You know we can't speak of that. It's something we have to figure out on our own." Rei said as she looked back at the book about the Lilin.
"I know! Are you excited?" Ayumi brushed some of her brunette hair out of her face. She pulled a book into her possession and skimmed through it. "Vampires?"
"Stop prying for information, you know I can't tell you anything." Rei took the book back and snapped it closed.
"Have you told Setsuna-sensei?"
"No. I'm really nervous with what I've been tasked to do."
"That big is it?"
"I'm not sure how big it is but it seems huge."
"I'll let you get back to it then. I have a few things to do today myself."
Ayumi left the room quietly. Rei began to flip through the book in front of her again. 'Unlike popular beliefs, Lilin have no known weaknesses. The only known way to kill a Lilin is another Lilin consuming all the blood from another's body. This makes the Lilin a frightening species. Most speculate they keep to themselves, while others think they serve their queen faithfully. It is unknown exactly which is the correct answer. There's known to have been three clans. Each clan possesses a different power. One clan can charm a person to become sexually attracted to them and obey many simple commands. Another clan has been known to project an immobilizing fear into their target. It is unknown what the third clan can do. Only two clans remain today. ' Rei shook her head and thought to herself: 'There's no way I'm going to be able to do this. If this is true, then I have to get another Lilin to kill that woman. I just wonder how she is linked to the entire world collapsing and humans becoming enslaved…'
Rei snapped the book closed and sighed heavily, she had to go see the high priestess. She returned the books to the shelves and set out for the office of Setsuna Meioh. Her robes flowed behind her. The robes were not typical of Japan and would be recognized faster as a type of wizard-type robe. Her footsteps echoed through the long hallways. Each hallway was lit with a magical, everburning light on the walls.
She approached the closed door of the room that belonged to the high priestess. No one ever knocked on the door; it would open upon arrival by the will of the high priestess. Rei bowed as she entered the room. "Setsuna-sensei." Her voice was shaking.
"What troubles you?" The woman sat behind a desk with her eyes focused on the girl that had just entered.
"I've received a troubling vision." Rei tugged at the top of her robes around her neck. "I'm afraid of the pilgrimage I will have to embark on."
"I've seen it too." Setsuna turned in her chair and gazed out a window. "I see all the visions my children see."
Rei remained silent. Never once had anyone mentioned the high priestess could see their visions. She wondered if it was a secret this woman was confiding in her.
"The fates have chosen you for this task. I have full faith you will pull through. They would have never given you that vision if they did not believe you would be able to do it."
Rei continued to stand silently while she listened.
"As with each student that is given their final vision for their pilgrimage you will receive your Myriad Bag. It will help you on your journey." Setsuna turned back to Rei and locked eyes with her. "There will come a time where you will want to give up. It will seem like everything is hopeless. Press on. You will succeed."
"Yes, Setsuna-sensei." Rei bowed and exited the room. The door closed behind her and she made her way back to her small room.
She took her book of notes from her nightstand and sat down in front of a small fire pit. She flipped through a few pages and made a gesture with her hands. A small fire began to burn in front of her.
"Show me the woman named Michiru." Rei commanded the flames. Nothing happened. She continued to plea with the fire in front of her until a woman came into focus: A woman lay in a hospital bed. The woman was far from what Rei saw in her vision, this woman looked weak. Then the woman began to toss and turn in her bed as though she was in pain suddenly. Rei leaned closer and felt the intense heat of the flames. 'It hurts' The woman screamed. A bit of fire shot out from the fire pit and hit something behind Rei. It had managed to catch something on fire. "No!" Rei quickly jumped up to put it out. When she turned, her fire had died down. She walked back to the fire and looked at it again. A word had been spelled out in the embers. It read 'Kaioh'.
"Kaioh?" Rei questioned the word. "Is that a name? I wonder if it's her last name." Rei left her room in search of something that would help her. She spent hours researching a person by the name of 'Kaioh Michiru'. All her results came to the same conclusion: this woman had died along with her mother, Kaioh Mizuki a few months ago.
"That's impossible." Rei found a picture of the woman. It looked nothing like the one she had seen in her vision. The one feature Rei remembered was her hair color. This woman had black hair and her face looked nothing like the one she had seen. "I don't understand."
Rei peered out her window. Night had fallen. She had spent all day researching what she could about her vision. Tomorrow she would continue. She moved to her bed and laid down. "I'll find you, Michiru." She mumbled before she found sleep.

~Two months ago~
Shining silver. Sharp blades. Three blades. Blades of the demon queen. Lilith. Ancient writing. Shapeshifters. Language of the Shapeshifters.
Rei sat up in her bed after another vision. "Three blades… what does all of this mean? Is this a part of my pilgrimage?" She spoke loudly as though she was asking someone a question. "You damn fates never give me enough information to work with! The world is in my hands and you give me confusing messages." She shook her fist at the ceiling. Her book of notes was on her nightstand and she took the moment to draw the blades in it as well. The blades resembled that of a ceremonial knife known as a Kris.
"This language engraved on the blades is the language of the shapeshifters, the druids." Rei traced her gloved finger on the drawing.
"Rei-chan!" A voice and a knock from her door interrupted Rei. She set her book down and moved to her door. Her friend Ayumi was standing at the entrance. "Setsuna-sensei delivered your Myriad Bag." She held out a messenger-style bag.
"Thanks." Rei took the bag.
"Did you find out anything yet?"
"You know I can't say anything."
"I know. I just came to give you your bag. I have something to do. Let me know before you leave, okay?" Ayumi handed Rei her new bag and left.
Rei took the bag to her bed and looked at it. She did not quite like the color and whispered a chant to turn it black. "Perfect." She opened her new bag and saw a vat of what seemed to be endless space. The bag seemed completely normal on the outside but inside one could store much more.
She had been working non-stop for the past month to figure out her vision. It frustrated her more than anything that she now had two visions to work off of. She put off the second vision for the moment and was going to try one final attempt to figure out her first vision.
Today Rei decided to try another scrying spell. She sat for hours but had no luck. Her frustration was reaching its peak. Michiru was a Japanese name. Why could she not find this woman in Japan? She took the book she used for notes and sat at her fire pit again. She flipped to the page with the portrait and traced her finger along it. The image dragged off of the page slowly and into the fire.
A woman played a violin. She danced as she played. Rei observed closely as she watched the aqua haired woman playing. It seemed to be something from the past. The woman danced on a huge stage and an audience clapped. A man's voice spoke to the woman: 'Michelle Kaio.' Rei's eyebrow perked up. "Michelle? Is that how you were able to stay hidden from me?" She scrawled the new name down in her book. When the fire died out the drawing reappeared on the page in her book.
"The second vision…" She mumbled. "Today, I leave. These visions are connected, I know they are." Rei gathered everything important from her room and put it into her bag. She visited her friend Ayumi before she left. Rei had never left the safety of the coven before. She went to visit Setsuna before she left.
"Setsuna-sensei." She bowed as she entered the room. "Today I'm leaving to speak to the shapeshifters. I believe they help me with my second vision."
Setsuna smiled. "Just remember – keep yourself hidden from the mortals. They don't need to ask questions as to why you are different."
Rei was given new clothing to fit in – a turtle neck shirt with pants and gloves. Most people would wonder how she stays cool in the heat with all the clothing; she used a simple spell to keep her body temperature normal.
Outside of the coven clouds had spread across the sky. Rei approached the large metal gates and took one final look back at the place that had been her home since she was born. Her first trip would be to meet up with a clan of shapeshifters. She closed her eyes and beckoned to a greater power to take her feet in the direction of the shapeshifters. She walked for a while with her eyes closed. After a while she saw the path in her mind and opened her eyes. She walked for hours and eventually found a place to stay for the night. The next day her path would lead her to the shapeshifters.
Two clans become one. The Lilin are united under one ruler.
Her vision confused her when she awoke the next day. As usual she would scrawl into her book a couple notes. She sat out on her path and found herself at a small village outside of a large town. Her eyes set sight on a large building in the middle of the village. Over the door of the village was an ancient language. She had arrived at the home of the shapeshifters.
"Oooh I'm so late!" A girl spoke from around the corner. Rei turned to see the person talking and was interrupted when the girl ran into her.
"Hey, watch it!" Rei scowled from the ground. A girl with long blonde pig tails had run smack into her.
"I'm so sorry, I'm just so late!" The girl stood and held a hand for Rei to take.
Rei scoffed and stood up by herself. She turned her focus back at the building she was about to enter. The blonde quickly opened the large doors and entered. Rei followed behind her.
"Usagi." A man called from inside of the building. "You're late, again."
"I'm so sorry, Tora-Sensei!" The girl bowed. The man then turned his focus onto Rei.
"What sort of business does an Oracle have with us?" He questioned the girl with long black hair.
Rei felt her heart jerk. How did he know? "I come seeking your help."
His eyes moved back the blonde girl that was still bowing. "Usagi, you're excused." The blonde girl ran off quickly and he focused back on Rei. "What help can we offer you?"
She focused on the man for a while. He had long orange-red hair with streaks of black and white scattered throughout. He also had a long beard that had been braided on either side of his jaw. For some reason his appearance reminded Rei of a tiger. "I've been tasked with a couple of visions." Rei reached into her bag and removed her book. "One vision I received was of three blades."
The mention of the blades sparked his curiosity even more. "Blades?"
Rei flipped through her book and found the page with the blades she had drawn. "They had the writing of the shapeshifters on them. I figured you could tell me more about these weapons. They seem to be in link with my other vision."
He held his hand out for the book which Rei handed over. The man stared without blinking at the page. "I can't believe it. I guess it's true."
"What's true?"
"She's returned. I always thought it was a tall tale." He motioned for Rei to look at the book with him and pointed at one weapon. "Animus Subversor." Rei quickly took out a pencil and wrote the name next to it. He pointed at the other two. "Sanguinem Neco. Futurum Vates."
"Do you know where they are?" She questioned the man.
"I don't. They were lost centuries ago."
"If I may ask, who has returned?"
He handed the book back to Rei and locked his yellow eyes onto her. "Lilith." She dropped her book at the mention of the name.

~One Month ago~
Rei spent the last month with the shapeshifters. They had welcomed her into their village to teach her what they knew of the Lilin and Lilith. The girl that had bumped into Rei, Usagi, was the one tasked in helping her. Usagi easily got on Rei's nerves. She constantly questioned the raven haired girl why she wore clothes that covered her entire body, Rei never responded. Usagi was also constantly late to everything and had an obsession with sweets.
The time had come for Rei to continue on with her journey. She knew the time was coming and she now had the answers she needed from the shapeshifters. She would also be welcome back in their village if she ever needed to return. Now, she had to find this Michiru person, or 'Michelle' as she was going by now.
Her journey landed her near the south eastern side of the United States. In the coven they studied many languages throughout the world. They needed to be prepared for where their pilgrimage would bring them. The bag she had been given by Setsuna was also able to produce any funds she needed on her journey.
A vision had told Rei she would first meet this Michiru person in Atlanta, Georgia. She passed by a huge mansion in Atlanta and stopped. This was the place. She looked at the huge building and observed it for a moment. It seemed abandoned. She wanted to go inside and look around.
When night fell she approached the door again and took her book out. The book's use is limitless and doubles as a spellbook. She used a minor spell to unlock the mansion and entered. It was just as she had guessed, empty of life. She took the time to read through papers she found throughout the mansion. A room in the basement gave her the creeps. There was a large machine in the middle of the room that had blood flowing within. Refrigerators were setting along the wall and she looked inside.
"Disgusting!" She covered her nose and stepped back. Inside the refrigerators were empty and full packets of blood. She continued to explore the mansion. Any papers that seemed important she would copy into her book. Taking a paper might cast suspicion if it was missing.
She stayed in a hotel near the mansion while she waited for the woman known as 'Michelle Kaio' to appear. Rei spent time researching this Michelle Kaio and found clips online of her performance in the talent show. "It's a shame such talent has been wasted on you." If Rei had not been given her current task, she would have enjoyed the music more.
Her visions became more frequent, Michiru would arrive soon. Rei stood across the street and observed the mansion one day. This was the day- she would finally meet the mysterious woman with aqua colored hair.
A taxi pulled up to the mansion and not one, but three people exited. She squinted to get a better look at the other two. It looked like a blonde man and a blonde woman with long hair and big red bow in her hair. Her eyes then found her target – the woman with aqua colored hair. She stared at the woman and pulled out her book. As she flipped through the book a few people walked by whispering about what Rei was wearing. She was wearing a turtle neck shirt with long sleeves and gloves. Anyone wearing that in the Georgia heat would be insane. She ignored them and found the page she was looking for.
'It's her.' A smirk spread across her lips. She closed the book and looked back up at the three people in front of the mansion. Now she had to wait and see if she could get Michelle alone. Nearby was a small shop with a few benches. She took a seat and waited.
After a while the blonde man called another cab and left the mansion. She turned her focus back on the mansion and shortly afterwards her target exited alone. 'It's now or never.' Rei stood and walked to the mansion.
"Excuse me." She approached Michiru. "Are you Michelle Kaio?"
The woman turned to her. "I am."
"I'm a big fan. I saw you on TV." She wondered if she was lying. She did enjoy her music.
The woman giggled. "That was a good while ago." Rei felt Michiru's eyes roaming over her clothing. "Aren't you hot wearing all of those clothes?"
"I've got used to it. I just happened to be walking by and saw you. I wanted to meet you as I don't think I'd ever get the chance again." Rei smiled. She wanted to learn everything she could about this woman. Their conversation was interrupted when a taxi pulled up and the blonde exited. Upon closer inspection she realized it was not a man, it was a woman.
The blonde approached the two girls talking. "Making new friends already?" This woman gave Rei the same look everyone else did when they saw what she was wearing.
Rei perked up real quick. "Well, I should get going. Nice to finally meet you, Michelle." She quickly turned to walk away and heard the two talking.
"So where did you go, Haruka?" The aqua haired woman inquired the blonde.
"Hey, let it be a surprise. Like I said, don't prod for information." The blonde replied. "Did you two figure out anything regarding the notes?
"No. She's inside trying to figure it out now."
"Let's go in."
Rei had turned to get one last glimpse of the two women before they entered the mansion. The blonde took a hold of Michiru's hand and led her into the mansion. The mission seemed to be a bit more difficult now. She had no doubt the blonde woman she had mistaken for a man was Michiru's lover. More than likely they were both Lilin.
Rei tapped her chin for a moment. According to her research a Lilin always had their fangs showing but the two women looked like normal humans. Her vision could not have been wrong, Michiru had fangs in it. 'I don't understand.' Rei thought a bit longer. Her research also stated humans could not be turned into Lilin. The humans believed 'vampires' could turn humans into a vampire, but Rei knew that was not true.
She returned to the bench she had been sitting on earlier and waited. Shortly afterwards, the couple exited the mansion and left. Rei wondered if she should approach the mansion and talk to the other girl. After a few minutes of debating, she walked to the door and knocked. No one came; she continued to knock until the blonde girl opened it.
"Can I help you?" When this girl spoke Rei easily saw fangs in the corner of her mouth.
"Oh." Rei was caught off guard when she was face to face with a Lilin. "I bumped into the other two women and they had mentioned something about notes. They said they were written in different languages. I offered my help."
The blonde girl eyed Rei for a moment. "Is that so?"
Rei tried to not stare at the fangs in her mouth as she spoke. She had never been face to face with a Lilin before. She was also unsure which side a Lilin was on, good or evil. "I was hoping you could help me and I could help you."
"Okay! I'm Mina by the way."
"Rei." She was surprised at how quickly this girl allowed her into the mansion. Mina did not seem like the brightest crayon in the box. Something she once heard about dumb blondes crossed her mind and she chuckled to herself. If she could become friends with this girl she could use her to gain information.
Inside the mansion, Mina had spread papers all over the floor. Rei made sure to keep a close eye on the Lilin as she worked. "I know quite a few languages but not enough to understand all the notes."
Rei bent down. She had already read a lot of the notes herself.
"I don't understand this language." Mina pointed out.
Rei looked at it. "It's the language of the shapeshif…" She stopped herself before finishing the word.
Mina caught on quickly. "How do you know about the shapeshifters?"
"Uh." Rei was suddenly nervous. She was afraid to upset the girl.
"Are you one?" Mina eyed her clothing closer.
"No. I'm not."
"What are you?"
Rei narrowed her eyes on the girl across the room. She knew not to anger her. She would never win a fight with an immortal such as a Lilin. "An Oracle." She had no choice but to tell the truth.
"An Oracle?" Mina repeated the words in the form of a question. "I've never met an Oracle before. What brings you here?"
Rei felt as though this girl was getting suspicious. "I'm on a pilgrimage. My visions led me to this mansion. There has to be something in here of importance."
"I see." Mina now narrowed her eyes onto Rei. "What was your vision of?"
Rei knew she could not speak of her vision. "I'm sorry, I can't say. It's not that I don't want to tell you, I can't tell you." Rei felt as though Mina saw this as a challenge – a challenge to get the information from her.
"Aren't you hot under all of that clothing?" Mina asked the most repeated question.
"No." Rei spoke and shuffled some of the papers on the floor.
"I've already tried pairing the papers with the same languages. Now that you are here, you can help me with more of the languages. I hear an Oracle is fluent in many languages."
"We are."
After a while the two managed to put some of the pieces together. Rei looked into her book she always carried. She had overlooked one of the papers that spoke of the three weapons when she trespassed earlier in the week. Mina managed to sneak up behind her and peer over her shoulder at the book.
"How old is that book?" She reached for it.
Rei snapped it closed. "Older than me. You can't touch it."
Mina huffed. "You aren't that old anyways." She eyed the raven haired girl for a moment. "What are you? Sixteen, seventeen? You're so young!"
Rei chuckled to herself. She may be younger but she definitely felt wiser than the blonde bimbo in the room with her. "I'll be eighteen soon enough." Rei stuffed her book back into her bag. "There's three weapons, Animus Subversor, Sanguinem Neco, Futurum Vates."
Mina blinked as Rei spoke. "How do you know this?"
"I spent a month with some shapeshifters back at home. They even took the time to teach me their language." She yawned and looked out the window. Stars grazed the night sky. "I should go before it gets any later."
"Why don't you stay here?"
Rei had began to walk to the front door. "I know all about you Lilin. I know the tricks you play on others. So what's your power?" She turned and looked at the blonde girl that was still on the floor next to the papers. "You're from the clan that has that charm, aren't you?"
"Guilty!" Mina raised her hand.
"All the more reason I'm leaving."
"You don't want to stay for a bit of fun?"
The tone in Mina's voice seemed a bit sarcastic and playful. "I'm not into women. So, have fun by yourself." Rei turned and began to walk for the door again.
"Well, you're coming back right? I don't know the language of the shapeshifters."
"I can." Rei waved her hand behind her and exited the mansion.
For the next couple of days Rei helped Mina with the papers. Even with their combined knowledge on languages, Rei did not learn anything new. Her only hope was to wait for a new vision. It finally came and she left. Something told her she would be in the new place for a while. She purchased an inexpensive car and managed to create a false ID. Rei now find herself sitting outside of another mansion. This mansion was much more elaborate than the last one. She watched the blonde woman and aqua haired women enter and leave the mansion often.
One early morning she noticed the familiar yellow car the blonde drove speed out of the garage. She decided to follow. They soon arrived in a hospital. She watched as both women ran into the huge building in a panic. After a moment Rei entered as well.
Rei stood just outside of the room and watched the blonde woman pace around the room. The other woman beckoned for her to sit down and calm herself.
"I knew I should have seen how he was doing." The blonde spoke to the aquanette. "Michiru, I need to take a walk. I'll be back." Rei watched as the blonde walked down a hallway.
Rei approached Michiru "Everything alright?"
"Yeah… I hope." The woman turned to face Rei and narrowed her eyes. "You aren't stalking me are you"?
"No. I just happened to be here to visit a friend." Rei quickly made up a lie. She needed to find out more about this woman. The eyes of the woman observed her clothing. Rei felt as though the woman was trying to look deeper into her mind. 'If you can read minds, good luck. It takes more than that to penetrate the mind of an Oracle.'
"I see." Michiru rested her chin on her thumb.
"I hope I'm not bothering you."
"No, you're fine."
"My name is Rei."
"Well, you already know my name." Michiru replied. The woman was definitely suspicious of Rei. Michiru then held her hand out for a handshake. When Rei took Michiru's hand she tried to peer deep into the woman's mind. She wanted to know why she was sent after this woman, she seemed harmless. "Can I have my hand back?" Michiru asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Rei let the hand go and sat next to her. After a moment in thought, she felt it- a powerful vision was approaching her. She fell to the floor and saw the vision…
Find the weapons. Find the blades. She saw the woman named Haruka standing in a hallway. A girl with short, dark hair had approached her and stabbed her with a familiar looking blade- one of the weapons she was seeking. 'You're mine now.' The girl spoke to the blonde that had dropped to her knees from the pain of being stabbed. The blonde looked up at the girl; the blonde's eyes were a burning blood red color now. A name screamed in Rei's mind, Amara. Amara. Amara.
"Amara! Amara!" Rei spoke and opened her eyes.
Michiru had knelt down next to her. "Amara?" She questioned the dark haired girl on the floor.
Rei was now pushing the nurses away from her. "I'm fine." She glared at them and moved back to her chair.
Michiru remained kneeling on the floor and looked up at Rei. "How do you know the name Amara?"
Rei sighed. She had never had a vision that powerful before. "I don't know. The name just came to me." Had her original vision changed? Or is there a new player in the game now, this 'Amara'?
