"See you tomorrow at school!" Suzuka waved to her friends as she strolled up the walkway leading to her lavous home. She took one last look as the limo drove away then with a smile she walked through the doors and greeted her two maids. "Welcome home, Ojo-sama," the two maids said respectfully.
"Good evening," Suzuka smiled.
"How was school?" Shinobu, her older sister, inquired as she walked into the living room.
"It was ok," Suzuka said and took a seat on the couch. She let out a sigh and looked at her school bag, then smiled slightly. "I'll be in my room," she said and quickly grabbed her bag and ran up to her room.
Shinobu smiled and went to another part of the house. As she was getting ready to do some cleaning, the house began to shake violently. A rumbling sound could be heard in the distance, and it suddenly sparked Suzuka's curiosity.
The sky crackled with energy, dark, ominous clouds formed and lightning arced out in several directions. The rumbling resembled the sound of thunder more than what it really was: explosions.
The winds began to pick up, tree's swayed and branches, already weak from a previous wind storm, snapped and accompanied the breeze on its journey through the city. Through normal eyes, no one would notice, but through the eyes of someone capable of using magic, they'd have seen a small bright object suddenly shoot out of the center of the storm.
It flew through the air, on a course for a distant area of the city; it slammed into several trees with enough speed and power to cause a few of them to burst, almost as if they had been struck by lightning. When the object finally hit the ground, it caused a small crater to form around it, with small fires that licked the outer edge.
A shining light illuminated the crater for several seconds, before the object took the form of a little human girl, roughly nine years of age. The girl breathed heavily, her body bruised and bloodied, and her arm was twisted into an unnatural position.
She held a sword in one hand, and her clothing was torn to the point where it was impossible to fix. "Ughs.. must.. get out.. of.. here.." she muttered and stared up at the sky, and suddenly, rain drops began to pelt her face, causing her to blink a few times. She struggled to get up and found her legs burning with pain.
The ground was slippery, and thus caused her to fall onto her chest, resulting in a yelp of pain. She made an effort to look at the wound on her chest, and she found a large cut that was clearly deep. Her face burned with excruciating pain. She snapped her attention back to getting under some cover from the storm.
Managing to stand back up, she limped forward and fell onto her knees near a large tree that could easily be used for shelter. She rested her back up against it and she looked down at her broken arm and grabbed it. Then with a determined look, she twisted it back into place. A gut wrenching scream pierced the heavy rain fall and caused an echo to occur in the distance.
She whimpered at the pain that coursed through her arm. "Go…" she struggled and coughed and blood splattered onto the ground, which quickly went away due to the rain water.
As she lay against the tree, she felt her body becoming cold and also began to feel numbness in her legs. "S.. so… th… this is… h… how… I-I-I-I.. g… go…" she muttered and closed her eyes. She began to notice her hearing fading, the sound of the rain dissipating in the distance. Feeling in her arms left her; finally she could no longer see the light behind her closed eyes.
