Night of the Red Moon
Klarissa POV
Cold. That was the only thing I could remember that night when the red moon was high in the sky and the stars hid behind the never-ending abyss of the night sky. The cool dreary December night breeze sending shivers down my spine as I wept droplets of tears. 'Papa. Where do I go?' I thought looking down at the middle aged man in a suit and top hat as blood leaked from his body like the Nile.
CRASH!
"AAAHHH!" I screamed seeing the shadowed outline of a man by the window. "Go away!" I screamed my voice going horse and soar from crying so much. "Come with me little girl." The man said in a way that didn't make me think he was my friend so I did what any sane girl would do I ran as fast and far as my legs could take me. "HEY COME BACK HERE!" he yelled his footsteps not far behind me. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screeched back bolting out the back door and into the cornfield. Maneuvering my way into the tall rows of corn as I stopped to catch my breath.
Crunch..
"Huhh!" I gasped covering my mouth to keep me from making any other noises as the man stopped in front of me a small layer of corn between him and myself. "Where the hell did that brat go now?" he asked running off again in search of me as I turned on my heel heading in the opposite direction of him. I didn't know where I was going but I didn't care as long as it wasn't here. I kept going for what seemed like hours until I could see a light up ahead. "Hello! Help can somebody please help me!" I yelled out for help as I fumbled out onto the high way. Stopping as I fell to my knees my legs to tired to even hold up my own weight. "Please… help… me…" I begged seeing two bright headlights ahead of me before falling into the dark abyss of unconsciousness.
Komui's POV
"Seriously brother you need to quit making those ridiculous machines!" My dearest Leenalee was scolding me once again on my beloved sir Komlin the fourth. "Sir Komlin the Fourth is not ridiculous!" I screeched tears puring from my eyes as I flailed around the back seat of the car. "Honestly you are so embarrassing!" Leenalee exclaimed turning her attention out the window.
"Driver stop the car!" She yelled suddenly causing the vehicle to come to a halting stop as the forces of gravity sent me flying forward and crashing into the seat in front of me. "Leenalee what is it?" I asked pulling my teeth out of the seat and leaning my head out of the now open door. What I saw before me shocked me as I noticed a girl just about the same age as Leenalee lying in the middle of the road scorch marks on her arms and legs and bleeding from the head. "Call headquarters and prepare a medical room immediately." I instructed the finder at the steering wheel who nodded before taking the phone off of his back and began to dial the order as I vacated the car to go and help Leenalee with the injured girl. "Is she alright?" I asked Leenalee who was holding the girl close to her too maintain body heat so eh girl wouldn't get cold. "She has a pulse. It's weak but its there." She explained to me as I got a better look at the girl's injuries. "What do you suppose happened to her?" Leenalee asked be but I was too distracted at the scenery a few miles ahead. "I think I have a pretty good idea." I said turning my gaze back to the unconscious girl in my sister's arms. "What do you mean?" Leenalee asked looking in the direction I was and within that instant her eyes grew wide with horror. For the sight before us was truly horrid. A small house on a cliff side was burning to the ground the flames reaching up and licking the moon that was stained red and glowed with death. Not only was there a fire but also akuma were surrounding the house as if it were a moth to a flame. "To think this girl with no way of defending herself got out of that mess without being detected by akuma and then ran several miles with her injuries, it's amazing that she is even still alive." I noted as I was looking at my watch not wanting to look at the injured girl or her dying home. "Papa…" the girl murmured a single tear falling from her eye and to the concrete road as if that one tear was in slow motion and telling of all her sorrows in an instant. "We'd better get this girl to headquarters before she gets an infection." I told Leenalee who nodded sternly and carried the girl back to the car as we made out way back home.
